The Last Primal



Several days had passed since the battle of the paragons at the Great Forbidden Ruins.

The news spread throughout the Northern regions and almost the entire world knew about it!

Middle Continent, somewhere deep in a valley.

In a majestic cave abode, a man and two women stood.

The man had decent features with a grim expression – this was the ex-disciple of Azure Myst Sect, Jor Heng.

Among the women, one of them wore a white, pure blouse and had extremely beautiful features. However, she exuded a faint coldness.

The other woman was extremely beautiful and her features looked like a painting. However, she was dressed like a flirtatious young man.

One of them was Leng Rou who had already joined Thousand Crane Sect and the other was Tai Liu of the Azure Myst Sect.

The three of them stood facing one another silently.

The atmosphere within the cave abode was somewhat tense.

"Hais."

A long while later, Jor Heng sighed gently and spoke, "Has the news been confirmed? Has Young Master Aiden truly jumped into the Dragon Burial Valley?"

"Yes."

Tai Liu nodded. "Many people witnessed it personally. The news can't be fake."

Leng Rou did not speak the entire time, her gaze turning colder by the moment.

Jor Heng shook his head, lamenting while sighing, "This matter has been blown out of proportion."

Tai Liu pursed her lips with a conflicted expression, gazing into the distance and murmuring, "So, you're the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island. It's no wonder…"

When news of the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island reached her on the ancient battlefield, Tai Liu had a brief moment of suspicion.

After all, Aiden had some similarities with the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island.

However, later on, she rejected her suspicion.

Their differences were way too obvious as well.

As she recalled everything that happened on the ancient battlefield, Tai Liu felt sadness.

While the two of them had not spent a long time together, she was secretly awaiting their next encounter internally.

But now, her hopes had turned into emptiness.

"Does she know about this?" Suddenly, Jor Heng asked.

"She does,"

Tai Liu replied, "She locked herself up and refused to eat or drink. It's been an entire day. Thankfully, the other girl is watching over her so she isn't in any danger."

In another cave abode.

The woman in question, Lady Pyre leaned against the wall, huddled against her knees. Her eyes were red and swollen as she sobbed softly.

The other, more mature-looking curvaceous lady, Madam Dara watched over her silently; a humane look of worry could actually be seen in his eyes.

Thereafter, as if he thought of something, the killing intent in his eyes surged!

West Region.

In a desert.

A bulky strong-scaled skink sat squarely beside a tomb, muttering to himself, "Master, why… why are you gone just like that?"

The brawny figure sat beside the tomb and bawled like a child.

…

North Region, Great Forbidden Ruins.

This day, two unexpected guests arrived at the ruins, looking fatigued.

One of them was extremely tall at more than two meters and had long hands and legs. His arms were slumped naturally and were longer than his knees.

The tall man carried a long rod and his eyes shone fiercely with a scarlet glint.

The other man was barehanded. Although he was slightly shorter, his body looked even more muscular and mighty.

Both of them had a lot of hair and although they were in humanoid form, they could not conceal the dark, demonic energy they emitted at all!

They were demons!

One of them, a younger and leaner-looking brown-haired figure entered the depths of the ruins and broke through the encirclement of the otherworldly soldiers with the long rod in his hands, charging right for the Dragon Burial Valley.

The other one, that seemed to be a descendant of some sort of white-furred tiger followed behind him and took care of the otherworldly soldiers at the back.

After more than a year, the two figures the lean man and the white tiger figure had both formed their Inner Cores.

They had not only grown in terms of martial realm, their combat strength was rather frightening too!

It was especially the case for monkey – no otherworldly soldier could withstand the touch of his rod.

A single slam and they would dissipate to dust!

Before long, monkey and the white tiger figure arrived at the edge of the Dragon Burial Valley.

Gazing down the cliff beneath him, the white tiger figure felt his head spin and could not help but gasp, retreating a few steps back instinctively.

Monkey narrowed his gaze as well.

They could sense an extremely terrifying aura and energy fluctuation coming from the Dragon Burial Valley and it was shuddering!

"Boss, we should head back first. After all, this is the territory of the those weird ones. I've got an uneasy feeling," The white tiger figure looked nervous.

After training an Inner Core, demons could speak in the common tongue as well!

He was also very befuddled over the strange events that have rocked the world recently.

However, at the end of the day, unlike the other one, he would not make the trip thousands of miles tirelessly just to take a look at the place of Aiden's death.

"Boss, there's no point standing here and looking. He's already jumped."

The white tiger figure persuaded again, "We should head back and just take over a few mountains. Our days will be so enjoyable at that time."

The brown haired man, whom vaguely resembled a monkey did not reply and merely gazed at the Dragon Burial Valley quietly. The scarlet glint in his eyes intensified and his killing intent was almost corporeal at this point!

A long time later, monkey finally turned around slowly. The scarlet glint in his eyes faded gradually as he nodded to the white tiger figure. "Let's go."

Monkey and the white tiger figure soared through the air and disappeared at the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Not long later, a gigantic tear opened up in the void above the Dragon Burial Valley without any warning, surging with chilling winds.

Two figures leaped out from within.

The old man at the front was still rather composed. However, the same could not be said for the other person as he fell out staggering with a pale expression. His legs were wobbly and he could barely stand!

The old man wore a bronze crown and long tattered robes. His cheeks were rosy and his tall beard swayed gently with the wind.

If a desk appeared and he held a wooden block with his left hand and a folding fan with his right, the old man would completely resemble a storyteller that made his way around the world!

The man that came out later on was slightly rotund with a pale expression without any beard. This man whose name  had history long forgotten was called simply Shen Ton, the man who had once entered the Dragon Burial Valley, one of the Great Forbidden Grounds, and have come back to tell the tale!

Arriving at the edge of the Dragon Burial Valley, the old man looked down in silence.

Shen Ton let out a slow breath and could not help but ask, "Old man, what's down there in the Dragon Burial Valley?"

"What do you think?"

The old man turned to look at Shen Ton, asking in reverse.

"Nothing more than a pile of corpses…"

As Shen Ton spoke, he caught sight of the strange expression on the old man's face and a thought flashed through his mind and he was frightened by that possibility!

"Old man, there can't be people alive down there, right?"

"Heh!"

The old man chuckled oddly as a silent acknowledgment.

Rubbing his chin, Shen Ton said deeply, "In that case, there's a chance that lad is still alive!"

He revealed a joyful expression and laughed. "Like I said, his fate is extremely unyielding. How can someone who can be so energetic after eating a dragon egg in the Dragon Bone Valley die so easily?"

The old man shook his head with an indifferent expression. "You're missing the main point."

"Huh?" Shen Ton was confused.

The old man continued, "The main point is that even if Aiden isn't dead, he's no different from being dead."

Shen Ton seemed to be in deep thought

However, he heard the old man continue once more, "Don't forget, his Martial Master rank was destroyed and his Inner Core was crushed. That's equivalent to a loss of his life energy! Even if he's alive, he's no different from a dead man."

Shen Ton was enlightened.

The old man was right – Aiden would no longer be the number one monster incarnate in history with his crushed Martial Master and shattered Inner Core!

What did it matter even if he was alive?

He would never get the chance to take revenge for that massive feud.

The old man lamented and sighed gently, "Back then, that lad's fate was changed after much effort from an expert. Unfortunately… he still couldn't win against fate at the end of the day!"
