The Last Primal-838 Chapter 838
It shone brilliantly with a bedazzling silver light! A top-notch artifact!
The fact that such a powerful artifact weapon was given to a mere Martial Knight realm martial artist was evident of how much Hart You was valued in Sword Sect!
This was his final trump card. Initially, he had intended to keep it until the final fight for the Ancient One's Palace's inheritance to suppress everyone.
But given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to use it in advance!
"Purple Firmament Slash!"
Against Raging Tides, Seehto'ch Ku'gar could not hide any longer as well as he conjured a hand seal, releasing a secret skill of the Purple Firmament Sect.
Shrouded by purple mana, an extremely sharp purple sword was condensed in midair before slicing the incoming Raging Tides fiercely!
"Indestructible Diamond!"
Reverend Jor Har's hands were shifting continuously as he conjured a mysterious hand seal. Almost instantly, his body seemed as though it was covered by a layer of golden saintly glow that illuminated brightly!
Against the raging tides, Reverend Jor Har was calm like a bonafide godly being that loomed over the mortal world. His eyes were closed and he was unmoved even as the wave washed over him.
The three of them were not the only ones; the other five paragons released their final trump cards one after another as well.
Some of them brought out perfect-grade defensive spirit weapons, some of them crushed protection talismans with resplendent patterns and others released ultimate secret skills of their sects – they were all proving their capabilities!
Almost at the same time, Zenith Sect's Bair Yohren's figure flashed as he wielded a spirit saber and charged towards Aiden's back with torrential killing intent.
"Bair Yohren, you…"
Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva exclaimed when she saw that, wanting to strike and force back Bair Yohren.
However, Snowdrift Valley's Sieanna Caliphe's flying sword was moving swifter and swifter, restricting Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva to the spot such that she was unable to break free.
The situation on the battlefield was shifting rapidly and Aiden's Raging Tides expanded widely, looking as though it was about to defeat the eight paragons soon.
Yet, all eight of them released their trump cards unexpectedly and withstood Raging Tides head-on!
Furthermore, Hart You and Seehto'ch Ku'gar managed to counter-attack and a top-tier artifact weapon was even brought out!
Between the many sword flashes, an imperceptible figure appeared without warning like a ghost, creeping towards Aiden…
There was a faint killing intent that appeared!
—
"It's you?! Zenith Sect's Bair Yohren?"
When he saw Bair Yohren charging over from the sides, Aiden already realized that his identity was being suspected! After all, he was the only person in this large group of illustrious figures that actually had some sort of history with.
At that thought, Aiden's killing intent rose massively as well!
However, all of a sudden an unprecedented sense of danger surged into his heart.
Aiden's hair stood on end and his scalp prickled.
The feeling of danger did not come from Hart You, Seehto'ch Ku'gar, any of the eight paragons, or Zenith Sect's Bair Yohren who was charging towards him from behind – it was someone else!
It was someone that Aiden could not see with his eyes. There were some unknown source of energy forming a blurry shroud of mystical fog that covered its being.
However, his keen and hightened perception gained from the system and his existence as being a Primal informed him that an extremely scary martial artist was hidden in a corner, waiting to deal him a fatal blow!
The attacker's angle could be considered as perfect as it was in Aiden's blind spot.
The timing of the attack was also perfect without any flaws at all!
At that moment, Aiden had just released Raging Tides and was in the weakest state as he was recovering from the momentum of his action.
Furthermore, the eight paragons had just released their trump cards and Hart You and Seehto'ch Ku'gar were counterattacking; a top grade artifact weapon was even brought out.
Coupled with the fact that Bair Yohren was arriving from the back, Aiden was already cornered by enemies on all fronts!
Given those circumstances, the unknown martial artist's sneak attack was a complete deadlock for Aiden such that it would be difficult even for deities to save him!
Suddenly, a vague, blurry figure flashed through Aiden's mind.
It wasn't because his memory was bad. Instead, nobody had seen that person's appearance before.
However now he had recognized this figure. Or more precisely, he had recalled the stories he was told during his stay with Tai Liu's Azure Myst Sect base in Ugburg City.
It was the Faceless Assassin of Hidden Lotus Sect!
Prior to this, that killer from the fiend sects had not made his appearance.
Now that he attacked, he was aiming for Aiden's life!
"It's him!"
A few Grandmaster Guardians close to the Ancient One's Palace narrowed their gazes and exclaimed.
One of the elders shook his head. "It's over. That lad's a dead man now."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
To them, there was no way Aiden would be able to reverse this deadly situation given his abilities! 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ
"What a pity. Even a paragon as such has to die at the Ancient One's Palace."
"There's nothing to be pitied about. Throughout history, there have been countless paragons who suffered early deaths. He's merely one of them."
…
Suddenly, the tides changed on the battlefield!
The eight paragons released their skills respectively and six of them defended against [Raging Tides] while Hart You and Seehto'ch Ku'gar counterattacked!
A purple beam tore through the layers of tides and slashed towards Aiden.
With a calm expression, Aiden spun his saber and slashed forward, intending to make use of his power of bloodline to fight Purple Firmament Sect's secret skill head-on.
*BUZZ!* *BUZZ!*
Suddenly, a silver circlet tore through the air and buzzed while quivering.
Six blinding ethereal lights shone like the bright fully lit midnight moon, emitting a terrifying and chilling aura.
*CLANG!*
The silver circlet collided against the sword blade.
Aiden shuddered. With a creak, cracks started appearing on the blade and it exploded!
It was destroyed!
A high grade artifact weapon was destroyed just like that!
That was how terrifying top grade artifact weapons were!
After circling in midair, the silver circlet reversed and charged towards Aiden again!
At the same time, Seehto'ch Ku'gar's Purple Firmament Slash descended.
Arriving at the back, Bair Yohren's Zenith Saber slashed out at a sinister angle with a nauseating bloodied stench; the sounds of ghosts howling could be heard vaguely.
Sword Force, once again!
After losing to Aiden the previous time round, Bair Yohren managed a breakthrough as well and comprehended a saber force of the Zenith Blade!
Three ultimate killing moves descended at the same time!
At the exact moment, an imperceptible figure appeared, wielding a long, slender sword that was as thin as cicada wings.
The person's appearance was ordinary and his eyes were listless like a dead fish. The killing intent that he possessed was completely innate but his sword was aimed at the back of Aiden's head and was almost instantaneous!
The destruction of the spirit sword made the situation even worse.
Aiden was barehanded and had nowhere to retreat now!
Upon seeing that, Snowdrift Valley's Sieanna Caliphe and Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva stopped in their tracks instinctively.
"Ah!"
Blood drained from Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva's face as she exclaimed. A deafening sound rang in her mind and it went blank, as if someone had gripped her heart and stopped it from beating.
All of a sudden!
"DIE!"
A holler that sounded like thunder booming tore through metal and stone while quaking one's mind!
Even the martial artists, be it young or old, who were watching from afar were so shocked that they shuddered in fear.
They could not imagine how the four paragons closest to Aiden in the center of the battlefield were going to endure that terrifying blow!
The four of them winced in pain at the same time.
Be it the Purple Firmament Slash, Hart You's top grade artifact weapon, Bair Yohren's Zenith Blade or the Faceless Assassin's slender sword, everything paused for a brief moment.
That momentary pause was Aiden's chance!
*CRACKLE!*
Leaping upwards, his flesh and bones sounded at the same time and his entire body crumpled into a ball.
The burly man that was initially two meters tall turned into a meatball the size of an young small boy right in front of everyone!
While his methods may seem ordinary if they were performed by an ancient mighty figure or patriarch, the fact that a Martial Knight realm martial artist was doing it was unbelievable!
His move, coupled with the burst of thunderous roar, caused the attacks of the four paragons to miss!
Not only that, Hart You's top grade artifact weapon was even repelled towards Bair Yohren. Seehto'ch Ku'gar's Purple Firmament Slash landed in front of the Faceless Assassin.
*CLANG!*
Bair Yohren shuddered and blood oozed from the corner of his lips.
The power of a top grade artifact weapon was not something that everyone could withstand.
The Faceless Assassin managed to retract his sword in time and made a decisive move to retreat swiftly after blocking the Purple Firmament Slash by making use of its momentum.
After missing his attack, he fled a thousand miles away in a heartbeat.
*SWOOSH!*
A shuddering aura suddenly burst forth from within Aiden's body!
It was as though the ancient seal was once again undone in the depths of his soul, releasing a frightening primordial power!
"Roar!"
