Chapter 219: Chapter 219 - False Heir
My divine consciousness snapped back and shot straight into the stone statue!
The agony of losing my divine consciousness hit like a freight train, and I blacked out instantly.
Everything went dark, and in that darkness, I looked down at my hands. My whole body was glowing gold.
"Is this... my divine consciousness?" I muttered to myself.
Right then, a speck of light flickered in the distance.
The light got bigger and bigger until it turned into a human shape!
As the figure showed up, the air turned ice-cold, and waves of dark energy swept over everything!
I stared at the towering figure in front of me, and my face went pale.
"You... are you my descendant? You finally came..." Just as panic hit me, the figure spoke.
His voice mixed excitement with sadness, the sound so powerful it made my head ring.
"I knew my descendants would find me!" The figure kept talking.
I stood there confused, staring at the giant without daring to make a sound.
"Is Earth Fiend Valley doing alright?" the figure continued.
When I heard that name, my face changed instantly.
I’d heard of this sect - they were notorious in the southwest.
Word was they fed off dark energy, and countless girls got tricked into their caves to be used as food.
This sect had screwed over so many people - total evil!
"Could it be... this guy is Earth Fiend Valley’s founder?" Something clicked in my head.
My brain kicked into overdrive, and I couldn’t stop a cold smile from creeping across my face.
"Founder, it’s me!" I suddenly cried out in grief.
"I finally found you - you have no clue how hard I’ve worked all these years to track you down!" I sobbed like I was auditioning for an Oscar.
"Well done." The founder replied coldly.
My heart jumped with joy.
I nailed it!
"It wasn’t easy, but as long as I found you, it was all worth it!" I pretended to wipe away tears, putting on my best sad voice.
The founder nodded slightly, looked at me and said, "Have you found the method to break the seal?"
The seal?
So this old bastard was trapped!
My eyes darted around as I sighed, "Not yet. I’ve practically combed through all of Pyro nation these years but haven’t found a way to break it."
When he heard this, the founder’s face twisted with rage.
A crushing pressure slammed down on me!
"Boom!"
The pressure hit me like a brick wall, and I got smashed to the ground with a loud thud!
In a split second, I felt like my divine consciousness was about to shatter!
"Holy shit, this guy’s strong!" My heart trembled!
This old monster just attacked his own sect member without mercy! Talk about living up to the evil sect reputation!
"Useless trash!" The founder’s voice boomed, making my ears ring.
I cursed him silently.
Just a second ago he was praising me, now he’s turning on me. What a piece of shit!
"Founder, it’s not my fault - I’ve tried everything I can think of," I said quickly.
This old monster shot back coldly, "I don’t give a damn about the process - I want results! Since you can’t find a way to break the seal, then you’ll stay here and keep me company!"
When I heard that, my face went white!
This bastard was really fucking ruthless! He switched sides faster than flipping a page!
"Founder, maybe I didn’t succeed, but I sure as hell tried all these years. Just for the sake of all my hard work searching, please let me go," I argued through gritted teeth.
But the founder just scoffed, "After all these years with nothing to show for it, you’re clearly useless. I think you should just stay put."
I cursed him silently again. This old piece of shit really wasn’t human!
But standing in front of him, I had zero power to fight back.
Breaking out by force? No fucking way!
With that thought, my mind raced.
"Founder!" I suddenly got an idea.
I looked up at Earth Fiend Valley’s founder and said anxiously, "Actually, just give me a bit more time, and I’ll figure out how to break the seal!"
With selfish assholes like this, begging about your struggles is pointless. You gotta give them hope to save your own skin!
"You think I’m stupid?" But the founder just laughed coldly.
"Want to feed me some bullshit story so I’ll let you out? I think you’re tired of living!"
After that angry roar, the founder’s hand struck again!
This time, I felt like my head was gonna explode!
The pain from my damaged divine consciousness was beyond anything I could imagine!
Even I couldn’t help grinding my teeth from the agony!
"Old bastard, I’ll kill you someday..." I muttered under my breath.
That said, I still needed to find a way out fast.
"Founder!" I shouted again.
I looked at the founder with fake grief and anger, laying on the pain thick: "Founder, I’m telling the truth! If you give me just a little more time, I’ll definitely find a way to break the seal. It’s just that..."
"Just what?!" The founder snapped.
I sighed and whispered, "I don’t dare say it - I’m scared you’ll blame me..."
"Speak!" The founder roared.
I put on my best pained expression and said, "I’ve already found a way, I just need some time. But now... Earth Fiend Valley is facing total destruction, and I... I can’t figure out what to do..."
When he heard this, the founder flew into a rage!
He screamed furiously, "Who is it? Who dares mess with my Earth Fiend Valley? Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!"
My eyes flickered, and I quickly said, "It’s... it’s someone named Mason Raymond! He said everyone in Earth Fiend Valley is a bunch of bastards! He wants to wipe out Earth Fiend Valley completely!"
"Ahhhh!!!" The founder lost it, his angry roars making me feel like my eardrums were gonna burst!
"How dare he trash-talk my Earth Fiend Valley like that. I’ll never let him get away with it, never!" The founder yelled furiously.
I jumped on the chance and kept going, "This Mason Raymond is some kind of hero. He’s so badass that he’s already hit Grandmaster level at such a young age - Earth Fiend Valley can’t even breathe!"
As I said this, I couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward.
Damn it, praising myself felt pretty weird.
"Just some Grandmaster punk dares to mess with my Earth Fiend Valley!" the founder glared at me coldly.
"I’m letting you go now - go find a way to break the seal immediately. I want to rip Mason Raymond to shreds!" The founder said coldly.
I shook my head frantically, "There’s no time. By the time I figure out how to break the seal, Earth Fiend Valley will probably be wiped out already!"
"Founder, why don’t you give me your power, and I’ll go kill Mason Raymond for you..." I said shamelessly.
