Chapter 2609 Cathay Nation From The Cathay Nation

"It's a special ability of us evil shadow race. Those who are related by blood can sense each other.

The closer they are to each other, the stronger their connection will be.

Like my mother and I. As soon as I saw her, I immediately knew that it was her,"

Caroline explained.

"I see.

Then, can you feel if anyone from your family is in that palace?"

Austin asked.

"Yes, there is someone.

And I can feel that it's a close family member.

It can only be the Evil Shadow King."

Caroline seemed so sure that it couldn't be anyone else.

Truth be told, she resented the Evil Shadow King.

However, he was still her father, and that couldn't be changed.

"That's great! We finally found the Evil Shadow King!

I hope he is still alive,"

said Austin. Caroline didn't seem happy with the fact, but she nodded.

"Don't worry. He's still alive,"

she reassured him.

With that said, Austin, Caroline, and the demonic avatar headed for the huge grey palace in the middle of the plain.

The dozens of evil dragon beasts were caught off-guard. They couldn't do anything but growl lowly, as they stared at their retreating backs. They glanced at them but relaxed when not even one of the beasts pursued them.

After a short while, they arrived at the central region of the plain.

They could see the grey palace more clearly now.

It was a looming and intimidating presence, its grey walls huge and lackluster. On its top was a pointed spire, and around it were statues of different Evil Gods. The varying ferocious features looked down upon them as if they would spring down any moment and devour them.

Numerous mysterious gray runes hovered around the palace like schools of fish that were swimming in the deep sea.

At the entrance of the palace stood several men of the evil shadow race. The aura that surrounded them was terrifying in strength, and their menacing faces were equally frightening.

"Who are you? You have no business here. Leave at once!"

As soon as Austin spotted the men from the evil shadow race, they too looked up and spotted them. The men wore startled expressions, caught off-guard by their sudden presence.

That was probably because one's range of spiritual sense perception was very limited in the valley.

Even Austin's spiritual sense was only able to probe a range of several miles.

As for others, it was even less than that.

Although the guards at the palace gate were strong, their spiritual sense was much weaker than that of Austin.

Therefore, they didn't notice Austin and Caroline until they were right under their noses.

When they didn't answer, the men were alarmed. They wondered how the two of them managed to sneak up on the guards.

"What-- How did you get here?" One of the guards sputtered, but he recovered quickly.

His tone was stern, but his eyes were widened in astonishment. He peered curiously at the unexpected guests.

After all, it was not easy to survive in the Fallen God Valley.

It was the most dangerous place in the Evil S

tar in the center, it was stark and empty, as lifeless as its outside walls.

In the midst of the altar was a huge statue. It looked terrifying, its features feral, wild, and ancient.

It was nearly a hundred meters high, and it stood out like a sore thumb in the emptiness of the altar.

Austin was immediately attracted by the strange appearance of the statue.

The statue held an old shield in its left hand, and a strange giant ax was in its right hand.

What shocked Austin the most was that the statue had no head. It was a headless torso, the breast stuck out, and its nipples stood as eyes while the navel was its mouth.

"It's... Isn't this Thad?"

Austin was stunned. He gaped at the statue and reached out as if in a trance. He hesitated in the last moment and shook his head.

He recognized it, of course. His soul had traveled from Earth to the Prime Martial World.

While he was there, he managed to get a bachelor's degree at a college and even graduated from a prestigious university.

As a scholar, he had learned about many historical legends and the culture of the ancient Cathay Nation.

Austin was quiet, as he recalled an ancient book about the Cathay Nation that he had read. It was said that Thad and the emperor competed against each other to be a God. The emperor decapitated Thad and buried him in the mountain, but he came back to life. Unfortunately, his head was gone, so he continued to fight with his two nipples as his eyes and his navel as his mouth.

Everything that Austin knew about Thad checked out. It was definitely him.

"Oh my! That statue seems to be our Evil Ancestor!

It's the very first Evil God, and the ancestor of the evil shadow race according to the legend.

It's said that the evil shadow race was formed from the blood of the Evil Ancestor himself. From there, they continued to grow and spread,"

Caroline blurted out to Austin as soon as she saw the statue on the altar. Her eyes twinkled in excitement, as she looked at the statue with admiration.
