The Last Primal

"[Reptilian]  You do not need to worry."

Aiden waved his hand. "All of them received their own opportunities and joined some older and more powerful sects. In fact, some of them might have already left… to some better opportunities…"

Madam Dara's Azure Myst Sect was located far away in the Middle Continent, after all.

Whilst it was barren and thought to be devoid of life, in reality, this world was boundless and vast. If a Martial Knight martial artist wanted to travel from the Northern Regions to the Middle Continent, they would have to be on the road day and night for almost a full lifetime of a mortal even without resting.

That was also without taking into account the possible dangers they might encounter along the way.

In reality, it was something that was difficult even for Martial Masters too.

Only Martial Grandmasters could protect themselves well enough to attempt to travel out from the North Region and roam everywhere.

It was likely impossible for them to meet one another in the near future after this separation.

As for the rest of the group, they were probably already worlds apart as well. It was unknown if he would still have the chance to meet them any time soon. Still, regardless of their current circumstances, the omnipresent, heaven-defying system was there to bridge this seemingly unsurmountable gap; they could utilize their mental connection anytime.

At that thought, Aiden could not help but feel slightly emotional and wistful.

"[Reptlian] Young Master, you're still worried about Blood Crow Palace taking revenge, right?"

Lady Pyre was extremely smart and after slight contemplation, she understood why everyone went their separate ways.

Aiden had killed this young man, one of the Draconic Skink's elite families descendant just now, ignoring the very likely repercussions, the wrath, and revenge of an elite family.

The feud between him and them was already irreconcilable.

While it might be a huge calamity for Aiden personally, in reality it wasn't something that the Young Master would truly bother about. He was not like them, he was not a mortal of this world, but something else! He was a Primal!

Everyone else of his assigned servants could leave to Haven if they wished to and hide away, but not him.

To turn his back and leave after creating such a mess, leaving not just them, but little Tolliah and failing the promise of saving his mother as well as the rest of the captives still being held by the High Priest, in the territory of the Ancient One's Order without any care…

That was something that Aiden's heart would not allow.

"[Reptilian] Young Master, don't worry. I will not let you down. I will go ask the city lord for his assistance!"

Worried that Aiden might not take her words for real, Lady Pyre continued. "[Reptilian] If they truly dare to do anything outrageous, the city lord will definitely not sit by idly and watch!"

"[Reptilian] It is not a problem at all, do not bother your pretty little head with it."

Aiden smiled and shook his head.

In reality, he knew and could read the situation clearer than anyone.

The attitude of the Emperor of Great Zhou towards the Blood Crow King at the sect competition had already made many things clear.

Even the City Lord was wary of the Ancient One's Order, and more importantly, he was merely a tool appointed by the High Priest himself! He was nothing but a substitute for his will!

It was almost hopeless to think that the city lord would interfere in the matter.

"[Reptilian] Pyre, prepare yourself. We'll soon leave this place! I will bring you back home!"

"[Reptilian] A-Alright."

…

With the allotted time in this ancient battlefield coming to end, many martial artists were returning to Eora, to the place where they entered. After all, whilst to Aiden this event was organized for a mere City Lord selection in a singular human city on one continent of Eora… in reality, it was a worldwide event with many participants from all over…Also, whilst it was merely a little more than a month ago… to him it felt as if an eternity have passed.

More importantly…

Some were ecstatic while some were worried.

Some martial artists even had a surreal feeling of escaping a great calamity.

They could only heal the trauma in their hearts gradually after returning to their factions' home turf in Eora!

Right after, heavy news started spreading through the super sects of the martial world, akin to gigantic boulders tossed into the middle of lakes and creating massive waves!

"[Reptilian] After a thousand years, the Sword Emperor's inheritance was obtained by a martial artist and the Metal Tree Groove has vanished completely."

"[Reptilian] Right, more than a hundred martial artists of Corpse Poison Sect were all killed by a single person and even Malefic Demons Clan and Crystal Palace Sect were implicated!"

"[Reptilian] How savage! Who is he? What sect or faction is he from?"

"[Reptilian] I've got no idea. He didn't wear a sect badge. Some say that he's a meek scholar while others say that he looks menacing."

Crystal Palace Sect and Malefic Demons Clan received the news almost instantly and their sect masters were enraged.

Both sects sent out multiple martial artists to scout out news of that martial artist's background and location.

Before the various sects managed to digest that news, an even more shocking piece of news was spread, causing a shock for the super sects and sending a wave across the entire martial world!

"[Reptilian] The Ancient One's Palace has appeared!"

"[Reptilian] The successor of Holy Fire Island appeared at the Ancient One's Palace and fought against all the top paragons of all the sects together!"

"[Reptilian] The paragons of the the world's top factions worked together? Hehe, Holy Fire Island's successor sure is unlucky. He must have died without even a corpse left. Who managed to obtain the Human Emperor's inheritance in the end?"

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "[Reptilian] That's where you're wrong! He suppressed all the paragons singlehandedly and it was an extremely tragic and shocking battle!"

"[Reptilian] What? What did you say?!"

"[Reptilian] The paragons of righteous and demonic clans, the evil fiendish sects, and even the fearsome Reverend's group are all dead! While the paragons of the other sects managed to survive and escape, some of them had their arms and roots crippled and it would be tough for them to shine in the future."

The elders of the various sects received the news at almost the same time and were in shock and disbelief.

"[Reptilian] What about the Guardian Elders?"

"[Reptilian] There were more than ten Guardian Elders together! They were all Martial Artist Powerhouses! Are they all trashes?! As Martial Grandmasters, can't any of them kill a single Martial Knight brat?"

"[Reptilian] Even when five Guardian Elders joined forces, they failed and died with regrets!"

"[Reptilian] Pfft! Even Guardian Elders failed despite working together?"

"[Reptilian] It was said that the successor of the Holy Fire Island has a divine constitution and a godlike might!"

"[Reptilian] He was severely injured together with the Holy Maiden of the Pure Maidens Sect and they entered the Ancient One's Palace at the same time. Their fates are currently unknown."

The elders went silent when they heard that.

A long time later, someone sighed deeply. "[Reptilian] It's a monster incarnate!"

"I don't think it's exaggerated to claim that he's the number one monster incarnate ever since the ancient times."

…

At the same time.

In an unknown location in the Middle Continent, an ancient-looking palace stood erected.

A rosy-cheeked old reptilian figure devoid of any scales on his body and with a white crown and long robes stood in front of the palace entrance with one hand behind his back.

His other hand was in front of him and his fingers were twitching; there was a gray fog that veiled his eyes, making him seem extremely mysterious.

"[Reptilian] Old man, have you divined anything?"

Behind the old man was a gray-robed figure who was slightly plump and had a pale, beardless face. Holding a folding fan, he asked anxiously.

A long time later, the haze disappeared from the old man's eyes as he frowned while shaking his head. "[Reptilian] It's true that the Ancient One's Palace appeared. However, I didn't manage to divine any news of that mysterious young man… strange."

"[Reptilian] Does Holy Fire Island truly have such a monster incarnate?"

The two of them exchanged glances, feeling that there was something odd about this.

Sucking his lips, the old man replied. "[Reptilian] No matter what, the appearance of the Ancient One's Palace proves that this is going to be an incredibly dangerous, but possibly golden era with countless paragons and monster incarnates created. It's very likely that we'll have a situation similar to the ancient era with multiple emperors arising."

"[Reptilian] Of course, with that, there will also be unimaginable trouble! Heh, let's just wait and see."

The old man sighed as he muttered to himself whilst gazing into the distance…

"[Reptilian]… Yet I can't see anything for us in the future… Wonder what it means…"
