Chapter 299 - Sacrifice?! (2/2)
Unwilling to hear more, the figure grew silent.
”His destiny will bring him to your domain. Do not hinder.” 'Yan Zaizen' said this and no more. It was as if his eyes had calculated the path of destiny. The figure only 'looked' solemnly at the figure before him and felt complex emotions. Nodding, he faded and said no more.
When he faded, the souls of all beings resumed.
Yan Zaizen had already returned to normal, his body exhausted and his mind swirling. He felt his body unnaturally empty, and couldn't help but inspect himself instinctively.
”What?!” His heavenly shrine was still there, but all the heavenly source of mimicry that constructed it had disappeared. It was as if he had ignited his heavenly shrine for power…
In truth, the figure had to draw upon Yan Zaizen's energy to emerge such as this, thereby eliminating his heavenly cultivation base. Yet, this was something he would never figure out.
Unjustly cursing the figure for stealing what's his, he calmed himself down.
He had survived.
For now, that was all that mattered.
He recalled Pinaka's words that were silently mouthed: ”You have one hundred years...come for me, Zai.” The pearl she held was the one Eloah had given him. Since he didn't need it, he had given it to Pinaka for protection.
Thinking of Eloah, his expression flickered. ”Did he know this would happen?” In the 7th Heaven, Eloah had said the protective talisman might 'come in handy' and it did. The reason he was so calm right now despite his earlier outburst was his faith, his faith in himself to save Pinaka in one hundred years.
Eloah had told him that faith wasn't a flaw of the mind, but the strength of the heart. This may not have been meant for him, but said for Pinaka to have faith in him. If so, then…
It's just unfortunate…
Yet, he had never regretted nor never will he regret his choices. This was his Dao, the very core of it. Live by your choice, die by your choice, lose by your choice, gain by your choice.
Even if he had died today, he would have accepted it. After all, trying to rescue Ezekiel was his choice.
Speaking of, Ezekiel's soul had awakened in a disorientated state. He was nothing more than a soul and his cultivation had decreased also, but not to the extent of Yan Zaizen, who was at the Advanced Nascent Soul Realm.
His soul was at the Initial Aurora Soul Realm. Sadly, this was all his cultivation. His physical body had been sent elsewhere.
Flying over, Yan Zaizen inspected Ezekiel to see his state. Only after seeing that all was fine, did he sigh in relief. Ezekiel was the only way he knew how to travel through the heavens and other universes at will. With his compass, he should be able to send him to Hell.
For some reason, he felt like no one else would have such thoughts, nor should they.
Ezekiel regained his consciousness and looked about, finding Yan Zaizen not too far away with a cool light in his eyes. It was soul-entrancing, as if he had absolute belief in himself. It held a charisma befitting a sovereign!
”You…” With a little bit of time, he figured out where he was and made an assumption as to what happened. To him, Yan Zaizen interrupted the ritual and Dracula was the only one dragged away. In truth, there were other possibilities, but if Dracula had been in the myriad heavens, he would've remained in the Crimson Devil Realm.
After all, his daughter was still here. This was something even Dracula didn't know Ezekiel knew. The hidden sub-realm in the Crimson Devil Realm!
”Thank you,” he was profoundly thankful. If Yan Zaizen hadn't arrived, his fate would've been unimaginable.
However, Yan Zaizen didn't care about Ezekiel's thanks or incorrect assumptions, he directly demanded, ”I need the compass.” Despite his calm, he was still feeling quite urgent. After all, his other half was locked away in Hell with a timer. He couldn't spare a second.
”...” Ezekiel was silent.
”...”
”...”
”...?”
”I don't have it.” Ezekiel calmly said.
”Where is it?”
”...”
”...”
”If my guess is correct, the Fortune Cemetery.”
”Guess?!” An extremely ugly expression emerged on his face. What the hell happened to the compass?!
