Chapter 2534: Chapter 2532: The Guardian’s Arrangement?

For an instant, his body became like a bomb, on the verge of exploding, but a vine directly slashed over.

His body was instantly split in two by Elder Baker, and as his Divine Soul just soared into the sky, it was directly crushed into powder.

“Why did you ambush Aziel Bian!!”

Someone from Ethereal Peak shouted loudly, already pulling out a magical artifact towards Elder Baker.

Everything happened too quickly, and many people were still in confusion.

“His Divine Soul core was controlled by the Demon Clan, there was no saving him. If we didn’t kill him just now, he would have exploded.”

Peak Master Zhanpu’s face was also very grim. He naturally understood how terrifying even the smallest race of the Demon Tribe Beings could be, but he hadn’t expected the legendary Demon Clan to appear among them.

“This is bad. Zhanpu is part of the second batch of learners of the Star-Moon Simultaneous Brilliance Technique. He has practically learned the complete Skill Technique. If this technique falls into the hands of the Demon clan, who knows what could happen.”

The peak master stomped his foot in frustration; a demon had slipped right under his nose, and he hadn’t detected it.

If this technique is leaked, it could have dire consequences for the Hominini.

“It’s as if the Different Races have firsthand knowledge. Aziel Bian might have been possessed by a Sky Demon long ago. Could it be that when teaching the first batch the Star and Moon Shine Together, the Different Races discovered something? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent these rare Demon Clan members.”

Ethan Smith furrowed his brow, feeling like a pair of eyes were constantly watching him from above, causing great unease.

If there are powerful experts among the Demon clan, planning an unexpected ambush, the cultivators involved in this campaign could be in great danger.

“For now, let’s cultivate near Lorncloud City. If a team goes on expedition, it should be nearby and not too far away.”

Ethan Smith said, frowning; until a method is found, this would have to do for now.

After dealing with this, Ethan Smith only later felt the aftershock of fear.

If this hidden danger wasn’t discovered, who knows what unexpected changes might occur in the future.

He resumed utilizing the Star and Moon Shine Together, examining its Star Cloud Map.

This time, after careful examination, he didn’t find any stars as dim as Aziel Bian, allowing him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

However, he did find some less bright spots within it.

Just as he was about to investigate further, a vertigo-like sensation suddenly surged.

Ethan Smith’s vision went black, nearly collapsing to the ground.

At this moment, his Divine Soul Power was completely drained; investigating the Star Cloud Map consumed so much Divine Soul Power!

Ethan Smith shook his head; continuing the investigation now was unrealistic.

He could only wait for his Divine Soul Power to recover before trying again, though these stars were just a bit dim.

Unlike Aziel Bian from before, so Ethan Smith felt a bit more at ease after comparing.

Ethan Smith sat cross-legged on the ground, meticulously going through the Skill Technique left by his father, which didn’t contain any records related to the Star Cloud Map, leaving him quite frustrated.

He now had a hypothesis, perhaps the brightness of these stars represented the acceptance level of those cultivating this Skill Technique.

The more aligned they are with the unity of Star and Moon Shine Together, the deeper they could integrate and unleash more formidable combined force.

But if someone does not resonate, it shows an unusual color.

Ethan Smith felt this was highly likely, but this was only his guess; the specifics required further contemplation.

“Dad, such an extraordinary Skill Technique, at the very least you should have left more detailed instructions!”

Ethan Smith suddenly had an idea, moving to the Peak Master’s side.

“Peak Master, I need to ask you something.”

Ethan Smith recounted the Star Cloud Map to the Peak Master, but the Peak Master looked bewildered.

He thoroughly practiced the Skill Technique, feeling a vast Starforce, but there was no path of stars as Ethan Smith described.

“Willa, get over here!”

Zhanpu shouted loudly; Willa’s body shivered, worried he’d done something wrong again.

After some exchange, Ethan Smith found that Willa didn’t experience the same situation.

Willa was one of the earliest to learn the Star-Moon Simultaneous Brilliance Technique. Having known Ethan Smith for a long time, Ethan Smith had directly shared the complete Skill Technique with him, and his understanding of Star-Moon Simultaneous Brilliance wasn’t bad.

“Perhaps it involves Bloodline Power. You previously told me this Skill Technique is a legacy from your father the Guardian, and maybe it’s your Smith family bloodline that could activate the Skill Technique’s full potential.”

The Peak Master speculated.

Ethan Smith was suddenly taken aback, and the Peak Master’s words prompted some memories, an idea surfacing in his Sea of Knowledge.

“Thanks, Peak Master!”

He quickly returned to his place of seclusion, pondering over the Peak Master’s words.

Maybe there was some truth to what the Peak Master said, including his desolate divine eye, which he had come across an eyeball on Earth accidentally, but afterward his bloodline fused with it, eventually evolving it into the double desolate divine eye.

Moreover, this desolate divine eye was extremely powerful, analyzing the Origin.

It allowed Ethan Smith to master the Power of rules in a short time, which was key to Ethan Smith’s path to identity anomaly.

“Could it be that what my father left behind was also under surveillance, so he dared not leave more detailed instructions? If so, what kind of entity could monitor a Guardian?”

Shock appeared on Ethan Smith’s face.

Father, these are the means you’ve left behind?

What message are you trying to convey, or what are you leaving behind to fight against Heaven and Earth?

“Yao Immortal Emperor, Lord Yao, are you awake?”

Ethan Smith took out the Nine-lives Coffin, gently knocking on the lid.

Since arriving here, he sought every possible way to increase his power.

The Source of Deadly Poison was one, and Star-Moon Simultaneous Brilliance was another.

However, to find the Source of Deadly Poison, the Heart of the Ocean Torrent’s aid was needed, contingent on defeating the Flaming Chief.

Yet now, as if under surveillance from some unseen force, he could only inquire if Yao Immortal Emperor had a solution.

Otherwise, both paths would remain blocked.

“What is it now, kid?”

Yao Immortal Emperor kicked open the coffin lid, asking impatiently, seemingly annoyed at being disturbed.

“Just had a question, no need to get worked up. Are you hungry? Should I have someone prepare a meal for you?”

Ethan Smith quickly lowered his attitude and showed a friendly smile.

“Spit it out, I’ve already given you two crucial pieces of information, enough to let me recuperate here.”

Yao Immortal Emperor’s expression turned slightly angry, with a hint of killing intent coursing through his withered skin.

“I mean, Immortal Emperor, don’t get exited, just wanted to ask if you have a way to evade surveillance. Since coming to Purgatory, it seems the Different Races are watching me, but I’m not sure how they’re doing it.”

Ethan Smith quickly explained.
