The Last Primal

Broken rocks fell on Aiden's head continuously but he was perfectly fine!

For someone such as Aiden, the layout of this cave abode he was given as compensation for his assistance was already similar to that of a Martial Master.

It was spacious and had a high ceiling.

Without the use of external objects, Martial Masters could soar through the air and reach a hundred feet in height.

Naturally, the height of the cave abode had to be more than a hundred feet!

What was a hundred feet akin to?

It was similar to a building with ten levels!

Now that Aiden was breaking through the roof of the cave abode, it meant that his body had already grown to the height of a hundred feet!

Energy surged into his body endlessly and gathered around his chest.

His body expanded rapidly and caused his flesh to tear open, creating bloody mists. His bones were cracking non-stop and even his major tendons were being extended to their limits!

Aiden was covered in his own blood.

His immensely strong regeneration abilities were healing his injuries repeatedly.

Healing after being destroyed, healing after being destroyed…

The cycle continued.

The aura that was given off by his body was turning increasingly terrifying!

The process of his flesh tearing and regenerating was extremely unendurable – Aiden was undergoing unimaginable torment!

A long time later, finally unable to hold it in, he slouched his spine and opened his mouth, revealing veins that burst forth from his neck as he let out a thunderous roar from the depths of his throat!

"Roar!"

It sounded like a dragon and another demonic beast, mayhaps a tiger spreading through the entire place and shocking the world!

Night was the time for birds and beasts to roam and hunt for food and their roars and cries could be heard everywhere.

However, after Aiden's roar, all the mountains nearby fell into complete silence!

The old heavenly swan jolted awake from her thoughts and her heart skipped a beat.

The glabella of the old heavenly swan shone and she released her spirit consciousness swiftly, forming a pitch-black light barrier that isolated Aiden's cave abode from the outside world; no one could check on him using their eyes or spirit consciousness.

Aiden's current level of power must not be revealed yet.

Martial artists bore a deep-rooted grudge towards those not following the set and guided path and that was a fact that was difficult to change.

If they knew that Aiden was undergoing such a vicious unknown transformation, the other martial artists of the sect would not be able to accept it.

The commotion it would cause would be too great.

Many Martial Grandmasters and Martial Masters were alarmed. Thinking that a strong foe had arrived, they came forth from their cave abodes one after another despite the fact that their wounds were not fully healed.

Gazing over, everyone caught sight of a light barrier and could not see what was going on inside.

"Leave first and continue healing up. There's nothing important happening here."

The old heavenly swan's voice rang in everyone's mind.

All the Azure Myst Sect martial artists heaved a sigh of relief and returned, albeit with slightly confused gazes.

Everyone had heard that roar loud and clear.

Even the Martial Grandmasters of the sect felt their hearts skip a beat!

"What sort of demonic beast was that? It sounds terrifying."

"I don't know, but its background shouldn't be simple."

"It should have been taken down by senior crane."

Many martial artists of the sect discussed in hushed whispers as they went their separate ways.

They could not see that the cave abode that was within the pitch-black light barrier had already collapsed.

In the rumbling dust, a towering figure more than a hundred feet tall stood.

Unknowingly, Aiden's clothes had already been torn apart, revealing defined bronze muscles that shone with a metallic luster.

Blood vessels surfaced on his body one after another as the golden veins lined the entire place in a terrifying sight, as though snakes made out of pure essence were crawling everywhere!

This was a body that could be described as perfect!

A round ball of blood was swiveling inside Aiden's chest, beside his heart, and emitting a rich, wild and pure essence – A new core, smaller than his previous, a small crystal emerged inside him! A new core, an Inner Core was formed!

Inner Core formation, success!

Sensing the incredible amount of wild power that was revolving around him, Aiden felt incredible!

A blood-red Inner Core swiveled slowly within his chest.

Aiden could barely contain the joy in his eyes and merely gripped his fists gently. With every single action he took, he could sense the massive power coming from each part of his body that seemed to be able to crush mountains!

It was a leap in quality!

Aiden withdrew a supreme-grade longsword from his storage space and injected a sliver of his own energy into it.

The sword shone brightly with a cold intent.

Aiden flicked the blade with his finger gently.

*Buzz!*

The blade quivered.

The clash of his flesh and a supreme-grade blade of the longsword had actually caused the sound of metal clashing to be emitted!

Circulating his internal energy fully, the essence sea in Aiden's original Primal Core surged and unleashed his full power.

He took a deep breath of air and with a blazing gaze, struck the supreme-grade long sword heavily against his arm!

*Clang!*

The flying sword was repelled.

His arm was completely fine.

Although Aiden had not managed to cultivate to the Martial Master realm in his training yet, he was at the legendary Extreme Martial Knight realm. At his current state of power, his strength was comparable to an early-stage Martial Master.

Right now, the sword did not even leave a single mark on his arm!

Even the old heavenly swan was shocked when she saw that.

The most resilient parts of a demon's body were mostly their fangs and claws.

If a supreme-grade long sword couldn't even penetrate Aiden's flesh, a perfect artifact weapon might not be able to hurt his bones as well!

If that was the case, it was even less likely that his organs could be injured.

The old heavenly swan was certain that Aiden's body was even stronger than pure-blooded ferocious beasts at Martial Master realm!

That was because she was a pure-blooded ferocious bird herself.

Aiden had just formed his Inner Core and yet, he was already in possession of such a terrifying physique. If he were to continue increasing his power and arrive at the limits of core formation…

The old heavenly swan did not dare to imagine.

*Piak!*

Right then, a crisp sound rang out from Aiden's cave abode!

The old heavenly swan's pupils constricted and her heart skipped a beat.

Aiden was holding onto the dim shards of a broken sword with both palms.

The supreme-grade long sword from earlier on was snapped by his bare hands!

"This…"

The old heavenly swan was a little stunned and her eyes widened while her mouth opened.

As she looked at the enigma that this boy's entire being was, she could not help but lament, "This lad's physique is probably comparable to those legendary beings by now."

"He is truly a monster!"

The old heavenly swan could not help but add another remark mentally.

Compared to Aiden and Night Spirit, her bloodline as a pure-blooded ferocious bird was akin to the bloodline of a domestic fowl…

In the cave abode.

Looking at the broken sword in his palms, Aiden thought about that fateful night when he was sent into this world. Whilst it was just a few months ago, to him, it felt like an entire eternity had passed.

He had no idea how his loved ones, his family, and friends were doing. Besides sensing that they were okay through their shared connection, he had no information about them whatsoever.

Still, he had come a long way. His original goal has now been accomplished, and he has gained a newfound source of strength. A new path that he could embark on, and grow more powerful whilst he continued to search for his people's, the Primal's traces.

"Aiden."

Suddenly, the voice of the old heavenly swan sounded within the cave abode.

"Don't get distracted. You have just formed your inner core and you have to continue to stabilize your new realm!"

Aiden jolted awake.

It was only at that moment that he realized how much of a mess his breakthrough had created. His cave abode had already collapsed and dust was rumbling everywhere as debris laid on the ground.

The reason why the other martial artists were not alarmed was due to the pitch-black light barrier in his surroundings.

Aiden bowed hurriedly. "Thank you, senior."

He shocked himself with his comment.action

His voice had changed completely!

It was loud as a bell and robust, enough to shake one's mind!

The old heavenly swan said gently. "You have to control the power of your Inner Core to a point where it's natural. Otherwise, how are you going to be able to face other people? Even your voice will be enough to scare them."
