CHAPTER 2633: CHAPTER 2631: THE MISTS BEGIN TO CLEAR

"This Saint Ziyang is not simple. Transitioning from a Hominini saint to a demon saint, and now becoming the first to receive the power of the Morning Frost Holy Kingdom, his nation’s strength can firmly suppress the two of us."

The Fairy Queen’s exquisite face also flashed with an unusual color. To become the first to acquire the power of the Path Profound Holy Kingdom, even she, an established saint of the demon race, dared not be even slightly contemptuous.

"As long as that little scoundrel is killed, I care about nothing else!"

The Emerald Snake Witch’s face showed a hideous look. Her offspring died in the Path Profound Holy Kingdom.

Regardless, she would use all her power to kill that person; otherwise, she would never find peace.

"Heh, it’s just a portion of the Heart of the Holy Kingdom’s power, no need to mind it."

The Crane chuckled softly, seemingly indifferent to this change.

The remaining ones were the three great saints of the Ghost Race: the Ksitigarbha King, the Ghost King Nether, and the Ghost King of Mang Mountain, Cao Li.

Cao Li had never appeared before. If not for this enormous change, he might have continued to retreat in the Holy Kingdom.

The Ghost King of Mang Mountain, in life, was the renowned Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms era. Cao Cao, during his lifetime, slaughtered millions, gaining a notorious reputation; even as a ghost, he remained unwilling to be subdued, becoming a fearsome, ruthless ghost saint.

Due to the overbearing aura of Mang Mountain’s Ghost King and many powerful subordinates, added with Mang Mountain being an extreme yin location, neither the Hominini nor Satan dared to easily attack, fearing the ghost king’s retaliation.

"Do you think the masked woman can succeed over there? This time, the Ghost World has brought out all its Divine Fire Runes to repay the debt owed before."

Nether frowned, asking.

"If even she fails, then no one can succeed."

The Ksitigarbha King gently sipped tea, smiling as he looked towards Skyler Taylor’s Holy Kingdom.

Skyler Taylor’s death was not merely due to a sneak attack on a Human World body. The nine major saints of the Different Races almost stealthily infiltrated with their own original bodies, at the cost of nearly all of them, to completely erase Skyler Taylor.

Afterwards, the masked woman became the first to enter Skyler Taylor’s domain, but there was also an agreement among all sides.

If the masked woman, after entering Skyler Taylor’s Holy Kingdom, cannot quickly grasp this realm, then other races will be sent in.

If the masked woman succeeds, the Ghost Race will gain another great saint, significantly altering the future landscape.

In Skyler Taylor’s Holy Kingdom, the masked woman slowly advanced towards the core of the land.

At this moment, fragments continuously glowed on her, with densely packed Hearts of the Holy Kingdom emerging on her back.

Layer upon layer of obscure Power of Order coursed around her, and she gently shook her head, withdrawing the Heart of the Holy Kingdom.

"Almost there, the position of the final Heart of the Holy Kingdom has already been sensed..."

Meanwhile, outside of Nine Bends City in the Misty Forest, Ethan Smith lay unconscious, not knowing how much time had passed.

A small lamb lingered by Ethan Smith, curiously licking his cheek.

After a long time, Ethan Smith slowly opened his eyes. Dazed for quite a while, he gradually recalled the events that transpired.

The world before him had drastically changed; the entire Path Profound Holy Kingdom became clearer in his view.

He received Zephyr Grimm’s Divine Power and the baptism from the Hominini’s victory.

At this moment, his Divine Soul and physical body were almost three times what they were before.

He picked up the Sun Chasing Bow, now able to easily draw eighty percent of the bowstring — something that required his utmost strength before.

"Zephyr Grimm is indeed terrifying; with the power of that battle Heart of the Holy Kingdom, who knows how many creatures of the Mist were slain, amassing such fearsome Divine Power."

Even now, Ethan Smith felt a bit apprehensive.

Yet, being able to survive and advance further filled him with immense joy. If he were to experience it all over again, Ethan Smith truly wasn’t sure if he could defeat those fearsome demon race beings.

After enhancing his body and Divine Soul, Ethan Smith sensed a transformation within himself, a breakthrough.

Utilizing the power of the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil, he could faintly see certain vague rule traces, and the Heavenly Path Sea, long unperceived, he could now sense.

But this was merely the initial sensation; even if he used all his strength, he couldn’t stir any power.

Upon realizing these powers, Ethan Smith had an epiphany.

The Heavenly Path Sea, Human World, and the Holy Kingdom are different strata — lower, middle, and upper tiers.

Within the Human World, even striving to use the Heavenly Path Sea’s powers, only the most superficial forces can be accessed.

In the Holy Kingdom, directly contacting this level of power is dealing with the core forces of the Heavenly Path Sea.

This kind of power is difficult to wield without an immensely strong Divine Soul.

Upon entering the Path Profound Holy Kingdom, Ethan Smith felt as though he had reverted to an ordinary person.

The core reason being this overwhelming power, like a child wielding a thousand-pound iron hammer, impossible to utilize; even with his current Divine Soul strength, no essence of the Heavenly Path Sea could be moved.

"But this time, the rewards are astounding."

Ethan Smith shook his head. Although the Heart of the Holy Kingdom from the Prologue of Order seemed to have eventually fallen into West Hill’s hands, this outcome was already quite favorable for him.

Sigh...

Recalling the murderous intent West Hill showed at the end, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Unsure of what sort of Holy Kingdom trial lays ahead.

Ethan Smith stared at the rippling mist, his heart tensed.

From the village to Nine Bends City, the difficulty increased a thousandfold, uncertain of what trials this Holy Kingdom might arrange next against outsiders.

At this moment, a passage finally formed within the mist before Ethan Smith; surprisingly, however,

This time, the passage had only a specific range.

Unlike before, this was not just a path leading towards Nine Bends City.

"Could it be that this range is exceedingly large, encompassing a vast area where we might traverse?"

Ethan Smith furrowed his brows slightly, then slowly proceeded towards the indicated range.

With his current strength, he wasn’t concerned about encountering formidable beings he couldn’t handle.

Hiss!

A scorpion, the size of an arm, appeared not far from Ethan Smith, adorned with spotted patterns and stingers.

Upon seeing Ethan Smith, its thick tail suddenly rose, swaying in his direction a few times.

As if searching for Ethan Smith’s vulnerability.

"Seeking death, a mere creature dares provoke me."

Ethan Smith sneered coldly.
