The Last Primal

"Is it… Could it be… him?!"

Slyff Nae exclaimed with shock referring to the strange figure from the recently emerged stories. A figure in gray tattered robes shook not just the Draconic Skink race as a whole, but the whole world as well.

The person who arrived was Aiden who had barged into the palace as well!

*Pshew!* *Pshew!* *Pshew!*

Not far away, rows of archers knelt on the ground and shot out long arrows lined with malevolent energy. A flurry of them arrived instantly, like a swarm of locusts!

"Watch out!"

Slyff Nae exclaimed.

He was clear about the strength of those otherworldly soldiers.

In this palace, the otherworldly soldiers that were spawned were almost representative of the massive, unstoppable army that guarded the palace in the Great Forgotten Capital of the past!

There were many different types of soldiers and they were powerful.

Apart from patrolling troops, there were archers as well as light and heavy-armored mounted riders!

Furthermore, all of them were Martial Masters!

If armies of Martial Masters could range in the millions, it would mean that Martial Masters were everywhere and Martial Grandmasters were plenty as well.

The might of the Great Forgotten Empire could be seen from that fact alone. Although at some point it probably had a proper name, to the people of today that was the only name they remembered it.

The malevolent arrows that were fired were extremely swift but Aiden was faster.

He did not bother to deal with the malevolent arrows at all as he descended quickly.

All of the malevolent arrows missed!

It was a deafening crush.

Aiden was like a human-sized ferocious beast, causing the ground to shudder as he descended before Slyff Nae and the other two.

"Follow me!"

The situation was dire and the otherworldly soldiers were charging once more. Whipping out Rygintarth from his storage bag, Aiden did not waste time on needless words as he led the way and paved a path.

"Aiden, watch out! Those otherworldly soldiers are not easy to deal with!"

Slyff Nae reminded hurriedly.

Naturally, he could tell that Aiden had already formed a core.

However, the strength of those otherworldly soldiers were increasingly powerful and could even destroy the Martial Master phenomenon of the white-robed sword martial artist. Even at late-stage Martial Master realm, the three of them ended in such a helpless situation.

Aiden had just reached to early-stage Martial Master realm. Despite his amazing potential and strong trump cards, if he was encircled by the otherworldly soldiers, he might have to escape here and leave these people behind!

*Clang!*

Rygintarth quivered and let out a scarlet colored, bloody beam.

Circulating his Soul Power, Aiden slashed out and the blood beam expanded with golden-colored primordial energy crackling on it in a terrifying manner!

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The light-armored mounted riders that charged over from the front were swept over by Aiden domineeringly and dissipated instantly!

They were completely helpless.

The otherworldly soldiers that could destroy the white-robed martial artist's Martial Master phenomenon could not withstand the sharpness of Aiden's blade!

What a strong blood energy! Impressive!

The white-robed sword martial artist was secretly in awe.

"Please follow closely behind me!"

Aiden continued advancing with Rygintarth and his speed wasn't affected at all.

He displayed an extremely terrifying sword technique with his hands.

Phantoms appeared everywhere as blood energy spread out.

The killing intent of the sword technique was immense and every single strike was fatal, aiming for one's life. Coupled with Rygintarth, everywhere the blood beam touched, people and mounts would fall – no one could stop Aiden for a moment!

That sword technique was none other than Asura Saber, imparted to him by the Asura, Ward Atrez.

Although Aiden practiced it in private after the battle at Azure Myst Sect, it was against thin air and he could not feel the excitement of a massacre and a massive battle.

At the same time, he could not truly comprehend the intent of Asura Blade.

But now, with the help of the surrounding otherworldly soldiers, Aiden was practicing his technique while breaking free from the encirclement!

Ghosts howling, blood flow, Hell, white bones, phantom, corpse…

Every single attack felt increasingly familiar.

Aiden carefully experienced the intent of his attacks and felt the changes of the sword technique.

"Young Hero, the direction isn't right!"

A short while later, the white-robed sword martial artist frowned and said deeply, "We're now headed towards the depths of the palace. We're getting further away from the outer perimeter!"

Aiden replied. "The commotion caused here was too great and there are at least millions of troops waiting outside. It's not too realistic if we want to kill our way out."

In reality, given his strength, it wasn't considered difficult if he wanted to kill his way out.

If Aiden could kill his way in, he could naturally do the same in reverse.

But now that he was with the group of three and Krisia Hall was severely injured, that made things difficult.

With a calm expression, Aiden analyzed, "If those otherworldly soldiers retained their memories from 10,000 years ago, there must exist places within the palace that they're not permitted to enter casually!"

"Once we enter, we'll find those places and that will ensure our safety temporarily!"

Slyff Nae nodded and hugged Krisia Hall while summoning sword formations, defending against the incoming otherworldly soldiers. "Let's listen to the brave hero!"

"Just call me Aiden…" Aiden threw it back, as being called such presumptious names and titles made him shiver and cringe.

*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*

Before long, a deafening sound of horses galloping sounded in a shuddering manner. Instantly, the debris and rocks in the ruins started bouncing.

The sound came from the front and back!

Slyff Nae and the others narrowed their gazes and looked.

The otherworldly soldiers that chased them from behind dispersed and a dark cloud shrouded over with a terrifying malevolent aura. It was dull, heavy, and suffocating!

That dark cloud gradually condensed into a series of mounted riders.

Wielding long spears, the mounted riders had short spears hanging from their backs and they wore a tight, ancient armor all over.

The only things that were exposed were a pair of grisly bloodshot eyes!

"Heavy-armored mounted riders!"

The white-robed sword martial artist's expression turned terrible.

Earlier on, the light-armored mounted riders condensed by the malevolent energy could already shatter his Martial Master phenomenon with ease.

If these heavy-armored mounted riders were to charge over, their iron hooves would be able to drown them in an instant, killing them without a corpse remaining!action

It was the same in front of them!

Millions of heavy-armored mounted riders rushed over with a torrential momentum!

"Don't be afraid, I'll settle them!"

Aiden's voice sounded once more, calm and composed without any emotions.

For some reason, when he heard that voice, the uneasy heart of the white-robed sword martial artist calmed down instantly.

"Kill!"

A leader of the mounted soldiers raised his long spear and growled from the depths of his throat with a bloody glint in his eyes.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The remaining millions of heavy-armored mounted riders chanted with a mighty aura while withdrawing the short spears on their backs at the same time, throwing them towards Aiden and the other three with their full strength in unison!

*Buzz!* *Buzz!*

Millions of short spears that gleamed coldly tore through the air and let out an ear-piercing sound.

This was equivalent to millions of Martial Masters attacking at the same time and the force of it was much stronger than the arrows.

Dense and clumped, they covered the skies and almost drowned Aiden and the other three!

The white-robed sword martial artist had cultivated for more than a hundred years and had been through countless life-and-death experiences. Yet, he still felt his heart palpitate at this scene and could not contain himself properly.

'I guess only Martial Grandmasters can survive against such an attack?' He was shocked at the possibility, the terrifying power of the attack.

A thought flashed through the white-robed sword martial artist's mind.

*Ring!* *Ring!* *Ring!*

At the same time, a clear sword buzzing sound reverberated through the world, tearing through metal and rock with an endless sharpness!

The white-robed sword martial artist was extremely familiar with such a sharpness.

To begin with, he was someone that trained his whole life on the way of the sword.

Instinctively, the white-robed sword martial artist turned towards the sound.

As Aiden waved his sleeves, several supreme-grade artifact quality blades hovered in midair.

The swords quivered and spirit light shone brightly.

As though they were alive, the 18 flying swords moved unusually and interweaved in midair, leaving behind streams of sharp, cold sword energy.

As they interweaved, the sword energy sliced the void into pieces and formed an extremely mysterious formation.

"Attack!"

Aiden hollered softly.

The flying, floating, and rotating swords gathered at the same time with their tips pointing out, resembling a blazing sun radiating with a supreme sword energy. It formed in front of the white-robed sword martial artist and the other two, defending them with a gigantic disk made of swords that spun wildly!

*Boom!*

Thousands of short spears struck the Azure Sword Formation and let out a deafening bang!

The entire void seemed to have quivered.

Right after, the world went silent!

The white-robed sword martial artist's eyelids twitched rapidly – this scene had caused his heart to leap into his throat.
