The Last Primal

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

The mighty sword sailed across the air with wild momentum and did not pause at all upon colliding with his supreme-graded artifact shield, causing the latter to explode immediately!

*Poof!* *Poof!* *Poof!*

Against Aiden's sudden attack, the poor man's secret skills and protection talismans were akin to paper and were disintegrated instantly.

A flash of blood appeared and a gigantic head fell down neatly.

A level six Martial Knight martial artist was dead! Just like that!

The Demon Crow Clan faction was in utter chaos and the expressions of many martial artists changed.

How could that be?

They were both supreme-grade artifact weapons but why did the other party's single sword strike destroy the shield immediately?

Unless…

Many martial artists turned over instinctively.

*Psst!*

In mid-air, underneath Aiden's gray robes, an unprecedented power began to surge. Wild energy fluctuated and swirled around their master, protecting it from harm, wrapping around his body like invisible metal chains.

That energy gave off a unique energy… It wasn't of a Martial Knight anymore…

Yet it wasn't similar to any other realm they had ever felt… It gave off a unique never before seen dread!

Was it a hallucination? Was he really beyond anything measurable by the world's standards? Or was he just adept at masking it?

Many martial artists rubbed their eyes and looked again before gasping.

*Psst!*

Still, they felt it to be of somewhat close to peak stage Martial Knights!

Even rank eight Martial Knight martial artists would be able to barbarically suppress the entire Martial Knight battlefield, let alone a level nine Martial Knight martial artist!

As Aiden stood in midair, his inner energy, his Soul Power churned rapidly and rich spiritual energy surged through his body. He was like a god of this world with a mighty aura!

Many martial artists were aghast.

The Martial Knight martial artists were not the only ones; even the Martial Masters and Martial Grandmasters were shocked when they saw what was going on.

In the current martial world, it has been a hundred years since there was even a level eight Martial Knight martial artist.

As for level nine Martial Knight…

Ever since the ancient era, there had never been a second person to reach that realm! Usually, people wouldn't even dare attempt it and would straight up work on breaking through the major realms instead!

"H-how?! How is this possible? What is this energy?!"

A wary look flashed through Martial Master John Sharl's eyes followed by a feeling of trepidation.

It was lucky that Azure Myst Sect was on the brink of annihilation and Aiden wouldn't be able to escape death. Otherwise, if that lad were to grow further, who in the current martial world would be able to stop him?

Together with that burly man from Holy Fire Island, they are the top paragons and powerhouses of the younger generation already and now, he's even at an unexpected, stage, the legendary level nine of the Martial Knight realm. His strength was already equal to that of Martial Masters before… but now…

Once he fills up his inner core, he would definitely develop into a divine phenomenon as well!

Sect Master Lian Liu sighed internally.

Such was the cruelty of fate.

They could only blame the sect for being unlucky. If they had not met with such a calamity, talents like her daughter, Tai-Liu, Dara the newly joined disciple, and now, this gray-robed youngster, this Aiden would be able to proudly stand at the top of the world and pull their little sect along with them!

For Aiden, his accomplishments would even be more limitless.

In fact, he might even be able to lead Azure Myst Sect to become one of the top factions of the world!

Alas…

The Demon Crow Clan's Lord narrowed his eyes and his killing intent deepened.

His personal feud with this small sect aside, the fact that this lad was at such an extreme stage of the Martial Knight meant that he had to be killed!

A second coming of the Sword Emperor must not be allowed to appear on the world!

The countless supreme-grade swords that flew around the air and was controlled by Aiden suddenly streaked through the crowd and none of the Martial Knight martial artists could defend at all.

It was a complete massacre!

The massive flood formed by more than 20,000 Martial Knight martial artists was punctured and pushed back by Aiden singlehandedly!

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect was reinvigorated.

At that moment, Aiden flapped his draconic wings and rose into the air. He was actually arriving at the Martial Master battlefield a hundred feet high!

"Aiden, hurry back down!"

The disheveled old man shouted hurriedly when he saw that.

The fight between Martial Knight martial artists would only take place on the ground and no one would soar into the skies a hundred feet high.

Given the chaotic battlefield, the flying swords and mythical arts of Martial Masters carried an absolutely destructive power against Martial Knight martial artists!

To everyone, Aiden's move was complete suicide.

"Hahahaha!"

Composing himself, Sezud Nida roared into laughter. "Even if you're at such a unique stage as a Martial Knight, you're still just a little Martial Knight warrior! Everything is futile before you fill your core and you'll never ever be able to experience the power of being at Martial Master realm!"

"It's been a long time since I've experienced the feeling of murdering a talent…"

Martial Master John Sharl smiled gently and said coldly, "Aiden, thank you for granting me that feeling today!"

*Swoosh!*

Many Martial Knight martial artists and Martial Masters unleashed their attacks towards Aiden who was standing in midair.

Instantly, hundreds and thousands of artifact weapons and arts swarmed forward; the void quaked and the entire world dimmed instantly!

The Martial Masters of Azure Myst Sect were disadvantaged in numbers after all.

By this point of the battle, the core disciples and the others were thoroughly exhausted and he could not even conjure a sword formation.

Embroiled in battle with hundreds of Martial Masters the others could not pull themselves out to assist Aiden at all.

Furthermore, even if they could, all of them would most likely die against such intense and terrifying attacks!

All of a sudden!

Aiden's black hair swayed without any wind and his eyes shone with a deep glint. Suddenly, a shuddering aura burst forth from within his body!

It was an ancient and vicissitude aura that was awakened.

When the artifact weapons and arts arrived in Aiden's vicinity, they slowed down as though they had entered a murky swamp until finally, they could not advance at all!

Stopped! All of them stopped! Just like that!

The flurry of artifact weapons that shone resplendently as well as the shimmering spirit arts hovered in midair motionlessly.

"Hmm?"

Many martial artists were shocked.

How could that be?

The next moment, an even more shocking scene appeared that caused chills to run down everyone's hearts!

An extremely long illusory figure of a living creature appeared around Aiden, hovering in midair. Gradually, it materialized as flesh started forming!

The living being was filled with golden scales that shimmered coldly. One after another, sharp spikes protruded from its back and its fangs and claws were extremely sharp while its horns stood proudly.

Its eyes were extremely cold and domineering!

"W-W-What's going on?"

"I-Is that a T-True Dragon?!"

Against the gaze of an Ancient Dragon, everyone felt like they were as insignificant as ants!

The Martial Knight martial artists on the ground broke out in a sweat and suffocated. Unable to withstand that sort of might, they shuddered and almost knelt on the ground to kowtow.

Even the Martial Masters in midair were stricken and frightfully pale.

"What is that?!"

The six Martial Grandmasters above the clouds were shocked.

The Ancient Dragonification Manual was a secret skill unknown to the world after all.

Ever since the ancient era, Aiden was the second person to learn and train it successfully and by now, almost no one recognized that secret skill.

Even the gaze of Demon Crow Clan's Lord was a little lost.

That Ancient Dragon looked familiar but it was much smaller, like a young dragon.

Even so, the Clan Master felt a sense of trepidation as he recalled that terrifying encounter back in the primordial ruins and a hint of fear flashed past his eyes.

*Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!*

A series of ear-piercing shrieks rang.

Against the immense pressure, cracks started appearing on the countless artifact weapons that were initially hovering in midair. Suddenly, they shattered, scattering onto the ground like scrap metal!

Only superior and supreme-grade artifact weapons were able to remain intact!

Countless spirit arts dissipated as well.

The crowd was in an uproar.

How terrifying did his power have to be, such that artifact weapons couldn't endure it and shattered on the spot?!

The Ancient Dragon was life-like with intact flesh and coiled around Aiden's body, spiraling upwards like a variant beast that was guarding him.

As Aiden surveyed his surroundings, the gaze of the Ancient Dragon above him shifted as well; the man and dragon moved in tandem!

Nobody dared to meet with their gazes at all!

Aiden's golden eyes were like lightning and he suddenly took a deep breath, puffing his chest.

The Ancient Dragon coiling around him following his actions and took a deep breath as well and its body expanded extensively. Raising its chest, a tremendous air current surged and formed a series of cyclones in midair.

There was a slight pause.

Both of them opened their mouths and let out a deafening roar that could break metal and rocks!

"Roar!"

Aiden was also letting off a dragon roar!

In that instant, the entire world shook and the weather changed!

*Poof!* *Poof!* *Poof!*

The Martial Knight martial artists closest to Aiden were unable to defend and their bodies ruptured, turning into blood mists without corpses!

He was roared to death!

The Martial Knight martial artists that were slightly further also bled from all seven orifices. Their gazes dimmed and they collapsed on the ground, dead.
