Chapter 231 Ch 231: Great Danger
Ten Blades of Hell seemed impossible to be killed. That's why Frost Moon Emperor spent more than a thousand years creating a treasure in the shape of a full moon that was able to seal the Ten Blades of Hell.
Although the Ten Blades of Hell were sealed and no one knew the location of the Moon that was sealing them, the Night Shadow Assassination Group was looking for them everywhere. They were spending both time and resources looking for the Ten Blades of Hell.
It was only a matter of time before they would successfully search the moon sealing those Ten Blades of Hell.
And exactly that happened.
About a hundred thousand years later, when the Universe forgot the terror of Ten Blades of Hell completely, the Night Shadow successfully found the Moon.
The persistence of Night Shadow was really worth praising. They never gave up on finding those Ten Blades of Hell even though a hundred thousand years has already passed.
Now that they had found the location of Moon, they started slowly destroying the seal.
Destroying the seal means destroying the Moon itself.
The moon created by Frost Moon Emperor was not just a random piece of junk that could be shattered by a wave of a hand.
Night Shadow had to spend another thousand years in order to destroy the moon and give those Ten Blades of Hell their freedom back.
Being sealed for more than a hundred thousand years, the Ten Blades of Hell were furious. They immediately set off to find Frost Moon Emperor and kill him.
To not let Frost Moon Emperor seal them again, they brought along many Origin Gods along. This caused Frost Moon Emperor to have no choice but to flee.
From that day onward, Frost Moon Emperor was being hunted by the entire Night Shadow. But he was also an Origin God and an extremely powerful one at that. Killing him was not that easy. Although badly injured, he was able to escape with his life every time.
Not being able to catch and kill the Frost Moon Emperor, the already furious Ten Blades of Hell were infuriated again. They started targeting friends and families of Frost Moon Emperor.
After his son was killed, Frost Moon Emperor had no family left, thus some of his friends became Ten Blade of Hell's targets.
They only said one thing: "Either bring Frost Moon Emperor or be killed."
Some of Frost Moon Emperor's friends were killed and others were being targeted. One of them was Elder Valerio as well.
But just like Frost Moon Emperor, Elder Valerio was also a very powerful Origin God. Killing him was also not so easy.
Just like that, tens of hundreds of years passed.
And one day, the leader of Ten Blades of Hell broke through to a higher stage of the cultivation realm. And that day was the beginning of the nightmare for every single person being targeted by the Ten Blades of Hell.
It was that day when Frost Moon Emperor knew that he was going to die soon, thus he created a powerful illusion in order to choose the next guardian who could seal and guard the Ten Blades of Hell and pass down that illusion to me. Then he told me to run away as far as possible.
Although he was going to die, he was determined to take down a few Ten Blades of Hell with him.
And he did as he had decided.
He managed to kill two Blades of Hell in his last moment. When he was about to die, he chose to self-explode, killing two out of ten Blades of Hell.
Now that the two Blades of Hell had died, they had to choose two new people from Night Shadow to complete the team, Ten Blades of Hell.
But it was not on them to decide who will become the next Blade of Hell. It was on the Hell's Blade to choose their master.
This time, these two blades chose a Celestial River Stage martial warrior and a Holy Lord Stage martial warrior as their masters.
"I have been in this world for more than 300 hundred years. In these three hundred years, those two must have grown and become much stronger." Elder Valerio took a deep breath, looked at Alex, and continued to say: "Since you have been given the mark of Snowflake that represents Frost Moon Emperor, you have become the target of Ten Blades of Hell."
"They will definitely come after you. So, you have to be ready!"
Alex didn't know what to say anymore. And more so, he doesn't say anything at all.
First of all, he never wanted to become the so-called guardian of the Ten Blades of Hell.
Second, he didn't even know a single thing and become the Guardian out of nowhere. He has no idea why Frost Moon Emperor chose him!
Third, he still has no idea why he has to be ready to face the Ten Blades of Hell. They have already killed Frost Moon Emperor. With that, their enmity should have ended. Then why do still want to target him?
Maybe, Elder Valerio had seen through Alex's thoughts. He said: "The Ten Blades of Hell have been sealed inside the Moon for more than a hundred thousand years. After that, they started hunting Frost Moon Emperor. During that time, they come up with a method to track the aura of Frost Moon Emperor."
"Now that you have the mark of Snowflake, there is an additional layer of Frost Moon Emperor's aura inside your body."
"The moment that Snowflake mark appeared on your right hand, you become the next Guardian whose only duty is to fight and seal the ten Blades of Hell again. And the moment you become the next Guardian, those Ten Blades of Hell must have sensed you."
"It means, they must be on their way to this world. They are coming here for you!"historical
Saying this, Elder Valerio stopped for a few seconds, looked at Alex's conflicted expression, and sighed. Then he continued to say: "You have at most three years in your hand before they will come to this world."
"Although they are assassins, they have their own pride. And more than pride, they have arrogance."
"Because of your weak cultivation, they will definitely send the weakest of the Blade of Hell to deal with you."
"300 years ago, the weakest one was a Celestial River Stage martial warrior. And now, 300 years later, that person must have at least become a Holy Lord."
"With your current strength, dealing with a Holy Lord is impossible. Even if you can improve at a rapid speed because you are the child of the world, you can at most become an Extreme Void Stage martial warrior in three years of time."
"Tell me, with such a weak strength, how would you go against the weakest of Three Blades of Hell? And how will you face all ten Blades of Hell?"
Alex had no words to answer. He was already feeling conflicted, but now, his expression became even more grave. He could not help but want to go somewhere and hide.
However, no matter where he might escape to, because of the aura of Frost Moon Emperor, the Ten Blades of Hell will know where he is and will come looking for him.
They will definitely want to get rid of any possible future threat. And he has now become that possible future threat.
Taking a deep breath, Alex asked: "Does this Snowflake mark only represents my identity as the next Guardian of Ten Blades of Hell?"
Elder Valerio shook his head, saying: "No!"
"This Snowflake Mark contains the method to create the Moon capable of sealing the Ten Blades of Hell. When you'll have the necessary strength, the Snowflake mark on your hand will provide you the complete information, and you will learn this method immediately."
"That's all?" Alex asked, feeling confused and angry at the same time.
This damn Snowflake mark made him fall into such great danger, and all it can do is provide him with information to create the Moon. And it was only when he will have enough strength.
What does it mean?
What will happen if he is killed even before he could become strong enough to create the Moon capable of sealing the Ten Blades of Hell?
Alex once again took a deep breath and suppressed his overwhelming emotion.
"Calm down! Clam down! Calm down!"
Alex slowly took and let go of breaths and tried to calm down. Then he muttered in his heart: "You still have your system. With the help of the system, you might really be able to become strong enough to face the danger coming after three years. Just calm down and start replicating treasures."
He now has a new target.
He has to become a Holy Lord in a short period of Three Years.
But... Is it even possible?
It took him about two years to rise to his current strength with the help of the system. He is only a Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior.
Could he really become a Holy Lord in short three years?
