As if it had gone mad, the silver furred ape howled insanely and had clearly descended into a frenzied state. A dark, vermilion fountain gushed from a deep gashing wound at the center of its gigantic left hand. The place where Aiden's ebony blade, Rygintarth have struck it!
In the night fog, nobody from Azure Myst Sect could see what was happening to the silver furred ape.
They could only make out the vague silhouette of the giant and the tiny ant-like man when they clashed against one another. After that, the flowing waterfall of blood gave a vague, but at the sa ti, unbelievable thought to the small Draconic Skinks.
The ebony blade shined with a cold shimr in the night.
*Slash!*
There was a crisp sound.
After emitting a stream of blood, one of the bloodshot eyes turned dark.
*Plop!*
The onlooking disciples and various martial artists gasped in shock.
Though they were not sure, from the sudden slash that they could only vaguely sense and the subsequent slushing sound, they were horrified about their vague guess of what could have happened.
In the next mont however their dreadful thought was confird.
"AAAAARGH! AW! AW! AAAARGH!" Yelping in imnse pain, the gigantic silver furred ape scread as it barged forward crazily.
So ancient remnant beasts that could not dodge in ti were ramd to death on the spot while so others were trampled into at sludge tragically without any corpse left behind!
With one of the leaders of the ancient beast tide severely wounded, the ancient beasts were dispersing!
Although everyone else could not see clearly against the night fog, Aiden, as well as his captains could.
In that short while, the silver furred ape had already gained dozens more wounds on its body that were so deep its bones could be seen. Its flesh was torn and its shining silvery fur was already stained with fresh blood.
The pure blooded ancient beast grabbed for its vile torntor that was now floating in mid-air before him, ready to smash him to the ground!
However before it could reach for him, the gray robed man's figure blurred and faded once more, escaping from the gigantic clutches once again. A couple dozen yards away just behind his opponent, Aiden erged once more.
*SLASH!*
He struck down once more, slashing down with Rygintarth diagonally drawing a clear line of scarlet at the large back of the beast.
"GRAWR!"
The gigantic silver furred ape had never suffered such injuries before and roared furiously as it grabbed for Aiden ready to smash him to the ground once again!
This ti, fueled by its unquenched, endless rage, the beast's speed suddenly skyrocketed! Even Aiden, could only see a blurry silhouette as it reached for him!
If that smash was realized, Aiden would definitely suffer even with his physique!
Suddenly two pairs of golden gemstones shined brightly. A trace of red began to seep into its center slowly from its edges.
*STAB!*
In mid-air, a black shadow darted by.
It was Rygintarth, Aiden's artifact sword and partner in cri, piercing through the silver furred gorilla's arm.
In that instant, blood gushed out in a stream and one of the silver furred gorilla's arm was crippled on the spot!
It fell limply to the side and the gigantic ancient beast's strength decreased. After evading to the right, Aiden fixed his stance in mid-air and glared at the silver furred ape coldly while licking its lips.
Seeing this, Aiden's captains heaved a sigh of relief.
In that short while, the silver furred ape, that was supposed to be impossible to beat had already an arm and there were dozens of wounds on its body that bled non-stop.
It panted heavily.
Whilst it initially blood would have been the trigger that fueled his increasing ferocity, but now, it was clear that the pure-blooded ferocious ancient beast was showing an unexpected emotion: The silver furred ape was afraid!
It was way too severely injured! Ever since it was born, it had never experienced such serious injuries. It was supposed to be the ruler of this world… he could already taste the next realm of existence!
What was happening to it, was simply too much for the ancient beast to process.
The silver furred ape sensed a hint of death.
Looking at that gray robed figure that was countless tis weaker than it close in, the silver furred ape felt an inexplicable sense of fear well in its heart while shattering his guts!
That fear seed to originate from the depths of its bloodline, from deep in the mories of its lineage.
As if recalling sothing, the silver furred ape shuddered. Its large eyes was filled with fear as it turned around and decisively fled without hesitation.
Aiden shook his head secretly upon seeing that, frowning at this scene.
He wasn't happy about his victory at all. He couldn't deal a decisive blow, and rely caused the beast to escape to a direction it would not be wise to follow.
The silver furred beast was escaping towards the rest of the other leaders of its kind whom were still in their own battles against the rest of the martial artist sects and clans.
He could only watch and give up his thoughts of claiming such an incredible walking mountain of ancient vital essence! It was too regrettable!
With a sigh, he turned around and led the Azure Myst Sect group ahead, sprinting in the direction of the Ancient Burial Ground ruins.
The beast tide had dispersed, leaving only a couple of scattered ancient remnant beasts that no longer posed much of a threat.
As their leader, the silver furred ape fled, the path ahead was clear.
On the other side, there were three other pure-blooded ferocious beasts that were keeping the Crystal Palace Sect, Malefic Demons Clan and all the other related parties outside.
The Azure Myst Sect was the first to arrive at the Ancient Burial Ground ruins!
Apart from Aiden who could still stand, Tai Liu and the rest were slumped on the ground, drenched in sweat. Their faces were pale as they panted heavily.
Everyone felt deeply exhausted after the journey!
The exhaustion ca not only from the body, but also from the spirit. The pressure of advancing at the boundaries of death where death was imminent was enough to make everyone feel exhausted!
Thankfully, they survived. Even if they lost many of their brethren, at that mont they were glad to be alive themselves.
They rushed out of the encirclent of the Ancient Demonic Flies, broke free of the Ancient Drill Wyrms pursuit, paved out a path from the beast tide and arrived at the Ancient Burial Ground ruins against the obstruction of the terrifyingly powerful pure-blooded ferocious beasts.
Everyone felt surreal.
They laughed to ease their tense hearts. It was an indescribable joy that ca from surviving a calamity.
Everyone revealed a hint of gratitude and reverence in their eyes as they gazed at the only figure that could remain standing among the crowd.
If not for that mysterious young man, they would have died a long ti ago.
Even the elderly uncle could not deny that he had underestimated this young man, Aiden still.
When he saw the ancient remnant beast tide, the old man had expected that the best outco was if 10% of their original force of disciples managed to survive.
Later, when he saw the pure-blooded ferocious beasts blocking the way, he already had the intention to retreat.
He truly hadn't expected that more than two-fifths of their Azure Myst Sect martial artists would have managed to arrive at the Ancient Burial Ground ruins alive under Aiden's lead!
Tai Liu raised her head slightly and looked at Aiden's back view with a dazed expression. She could not understand just who this young man was… Where did he co from to be this impossibly strong and powerful?
Suddenly, she was filled with imnse curiosity towards this mysterious young man.
Like her, many others were confused by the recent events. They could not understand what had happened.
So of the Azure Myst Sect disciples discussed softly as they consud elixirs to recover their strength.
After resting for a short while, Tai Liu stood up and clapped, declaring.
"[Reptilian] Everyone, now is not the ti to rest. Let's check out what treasures the Ancient Burial Ground has!"
"[Reptilian] Alright!"
Everyone replied.
The disciples supported one another and stood up, entering Azure Myst Sect under Tai Liu's lead.
Despite the passage of ti, many of Ancient Burial Ground were incredibly astounding and nothing what a normal burial place should be like. It was like a gigantic city, hidden away from prying eyes in this valley. Several palaces and buildings remained intact to this day surviving the erosion of ti.
Taking a deep breath, suddenly Aiden felt a familiar sensation he had not felt for the longest ti… He felt the air was filled with rich [Soul Power] energy and not just simple Mana!
This place… This place was actually an inheritance ground for his people, the Primals?
