Chapter 362: An Ancient Terror Awakens, The Everveil Kingdom Is Destroyed

—---------

Outside the Everveil Kingdom, a few hundred meters above a grouping of white, fluffy clouds.

"So, young friend Azmodeus, where are you from?" Yun Jin asked. He sat on the front side of the carriage with Sebastian, looking at the crimson-haired man sitting on the opposite side.

"Where am I from, you ask? Well, the short and sweet answer is that I'm from a backwater area. As for the long and lengthy answer... That would be one too long to describe here and now..."

While giving this response, Azmodeus had his chin to his fist, staring out at all the clouds they were galloping over. His mind seemed to be elsewhere when speaking of this topic, and it was quite obvious that he didn't wish to speak any further about it. Therefore, out of respect for their relationship, Yun Jin delved no further.

However, with the little he did learn, he was able to piece together the clues and deduce that their young friend was, in fact, from a Mortal Realm. Though, as to which mortal realm that would be was still a mystery...

'If it's a Mortal Realm with an open destiny spot, then it is highly likely that Azmodeus is a True Enigma. However, if it is one with a filled destiny spot, then there is simply no way that he is the True Enigma... After all, a filled Destiny Spot means that a True Enigma has already grown and developed to full maturity.

From there, the True Enigma will venture out into the 'Dunes of the Unknown' that surround all Immortal Realms in the Immortal Funnel... At that point, the True Enigma will have advanced their cultivation far above the All-Encompassing Immortal Realm...'

Even Yun Jin himself was envious of the power and authority that a True Enigma held, and his slightly contorted facial expression indicated that much.

If given the chance, it wouldn't be past him to befriend a True Enigma and do whatever it took to leech off the immense destiny that one held. As it even surpassed that of Divine Immortal Emperors, just a sliver of a True Enigma's destiny was enough to allow for repeated ascension!

But with filling a Destiny Spot being an almost impossible task, considering the high demand on Enigma candidates, it might as well have been an unrealistic, whimsical fantasy to hope on young friend Azmodeus being a True Enigma...

'Sigh... If only the talent requirements weren't so ridiculous when it came to the ascension of a True Enigma Candidate into a True Enigma... Even those two freaks from all those years ago were considered a once in a blue moon occurrence, likely never to happen again...'

KABOOOOOM!!!

"???" "???"

While in the midst of a conversation, both the Dragon Slayer and Azmodeus were shocked to hear an ear-deafening explosion reverberate for an unreal number of miles!

At the source of this booming sound, there sprouted a massive mushroom cloud of destructive, crackling energies. And the scariest part was that the mushroom cloud was only becoming larger and larger!

It appeared to have originated in the Everveil Kingdom; however, even from so far away, the mushroom cloud was still around the size of a mid-distance car...

"...T-This is..."

A spine-tingling chill crept up Yun Jin's back when he felt the overwhelmingly powerful presence shrouded beneath that cloud of death. The pit of his stomach curled and his hair stood on end. Even a true Immortal Dragon was not capable of garnering this sort of reaction from him, which could only mean one thing...

"An Ancient Terror has awakened... And this one is stronger than all the ones that have ever been reported... The Everveil Kingdom; it's gone, without a trace..."

Fear crept up Yun Jin's expression as he mumbled in a self-deprecating tone. Even if he moved proactively and informed the King of something he already knew, it would make no difference...

"That thing... Its power is beyond anything that should be in the Heavenbreaker Province... T-This, it shouldn't be possible..."

All the color faded from Yun Jin's complexion, and it was no different for Sebastian and even the Immortal Guards outside. Everyone was trembling in fear and trepidation for what was to come...
