Chapter 274: Parting of Ways

The abyss beneath the earth showed just how powerful that last explosion had been which had blown such a large hole in the ground. This was the terrifying desperation of a Sacred Realm powerhouse nearing death. Even with his last breath, he could still reverse the situation in an instant, dragging his opponent down to hell with him.

Logan heaved a sigh of relief. His previous resentment and hatred for the Beast King vanished in this moment. Perhaps the Beast King had acted treacherously, but to put everything at stake to take down the Heavenly Saint Daoist, even at the cost of his own life, had proved incredibly impressive. If the Beast King had not resisted in the end, he himself would have been the one to face the Heavenly Saint Daoist’s retaliation.

“The Beast King was wise. He sacrificed his life to protect the millions of demon beasts in the mountain range. He was worthy of the title ‘Beast King’. I, Logan, will not consider him as an enemy from now on.”

Logan took a deep sigh and stepped forward to pick up an Inner Alchemy. This was a small world, the treasure of the demon race, which he felt was rightfully his to claim. After all, it is a rare gem in the world, a treasure the Sanctuary Powerhouses had been fighting over for hundreds of years. With it in his possession, his cultivation journey appears to be much more secure.

As Bart Cloud let out a sigh full of emotions, he couldn’t help but comment: “The Heavenly Saint Daoist must have never thought that the Beast King would be this determined. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have willingly entered the array, willing to fight a life-and-death battle. The Beast King, choosing to sacrifice himself to set an example, has truly moved us.”

“This battle is a rarity seen once in hundreds of years.” Lowen Shingo was also amazed. Although ordinary people don’t even get to see a Sanctuary Powerhouse in their entire lifetimes, they had not only seen one, but two Sanctuary Powerhouses perish right in front of their eyes. If they were to share this experience, they feared no one would believe them, because it was simply too fantastical.

Previously, he had only heard about the strength of Sanctuary Powerhouses in legends. They were beings who could move mountains and fill seas with just a wave of their hands. They could destroy a city in an instant and were the ultimate realm every Cultivator dreamed of reaching. Yet now these beings had fallen in the blink of an eye, truly causing people to sigh with lament.

Logan walked around for a while inside the barrier, confirming that nothing was left and the Beast King was truly dead. His anxious heart finally settled down. Previously, facing two Sanctuary Powerhouses pursuing him felt like an unbearable weight. But now, everything had finally come to an end.

“This has become a disputed territory. The explosion caused by the Sanctuary Powerhouses will surely attract a lot of attention. Strong ones from nearby are rushing here, and we cannot afford to be noticed. Otherwise, we would be faced with ceaseless pursuit. Let’s leave immediately.”

At Logan’s orders, he departed immediately along with Lowen Shingo and Bart Cloud who were still lost in their thoughts. They walked a distance of nearly ten thousand meters before feeling somewhat safe. All three of them took a long break, considering the enormous strength they had lost in the previous battle. They were already at the end of their ropes.

Meanwhile, at the barrier, a large group of people had arrived. They were prominent figures or Lords from nearby. Seeing the battlefield in ruins, they were utterly bewildered. They wondered what kind of catastrophic battle could have caused such disastrous consequences, likely one that involved individuals with greater power than Dominator Realm.

After recuperating, the three of them ate a meal together and then started discussing their next steps. Now that the enemies had been eliminated, this adventurous journey had come to a satisfactory conclusion. Logan naturally turned to Lowen Shingo, as Bart Cloud was his Guard and would be following him.

Lowen Shingo smiled faintly, replying: “I should get going now. The Heavenly Saint Daoist must have already returned to the Sect. My father and the Elders must already know about my situation. I should go back to alleviate their concerns. Besides, when I left, I was at the High-ranking Overstep realm, and now I was approaching the Perfect King’s Seat. This is good news that should be shared.”

“The biggest gain from this journey was meeting the two of you. It greatly benefited my cultivation and understanding of the Dao. We may have known each other for less than a year, but I hope we’ll have a chance of having a drink together again someday. I’ll consider both of you lifelong comrades, even if we never meet again in this life.”

While feeling all sorts of emotions, Lowen Shingo had too many things to say, but in the end, he just laughed heartily at both of them. Not everything needed to be expressed in words. After all, this journey had been too exciting. He probably wouldn’t have such a legendary experience again in this lifetime. After all, the Perfect King’s Seat was no trivial matter, especially considering it led to the fall of two Sanctuary Powerhouses, something not seen in hundreds of years.

Bart Cloud was filled with mixed feelings – after fighting side by side, he had made a good friend in Lowen Shingo and it was heartbreaking to part ways so soon. The next time they met, he wasn’t sure things would still be the same. Hence, his heart was both heavy and complicated, but all he could do was wish Lowen Shingo well.

Logan nodded, patting Lowen Shingo’s shoulder, “If it’s meant to be, we’ll see each other again. Bart and I will continue to travel around. Maybe one day, we’ll visit your Sect. Don’t let us get blocked off when the time comes. You have good aptitude and strength. I hope that the next time we meet, you’ll have become a Strong Dominator.”

“Let’s make it a contest then, to see who cultivates faster. As soon as I go back, I’m planning to go into seclusion to break through into a higher realm.”

Altering his tone, Lowen Shingo made a fist with Logan to seal the pact, promising that he would keep everything confidential and not reveal any secret to the Sect, reassuring Logan that they did not need to worry about their secret being exposed.

“The Elders of my Sect are quite inquisitive. They would definitely want to know every detail about this journey. It would be impossible to not say anything as the Heavenly Saint Daoist must have already spoken about it. So, I will hide the details about the fall of the two Sanctuary Powerhouses and put all the credit on some reclusive expert.”

Logan waved his hand, indicating that Lowen Shingo didn’t need to explain so much. He fully trusted his character. After all, although he had already left, he made up his mind to come back to help while at the risk of his own life. Also facing the predicament of pursuing a Sanctuary Powerhouse on equal terms with Beast King. Who else could match this spirit?

The two sides carried on their conversation for a little while longer before Lowen Shingo bid farewell to the two of them, leaving only Logan and Bart Cloud. The duo exchanged a knowing smile with each other. As for where to go next for further training, Logan didn’t have a clear idea yet and thought to take one step at a time. Opportunities could turn up anytime.

The following morning, Logan and Bart Cloud set off early, intending to find a city to rest for a few days. A city with a population of several millions was just a few miles away. Its City Lord was at the Dominator Realm, maintaining the city’s peace for a hundred years.

The moment the two men reached the city gate, they were stopped by the guards: “Do you have a pass? Without it, you cannot enter. Recently, two powerful individuals were killed in the mountains. People with ulterior motives have stirred up trouble, so the Lords of the nearby territories are on edge. Therefore, we have banned all outsiders from their cities unless they carry a pass.”

Logan felt awkward, as he didn’t have a pass at hand. However, he decided to present the token that a previous Lord had given him and see if it would work. But the guard sneered and shook his head: “A token from any other Lord won’t do. If this had been a normal time, people like you would have been arrested by now.”
