The Last Primal

At Quasi Divine realm, one's Essence Soul would resemble the physical body of the martial artist. Flawless without impurities, they do not fear the scorching sun, heavy rains, or misfortunes. They would truly be able to break out of the restraints of one's body and roam the world, traveling everywhere!

At that point of the Essence Soul's cultivation, it would be akin to a second, non-physical body outside of the martial artist.

There was another saying in the cultivation world of one's spirit leaving them and taking form.

By leaving them, it referred to the Essence Souls exiting their bodies and taking form referred to the corporeal bodies outside of their physical self.

In the ancient era, the Quasi Divine realm was also known as the Corporeal Spirit realm.

For Quasi Divine realm beings, even if their bodies were destroyed, if they reacted fast enough and sent their Essence Souls out of their bodies, they would be able to survive!

Although their bodies were destroyed, the presence of their Essence Soul was equivalent to their survival.

The black-robed man killed a Quasi Divine with a single thought and the latter vanished on the spot without a chance to let his Essence Soul escape.

That single move caused the hearts of Blood Crow Palace's Lord and the other three to skip a beat! They were inevitably feeling fearful!

Turning slightly to the side, the black-robed man looked at the utterly wretched and wounded old divine swan who was swaying unsteadily nearby. He swiped his hand on his storage bag.

Instantly, an elixir bottle around the size of his thumb appeared and there were a few patterns on its surface, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

"That is…" An old man narrowed his eyes with an alarmed expression.

"It's the Vitality Reprisal Elixir!"

Blood Crow Palace's Lord said it word by word.

The moment those words were uttered, although the others did not have much of a reaction, all the Martial Grandmasters and Quasi Divines present were shaken.

The old man Liu Ghu'an glared at the elixir in the hands of the black-robed man with an extremely scorching gaze, wanting nothing more than to devour the latter's hand right now!

A Grade 5 Elixir, the Vitality Reprisal Elixir was created by the famed Elixir Emperor of the ancient era and it illustrated the meaning of lucidity for one's final moments.

No matter how badly injured a Quasi Divine being was, as long as they weren't dead and consumed a Vitality Reprisal Elixir, they would definitely instantly invoke a tremendous amount of vitality and their injuries would be completely healed.

The Vitality Reprisal Elixir had long been lost on the martial world.

It was akin to a second life of a martial artist!

The black-robed man sent the Vitality Reprisal Elixir before the old divine swan through a single thought.

The old man, Liu Ghu'an, and the others were green with envy.

A precious elixir as such was given out just like that!

The few of them revealed jealous expressions and their eyes shone with vicious glints; they even had thoughts of snatching it over for themselves!

The old divine swan had a conflicted expression and did not take it over immediately.

Blood Crow Palace's Lord sneered. "That old beast is at the end of her lifespan and is on the brink of death. She won't be able to live for much longer even if her injuries are fully recovered!"

While the Vitality Reprisal Elixir could heal one's injuries almost immediately, it could not add on to one's lifespan.

It was also the same reason why the old divine swan did not take the elixir immediately.

The Vitality Reprisal Elixir was way too precious and it was a waste for her to use it.

"I won't take back anything I give out."

The black-robed man said indifferently, "You don't have to have any considerations as well. With this, you have a second chance at life. With this, I  have done what I have promised."

"But…"

The old divine swan sighed gently. "The Vitality Reprisal Elixir is too precious and rare. As a Quasi Divine being, you need it as well."

"Do not worry, little one. I don't need it, because… not one of these ants can injure me!"

The black-robed man's tone was calm without any fluctuations, as though he was talking about something that was only logical.

Instantly, the entire place went silent.

Almost everyone was stunned by the casual majesty revealed by the black-robed man through his words.

Looking at the old divine swan, the black-robed man continued. "You still have a sliver of hope."

The old divine swan understood what the black-robed man meant.

Her sliver of hope was to recover her wounds by consuming the Vitality Reprisal Elixir and make use of this great battle to advance in her cultivation realm!

As long as she made a single step of advancement, her lifespan would increase exponentially and she would be averted from the imminent crisis of her expiring lifespan.

As for Azure Myst Sect, it would be blessed with the rise of a Quasi Divine realm pure-blooded ferocious bird!

Little crane cried softly with a concerned expression, urging repeatedly.

Sect Master Ling Yun, Aiden, and everyone else looked at the old divine swan, hoping that she could make use of this opportunity to gain rebirth through nirvana!

The old divine swan took a deep breath before nodding and reaching out for the Vitality Reprisal Elixir, swallowing it.

The moment it entered her mouth, a tremendous amount of vitality burst forth like a tornado, surging through all her limbs to every single part of her body!

The wounds on the old divine swan were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Aiden and the others were elated when they saw that.

If the old divine swan could advance a step further, it would be a blessing in disguise!

Although Azure Myst Sect suffered great losses due to this calamity, if the sect had a Quasi Divine pure-blooded ferocious bird as its support, it would definitely be the strongest among the five major sects and it would only be a matter of time before its rise!

The black-robed man shifted his gaze towards Blood Crow Palace's Lord and the others.

"Ah! I know who you are!"

The Palace Lord harrumphed coldly. "There aren't many martial artists at the Quasi Divine realm with strength like yours. You should be the head disciple of the famous Asura Sect, this generation's chosen Asura!"

The black-robed man was expressionless.

"To think that the Asura notorious for killing would have crossed through the North Region to be a busybody here, hahaha!" The Palace Lord sneered.

The black-robed man was still silent and his expression did not change.

The Palace Lord gripped his fists and repressed the killing intent in his heart, saying darkly, "Asura, since you insist on interfering with this matter, I can take a step back. However, that person must leave with me!"

He pointed towards Aiden who was beneath Azure Myst Sect.

Instantly, everyone from Azure Myst Sect felt their hearts sink in despair.

It was already unexpected that the black-robed man was able to protect Azure Myst Sect. However, he had no relationship with Aiden, so how could he possibly offend someone of the witch race just for the sake of a Martial Knight martial artist?

The black-robed man shifted his gaze towards Aiden.

For some unknown reason, Aiden felt a mysterious feeling inside his heart.

The gaze of the black-robed man was as though he was looking at his successor of the younger generation and was extremely odd.

After pausing for a moment, the black-robed man finally spoke with a single word.

"No!"

Everyone was shocked.

Nobody expected that he would choose to offend someone of the witch race just for a Martial Knight martial artist!

Furthermore, he was so decisive in his rejection!

"Asura, you should know of my background. Let's each take a step back,"

The Palace Lord said with a dark gaze, "All I want to do is take away that Martial Knight lad. That has nothing to do with you. If you continue pushing your luck…"

Before the Palace Lord could finish, the black-robed man let out an impatient expression and interrupted. "I want to push my luck. What can you do about it?"

Everyone was in an uproar!

He was way too savage!

He did not leave the other party a single way out at all!

"His reputation truly precedes him. It's no wonder why he was invincible across the Martial Knight and Martial Master realms on the surface world back then. He's truly way too savage!" Someone lamented.

The disheveled old man sighed. "He is fearless even when the Great Zhou royalty does not dare to interfere. He's truly incredible."

"It's just a pity that he has turned into such an evil fiend, otherwise…" He did not continue but his meaning was clear.

At this point of his journey, Aiden was no longer as resistant and negative towards the fiend sects.

Now that Azure Myst Sect was in trouble, those mighty, so-called 'righteous' sects chose to take advantage of the opportunity and kick it while it was down and out. How were their actions different from the 'fiends'?

The black-robed man was someone of Asura Sect, a fiend sect. Yet, upon knowing that Azure Myst Sect was in danger, he rushed over here from thousands of miles away across the entire world!

Who were the true gods and who were the true fiends?
