Chapter 238 238:The Fourth Ability

In the depths of extraterritorial space within the void, an elegant man in a white robe peered into space with a stern expression.

In this kind of void, even a Martial Saint or ancestor could hardly hold on for too long, yet the man showed no signs of qi fluctuation or a tyrannical aura.

Sitting cross-legged, he gazed around, narrowing his eyes.

Before he could speak, the void in front of him surged with a bloodthirsty aura capable of clouding people's minds.

"No... How is this possible... The Black Star... I made sure to destroy its fate, so why?"

A chilling and frightening voice resounded.

The voice was filled with a strange power. If a weak person were to hear it accidentally, they might be controlled by the murderous intent on the spot or become a monster driven by bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Aaron Walton, release me... Let me go and kill him, or your small race will face the wrath of the heavens."

"He needs to pay the price for going against fate."

Ignoring him, Aaron raised his chin.

His eyes darted across the vast expanse of space and settled on a dead black star slowly expanding and rising.

Black as pitch darkness of the abyss, yet glowing like the brightest sun by absorbing others.

A miraculous phenomenon that twisted the very fabric of reality.

"Black Star... Is this the reason you were sent to twist the providence of my region?"

"Yes, so what... You are all servants of providence. When it asks you to die, you have to die, and when it asks you to fight, you have to fight. As an enforcer of Providence, I order you, Aaron Walton, the President of the Federation that leads the human race, release me."

Crackling thunder erupted one after another. The space started to crack under the tyranny of being trapped in a cage.

Hearing this, Aaron snorted coldly and extended his hands.

SWOOSH!

Bright starlight erupted from his body.

Faint Daoist and holy chimes resounded from his body, dispelling the bloody aura.

"Hmmm! I was able to defeat you, take away your power, and trap you. This shows that providence, fate, and luck can all be resisted until one tries sincerely enough."

"Hahaha! For how long do you think you can trap me? The day I break the cage, I will get rid of that mini-world and let humans be slaves of others."

In the endless void, only his cruel and arrogant voice resounded.

If observed from a distance, one would see the entire void covered by a large transparent book emitting golden light, a cage making it impossible to escape.

Totally ignoring the maniac, Aaron's brows furrowed as he focused on a significant event taking place elsewhere.

His lips curled upwards in a faint smile as this piqued his curiosity.

"Interesting!"

......

"I have defense and life-saving abilities, but I need to do something about offense?" Leon shouted in frustration, ruffling his hair.

Where a protagonist has a few loyal friends on standby, the connections of villains spread like the roots of a tree.

After barely being able to control himself, Leon decided to look into every child's case. He summoned the dead and looked for evidence.

To his shock, most of the big families, both in Elysium and the whole world, were involved in this scheme.

And all this started because of him.

Argent took the serum under the Federation President's strict orders and kept it restricted to the Federation and soldiers serving it to fight for humanity.

However, by doing this, it conflicted with the interests of families, and the situation may become grave later, so all of them supported Seph in developing their serum.

By all means, after he became Martial Emperor, Seph was never his opponent, but things may become ugly if Martial Saint rushed to save his ass.

And he was sure they would.

That's why he tried to break into Martial Saint, but the system displayed a warning.

In the path of cultivation, one takes qi to temper his soul and body, then understands laws.

But to step into Martial Saint, one needs to traverse the path of self-discovery.

Like, why do you cultivate?

What is qi?

What is life?

What path do you want to take?

It's like understanding yourself and understanding the vast universe so that you can connect yourself to heaven and earth, then go through lightning tribulation to gain the approval of the world that now you are connected to heaven and earth.

If one steps into Martial Saint without enlightenment, his path of cultivation would be flawed.

So, his only option was the last power.

But despite the repeated guesses, he wasn't able to get any hint. In desperation, he even asked the system, but it said that it couldn't tell about power, however, there was a big loophole that he found after multiple trials.

"What are the conditions to activate it?"

[Host you need to exchange it for 300 luck points.]

"Just take it....Just take every damn luck point but give me the answer."

[First, you need to have the will to fight desperately, wanting to win irrespective of the consequences.]

"Isn't that what I always do?"

[Second, you need to sacrifice your heart....]

"What the heck?" Leon almost screamed in disbelief hearing this.

"Doesn't that mean...I am as good as dead.."

Martial Saint can't regrow lost limbs, but not a lost heart and head. This may be possible in upper realms, which means he can't use it until he reaches a state where he can regrow it.

This made him hesitate to use it, but during the last moments of the Seph strike, he remembered his past self-advice.
