Chapter 2560: Chapter 2558: The Doomed War

"Huh?"

That figure suddenly paused, showing a look of confusion, and lingered for a moment.

He realized that the trail he was pursuing had been completely severed and finally turned back.

"I’ve remembered your aura. You can’t escape. I’m very curious about the means to cut the line of destiny."

Ethan Smith listened to the hoarse voice within the Star Cloud Map and finally let his tense body relax.

His body collapsed powerlessly onto the spot, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death great war.

"You reckless brat, if you want to die, don’t drag me down with you. You actually dared to spy on the Saint’s Realm. If it hadn’t been discovered in time, he would have tracked you down in another second and completely destroyed you."

Yao the Immortal Emperor’s angry voice echoed in Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge.

"How could I have known the Saint was so abnormal, being able to track my true form with just a trace of aura."

Ethan Smith said with a bitter smile. This short moment was hard for anyone to believe.

He had actually spied on a real Saint’s Realm and was being pursued by a Saint.

"But I’m a bit curious. How did you know that guy was chasing you? With your power, you shouldn’t be able to detect the traces of a Saint."

"Just lucky, lucky."

Ethan Smith laughed slyly, naturally not revealing the Star and Moon Shine Together skill technique to Yao the Immortal Emperor.

Although Yao the Immortal Emperor had helped him a lot, their relationship was based on a mutual exchange of interests. He couldn’t grasp the depth of Yao the Immortal Emperor.

Humph.

Yao the Immortal Emperor snorted coldly, clearly sensing Ethan Smith’s perfunctory response.

But Ethan Smith couldn’t be bothered with him, as he pondered everything he had just seen.

Whether it was the battle between races or other factors, everything seemed more complex than he imagined.

For instance, the Heavenly Path Prison was crafted jointly by the Eighteen Saint Nations. Perhaps the Saints didn’t have such a complex bias as those below the fifth rank?

Otherwise, how could they collaborate to create a realm that imprisons all living beings? Or perhaps if it served the interests of the Saints, everything could be negotiated, like the destruction of the Hominini race.

"Have you gained anything?"

A voice pulled him back from his thoughts, as Mysterious Heart softly asked beside him.

"Somewhat. What has happened here?"

Ethan Smith’s gaze fell within the Mysterious Sword Sect’s sect, where the air was tinged with the scent of blood, and his face showed a look of astonishment.

He had just been completely immersed in the world of the All-Embracing Pupil, oblivious to the changes that had occurred.

"Hmm? The aura of a Sky Demon?"

Ethan Smith’s expression suddenly turned serious.

"Uncle Master Ziyang detonated all the magical artifacts’ skill techniques’ restrictions within the sect. Under the provocation of the Sky Demon, a purge just occurred here, with nearly six hundred people dying at the hands of their own."

"Why not stop it?"

Ethan Smith asked with a frown. Given the strength of the Heavenly Mystery Sword Sect and the presence of a Saint, it should have been able to suppress this riot.

"This conflict is a battle of Tao between Ziyang and the sect master. Ziyang saw the dark end of that Tao and wanted to cut off all ties here. Their confrontation had long begun, and the victor was to be decided by the final intent of the Tao."

Mysterious Heart closed his eyes and said no more.

Ethan Smith didn’t quite understand. It seemed to involve a battle of philosophies between two Taoist Saints.

"You intercepted one of Ziyang’s strikes in the final confrontation, which makes you one of Ziyang’s ties. In this battle, you are inevitably one of the key figures observed by the Demon clan. Prepare your body for peak condition and get ready to face the arrival of the Demon clan..."

Mysterious Heart suddenly said.

...

Ethan Smith felt speechless. He only saw the dark reality Ziyang beheld, but he didn’t gain any advantages. Instead, he unwittingly became one of a Saint’s ties.

He immediately sat back up, mobilizing the power of the Retribution Seal to replenish his recently spent Divine Soul.

This time, the All-Embracing Pupil had undergone a significant change compared to the desolate divine eye. Now, his pupil power could not only analyze the origin.

His pupil power could even start to materialize, possessing formidable destructive power, potentially even destroying the Heavenly Path Prison from the core.

He couldn’t compare this power, but it seemed to be a form of energy that surpassed his Primordial Force.

"Father, what exactly happened to you? Why did you leave so many contingencies? Could it be that even with your means, it’s not enough to handle it?"

Ethan Smith thought with a bitter smile. He was now certain that his father, whom he had only seen a few times in the Sea of Knowledge, had left behind numerous measures.

The desolate divine eye combined with the Retribution Seal of Saint Morning Frost to eventually form the All-Embracing Pupil.

This eye, according to Mysterious Heart, seemed to have once belonged to his father.

Judging by its current power, it was defying the heavens. It could not only help him enter the Saint’s World and spy on the Eighteen Saint Nations.

But also cut off the line of destiny and isolate the pursuit of a Saint.

The inverse power of the Star and Moon Shine Together skill technique even allowed him to spy on a Saint.

He seemed worried about anyone spying on his arrangements, thus he made many concealments.

Like the true form of the All-Embracing Pupil, which Ethan Smith only discovered today.

Father, what exactly are you facing that even you cannot match?

After a long time, Ethan Smith finally reined in his scattered thoughts and slowly began to restore his spent Divine Soul.

When he reached his peak condition again, he once more activated the All-Embracing Pupil.

For this eye, there were still many aspects he had not fully understood, hoping to decipher its power as much as possible during the great war for maximum enhancement.

Upon reopening the eye, countless forces of destiny appeared within his world of the All-Embracing Pupil.

He made a wish, then inhaled sharply.

At this moment, countless soaring demonic energies were surging towards this area.

Among them, a streak of demonic energy like a column of smoke directly locked onto his Divine Soul.

"This is the aura of Saint Ziyang."

Just by spying on this aura, Ethan Smith felt a thousand-jin shackle fall upon his Divine Soul.

Moreover, this lock-in was vastly different from that in the Saint’s Realm, where he left only a trace of aura.

Here in the Misty Forest, Ziyang had thoroughly remembered his Divine Soul Power.

Looking at the Divine Soul Iron Chain, as large as a barrel, Ethan Smith completely abandoned the idea of severing this aura.

He felt a chill permeate his body, for to be locked by a Saint in this manner.

Meant that at a mere thought, any of the subordinate Godly Kings could find him at any moment, utterly unavoidable.

And moreover, a formidable Demon Tribe Army. Though only five hundred appeared in the Demon Territory’s Misty Forest, who knew if more Nine-winged Demons or even Ten-winged Demons might emerge?

In any case, compared to the aura here at the Mysterious Sword Sect, the gap between them was significant. This was an extremely uneven battle.

No!

I can’t just sit and wait for death. I must find a way to advance further during this time, or surely die!
