Chapter 2401 Could Ruin Everything

To say the Masters were shocked was an understatement.

They were absolutely dumbfounded by the Harbinger's sudden breakthrough on the battlefield while on the verge of death.

However, upon a second look, it wasn't entirely shocking. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was already known that Martial Masters had a higher chance of breaking through while on the verge of death. On top of that, the Harbinger had been one of the absolute strongest Martial Masters in all of East Panama. This meant that she had undoubtedly crossed the threshold of relative power, where her power had allowed her to learn more about herself. On top of that, she had lost consciousness. If there was a chance that her last thoughts when losing consciousness had been about who she was, then there was a possibility that she had also utilized the dream technique to learn more about herself when unconscious.

Thus, in that regard, it wasn't too shocking that she had managed to break through. However, the revelation still shook the Masters where they stood as they helped the Harbinger by feeding her physical rejuvenation and nutrition-dense food pills.

RUMBLE...

The Masters felt the domineering weight of the four Martial Sages who descended before them.

The three Kandrian Sages were particularly pleased by the sight of Sage Sera.

"You've finally gained Enlightenment of Self." The Flickering Elder smiled at her. "I used to fear that at this rate, you were going to shut yourself off forever."

Sage Sera slowly got up after finally having healed her wound entirely. "...It wasn't by choice. If not for him... I wouldn't have broken through."

The three frowned at her words. "Him?"

"...The Master who defeated me."

Their eyes widened with surprise at her words.

The atmosphere was positive nonetheless.

After all, the Kandrian Empire had gained a new Sage.

The gap between the Kandrian Empire and the enemy alliance was reduced by yet another step. Now, the enemy alliance only had eight Martial Sages more than the Kandrian Empire. Of course, eight Martial Sages still represented an enormous amount of Martial power, but it was still not enough to achieve anything better than a devastating pyrrhic victory. The Kandrian Empire's goal was to ensure that the enemy alliance was unable to widen the gap enough and now they had taken one more step in that direction.

It was also good news for the Selizantar Kingdom, which was now protected by an additional Sage.

All in all, they had gained much. It wasn't long before the Martial Artists collected the bodies of the Martial Masters who had unfortunately perished in battle and returned to the Selizantar Empire. Once the most immediate matters were dealt with, the Harbinger finally got the private audience she desired.

"Before you begin..." The projection of Emperor Rael smiled. "Congratulations on breaking through to the Sage Realm. I am aware that you have faced your challenges and perhaps have your misgivings over what has happened, but this is a truly wonderful development for me as well as the Martial Union. It is our sincere hope that you will be able to overcome the challenges you might encounter in the Sage Realm."

She smiled back at Emperor Rael ruefully. "Thank you. But more importantly. I need to tell you about him. I must tell you about the man who defeated me."

Emperor Rael and the three Sages of the Kandrian Empire calmly listened to her talk, wondering what had gotten her so worked up about a single Master.

Then, she told them about his Martial Embodiment and their expressions stiffened.

Then, she told them about his Martial Art and their eyes widened with shock.

They listened with rapt attention as she described with great detail how he had not only copied her Martial Art and Martial Embodiment but also improved and evolved it with other Martial Arts.

And by the time she was finished, the air grew silent.

"A Martial Art that can copy other Martial Arts..." Emperor Rael's expression grew grave. "It could ruin everything."
