‘This…’
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.
“Thanks a lot! You’re such a good person, giving me all the shattered Chaos Beads like that. I’ll definitely make good use of them.”
Alex’s words immediately caused fury to surge through Donovan’s mind.
But in the next instant, Alex directly retracted all four shattered Chaos Beads into his mind palace.
“Blargh!”
Donovan violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The divine soul connection between him and the shattered Chaos Beads was severed abruptly and forcefully.
“I’ll kill you!” 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. “My Lord, not only does this guy have shattered Chaos Beads, but I can see that he has great defensive treasures in his body. It’s of reasonable quality, so let’s grab that too!”
‘Holy sh*t…’
Donovan and some others from the Sun Shrine opened their eyes wide with incredulity.
‘My Lord…’
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, “Sure. It just so happens that you lack defensive treasure, and I’ve seen it in his body. It looks like an ancient bronze bell. Let’s take it and study it.”
With that, he and Neela darted forward…
“F*ck!”
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 man’s 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 Neela’s 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!
