Everywhere the golden lava reached, a massive pit would be burned in its place!

The flames surged into the air, illuminating the dark night-like day!

Against the scarlet golden flares, the monster incarnate's figure was faintly visible, looking like a divine being scrutinizing everything from the flames!

It was over!

Everything was over!

The flames burned through the entire sky!

Even the clouds shone tragically beautiful with a scarlet golden shade.

The world has changed!

From this day forth, the martial art world of the North Region was going to be overturned!

A lost expression flashed through Aiden's eyes as he gazed at the endless flames around him as well.

Although he managed to get his hands on the Vermilion Fruit, his identity was revealed.

It was hard to conclude his gains and losses at the exact moment.

Almost all the sects and factions of the North Region were implicated in this fire!

From this day forth, Aiden would be faced with an endless hunt and no place would be safe for him in the North Region!

How difficult would it be if he wanted to escape from the North Region?

The North Region was way too big!

Aiden was only at an early-stage Martial Master. Even with his double immortality and demonic martial art, he would have to take hundreds of years of traveling even in the best circumstances.

He would most likely be killed within that period of time!

With the conclusion of this battle, Aiden had not only offended the Crystal Palace Sect, but the entire martial art world of the North Region!

"No matter what, I've got to get out of this place first!"

Before long, he calmed down and made a decision.

Picking up the Coiling Dragon Seal on the ground, he put it away in his storage bag before donning on new green robes. Hiding in the bronze square tripod, he broke through the layers of flames and escaped into the distance.

All of a sudden!

Another streak of golden light surged through the flames.

Sweeping his gaze across that golden light, Aiden could not help but freeze momentarily.

It was a black basket that glowed with a golden light, resembling an iron pot with a few holes on top of it.

Behind the holes were a pair of black gemlike eyes that darted around rapidly.

Little scarlet flame fox!

That sharp little thing still made a decision in the end.

She chose to leave that 'home' in which she had lived for dozens of years.

She chose to leave her mother and enter the outside world.

Although Aiden was reluctant when he left the underground cave as well, he could only let the little fox make the decision for herself.

That basket that looked like an iron pot seemed unassuming but in reality, it could protect her from the surrounding golden flames!

Earlier on, even when many Martial Grandmasters tried to use their Divine weapons, they were incinerated into ashes by the golden flames.

"Come over! I'll take you away from here!"

Aiden shouted softly.

He was the reason why the little fox was willing to leave the underground cave.

There was no way he could possibly abandon her in this place.

Given her ignorance to the outside world, she wouldn't survive for more than a month living alone!

The little fox was extremely obedient and with a leap, she whisked her Fire Blocking Basket and slithered through Aiden's robes, climbing to his shoulders with a few steps.

Swoosh!

A pair of leathery wings appeared behind Aiden.

Swoosh!

Flapping his draconic wings, Aiden channeled internal energy and sprinted with his full might into the distance.

He had not gone far when suddenly, the skies darkened!

A sinister voice echoed through the entire Great Forbidden Ruins!

"Without my permission, nobody is allowed to leave this place today!"

The next moment, a terrifying might descended and the countless otherworldly soldiers in the palace instantly dispersed into malevolent energy.

The Martial Masters who were initially watching from afar were shocked and shivered uncontrollably, nearly kneeling on the ground.

The pressure was way too immense!

Against this intimidation, many Martial Masters felt insignificant as ants that could be squashed at any moment.

That aura was way stronger than that of Martial Grandmasters!

Even the golden flames that were initially blazing diminished significantly, as though they were suppressed by someone.

"How scary. Who is it?"

"What's the martial art realm of this person? Could it be.."

"Quasi-Divine! A Quasi-Divine expert must have arrived!"

"There's no way a Quasi-Divine would be interested in a 10,000 Year Vermilion Fruit! There must be another reason for it!"

Many Martial Masters exchanged glances as their minds filled with questions.

Aiden's expression changed starkly as well with the descent of that might. He felt his footsteps getting more and more sluggish, as though he was trudging through a swamp.

However, he had no intention of stopping.

The person who arrived was extremely strong!

Among the martial artists Aiden had interacted with before, this person's aura was the most similar to the Asura, Ward Atrez!

It was a Quasi-Divine Being!

Aiden did not know why any Quasi-Divine would be here.

However, he knew that this was his last chance and he had to get out of this place as soon as possible!

A middle-aged man in luxurious robes descended from the sky with a grim gaze, scanning his surroundings. A wary look flashed through his eyes when he caught sight of the blazing golden flames in midair.

When his gaze came across Pei Syriac's corpse, the hesitation in the middle-aged man's eyes vanished, leaving nothing but an endless, murderous killing intent!

Some martial artists could not endure the pressure and recounted the earlier events vaguely.

"Hmm?"

Shifting his gaze, the middle-aged man caught sight of Aiden who was escaping and could not help but bark coldly with a dark expression, "Little beast, how dare you to try to escape in front of me, Chaos Divine Being Tao Johr?"

Boom!

Tao Johr's spirit consciousness moved.

A horrifying might descended immediately!

With a bang, Aiden's body crashed and slammed onto the ground harshly.

The tremendous shock caused the flesh on the surface of his body to rip apart, spurting with blood and adding injuries on top of his original injuries.

In the blink of an eye, Aiden transformed into a bloodied person. He could not help but grunt dully and his knees wobbled, almost falling.

The difference was too great!

This was not merely a difference in terms of strength.

It was the difference between two different levels and it was worlds apart.

Tao Johr did not have to make a move at all – Aiden could not even withstand his pressure as a Quasi-Divine alone!

The little fox was horrified.

Earlier on, she was protected in Aiden's embrace.

Aiden had defended her from all damage using his body!

With his back against Tao Johr, Aiden continued to escape, panting with a hint of blood in his breath and blood frothing from his mouth. However, his gaze was unusually resolute and immensely fierce!

With his hands behind his back, Tao Johr traveled through the air and looked down at Aiden who was escaping down on the ground.

Those eyes were filled with mockery and cruelty, as though he was looking at an ant that was struggling to survive.

"Mr. Johr, he.."

When he saw that, Muran Dorn wanted to say something but hesitated.

Nobody expected that the number one Weapon Refinement Master the Northern Region would possess such an identity and frightening combat strength!

"What a pity, sigh,"

After a long silence, Muran Dorn gave a long sigh of sadness.

No matter what, Aiden had once helped him.

Muran Dorn felt pained when he saw the state Aiden had ended up in.historical

Mala Deisho seemed to have recalled something and whispered with a conflicted expression, "If the third princess hears the news about Young Master Su's death.. she is going to be extremely sad."

Muran Dorn lamented, "At the end of the day, humans can't fight against fate with their own strength. Even a Quasi-Divine has shown himself at this point. This should be a fated tribulation in his life such that he can't avoid death."

In midair.

Tao Johr seemed to have lost his patience and interest in toying around. Harrumphing coldly, he suddenly descended and blocked Aiden's path forward.

Right then, something weird happened!

Aiden did not stop in his tracks and a humongous, dark and ominous-looking thick, yet familiar blade suddenly appeared in his palm.

The metal of the blaze buzzed with an unworldly excitement as the Black Gold beam of energy was ready to be released.
