Chapter 1224: Inner Sect Elder Emil!


    ?


    Just a few minutester, after the theft of Crimson tinum, a tall, wizened human with long crimson hair and donned in long crimson robes appeared; it was none other than the Inner Court Elder of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, Elder Emil.


    Elder Emil was one of the few elders who didn''t hail from the four ns; nheless, he was still part of a n that had been under the Oriente n''s rule for six generations.


    This means that his n ancestor achieved inner-sect elder status on his own before the Oriente n took him under its wing. After Emil achieved the Ascension Master Realm, he and his n got to enjoy the fruits of his ancestor''sbor because of his ancestor''s connection with the Oriente n.


    There were many such cases in the AIG Sect, like Emil and his n, especially in the inner sect court of the AIG sect because that was the ce where the four ns normally recruited members for their ns, who were actually servants and guards. Only those who could climb their way into the Chief Hall Court could join the four n branches or even the main n, depending on their talent and importance.


    Emil, because of his Inner Sect Elder status, was also in the Oriente n''s good books, and that''s why he was even given a Hall Elder position in the Inner Sect''s Inferno me Hall, which was slightly higher than an ordinary Inner me Elder.


    But Emil was always ambitious. He wanted to join the main n of the Oriente n because he knew it was the only way to truly enter the upper echelon of the AIG Sect and have a truly powerful backing.


    However, he knew it was impossible because his talent was only above average. He had exhausted itpletely after reaching the 1-Star Ascension Master Realm (4th Realm), and there was no more hope for any breakthrough unless he stumbled upon some heaven-defying opportunity before his lifespan ran out.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    In Early Law State Stages (Ascension Soldier, Warrior, and Grand General), one''s lifespan increased by 10,000 years every time one breaks into a new realm until one reaches the Ascension Master Realm.


    This also marks the start of the Intermediate Law State (Ascension Master, Grandmaster, Guardian). In the realms of Intermediate Law Stages, each realm provides a lifespan of 20,000 until they enter the Late Law Stages (7th, 8th, and 9th Realms).


    However, each stage of the Law State was extremely difficult to cross because, at each stage, one had to undergo a Heavenly Law Tribtion, which was a hundred times worse than the Heavenly Tribtion. One also needed to cross the Elemental State and be a Law State. Like the three stages of the Law State, the Heavenly Law Tribtion was divided into Early, Intermediate, and Late Stages. It was rumored that thete stage of the Heavenly Law Tribtion needed to be crossed at the eighth realm if someone wanted to reach the 9th ascension realm because it was the peak of the Law State. The following state was above it, and the heavenly tribtion would be even more dreadful!


    Anyhow, every cultivator fears the Heavenly Tribtion, and they make ample preparations before they undergo any of it. Some sects even have special treasures and formations that can greatly increase their chances of crossing the heavenly tribtion.


    But still, there was always a 90% chance of one dying in Heavenly Law Tribtions if they didn''t have the resolve of a true cultivator, and that''s why some people didn''t dare to undergo Heavenly Law Tribtion for their whole lives and waited for their final years before taking their chances.


    Now, Emil was one such cultivator who didn''t have the guts to undergo the Heavenly Law Tribtion of Early Law State because he was afraid of death and knew he wouldn''t be able to cross it. He was also not influential enough that the Sect or Oriente n would provide him with help to undergo this tribtion.


    After all, it wasn''t cheap to go against thew of heaven, and the things that were capable of it were very rare and precious. The AIG Sect had a Law Tribtion tform for earlyw state heavenly tribtion that could increase the chances of someone crossing into the


    intermediate state by 15%.


    But using ites at a huge cost, and the entire wealth of an Inner Sect Elder wasn''t enough unless they had connections or performed an achievement worthy of the price.


    In the end, Emil didn''t have any, so in his final years, he left the sect to try his luck and undergo the tribtion because if he somehow seeded, he would have 20,000 years of lifespan again, a gamble that he had nothing to lose and everything to gain.


    By some miracle, he really seeded and became an Ascension Master, but suppressing his cultivation and dying the tribtion for such a long timepletely ruined his talent, and he could no longer break through further.


    This was an effect of dying one''s breakthrough, especially a breakthrough rted to the Heavenly Tribtion. Every sect knew this, and that''s why a sect would not let its members'' talents dy such breakthroughs and help them cross the heavenly tribtion as soon as possible before it affected their talents.


    Still, the person should also have the guts to face the Heavenly Tribtion. Otherwise, no matter how much effort or resources the others put into it, it would be meaningless and wasted because of a crucial factor of the Heavenly Law Tribtion.


    Anyhow, at that time, before he undergoes the life and death struggle, he stumbled upon the Beast Cmity Mountain Range and discovered the Crimson tinum Mountain guarded by Mountain Tyrant.


    At that time, the beast was only at the peak of the Ascension Soldier Realm, and with Emil''s prowess as a peak Ascension Grand General, the Mountain Tyrant had no choice but to submit to him.


    Furthermore, Emil knew what crimson tinum was, a Spirit Metal that could make Spirit Treasures. From the moment he discovered it, he knew it was an opportunity for him to cultivate further as long as he could exchange it for alchemy treasures that could rejuvenate his cultivation talent to some extent.


    But at that time, the Crimson tinum wasn''t even born yet. It was only in its embryo state, so Emil knew if he wanted to benefit from it, he could only do it if he were able to live long enough, and if he told anyone about it, there was a risk of getting backstabbed.


    So, he decided to leave it to fate and undergo the tribtion. If he seeded, he would have a way to further cultivate once the Crimson tinum was born, and in the end, he seeded.


    It''s been over three thousand years since he had undergone his firstw tribtion, and the Crimson tinum was almost in his clutches.


    Yet, at this moment, what he saw made him bewildered. The crimson tinum mountain was raised to debris without any trace of the Spirit Metal, and at this moment, a colossal silhouette appeared right in front of him, roaring, "Emil! Where is the Crimson tinum!?" ''It''s not an illusion?!'' Emil snapped out of his stupor and looked at Mountain Tyrant, who was looking at him with bloodshot eyes as if Emil had murdered his entire race.


    Startled at first, he quickly felt rage and anger take over as he instantly released his spiritual pressure, filled with fiery heat, on the Mountain Tyrant and Beast. Despite being so close to reaching the Ascension Grand General, the beast was no match for Emil''s Ascension Master cultivation and plummeted to the ground under Emil''s pressure.


    Emil''s emitted terrifying killing intent as he icily questioned, "Where the fuck is MY crimson tinum!?"


    The situation instantly reversed, and because of its own anger, Mountain Tyrant lost his reasons andpletely forgot that he was no match for Emil. Just like Mountain Tyrant considered the Crimson tinum his life, Emil was the same!


    Mountain Tyrant failed to consider the consequences of Emil discovering the absence of Crimson tinum. He should''ve escaped while it could, but now, it was all over!
