The Last Primal

The Majestic Sky Sect's young paragon's entire arm was contorted into a weird shape with his bones protruding out of his flesh as it hung limply. With the meat hanging on his bones, it was a terrifying sight!

"Ah!"

The successor of Majestic Sky Sect howled in pain as he collapsed to the ground, shivering with a fearful expression.

With two slashes and a punch, the successor of Majestic Sky Sect was crippled!

The paragons present were not the only ones shocked; even the Sealers that were watching were slightly agitated.

"In a fight between fierce lions, one has to use their full strength. Since he grossly underestimated his opponent, he has no one but himself to blame for landing in such a precarious state."

"Hmmm… I wonder… Was it truly just because he underestimated his opponent?"

Instantly, the tides on the battlefield had changed.

Nobody expected that the successor of Majestic Sky Sect would land in a tragic state with a crippled arm after a single exchange of blows.

This meant that a paragon had already lost the rights to fight for the Human Emperor's inheritance and had to withdraw.

The paragons present looked at the successor of Infinite Sky Sect with a pitiable expression.

Up till this point, the paragons had not realized that a nightmare that would continue to haunt them for many years to come had just begun…

Compared to some of the others present, the fate of Majestic Sky Sect's successor was considered to be rather lucky…

"What's this crazed madman's background? He's got some skills at the very least..."

Shadow Raven roared in laughter as he swept his spear horizontally, forcing Hart Yuo, who was coming at him, to retreat with a thrust.

Compared to Malefic Demons Clan's spear techniques, Shadow Raven's spear thrusts and slashes was much less complex.

It was just a simple thrust from the middle level. However, its momentum was oppressive and the spear's ferociousness was shot forth completely; he was not disadvantaged even against two opponents!

The Sword Sect's paragon-chosen heir's Hart Yuo's sword technique was not weak at all and his internal Force was extremely sharp, possessing both offense and defense. Colliding continuously against Shadow Raven's gigantic spear, the sound of metal clanging rang repeatedly as sparks flew endlessly.

On the side of the demonic sects, apart from Shadow Raven who could hold his ground in a one versus two, the other fiend heirs were completely disadvantaged.

For Shaori An of the Cloud Rain Sect and for the Holy Maiden of the Pure Maidens Sect who were weaker in combat strength, to begin with, they were in a perilous situation and were completely suppressed, forced to retreat continuously.

On the other side of the battlefield.

The fiend heir of the Mirage Fiend Clan might not necessarily win Seehto'ch Ku'gar of the Purple Firmament Sect in a one-on-one fight either.

One of the High Priest's elite forces, one of the male Reverends was assisting Seehto'ch Ku'gar, the fiend heir of Mirage Fiend Clan was at a loss and the situation was not looking good for him.

If this battle continued, the already disadvantaged demonic heirs were bound to lose!

On the battlefield, the only variable was the strange madman, the unknown burly man in ragged, linen clothes with an unknown background, known to everyone as Void Blade.

…

*DING!* *DONG!*

After crippling another young successor with two slashes and a following punch to the center of his ribcage shattering it in the process, Aiden heard a piercing ring of a bell beside him.

The loud bell rang for a long time and was never-ending, like a sharp thorn that pierced his head repeatedly!

With a golden bell in hand, Reverend Jor Har had already arrived behind Aiden.

That was a powerful artifact weapon, one of the top treasures of their order, the Golden Bell. Its body was a bell made of pure gold ore and its mouth was circular with rounded edges; exquisite patterns were engraved all over its body.

The Golden Bell in Reverend Jor Har's hand was nourished by the High Priest's holy light before. It received the holy baptism, granting it incredible power in the process!

It had the strongest impact on those who had opposing, 'evil' thoughts and stood against the Ancient One's commands.

Those martial artists that were weaker would die on the spot, bleeding from all their orifices at the same time!

When Reverend Jor Har arrived here, he killed dozens of late stage Martial Knight warriors with just the ringing sound of the Golden Bell alone. That was clear proof of how terrifying its might was!

However, it was a pity that although the bell was powerful, its impact was almost negligible for Aiden who had cleared all seven orifices.

*SWOOSH!*

A cold gust of wind blew behind him.

Wielding his Diamond Staff, Reverend Jor Har stabbed at Aiden's head with astounding strength.

*CLANG!*

Aiden did not even turn back and made a backhand slash, as though he had eyes behind his back. Clashing heavily against the reverend's battle staff, a loud sound was heard as sparks flew everywhere!

One side was a reactionary counter-attack while the other side was a preemptive strike.

However, Aiden did not yield.

Yet, Reverend Jor Har was forced to retreat half a step back!

"Incredible! How strong!"

"That person's physique is actually comparable to the Reverend's secret technique?"

"How could that be possible?!"

The young paragons were astounded upon seeing this.

Initially, when Aiden crippled Majestic Sky Sect's young successor, everyone thought that it was merely because the latter underestimated his opponent and was caught unaware.

But now that Aiden was not disadvantaged after a head-on clash with the Reverend Jor Har, the crazed battle priest that was known for his supernatural strength and defense, the paragons of the righteous sects frowned and their expressions gradually turned grim.

They did not know that at the moment, Reverend Jor Har was even more shocked.

His Diamond Staff, his most treasured companion and artifact weapon he had received way back when he joined and grown stronger alongside him in his countless decades of ventures, was far stronger than the Golden Bell.

It was the Diamond Staff, also known as the Demon Vanquishing Staff, was one of the most unique and legendary weapons known to the world. It symbolized unbeatable might and unyielding dominance that was capable of suppressing all evil!

Initially, Reverend Jor Har thought that he could suppress Aiden confidently by relying on those two artifact weapons.

However, even with those two artifact weapons, he did not gain any advantage. Instead, he was the one disadvantaged right now!

"Hahaha!"

Turning around, Aiden grinned and said, "Stupid priest, you never learn, do you? After I gave you a chance and spared your sad life the previous time, how dare you provoke me once again? Do you believe that your false guardian would protect you forever?"

*BOOM!*

Aiden stomped his feet and the ground and mountains shook. With a bang, he burst forward and appeared in front of Reverend Jor Har in the blink of an eye. Circulating his surging [Soul Power], he swung his arms and cut down with his broad sword, as if he wanted to rip the void apart!

"AAAArgh! Protect!"

Reverend Jor Har roared madly as his full power burst forth in the next moment. Instantly, his figure expanded along with his aura!

"Roar!"

From the depths of Reverend Jor Har's mouth came a furious roar that sounded like a mythical lion and was able to shock one's mind. Two bedazzling golden beams shot out from his eyes like a descending God with a terrifying might!

It was as though Reverend Jor Har's body had disappeared and in his place stood a mighty lion with golden fur that roared into the sky fearlessly!

Even Shaori An and the others who were watching from the perimeter of the battlefield were shocked, let alone Aiden who was facing the impact directly.

It was a majestic sight. The true depths of the High Priest's forces were truly astounding. Its centuries-lost secrets could shock the martial world again and again… Revealing powers that were beyond the mortals of this world.

However, it was a pity that Reverend Jor Har was facing Aiden.

Aiden was not of this world, nor was he any mortal. He had the strength of countless creatures inside his body, strengthened by his primordial soul…

He was not a mortal, he was somewhere beyond that.

He was a Primal! The true origin race of all creation!

After meeting with Aiden's golden gaze, the fearless lion developed an innate sense of fear and its aura weakened momentarily.

*CLANG!*

The ethereal blade energy unleashed by him collided against the Diamond Staff and a jarring sound of metal clashing rang throughout the battlefield.

Reverend Jor Har retreated once more.

*SLASH!*

Before he could catch his breath, a second strike had already descended.

Aiden's stamina and physique were terrifying and far beyond what Reverend Jor Har could compare with.
