Chapter 25: Fight!
"You bastard, you and that guy are exactly the same; both are damn shameless people!" Steven clenched his jaw, clearly displaying intense resentment. This made Nathan extremely curious. Who exactly was "that guy," in Steven's words? Why could he make a great emperor remember him forever like this?
Who are you talking about? I don't understand!
Are you still pretending? The sense of smell is the strongest in my Steven clan. Even though that guy's aura on you is very faint, I still recognized him!
Nathan became extremely irritated when Steven refused to directly mention the guy's name and continued to avoid the topic. Next, he started to ask more about the inheritance left by Alaca King. Since this information wasn't particularly relevant, Steven told him the truth to prevent him from abusing his position.
Alaca King was extremely talented; in his entire life, he had three magical abilities that shook the six worlds and were even classified as forbidden magical abilities. The first is Heaven's Overlord, which has the fastest divine ability to approach an enemy. No matter how the opponent uses escape techniques or illusions to cover their eyes, they cannot break this divine ability. The Heaven's Overlord appears to descend from the sky, locking the enemy's body for a brief moment, preventing them from using any divine ability.
The Gathering Spirit Spell, the most destructive divine ability in the six worlds, is the second forbidden divine ability. Once the Gathering Spirit Spell appears in the heavens and earth, who dares to compete? By condensing all the essence of blood and spiritual energy into a double-headed short knife, the Gathering Spirit Spell will stab the enemy to death, regardless of their strength.
Nathan took a cold breath. He had heard the legend of the Gathering Spirit Spell as well as seen with his own eyes the stone sculpture depicting the Alaca King using the Gathering Spirit Spell to fight the five Brahmas of the immortal world. Despite the destruction of the subsequent stone sculptures, the battle's outcome was no longer clearly visible. But from the chain of events that had been going on over time, Nathan understood that a single attack of the Gathering Spirit Spell had definitely killed the five Brahmas at the same time.
However, Alaca King died shortly after establishing the Hansen Forbidden Area due to the exhaustion of his blood essence and spiritual power.
A single attack by the Gathering Spirit was the most amazing divine ability that the six realms had ever witnessed! Had the immortal world not plotted against him, he would undoubtedly have become a demon lord before Hansen's arrival. Perhaps only he had the qualifications to challenge Orian!
Steven sighed with regret. Nathan heard the word Orian and immediately inquired:
Is my body's aura that of Orian, the great deity?
Humph, you must refrain from discussing Orian inanely; otherwise, a calamity from both heaven and earth will overtake you. If you want to know everything, quickly reach reincarnation!
Nathan nodded and continued asking:
How about the third divine ability?
Steven seemed to be reminiscing.
The most powerful defensive taboo divine ability, known as Blood Oath, is the third divine ability. When used, one will gain an indestructible body for a short period of time, which is unbreakable and increases one's cultivation tenfold. However, similar to the Gathering Spirit Spell, its usage comes at a steep cost. Thanks to this technique, Alaca King was able to fight with the Immortal Lord for a whole day and a night.
With three forbidden divine abilities, one is fastest to approach, strongest to attack, and strongest to defend. What else can you do to fight like this? Fortunately, using them all comes at a very high price; otherwise, Alaca, whether a Realm Master or not, would have been invincible in the world.
Solve three problems in exchange for three forbidden magical powers. This is too good for you juniors!
Even Steven was extremely eager but had no way to achieve it. The only instruction he received was to guard the ancient ruins and await the arrival of someone with destiny.
Nathan coughed, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
Senior, I was rude just now. Actually, if you want to learn those three magical powers, it's simple; I have a way!
You have a cunning face, clearly scheming to trick me. Dream on; it's not easy!
Although Steven turned his face away, he still listened to what he wanted to say. Nathan knew that he had succeeded in stirring up his greed, so he continued:
As long as senior assists me in obtaining the three magical powers, I promise to share them with him. If I disobey, the heavens and earth will not tolerate it, and I will never be able to break through the sea of suffering!
Sure enough, Steven was silent for a long time, then looked at Nathan from head to toe.
You're not tricking me, are you?
Nathan sighed:
I have sworn so fiercely, but you still don't believe me, senior?
Doing this is cheating against the rules!
Steven was still hesitant. Nathan continued to speak:
Don't you think about it, Senior? Your talent is not much worse than Alaca King! If you had the three forbidden magical abilities in your hands, wouldn't you be invincible in the six realms? Why do you need to be here, guarding the gate for others?
You're right, no, you cunning man. You look exactly like that bastard. In the past, I placed my trust in that scoundrel, extended my assistance to him, and ultimately, he deceived me to the point where I no longer had my loincloth on!
Steven seemed to suddenly recall the past; his expression was filled with anger, clearly resentful of that mysterious figure.
Nathan was really at a loss; in the end, he waved his hand and turned around, pretending to leave.
Ah, it seems that I am not the only one who is unlucky with the taboo of magical powers; so is my senior...
Steven was silent for a long time, waiting for Nathan to walk more than a hundred steps before suddenly speaking:
- Alright! I will help you obtain the inheritance, but you have to keep your word!
- Deal!
Nathan laughed happily. Actually, he only wanted to lure Steven into breaking the rules; there was no other intention. If he helped him obtain the three magical powers, then sharing them would be no problem.
That night, Steven and Nathan sat in the mansion discussing the plan to obtain the inheritance.
In the afternoon, news came that Kaden, with a majestic and righteous spirit, went to Alaca Palace to speak to Alaca with words of upholding the ideal of sacrificing himself to protect the country. He talked nonstop for an entire hour, but in return, he only received a cold shake of the head.
Zi Ha has killed my heart; I no longer want to fight. You retreat!
Kaden smiled bitterly, and he had no choice but to retreat and find another plan.
The Laughing Slayer then appeared. This time, he used harsh and provocative words to make Alaca King angry. But in the end, Alaca King did not even turn his head; he just sat there, holding the jade flute, a relic of the Heavenly Lord, and shed tears.
Zi Ha, you and I have fought for tens of thousands of years, sacrificing too much for the human and demon worlds. But how can they understand us? They have absolutely no idea what we need!
Straightforward words could not move him, nor could harsh words provoke him. Could it be that his Dao heart was truly "immovable" and that once he made a decision, it remained unchangeable? Did this happen back then?
Hearing Nathan's question, Steven shook his head.
That year, despite his sadness upon the return of The Heavenly Lord, he donned his armor and persisted in his battle against the demon world, ultimately leading to the failure of their initial invasion wave. Perhaps the inability to be near the Heavenly Lord on his deathbed, along with the connection between her death and the battle between the six realms, created a knot in his heart. Only now has the secret realm become like this!
Nathan nodded:
To resolve this misunderstanding, the only way is to change Alaca King's mind and make him understand that fighting to the death to protect the human world is Zi Ha's decision; she is completely willing. But how do you make Alaca King listen now? He always turns his face to the wall and stays silent, no matter what anyone says.
- Hit!
Steven's eyes lit up as he clapped his hands and said,
Little Nathan, you have to hit straight to the mansion and curse at the same time to make him wake up!
Hearing Steven's plan, Nathan got goosebumps. Suddenly, in his mind appeared the image of Alaca using The Dominator of the Heavens to approach, then using the Gathering Spirit spell to stab himself. If this situation really happened, he would definitely die.
Why are you so cowardly? You even dared to kick me; now you're afraid of an Alaca who has lost all will to fight?
Steven started to entice Nathan, filled with excitement as he visualized this insolent individual succumbing to Alaca's merciless assault.
After the rain soaked in for a long time, Nathan finally went crazy, raised his head to the sky, and shouted loudly, shaking the entire Bright Realm.
Damn, Alaca, I'll risk my life with you!
In Jiang San Mansion, Kaden was suddenly stunned when he heard this scream.
Nathan, what does he want to do? Risk my life with Alaca?
The Laughing Slayer frowned. He had similar thoughts before but, in the end, did not dare carry them out. After all, Alaca was not just any ordinary Nether King; he was the elder brother of the Demon Lord, and he also made Orian, the great deity, ashamed of his incomparable talent.
Attracted by the scream, Quentin, cradling several nude beauties in his arms, lifted his head to the sky and exclaimed:
They have all gone crazy for the inheritance! Only I am the most clear-headed, here to enjoy...
In the Hell Palace, where the karma fire was raging, Nathan rushed straight up into the sky, holding the Fire Blade in his hand, attacking the Immovable Palace.
