The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 695 - Step Back

Ancestor Soulcaster had no choice but to let things go. If he earned the ire of this young man, his empire might become the same as those three empires right now.

Currently, the three empires which attacked the Phoenix Empire were suffering an intense decline due to their massive losses since the attack. After all, they dispatched their laws and supremes by that time and even their strongest legions. Unfortunately, no one survived. Only those tiny kingdoms had managed to survive by killing their kings.

Nevertheless, this decline was something hard to recover from unless they find their legacies. Unfortunately again, it's impossible since the Phoenix Empire had the two legacies while Jin Rou had God King's. It was easy to say that the three empires were good as doomed now. Even if they were to recover, it would take a long time before fully recuperating from it.

And this situation wasn't something Soulcaster wanted to happen to his empire. Thus, he knew when to back off and not lay his arrogance.

"I see." Jin Rou nodded, "Then if that's the case, we'll be leaving now."

Jin Rou looked at the tree once again and bowed, "Thank you for your help, Heavenly World Tree."

The tree had a major part in Jin Rou's successful attempt for merging the third legacy with his body. God King's legacy was adamantly rejected by the two legacies inside Jin Rou's body since there was deep hatred between them. However, with the Heavenly World Tree's help, he managed to pacify the two legacies and made the third legacy merge with his body successfully.

Truth be told, it was a suicide action from Jin Rou's part and he was much aware of it. Although Jin Rou was confident that he wouldn't die at the very least, he only had a 50-50 chance of success in reality for merging them.

Thankfully, he thought of using the Heavenly World Tree as a safety net and increase his chances of succeeding, resulting to this.

Even the tree hiddenly gasped as it thought about Jin Rou's schemes. It felt like Jin Rou was a natural born schemer and a true ruler at the same time. It met so many brilliant humans and other races in the past, many had outstanding talent to go against the heavens but Jin Rou was exceptional. Perhaps the only human who achieved this feat in all.

"The efforts are on you. I only supported you from the sidelines." The Heavenly World Tree spoke. There was a bit of admiration in its voice, "Still, I have to congratulate you for succeeding it. Now, you have a fair chance of slaying that monster."

"You know it all along?" Jin Rou smiled. He wasn't surprised by this. After all, it was the Heavenly World Tree which lived since the start of time. Maybe it was even older than that monster.

The tree didn't answer it and instead gave Jin Rou a piece of its leaf, "Take this along your journey. This might be of help to you."

The leaf of the Heavenly World Tree had many good benefits for the consumer. However, it could only be used once so it must be used properly. The tree wanted to give more than one leaf to Jin Rou. However, it was being restricted from doing so. Nevertheless, the one leaf would be a huge help for the young man. After all, it gave the best leaf it had. The one it nurtured for uncountable years.

"Thank you." Jin Rou expressed his sincere gratitude and said, "If ever I meet you again, I'm going to give you something by that time."

"Just slay that monster. That will be the greatest gift you can give me." The Heavenly World Tree said. Then, it slowly became light particles as it said, "My time has come to depart this space, I hope I have satisfied you with the blessings, Young Man."

After that, the tree had disappeared completely becoming light particles scattered all around. It wasn't dead, it just went to another place where it wouldn't be reachable by any beings.

Jin Rou looked at the place where the tree disappeared and took a deep breath, "Let's go."

In the deepest abyss of the world. There was a young man in summer outfit strolling it slowly like he was walking in the park. He was constantly humming with a carefree attitude.

After walking by sides and twists, it finally stopped in a certain place, the deepest part of the abyss where no one would dare to near.

"I have one unexpected visitor, it seems." Then, an ancient voice reverberated. There was a person, maybe, behind a large old seal. It contained millions of ancient symbols that couldn't be deciphered. However, it was obvious that the symbols were suppressing the person behind it, "What a surprise, Anxiu."

"Hmm, I can see that you're still healthy even after being suppressed by the seal created by Brother Feng Lin. You are one hell of a bastard." Law Anxiu created a throne and sat there, facing the 'person' behind, "You're truly a monster, only one in this world."

He paused for a moment and said, "And it seems that you're preparing for the moment you are set free from this seal."

"Feng Lin's seal cannot kill and keep me here forever, Anxiu. As a matter of fact, not even a single entity in this world is capable of killing me." The 'person' behind the seal spoke with a chilly tone, "And by the time that I am free from this damned place, your world will cease to exist for angering me."

"Fool. Do you really think that you're still invincible in this world?" Law Anxiu sneered, "The hero has arrived in this world and has the ability to kill you. You will be helpless against it, too bad."

"Hero?" The 'person' laughed, "Do you really think that a hero can stop me when countless heroes of the past pushed their luck to pit their lives against me? I don't expect that you are quite the type who will pull a joke in front of someone like me.. You got me there."
