Heavenly Harem Sect
Chapter 272 - 272: Glimpse of Power

[: 3rd POV :]

As Daniel's words echoed in the room, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.

The Empress' heart skipped a beat, and her body trembled slightly.

Tilith's eyes widened and her heart fluttered

"What do you mean, Sect Master?"

She questioned, her voice barely audible amid the overwhelming silence.

"Just as I said, I want both of you to be mine, and this will be the proof of the alliance between the two parties,"

He repeated with a mischievous grin.

Obviously, his reason was just a cover-up, but Lilith and Tilith weren't idiots to realise that.

"In addition, the Empress can use the token and her authority as an excuse, saying that the alliance between the two factions has already started and there's no need to be suspicious or cautious towards the other party"

The Empress remained silent and didn't utter a word

But in her heart, she was as nervous as her daughter.

How long had it been since she was yearned?

The last time she remembered was when she wanted to give birth to her daughter.

Yet at this moment, she thought twice about her feelings.

If it was before, she would have rejected adamantly.

However, the man right in front of her was someone who shouldn't be messed with.

With the influence, wealth and power, Lilith was considering it.

But since it was so sudden, she was unsure of how to feel.

She didn't want to be desperate, but there won't be another chance like this.

"Of course, there's no need to reply immediately. You can have some time to think it through" Daniel added.

"I understand"

"Good," He said as he stood up and the two followed suit.

"Now, shall we head to the dining area? You can decide whether you'll join me for lunch or not."

He gestured towards the door.

"Alright,"

"Sect Master, I'd like to accompany you for lunch," Tilith spoke.

The Empress looked at her daughter and, upon noticing the excitement in her gaze, sighed and agreed.

"Then, I'll go as well."

"Haha, it's been a while since I had such beautiful company, please, this way,"

Daniel smiled, his eyes twinkling in excitement.

It had been a long time since he had guests, so naturally, he wouldn't miss the opportunity.

"Let's go,"

He led them to a small dining area.

"Please take a seat"

As they sat down, they waited patiently.

Soon, a team of graceful maids appeared, carrying the delicious and aromatic delicacies, and placing them on the table.

After everything had been prepared, they bowed respectfully.

"Enjoy"

Looking at the food on the table, both Lilith and Tilith were surprised.

As she looked, Lilith was startled by the appearance of the food.

'Why does the food feel so familiar...?'

She somehow found the aura emitting out from meat familiar.

However, she couldn't point out what was it.

But soon, she pointed her finger towards the meat and trembled.

"Are the foods made from H-Half Immortal Beasts!?"

Lilith couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Moreover, she finally remembered why the aura was familiar.

After all, she had fought with the beast that was drawn to a draw.

The beast was known as Flame Behemoth.

It was a beast that was the size of a mountain and one of the oldest beasts that had ever lived.

Yet right now, what was left of its rich history and past was nothing but cooked meat.

However, the more she gazed at the remaining food, the more fearful she became.

It wasn't only Flame Behemoth, but as well as 5 Ancient Mythical Beasts that had existed.

Yet, all of them turned into soup or barbequed.

Hearing Lilith's exclamation, Daniel nodded with a smile.

"Yes that's right and the beasts are hunted by the disciples who had reached the Ascended realm"

He explained with a proud smile, but for Lilith and Tilith, it was a horrifying fact.

"The A-Ascended realm...!?"

"Is this real...?" Tilith asked herself.

Lilith was shocked from her soul that the disciples who had hunted the beasts that were served as their food were only in the Ascended Realm.

They believed that the ones who hunted the Half-Immortal beasts were disciples who were equivalent to them.

But, did they hear it right?

Ascended Realm?

They were left speechless that instead of Half-Immortals, it was just disciples who had reached the Ascended Realm.

'If they could hunt Half-Immortal Beasts...then what am I supposed to be...?' Lilith mocked herself.

'Compared to them, I'm nothing' She thought to herself.

Lilith never imagined that one day, her achievements were miniscule.

It felt like everything that she had done was all for nothing.

It seems that not even she could be compared to his disciples.

"Sect Master, you said that the beasts were hunted by the disciples in the Ascended Realm, how old are the disciples?"

Tilith suddenly asked.

"The youngest disciple who had hunted the beasts was around 6 years old"

"The eldest that is in Ascended Realm are roughly around 24 due to them being recruited recently" Daniel explained.

"6 years old!" Tilith exclaimed in both admiration and fear.

Lilith and Tilith thought they could have some self-esteem by believing his disciples were older than them.

However, their confidence was shattered.

If a child who hadn't become an adult could already hunt Half-Immortal Beasts, then both of them wouldn't know where could they put their face.

'No, this isn't possible...'

Lilith denied it and didn't want to believe that there were children younger than her who were already on par with her.

"How is this possible? How could they already hunt Half-Immortal Beast..."

The Empress asked, her mind reeling from the thought.

Daniel smiled wryly as he heard her words.

"It would be an easy task and you can be more powerful than my disciples if both of you become mine"

Daniel smirked as he knew that they would be tempted.

All of a sudden, both of their bodies were tense.

They had an expression that showed that they were both contemplating the offer.

'If I became his woman, would I also have that kind of power and strength?'

'If it is true, I could be the strongest empress that had existed in this realm!'

As if they could see the future, Lilith and Tilith were both attracted by the temptation of the offer.

"Mother, I'm willing to accept the Sect Master's proposal"

Tilith, who was always silent and timid, was the first to speak.

She was no longer hesitant, and the look on her face was full of conviction.

On the other hand, Lilith was surprised.

However, when she thought about the benefits, Lilith's mind began to wander.

"Sect Master, forgive me for being bold...but...how strong...are you...?"

Lilith questioned as she gulped her saliva down to her throat.

"Oh? Do you wish to know?" Daniel smiled widely and for some reason, Lilith and Tilith's bodies trembled under his gaze.

"Then, I'll show you a glimpse of it" Daniel smirked.

"W-What do you mean" Lilith questioned, however soon she realized how terrifying her curiosity was.

All of a sudden, a black hole appeared within the centre of the table.

Feeling the danger of the black hole, Liltih and Tilith stood up and took a distance away from it.

Seconds later, the Black Hole devoured all of the dimension and the reality itself, and now, Lilith and Tilith were floating in an empty void.

"Where is t-this? W-Where am I?" Lilith questioned in fear as she held her daughter close to her.

However, soon, hundreds of meteorite-sized eyes manifested and gazed at them.

"W-What in the world is that!?" Tilith pointed out with her fingers trembling.

Even Lilith who was a Half-Immortal was trembling right before the enormous eyes.

It felt like if those eyes had closed, it could kill her.

After a few seconds, all of the eyes closed and at the centre of them, there was a small white spark.

"What is this...?"

Tilith was curious about the small spark.

Despite having fear, she reached out for the spark.

However, the moment she touched it, a big bang occurred and at a godlike speed, galaxies were formed and the universe clusters were created.

Witnessing all of this, the mother and daughter were captivated by it as they muttered, "How beautiful...".

Even though they were overwhelmed by fear, now, they were in awe of the beauty of the universe.

However, an enormous dragon that was the size of the universe itself was devouring everything in its mouth.

Eventually, the whole universe was empty and only silence echoed and a few seconds later, both of them were back at the same table.

However, this time, they were breathing heavily.

There were sweats all over their bodies and it felt like they had gone through an unimaginable experience.

"How do you feel after having a glimpse of my power?" Daniel smirked.

Lilith tried lifting her head towards Daniel, but after going through that strange occurrence, she felt she had greatly underestimated him once again.

He was no longer a being that could be classified as a cultivator, he was a god himself.
