Chapter 1069

Under one person.

"Cousin, this regenerative ability..." A bead of cold sweat slid down Ling Ling's forehead as she turned her gaze back to Lu Lin sitting beside her, curiously asking, "Can your Reverse Life Triple do that?"

Lu Lin slowly shook her head: "It's difficult."

"The Reverse Life Triple theory indeed can use Qi to construct any organ and damaged tissue of the body. However, the more precise and complex the tissue, the higher the difficulty of reconstruction and the slower the speed. For skin, muscle and such, recovery is relatively swift, but if it involves vital organs..." Speaking, Lu Lin cleared her throat and shifted the topic: "... Of course, with Tai Ye's current Reverse Life quality, repairing this damage is not difficult."

"This is troublesome." Zhang Chulan stroked his chin, watching the black-robed swordsman slowly rise again in the sky curtain, "This recovery speed shouldn't be worse than Hou Lei's, right? A wound like a pierced chest heals in the blink of an eye. Could this guy really have nothing to do with 【Abundance】?"

"Probably not related; healing the body is likely an ability given by Heichi itself. But speaking of which, why haven't we heard of such a powerful guy from Aglaea and the others before?"

Ling Ling knew well that when facing an unknown enemy, intelligence is crucial. Heichi has been eroding Weng Faluos for who knows how many years; it's impossible that they never clashed before, right?

"But judging from Xie Die's reaction, this black-clothed swordsman really is appearing for the first time." Lu Lin speculated, "I think Heichi also sensed the progress of the Fire Pursuit Journey through some means and specially dispatched this monster to stop it."

——

"Troublesome. People, do not waver, defeat them one by one." Na Ke Xia watched the black-robed swordsman rise again, shaking his head regretfully, "A sneak attack failed, so it's hard to succeed again... too bad."

"Xie Die exclaimed with joy: 'Na Ke Xia teacher? No... is it Se Xis?'"

Na Ke Xia did not respond, but focused on pulling out his gun to cooperate with Xing and Xie Die in battle.

However, after a round of fierce fighting, Xie Die and Xing were already exhausted, while the black-robed swordsman remained unscathed; his pierced chest wound healed in the blink of an eye, and the numerical advantage that several people prided themselves on collapsed instantly when the enemy summoned phantoms. In just a few breaths, they quickly fell into a disadvantage.

And Na Ke Xia's body, after suffering successive injuries, could no longer hold up, swaying on the verge of collapse: 'Not good...'

The black-robed swordsman surged upward, just about to strike down with a overhead slash——

Behind him, the void suddenly twisted, and a triangular gate shimmering with golden light appeared out of thin air!

"Hundred Realms Gate, open!"

Ti An flung her arms wide, gritting her teeth as she poured all her strength into activating the Hundred Realms Gate; this golden gate burst forth with an terrifying suction, for a moment the winds howled atop the Enlightenment Throne, sucking in all surrounding debris and air!

The black-robed swordsman struggled desperately, exerting all his strength to resist the gate's suction, and for a moment the two sides reached a stalemate.

But Ti An could no longer hold on; the drain of opening the Hundred Realms Gate almost instantly exhausted her, her petite frame trembling incessantly, relying solely on a single breath to contend with the opponent.

Suddenly, several black, mud-like tentacles extended from within the Hundred Realms Gate, writhing like living things to entwine the black-robed swordsman's limbs and torso, joining forces with Ti An's Hundred Realms Gate.

"Get in——go inside!"

As the tentacles exerted force together, the black-robed swordsman was completely pulled into the Hundred Realms Gate.

Seeing the crisis resolved, Ti An finally could not hold on, her vision went black, and she fell like a sheet of paper to the ground.

Slash of the Crimson Red Pupil

"This, this... is he still human? Only by Xie Die and Ti An working together to control him could they barely drag him into the Hundred Realms Gate..."

La Bo Ke stared wide-eyed, even momentarily doubting if he had seen wrong.

"Why can't even this kind of wound kill him? Is he stronger than a Titan? This, this... is totally unfair!!" Ma Yin slammed the table angrily, "Even if someone could beat him, they couldn't kill him; we need to summon an Envoy to deal with this guy!"

"No, this guy is a bit suspicious." Na Jie Ta took a deep puff of smoke, exhaling a thick cloud, "His strength is at least completely surpassing that of a rational Titan, but even a Titan couldn't possibly be an immortal body... otherwise how could the Fire Pursuit Journey be completed? If Heichi's origin truly relates to the star core, then this black-clothed swordsman's power source has an explanation."

【31】 "There's also a star core inside a star, right? And he's not that abnormal." Ma Yin pursed her lips, saying, "No matter how strong he is, can he stuff a star core into his body like a star does?"

【32】 Chelsea said: "The only thing we can be certain of is that the black-clothed swordsman's power definitely does not come from Weng Faluos—more precisely, his power comes from beyond this world. The power of this world was originally created by the Titans, and the Titans are the closest existence to the world's 'origin'; being able to so easily suppress a Titan is itself strange."

【33】 "If we let Dan Heng transform, maybe we could stall him for a moment, but we still couldn't kill him. If conditions allow, it would be best to let Wandi, who also has an immortal body, hold him off, buying others time to investigate his true identity."

【34】 ——

【35】 Not long after, outside the walls of Aohema.

【36】 "Xie Die let out a long breath: 'Phew… what a narrow escape. But fortunately, we have safely reached Aohema.'"

【37】 "'I just want to hide in the Holy City and never go out.'"

【38】 "This battle affected Ti An the most; right now her face is as pale as paper, she holds her forehead, can't even open her eyes: 'Um… little die, Ti An still has… a headache. Sorry… even though you told me, I shouldn't open the door…'"

【39】 "'No, Lady Ti An. If you hadn't stepped forward, we would already have been buried in the Shu Ting.'"

【40】 "'Ti An, I feel awful… I need to go back and sleep…'"

【41】 "Having said that, Ti An staggered away, turning her back and leaving."

【42】 "Xie Die worriedly watched Ti An's back: 'Lady Ti An, since you woke up, your condition has been terrible… is it really okay for you to go back by yourself?'"

【43】 "Na Ke Xia has also recovered his spirits this moment, looking around: 'Really noisy… Aohema is still the same old place.'"

【44】 "Xie Die cautiously and tentatively asked: '…Are you now, Teacher Na Ke Xia?'"

【45】 "'No need to doubt, that Titan hasn't made a sound. It is I, A Na Ke Sa Ge Luo Si of the Wise Seed School.'"

【46】 "'…Indeed, that's how I refer to myself.' Xie Die nodded, '…Teacher, I spoke plainly: the mission given to us by Lady Aglaea is to find survivors, clarify the origins of the Shu Ting disaster, and… retrieve Se Xis's fire seed.'"

【47】 "Upon hearing that woman's name, Na Ke Xia's expression was far from pleased: 'Well, I'm not at all surprised. As you can see, I am both a survivor and aware of the disaster's full story; even while bearing a fire seed, I have utterly no capacity to resist.'"

【48】 "'So, you intend to present me to Lady Aglaea for your report?'"

"There's also a star core inside a star, right? And he's not that abnormal." Ma Yin pursed her lips, saying, "No matter how strong he is, can he stuff a star core into his body like a star does?"

Chelsea: "The only thing we can be sure of is that the black‑clad swordsman's power definitely does not come from Ulfrath—more accurately, it comes from beyond this world. The power of this world was created by the Titans, the beings closest to the world's origin. The fact that he can so easily overpower a Titan is itself strange."

【32】 Chelsea said: "The only thing we can be certain of is that the black-clothed swordsman's power definitely does not come from Weng Faluos—more precisely, his power comes from beyond this world. The power of this world was originally created by the Titans, and the Titans are the closest existence to the world's 'origin'; being able to so easily suppress a Titan is itself strange."

If we let Dan Heng transform, we might be able to stall him for a moment, though we couldn't kill him. If the circumstances allow, it's best to let Wandi, who also possesses an immortal body, hold him off, giving the others time to investigate his true identity.

【33】 "If we let Dan Heng transform, maybe we could stall him for a moment, but we still couldn't kill him. If conditions allow, it would be best to let Wandi, who also has an immortal body, hold him off, buying others time to investigate his true identity."

【34】 ——

Soon after, at the outskirts of Ohema.

【35】 "Not long after, outside the walls of Aohema."

Xiaodie let out a long breath: "Phew… that was a narrow escape after another. But fortunately, we finally made it safely to Ohema."

【36】 "Xie Die let out a long breath: 'Phew… what a narrow escape. But fortunately, we have safely reached Aohema.'"

"I just want to hide in the Holy City and never go out."

【37】 "'I just want to hide in the Holy City and never go out.'"

This battle has affected Tiyan the most; right now her face is as pale as paper, she's holding her forehead, she can't even open her eyes: "Ugh… little butterfly, Tiyan still… has a headache. Sorry… even though you told me not to open the door…"

【38】 "This battle affected Ti An the most; right now her face is as pale as paper, she holds her forehead, can't even open her eyes: 'Um… little die, Ti An still has… a headache. Sorry… even though you told me, I shouldn't open the door…'"

"No, Lady Tiyan. If you hadn't stepped forward, we would have already been buried in the tree garden."

【39】 "'No, Lady Ti An. If you hadn't stepped forward, we would already have been buried in the Shu Ting.'"

"Tiyan, I feel awful… I need to go back and sleep…"

【40】 "'Ti An, I feel awful… I need to go back and sleep…'"

Having said that, Tiyan staggered as she turned and walked away.

【41】 "Having said that, Ti An staggered away, turning her back and leaving."

Xiaodie watched Tiyan's retreating figure with worry: "Lady Tiyan, since you woke up your condition has been terrible… is it really alright for you to go back on your own?"

【42】 "Xie Die worriedly watched Ti An's back: 'Lady Ti An, since you woke up, your condition has been terrible… is it really okay for you to go back by yourself?'"

Nakesha also regained his composure, looking around: "It's so noisy… Ohema is still the same as ever."

【43】 "Na Ke Xia has also recovered his spirits this moment, looking around: 'Really noisy… Aohema is still the same old place.'"

Xiaodie asked cautiously and tentatively: "…Are you now Teacher Nakesha?"

【44】 "Xie Die cautiously and tentatively asked: '…Are you now, Teacher Na Ke Xia?'"

"No need to doubt, the Titan has fallen silent. It is I, Anathesa Gorgolas of the Scholarly School of Wisdom."

【45】 "'No need to doubt, that Titan hasn't made a sound. It is I, A Na Ke Sa Ge Luo Si of the Wise Seed School.'"

"... Calling yourself that is indeed correct." Xiaodie nodded, "... Teacher, I'll be frank: Lady Agraeya's mission for us is to find survivors, uncover the cause of the tree garden disaster, and… retrieve the fire seed of Seshis."

【46】 "'…Indeed, that's how I refer to myself.' Xie Die nodded, '…Teacher, I spoke plainly: the mission given to us by Lady Aglaea is to find survivors, clarify the origins of the Shu Ting disaster, and… retrieve Se Xis's fire seed.'"

Upon hearing that woman's name, Nakesha's expression was far from pleasant: "Well, I'm not surprised at all. As you can see, I am both a survivor and I know the full story of the disaster, and while I bear a fire seed, I have absolutely no ability to resist."

【47】 "Upon hearing that woman's name, Na Ke Xia's expression was far from pleased: 'Well, I'm not at all surprised. As you can see, I am both a survivor and aware of the disaster's full story; even while bearing a fire seed, I have utterly no capacity to resist.'"

"So, you intend to present me to Lady Agraeya for her report?"

【48】 "'So, you intend to present me to Lady Aglaea for your report?'"
