The Last Primal-850 Chapter 850
The Ancient One's Palace had long disappeared.
However, the paragons who managed to survive and the Guardian Elders of the super sects looked in its direction for the longest time with conflicted expressions in silence.
They felt an inexplicable sense of repression.
"That man… should be dead, right?"
A long time later, Majestic Sky Sect's paragon asked hesitantly.
Overlord Sect's Shadow Raven nodded. "He should be."
After a moment, as though he was trying to convince himself, Shadow Raven repeated with conviction, "He must be!"
"That's right, he's definitely dead."
"He's already so badly injured! Unless there's some divine method to resurrect the dead and regrow flesh, he's definitely dead for sure!"
"That's right. The Ancient One's Palace only contains its inheritance, how could there be anything to save his life?"
Almost at the same time, the remaining paragons heaved a sigh of relief, as if a burden was lifted off their shoulders. All of them looked at ease and smiled gently.
The Guardian Elders present were expressionless as they exchanged glances. All of them could tell of the worry in the others' eyes.
To old people like themselves who had lived for hundreds of years, the reactions and deductions of their juniors felt more like lies to make themselves feel better.
Even they were unsure if the successor of Holy Fire Island was still alive.
That was because nobody knew what was inside the Ancient One's Palace!

It would be fine if the Holy Fire Island's successor died in the Ancient One's Palace. If he survived and was reborn…
Everything else aside, none of the paragons who had entered the ancient battlefield this time round, Hart You, Shadow Raven, Monk Jue Chen, and the others included, would be a match for that man.
That was because all of those paragons would be fearful.
Subconsciously, all of them were hoping that the successor of Holy Fire Island would die instead of wishing for his survival so that they could fight him once more!
In this battle, the paragons of the most powerful sects were defeated so badly that their confidence was destroyed.
Clear Heart Nunnery's Guardian Elder murmured. "The fact that they're able to produce such a paragon is a clear sign that the light of providence is shining on them. Could this generation be the rise of Holy Fire Island once more?"
"It's probably unsuitable to refer to him as a paragon anymore."
"That's right. Given his potential, bearing, guts, and methods, he can be called a monster incarnate!"
"Not just that, he's a rare monster incarnate throughout history!"
The few Guardian Elders were clear about how much of a stir it would cause once news of this spread to the rest of the world.
The entire martial world might be moved because of this!
"It's alright."
One of the so far surviving Martial Grandmaster old fogeys, the Hollow Monastery's Guardian Elder said calmly. "No matter how strong that lad is, he's only at Martial Knight realm. His future is still unknown. Given the firm foundations of our sects, we have rare monster incarnates as well!"
"That's true. If he meets against the legacy disciples of our sects, he shouldn't have much of a chance of winning."
Everyone conversed for a little more before separating.
The battlefield was left with nothing but a pile of corpses, as though telling a tale of how tragic that battle was…
An entire month had passed in the brink of an eye. The state of the rest of the invaders that have come from the same world as Aiden have either died or should have long left.
Ugburg City.
The arrival of a piece of news caused a huge uproar!
"A monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island and this generation's Holy Maiden of the fiend sects entered the Ancient One's Palace and their fates are unknown!"
"Where did you get that news from? It's fake, right? Throughout history, the Ancient One's Palace has only allowed a single person in. How can both of them enter together?"
"It's absolutely true! A senior brother of mine witnessed it personally! It's said that the corpses beneath the Ancient One's Palace can form a mountain and there are rivers of blood. More than half of the paragons from the most powerful sects are dead and some were crippled on the spot!"
"How can that be? Aren't there Guardian Elders?"
"The Guardian Elders died as well!" e there is no news at all?"
For certain people, their glamors can never be contained.
Ever since he entered Ugburg City, Aiden caused an earthshaking change to the state of the entire place!
The High Priest's Extermination force was the first to be removed, followed by Corpse Poison Sect. Even powerful super sects with formidable foundations such as Crystal Palace Sect and Malefic Demons Clan were swept away by him!
How could there be no news of a martial artist that was so aggressive and domineering? f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
"Uncle, when I heard that the name of monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island was called Void Blade, I even suspected that he's Aiden."
Tai Liu said coldly. "Both of them make use of swords and have knowledge of the Void Splitting Manual. Furthermore, they both have incredibly strong and sturdy body and are at late stage of the Martial Knight realm…" 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
"That's impossible, young miss."
The elderly man shook his head, "Although both of them use swords, Aiden has his perfect-grade black blade, Rygintarth while this monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island merely used a supreme-grade unnamed artifact blade. Moreover, it's said that this person is extremely tall and bulky and is a burly man with a rough appearance. The two of them differ too much in terms of appearances."
Tai Liu nodded.
There was truly no way to explain it; although they had their similarities, their differences were even more.
Uncle Liang continued, "Also, although Aiden is strong, he isn't at the state where he's able to take down the paragons of the most powerful sects, let alone a couple of Guardian Elders as well."
Back then, in the Ancient Burial Grounds ruins, Aiden had to take a long time before baiting the Guardian Elder of Crystal Palace Sect to death.
In terms of actual combat strength, Aiden was clearly far inferior.
However, the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island fought against a couple of Guardian Elders and even killed them in return – the difference between them was too great.
Tai Liu nodded. "No matter what, I hope that Fellow Daoist Su can return safely."
At the entrance of the mansion, Madam Dara hugged her knees and sat on a stone step with a worried expression.
There was another female, light scaleless slender reptilian woman kneeling before her. A cold glint shimmered between its half-opened eyes. She was Lady Pyre, who was currently acting as a guard and the only friend to the frightened and confused Madam Dara.
Interestingly, it was Madam Dara, the always confident and salacious, supposedly more mature woman that was more affected by the recent news and not the younger, much more unstable fiery tempered Lady Pyre.
"Hais."
Sighing gently, Dara murmured. "All the martial artists in the city are discussing that monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island and Void Blade, but there's still no news of young master. I don't even know how he's doing right now."
"Hah… you stupid woman. He is fine and you should also know that."
Lady Pyre opened its eyes and yawned listlessly.
Dara frowned and asked.
"You're saying that he is fine? How do you know that, even? You've been with me the entire time and you haven't received any news either."
Sitting up, Lady Pyre extended its hand and gestured in a human-like manner while crying out repeatedly.
"How how… Are you so confused that you even forgot the basics?! Just listen to your heart and follow its trail towards the source…" She gave a hint amidst another sigh.
Dara's eyes widened.
While others may not have understood that strange sentence, Dara did. As an official member of the Young Master's family and a sworn servant, they shared a mental connection that traversed through both time and space - even dimensions - and could not be broken.
Her heart skipped a beat as she exclaimed. "You are right! But does that mean that Void Blade is…"
Lady Pyre gestured with a shushing hand sign.
Understanding, Dara clutched her cherry lips immediately. Instantly, the worry on her face disappeared and she grinned, causing her eyes to look like crescent moons in a painting.
