Chapter 2777: At the Bottom of the Cliff
"Once it's used, even if I wield my Pinnacle Force, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to compete with her. Fortunately, due to a fortunate mistake, the First Hermit appeared and saved my life."
"Her cultivation skill is truly bizarre; her entire body seems to be controlled by blood, every part of her body is a lethal weapon."
Thinking about the fighting style of Ethan Smith before, no wonder this power appears so uncanny.
"She's merely the one being controlled. The core is that Skeleton Force, which is the real mysterious core. Once someone is possessed by that thing, no matter who it is, they will turn into that strange form, and once this eeriness comes into being, it's extremely hard to kill. Even if the head was just chopped off, I'm afraid she hasn't died. Moreover, the one together with her, Keaton Bian, is even stronger to the point of being bizarre. Over the years, many have died at his hands, including some at the very pinnacle."
Aiden stared at Ethan Smith, providing him with a detailed explanation.
Ethan Smith also felt intrigued; it was his first encounter with such a peculiar power.
"If you decide to go, you must avoid several places, as they are home to the most formidable and strange beings. Afterward, gathering other forces shouldn't be a big issue."
"Does this power have any special characteristics? Why are the Order's Guardians intent on collecting it specifically?"
Ethan Smith asked curiously.
"That's unclear, but this power brings extreme impact to people. If someone has a steadfast mind, perhaps it can aid in some cultivation?"
Aiden wasn't entirely sure.
"Since that's the case, shall we head straight there?"
Ethan Smith was curious as well.
"By the way!"
Frederick Cohen suddenly shouted, startling Ethan Smith.
He took out a piece of jade butterfly, with flowing light turning on it.
After placing his palm on it, a circle of brilliance emerged.
The face of Ethan Smith then appeared on it.
"Sure enough, it's you, this guy. It's a Wanted Order from the Order's Guardians, Heavenly Path Institute, and Above the Dome. I just said something amiss, it must be you to cause such a big stir."
Frederick Cohen knocked his head hard.
"Don't you find it too convenient? Right before Ethan Smith arrived here, Frederick Cohen, you received the message from Ythran at the bottom of the cliff. You know that the influence of these three sects almost covers the whole Holy Kingdom, perhaps they already had your information when you were on the spaceship."
Aiden shook his head, the Elf Clan's thoughts were cautious.
He immediately sensed something was off.
"What the hell, if anything happens, just deal with it directly! I don't care about these little nuances."
Frederick Cohen said with a sinister grin.
"Such a brute."
Aiden rolled his eyes.
Thinking about dealing with this guy, he turned his gaze to Ethan Smith.
"Well said, let's just do it then!"
Ethan Smith sneered.
You...
"Coward, just get lost if you're scared."
Frederick Cohen swallowed the large chicken leg in his hand in one gulp, then crunched the bones.
Aiden rolled his eyes again, simply ignoring Frederick Cohen.
"Aiden, if you don't want to go, don't feel obliged. Back then, the trade with you, acquiring your Heart of the Holy Kingdom Vessel, helped me achieve the breakthrough in Seal Demon Valley."
Ethan Smith roughly understood what Aiden was thinking.
The Elf Clan values promises highly, and Aiden once swore when exchanging the Sun Chasing Bow.
If he left Seal Demon Valley alive, he would follow Ethan Smith for three years. They didn't expect to reunite here.
"I'll go with you."
Aiden suddenly said steadfastly.
"The promise is one part, but the most important reason is realizing my own ignorance. Only after entering the villages of the Path Profound Holy Kingdom did I see how insignificant my talent was. The Divine Fire Rune the Queen acquired at great cost allowed me to enter here, and I used to believe confidently that I would stand at the top of this Holy Kingdom, but as my power grows, I find my situation increasingly ridiculous."
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith was somewhat silent, as he was no different.
Even if he tried his hardest, he still couldn't see the dawn of Eternal Night.
Especially after experiencing the Heavenly Sin Tomb in Ethereal Soaring City, this feeling of helplessness might completely crush him.
"In that case, let's set off."
Ethan Smith stated calmly.
Aiden led the way ahead, narrating the situation at the bottom of the cliff to Ethan Smith and Frederick Cohen.
"There is a small path excavated leading to the bottom here. It's best to walk down slowly, then decide the next move based on the circumstances. Otherwise, if you rashly fly down, causing a big stir, even someone above Ninth Level of the Path Realm would find it hard to survive."
These are blood-ridden lessons, circulating among the tales here.
Even top experts of Thirteenth-Level Path Realm have fallen here directly.
Ethan Smith and Frederick Cohen nodded. Their lack of fear towards danger didn't mean they were fools.
The three walked on a trail only wide enough for one person, the scene before them was pitch black.
Ethan Smith snapped his fingers, igniting a small flame ahead.
With the Chaos Ancestral Fire burning, the miasma in front unexpectedly parted.
Even the originally chilling air suddenly became much warmer.
"What is this thing? My body seems to be fearing it?"
Frederick Cohen was extremely curious.
"Chaos Ancestral Fire, you'd better not touch it."
Ethan Smith observed the ambitious Frederick Cohen and promptly advised.
"Is it one of the three Divine Fires of Primordial Chaos, Chaos Ancestral Fire?"
Aiden was greatly startled, stopping his steps to keep a certain distance from Ethan Smith.
"No worries, it won't lose control."
Seeing Aiden's reaction, Ethan Smith couldn't help but laugh.
With the Heavenly Dew of Earth plus his significant progress in divine sense.
It's not difficult to control a small flame of Chaos Ancestral Fire.
The group cautiously descended the narrow stairway, surrounded by an eerie silence, and the light footsteps on the ground were clearly audible.
A sound resembling a baby's cry suddenly echoed in the darkness in front.
Despite the preparation, Ethan Smith's body bristled with the sudden sound.
"Be careful, there may be eeriness here, no living creature can survive here unless parasitized humans or Demon Beasts!"
Aiden warned promptly.
As the group descended further, the horrific crying sound grew increasingly clear.
In the glow of the Chaos Ancestral Fire, a ferocious and ghastly head suddenly appeared ahead.
Her cheeks slowly melted away, revealing the eerie white bone inside.
The sinister pupils stared fixedly at the three descending individuals.
Even as her entire body melted, her expression remained unchanged.
As if lacking pain receptors, the sight made Frederick Cohen's hair stand on end.
"What the hell is this! It seems like an Evil Ghost?"
