CHAPTER 2660: CHAPTER 2658: ATTEMPT

Seeming dream yet not, the transition between reality and dreamscape is continuous.

The glaze’s radiance became increasingly hazy and gorgeous, and Ethan Smith’s eyelids felt unbearably heavy.

Despite his utmost control, he couldn’t resist the tide-like drowsiness, and his eyelids suddenly shut.

The next moment, a sense of alarm flooded his mind, jolting him awake.

Not far from him, Heart Moon stood there, unharmed, seemingly without any injuries.

"How is this possible?"

Ethan Smith was shocked to his core; what had happened just now was within a brief moment.

The eyelids closing and then opening had heralded such a monumental change.

In his earlier perception, Heart Moon’s Combat Avatar could have been utterly destroyed, yet the situation suddenly reversed.

Soaring Wind Slash!

Heart Moon’s battle intent surged terrifyingly again, capturing Ethan Smith’s aura once more.

Her body almost instantly appeared before Ethan Smith, then punched him violently away.

Piaomiao!

Almost instantly, Ethan Smith employed the Piaomiao Body Technique.

But that terrifying force still couldn’t be entirely dissipated.

The horrific power penetrated his body, and Ethan Smith involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Amid the dull stomping sounds trampling the air, Heart Moon’s face was full of wild battle intent.

With a slight movement of her right hand, she again gestured the initial move of the Soaring Wind Slash.

"Stop it, aren’t you embarrassed enough?"

A chilling voice reprimanded; the Combat Avatar hadn’t yet reacted, melting like ice in a sea of fire.

The Combat Avatar’s fragment disappeared without a trace.

Countless tiny flames appeared in the sky, swept up by a gust, and the firelight began to blaze fiercely.

As the sky full of flames gradually extinguished, Ethan Smith found himself back in the dao lecture hall.

Heart Moon and Serena were in front of him, both staring at him with complex expressions.

"I really don’t know how the terrifying Destruction Sequence of the Holy Kingdom allowed you to perceive it, and your body seems to have a power of resurrection. If I’m not mistaken, that should be the power of the Heart of the Holy Kingdom. The combination of the two just so happens to let you escape the control of the Destruction Sequence of the Holy Kingdom."

Serena said with some awe.

When that Destruction Sequence emerged earlier, even though he wasn’t in that power, he felt as if his consciousness was about to be submerged in the terrifying awareness of the Dusk Sword, indicating the terrifying nature of this power.

"Indeed, I was opportunistic. At the time, I relied on this power to comprehend the Destruction Sequence of the Holy Kingdom. It thought I was doomed, but didn’t expect I possessed the Heart of the Holy Kingdom and this resurrection power."

Ethan Smith nodded.

"This can be said to be fate; all power is for me to use. Being able to capture such power already proves your remarkable capability, but let me remind you, the awareness at the top of the Destruction Sequence will be craftier than you imagine. As you spy on it, it will constantly try to spy on you too. This power will not submit to anyone. As long as you are not controlled by it, you must keep a vigilant heart, minimizing the use of this power."

Heart Moon said with a stern expression.

Ethan Smith was somewhat terrified. He hadn’t realized how cunning the Destruction Sequence was until Heart Moon’s reminder, revealing another hidden layer.

"Since I lost, naturally what was promised before will be counted."

"Elder Heart Moon, you did not lose; it was I who lost."

Ethan Smith shook his head.

"Once I used Zhuang Zhou’s Dream Butterfly, it already represented my loss. This power was no longer the strength of the Combat Avatar. If I hadn’t used the power of my original body, my Combat Avatar could have been cut down by your sword."

Heart Moon shook her head.

"Ethan Smith, don’t refuse. Before this huge transformation, everyone must make their own choices, otherwise, what’s the use of the accumulated achievements?"

Serena nodded slightly, if during the balance between Seal Demon Valley and the Ancient Demon Land.

All would naturally be well, but now the seal on the Ancient Demon Land has completely ruptured, and whether Seal Demon Valley will survive after this battle is uncertain. Converting these achievements into direct combat power is naturally the most urgent thing.

"Elder Heart Moon, I do have one request. I would like to ask you to demonstrate the Zhuang Zhou’s Dream Butterfly technique."

Ethan Smith said solemnly.

"You wish to learn this technique? It could be difficult; this is a method that only comes after cultivating the dao technique naturally to its peak, merging with nature, and then it’s possible to display it. Cultivating dao technique naturally is extremely slow, no matter how gifted."

Heart Moon shook her head.

"Elder Heart Moon, I have my intentions, but I may need you to perform it several times if possible. This is very important to me."

Ethan Smith said earnestly.

He wanted to probe his other Heart of the Holy Kingdom’s powers, with a seal of body technique power in the vessel now.

This power is too weak for the Heart of the Holy Kingdom.

Using it in battle afterward would not provide significant enhancement.

However, after continuously employing this body technique, he had faintly sensed the power operation of this technique, and could now crudely perform it.

If he could replace the vessel’s skill with Elder Heart Moon’s Zhuang Zhou’s Dream Butterfly, it would greatly enhance his subsequent battles.

This is almost a divine survival skill, the transition between dream and reality, allowing him to traverse between them.

"Alright, but this power takes a heavy toll on Divine Soul Power, and casting it once a day is the limit."

In the following time, Ethan Smith would seek Elder Heart Moon every day, carefully observing the mystical aspects of this power.

"Senior sister, what do you think Brother Ethan wants to do? Does he really want to comprehend the master’s spell?"

Ling’er asked curiously.

"Not sure, but this person is not arrogant. Defeating the master’s Combat Avatar, his actions surely have their meanings."

Serena shook her head, answering Ling’er with her eyes closed.

"Senior Sister Serena, do you think this person could receive so many benefits from the master and then betray the master?"

Ling’er fell silent for a moment, then asked again.

Since the collapse of order in the Ancient Demon Region, Elder Heart Moon had made all attempts.

This involved great sacrifices, all for seeking a way to save this sect.

Serena’s eyebrows slightly twitched, and after a long time, she softly spoke.

"In this world, the hardest thing to grasp is the human heart. If even a master cultivating natural dao technique is mistaken, then it must be our fate..."

Ethan Smith had failed eight times consecutively, his expression somewhat bitter.
