The Last Primal

In his estimations, even ten Heavenly Essence Swords wouldn't be able to deal with his Martial Master phenomenon!

As Aiden was comprehending his Martial Master phenomenon, his eyes blurred once more and the divine turtle from earlier on disappeared.

The next moment, Aiden was stunned.

It was as though he had traveled back in time and instantly, the environment changed!

Previously, the heavens were shattered.

This time round, the earth had caved in and blood flowed everywhere!

Heavens collapsing and the ground sinking in were catastrophes of the legends. When they surfaced in Aiden's vision, it shook his mind and felt extremely realistic as though he was right in the midst of it.

The ground caved continuously, opening up bottomless ravines one after another.

A baleful aura surged forth.

The mountains were tumbling and the ground was disintegrating!

Lava surged forth endlessly with a scorching heat, flowing rampantly on the vast lands and burning everything in sight – countless living beings were turned into ashes!

Experiencing the apocalyptic tragedy brought forth by the terrifying power of this catastrophe, Aiden felt his mind shake and he could not steady himself!

What is this? What was happening?

Aiden was dumbfounded.

Logically speaking, he had already trained a Martial Master phenomenon – why was another phenomenon, one even more terrifying appearing before him?

Furthermore, it was comparable to the previous phenomenon in terms of power!

The miserable cries of the living beings seemed to have woken some sort of a powerful existence.

All of a sudden!

A massive living being crawled out from the depths of the ground with a terrifying aura. It had the head of a snake and the body of an anaconda. Red in color, it was lined with scales that stacked against one another like flaming red steel plates!

That is…

Aiden's mouth opened slightly.

*Boom!*

Before he could react, the living being soared into the air and a massive pair of flaming wings appeared on its gigantic back!

What sort of a monster was that?

The head of a snake, the body of something resembling that of an anaconda, the thick scales of a dragon, possibly not even a regular one, no horns on its head nor legs beneath its feet, it was like an ancient wyrm with wings!

However, the aura of the wyrm was not inferior compared to True Dragons!

Ascending above the very heavens, the scarlet eyes of the wyrm scanned the place. When it looked at the endless corpses of the countless living beings buried in the sea of flames, it could not help but bellow.

*Swoosh!*

Opening its massive mouth, the wyrm sucked furiously!

All the scorching lava on the ground flowed in reverse into the wyrm's mouth like rivers entering a sea.

It swallowed the lava with large, angry mouthfuls.

The scales on the wyrm turned brighter and redder and the flames on its wings intensified!

Countless living beings were saved by the wyrm singlehandedly!

Aiden took a long time before he could calm down after seeing the scene.

Double phenomenons?

Could a single person possibly possess two different phenomenons?

Taking a deep breath of air, Aiden recalled and experienced the two different phenomenons, comprehending them deeply.

An unknown period of time passed as he was deep in thought.

All of a sudden!

He opened his eyes with a lightning gaze.

Behind him, a phenomenon with a majestic aura rose.

The heavens shattered and void currents flowed everywhere as meteors fell. The divine turtle-dragon stood between the world and stabilized the void currents with its limbs while holding up the heavens with its back as it roared into the skies!

Immediately after, on the other side, another phenomenon surfaced.

The ground caved in and volcanoes erupted, causing lava to surge with countless living beings implicated.

A wyrm surged forth from the ground and descended upon the mortal realm.

The two phenomenons appeared together behind Aiden and emitted a terrifying aura as though they could contain everything!

The peach blossom tree was motionless, seemingly scared stiff by the two phenomenons.

A long time later, Aiden let out a deep breath and the divine light in his eyes vanished. Gradually, his aura retracted and gathered within his inner core.

The two Martial Master phenomenons dissipated slowly.

Success!

Aiden was delighted that he had managed to cultivate two Martial Master phenomenons that were so strong and frightening.

However, he had many questions.

What were the origins of his phenomenons and what were their names?

Or rather, why was he able to conjure two phenomenons?

Recalling carefully, Aiden thought about information he had read about many ancient remnant beasts and pure-blooded ferocious beasts in the ancient books he read also back in the Azure Myst Sect's Ugburg's temporary base as well as in the Ancient One's Palace. However, none of them matched the two demon beasts.

Could they be… living beings from the primordial era that are now extinct? Could they be from the era where his parents… his people were still alive?

Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

If they were extinct living beings from the primordial era, there would be almost no records of them in the ancient books now.

Only some ancient super sects might have retained remnants of information regarding them.

Aiden did not know much about Martial Master phenomenons.

"Perhaps I might only get a better understanding after returning to Eora... Or perhaps back to Haven."

After all, either her Master, Number 3 or the Mistress back on Higrove would probably know more and would be able to help him with the answers.

They were both coming from a past that gave them unsurmountable knowledge about the true happenings of the world.

Their power was also beyond what was normal, they were both from an era where a massacre between geniuses and the clashing of top-tier Martial Master phenomenons were probably normal. That was a feast that only belonged to the paragons!

All of a sudden!

Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

Among the four Martial Masters that accompanied Mighty Cain Khoren here, apart from Sezud Nida, judging from their sect badges, they both seemed to come from faraway places.

Maybe even not from this world…

He might be able to seek out some useful information from the Martial Master who cultivated the Heavenly Essence Swords.

Aiden took out the person's storage bag and injected spirit energy into it. After a brief check, he withdrew an ancient book from it.

There were four words written on it – Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking!

Throughout history, there have been countless Martial Masters who left their names on the Phenomenon Ranking and it was refreshed constantly. However, there were not many changes to the top hundred Martial Master phenomenons.

All in all, only those slightly more than hundred Martial Master phenomenons could be considered as the strong ones!

There were many words scribbled on it – it was clear that someone had recorded them.

The words on the first row were the largest and the most striking!

Phenomenon Ranking No. 1.

Number 0, The Reaper, Chaos Ocean!

The front portion was his name while the back was the Martial Master phenomenon he cultivated.

There was even a line of small words after his Martial Master phenomenon describing the origins of it.

When Aiden caught sight of the first sentence, he was shocked!

Chaos Ocean, ancient phenomenon, created by the Ancient One!

Aiden continued reading.

'The Chaos Ocean was created by the Ancient One using everything he learned after he entered the Extreme Martial Knight realm and observed the secrets of heaven and earth while pursuing the origins of the universe. It's the top among thousands of phenomenons and is the number one across history!"

Top among thousands of phenomenons and number one across history!

What an incredible evaluation!

Aiden was secretly shocked.

Although he had also cultivated to the Extreme Martial Knight realm, the Martial Master phenomenon he cultivated did not depend on the number of Inner Core he had unlocked, but his experiences and his comprehension of his martial.

There was a high chance that this Martial Master Phenomenon Ranking was from a hundred years ago.

Aiden did not know what sect or background this so called Number 0 or 'The Reaper' was from to be able to comprehend a Martial Master phenomenon created by the Ancient One.

Any martial artist that could occupy the top spot of the Phenomenon Ranking was definitely not someone to be messed with.

It was clear judging from Ward Atrez's methods.

Aiden continued reading.

Phenomenon Ranking No. 2.

Heartless Jean, Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.

When he saw Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, Aiden knew that the martial artist was the successor of Asura Sect.

In that battle at Azure Myst Sect, the same phenomenon appeared behind the Asura Ward Atrez and it had a tremendous might. With a single strike, it killed two Quasi-Divines!

Aiden continued reading.

Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, created by the first Asura of the ancient era.

Initially two different Martial Master phenomenons, Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea. Although there have been many heirs in the Asura Sect, only a few of them could fuse the two together.

Once fused, it possesses terrifying might and can be ranked in the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking!
