Chapter 776: Chapter 620: You, with Your Thick Eyebrows and Big Eyes Part 2

The Bear Fraction of the Demon Hunters had already started to take shape, but Roger’s attention during this time was entirely focused on his understanding of the Cat Fraction as well as the Alder Sword Seal.

He hadn’t delved deeply into the power of the Bear Fraction.

This time, through close observation, he could feel the unique tenacity and strength of the Atlas Great Bear, and this feeling also caused his understanding of the Quinn Sword Seal to surge dramatically.

With a new idea in his heart, the Quinn Sword Seal changed accordingly.

Without rash experimentation, Roger stood behind Sword Master Funiu, feeling the wild and aggressive power that made the entire space tremble along with it.

Sword Master Funiu appeared relaxed at first, but his composure soon vanished, turning cautious, until eventually, a hint of panic showed on his face.

The power emanating from the other side seemed to have no end like the tide and was growing more frantic with time.

At this rate, in no time at all, Sword Master Funiu’s defense would be shattered to pieces.

“Retreat, leave this place!”

“I can’t hold on much longer!”

Sword Master Funiu shouted loudly.

“Use that ability you mentioned earlier, let’s leave together, I can barely buy you a little bit of time.”

Roger also said urgently.

But as they spoke, Sword Master Funiu was pushed back a step, and the broad sword in front of him trembled violently.

Every muscle in his body was strained to the limit, his face bulging with veins.

“Go quickly, back to that crack. I lied earlier; that Beast Fang doesn’t have the power to teleport, it can only provide defense during transit through a spatial channel. Where we end up being sent is beyond our control.”

Distracted by speaking, Sword Master Funiu’s aura weakened, nearly knocked down by the opposing energy.

Roger’s expression changed, had it not been a critical moment, he truly wanted to kick this seemingly refined middle-aged man to the ground.

Such bushy eyebrows and big eyes.

A blatant liar.

Roger’s figure flickered, but soon he realized the gap they had entered through had disappeared, the whole space completely isolated like an island at sea.

All they could do was passively endure the violent onslaught.

“The crack has vanished.”

Roger shouted loudly.

By now, Sword Master Funiu’s clothes were torn, and his skin showed bloodstains, clearly unable to protect his own body anymore.

In the blinking shadow, Roger was ready to enter the Shadow World at any moment.

As for Sword Master Funiu…

Crack, crack, crack.

Just as the defense was about to collapse and Sword Master Funiu was about to be completely crushed, the elderly figure kneeling on the ground behind him burst into a glow on his face.

The Pale Blood within him was activated, initially faint, but in the blink of an eye, the small flame erupted with terrifying power.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The Pale Blood ignited in the elder was not just his own but also that of his clansmen behind him with the same bloodline!

Boom!

On every person.

No matter their height or position, no matter their strength or weakness, at this moment, the power of their bloodlines connected everyone as one.

Then, these forces converged, pouring into the Beast Fang above Sword Master Funiu’s head.

The next moment, Roger witnessed the rise of a primeval behemoth.

With its feet planted on the ground, its massive forelimbs lifting upwards, the entire space seemed unable to contain the giant creature’s body and seemed about to burst open.

A moment of clarity rising in his heart, Roger suddenly realized that all the elders of the Atlas clan who chose to come here at the end of their lives were not trying to escape.

That door was a seal.

They didn’t intend to open it.

But to prevent it from being opened.

Roger did not know if, over the years, all the ancestors of the Atlas clan had come one after another to prevent this door from being opened?

Or was it because of a sudden accident that leaked the power behind the door, killing everyone here?

No.

Seeing the raging Great Bear tear the surging power to shreds, Roger seemed to understand the traits of the Atlas Great Bear.

The bizarre ritualistic poses and the naturally spreading positions, he hadn’t even noticed the several prompts that popped up on the notification board.

The light belonging to Quinn Sword Seal in his mind instantly intensified, and correspondingly, the power of the Sword Seal dramatically increased.

Like waves crashing and hurricanes howling.

Soon, the tumultuous energy filling the entire space calmed down, and Sword Master Funiu staggered, his body drenched in sweat.

Crack.

A crisp sound came, originating from the first person kneeling before the door, followed by the second, and the crisp sounds quickly carried on in succession, spreading to the body of the previous Sword Master Funiu.

Boom!

Energy erupted, and everybody’s bodies turned into the tiniest particles, which drifted in the air before entering the Broad Sword in front of Sword Master Funiu.

His figure trembling slightly, Roger sensed that within the hidden depths of Sword Master Funiu’s body, the originally faint Bloodline Power surged rapidly.

It became vast and weighty.

Here, permeated by the distinct rules of the Western World, Sword Master Funiu’s power increased, officially stepping into the rank of a Sword Master!

What condensed around him was Bloodline Power leftover by all ancestors who had ever existed in Everworld.

His muscles tensed and bulged, then slowly relaxed, returning to normal.

Sword Master Funiu gripped the Broad Sword in his hand and slowly turned his head.

“So that’s how it is.”

He sighed.

“It turns out the portal has always been there, and the power beyond it is very unstable; for countless years, something seems to have been trying to penetrate this portal.”

“We need the power of the West, yet we cannot allow it to be completely opened.”

“Thus, guarding and controlling this place became the mission of all ancestors.”

“In areas enveloped by Western rules, their lifespans were extended, but the rules of Everworld inherent within them prevented them from obtaining longevity as they could in the Western World.”

“To continue the lineage, they could only burn themselves at their peak and then preserve the Bloodline Power within them.”

“That way, those who come after can lead the power within them to guard this place well.”

“Until the arrival of the next successor.”

Roger looked towards where the previous Sword Master Funiu had once knelt.

It was now empty.

Clearly, before his life reached its limit, the previous Sword Master Funiu came here, needing to adhere to his family’s mission, waiting for the successor to arrive.

Perhaps, they might summon and guide him even before the life of Sword Master Funiu reached its conclusion.

Unfortunately, some accident occurred here not long ago, and a sudden burst of energy instantly killed him, preventing him from passing on his will.

However, the change in the energy of the entire space eventually alerted Sword Master Funiu, leading to this exploration.

Now that the truth has been uncovered, but at the same time, the portal they had always been protecting cracked open, leading to dangers beyond, unknown to all.

“Do you plan to reseal this door?” Roger asked.

“It’s too late for that.” Sword Master Funiu clenched his fist.

“The situation has been out of control since that energy killed my father, it was all just a matter of time.”

“Furthermore…”

A trace of fatigue flickered across his face.

“We have borne too much.”

“In order to continue and survive, we had to conceal the truth from the vast majority of people, carefully manipulate it, and too much sin and chaos have occurred on Qinglu Mountain over the years.”

“Some were stopped…”

“Yet some are still unfolding.”

Roger wasn’t sure which events Sword Master Funiu specifically referred to, but from the attitudes reflected by Yuan Guanghai and Red Sparrow, he could roughly guess some things.

Such malformed development was bound to cause great chaos eventually.

In fact, the Atlas Clansmen had nearly reached their limit by managing to hold on until this point.

“Whatever lies ahead, I plan to take a look.”

“Because with the next eruption, we will have nowhere to retreat.”

Sword Master Funiu glanced at Roger, “Young friend, will you join me?”

Though he was far more powerful now than before, Roger’s earlier actions had already earned the friendship of Sword Master Funiu.

Setting aside differences in status and power, he chose to engage with Roger on equal terms.

“I certainly can’t miss something as interesting as this.” Roger smiled.

Then he changed the subject suddenly.

“But before we go in, you at least need to tell me, other than the teleportation, which of the things you mentioned earlier were just offhand remarks?”

“I really shouldn’t have believed your nonsense!”
