The Last Primal

A steep mountain stood at an unknown, far away deserted edge of the world.

Halfway on the mountain, a humanoid figure stood in front of the cave abode with his hands behind his back. He was handsome and had a noble aura, but his expression was grim and his eyes flashed with coldness occasionally.

He was Azure Myst Sect's Jun Hao, a well known figure that Aiden had the misfortune to get to know in his almost month long tenure in this world and its surviving residents.

Jun Hao was the young heir, a bonafide prince of the supposed 'royal bloodline' of the Draconic Skink's Ancient Dynasty.

The only reason Aiden had known about him was that at some point when his captains have left to tend to their respective tasks when they arrived to Inner Ugburg, this young, arrogant figure took a liking to the fiery, hot tempered Lady Pyre and was relentlessly courting her.

Though he did lusted after her, the main reason for his relentless courtship was her unique source of power that was rumored to be of another ancient bloodline!

Jun Hao had the thought that if the two of them could develop further, he could make use of the opportunity and her identity to understand the background of the ancient dynasties!

However, it was a pity that Lady Pyre maintained a neutral attitude towards him all the while, similar to how she would treat all the other senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Although Jun Hao was a little frustrated, he was extremely scheming and was in no hurry.

The path towards immortality and divinity was long and there were many chances for them to interact since they were in the same sect.

However, it was a pity that a monstrous martial artist appeared recently and shook the world with his impossible feats, giving him a sense of threat!

When Lady Pyre wore that long pale yellow dress and circled around that man, smiling with a bedazzling wink, that scene stabbed Jun Hao's heart like a thorn!

Even from such a distance, his bedazzling eyes saw everything!

"[Reptilian] This man!"

He gripped his fists slowly and narrowed his gaze.

Lady Pyre's attitude towards that man was clearly different from others; even the way she looked at him was enough to make Jun Hao jealous!

After entering the ancient battlefield, his plans were further destroyed when Aiden unleashed terrifying methods and suppressed all enemies domineeringly.

Almost all the martial artists that entered the competition back in the Ancient Burial Grounds were killed!

The scariest thing was that Aiden had already begun suspecting him!

In that period of time, Jun Hao lived his days on thin ice, hiding carefully, afraid to let out a single mistake.

During normal times, that man looked like a scholar with a friendly appearance and calm gaze.

However, Jun Hao knew in his heart that this was a man who was decisive to kill!

As long as he revealed a single mistake, that man would definitely kill him without giving him a chance to explain!

Finally, that day, Aiden left.

It was only then that Jun Hao heaved a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.

However, it did not take long for him to be frustrated once more. In fact, he was even seething with hatred!

There were five stone chambers in the cave abode.

Before leaving, Aiden had actually set up a formation outside the fifth stone chamber!

Ever since that day, Lady Pyre had not stepped out from that stone chamber at all!

No matter how Jun Hao tried to invite her, she would always have excuses to push him away.

At the same time, she did not allow anyone in, instead chosing to stay alone all the time.

"[Reptilian] Pyre… Pyre, Pyre, have you started suspecting me as well?"

Jun Hao's gaze flickered. Slowly his expression turned cold as he murmured. "[Reptilian] Since that's the case, don't blame me for falling out with you!"

He withdrew a white crane from his storage bag and wrote a few words on it. After injecting a sliver of his energy to it, it spread its wings and flew, disappearing into the void instantly.

Turning around, Jun Hao entered the cave abode and walked towards the fifth stone chamber.

He did not walk far when Shin Tao of Rainbow Clouds Sect approached him.

The latter greeted with a smile. "[Reptilian] Brother Jun Hao, the time is almost up. When are we leaving?"

After consuming one of the rewards from the Ancient Burial Grounds, the Realm Enhancement Elixir, Shin Tao cultivated to the six's level of the Martial Knight realm, just a bit shy from being considered a late stage Martial Knight warrior.

Jun Hao was a full level above him, just being considered a late stage Martial Knight realm warrior right now.

With a fake smile, Jun Hao replied. "[Reptilian] I'm about to look for Miss Pyre to discuss this. Come along."

"[Reptilian] Alright."

Shin Tao agreed readily without suspicion.

After passing the long tunnel, they arrived before the fifth stone chamber where the remaining two guards stood on each side.

Both of them were also at the peak of sixth level of the Martial Knight realm.

Most of the martial artists at the center of the ancient battlefield were at level seven or in other words, late stage Martial Knight realm warriors and the paragons of super sects were even at level eight that was still considered as the late stage of the Martial Knight realm. Only when reaching level nine would one be at the peak of the realm and start focusing on breaking through. Level ten, was only a theoretical stage that none of the Martial Knight realm martial artists ever reached.

However, in reality, most of the martial artists in the ancient battlefield were only at level six Martial Knight realm.

"[Reptilian] Greetings, fellow warriors."

The two guards greeted with cupped fists.

Since there were only five of them here, all of them were long familiar with one another.

Jun Hao's gaze was fixated on the stone door as he said loudly with a smile. "[Reptilian] Junior Sister, the time is almost up. Let's move today and return to the teleportation spot."

A moment later, an unhurried voice sounded from within the stone chamber.

"[Reptilian] Master Jun, there's no need to hurry. My Young Mas-, khm, my friend have promised me that he will return. There's no difference waiting for a couple more days!"

Jun Hao's expression froze when he heard that. Lowering his head slightly, his gaze was ghastly and his face was frighteningly dark!

"[Reptilian] Wait for him?"

Shin Tao sneered. "[Reptilian] That person didn't know what's good for him and ventured deep into that battlefield. Since there's been no news of him for so long, he's definitely dead!"

Lady Pyre replied indifferently. "I believe that he won't die and will definitely return. You can trust me on this."

"Heh…"

Shin Tao stifled a chuckle and shook his head.

He was absolutely sure that gray robed bastard, that 'Aiden' was dead after venturing into the depths of the ancient battlefield!

Jun Hao took a deep breath of air. By the time he looked up, he had a smile once more. "[Reptilian] Junior Sister, there's only ten odd days left. If that man wanted to return, he would have done so long ago."

"[Reptilian] We only need two days to reach the teleportation spot from here. We can still make it even if we move a couple of days later," Lady Pyre replied firmly.

"[Reptilian] Brother Jun Hao, since she won't leave, let's leave!"

Shin Tao sneered once more. "[Reptilian] We can definitely return to the teleportation spot safely given our current martial realms."

The smile on Jun Hao's face had vanished as he said slowly with a cold expression. "[Reptilian] Pyre, I've already given you your last chance. Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me for not showing mercy to you anymore."

The moment he said that, the atmosphere turned strange.

The two guards frowned and looked at Jun Hao in confusion.

Shin Tao was stumped as well.

Things were fine earlier on – why did he suddenly have a change in attitude?

What did it mean by last chance and not showing mercy?

With a cold gaze, Jun Hao glared at the stone door, as though he could see the woman inside, and said word by word. "[Reptilian] Pyre, you'll be leaving today whether you want to or not. The choice isn't yours!"

"Jun Hao, what do you mean by that!"

Sensing Jun Hao's hostility, one of the guards hollered warily.

Inside the stone chamber, Lady Pyre sighed. "[Reptilian] You still couldn't hide it after all."

"[Reptilian] Since you've already begun to suspect me, there's no need for me to pretend any longer."

Jun Hao admitted readily.

"[Reptilian] I was initially skeptical when Dara reminded me at the start."

Lady Pyre shook her head. "[Reptilian] However, you've been too anxious for the past month, trying to find excuses to either enter or to get me out. At that time, I knew that Dara's guess was right."

"[Reptilian] Indeed, that ugly b*tch and that hooded master of yours was the one who spoiled my plans!"

Jun Hao cursed and pointed at the stone chamber, sneering. "[Reptilian] Pyre, do you think that a few layers of formations laid down by a dead man would be able to protect you?"

"[Reptilian] Hehe, be my guest to try! Even a level eight Martial Knight realm martial artist would have to take a few days to dispel this formation."

Lady Pyre replied. "[Reptilian] However, it's a pity that you're merely at the seventh level of the Martial Knight realm. Given your strength, there's no way you'll be able to dispel this formation. Jun Hao, give it up. Even if it's not something that Master have left behind, you won't be able to deal with it either!"

Jun Hao was furious upon hearing Yaoxue's words and lost control of his emotions. He snarled as an ugly expression showed on his face and green veins popped from his neck, "[Reptilian] You b*tch! Once I break through this stone chamber, I'll let you enjoy for a long time beneath my crotch!"

A series of dull, heavy footsteps sounded, approaching from afar in the tunnel.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The entire cave abode was shaking as dust fell endlessly. Instantly, an aura of death gushed over with a suffocating stench!
