The Last Primal

Swallowed by the mighty waves of the mystical water that was formed from the sheer will of the legendary Sword Emperor and pure, wild untainted essence of the very world itself, both Aiden and Bair Yohren were in a serious predicament.

Even with his powerful body, Aiden could feel slight waves of pain! He was secretly shocked.

If any ordinary martial artist or warrior were absorbed by the mystic sea, they would most likely be torn into pieces within a couple of seconds. They would have absolutely no chance to survive…

Suddenly, Aiden's mind flashed with a warning as the water current behind him fluctuated unusually. It was as though an extremely sharp object was cutting through the waves towards him. Even without looking back, or checking it at the system's map, Aiden knew what it was.

It was Bair Yohren. Even after entering the mystic sea, Bair Yohren did not give up on hunting down Aiden.

Aiden exerted all his force and leaped forth with great power, resurfacing above the water. He tread on the surface of the water and continued sprinting towards the distant mountain range.

But he was not alone. Bair Yohren was hot on his heels, lagging only just a dozen or so steps behind and keeping up with his pace.

In front of them, the waves rumbled louder and louder. The ocean spray was like a white line between the sky and the sea, resembling a massive army charging at them with ferocious momentum!

In the blink of an eye, Aiden and Bair Yohren were swallowed by the wave once more.

They resurfaced time and again only to be eaten up by the waves repeatedly. Under the constant baptism of the pure, wild mana of the mystical sea, even Aiden felt the pressure weighing on him.

Even worse, the deeper they got into the mystic sea, the more terrifying the power of the waves became. The sea howled relentlessly and the waves surged, as if they could not calm down unless they ate both offenders, Aiden and Bair Yohren!

The two of them slowed down. The distance between the two of them increased as well.

In terms of physique, Bair Yohren obviously could not match Aiden's after all. After there was a huge, unsurmountable gap between them.

By now, Bair Yohren was already feeling a little exhausted and dizzy. The longer they were in the spirit sea, the more of the wild energy they would accumulate within their body.

Once the limit it could endure was reached, the body would be shredded up by the endlessly flowing pure essence, causing the flesh, tendons, bones and organs to be torn up.

Bair Yohren could already sense the wild energy of the mystic sea invading his organs! With a leap, he appeared on the surface of the sea and took a deep breath of air. There was a faint taste of salt at the bottom of his throat.

His face contorted, revealing an ugly expression. He could not chase anymore no matter how hard he tried. Any more and he would seriously risk his own survival.

His heart skipped a beat at this thought. He would still have a chance if he were to return to shore right now. If he truly entered the depths of the mystic sea, it would be too late even if he wanted to retreat at that time!

His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the robed and hooded figure before him who was still floating in the mystic sea.

He was indignant that he could not get to kill Aiden personally.

However, to him, Aiden would definitely die if the latter continued to advance.

That was because the waves of the deep sea would only turn more ferocious and the wild energy would be even stronger, more and more ferocious! At that thought, Bair Yohren scoffed coldly and turned for the shore.

As for Aiden, he was getting further and further from it…

…

Aiden did not bother about what Bair Yohren did. In the mystic sea, given Bair Yuohrens physique, there was no way the latter could catch up to him!

Aiden's attention was entirely focused on how he should deal with the waves crashing from all directions, on how he should pass the test to reach the so-called sword mountain.

After arriving on the shore, Aiden could finally have a sigh and calm down the raging fire inside his body. He sat down on the ground in a meditative pose and began to concentrate on the mantra he had developed. With each completed passage, his mind was calmer and calmer as his mind and eventually, his body cleared up.

Some time later…

The neigh hundred-strong figures standing by the shoreline of the mystic sea watched the now small, tiny dark dot, the unassuming young man's figure in the distance. All of them were shocked with their mouth agape.

Watching the tiny figure really pass the mystic sea and arrive at the foot of the mythical sword mountain, they were struggling to come to their senses.

This was an outcome that none of them had expected.

At this moment, even though Aiden's figure appeared tiny, none of them viewed him as a pathetic being. His unyielding will moved everyone.

They were all disciples and clansmen of the top sects and clans of the world. They could understand the meaning behind such a powerful, unyielding will. They were moved because of it.

In their philosophy, it was the same for the path of cultivation as well. If one did not have a will and determination as such, how could they reach the very end? How could they realize their goals and step into the realm of the truly powerful?

"[Slaric] Could he truly be able to obtain the Sword Emperor's inheritance?"

"[Slaric] I don't' think so. Throughout history, only one person has succeeded. This person… can't do it! That's impossible!"

"[Slaric] What do you know?! He is the first to reach the other side since a hundred years ago!"

"[Slaric] By the looks of it, I don't think he can hold out for much longer."

Many of the crowd discussed softly.

Suddenly, Bair Yohren opened his eyes and let out a long breath, adding a tinge of redness back to his face. After almost two full hours since his return to the shore, he had finally expelled all the raging wild energy from his body.

However, during this period of time, Aiden was still advancing against the tide, fighting against the surging waves and the ferocious wild mana.

'I refuse to believe that you will be able to reach the mountains!' He glared ahead coldly, muttering inwardly with gritted teeth.

Right then, another torrential wave surfaced on the sea far away, crashing heavily onto the figure.

Hello!

As you can see, I am doing my best to give more attention and my very limited time to this again. Whilst I can't make promises as there's a lot going on in the background with my life nowadays, I am trying my absolute best to provide you at least 1500+ words of content (or 2 chapters if I can achieve it) each and every day.

There may be bumps on the road but just bear with me. :)

Also, I have added coins to the which should make any one of you eligible for the 'treasures' or rewards (whatever they are) if you are gifting to the book through the mobile app. Let me know if it works or if there are any issues!
