"Immortality?" Garen snickered, unable to hold back hisughter, "If you just look at my body, it’s almost an example of immortality, but...." He suddenly remembered the Cthulhu King from Totem World, and his smile faded away.
"In this world, there is no true immortality. Even if the body does not die, the soul will eventually decay. You have to understand this."
He also thought of his first encounter with Demon Phoenix. That powerful woman who imed to be immortal, in the end, was sealed until her brain went strange. Maybe it was due to her soul.
"What is truly eternal in this world? Considering all things in the world, even rocks will turn to dust, melted due to high temperature or eroded by acids. Gold can exist for thousands of years but is hardly able to withstand high temperature. Life and death cycle endlessly and reproduces nonstop. Seemingly long, but in the face of the entire universe, it might be that life and death only have a slightly longer expiration date."
"What about thoughts? When knowledge leaves its mark, it might get handed down longer than thousands of years?" Xiao Ying asked after thinking seriously.
"It’s still within the cycle of reproduction of humans." Garen patted Xiao Ying’s hair and gently pinched her cheeks while gazing at her lowered head and blushing face. "Don’t ponder it so much, you’re still in the period of enjoying your youth."
"Yes..." Xiao Ying had never enjoyed such a warm and rxing sense of security. Ever since she was young, Ying Er had always been strict with her, and there had never been any gentle touches like just now. After the sudden changes in her life, although her adoptive parents treated her in a good way, she still had to live in fear every day. With the pressure from Southern Sky Gate, there was never a moment of rest.
In her enjoyment, she moved closer towards Garen. Herplexion was turning redder by the minute. Sneaking a glimpse at Garen, he was looking down beneath the spire. He seemed to have found something interesting as his eyes revealed his amusement.
Suddenly, a blurred white figure shed by,nding a short distance from Garen’s side. That figure had a long sword at the waist, a handsome appearance, a gray beard covering at his chin and a pair of eyes dazzling like the brightest stars under the moonlight.
Xiao Ying had never seen anyone with eyes that could seemingly emit light with glimmers of silver.
That man’s short white hair was fluttering about in the wind, yet his eyes were only on the leaning Garen.
"It’s been sixteen years, you have also grown old," Garen said.
That man’splexion turned weird.
"I think you have the least qualification to say that."
Garen touched his chin. It was smooth, indeed.
He smacked his lips. His body had Fire and Ice Spirit Evil Arts. Without any interference, his body aged slower than normal people.
"Where’s Nightmare?"
Andr’splexion turned dark. "Have you heard of Gic Meltdown?"
Garen stiffened.
"After you disappeared for three years, she bled all over her body. I tried everything I could to save her." Andr said calmly, "Maybe it’s Heaven’s punishment for recklessly modifying her body."
Garen also felt that King of Nightmares’ body was strange. Such frequent changes to the body constitution would cause destabilization. Now that it happened, sure enough...
Andr was calm as though he’d been talking about people unrted to him.
"After her death, I immediately took over her forces and acted as though there is still King of Nightmares. This way, the Star Ring Door and Siren Group would be able to be preserved even more. Unfortunately, the Divine Master saw through that ruse. We fought three times. I was heavily injured and he only suffered small injuries. This time, he even went through a breakthrough."
"So intense?" Garen’s eyebrows twitched.
"Compared to the old you, it was only one step away, but since you came back, I feel relieved now." Andr finally showed a gentle smile.
"Rather than Divine Master, I have a much more important matter to discuss with you."
"Oh?"
Xiao Ying at the side stared with her eyes wide open. She could not guess the rtionship between these two. They could be said to be good friends but when one member died, Garen showed no sadness, only slight dejection.
Garen pinched Xiao Ying’s cheeks and smiled.
Since he met one of his old friends, some things should speed up. Especially after he saw Ying Er’s grave, he’d be even more desperate.
"Since you are here,e out then. ying hide-and-seek was not the style of Cayduran." He looked around, then stood up at the top of the spire, which was tens of meters tall.
He suddenly felt dispirited. With the power he had now, if he had to face against this world’s top forces again, it would be like an adult beating up a kindergartener. The gap might perhaps be evenrger.
Was it his fate to return here in order to beat up crying children?
With the sound of swishing wind, two more figures appeared at the spires opposite of him.
Under the night sky, there were two men wearing silver clothes outside the tower suspended in the air as though stepping on solid ground.
The two of them stood side-by-side. The man at the left had a weird appearance. The left half of his face appeared manly while his right half appeared feminine. He had a strong body yet he wore earrings and ne that only females would wear. He also had his nails polished pink. When the wind blew over, there was a strong scent of perfume.
On the other hand, the man at the right side was unrecognizable. His face was marred by numerous burn scars. He only had one of his eyes open while the other seemed to be of no use.
With only a glimpse of this guy, Garen recognized him right away.
"mingo?" he eximed.
"It’s me." The disfigured guy nodded slightly, "I didn’t think it was really you, Garen." For masters standing at the top, the dispositions they were familiar with over the years, they could still recognize them easily. asdangixaw
His hand still hold that Sword of the Sprites. Under the moonlight, the crimson sword seemed to have a faint luster of silver.
"I can’t believe you’re still alive." Garen was angry; the scene of the graves of those sprites was still fresh in his memories.
He scanned the darkness below the tower. Those densely packed hidden figures were like torches in the dark, much too obvious to his senses.
"I’ll give you guys a chance, alle at me."
"Arrogant!" The guy who was neither male nor female snapped.
"The so-called Divine Master is only this much?" Garen took a brief look at him. From the level of his strength, he was the strongest among them. To be stronger than mingo, then he could only be the Divine Master.
"Never imagine that after Sylphn died, the sessor is this kind of trash."
He clenched his right hand and blue mist wafted through his surroundings.
An ice blue crystal halberd slowly crystallized in his hand.
The halberd was the length of a person and covered in a myriad of fine and exquisite silver runes. A blue-ck snake curled around the top, its slender body covered in countless hard scales just like a dragon crawling around.
Divine Master and mingo did not reply but the look on their face turned solemn. The pressure released by Garen was like the sea, centering on the eye of the storm and spreading the freezing energy outwards.
"Ancient Secret Martial Skills..." Divine Master whispered, his eyes dyed in the color of frenzy, "King of the Century...it’s really the King of the Century!"
The solidification of aura involved real matter and not merely organisms. This realm was the legendary King of the Century. What Garen was doing right now was precisely that.
If they were using telekinesis to float in the air, then the act of Garen materializing weapon without the usage of telekinesis and rely solely on aura could only be aura solidification.
Hong!!
A silver halo emerged out of Divine Master surrounding his body and at the same time a fiery red halo also emerged out of mingo’s body. The surroundings of the both were dyed in the color of silver and red respectively.
In the distance, the non-Grandmaster of Combat gunmen that were hiding in ambush suddenly grabbed their eyes. ‘Pop, pop’ sounds of eyeballs bursting appeared constantly. Among the screams and wails, the top executive of Weisman Empire threw a punch at the wall furiously but did not dare to look at the tower.
For Grandmaster of Combat of the realm of Divine Master, at the moment he released his aura, the sudden changes that came would cause anyone hostile towards him to be attacked.
"Even looking directly...is not possible..." the top executive bit his lower lip, unaware that it was bleeding.
There was no vibration in reality but in the eyes of Grandmaster of Combat that was spectating, it was as though the Heaven and Earth were shaking.
Ji!!
Above the tower, a huge fire peacock and a double-headed silvery white bird appeared. The two monsters pped their wings and soared towards Garen who was standing at the tower.
Those were illusions created by auras. There was no actual physical damage but it could cause mental damage to living things.
The moment the red peacock and double-headed silvery white bird reached the tower, a line of blue silver lit up in front of them.
The arc-shaped line of fire shed by. In a mere moment, it had struck countless times against the mingo and Divine Master’s swords.
There was no resistance. Through the swords, the blue fire on the halberd spread and burned both of them.
Garen stored his halberd. In the Totem World, he had in countless real monsters, not to mention monsters formed by auras.
He had originally thought that the Divine Master would have some surprise for him. In the end, there were no changes. He did not even bring out a tenth of his strength but the duo crumbled with just a touch.
The fusion power the Living Secret Technique disyed was like a living being. It lit up both of them and burned them like barrels of fuel.
Andr and Xiao Ying were originally watching alertly at the side but the battle had ended in the blink of an eye. The two were stunned as though they were meeting Garen for the first time. Looking at the two blue mes burning brighter than ever, then looking at the calm look on Garen’s face, they were utterly speechless.
Ding.
Suddenly, a silvery white ring fell from Divine Master.
Surprisingly, the ring was not melting under the raging fire. It rolled out of the fire and headed towards the bottom.
Garen waved his hand, sucking the ring onto his palm.
With a snap, the figure of Divine Master and mingo froze in the blue fire and shattered into countless blue fragments. The fragments were then blown away by the wind like droplets of rain.
Even the Crimson Sword of the Sprites turned into blue fragments.
The halberd in Garen’s hand also shattered at the same time, turning into countless ice fragments and disappeared. He took a look at the ring in his hand. The figure of a double-headed bird was carved on it.
"So, it has always been in the hand of the Divine Master. This thing..." Andr gave Garen aplicated look.
"What do you want to say?"Garen turned around to face him.
"Still remember the goal that we set?"
"You found a clue?" Garen felt curious.
"A clue that left me helpless, perhaps the way you are now may have a solution." Andr smiled bitterly.
