The Last Primal

Nora Zell did not wish to die. She still had a lot to look forward to.

She wanted to continue staying in Azure Myst Sect and meet the mysterious new girl her young mistress, Tai-Liu had just invited. She was said to be related to that mysterious gray-robed man that caused the world to turn upside down… that Aiden!

However, she knew that in such a situation where everyone could barely fend for themselves, no one could save her.

The only way she could survive was if she fought for herself!

Against the attacks that came from all directions, Nora Zell shivered and channeled her inner mana with all her might. Gradually, her eyes turned into a mysterious shade of blue, akin to the color of the deep ocean!

A terrifying aura exuded from within her.

It was as though an ancient power had been awakened.

"Ah!"

Roaring into the skies, Nora Zell let out an ear-piercing shriek!

Her initially wrinkly hair turned silky smooth, swaying on its own and giving off a bright luster.

Although she had nothing beneath her feet, she rose slowly into the air and stood upright! It was like a godly being of the universe with a pair of azure blue eyes and golden dancing hair – her magnificence was outstanding and blinding!

That scene did not cause much of a stir among the Martial Masters and Martial Grandmasters.

No matter what, Nora Zell was just a Martial Knight martial artist.

While the aura that she suddenly gave off was terrifying and even shuddering, it was not strong enough to threaten the Martial Masters.

However, thousands of feet above the clouds, the expression of Demon Crow Clan's Lord who was embroiled in a battle currently changed.

"Hmm?"

His gaze penetrated the voids and landed on Nora Zell.

"Could it be…"

The Clan Lord's eyes shimmered as if he had recalled something.

On the battlefield, just as Nora Zell was about to be drowned by the countless spirit arts and weapons, a burst of energy shot forth from within her.

Buzz!

The spirit weapons that were arriving from all directions froze in midair.

Even the spirit arts shook violently before dissipating.

All the Martial Knight martial artists present were shocked when they saw that!

A level three Martial Knight had managed to defend against the full-powered attacks of 10 level five Martial Knight martial artists and two level six Martial Knight martial artists!

That scene had already surpassed everyone's knowledge!

It was a three-level gap right there!

After a momentary pause, all the artifact weapons flew back in reverse and Nora Zell's gaze gradually dimmed. She turned extremely weak and fell from midair, as though she had lost all her strength.

"Caw, caw!"

The sound of a younger-sounding bird echoed out as a green streak of light shot by, carrying Nora Zell before retreating at an even faster speed.

The one that saved Nora Zell was none other than a swan, albeit much younger, and smaller than the one that had just emerged.

"Hahahaha!"

Right then, a series of laughter broke out from the horizons far away.

"I'm Perfected Being Jorel Mort of Iridescent Clouds Palace. Greetings, Demon Crow Clan's Lord!"

"I'm Perfected Being Loa Jun of True Fire Sect, here to assist the mighty Clan Lord!"

"I'm Perfected Being Lie John of Southern Mountains Sect came here to help the Clan Lord!"

"I'm Perfected Being Hart Mors of Azure Frost Sect, here to help the Clan Lord kill that vicious old beast!"

Four terrifying auras surged over and climbed thousands of feet into the clouds instantly, surrounding the old quasi-immortal swan.

The Azure Myst Sect martial artists felt their hearts sink.

The immortal crane was old and it did not have a clear advantage against Demon Crow Clan's Lord. But now, there were four more Martial Grandmaster experts!

Magical Artifacts shaped something like flying ships sped over from the horizon with murderous intent.

Not long after, martial artists of the other four sects arrived!

There were a full two hundred Martial Grandmasters and two thousand Martial Masters combined from the other four sects!

Together, there were more than ten thousand Martial Knight martial artists!

The insertion of such a massive amount of power into the battlefield was almost a fatal blow for Azure Myst Sect!

Initially, Azure Myst Sect was holding its ground on the Nascent Soul and Golden Core battlefields.

But now, all four battlefields of Azure Myst Sect had fallen into an encirclement and could collapse at any moment to be entirely annihilated!

Almost at the same time, a deafening bang sounded from a cave abode within Azure Myst Sect.

A figure had broken out of seclusion!

—

With the addition of the other four major sects, the situation of the battle changed.

The old quasi-immortal swan was fighting one against five and spread its wings, causing gusts of wind to howl and the clouds to shift endlessly. Divine energy filled the skies as it roared in anger, fighting with its fullest strength.

Although the old quasi-immortal swan was aged, it still had the remaining dominance as a pure-blooded ferocious bird.

*Pshew!* *Pshew!* *Pshew!*

It released a shocking demonic skill and tens of thousands of feathered wings shot forth from its body.

Burning with scarlet flames, each feathered wing was like an apocalyptic spear. Shooting forward fiercely, they tore through the voids and left countless holes!

"Let a Blood Curse Mirror be formed with my blood!"

The Demon Crow Clan's Lord bit his fingertip and flicked out a drop of fresh blood.

Waving his bone staff, he guided that drop of blood and drew an obscure arc in midair.

Chanting an incantation, he created a mirror of bloodied, scarlet water to swiftly form before him!

The flurry of red feathered wings shot over and created blood waves as they collided against the surface of the mirror before their flames were extinguished.

The other four Martial Grandmasters did not dare to be careless and defended with all their might.

Instantly, divine powers surged and runes appeared, shaking the world as endless light burst forth. The void was illuminated and it seemed as though the firmaments were collapsing.

That demonic technique had expended almost all of the old quasi-immortal swan's remaining life essence.

Its gaze dimmed slightly, no longer as sharp as before.

Not far away from Azure Myst Sect, an army of martial artists clad in armor appeared in the void. All of them stood upright in midair wielding long spears, looking stoic.

It was an army of Martial Masters!

A carriage was escorted in the middle of the army.

In front of the carriage stood two people, a man, and a woman.

The middle-aged man wore yellow robes and frowned deeply. Looking at the great battle above the clouds, he shook his head and sighed. "Young Mistress, as you wish, I've brought you here. You can see for yourself now that it's going to be tough for Azure Myst Sect and your mother to avoid this calamity."

The man and woman were the old man from Ugburg City and her Young Mistress, Tai Liu.

Tai Liu could not help but ask.

"Uncle, why do you refuse to lend them a hand? Why are we hiding in the back when we clearly have more than one Martial Grandmaster to back us up!"

The old man shook his head in silence.

Tai Liu continued. "Furthermore, we also just recruited that girl that came with Aiden! According to what we know, she also has some rather special powers and could even turn the tides of this war!"

Those that are in the Martial Grandmaster realm gain the title of Perfected Being while those in the Quasy-Divine realm gain the title of Godly Beings.

After a moment of silence, the emperor said softly, "Young Mistress, actually, your mother was the one who made the decision to not interfere."

"Why?!"

Tai Liu was in disbelief as she questioned. "What is she so scared of? Isn't she also a Quasy-Divine being capable of fighting everyone?"

"Hah…"

The old man gave a deep sigh. "If the Sect Master comes forth, he can naturally suppress the Demon Crow Clan's Lord. However, the thing is that this guy's background is extremely touchy. Once she comes forward, it might bring those old bastards still hiding in the shadows to step into the light…"

"So what if they come forward? Weren't they defeated by the ancient emperors of the primordial era all the same?" Tai Liu could not understand.

As though he recalled something, a hint of fear flickered through the depths of the old man's eyes as he shook his head. "The might of those mythical figures is far beyond what you can imagine!"

"If we really anger those monsters, nothing can save us, even the entire North Region would experience a catastrophe!"

"Back then, your mother's master, the old ancestor witnessed and had been through a similar catastrophe personally…"

Pausing for a moment, the emperor did not continue on that topic. "Let's hope that Aiden has already left Azure Myst Sect."
