Knowing that this was his end, Gerald braced himself for impact…!
However, moments before the aurablades got to him, a golden light suddenly began emanating from his chest! Soon after, a shield of light enveloped Gerald’s body, preventing the aurablad es from touching the boy at all! Upon seeing that, Ryder’s eyes widened as favonovel.com stammered, “T-that… You… You possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit?!”
The Herculean Primordial Spirit was even more valuable than the martial art techniques stashed in this cave! If favonovel.com got his hands on the primordial spirit, then favonovel.com could truly transcend the cultivation realm and become part of a higher existence…!
With that in mind, Ryder couldn’t help but laugh wickedly as favonovel.com looked up and spread his arms while yelling, “I must be the luckiest man alive today! Once I kill you, I’ll be able to possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit as well! Now have a taste of my Seventh Sword Rain!”
Following the announcement of his attack, numerous aura blades began materializing all around him! Each of them was brimming with a destructive aura, and the pressure of it all was enough to cause even the cavern to rumble…!
Walter himself who was still lying on the ground had his eyes wide in fear as favonovel.com exclaimed, “This… This is the final Thunder Sword Technique…! The Seventh Sword Rain! To think favonovel.com actually managed to master it…!”
Even the underground creatures could sense the quickly approaching crisis, and beasts of all kinds could be seen fleeing in all directions…!
As for Gerald, favonovel.com could now see that even his Herculean Primordial Spirit’s shield was starting to crack from the mighty force…! It was clear as day that the shield wasn’t perfect since Gerald hadn’t learned to fully control his primordial spirit yet!
Knowing that Ryder would obtain the Herculean Primordial Spirit once favonovel.com died, Gerald gritted his teeth before using his final divine thought, ‘I won’t ever hand it to you! Even if I have to die!’
With that, Gerald broke through the mighty pressure before leaping into the Red River!
“Stop…!” roared the shocked Ryder as favonovel.com quickly withdrew his power before bolting toward Gerald!
Unfortunately, favonovel.com was too late! Together with his protective shield, Gerald was now fully submerged in the river! As the river swallowed Gerald whole, however, a strange thing began to happen.
The Septar Dipper Formation started being projected above the Red River’s boundary for some reason!
Was Gerald and his Herculean Primordial Spirit the cause?
Whatever the case was, the formation then began cracking like glass!
Realizing that it was about to shatter, Ryder miserably yelled, “W-what’s going on?! Is the formation breaking?! Is this place going to be destroyed?!”
Knowing that his lifelong dreams were about to shatter together with the formation, the despairing Ryder added, “Please…! Stop this at once! I’ve… I’ve waited too many years for this…! That’s right. Walter! Tell me how to get into the formation! Tell me quickly, god damn it…!”
In response, Walter simply laughed loudly while scoffing, “Hah! It’s all over! Once the formation breaks, the power it releases will surely cause this underground world to collapse, destroying the saintly ruins in the process!”
The second Walter’s sentence ended, an angry roar could be heard!
Now looking incredibly distressed, Ryder shouted, “That… That’s the Redflame Dragon…! I’m so close to it!”
Just as the desperate Ryder was about to end Walter’s life, the formation began glowing in a golden light before releasing a powerful shockwave! It was going to shatter at any moment now…!
