The Last Primal

"Hmm?"

Sensing something, the mysterious old man looked towards Aiden.

Beside the lake, Aiden assumed a lotus position with an upright back. His eyes were closed as his black hair swayed without any wind; a terrifying aura was coming forth from deep within his body, climbing rapidly!

It was as though an ancient power was being awakened!

An extremely long living being appeared in midair, coiling several rounds around Aiden upwards. Finally, it stopped in midair and its gigantic head stared in the direction of the mysterious old man.

Dragon race!

Compared to adult dragons which can be thousands of feet long, this could only be considered as a young dragon.

Although it was only a phantom of a young dragon, the aura that it produced was shuddering, as if it could conquer all living beings!

Gradually, yellowish-golden scales appeared on the young dragon's body one after another, shimmering with a cold glint. The bone spikes on its back and its sharp claws were bared while its horns stood gloriously.

The phantom of the yellowish-golden dragon was actually turning corporeal. Even the scales, bones and claws were condensed with flesh, life-like and no different from a true dragon!

"Psst!"

The mysterious old man gasped and his expression changed. Disbelief filled his eyes as he exclaimed. "H-How is that possible?!"

The Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual was meant to conjure the phantom of a divine dragon by using the pure essence of the dragon race; the shape of a divine dragon could only be made out faintly.

That alone was heavenly-defying.

However, Aiden had conjured an actual true dragon!

Even the Ancient One who created this secret skill was unable to reach this point. How did this young Martial Knight realm martial artist manage it?

Could this young man have achieved a new comprehension of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual within a mere six months?

All of a sudden!

Aiden's eyes burst wide open with a lightning gaze.

At the same time, the coiling dragon above him opened its eyes as well. Cold and mighty, it could not be ignored!

The man and dragon opened their eyes at the same time!

The moment the dragon opened its eyes, it was as though it had awakened and possessed actual life as it surveyed its surroundings with an overwhelming might.

Given the mysterious old man's martial realm, he was composed and felt nothing much as the dragon's eyes swept past him.

However, the incredible beasts in the surroundings sprawled onto the ground motionlessly.

The fishes in the lake went silent, not daring to swim, and the birds in the skies fell one after another fearfully.

Against the dragon's might, all the living beings felt a sense that came from the depths of their souls!

The dragons were one of the strongest living beings back in the primordial era where the thousands of races reigned. It had once ruled over the world above all the thousands of races!

Although Aiden was merely a Martial Knight realm martial artist, with the protection of the dragon, he exuded a dominance that looked down on the world; it was peerless, as though he had control over all divine beings in the universe!

*Bang!*

Aiden swayed a little and the dragon coiling around him dissipated before disappearing gradually.

The immense pressure gradually vanished.

Once again, the incredible beasts went back to play and everything returned to its relative normalcy.

Heaving a sigh of relief, the mysterious old man came before Aiden and said, "Since you forcibly released the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual without your martial realm being high enough, you won't be able to sustain it for long. Once you're at the Extreme Martial Knight realm, you'll be able to release the secret skill and use it against your foes."

Aiden nodded.

He had summoned that small dragon for a couple of seconds but the Spirit Power energy, that was supposed to be much higher in terms of quality than regular Mana within his body was thoroughly expended and his spirit sea was almost dry!

Right now, he was at the peak of level eight Martial Knight realm.

The fact that he was still unable to release the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual given his immense spirit energy was proof of how terrifying that secret skill was!

The mysterious old man's gaze lingered around Aiden, sizing him continuously.

It was only until Aiden's hairs stood on end that the mysterious old man asked. "How did you manage to conjure an actual true dragon?"

Hesitating for a moment, Aiden shook his head. "I don't know either."

He had a guess in his heart but he wasn't certain.

The fact that he was able to conjure a true dragon might have a lot to do with his absorption of that dragon egg back then!

The elixir that the mysterious old man fed him was merely a Blood Flesh Elixir made from the flesh of a dragon. However, he had devoured an actual dragon hatchling a couple of years ago!

After entering his stomach, the essence and vitality of the dragon race filled every single part of his body.

Processing and training the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual caused that power within his body to awaken, causing yet another unaccounted change!

"Master truly has good judgment."

The mysterious old man did not press on and merely lamented.

A moment later, he said, "The allotted time is almost up and the lass that entered together with you has left first. It's about time for you to do so as well."

Aiden was relieved when he heard that Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva was fine. Bowing deeply to the mysterious old man, he said. "Thank you for your life saving grace and the guidance for the past half year, senior."

He had truly benefited way too much this time round.

In terms of martial ranking, he was already at the peak of the Martial Knight realm. As long as he consumed the elixir he found before and continued meditating, he would have a chance of unlocking the last, ultimate stage as well.

He would be able to cultivate to the legendary Extreme Martial Knight realm!

At that point, even without taking on his ancient dragon form, he would be able to fight against Martial Grandmasters with the might of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Manual!

The mysterious old man waved it off. "You don't have to thank me. If you're truly able to reach my master's level one day, thank him personally face to face."

"Where do you want to descend? I can send you there."

After pondering for a moment, Aiden said, "Ugburg City."

…

Upon reentering the ancient battlefield, Aiden could clearly sense that the place seemed to have gotten more and more unstable.

It meant that the original amount of time he was supposed to spend here was long since used up! He had probably missed the chance to get back through the original means.

Even his connection to Galina and his sister was faint. They were no longer in this world.

At the same time, all the events from the world have died down.

Ugburg City was a little empty and quiet without the bustle from before.

Most of the martial artists have already left and only a few remained. They traveled through the city with hurried expressions – it was clear that they were also preparing to leave.

There was already no one at the territory of Azure Myst Sect.

Aiden went straight to Madam Dara's room and caught sight of her handwriting etched on a stone table after looking around.

"Young Master! The Azure Myst Sect is actually a branch and its origin goes to another world! Because their teleportation spot is extremely far from Ugburg City, I'll have to make a move with Sister Tai Liu first. Once I reach a sufficient realm and become worthy of standing by your side, I'll return! Both of us, Lady Pyre and I are fine, don't miss us too much!"

"Regards, Dara."

The writing was scribbled a little hurriedly – it was obvious that Dara truly had no time at the end and had to leave.

Smiling to himself, Aiden reached out and gave a simple swipe.

Even though it was a casual move, an entire layer of the stone table's surface was wiped off and the words disappeared completely.

Before leaving Ugburg City, Aiden had already instructed Lady Pyre to stay by Dara's side and head to Azure Myst Sect with her.

She had to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty and was unable to stay by Dara's side. As such, the only way he would feel relieved was if Lady Pyre was with her.

Now that he knew that Dara was fine, Aiden was at ease and did not linger further in the city; he headed straight for the cave abode where the little runt, his newfound daughter and the rest of his captains were training in.

Previously, he promised her that he would return for her.

Suddenly, Aiden could not help but frown when he recalled a person from back in his stay in Ugburg.

Jun Hao!

Previously, he suspected that there was something wrong with that person but he had no proof.

Before leaving, he even reminded Ji Yaoxue to keep something up her sleeve to guard against that guy.

"I hope they are fine."

Aiden's eyes flashed with a cold glint and a massive gust of wind blew by behind him and lifted him into the air. Spiritual energy burst forth and he sped forward at full speed – his speed was already at its limits!
