The Last Primal

908 Chapter 908 - Lurking Danger

The little flame fox with its tiny paws tried its best to gesture, seemingly anxious, desperately wanting to say something. However, it forgot that it was still raising the iron basket.

There was a loud thud on the ground.

The little fox was covered by the basket once more.

Initially, this should have been a cute scene, making anyone to elicit a smile.

But this time round, Aiden did not laugh.

That was because he could not laugh!

There was danger!

If it was anybody else, they would not have understood the little fox's cries and gestures.

However, Aiden was different from others. Being an entity that has absorbed countless vital essences, a myriad of creatures during his adventure, he most likely understood these beasts better than anyone.

Although he could not understand the language of the fiends and demons of the abyss, he could make a rough guess.

Little fox's meaning however was not that difficult to decipher. No, it was clear – it was informing him that there was danger around!

This time around, his spirit perception did not give him any warning.

However, Aiden was certain that there was a terrifying existence hiding in this place!

That existence could even hide from his spirit perception!

Aiden's conviction did not come from little fox's warning alone.

It was because there was something else he finally understood.

There was only one possibility why the older flame fox died here before its lifespan was up.

Another powerful existence killed it!

Apart from the little fox, there was another living being in this cave!

Instantly, Aiden's hair stood on end and chills ran down his spine.

He knew that he was now in grave danger and could die at any moment!

At the same time.

A mild vibration came from above the cave.

Anybody else wouldn't have noticed those vibrations.

However, Aiden's senses were way too strong!

He knew that intruders had arrived at the palace above.

Furthermore, there were quite a number of them!

This is bad, Peak Master Slyff Nae is in danger!

Aiden was alarmed.

In his moment of distraction, the lava flowing beside him splashed and a tall figure with a terrifying aura burst forth, lunging towards him.

It happened at almost the same time.

Slyff Nae and the other two in the palace above and Aiden in the cave all met with danger!

Aiden would have never guessed that the unknown living being would burst forth from the lava.

The temperature of the lava was extremely high such that he didn't dare to touch it even with his body, let alone stay inside it.

That unknown living being was scarier than he had imagined!

Aiden's reaction was swift and without any hesitance, he burst forth with his Soul Power energy while circulating his Primal Core and Inner Core at the same time, invoking his full martial strength.

*Swoosh!*

Straight away, he activated his draconic form and slashed in reverse with Rygintarth towards the incoming figure without even turning to look!

Without dodging or retreating, the person reached out and punched with a thunderous might!

*Clang!*

When Rygintarth collided against the person's fist, metallic sounds actually rang as sparks flew.

An irresistibly terrifying force rippled through the blade of the saber.

Aiden's palm split open and blood streamed out. Unable to maintain his grip on Rygintarth, it flew from his hand.

"Pfft!"

Nearly three feet of the blade was embedded in the wall behind him!

The power released by that fist was so horrific!

It was so strong!

Aiden had a great shock.

That slash earlier was considered as his full power.

Although Aiden released his immortality and demonic strength at the same time, his opponent received it barehanded and sent his Rygintarth flying instead.

The difference was great! Probably too great!

Before Aiden could react, a second punch flew over from the living being, slamming like a massive pillar with an endless ferocity.

Aiden did not even have the chance to summon the Coiling Dragon Seal and could only raise both arms to defend himself.

Up till this point of his cultivation, he had been through countless battles but there were few moments where he was forced to defend passively.

It was especially so for melee combat of brute force.

But now, the opponent's attacks were so ferocious and powerful that Aiden could not retaliate at all.

*Bang!*

The other party's fist landed on Aiden's arms and a dull sound of defeat echoed.

Instantly, his protection talisman he received from the Azure Myst Sect have shattered.

With a dull grunt, Aiden shuddered and staggered in retreat.

There was a loud thud on the ground.

Slamming against the wall behind him, Aiden's expression was pale and his arms fell limply to the side, trembling slightly – he had already lost feeling in them.

The other party was way too powerful.

Given the attacks, it would take less than three punches for Aiden to die here!

His opponent was overwhelming everything with brute force!

Even if Aiden had a myriad of methods, he couldn't use any of them.

On the parcel of land in the lava ocean, the little fox placed the iron basket above its head aside and stood up with a worried expression. Its little paws were propped up before its chest, looking like it was praying for Aiden.

"Hmm?"

The unknown living being exclaimed softly – it seemed to be shocked that it didn't manage to kill Aiden with a single punch.

Leaning against the wall, it was only at this moment that Aiden could make out the other party's appearance.

That unknown entity had long, greasy dark red hair and a muscular, humanoid or 'bareskin' shaped body. At two meters tall, its face and legs had thick, coarse skin-like crust and scarlet scales lined its face one after another tightly.

That was a body that could be described as perfect and invulnerable against fire, water and weapons!

Having just exited the lava, the person's body was still dripping with steaming lava. It had a torrential dominance and looked at Aiden mockingly with its triangular eyes.

Although the other party seemed like it was a human, Aiden was almost certain that it was a fiend demon. A terrifying creature straight from the Abyss!

In the demon race, those at Martial Knight and Martial Master realm could be called spirit demons.

The moment they entered Quasi-Divine realm, they could be called fiend demons.

Low-level fiend demons were equivalent to Quasi-Divine Peak Stage Beings.

Mid-level fiend demons were equivalent to Lesser Low Stage Gods or Divine Creatures.

High-Level fiend demons were equivalent to True Gods, or High Divine Beings.

Above that, they could be considered as Grand Demons and were equivalent to High Stage God-like beings. Without divinity, you would stand no chance against such tyrannical monsters! They were true destroyers of worlds!

Aiden believed that on the same martial realm, there might be some unique, rare  creatures with inherited ancient bloodlines who could be stronger than him.

However, the difference between them wouldn't be this great.

This was a complete suppression!

The other party was a low-level fiend demon at the very least and might even be at mid-level!

"What should we do?"

Panting slightly, Aiden circulated his internal energy and regained sensation in his arms while contemplating.

He had to get out of this place alive!

The medicine field in the palace above was enough to tempt any martial artist.

In the Great Forbidden Ruins, it was common to see people killing others for treasures! That was the most straightforward and effective method!

If Aiden were to be stuck here, Slyff Nae and the other two wouldn't be able to make it out of the Great Forbidden Ruins alive!

"Quite the unique scent there… mortal. A Martial Master strength and strange, unique Beastial Core in your body that I have never sensed… hmms, you seem to have quite a few secrets…"

The Scarlet Armored Fiend Demon smirked and looked at Aiden like a piece of succulent meat, remarking coolly, "I'm truly hesitant to kill you since you already have such a strong body after just forming a core. But…"

After a slight pause, it changed the topic and its gaze turned cold. "You've still got to die! Anyone who trespasses into my territory must die! After I kill you, I'll slaughter all the ants above that are coveting the Vermilion Fruit as well!"

"At that time, you'll have companions in Hell!"

"Heh!"

Aiden sneered.

Sensing the Scarlet Armored Fiend Demon's killing intent, he had nothing to fear as he shouted, "Old monster, you're truly brazen with your words!"

"I'm sure that this was the demon fox's territory initially. That fact that you're an intruder as well aside, the fact that you're spouting such big words just makes you shameless!"

Those words were cathartic for the little fox but it triggered the Scarlet Armored Fiend Demon entirely.

"GRAWR!"

Roaring in anger, it bared its sharp teeth and seethed, "Mortal ant, you have a death wish!"
