The Last Primal



Everyone came to a realization.

If the rumors were true, he was exerting his authority by killing the eldest prince with that bolt of energy!

He did not even give the latter a chance to explain!

It was a direct kill!

With the death of the eldest prince and the withdrawal of the allied army, who else would dare harbor evil intentions towards Seetho Khouge?

None of the Martial Grandmasters in the main hall, including Jin Sahn and Tioh Tahl who stood by the eldest prince, dared to provoke Aiden.

Even a hundred Martial Grandmasters of the three great dynasties were dead, who else would dare provoke him?

A single statement flashed through Mighty Lord Mor Hall's mind.

A bolt of energy to determine life and death!

To think that the means of that young man had turned even more frightening 20 years later!

Outside the main hall.

Seetho Khouge gazed into the distance with a dejected look in her eyes.

There was nothing over there and the person from earlier on had already left.

Mighty Lord Mor Hall arrived beside Seetho Khouge and asked curiously, "You knew that he wasn't dead a long time ago, empress?"

"That's right, I knew it since all those years ago."

"All those years ago?"

Mighty Lord Mor Hall frowned with a pensive expression.

A moment later, he shuddered and blurted, "That middle-aged monk at Dragon Burial Valley!"

Seetho Khouge nodded.

"That explains why the monk wanted to save you despite the tremendous risk and even escorted you all the way out,"

Mighty Lord Mor Hall lamented, "That monk was decisive to kill and his attacks were sharp. Not only that, his thought process was frighteningly detailed and he did not seem like someone from the usual religious sects."

"At that time, I had a fleeting thought that the means of the monk resembled someone. To think that it was really him."

When Mighty Lord Mor Hall saw Seetho Khouge remain in silence, he knew that everything that happened today had quite a huge blow for the child.

The betrayal of a kin was not something that everyone could deal with.

The sudden appearance and disappearance of that man also dealt a huge blow to her.

Mighty Lord Mor Hall did not know how to console her and merely asked, "Why did he choose to avoid meeting you?"

"He's afraid of implicating me as well as the Great North Dynasty,"

Seetho Khouge said softly, "Senior Mor Hall, do you really think that he triggered a beast stampede and committed a massacre just because he wanted to vent his frustrations over the death of his kin?"

"Was it not?" Mighty Lord Mor Hall froze for a moment.

"Of course not," Seetho Khouge shook her head.

Frowning, Mighty Lord Mor Hall asked, "If that's the case, why would he say that?"

Seetho Khouge replied, "It's because that's the only way it wouldn't be linked to me or the Great North Dynasty. That way, no major sect or faction would direct their rage towards the Great North Dynasty."

Mighty Lord Mor Hall was enlightened.

Aiden's identity was truly way too sensitive.

He had offended way too many factions back then!

There was nowhere for him left in the North Region!

Given the circumstances back then, even anyone who sheltered Aiden's brother would bring upon great troubles for themselves, let alone Aiden himself.

It would have been fine if Aiden had died at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.

But now that he was alive, he had to deal with the pursuit of the ten upper sects, four gentry clans and major factions such as Crystal Palace Sect!

That was why he chose to sever all ties with the Great North Dynasty so as to not implicate the latter.

It wouldn't be long before the battle at Iron Mountain Range was made known to the entire North Region.

At that time, countless sects, factions and martial artists would partake in the hunt for Aiden, whether or not they had any grudges with him.

That was because Aiden possessed the divine phoenix bone and many secret skills!

Anyone who could obtain Aiden's possessions would take over,to become the new strongest monster incarnate in history!

Everyone was hunting down the prey.

And Aiden was none other than the prey.

Mighty Lord Mor Hall sighed gently. "It's tough on him."

He knew clearly well that from this day forth, Aiden would have to bear the infamy of being called a violent and bloodthirsty demon et cetera.

Nobody would express any gratitude to him.

That was because everyone would deem Aiden as a violent and cruel demon whose hands were tainted with the blood of countless mortals just because he wanted to vent his frustrations!

Since he was not a mortal, he was a common enemy for everyone!

Seetho Khouge vaguely realized that the two of them may never meet again after this departure.

"Empress, let's head back,"

Mighty Lord Mor Hall said softly, "The Great North has no more worries now that the allied army of the three dynasties have withdrawn. I believe that from today on, nobody in the entire Great North will dare to question you."

Seetho Khouge sighed and turned to leave.

…

Because of the passing of his kin, Aiden appeared and triggered a beast stampede to murder millions of martial artists and a hundred Martial Grandmasters in a town!

The piece of news rippled through the entire North Region like a whirlwind.

A shocking wave was stirred in the cultivation world of the North Region once again!

"How can that be? Everyone witnessed him leaping down the Dragon Burial Valley 20 years ago! How is he still alive?"

"Millions of martial artists! How strong!"

"I heard that he hasn't managed to train to become a fiend demon. If so, how did he manage to kill a hundred Martial Grandmasters? Could his strength have grown to such a terrifying degree?"

"I think the Martial Grandmasters fell into an ambush and their spirit energies and Essence Spirits were locked."

"Is he declaring war against the mortals?!"

It was a common topic of discussion among all the martial artists of the North Region.

Initially, the cultivation world had calmed down with the imminent opening of the intermediate ancient battlefield because all the major sects and factions were busy preparing to send their disciples inside.

However, the piece of news stirred the entire North Region!

The number of martial artists in the Great North Dynasty increased significantly.

All the major sects and factions moved – all of them wanted to be the first to hunt down Aiden.

Martial artists of the ten upper sects, four gentry clans, two aristocratic families and even super sects such as Crystal Palace Sect and Malefic Demons Clan appeared one after another in search of Aiden.

It was almost impossible for Aiden to continue hiding given the current circumstances!

However, for 10 consecutive days, nobody found Aiden.

Even those in the legendary divinity realms were alerted for this period of time.

It was said that the higher ups of the Crystal Palace Sect visited Azure Myst Sect personally to capture Aiden but to no avail.

Within the capital of Great North, powerful spirit consciousnesses would sweep past daily to check every last corner of the capital.

It was as though Aiden had vanished into thin air.

Nobody knew where he was.

Suddenly, a spirit crane that arrived in the vicinity of Crystal Palace Sect caused yet another huge stir!

There was a declaration written on it.

"You had better not send any martial artists into the ancient battlefield, or I'll murder each and every single one of them I see! Blood will be paid by blood for the destroyed cities of North Country!"

It was signed with a name… Aiden!

The fact that nobody from Crystal Palace Sect stood out to deny it meant that it was probably true.

The piece of news caused a huge uproar.

There was someone in this world who dared to threaten Crystal Palace Sect!

This was a declaration of war!

A Martial Master was declaring war against a massive titan of history in the world!

That was courage that no one could match!

There were no scheming or conniving plots.

It was a declaration of war in bright daylight!

He threatened Crystal Palace Sect under the watch of the entire martial world!

If they dared to send anyone into the ancient battlefield, everyone would be murdered by Aiden!

Blood will be paid by blood for the destroyed cities of North Country!

A full 20 years had passed.

Nobody expected Aiden to survive.

Less than that, nobody expected this monster incarnate to reappear with such a domineering stance that he would dare to trample on the dignity of Crystal Palace Sect and declare war against them!

The entire cultivation world was in a full uproar and discussions were strife.

"Steel is easily snapped if it's too rigid. That lad is way too ballsy to dare to provoke Crystal Palace Sect as a Martial Master realm spirit demon. I think he has a death wish!"

"I don't think so. In my opinion, I think he's very smart."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"If he charges at Crystal Palace Sect directly, that would be having a death wish. However, he's very smart to shift the fight onto the ancient battlefield."

"So what?"

"That lad murdered Jorl Wuya 20 years ago and can be considered as the true number one Perfected Being of the North Region! With the restriction of the ancient battlefield at the Martial Master realm, he would be equivalent to a god within! How could anyone from Crystal Palace Sect be a match for him?"

"That might not be true. Don't forget that a Lesser Divine realm powerhouse crushed his inner core entirely, that's undeniable. Furthermore, that lad had no spirit energy in the battle at Iron Mountain Range. In my opinion, his strength has dropped instead."
