The Last Primal



They had not seen each other for more than twenty or so years.

The spirit tiger was still as chirpy as before and monkey was as prideful as before – everything was the same as in the past.

Aiden felt a sense of warmth in his heart as he looked at them playing around.

At times, it was simpler to get along with demons instead.

There were no schemes and plots.

On the other hand, humans were much more complex.

For monkey and the spirit tiger, everything became much simpler after they entered the ancient battlefield.

The same way Crystal Palace Sect predicted that Aiden could come knocking, the two of them thought about the same thing as well and subdued a group of demons to form a beast stampede.

The little fox had the same idea.

However, the regrettable thing was that there was still no news of Morwyn Blackstone, the little bald monk.

"Stay here and recover first. I'll go clean up the battlefield."

Aiden rose to leave after settling down monkey and the others.

Hundreds of thousands of people were buried in this battle.

All the storage bags of the martial artists had to be retrieved.

For Aiden right now, apart from top-grade artifact weapons or rare ancient treasures, no other artifact weapons could attract him.

However, he could not abandon the storage bags as well.

What was most important to Aiden were the Soul Nourishing Blood Ginsengs, Spirit Gathering Fruits, and other elixirs that could be used to cultivate and nourish one's Essence Spirit collected by those martial artists.

Those were consumables and naturally, the more the merrier.

There were demon beasts all over the ancient city.

However, when Aiden walked through the ancient city, all of them chose to avoid him instinctively.

A docile and shy young lady walked behind him – it was the little fox who had taken on human form.

"Is there anything?"

Aiden did not stop in his tracks and glanced sideways.

Slumping her head, the little fox snuck a gaze at Aiden with her huge, watery eyes, whispering, "Mister, are you angry at me?"

The little fox could have taken on human form a long time ago, however, she chose to conceal that fact due to some embarrassing reasons.

She was still feeling uneasy.

After a moment of contemplation, Aiden said intentionally, "Since you don't trust me, you don't have to follow me from now on."

The moment the little fox heard that, she was flustered. She stood on the spot blankly with tears brimming in her eyes that could fall at any moment.

"My mother is dead and now you don't want me anymore after bringing me out of the cave. I don't have any kin at all."

"And from now on, nobody wants me anymore! Boohoo!"

The little fox bawled and broke out into tears.

Aiden was shocked.

He had only mentioned it casually to tease the little fox – he hadn't expected her to take it for real.

A few heads popped out one after another from the top of the city wall.

Monkey, the spirit tiger, and the Golden Lion sprawled on the top of the wall and looked over in secret – all three of them had flames of gossip blazing in their eyes.

The spirit tiger said, "Aiden must be treating Foxy badly and bullying her! I'm going to head down and help her!"

Monkey replied, "Go on."

The Golden Lion commented, "Rest in peace, warrior."

Spirit tiger: "…"

Aiden turned around and wiped away the tears in the little fox's eyes gently, smiling bitterly. "I was only teasing you. How could I be angry at you for something so small?"

"For real?"

The little fox stopped crying and tilted her head slightly, asking in slight disbelief.

"Absolutely."

"So you won't chase me away in the future?"

"No,"

"Thank you, mister."

The little fox broke into a smile. There were still droplets of sparkling tears hanging onto her long lashes, reflecting a brilliance under the shine of the sun.

Aiden only managed to clean up the battlefield after a long time.

He gathered the items within the storage bags – there were close to a hundred thousand artifact weapons, various elixirs, and countless talismans.

Aiden did not have much use for those items.

He could not be bothered with ordinary artifact weapons.

For elixirs, he only consumed perfect-grade elixirs without any fault.

There was only a single top-grade artifact weapon among the hundred thousand artifact weapons.I think you should take a look at

It was the glove that his friend, Drake wore previously.

Although there was only one, that was already sufficient for Aiden.

His right hand was in possession of the divine phoenix bone and even Dharmic weapons wouldn't be able to destroy it!

As long as he wore that top-grade glove on his left hand, he could catch almost any weapon barehanded with both his hands!

He would be close to invulnerable!

There were more than a hundred Spirit Gathering Fruits in total.

Be it demons or martial artists, they merely had to consume two at most while cultivating their Essence Spirits – consuming more won't make a difference.

With more than a hundred, it was enough for them to split evenly.

There were a total of 12,000 stalks of Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng!

At first glance, that seemed like a massive number.action

However, Aiden had a hunch that the number of Soul Nourishing Blood Ginsengs he required was much more than ordinary martial artists!

It wasn't only because he had both traditional and a unique sort of power technique.

More than that, be it his own Draconic Core or his Inner Core, they were different from ordinary people.

Furthermore, monkey, the spirit tiger, and the other demons also required Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng for a breakthrough to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

Therefore, Aiden had to collect as many Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng as he could in the ancient battlefield!

…

10 days later.

Monkey's bloodline was extremely strong.

After the spirit tiger trained the Void Splitting Manual, its bloodline contained the power of thunder.

The rumbling of thunder in spring brought about the birth of all living beings.

To begin with, the power of life could be found within thunder.

Although monkey and the spirit tiger were the most badly injured, their injuries had mostly recovered after 10 days.

Both of them were active by nature and did not want to continue staying in the ancient city.

Aiden asked, "What plans do you guys have after leaving the ancient city?"

"I'm following you," Monkey replied.

To begin with, Aiden was the reason why he entered the ancient battlefield.

The spirit tiger scratched its head and coughed gently. Licking its face, it walked over to the little fox and smiled deviously, wagging its tail. "Foxy, where are you headed for?"

The little fox replied, "I'm naturally following mister."

Piak!

The spirit tiger slapped its thighs and shouted, "What a coincidence! We're both thinking about the same thing!"

Bang!

A massive palm appeared from the side and landed squarely on the spirit tiger's face, sending it flying.

"F*ck!"

The spirit tiger's shout could be heard from midair.

The little fox snickered endlessly.

Aiden turned around and looked at the Golden Lion. "What about you? If you wish to leave, I'll split you some of the Spirit Gathering Fruit and Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng."

The Golden Lion replied, "I don't have anywhere to go either."

After pondering for a moment, the Golden Lion said with a hesitant expression, "If you don't mind, I can even be your mount."

Through the battle in the ancient city, it had already witnessed how strong Aiden was.

In the depths of its heart, although it was unwilling, it was not embarrassed if it could become a mount for someone as strong as this.

"Hahahaha!"

Aiden reared his head in laughter and patted the Golden Lion on the shoulder. "I should be thanking you for standing out for me righteously a few days ago! How can I still see you as a mount! Don't look down on me, Yellow Hair."

When it heard the first part, the Golden Lion was initially touched.

However, its expression darkened and it grumbled when it heard 'Yellow Hair', "Is there any other name?"

"Yellow Hair is pretty good,"

Monkey consoled, "If it was up to me, I'd call you a lion dog…"

"Ugh,"

The Golden Lion remarked, "Yellow Hair's better."

Aiden waved forward in an awesome manner. "Since that's the case, let's head to the center of the ancient battlefield and take a look at the Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking as well as the paragons of the world! I'll definitely get my hands on the top spot of the ranking!"

"Let's go!"

"Time to go!"

"Foxy, wait for me…!"
