Moreover, it involved a coffin encompassing the ancient nine dao techniques, which was like suddenly having a top-grade woman appear among a group of men.
Ethan Smith did not dare to hesitate and acted immediately. These people had just gone through a life-and-death battle, and the fighting spirit in their bodies was at an ebb. If they were to be stirred up again, things would become complicated.
“Brother, thanks!”
He left a message to Hicks who had helped him several times in the Mystic Realm this time, though he still didn’t understand why. He would certainly repay this debt of gratitude if the opportunity arose.
In a flash, his body turned into a streak of light and he left the Seventh-layer Purgatory, heading straight for Lornclould City.
Almost everyone was stunned, not expecting Ethan Smith to leave so abruptly.
At that moment, Ethan Smith’s speed was so fast that he appeared a thousand miles away in the blink of an eye, with no one able to pursue him.
“What a tremendous speed, does he have some kind of Spatial Treasure?”
A cultivator said, somewhat astonished.
“Definitely, but no matter, that Treasure is not destined for me anyway.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Since he fled, it shows his strength isn’t up to par. If we encounter him and attack without giving him a chance to react, we’ll surely be able to capture him!”
The cultivators discussed amongst themselves.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as I said, the only place he can stay is Lornclould City. I propose that everyone keeps an eye on him. As soon as there is information about him leaving the city, we gather immediately. This man is extremely vicious. Don’t be fooled by his True Saint Fourth Grade; his strength could be comparable to mine, and even I would not find it easy to defeat him,”
Situ Haoyue said loudly.
“What? Even you can’t easily defeat him? You must be joking, Mr. Situ.”
“Not only does he possess the Nine-lives Coffin, which the masked woman received by comprehending the nine lifetimes, but he also has the Tribulation Crossing Peak Divine Artifact Solin, so he is very difficult to deal with. However, his own strength is no better than a clay chicken or pottery dog. As long as we unite, even with a divine artifact, he won’t withstand the immense consumption.”
Gu Ming said sinisterly, his only wish was for Ethan Smith to join his son, Heath Perez, in death.
“Yes, both the Nine-lives Coffin and the Sorin Divine Artifact should be common property of human cultivators. At the very least, they should be shared with other human cultivators for joint study. Giving them to someone of True Saint Fourth Grade—what kind of rule is that?” freёnovelkiss.com
Under the instigation of the two, the nearby cultivators began to show interest and chatter among themselves.
“Punishing Evil, what do you think? It all comes down to your stance now. If you agree with my view, then not only must Ethan Smith hand over the masked woman, but also the Nine-lives Coffin and even the Sorin Divine Artifact.”
Situ Haoyue stared at Punishing Evil as he asked.
Punishing Evil’s attitude was crucial as he was the foremost figure of the largest sect. He stood up:
“In my battle with the masked woman, I had hoped to force her to use power beyond a True Saint’s, letting the Path of Heaven punish her, thereby ending her chances of reincarnation. However, I didn’t expect her to rather die than utilize the Tribulation Crossing Power. I get the feeling that the masked woman will not perish so easily.”
Punishing Evil floated up leisurely, speaking indifferently: “Should I deduce any connection between the masked woman and Ethan Smith, he will be slain without doubt.”
With that said, he left directly with Uncle Duncan and Emersyn Duncan. He, Punishing Evil, disdained such wheeler-dealing gatherings.
Punishing Evil suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood in the air, and his aura fluctuated wildly.
“Sect Master, are you alright?”
Emersyn Duncan asked worriedly, and her hands moved slightly as a green-hued healing spiritual energy flowed into Punishing Evil’s body.
“Sure enough, it is the masked woman. Had the current Path of Heaven not vigorously suppressed her, her mastery of eight Laws would have easily crushed me. But this battle has brought me many insights, and a rematch, if it comes to that, is uncertain in terms of outcome.”
Punishing Evil wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking faintly.
“Punishing Evil, when the masked woman died in battle, I used the Eye of Divine Soul, and at that moment, it seemed a wisp of breath transferred from the masked woman into Ethan Smith’s body.”
Uncle Duncan frowned and said,
“Did you see it clearly?”
The intensity in Punishing Evil’s expression suddenly grew solemn.
“The aftermath of the battle was too immense at that time, and that wisp of qi moved so swiftly, I’m not entirely sure,” Uncle Duncan shook his head.
“First, let’s return to the sect. After I finish my seclusion, I’ll try divining it again.”
Punishing Evil spoke in a calm voice.
…
At this moment, within Lornclould City,
Ethan Smith returned straight to the Moon Pavilion and entered the Sumeru Ring.
He began to re-enact the masked woman’s first dao of her Nine Worlds, his fingers moving constantly as if playing piano strings, manipulating the threads of laws, while a primordial aura occasionally emerged from him.
“How terrifying, it’s like a fierce beast from Ancient Times! If he really could grasp these ancient rules, I fear his power would rise to an extremely dreadful realm.”
Elder Baker and Heath Perez also watched Ethan Smith closely, for even a second enactment was just as precious to them.
Even a mere hint of understanding would be of great help in elevating their own realms.
Time slowly passed, but Ethan was stuck on the final step.
It was a critical moment, interrupted by Situ Haoyue, otherwise, he was certain he could have mastered this primordial dao technique.
Just by deduction alone, it’s too difficult to derive the Path of Heaven; Ethan ultimately gave up after pushing the evolution to its limit.
His body floated up in the sky of the Sumeru Ring.
With his eyes closed, suddenly, Ethan stretched out a punch.
He didn’t use any chaotic qi for this punch, but above his fist swirled the era’s distant qi.
The aura carried the momentum of creation, a mere fraction of its force seemed to have exceedingly terrifying power.
“Ethan Smith, stop it now! We can’t endure this momentum,” Elder Baker shouted loudly, his body sweating profusely, that kind of power was completely different from the Power of Annihilation.
“Sorry, I got lost in it for a moment,” Ethan sheepishly smiled.
“Such dreadful power, just now, I tried to sense that qi and nearly had my divine sense collapse. It comes from the ancient Primordial Chaos, back when chaos had just begun, and only the most savage species could survive. This murderous aura is something that only kings at the apex possess. Ethan, you must find a way to deduce this Power of Rules.”
The shock was evident on Elder Baker’s face.
Ethan was somewhat stunned, “Is it really that powerful?”
He himself hadn’t felt that this aura was so terrifying, but Elder Baker pointed up and said,
“You forgot, we’re inside the Sumeru Ring. In the outside world, where the Path of Heaven dominates, the older the pathways of heaven are, the more suppressed they become; that’s why you found it less terrifying.”
“When does the Path of Heaven complete a cycle, and what is its current state?”
Ethan sat down cross-legged on the ground and humbly asked Elder Baker for advice.
Although Elder Baker was not as powerful as Gu Ming, he had lived for even longer.
“The Path of Heaven ebbs and flows like the tides, and the Holy Region has always been at the tidal peak, which is also when more complete rules descend.
