âThisâ¦â
Just then, Donovan Orlando saw Alex move, reaching out and absorbing the Chaos Beads one by one.
It looked effortless to Alex, as easy as picking rocks up from the ground.
When all four Chaos Beads were in his hands, Alex looked over to Donovan and smiled, revealing a
white row of teeth.
âThanks a lot! Youâre such a good person, giving me all the shattered Chaos Beads like that. Iâll
definitely make good use of them.â
Alexâs words immediately caused fury to surge through Donovanâs mind.
But in the next instant, Alex directly retracted all four shattered Chaos Beads into his mind palace.
âBlargh!â
Donovan violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The divine soul connection between him and the shattered Chaos Beads was severed abruptly and
forcefully.
âIâll kill you!â Donovan rushed back in, intending to snatch back his shattered Chaos Beads.
But Neela instantly appeared in front of Alex with a smile on her face. âMy Lord, not only does this guy
have shattered Chaos Beads, but I can see that he has great defensive treasures in his body. Itâs of
reasonable quality, so letâs grab that too!â
âHoly sh*tâ¦â
Donovan and some others from the Sun Shrine opened their eyes wide with incredulity.
âMy Lordâ¦â
What did she mean by that?!
In other words, Alex was the one who had signed a contract with the Benares Dragon. So, it was them
who had dug their own graves, and foolishly killed each other because of that?
How sinister!
How could this guy be so sinister?!
Alex laughed and said, âSure. It just so happens that you lack defensive treasure, and Iâve seen it in his
body. It looks like an ancient bronze bell. Letâs take it and study it.â
With that, he and Neela darted forwardâ¦
âF*ck!â
Donovan weighed the pros and cons, before choosing to run away.
Sh*t! This wasnât worth losing blood over!
Alex had thought that his teleportation was already considered fast, but he didnât expect Donovan to be
like a child adorned with jewels. There was no shortage of treasures on him, and he actually pulled out
a flag that had blood-red embroidery of strange symbols on them.
He then waved it with a strong force. In the next second, he and his subordinates disappeared without
a trace!
âUhh..?â
âNeela, what kind of magic treasure is this?â
Alex was baffled. It was even more awesome than his instant teleportation.
Neela furrowed her brows. âItâs a little like prehistoric legendary Innate spiritual treasure, the Five
Elements Flag.
Alex froze for what seemed like half a day, before asking with deep sorrow, âDo you think we can still
do anything? Are we going to just let Innate spiritual treasure disappear in front of our eyes?â
Neela shook her head slightly. âThe Five Elements Flag is capable of breaking through the void and
vanishing without a trace. We wonât be able to find them.â
Alex let out a sigh and dwelled on it no more. To have obtained four shattered Chaos Beads was
already a great harvest Now, all eight shattered Chaos Beads hung above the Chaos Tree, emitting a
faint light.
With the eight beads gathered together, the aura they emitted changed greatly.
They seemed as though they were breathing.
***
Neela had said that this was the Infernal Realm.
It was created by an ancient emperor with three fragments of Six Eternities. Alex remembered what the
Phaseless Dweller had once said, that what he wanted was the Jade of Six Paths, so it was probably
that.
With neither of them having any idea, Alex decided to continue heading eastward. He had a feeling that
the clue the old manâs puppet gave before it died must have some significance.
Thus, he headed all the way east.
On the way, he encountered many puppet immortals, but with Neelaâs help, these were all basically law
stones that delivered themselves into his hands.
An unknown amount of time passed, and when Alex entered a stone ruin, he saw a woman, covered in
blood, lying on the ground.
It was Hermione Yggdrasil!
