Ezekiel. That was a name that Yan Zaizen would recall in the depths of his soul. How could he not? Ezekiel's soul was the first devoured by the Black Hole and later ignited his future path. He was the lynchpin of today.

Various emotions flitted through his eyes, but his expression remained calm and unconcerned. ”What do you?” His tone carried a hint of indifference. Long ago, Yan Zaizen had helped Ezekiel in his war against a realm, and even saved his life after the twisted suicidal determination of his enemy.

Ezekiel landed. His silver wings folded, concealing their brilliance somewhat amidst the darkness of night. His gaze had never left Yan Zaizen's figure, a trace of uncertainty within.

Shin Xuanji stood there, his eyes solemn as he regarded this exchange. He didn't know who this foreign race male was. His heavenly might and vital energies remained in a state of near-eruption. In a blink, if required, he had no issues throwing down with this Ezekiel.

Ezekiel frowned and asked, ”What happened to you?” The previous Yan Zaizen was an exceptional cultivator in the Heavenly Path, and had even cultivated the Soul Source Path and the Herculean Path to an acceptable level. He had developed a False Grand Dao with an upper-level Dao base.

Yet, the Yan Zaizen before him lacked a distinctive heavenly might, but he did possess a faint, heart-shaking Heavenly Aura. Furthermore, he couldn't sense any power of Laws emanating from his actions and soul movements. It was as if he comprehended no Heavenly Laws.

This caused his frown that was already rather deep to become deeper, nearly vertical.

Yan Zaizen calmly explained. He didn't have a reason to keep the truth from anyone. ”My original body is in a predicament, unable to extricate itself.” While he told the truth, there wasn't much detail behind it.

This caused Ezekiel to frown even more.

”How did you find me?” Yan Zaizen inquired. Ezekiel was all the way in another Heaven. He traversed that grand distance for him? To seek him for help? It seemed somewhat unbelievable. Why would Ezekiel need his help when he, on his own, was a formidable force that rivaled his earlier self and had a formidable set of allies.

Under his command, was there not millions of warriors intent to fight to their deaths? Did he not have a Heavenly Creation Realm expert? Why seek him of all people? Furthermore, he had long since paid him back and then some.

Ezekiel rubbed his chin as various contemplative lights flashed within his eyes. He was clearly deep in thought.

Yan Zaizen sighed inwardly. Despite Ezekiel being the unintentional reason for Pinaka's predicament, he held no issue with him at all. He wasn't one to place blame unfairly or even blame himself, so how could he? In fact, he had heart-felt admiration for him.

Ezekiel shook his head. ”Your original body is unable to escape? How about I help you free yourself of that? In exchange, you help me.” His offer caused Yan Zaizen's eyes to spark to life. This was an unexpected boon. If Ezekiel took action, there was a chance he could escape.

Not only did he have a powerful Heavenly cultivation base, but he was a Herculean. He had always planned to use the Herculean Power to save his body. How could he not accept this?

That being said, he was not like his younger self to agree to any request without much thought. Since he had already paid Ezekiel back, he owed him no obligation to accept without questions.

”If you want my help, you'll need to explain yourself clearly before I agree.” Yan Zaizen said.

Shin Xuanji sent Yan Zaizen a soul transmission, ”Junior Brother Zai, are you sure?” He knew Yan Zaizen's situation, but he didn't feel a good feeling from Ezekiel's arrival. In fact, he downright felt an immense threat loom over his heart that induced fear.

Yan Zaizen glanced at Shin Xuanji for a moment. He nodded, indicating that he knew what he was doing. However, looking at Shin Xuanji's primed powers, he could tell that Shin Xuanji was unusually tense.

”How about you return first?”

Shin Xuanji was taken aback. He revealed a faint trace of reluctance before Dao Light flashed in his eyes. His feet did not move. ”I won't leave you.” He owed Yan Zaizen too much, so he would not leave unless he wasn't needed.

Yan Zaizen faintly smiled. He turned towards Ezekiel with a calm, questioning look.

Ezekiel had finished thinking and said, ”I found you after sensing the Compass's fluctuations. I tracked its spatial signature here.” So that's it. Yan Zaizen clicked his tongue inwardly. Like before, Ezekiel had ways to locate this Compass of his. No wonder.

”Have you ever heard of Heaven's Claim?” Ezekiel finally got to the center of his arrival, his true purpose?
