Chapter 858: The Grand Ancestor’s Condition

In normal circumstances, whenever Xia Fei put on his characteristically crafty smile, something bad would happen.

Oro was well aware of this fact, so he constantly questioned Xia Fei for the reason.

“Why do you think we won’t be opposed to each other?

“How are you so confident?”

Xia Fei smiled and said nothing. He activated the compass and moved to a very beautiful and wild area of the Exiled Grounds. Pointing at a distant mountain, he said, “I remember you saying that you hate barren places. This place should be up to your standards, shouldn’t it?”

Oro glanced around and saw that there was a beautiful lake and majestic mountains in this place, scenes that could uplift the spirit, so he could not help but slightly nod.

“Hold on a sec! You still haven’t answered my question, alright?” Oro frowned. “I get it. You think that I have too many of your secrets, so you plan to kill me for good?”

Oro began to panic a little. He had seen Xia Fei’s methods more than once. He knew him as an extremely brutal fellow and a decisive killer, who attacked without the slightest hesitation, on top of being very cunning!

Oro knew secrets such as the Skywing Clan’s method of cultivating the Law of Speed and Xia Fe’s relationship with the Black and White Gods, and he knew that Xia Fei possessed a very powerful and bizarre law.

Xia Fei had always taken his secrets very seriously. Oro was from the Demon Race, and his abundance of knowledge may prompt Xia Fei to kill him, to suck him dry with the Blood Crystal!

Xia Fei smiled and said, “Any secrets you know are because I let you know. Of course, you don’t understand the most crucial parts.

“Still, the most fundamental reason I’m unafraid of you doing anything to me isn’t that you know all my secrets but that I know your secrets, and more than you know mine, too.”

Oro was stunned, not understanding what Xia Fei meant.

Xia Fei mischievously smiled. “If my guess is correct, the Demon Race were only guessing that you have the Law of Life, using it as an excuse to deal with you. If I were to let a rumor out, saying that you’re in fact hiding the Law of Life, not just you, even your entire Lionheart Royal Clan would be finished.”

Oro’s complexion instantly turned green. Xia Fei was right. He had been sealed in the Eternal Ice Plains by an enemy, but in the end, they had still been unable to find out whether the Law of Life was actually in his possession or not. If Xia Fei took out evidence proving that Oro had the Law of Life, this would be terrible for both Oro and the entire Lionheart Royal Clan!

After a pause, Xia Fei continued. “Moreover, you need to die in order to be reborn, and it’s not like you can take the Three Lions Imperial Jade with you. With this in my possession, you’ll have to come and find me eventually.”

Oro was rendered speechless. Once Xia Fei killed him, his possessions would fall into Xia Fei’s hands. Even though Oro would be reborn, without the Three Lions Imperial Jade Ring, who would recognize him? This was Xia Fei’s second trump card.

Xia Fei had Oro’s heart in his grasp, and his two hands were ready to squeeze, so Oro really was rather afraid. These two matters alone were enough to bring calamity upon him. Moreover, based on Xia Fei’s habit, since he had told him of these two trump cards, Xia Fei was definitely holding back a third! This had always been his custom.

At this moment, Xia Fei sincerely said, “You see, I’ve told you everything, meaning that I don’t consider you an outsider. After all, you’re the Triple Overlord expert of the Lionhearts. If I can’t stick it in the God Race, I may need to run to the Demon Race and rely on you. Ready yourself. I’ll be sending you on your way now.”

Xia Fei spoke with such sincerity that Oro began to blame himself for misjudging Xia Fei.

However, after some thought, Oro decided to keep up his guard against Xia Fei. After all, he had yet to meet anyone else this troublesome in this life.

The two of them agreed on a secret signal for when they would next meet and that Oro would come to find him for the Three Lions Imperial Jade Ring in the future. After all, Oro’s appearance would be very different after he was reborn.

Xia Fei took Oro’s ice coffin out of his ring and placed it on the ground.

“Are you ready?” Xia Fei asked.

Oro nodded and said nothing.

On the verge of rebirth, Oro was simply ecstatic! His heart was almost thumping out of his chest!

Xia Fei gathered the law force into his hand. Oro was bound by the powerful Law of Ternary Spectrum, and only the Law of Primal Chaos’s reversal energy was capable of breaking the seal.

“Goodbye, old friend.”

Xia Fei brought down his palm, striking Oro!

*Rumble!*

The earth quaked and mountains shuddered!

The Law of Ternary Spectrum shattered, and within the seal, Oro was obliterated!

The Lionheart emperor, the Black-armored War God of the Demon Race, had finally been reborn!

Several minutes later, Xia Fei smiled as he sat on the grass and picked through Oro’s possession. He was particularly taken by that ring that represented the emperor of the Lionheart Royal Clan, looking it over in his hands.

“He left behind a lot of goods. I’ve made a small fortune again!” Xia Fei chuckled as he placed everything in his ring. However, he placed the Three Lions Imperial Jade in the box that held the Law of Life.

Glancing at the Law of Life resting in the box, Xia Fei smiled. “You yourself didn’t cultivate this law, yet you told me that it’s a good thing. Who are you fooling?”

Suddenly, Xia Fei realized a very serious problem that he had not realized before!

The Law of Primal Chaos was the power of reversal, capable of turning black to white and vice versa. It was a completely unreasonable law, so might it have an effect on Oro’s rebirth plan?

“Oro is a golden-furred lion, so he won’t turn into a white lion, right?” A helpless look appeared on Xia Fei’s face. That would be terrible if true. No one would recognize a white-furred Oro, perhaps even treating him as a monster!

Shaking his head, Xia Fei muttered, “It shouldn’t be like that. The Oro of the past is already dead, and no matter how strong the Law of Primal Chaos is, it shouldn’t affect Oro’s next life, should it?”

Shrugging, Xia Fei stood up and walked away.

Destination: the God Race!

..

The time was here. As he had arranged with Xia Guanghai, Xia Fei arrived at the abandoned wreck of a warship.

The coordinates on his compass indicated that this location was very far away from the Law Realm, almost at the limits of the compass. Xia Fei slightly frowned, mystified as to why Xia Guanghai had arranged to meet him here.

*Whoosh~*

A spatial gate opened, and a smiling Xia Guanghai appeared in front of Xia Fei. The two of them walked along the deck.

Xia Guanghai pointed at the warship wreckage under them and asked, “Do you know why I arranged to have us meet here?”

Xia Fei shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

Xia Guanghai replied, “This ship is called the Freedom. Our grand ancestor took this ship to the Law Realm, establishing a land of his own in that realm of experts!”

Xia Fei was stunned. This ship belonged to the grand ancestor! It seemed that Xia Guanghai had some deeper meaning, speaking to him in such a solemn tone and bringing him to this warship that their grand ancestor had once used.

It was all very abnormal!

“You are one of the rare few in the clan with Godwing potential, so the path you take is bound to be different from that of the other members of the clan. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since you are a Godwing candidate, you must possess the majesty of one!

“The grand ancestor made an exception when promoting you because he agreed to a certain condition with the Palace of Gods: You must live alone in the God Race for three months without anyone’s help,” Xia Guanghai said to Xia Fei.

Xia Fei smiled. “Is that why you brought me here today?”

“Correct,” Xia Guanghai frankly confessed. “The grand ancestor naturally has his own plans. You should know that many people don’t like you; they’ve thought of every way possible to stop you from entering the God Race, but the grand ancestor, who cherishes you as a Godwing of our clan, felt that letting you remain in the Law Realm was too much a waste.

“After all, your cultivation has already reached Law Overlord, and you have an Immemorial Mystical Armament and the Holy Beast Shatterstar. No one in the Law Realm is a match for you now. A world without opponents isn’t good for a warrior’s growth, as there won’t be pressure.”

Xia Fei nodded and muttered, “Saying that there are no opponents is exaggerating it a little, but there truly isn’t much pressure.”

Xia Guanghai continued speaking. “You’re a smart person. You’ve already been shown the way. It’s your choice whether to take it or not.”

After some thought, Xia Fei asked, “It’s said that the two races will be going to war soon. What happens if fighting breaks out in these three months?”

Xia Guanghai shook his head. “That won’t be the case. The grand ancestor said that a war between the two supreme races is no ordinary matter. Just the stalemate alone will take some time.”

“Besides the God Race, am I allowed to go anywhere else?” Xia Fei asked.

Xia Guanghai used his compass to transfer a star map to Xia Fei. Various coordinates were circled in red, and the first one was in Demon Race territory!

“These are the places you can go, but it’s best if you stay in the God Race, because any one of these places is more dangerous than the God Race,” Xia Guanghai said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Xia Fei closed the screen and smiled. “Wandering around alone for a while doesn’t sound bad. Alright, I agree.”

Xia Guanghai patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said, “I knew that you wouldn’t object. Right, the grand ancestor also said that if you dare to bring up leaving the Skywings again, he will go and personally reason with you.”

A helpless look appeared on Xia Fei’s face as he hastily nodded.

Reason with him? It probably would not be as simple as that.

..

All of this made sense and was within expectations. Xia Fei had become an ordinary member of the God Race and needed to stand tall within its territory for three months without anybody’s help.

There were several paths to the God Race. As Xia Fei did not have the aid of the Skywings, he must go in through the most ordinary route.

Following Xia Guanghai’s instructions, Xia Fei arrived at an ancient spatial gate hidden behind a mountain. The God Race territory was closed, and not even a spatial compass could bring him in. This was because he lacked the travel privileges.

The spatial gate was hidden under some vines, and two strong and energetic warriors of the Amay Clan protected it.

Xia Fei took out the pass card that Xia Guanghai had given him and was smoothly allowed through, but Xia Fei’s pass card was of the lowest level, not that flashing golden special permit from the Palace of Gods.

*Whoosh!*

As Xia Fei stepped out of the spatial gate on the other side, he found himself midway up a mountain. In the distance was a rather large town. While this was not the central region of the God Race, it was just as bustling as the White Horse Constellation.

“So this is the God Race!” Xia Fei was surprised as he excitedly looked into the distance.

Suddenly, Xia Fei heard a voice rudely speaking from behind him, “Newcomer, don’t you know the rules?!”
