The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 886: Valefor's Adventure



The Profound Pearl of Life, Primordial Avatar, and Death Eaters were only one part of Goddess Thyia's inheritance under the arrangement of the Lord of Chaos.

On the other hand, the Divine Refining Life Art appeared to be Goddess Thyia's sole inheritance, designated for her true successor.

Only when the Profound Pearl of Life and Divine Refining Life Art were paired together would their true value be utilized.

If the inheritor didn't show kindness to the Wood Spirits of the Garden of Thyia, the Divine Refining Life Art would have never revealed itself.

'Was this fate or just luck?' Vaan briefly wondered.

Shortly after, he shook his head and told Elder Willowthorn, "This Divine Refining Life Art should be the final piece of inheritance left behind by Goddess Thyia. There don't seem to be any restrictions on who can cultivate it."

"Make sure your people learn it well, Senior. Just consider it as Goddess Thyia's gift."

"Thank you, my Lord!"

According to the divine text, the refinement of life energy didn't specify any special circulation through certain physiques; it only required high control and affinity with life energy.

As such, any biological or spiritual lifeform could learn the Divine Refining Life Art as long as they had the ability.

Although Vaan had already learned a powerful cultivation method, he figured the healing skills derived from the Divine Refining Life Art could be useful for emergencies.

Thus, he also decided to learn the divine art alongside the Wood Spirits.

"Other Me, we are switching. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't cause trouble to me and my people," Vaan informed before kicking Valefor out of the Profound Pearl of Life and taking his place.

"As if I have a choice," Valefor coldly snorted with displeasure.

However, Valefor did not complain or defy Vaan's decision.

Compared to dull cultivation or potioneering research inside the Profound Pearl of Life, exploration freedom was obviously more fun and desirable.

Strictly speaking, the current Valefor was the same Valefor from the original timeline but more of a clone of the person. From another perspective, Valefor was just Vaan roleplaying another persona with his divided consciousness.

While it might seem childish to those who know the truth, it was something Vaan had to do due to Valefor's extremely contrasting experience and personality.

Chaos and order coexisted but did not mix.

Only through memory separation and thought organization could Vaan prevent Valefor's overbearing Asura Law from influencing and corrupting his other laws. It would have affected the trajectory of his path.

The Lord of Chaos must have prepared the Primordial Avatar because he had foreseen this and not just due to his guilt toward Valefor.

However, thanks to this arrangement, it was possible for Vaan to pursue two completely different paths in a single lifetime.

To be one person but live the life of two.

Perhaps an extraordinary result was awaiting him at the end of these two roads.

...

"Is this Purpleflame Territory's deep underground region? It's been a while..." Valefor calmly observed his surroundings within the dark tunnel.

Shortly after, he directly sliced the space in front of him, creating a spatial rift before passing through it.

It took a while for the spatial rift to close after Valefor's departure.

Although Valefor had performed a spatial leap, he did not utilize the Spatial Law. Instead, he used the overbearing Asura Law to interfere with space.

As such, his spatial leap wasn't clean and left lingering traces that allowed trackers to follow.

Valefor's spatial travel didn't require technical skills, just brute force.

Moments later, Valefor stepped into a land of scorched earth and raging fire. The devastated world seemed absent of life, but the deep resentment and anguish hidden in the land revealed its once-flourishing history.

He had arrived on the surface of the Purpleflame Territory.

If Vaan had been paying attention to Valefor, he would have been dumbfounded by the latter's destination.

Since Valefor was instructed not to cause trouble for Vaan's people, he had actually gone out to play where his people weren't around.

Shortly after Valefor arrived in the burning land, the purple flames began to burn erratically and congregate towards his location.

The dry wind howled furiously before eerie silence replaced it, signifying the calm before the storm.

It was a sign that the burning land did not welcome nor tolerate Valefor's presence.

"Fire Fiends, huh?"

Valefor calmly observed the surrounding purple flames.

Although the so-called Fire Fiends were nowhere to be seen, Valefor was aware they had already surrounded him. They were hidden within the eternally burning purple flames.

While the Fire Fiends were hidden in the purple flames, they didn't have a fixed form and could be regarded as the purple flames themselves.

Under this state, the Fire Fiends were protected by the Eternal Purpleflame, making them almost impossible to kill due to their invulnerability to physical attacks. At the same time, energy-base and magical attacks were also ineffective unless they were stronger than the Eternal Purpleflame.

Only soul attacks that could target the Fire Fiends' source of existence directly were effective.

At that moment, the Fire Fiends were hiding within the Eternal Purpleflame, waiting for a chance to sneak attack Valefor and reap his life in a single move.

But despite Valefor's seemingly unguarded stance, the Fire Fiends appeared quite wary, as if Valefor had no openings.

"I understand your anger and resentment. You must have all died unjustly..." Valefor calmly stated, appearing sympathetic to the poor souls who had been wronged.

But then, his soft gaze suddenly became ferocious in the next moment. His palm plunged straight into the nearby Eternal Purpleflame, clasping onto a single Fire Fiend before ripping

it out by the neck.

The Fire Fiend was easily caught and forced to face Valefor's grim gaze directly.

"However, I do not tolerate hostilities directed at me just because I understand. If you don't want to die, you all better start behaving in my presence. Is that clear?" Valefor strictly warned, seemingly unaffected by his burning hand.

The Eternal Purpleflame could not damage his body.

Meanwhile, the Fire Fiends surprisingly reined in their hostilities with shrunk necks after receiving Valefor's stern warning. Their anger and resentment were suppressed by greater rage and resentment spilling out of Valefor's body.

At the same time, a speck of intelligence seemed to have appeared within their empty eye

sockets.
