Chapter 2496: Chapter 2494: The Saintess’s Choice
For instance, the ancient saintess, or him.
“You had to co because your presence allows to do the second thing, which is to lure Anthony Hodge here. I relaxed the concealnt power of the Heart of the Ocean, letting him detect a hint of your aura, making him mistakenly think you had secretly entered the demon race, and led him into Azure Rock Forest.”
Nicholas Williams’ voice began to sound weak, but he never stopped.
“The Crane was severely injured by , but I ultimately didn’t kill Anthony Hodge. Instead, I took a portion of his Heavenly Mystery Power. Consider this power and the Heart of the Ocean as compensation from my Williams clan.”
“I want to ask, why bring the ancient saintess in? She didn’t have to die.”
Ethan Smith felt a bit angry, as everything about Nicholas Williams was manipulation.
Even the lives of clan mbers were all turned into chips to gain his trust.
“Her? Originally, Anthony Hodge’s Heavenly Mystery Power and the Heart of the Ocean were what I left for her as a parting gift, but since she chose death herself, perhaps she felt she couldn’t face you, so I’ll give these things to you on her behalf…”
After saying this, Nicholas Williams’ voice fell silent.
“Run quickly, while the Crane is still facing off against Master Qi, or you won’t be able to escape…”
Ethan Smith suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He understood why the ancient saintess went to ambush the Azure Dragon earlier.
Indeed, as Nicholas Williams said, she had a great chance of surviving.
To ensure she could live on, Nicholas even went so far as to fragnt a droplet of the Source of Deadly Poison for her.
If she used it for defense, even the Four Great Divine Beasts wouldn’t dare co within a hair’s breadth of her.
But she chose to die herself, leaving Ethan Smith with a tinge of sadness.
On one side was the decree of the clan; on the other, the person she silently cherished.
At this mont, within Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul, energy strands that he couldn’t understand invaded his Divine Soul.
This portion of energy seed to alter the structure of his Divine Soul from its depths.
After the fusion of that power, Ethan Smith suddenly felt his Divine Soul’s resonance with the Path of Heaven intensify greatly.
At this point, he even seemingly sensed the extrely distant Sea of Destruction, though he still couldn’t utilize its Power of Heavenly Path.
However, he could indeed sense its general direction, as if with a single divine thought.
A third of his Soul Split reached the location of the Sea of Space, instantly triggering the Five Layer Power.
It rged onto his Soul Split, then transmitted to Ethan Smith’s main body.
He had never before so easily triggered the Five Layer Power, and this force was even more potent than before.
The space in front of him suddenly beca uneven.
Ten thousand-layer Singularity Space unfolded again, but this ti, the strength of each layer was much greater than before.
In the face of the Vermilion Bird’s explosive destructive power, it firmly withstood her full-force strike.
“Is this the power of The Chosen One? No wonder Anthony Hodge is so strong.”
Ethan Smith sighed a little, as even this re sliver of The Chosen One’s power greatly deepened his understanding of the Path of Heaven.
Boom!
The nine tails of the Nine-tailed Fox stood upright, with nine energy clusters rging again into a sphere of energy.
An energy ball once again struck the Singularity Space beside him, splitting the space open instantly.
Under the continuous full-force attacks of two Demonic Kings, the Singularity Space was unable to withstand this surging force.
Ethan Smith’s body was flung back wildly by the trendous force, and the Heart of the Ocean within his body suddenly turned into a form of energy.
It fused into his blood, transforming his body into a blue light in an instant.
Before any of the Demonic Kings could react, he disappeared before their eyes.
Leaving behind a furious group of Demonic Beasts, while the Crane watched as Ethan Smith fled far away.
Ultimately, he did not act; faced with the enraged Master Qi, he couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Master Qi also snorted coldly and vanished together with Anthony Hodge into Azure Rock Forest.
In this confrontation within Azure Rock Forest, the Azure Dragon, the leader of the demon race’s Four Great Divine Beasts, was severely injured.
This ancient Azure Dragon, close to nine thousand years old, had achieved the strength of Crossing Tribulation Fifth Layer.
Yet he lost to the Source of Deadly Poison; it not only heavily wounded his body but even tainted his Divine Soul with its toxin.
If not for the Azure Dragon’s inherent powerful Restoration ability, he would’ve fallen directly facing the Source of Deadly Poison.
anwhile, the family head of the Williams clan, Nicholas Williams, perished, with Anthony Hodge’s Destiny Energy reduced by a tenth.
Under the influence of the Source of Deadly Poison, the demon race experienced significant losses just within half a day.
Nearly a hundred thousand True Saints within the demon race were directly demoted in their Realm due to its effect.
Ethan Smith, at that mont, was traversing swiftly through the Water Elent; this thod of water escape was the most profound he had seen.
The Heart of the Ocean seed to possess its own magical artifact consciousness, even if it hadn’t been refined by him yet.
But the Heart of the Ocean appeared to execute Nicholas Williams’ will, forcefully carrying him out of Azure Rock Forest.
Moreover, the strands of blue Water energy quickly restored the injuries in his body.
Ethan Smith felt a sense of awe; this Heart of the Ocean was the most terrifying functional magical artifact he had encountered.
These water-escape passages and healing effects.
If used correctly, it might even allow a weaker opponent to defeat a stronger one with a high possibility.
And then there’s the Source of Deadly Poison; its terrifying offensive strength, Ethan Smith felt, even exceeded the power of the Five Layers.
However, this power required not only the aid of the Heart of the Ocean but also a deep understanding of the Water Elent.
This Source of Deadly Poison in the demon race was extracted by Nicholas Williams over several thousand years, sothing ordinary people could not access.
Upon reaching the outskirts of Azure Rock Forest, he could finally see the communication Jade Talisman within the Mount Suru World.
After eting up with Emily Taylor, the two headed straight for Nexinton Mountain at the fastest speed.
…
Inside Nexinton Mountain, after hearing the entire recount of recent events from Ethan Smith,
Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner looked sowhat at a loss, unsure how to judge Nicholas Williams.
If Ethan Smith had died in Azure Rock Forest, and the ancient saintess received Anthony Hodge’s Heavenly Mystery Power to return to the Human Guarding Alliance,
would Edwin Garner and Ella Jenkins take action against the Williams clan? Nicholas Williams was gambling that they wouldn’t, never expecting the ancient saintess to leave the hope of life to Ethan Smith.
“Not good! With Anthony Hodge’s Heavenly Mystery Power taken by Nicholas Williams, partly because Ethan Smith went to Azure Rock Forest, will they hold Ethan Smith accountable for this?”
Edwin Garner’s face suddenly changed drastically; he considered the most frightening possibility.
“But Ethan Smith was deceived into going, and this ti Nicholas Williams also used him as bait!”
Emily Taylor said anxiously.
“Who can testify for us? The three of us? If there’s the slightest possibility, it might incite an unrestrained wrath! With Master Qi’s power, if true punishnt is to be enacted, even the full strength of the Human Guarding Alliance would be helpless, needing soone with the sa level of power to resist.”
Edwin Garner’s face was extrely grim.
