Chapter 326: Shadow

Hearing his real name, 'Buffen Carol', made Third Cloud feel goosebumps on his both ends. He was very familiar with this voice as he howled like an insane beast, "Breakchaos!"

Hearing the word 'Breakchaos' made the spectators broke in uproar. This dao title was very familiar with them as it was very famous all throughout the world especially in the academy.

"Breakchaos Progenitor has come!" A student watching at a faraway distance said with genuine happiness , "The alumni has decided to lend the academy a hand! We're saved!"

Even the teachers and headmaster were instantly overjoyed by seeing one of the most powerful students they ever had.

They had already lost hope that those three progenitors would just stand in the sidelines and watch the academy fall. After all, they had already no karmic connections with the academy the moment they graduated. Thus, no one would blame them if they just didn't care about the situation of the academy.

But now, seeing one of the three progenitors made the academy instantly filled with hope. Perhaps, they still had a chance to turn the tables here.

Soon, a figure appeared out of the void. He was wearing a black robe, but it wasn't the uniform of the academy. His black hair gently waved as he made his steps down as if there was an air supporting him. Furthermore, his looks were over the top as he appeared very handsome and pleasing to the eyes. But what's more distinguishing fact was the aura he was eminating.

Every step he took carried a command and wisdom of all times. The wise sages would be happy once they saw him arrive.

"Who would have thought that I'll be seeing you here as an enemy after all these years?" Breakchaos opened his mouth and said, "And not to mention, a member of a notorious group at that. Fate has really played you well."

"Fate has no capability to play me, Breakchaos." Third Cloud sneered and said, "And I didn't expect to see you here too. After all, I thought out of those three, you are the least to care about this academy's situation."

"I just came out because you did. Furthermore, I can't just watch you bully my academy right in my face." Breakchaos chuckled, "But I see. You are already on the same level as me, yet your scaredy eyes didn't change."

"Shut the hell up!" It seemed that Third Cloud was totally provoked by this and immediately attack Breakchaos in his chaos state. He created a dark ball of light and threw it towards Breakchaos.

"Still easily provoked as ever." Breakchaos laughed and used his fist to deflect the attack. Then, he also used his chaos state to counter Third Cloud.

That's right. Breakchaos has also learned the chaos state of the academy just like Third Cloud.

Third Cloud's attack didn't end there. He immediately used his speed and threw a punch against Breakchaos in a speed which couldn't be seen by normal cultivators.

Soon, two rays of light clashed in the sky. The clash made the world tremble, leaving tremendous sparks above the clouds. The sky was almost torn apart as the two beings fight like gods.

The battle was amazing and spectacular. Not just everyday could everyone watch a battle of this level, a fight between progenitors at the immortal level!

After the even clash, Third Cloud knew that he wouldn't be able to get the advantage of even if he kept this up. Thus, he upped his game and release an armament.

It was a big cannon. With several meters of diameter, it appeared deadly and grand.

"Die!" Third Cloud howled. He fired the cannon as a colossal bright wave suddenly occupied the space going to Breakchaos!

Breakchaos was a bit stumped stumped to see this attack. He immediately braced himself for the incoming attack and activated his defensive treasures.

"Boom!" Then, a loud explosion shook the world. The world trembled in fear as the surroundings died without peace. The outside place of the academy became a desolate land with no capability for habitation, just like a dead land.

"Haah." Third Cloud descended to the ground to catch his breath. Using that cannon had made him use almost half of his reserved qi. But he had no choice either way. His opponent was a strong being who had left a shadow in his heart.

He couldn't be careless and be idle just like that or else it would be him going to die here, without a burial at that.

Just when Third Cloud thought it was the end and about to ease up, he suddenly sensed his enemy which made all his nerves be alerted at the highest possibility.

However, it was already too late as a spear came running down to his direction without hesitation.

"Arghh!" Third Cloud was instantly pierced by the spear and impaled to the ground. He became immobile as he gritted his teeth in pain, "Dammit!"

The spear was too fast for his senses to catch up. After all, he let his guard down. It was a fatal mistake in his part.

"You're taking things too easy, Buffen." Breakchaos appeared and said with cold tone, "You still have the habit of lowering your senses when you have the advantage. It's ridiculous."

"Shut up and let me go!" Because of the toll he received from his attack, Third Cloud was powerless to remove the spear. Thus, he had no choice but to shout and command Breakchaos.

"Why would I?" Breakchaos smiled and said, "As usual, you will never defeat me in your lifetime. Even now, after you reached the peak, you are still incapable of defeating me."

"…" This time, Third Cloud didn't say anything as every word Breakchaos said hit the sore and sensitive spot in his life.

In his whole life, he sought the dao because he wanted to remove this shadow in his heart. He knew that he would be never be stronger as his enemy if he would be chained by his past. He sought power for this reason, but the reality was cruel.

The one who put this shadow appeared and rendered the shadow more powerful and immense, plunging him into the deep abyss.

Reality was too cruel for him that he would rather wish to be dead than to live in shame and in shadow of other people. He thought that reaching this stage wasn't that much of an accomplishment.

He still couldn't defeat it, the shadow, no matter what he do.
