Picking Up Attributes From Today-Chapter 14: The Battle Of The Saint Domains, Destroying Heaven And Earth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The wind howled in the vast and boundless skies!

The mighty and savage gigantic Golden Flame Dragonne stood proudly in the air. Fury spewed from its lion eyes, which contained endless wrath. As a Saint Domain Magical Beast, it had been a very long time since any living being had antagonized it like this!

Yet two lowly humans had actually come up right to its doorstep to take advantage of it today. This was practically an utmost form of provocation and humiliation toward the great Saint Domain Magical Beast!

The Golden Flame Dragonne was very angry, and the consequences were going to be very serious!

“Golden Flame Dragonne, I don’t have any other intention in coming here!”

The purple-robed elderly man spoke, his voice kindly and mild as though an amicable and benevolent old man. He said, “This is my granddaughter. It’ll be her sixteenth birthday in a few days, so I’d like to give her a birthday gift!”

“Lowly human, what exactly are you trying to say?”

The Golden Flame Dragonne’s wild and violent voice rang out like an explosion in the sky!

“This granddaughter of mine has very high magic talent. Both her Wind and Fire Elements are superior-grade, and her spiritual power is 38 times that of her peers!”

The purple-robed elderly man added with a smile, “And you, the Golden Flame Dragonne, just so happen to be a Saint Domain Magical Beast that’s both Wind-Elemental and Fire-Elemental. This old man hopes that you can form a contract with my granddaughter and be her magical pet!”

Form a contract!

Become her magical pet!

These words of his were tantamount to a land mine going off out of nowhere, shocking everyone so badly that their minds were humming as if an explosion had gone off within!

“Oh my dragon god! Am I h-hearing this correctly?”

“Getting a great Saint Domain Magical Beast to be a little girl’s magical pet? What the hell, that must be the craziest joke I’ve ever heard in my entire life!”

“They actually want to subdue a Saint Domain Magical Beast! As expected, the Saint Domain isn’t a realm that mere mortals like us can imagine!”

“Who exactly is this Saint Domain Magician...”

Alison, Bobby, Millo, and Yale had received a rather huge shock. Their faces were full of incredulity as they stared at the purple-robed elderly man standing proudly in the sky!

Just what kind of existence was a Saint Domain Magical Beast?

That was a terrifying being standing at the pinnacle of innumerable Magical Beasts, you know!

Subduing a Saint Domain Magical Beast?

Practically unimaginable!

Meng Lei was astounded, too. However, what he felt even more keenly was fervency and excitement.

That’s too impressive! And too domineering! Wanting to subdue a Saint Domain Magical Beast the moment he stepped forward, that’s practically cool beyond belief, isn’t it?! If I could also subdue a Saint Domain Magical Beast as my mount, even death would be worth it!

“Foolish humans! You’re too much!”

The Golden Flame Dragonne was outraged. Flames of fury burst forth from its lion eyes. It roared, “I’m going to torture you to death and burn you into ashes to vent my fury!”

Booming thunder exploded and rang out in the sky. Fearsome Wind Elements began to gather around the Golden Flame Dragonne. Before long, a gigantic hurricane had manifested!

Boom, boom, boom!

The several meters-tall hurricane was as though a heavenly pillar spanning between heaven and earth. Sand and rocks flew about, and the whole place turned dark and gloomy. Darkness enveloped everything within a radius of a few miles!

“Oh my dragon god!”

“Is that the fearsomeness of a Saint Domain Magical Beast?!”

They gazed at the terrifying hurricane suspended in mid-air. Even with a distance of quite a few kilometers between them, all of them could sense just how fearsome the hurricane was. Should they be engulfed by the hurricane, they would definitely die a terrible death!

“E-everyone, should we go a little further away?”

“When celestials fight, it’s the mortals that suffer. A battle of that level isn’t something that we can watch. We’d better go further away. If...”

All of them exchanged a look and saw fear and alarm in one another’s eyes!

Then, all of them decided to wuss out!

“Let’s go!”

...

“Lowly humans, die!”

With a flap of the Golden Flame Dragonne’s wings, the hurricane crashed toward the elderly man and the teenage girl with a boom. The look on the pretty girl’s face changed slightly. She cried out in panic, “Grandfather!”

“There’s no need to panic!”

The purple-robed elderly man chuckled and ducked while bringing his granddaughter with him. With a flash, they disappeared into thin air. The ferocious hurricane missed its target and didn’t manage to cause any harm to the grandfather and granddaughter pair at all!

By the time they reappeared, they were already behind the Golden Flame Dragonne. What also appeared at the same time was an incredibly thick and wide bolt of silver lightning!

Crackle!

Lightning flashed across the sky and struck viciously at the Golden Flame Dragonne!

“You cunning humans!” roared the Golden Flame Dragonne.

Then, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a flaming dragon!

Boom!

The fire dragon and silver lightning clashed against each other. The impact was as though an atomic bomb exploding. Amidst the earthshaking explosion, an enormous mushroom cloud rose into the air!

The ground let out thunderous booms, and trees cracked and broke!

Electrical currents wreaked havoc, and sparks of fire flew everywhere!

“Oh my god!”

When Meng Lei and the other four, who were in the midst of running, saw what had happened behind them, the shock and fear in their hearts reached its peak. They ran madly and desperately, deeply regretting the fact that they had been born with only two legs!

Boom!

It was just a shame that they were ultimately still a step too late. With the point of impact as the epicenter, a horrifying shockwave erupted and spread outward in all directions instantly. In just a few short breaths, it had already reached right in front of them!

“We’re finished!!”

A powerful wave assaulted them. Meng Lei felt as if someone had knocked against his head viciously. Then, his vision blacked out, and he was lost to the world!

...

An unknown amount of time passed!

Meng Lei slowly regained consciousness.

My head hurts!

Meng Lei touched his head, which felt sticky to the touch.

I’m bleeding?

Meng Lei was on the brink of tears as he stared at his hand that had been dyed red. It was only at this point that he realized that not a single part of him was well and intact. His mind was foggy and dizzy, and his back and waist ached...

But fortunately... I survived?

When he thought back to the terrifying events before he had passed out, Meng Lei felt lingering fear in his heart.

That scene was practically doomsday itself. Little would I have thought that a battle between Saint Domains would actually be this scary!

As the saying went, “Youth knows no fear.” To be honest, he actually hadn’t wanted to flee just now. He had even wanted to widen his knowledge and take a look at close range at this world’s so-called Saint Domain. When thinking back about it now, this was practically laughable!

Widen his knowledge?

With my current battle capabilities, I don’t even qualify to watch the battle at close range!

Meng Lei shook his head with a bitter smile.

It would be considered good fortune to even just survive. Sigh, I’ve ultimately still thought too lightly of this world!

Meng Lei struggled to his feet.

The battle seemed to have already ended?

The Golden Flame Dragonne was gone!

The elderly man and the teenage girl were also gone!

However, judging from the surrounding forest that was in a terrible mess, one could tell that the battle earlier must have been extremely horrifying. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration even to call it “Destroying Heaven and Earth”. Fortunately, they were far away enough, so they were lucky enough to have survived!

“Alison, wake up!

“Bobby! Wake up!

“Millo! Yale...”

“Where am I?”

“I’m still alive?”

As Meng Lei patted them, Alison and the other three regained consciousness one by one. Like Meng Lei, all of them had sustained some light injuries, but they were still in passable condition. They would be back in good health after some rest!

“As expected, a Saint Domain-level battle isn’t something that we can watch!”

“That was too frightening!”

All of them rejoiced at their narrow escape from death. However, outside of their joy at their stroke of luck, they were also very curious about the battle’s outcome. After all, this was a battle between Saint Domains. It wasn’t something that they could encounter that many times in their entire lives!

“So who exactly won?”

“How about... We go over and take a look?”

“That’s not really a good idea, is it?”

“The battle has already ended. There’s no harm in going over to take a look!”

“Let’s do that, then!”

Before long, the five arrived at the bottom of the battleground. They were completely stunned by the scene before their eyes!

“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
