Chapter 2337: Chapter 2337: Impossible!
The ancient and tiworn altar spanned a vast area, seemingly boundless...
Surrounding this altar were statues of varying forms, so in human shapes, others in grotesque creature forms, each with unique postures and expressions.
In the midst of these diverse statues, as if the stars surrounding the moon, stood a massive statue in the form of a human.
It depicted a middle-aged man with a rugged face, shaggy hair falling over his shoulders, possessing a robust and tall fra, with perfect muscles seeming to contain explosive power...
One foot stood on a tall platform, his upper body bare, holding an enormous axe, looking skyward with eyes that challenged the heavens, poised as if to ’compete with the sky’!
"Elder Ancestor!"
"Elder Ancestor!"
...
As the Clan Chief of the Human Demon Clan, Vigo Yorke, began to speak respectfully, his voice continuously echoed around the vast altar, lingering in the air.
This phenonon occurred because the altar was encircled by mountains on all sides, which created the echo.
"Who dares to disturb here?!"
Monts later, a voice filled with anger and coldness resounded, seemingly coming from all directions.
Accompanying this voice was a figure appearing out of nowhere above the altar like a ghost. It was an elderly man in a green robe, with a muscular fra and a commanding presence.
The elder had long, gray-white hair draping down his back, eyebrows that exuded authority without anger, complenting his resolute, square face, naturally emanating an air of dignity.
"Uncle Master?!"
Upon seeing the elder’s face, Vigo Yorke involuntarily exclaid in astonishnt.
The next mont, he looked at the elder again, as if he had seen a ghost!
This face was not unfamiliar to him.
Of course, this didn’t an he had seen this elder before.
He recognized the elder because he had seen his portrait hanging in his ntor’s room.
"Uncle Master?"
Hearing Vigo Yorke’s exclamation, the robust elder couldn’t help but frown, as he didn’t recognize the person before him and was sure it was his first encounter with this individual today.
"Uncle Master, my ntor is ’Jax Lavoie’, and I am his last disciple, Vigo Yorke!"
Seeing the elder’s confusion, Vigo Yorke swiftly introduced himself with humility and respect.
At this mont, waves of shock surged in Vigo Yorke’s heart...
He could never have imagined:
His Uncle Master, who was also his ntor’s Uncle, was still alive!
Hadn’t he failed in his tribulation long ago?
"Considering the ti... it’s been over four thousand years since this Uncle Master failed his tribulation. This ans now he is a ’Four-Tribulation Scattered Immortal’?!"
Vigo Yorke’s heart trembled.
Though he knew several Scattered Immortals from the Human Demon Clan existed in the world, he wasn’t certain how many...
Until today, the only Scattered Immortals from the Human Demon Clan he knew of were his ntor ’Jax Lavoie’ and their clan’s ’Elder Ancestor’.
He knew about the clan’s Elder Ancestor because after becoming the Clan Chief, the previous chief had inford him of the Elder Ancestor’s existence and the way to contact him.
Therefore, he was here now!
As for other Scattered Immortals of the Human Demon Clan, he was unaware of their number or identity...
Now, seeing the elder before him, he realized:
Among the Scattered Immortals of the Human Demon Clan, there was his Uncle Master, Ronan Yorke!
"So you are the direct disciple of that child Nai Jiang, Vigo Yorke."
Hearing Vigo Yorke’s introduction, the elder, Ronan Yorke, let the coldness on his face fade away, replaced by a slight smile, "I have heard of you. You are now the Clan Chief of our Human Demon Clan."
"Vigo Yorke greets Uncle Master!"
This ti, Vigo Yorke formally bowed in respect to Ronan Yorke.
"But... why did you co personally to find the ’Elder Ancestor’? Has sothing happened within the clan? Even if sothing happened, it should be your ntor who cos to find the Elder Ancestor..."
Ronan Yorke frowned and asked.
Before today, Vigo Yorke didn’t know Ronan Yorke was still alive, but Ronan Yorke knew about ’Vigo Yorke’ as a junior and was aware that Vigo Yorke was now the Clan Chief of the Human Demon Clan.
Additionally, he knew that besides Vigo Yorke, Jax Lavoie — a ’Three-Tribulation Scattered Immortal’, and his Junior Nephew — currently led the Human Demon Clan.
In his perspective:
Even if sothing serious happened within the clan, it should be Jax Lavoie who seeks out the clan’s Elder Ancestor, not the junior Vigo Yorke.
Because of this, Ronan Yorke felt a faint sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"Master Granduncle, my ntor... has passed away."
Almost at the instant Ronan Yorke’s words fell, Vigo Yorke already began to murmur mournfully, his tone filled with sadness, causing the atmosphere around him to beco exceptionally oppressive at that mont.
"What?!"
"Jax... is dead?!"
As his sense of foreboding ca true, Ronan Yorke’s face suddenly changed drastically. He then glared at Vigo Yorke with wide eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who? Who killed Jax?!"
"Was it a Scattered Immortal of the ’Lion Demon Clan’ or the ’Tiger Demon Clan’?"
"Or perhaps... a Scattered Immortal of the ’Cow Demon Clan’?"
By the ti he finished asking, Ronan Yorke’s expression also beca increasingly gloomy.
The demon clans he ntioned were among the most powerful clans within the Demon Race.
Of course, besides those three demon clans, there is also their own ’Human Demon Clan’!
In Ronan Yorke’s view:
Across the entire Exile Plane, within the Demon Race, probably only the Scattered Immortals of those demon clans would have the courage to kill a Scattered Immortal of the Human Demon Clan!
"None of them..."
Vigo Yorke shook his head bitterly. Before he could finish speaking, Ronan Yorke urgently asked in a cold voice, "Then which clan’s Scattered Immortal did it?"
"I’d really like to know... apart from the Lion Demon Clan, Tiger Demon Clan, and Cow Demon Clan, which other demon clan dares to provoke our Human Demon Clan like this!"
As he spoke, Ronan Yorke’s tone grew increasingly cold, giving off an overwhelming sense of chill.
"My ntor... wasn’t killed by a Scattered Immortal from our Demon Race."
Vigo Yorke’s response instantly left Ronan Yorke montarily stunned, "Not by a Scattered Immortal of the Demon Race? Then... who killed him?!"
"Master Granduncle, our Human Demon Clan has now left the Exile Plane along with the Demon Race and invaded the ’Holy Domain Plane’ where humans reside, occupying the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land..."
Vigo Yorke now realized:
Ronan Yorke probably didn’t know that the Demon Race had already invaded the ’Holy Domain Plane’ where humans reside several years ago.
Therefore, he patiently began explaining, starting from how the Human Demon Clan invaded the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, occupying what once belonged to the human faction, the Mansion of Azure Clouds...
And continued to narrate the recent events.
This included the story of the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Wyatt Barnes’, infiltrating the Sacred Wander Palace and then succeeding in overcoming the ’Ascension Calamity’ alongside the Palace Master, achieving the state of ’half-step immortal’.
"Using the opportunity of another’s Ascension Calamity to simultaneously summon his own Ascension Calamity... and he successfully overca it?!"
Since in the history of the Demon Race, there had never been such a ’precedent’, even Ronan Yorke couldn’t help but feel dazed learning about this event.
However, what stunned him even more was yet to co!
"The Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Wyatt Barnes’, upon achieving the status of half-step immortal, demonstrated an auxiliary divine ability... that ability caused his strength to escalate, reaching an extrely exaggerated level!"
At this point, Vigo Yorke couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.
If he hadn’t crushed the ’Bloodfla Escape Charm’ promptly, he would have beco a vengeful spirit under Wyatt Barnes by now!
It should be known, even his ntor ’Jax Lavoie’, a genuine ’Three Calamity Scattered Immortal’, couldn’t withstand a single encounter against Wyatt Barnes and was killed with just one strike!
"Jax... was killed with just one strike?!"
"The sword strike that killed Jax didn’t just tear through the void but even left a ’void tear’ in the void that took about two cycles to fully heal?"
Learning all this from Vigo Yorke, Ronan Yorke was completely dumbfounded.
"This is impossible!!"
Looking at Vigo Yorke again, Ronan Yorke shook his head vigorously.
His reasoning told him:
An entity that had just beco a half-step immortal couldn’t possibly possess such formidable power!
Tearing through the void, leaving behind a void tear that takes two cycles to heal fully?
Such prowess, even he didn’t possess!
Even if he exerted himself fully to tear the void, the void tear created would heal completely in just a short period.
"Tearing the void, leaving behind a void tear that takes a cycle to heal fully... this can only be achieved by a ’Five Calamity Scattered Immortal’ or higher."
"Tearing the void, leaving behind a void tear that takes two cycles to heal fully... this likely can only be achieved by a ’Six Calamity Scattered Immortal’ or higher!"
Because of this, Ronan Yorke couldn’t believe:
An entity that had just achieved half-step immortal status could possess power equivalent to a ’Six Calamity Scattered Immortal’...
This was simply a ’tall tale’!
