The Last Primal

What happened to these peak masters, these elders of the Azure Myst Sect to leave the sect together?

Slyff Nae sighed and replied: "The Sect Master was hurt during the battle at Azure Myst Sect and he requires a special elixir to have any hope of recovering. Otherwise, there's a great chance that he's going to fail in his attempt to break through to the Martial Grandmaster realm and thus would perish as a result."

Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that the sect master was injured but he did not expect the impact to be this great!

"This Ancient… 'Elixir' is a unique, high-grade Elixir and there are a few medicinal herbs within that are too rare to be found. We couldn't find them in several marketplaces. However, some of the legends state that those spirit herbs might be able to be found within the Great Forbidden Ruins and that's why we're here,"

Slyff Nae continued, "We did not find those spirit herbs in the outer perimeter of the ruins and I didn't heed Lian's advice and ventured deep into the center of this place. Sigh, I nearly caused all of us to lose our lives here."

"Cough!"

Right then, Krisia Hall who was lying in Slyff Nae's embrace coughed a couple of times. Her mouth opened slightly as she spat out a mouthful of black blood that carried a dark malevolent energy.

Aiden turned to his side and took a glance with a calm expression.

However, Lian Juhe's gaze narrowed as he lamented, "The malevolent energy has entered her blood!"

"Krisia Hall, how are you?!"

Slyff Nae's expression changed starkly as he took out a few jade bottles hurriedly. Opening the bottles in a flustered manner, he fed all the elixirs in them to Krisia Hall.

"It's useless…"

Krisia Hall sighed gently.

After it enters the body, malevolent energy can be purged by elixirs and the immense spirit energy of one's Martial Master if it did not enter deep into the bloodline.

However, she was too severely injured!

The malevolent energy had already infiltrated her bloodline and was circulating along with it, eating into her heart.

It won't be long before her heart stopped beating.

"D-Don't…"

Slyff Nae was extremely anxious and his voice was quivering.

He could naturally sense that Krisia Hall's condition was getting worse; her body was turning colder and her heart was beating fainter!

However, he was helpless towards such a situation.

If he had the fresh blood of a pure-blooded ferocious beast that he could feed Krisia Hall, that might be able to contain the malevolent energy within her body.

However, they were in a ruin with countless otherworldly soldiers patrolling around them – there was no way for them to get out.

They were surrounded by silence. Apart from the few of them, there were no other living beings, let alone pure-blooded ferocious beasts.

Right then, Aiden suddenly came before Krisia Hall and squatted down. A wound appeared on his wrist area, clearly inflicted recently.

He extended his wrist and placed his wound beside Krisia Hall's lips.

The moment a drop of blood dripped out, her injuries started healing!

Slyff Nae's mind was in a state of chaos and he was only watching everything subconsciously.

That drop of blood shimmered with a divine, bright golden light and emanated a pure and terrifying aura.

The moment that drop of blood entered Krisia Hall's mouth, a massive surge of energy burst forth, rippling through her body like a hurricane and entering all her limbs!

The malevolent energy within Krisia Hall's body could not defend against it and was purged before long.

Her heart was pounding with sturdy strength!

Rather than a drop of blood…

It was akin to her devouring a blazing sun!

The entire process happened within a couple of breaths.

By the time Slyff Nae returned to his senses, a flush of scarlet had already returned to Krisia Hall's face and her body was gradually turning warm. Even the massive gash on her abdomen was starting to heal!

"This…?!"

Both Slyff Nae and Lian Juhe were stunned.

Although there were the myths about mythical beings and their theorized blood being of highly sought-after divine elixir, the power of blood for martial artists that specialized in spirit energy and martial arts were way too far from those.

Most martial artists did not have direct knowledge towards the power of bloodline.

But now, Lian Juhe and Slyff Nae – whose combined ages amounted to almost 500 years – finally witnessed what the power of blood was like!

Lian Juhe sized up Aiden as though he was looking at a monster, remarking internally, "A single drop of blood from him already contains such immense power. There's no wonder why his stamina is so strong."

Another while later.

Krisia Hall's condition recovered immensely and she could already manage to walk with Slyff Nae's support.

"Thank you, Y-young Mas- *khm* Thank you Aiden!"

Slyff Nae was delighted and turned to thank immensely.

Looking at the otherworldly soldiers gathering outside, Aiden frowned and said darkly, "Peak Master Krisia Hall is fine now. Let's continue inside and leave the line of sight of these otherworldly soldiers first."

Although they could not enter, the fact that all those otherworldly soldiers were gathered here was not good either.

"Alright!"

Slyff Nae supported Krisia Hall and the three of them followed behind Aiden into the depths of the forbidden grounds.

Along the way, Aiden would stop occasionally and survey their surroundings.

Judging from the signs left behind, he deduced that there was a high chance this was a woman's chamber in the past.

From the large surface area and intricate design of the structures, this woman must have had a significant position in the palace back then!

Aiden brought the three of them and maneuvered in this place, vanishing from the line of sight of the otherworldly soldiers before long.

The otherworldly soldiers outside did not have a mind of their own at the end of the day. After patrolling for a short while, they began to disperse.

Outside the palace.

More than 20 figures flew through the air, growing clearer against the hazy night.

When they arrived, it could be seen that they were all traveling without any external objects beneath their feet – all of them were Martial Masters.

The Martial Masters were dressed in the same attire and had a bright moon with many stars embroidered on their clothes. A sect badge hung from their waists etched with a moon and sun.

Their leader had the most immense aura and his black hair swayed. With a fair complexion, his eyes resembled bright stars that shimmered in the night.

"Senior Brother Mo, why did you stop?"

A Martial Master behind him asked softly with a respectful expression.

The leader curled his lips and looked in a seemingly casual manner towards a dark place nearby. Before long, he retracted his gaze as his eyes flashed with a look of mockery. "It's nothing much. Something seems to have changed in the palace."

"Are we still going to enter it?" The Martial Master behind him asked.

"Of course!"

The leader smiled. "All the otherworldly soldiers of the palace are gathered towards a single direction. Let's take a look and check out what happened."

With that said, the Martial Masters rushed towards the depths of the palace and disappeared in the night before long.

After that group of martial artists vanished, eight figures appeared from a dark place nearby, emitting sinister auras similar to ghosts in the night!

"Senior Brother Mo, there are quite a few people from Stellar Luna Sect!"

A Martial Master whispered warily.

One of the eight figures had a dark expression and was scrawnier. Faintly visible against the night, he harrumphed coldly. "What's to be feared about the Stellar Luna Sect? Shadowless Sect isn't weak either!"

"Their leader seems to be a paragon of Stellar Luna Sect, Mo Xir!"

"I heard that Mo Xir inherited the ancient phenomenon of Stellar Luna Sect, the 92nd rank of the Phenomenon Ranking, Solar Luna Stellar Lumen."

Another person frowned and remarked darkly, "Earlier on… Mo Xir seemed to have noticed us."

"It's alright."

The scrawny man said coldly, "If it comes to a death bout I am not scared of him! Let's enter the palace to check things out as well!"

The scrawny man, called Norl Fer waved and brought his seven sect mates with him into the palace.

Before long, another group of martial artists descended.

There were more than ten of them in this group, wearing scarlet robes and seemingly covered by blazing flames.

Judging from their attire and sect badges, it was obvious that they came from one of the top super sects of the Tianhuang North Region, Blaze Columbus Valley!

Although Blaze Columbus Valley was not within one of the nine immortal sects, their strength was not to be underestimated.

Their leader was a tall man with a fiery gaze. He was none other than the genius of the Blaze Columbus Valley inner sect disciples, G'ang Nan.

"Oh my! What a crowd…hehehe…"

G'ang Nan roared in laughter. "To think that martial artists of Stellar Luna Sect and Shadowless Sect would be here too. This is good, I'll see for myself how much Mo Xir and Norl Fer have grown in the past few years!"

Before his laughter ended, G'ang Nan led the way into the palace.
