Chapter 1464 - Mathilde (2) (1/2)

If one believes that this was the worst this the Mathilde Clan did, you'd be sorely mistaken.

This dream of the Florence Family meeting their ancestors never happened because the Mathilde Clan purposely descended the universe into Chaos! Many believed that it was the battle of the Phoenix Clans that turned Chaos Universe into what it was today, but this wasn't true at all!

Using Poison Master skills, the Mathilde Family corrupted the core of their home universe, thus severing it from the will of the universe. This resulted in the blotches of uncontrolled time that Dyon experienced… But, this wasn't the worst of it.

By cutting off Chaos Universe from the outside world, the Florence Family couldn't find their way to their ancestral holy land! As a result, the Acacia family never found out what the Mathilde Clan did because they couldn't speak to the dead of the Clan!

…

Back then, Bialaer had yet to even be born. Yet, his family had chosen a path of treachery that would forever stain them.

After escaping what was now Chaos Universe, the Mathilde family made use of the various treasures they had taken to make their way into the outer quadrants. As expected, the entity never bothered to follow them nor did he care to. This seemed to reaffirm the Mathilde family's beliefs… They had survived! So they had the correct interpretation of the prophecy!

Now, with so many heavenly treasures in their hands and a new path before them, they would rise again and bring the martial world back to the Golden Era! Their only regret was the fact they couldn't find the Jafari Clan treasure before they left.

What they didn't know was that the ancestors of the Acacia Clan had been suspicious of the movements of the Mathilde family. No matter how broad hearted an individual was, wasn't sentencing their own family to death a bit too far?

Feeling that something was off, they personally hid the Jafari Clan treasure. Having been known as the most powerful of the three ancient clans, it was no surprise that they had control of their best treasure. It was due to this that half of the treasure came to land in the hands of the Mino Clan while the other half came to reside in the Demon Sage's Mystical Realm… The Demon Sage was lucky enough to explore Chaos Universe in his youth and stumble upon this hidden half…

To the excitement of the Mathilde family, they found that their Asura's Eye responded very well to Devil Qi, to the point where its capabilities were enhanced by at least ten times!

This realization caused the elders of the Clan to grow ecstatic. Wasn't this exactly what they were looking for? An avenue to grow their clan's strength to new, greater heights?

At the same time, while the Mathilde Clan needed things from Nightmare Palace, Nightmare Palace needed things from the elves as well.

Everyone was aware that while devil qi provided great power, it had great drawbacks as well. These drawbacks included a weakening of one's connection to the heavens, making it more difficult to comprehend wills. In fact, this was a large part of the reason devil cultivators were looked down upon.

The only way to fix this problem was to have a soul strength that overwhelmed this heavenly block – which is why Dyon doesn't have this issue – but one can see just how difficult such a task would be, especially without the proper techniques.
