Following that, he then listened to Zyla’s explanation on what the Dehlere Foundation actually was. Essentially, the Dehlere Foundation was a fundamental part of a cultivator. Putting it into simpler terms, it functioned like a source of water, the most basic of necessities. If one’s Dehlere Foundation was ruined, then even if that person somehow managed to train to a high level by relying on their endeavors, they’d never truly be able to achieve their strongest form. As for how to awaken one’s Dehlere Foundation, apparently one needed to go through the baptism of heaven—of which—Gerald had undergone following Master Ghost’s instructions. According to Zyla, Gerald should have awakened both his Dehlere Foundation and his functional yin energy—which he was now able to control—right after completing the baptism of heaven. However, since his Dehlere Foundation had been ruined from the start, there wasn’t anything to activate. That explained why though his strength had greatly incre
“…From the second it rested on my palm, I could already feel how powerful this extraordinary-looking item was… You know, my family has a picture of the sun that is capable of predicting the future… Does the Mackusion have such a power as well?” asked the awe-struck Gerald. “It does, though that isn’t its only ability. Regardless, go ahead and try using the dragon blood jade pendant as a medium to communicate with it. Ask a question that you truly desire the answer to, and with any luck, it’ll respond to you! This is also the perfect chance for us to see how accurate the legends are when it comes to the Mackusion’s immense magical powers!” replied Zyla. “Copy that,” replied Gerald as he closed his eyes and did what Zyla suggested. Not long after, a beam of light shot out from the pendant and entered the Mackusion! However, even after Gerald reopened his eyes seconds later, nothing seemed to happen… Waiting in silence together with Zyla, both of them watched wide-eyed as the Mack
Several mountains could be seen surrounding the rather large island, and odd flowers could be seen growing all over the place. Regardless, the second Gerald saw the island, he immediately knew what that place was. It was Warhill Island, the place where the pledge of the holy water was getting held! ‘By this point, I’m sure grandpa and the others have long arrived there…’ Whatever the case was, Gerald now had a rough idea on how to use the Mackusion. Essentially, after communicating with it through one’s soul, everything that the communicator thought, missed, or was confused about would instantly reveal themselves on the screen, one after another. He got to that conclusion since after witnessing what had happened to Mila, the screen was now displaying the place where his grandpa had gone to in order to participate in the pledge of the holy water. As for why Gerald barely had any doubts that this was Warhill Island, the legendary place where the pledge of the holy water was hel
As Gerald pondered on that statement for a while, he suddenly heard the other women—who had been standing silently at the side this entire time—scream! Peter himself was now looking immensely worried, and he immediately pointed at the screen before shouting, “Gerald, look there!” Turning to look at the screen—that was still displaying Warhill Island—Gerald quickly realized that humans were now present. Of course, that wasn’t the reason the girls were screaming. The reason they were so terrified was because the people being displayed were nothing more than corpses who looked like they had died horrible deaths! From what Gerald could estimate, there were about a hundred dead great masters—who had probably come from all over the place just to participate in the pledge—at the catastrophic scene. Looking at the sea of dead bodies, Gerald’s eyelids instantly began twitching rapidly as he thought, ‘Grandpa…!’ He was right to be worried. After all, his grandfather had left for the
Shortly after, even that image disappeared, and it was then when the Mackusion’s glow slowly retracted before eventually falling back into Gerald’s palm. “…Miss Lockland, have you any idea what the Mackusion was trying to reveal based on what it showed us earlier? Could something terrible have befallen those who participated in the pledge of the holy water…?” asked Gerald rather anxiously. “I have a feeling that seems to be the case… Regardless, not only did the Mackusion reveal that the journey of the participants of the pledge of the holy water was anything but smooth, it also displayed Liemis’s tomb as well as your family’s manor. From what I can assume, it’s predicting that the two places aren’t at peace and something is very likely going to happen soon!” replied Zyla. “…What? Then there’s no time to waste! Let’s head over to those places to investigate immediately” said the shocked Gerald immediately. “Indeed! Speaking of which, now that you have the Mackusion on hand, do
Gerald found himself frowning as well at Yvon’s reaction. From what he could sense, Yvon’s training wasn’t all that high, and Gerald was pretty sure he could easily finish him off. Despite knowing that, Yvon’s immense confidence was actually enough to cause slight unnerve within Gerald. It made Gerald wonder if he was actually the strongest among the Seven Monsters. Shaking the thought off, Gerald then coldly replied, “I guess I have no choice but to deal with you first then. I’d rather not have to worry about any trouble you cause in the future!” Following that, Gerald then flicked his finger slightly at Yvon without actually using any of his inner strength. Though he was only doing so to prompt the youth to make a move—so that he could analyze Yvon’s movements—he was surprised to see Yvon flicking his finger back as well. As Gerald looked curiously at Yvon, the youth then declared, “I told you, I’m different from the others!” The second Yvon’s sentence ended, his form b
The person standing before them… He wasn’t human at all…! How insanely powerful…! As the father and son from the Xanthos family gulped, they recalled how they had first thought that Yvon possessed unique capabilities that would allow him to slaughter just about anyone… Now, however, all the youth was, was a lump of flesh! And all it had taken for Gerald to end his life was a single punch! Being an extremely experienced and slick person, Wesson knew that he, his son, and possibly even his entire family was done for if he didn’t act fast! With that in mind, he instantly knelt before begging, “B-boss…! Please spare our lives…! Sloan, hurry and get to your knees! Kneel before the boss and start begging for forgiveness as well!” Following that, Welson tugged on his son’s arm till he knelt beside him. Sloan himself wasn’t about to disagree with his father’s actions. Both of them were well aware that they weren’t in any position to even dare to further offend this group of people… “
Despite her high status, Gerald watched as her eyes grew red and teary. Who could blame her? After all, she had been waiting for this moment for thousands of years… To finally be able to reunite with Liemis… To think that even after going through so many twists and turns, Zyla was still unable to see even his corpse! Who was the one responsible for such cruelty…? ‘From what Zyla had told me, Liemis’s thought of the soul had ceased to exist around twenty years ago… It was simply something inevitable that came with my birth… Regardless, while his corpse once lay here, even that is gone now…’ Clenching his fists tightly, Gerald then said, “Putting aside the fact that this place is highly secluded, I even sealed this place using a formation in the dragon blood jade pendant… Who could’ve been capable enough to do all this…?” “…From what I was able to see while we were still outside, your formation wasn’t ruined at all… In fact, it was solved, and rather easily too, from the looks of i
