The Last Primal



(AN: I slept in and failed to push publish in time. Sorry.)

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Aiden staggered three steps in retreat and the light in his right eye dissipated.

Eventually, he was at the losing end of this visual technique fight.

Even so, he was not injured. When a cold wave penetrated his right eye, it was diffused by the Illumination Stone right away.

Aiden was rather calm.

However, the purple-robed martial artist was shocked!

He did not know what visual technique this monk had trained such that it could go against his Eclipse Eye!

He had trained Eclipse Eye for more than a hundred years!

Yet, how old was this gray-robed monk before him?

He looked to be younger than 40.

Even if this person had trained the visual technique when he was in his mother's womb, it would only be less than 50 years at most.

However, with the 40 years old visual technique, the other party merely stumbled back three steps after a head-on collision with his Eclipse Eye that he had trained for more than a hundred years!

There was something even more bizarre.

He could not sense any spirit energy within the gray-robed monk's body!

What was the background of that gray-robed monk?

The gleam in the purple-robed martial artist's eyes intensified with a joy that resembled the way a predator watched its prey.

In a flash, the purple-robed martial artist had already arrived before Aiden.

It was too fast!

His speed burst had already surpassed the limits of Aiden's visual capabilities!

How strong!

With no time to think, Aiden took a deep breath of air and chanted a prayer.

"Om!"

The void trembled and the sound reverberated through the world!

The purple-robed martial artist's figure paused for a moment as his ears twitched and closed in towards his face creepily!

It was equivalent to muting the outside world.

He had decreased the impact of the Daring Mantra to its lowest!

Upon noticing that, Aiden squinted with a grim expression.

This purple-robed martial artist was much scarier than he had imagined!

Even though it was just a simple act, Aiden knew clearly in his heart that it was extremely difficult to do it!

It was a sign that he had complete mastery over every single fiber of muscle on his body!

Splash!

The purple-robed martial artist's bloodline surged with the sound of a tsunami.

Demonic energy!

This purple-robed martial artist had also trained in the realm of demonic energy!

At that moment, Aiden turned calm instead.

When he saw that the purple-robed martial artist could shut his ears at will, he had already guessed that this man may have trained in the demonic energy realm.

The purple-robed martial artist had a domineering aura and swung his arms like a steel whip, crushing down onto Aiden's head viciously!

An evil gust of wind howled!

A tragic aura shrouded the air!

Splash!

Aiden's body echoed with the same sound of a raging tide.

In the eyes of Morwyn Blackstone and the little fox, the fight between these two was like a collision between two oceans where each threatened to devour the other!

Their bloodlines were way too terrifying!

Aiden's body bent over and one of his knees seemed to buckle as he propped up both hands; it looked like he was bowing down in submission to the purple-robed martial artist and delivering an immortal fruit.

Compared to the descent of the purple-robed martial artist's steel whip, Aiden's stance looked ordinary without any aura.

However, the purple-robed martial artist's expression changed starkly – he had sensed an immense killing intent!

Bang!

His right arm collided against Aiden's palms.

The collision of their flesh did not have any shockwave. Instead, it was dull and solid.

Prior to this, any martial artist that met with this attack would be severely injured with their bones and tendons snapped even if they did not die!

But now, not only has the purple-robed martial artist failed to suppress Aiden with that slam, he even felt his arm being repelled with a massive opening revealed at his chest area!

For most martial artists, that was an almost instantaneous opening that was difficult for them to capitalize on.

However, the purple-robed martial artist's opponent was Aiden!

With a killing move from the Ancient Primordial Dragon Technique, he flung away the purple-robed martial artist's arm. Aiden's motion did not stop at all and that initially bent over body of his, spread open all of a sudden!

Crackle!

His tendons moved and his bones shook.

Boom!

His foot stomped heavily on the ground, causing the earth to quake!

With the repulsion force, Aiden reached out with a pair of defined arms with muscles that were knotted together with a metallic luster. His fingers opened up and he reached out for the purple-robed martial artist's shoulders!

At the same time, Aiden buckled his knees and thrust!

His entire body was like a divine steed that was galloping over with a ferocious momentum!

After Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering, he made use of the rebound strength of his body as well as the flexibility of his tendons to release Plow Heaven Stride and shift the momentum to his side to follow up with Divine Steed Dismemberment!

The entire process was fluid as water without any sluggishness.

Instantly, an extremely tragic aura was released with that charge.

Even if a pure-blooded ferocious beast stood in his way, Aiden would be able to ram it into pieces!

Divine Steed Dismemberment was the most brutal stance of the Ancient Primordial Dragon Technique.

Apart from that ram, Aiden's arms were also executing another killing move. If he managed to lock onto the purple-robed martial artist's shoulders, they would be ripped off immediately!

Initially, the purple-robed martial artist had the advantage.

However, after Aiden's Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering was defended, he revealed an opening that caused the tables to turn!

The purple-robed martial artist's expression changed slightly at the sight of Aiden charging over. He gripped his fists and the joint of his middle finger protruded slightly as he thrust towards Aiden's palms.

At the same time, the purple-robed martial artist leaned back and raised his feet to defend against Aiden's knee.

Piak! Piak!

Their fists and palms met and they shuddered.

Bang!

Immediately after, Aiden's knee rammed against the purple-robed martial artist's foot viciously.

The purple-robed martial artist fell backwards with the momentum with a light motion as though he was floating, gliding slowly to the back.

The toughness of Divine Steed Dismemberment was countered by the purple-robed martial artist's gentleness!

Up till this point of his training, Aiden had been in countless battles.

However, he had never encountered anyone who could match him in melee combat.

The purple-robed martial artist before him was the first!

The purple-robed martial artist floated in midair and after a slight pause, he lunged forward once more with a killing intent in his eyes.

Boom!

The purple-robed martial artist threw a punch.

A resounding bang echoed in the air!

The purple-robed martial artist's black hair spread apart and his eyes shone brightly, as though he was about to fuse with the environment – that punch possessed the force of the universe and was invincible!

Splash!

Aiden did not avoid or retreat and allowed his bloodline to rumble within his body – his momentum had already climbed to its peak!

Melee combat was the most dangerous.

A single mistake could lead to death on the spot!

Even against that seemingly invincible punch of the purple-robed martial artist, Aiden did not choose to retreat and the fierceness in his eyes flashed with a soaring battle intent.

"Ha!"

Aiden started with a roar and strode forward against the tremendous pressure. As he swung his arm, the green veins on it pulsated and his fist expanded to twice its size!

His fist was like a gigantic green-black seal that was descending from the skies!action

Both their gazes were resolute and unshakable!

Boom!

Their fists collided against one another!

The entire void went still!

Morwyn Blackstone and the little fox heard a jarring sound in their ears.

Both men had fractures in their fists!

Both parties suffered losses!

The purple-robed martial artist narrowed his eyes with the flames of rage burning in them.

In all these years, there had never been another martial artist of the same realm who could injure him!

He hadn't expected himself to get injured in this dilapidated and unassuming old temple!

Aiden was expressionless.

He had not expected to suppress the purple-robed martial artist with that punch to begin with.

After the punch, Aiden's palm went soft as though it had no strength and landed on the purple-robed martial artist's arm like a flexible bull's tongue.

"Hmm?"

The purple-robed martial artist was alarmed and felt his scalp prickle.

Boom!

Without thinking twice, the spirit energy within his body surged and converged into his arm!

Aiden's palm coiled, trembled and yanked!

Shing!

The purple-robed martial artist's robes were torn entirely, turning into pieces of cloth that floated in midair.

Both of them repelled instantly upon contact!

Although the purple-robed martial artist's arm was perfectly fine, it trembled slightly as though it had endured a massive impact.

Fortunately, he had reacted fast enough and channeled both his bloodline and spirit energy.

Otherwise, his arm would have very likely been snapped with that attack!
