The Last Primal

Quivering, the purple sword was almost sent flying. Aiden's figure trembled but he maneuvered himself gently with his movement technique and descended on the ground.

With the breathing room, Hart You managed to escape and he was drenched in sweat as he panted slightly. Standing beside Seehto'ch Ku'gar, they formed a triangular arc to stand-off against Aiden.

"This fight is between Holy Fire Island and Sword Sect. As one of the nine immortal sects, Purple Firmament Sect isn't going to respect the laws of the pugilistic world and intends to bully with numbers?"

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva was originally recovering from her injuries on the sidelines. However, she could not help but frown when she saw this and questioned loudly.

"Right now, we're fighting for the Ancient One's Palace. There are no laws of the pugilistic world to speak of!"

Seehto'ch Ku'gar was expressionless as he beckoned to retrieve the purple sword in midair. "Since the successor of Holy Fire Island dares to step foot into this contest, he should be prepared to receive a challenge from the successors of all the major sects!"

"Cut the crap. Since you want to fight, I'll include you as well!"

Laughing loudly, Aiden raised his sword and strode forward. Instantly, his sword beam expanded and engulfed Seehto'ch Ku'gar and Hart You completely!

He was taking the initiative even in a one against two situation!

The paragons felt their hearts skip a beat!

"Such guts! Such boundless arrogance!"

Overlord Sect's Shadow Raven's eyes shone brightly as he said in a slow manner.

"He has the guts, but we don't know whether he can survive this…" Shaori An of Cloud Rain Sect sneered.

Zenith Sect's Bair Yohren had a grim expression as he kept his gaze on Aiden the entire time in deep thought.

On the battlefield, the sound of tsunami coming forth from Aiden's body rumbled louder and louder, as though thunder was crackling from within. His power of bloodline was shocking and his stamina was enduring.

Even after battling for more than ten rounds, Aiden was able to get an advantage in a one versus two situation, suppressing Seehto'ch Ku'gar and Hart You completely!

The two of them were looking grimmer by the moment.

"Fellow Daoists, do not worry! Here I come!"

Reverend Jor Har who was initially standing by the sidelines watching, saw that the situation was not going too well. Wielding his Golden Bell in his left hand and his Diamond Staff in his right, he hollered and joined the battlefield fiercely!

The three of them could practically be considered the three strongest paragons among the immortal and Buddhist sects!

The three great paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects were ganging up on a single person!

If word of this spread to the cultivation world, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"Hah!"

Aiden took a deep breath of air and his chest puffed massively. Letting out a long roar, his internal power expanded and he slashed thrice in succession almost at the same time!

Each slash carried forth a shuddering power shockwave.

*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*

The first slash struck the Startling Sword, forcing Hart You back.

The second slash struck the purple sword. The purple qi surrounding Seehto'ch Ku'gar was linked to it and as such, it shook violently and most of it dissipated.

The third and final slash struck the Diamond Staff, causing Reverend Jor Har to grunt dully. His expression changed starkly as he staggered in retreat repeatedly!

Aiden was fearless against the combined attacks of the three great paragons. Instead, the power he emitted was even more terrifying and his aura was fiercer, as though it could suppress everything!

The three of them were not the only ones shocked; even all the paragons watching were stunned.

How did Holy Fire Island create someone like that?

If he was already in possession of such tremendous strength at a late stage of the Martial Knight realm, who could stop him if they were all at the same peak stage?

There was no wonder why Holy Fire Island dared to allow this man into the ancient battlefield. A successor as such was already showing signs of being unstoppable. If nothing went wrong, there was an extremely high chance that he would definitely receive the title of emperor in the future!

Before many paragons could finish that thought, Aiden's next statement caused a huge stir in everyone's hearts!

After forcing the three great paragons back with three consecutive slashes, his aura was torrential and he swept his gaze across the paragons like lightning.

Everyone who was here at the Ancient One's Palace was all the elites of the super sects and had great pride and ego. Even though Aiden was extremely strong and had ferocious methods, none of them would want to admit defeat against him before they fought with him.

All the paragons were raring to give it a shot.

"Well, well, well!"

Nodding his head, Aiden's bloodline surged. His bones and tendons rang together as he declared loudly.

"Let's save the trouble! All of you still waiting! You can come at me together. I'll deal with all of you at the same time!"

'Deal with all of you at the same time… deal with all of you at the same time…'

Aiden's voice was like a gigantic bell that rang through the universe, reverberating in everyone's minds for the longest time!

The moment he said that everyone present was shocked!

What did that imply?

It meant that he wanted to face all the paragons of the righteous sects singlehandedly!

His pride and guts were extremely rare across history and were comparable to that of an emperor's!

Overlord Sect's Shadow Raven said slowly. "He is not a successor of the Holy Fire Island for nothing… He is incredibly arrogant!"

Even Shadow Raven could not help but acknowledge his inferiority at that moment.

No matter the outcome of this battle, he wouldn't have dared to make that bold statement personally.

He was not the only one. All of the paragons, Hart You and Seehto'ch Ku'gar included, would not dare make a claim as such!

It was complete arrogance that looked down on the righteous factions!

"Steel is easily snapped if it's too rigid. Does this guy really think of himself as an emperor?"

Cloud Rain Sect's Shaori An sneered. "Don't forget that you're just a mere Martial Knight! I don't believe that Void Blade will be able to suppress all the paragons of the righteous sects singlehandedly!"

"That's right."

The young heir of Illusion Fiend Cult nodded in agreement. "Hart You and the others definitely have trump cards up their sleeves still. If they fight till the end and piss off all the paragons, causing them to fight with all their might, that man is bound to die!"

…

Back on the battlefield.

Snowdrift Valley's Sieanna Caliphe was the first to step forward as she declared coldly with a frosty expression. "Since you looked down on Snowdrift Valley's secret skill earlier on, I'll come and take you on!"

"If that's the case the successor of the Chaos Essence Sect, Xioran Lily wants to have a taste of Holy Fire Island's ultimate moves as well!"

Another paragon stood forth together with Hart You and the others.

Right after, another paragon leaped forward onto the battlefield, saying in a low voice, "I'm from Chaotic Thunder Sect…"

"Stop talking already. I do not care who you are, and why you want to feed my blade with your blood. Just step up silently."

Aiden raised his hand and interrupted impatiently before continuing indifferently, "If you want to fight, fight. I'm not interested in knowing more."

"You… "

Chaotic Thunder Sect's successor's face was black after being cut as he grit his teeth angrily.

In the blink of an eye, Hart You's group of three, Snowdrift Valley's Sieanna Caliphe, Chaos Essence Sect's Xioran Lily, Chaotic Thunder Sect's successor, as well as the remaining Reverends arrived on the battlefield.

The nine paragons looked unfriendly as they moved slowly, surrounding Aiden in the middle!

Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva was instantly panicked when she saw that. Looking at the fiend heirs around her, she asked with a frown, "Are you guys just going to stand by and watch? If Void Blade loses, the successors of the righteous sects are going to turn their attention to us and we of the fiend sects are still going to be disadvantaged!"

"Hahaha, he asked for this!"

Cloud Rain Sect's Shaori An laughed. "Furthermore, who knows? Perhaps this fellow champion of the Holy Fire Island might be able to take down all nine paragons single-handedly, gaining fame after this single battle!"

Shadow Raven and the others were calm. Clearly, they had no intention of stepping in.

There was naturally no way they would make a move before determining if the situation was in their favor.

Zenith Sect's Bair Yohren had a sinister expression. Suddenly, he said in an ambiguous manner, "If I step in, there's no guarantee whose side I'll be on!"

Because the battle had already started, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva did not pay attention to the deeper meaning behind Bair Yohren's words.

"Since there's so much hype, count me in!"

Chuckling lightly with a faked composure, Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva chose to join the battlefield.

Given her strength, the most she could do was hold off a single paragon to take some of the pressure off Aiden's shoulders.
