The Last Primal



The remaining structures in the ancient city were almost entirely made from gigantic rocks and were filled with signs of age.

Some of them were mansions and others were comparatively cramped stone huts and rooms. There were even some huge palaces scattered around various parts of the city and the grandeur of the past could still be seen.

Of course, there were also many structures that looked relatively new in the ancient city that were built later on.

Although it was evening, there were many martial artists on the spacious streets of the ancient city and it was bustling.

Every few thousand feet, there would be Crystal Palace Sect martial artists walking on both sides of the streets.

There would even be martial artists patrolling in midair from time to time – security was tight!

"Hmm, strange,"

Kell Yue frowned slightly and remarked softly, "Something seemed to have happened for Crystal Palace Sect to send this many martial artists for the ancient battlefield this time around."

"I guess it's because Crystal Palace Sect is trying to attain a better position on the Crystal Palace Sect Phenomenon Ranking?" A Southern Duel Sect said.

"No,"

Kell Yue shook his head. "The Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking is an individual measure of strength and has nothing to do with the number of martial artists or the strength of any sect."

Riding on the Golden Lion, Aiden listened to everyone's discussions with an indifferent expression. However, a mocking look would flash through his eyes from time to time."

"Young Man, please hold on,"

Kell Yue held back a green-robed martial artist and asked with cupped fists, "Young Man, may I ask you what happened to Crystal Palace Sect? Why does it feel like they're facing a great enemy?"

The green-robed martial artist looked at Kell Yue from head to toe and asked instead, "Young Master, you're not from the North Region, right?"

"I'm from an upper sect of the South Region, Southern Duel Sect," There was a hint of pride in Kell Yue's voice.

Indeed, the green-robed martial artist greeted them with cupped fists immediately upon hearing that and said softly, "Young man, you don't know but the monster incarnate of the North Region has returned alive once more!"

"Monster incarnate? What monster incarnate?"

Kell Yue asked hurriedly.

Everyone from Southern Duel Sect closed in curiously.

The green-robed martial artist said, "There's no other monster incarnate than the one from Holy Fire Island!"

"Ah!"

A look of realization flashed through Kell Yue's eyes.

He had heard about some rumors regarding the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island as well.

Back in the elementary ancient battlefield, that monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island defeated all paragons and overwhelmed strong foes beneath the Ancient One's Palace, obtaining the Ancient One's recognition. Not only that, he had caused quite a ruckus in the world.

The green-robed martial artist continued, "I heard that the monster incarnate openly declared war on Crystal Palace Sect before entering the ancient battlefield, saying that he was going to murder all Crystal Palace Sect martial artists who entered!"

Lysabel Kela could not help but ask, "Why?"

"I heard it's because Crystal Palace Sect massacred 13 cities of mortals. That's the reason why the monster incarnate wants to kill them," The green-robed martial artist replied.

Everyone from Southern Duel Sect was stunned.

None of them could comprehend why someone would bother offending a major faction such as Crystal Palace Sect for the sake of mortals.

"How stupid!"

Kell Yue laughed coldly. "A single Martial Master wants to go against Crystal Palace Sect. He truly doesn't know his place!"

Lysabel Kela raised her brow slightly. "In my opinion, I think that this person isn't bad by nature just with the fact that he's willing to stand up for mortals."

"Isn't bad by nature?"

The green-robed martial artist sneered, "When the monster incarnate reappeared, he triggered a beast stampede and murdered millions of martial artists. There were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood and you say that he's not bad by nature?"

"Ah!"

Lysabel Kela's expression changed slightly.

Millions of martial artists… that was no small figure!

"That's not all."

The green-robed martial artist continued, "The inner core of the monster incarnate was destroyed 20 years ago. Right now, he's a true demon. Anyone that isn't of the same race is a common enemy of all martial artists in the world!"

Noticing martial artists of Crystal Palace Sect patrolling nearby, Kell Yue remarked loudly, "That's right! The reason why our generation of martial artists have trained is just so we can get rid of evil! If that b*stard dares to show himself here, I, Kell Yue of Southern Duel Sect, will be the first to strike!"

The patrolling Crystal Palace Sect martial artists merely glanced at Kell Yue indifferently before brushing past everyone.

The green-robed martial artist bid Kell Yue farewell with cupped fists as well.

The group continued forward, prepared to look for an empty house to rest.

"Young Master Aiden, you're from the North Region as well. Have you also heard of that monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island who murdered millions of martial artists?" Lysabel Kela turned and conversed with Aiden.

"I have," Aiden nodded.

Seemingly interested in the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island, Lysabel Kela asked, "Why did he have to murder so many martial artists?"

"Hmph, the reason is that he's a demon while the martial artists are human!" Kell Yue harrumphed and interrupted.

Lysabel Kela frowned and asked in confusion, "If so, why is he standing up for those mortals?"

"This…"

Kell Yue was rendered speechless.

Turning around, Lysabel Kela asked again, "It sounds like this monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island used to be a human. Do you know what's his name, Young Master Aiden?"

Aiden smiled gently and replied, "I think it was… Aiden."

Everyone from Southern Duel Sect froze.

Suddenly, the air was still.

A strange mood filled the air!

"Pfft!"

Lysabel Kela was the first to laugh and reached out, thumping Aiden on the shoulder gently with her fist and teasing, "This joke isn't funny at all!"

"What's wrong?" Aiden asked with a smile.

Lysabel Kela replied, "Haven't you heard from that guy that the core of the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island was destroyed? He has no spirit energy so how can it be you?"

When they heard that, everyone from Southern Duel Sect exchanged glances and heaved sighs of relief.

A moment earlier, everyone had truly thought that Aiden who was beside them was the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island!

However, Lysabel Kela's words set everyone's minds at ease.

The core of the monster incarnate of Holy Fire Island was destroyed while everyone had witnessed Aiden use spirit energy personally – the two of them could not be the same person.

The night darkened and the skies were dotted with stars.

Suddenly, a Crystal Palace Sect martial artist strode over quickly and stood still before Kell Yue and the others, greeting them with cupped fists. "Our sect is holding a banquet in the main hall of the city. We'd like to invite martial artists of Southern Duel Sect to participate."

"Alright!"

Kell Yue was delighted and instantly turned to look at Aiden with a proud and provocative expression.

Aiden was indifferent and merely looked up into the skies deeply. A faint smirk appeared on his lips as he murmured, "Killing on a dark and windy night…"

At the same time.

In the wilderness in a part of the ancient battlefield, a slightly rotund martial artist in gray robes walked idly.

He passed by countless ferocious beasts but none of them reacted, as though they could not see him!

Birds flew above his head, seemingly oblivious to this man as well.

The green-robed martial artist held a folding fan and the fingertips of his right hand shifted and made contact with one another rapidly, letting go after every single touch as though he was divining something.

After a while, the green-robed martial artist suddenly raised his head, sensing something.

"Hmm?"

His expression changed.

The countless stars in the heavens were shifting positions rapidly and the constellations above were completely disoriented.

"Psst!"

Gasping, the green-robed martial artist had a grim expression. "What a strong killing intent to be able to move the heavens and cause the stars to shift! Something big is about to happen!"
