Prime Originator

Chapter 320 - No Work, No Meat!

Leon sighed after the ordeal was finally over. With the death of the sect master, the Bloodfiend Sect was finished in its truest sense.

However.

Leon frowned when he recalled Balthazar's last words. It was full of hidden implications and did not seem to have been said out of spite.

The origins of the Bloodfiend Sect's techniques were quite dubious. Could they have been colluding with demons? In that case, Balthazar would have been referring to the demons. The demons were planning to destroy the planet?

That should not be the case. Demons slaughter the weak and enslave the strong, but they still needed a habitable planet to survive.

Wiping out the planet would mean wiping out themselves, not to mention they need to have an incredibly strong demon at the level of the Divine King realm, a Demon King, to pull it off.

If there was a Demon King on Planet Gaia that intended to destroy the world, the world would have been fucked long ago.

Leon furrowed his brows and began to ponder deeper, but no matter how much he pondered, everything was mere speculations.

"It seems I need to start looking on the other side if I want to find my answers." Leon softly murmured before he had a look of determination. "Wait for me, mom! I will come save you soon!"

In the distance, Don's laughter could be heard echoing over as the said person soon dragged his body over and patted Leon's shoulders with both hands. "Hahaha! Well done, Leon boy! I—Ahem, I knew you could do it!"

Leon gave Grandmaster Don a sidelong glance and said, "Did you, Grandpa Don? Did you really? You didn't seem all that confident in me when you retreated so far away, though?" Leon doubted.

"I—Er… Of course, I was confident. I was trying not to get in your way, don't you know that? Did you forget how that old thing almost hacked me to death?" Don retorted shamelessly.

Leon shook his head with a soft laugh.

"How are you feeling, Grandpa Don?"

"Great, actually!" Don's eyes lit up before he praised, "The recovery medicine was super effective! Do you have any left? How about gifting Grandpa Don some more?"

Leon did not refuse Don's request and directly passed the grandmaster two pill bottles of Tier-3 All-Purpose Healing Pills.

Don gladly received the pill bottles before opening one of the caps and took a whiff on the high-quality medicinal scent.

"Leon boy, you actually have so many pills of this quality?" Don was pleasantly surprised after finding 10 pills in each bottle, before asking, "Where did get all the high-quality spirit herbs to refine these?"

"If Grandpa Don needs spirit herbs, perhaps Grandpa Don should pay a visit to the World Tree some time and ask some wood-users to help Grandpa Don cultivate them. The spirit energy there is vibrant." Leon answered in a roundabout way.

"Oh? Grandpa Don was planning on travel after this. It seems Grandpa Don must pay a visit to that place first."

"You were? Where are you planning to go, Grandpa Don?" Leon asked with surprise.

After a quick talk, Leon found out where Don was heading and why he was heading there.

The Transcendent realm was not the same as the Awakener and Ranked Awakener realms. If one wants to progress further in the Transcendent realm, one needed a suitable environment to comprehend the laws.

For this purpose, Don intended to head to the Ishaan Kingdom, where it was said to be the hottest place in the Human Domain.

"Alright, Grandpa Don's going to find your father for a talk and ease his worries."

"But before that, Grandpa Don might want to go find some clothes," Leon said with a soft laugh.

The grandmaster alchemist's pajamas were burnt away in the battle. All he had left to cover himself was a layer of flames.

Don was taken aback after a quick glance at himself before he nodded without the slightest shame, "En, that's true."

After Don left, Leon swept at look at the destruction around him before shaking his head.

"It seems the Upper District will also need to undergo some reconstruction. Fortunately, it's only the Upper East District that has been mainly affected by the battle."

Soon after, Leon's eyes fell back on Balthazar's corpse with black goo oozing out of his pores and orifices.

"I should clean up my mess first… father will take care of the rest." Leon mused.

He bent down and carefully searched through Balthazar's half-destroyed clothes with divine sense. Finding nothing of importance, he shifted his focus to the head.

"No Transcendent Crystal?"

Leon was surprised to find nothing, nothing at all.

Elemental seeds quickly disperse all its energy after Awakeners die, but Transcendent Crystals hold the crystallization of their law's comprehension and would not dissipate for a long time.

Therefore, they were able to find so many Transcendent Crystals from the previous era when they unearthed the deeper parts of the underground.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Leon discovered something in the heart region and located onto it with his divine sense. The thing seemed to have also realized that it was found out and quickly shot out from Balthazar's chest and tried to escape.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Leon made a quick grasp with his hand and controlled the earth's surrounding rubbles to wrap around the thing and restrict its movement. Shortly after, it was brought back in front of him for a closer inspection.

The thing squirmed within the countless rubbles plastered to its body. It resisted and try to break free, but to no avail.

It had the appearance of blood crystal but appeared to be tainted with demonic energy. Two pairs of black pointy legs could be seen sticking out from the bottom and seemed rather creepy.

Leon sighed.

"Even Transcendent Crystals can be demonized. This must be the result of a Demon Seed fusing with the blood crystal. Too bad this blood crystal can no longer be used, but that is fine. This discovery more than makes up for it."

The Bloodfiend Sect was related to the demons.

Leon clenched his fist and crushed the crystal demon, shattering it into fragments like broken glass. After that, he waved his flaming hand and reduced everything to ashes, including Balthazar's corpse.

He cleaned up every trace of blood-eroding poison and proceeded to do the same to the rest of the poison where the core disciples were killed.

It was too irresponsible of him to leave behind such a dangerous thing for others to clean up. It would be bad if it fell into the wrong hand.

Once Leon was done with clean up, he collected his spear and silver needles scattered across the area before making his way over to the tri-building of Lost Isle Alley.

One of the buildings had been cleanly shaved off diagonally from the middle. The other two buildings were also either missing a third or a quarter of their upper section.

None of the buildings were in one piece, and the darkness profound energy escaped after the heaven gathering formation was destroyed, revealing the inside of Lost Alley Isle.

Leon sighed with relief after seeing the Teleportation Array in one piece.

If any of the attacks had been 6 feet lower, the Teleportation Array would have been caught in the attack.

"I should make some preparations and recover some strength first." Leon carefully considered with a frown.

If he chooses to teleport to the other side of the Teleportation Array now and run into a strong demon, not only would he not be saving anyone, he will also lose his life in vain.

After cleaning his body, Leon tossed away the ragged old clothes and took out a new set of common clothes from the Worldspace.

"I'll probably need to buy some new clothes while I'm at it."

Leon recalled the nice tailor shop in the Lower District he visited once. He wondered if the tailor shop's owner had been able to survive the spider disaster back then.

The first ray of sunlight soon shined on Leon's face and started the next day. He ran back through an entire night and fought until morning, but he did not feel tired.

In fact, he felt relaxed. No rest was needed. What is sleep even?

Shaking his head, Leon ingested a few pills and decided to head over to the workshop and fix his weapon, and forge some more items while he was over there.

…

Shortly after Leon left, palace guards arrived at the site and began directing dozens of city guards, hundreds of soldiers, and labor workers. They worked together to clear out the rubbles and patch up the cracks and craters in the ground.

"Move it, move it, move it! We have a lot of work to do today, people! Those who are too slow will not be getting any meat for breakfast!" A stern palace guard shouted.

"Ehhh? That is too cruel, Sir! You can't do that!"

A few people at the 2nd layer of the Body Tempering realm protested while the rest of the labor workers at the 3rd layer of the Body Tempering realm went straight into work without complaint.

"I'm afraid I can! His Majesty has given me free rein to decide what you can and cannot eat!" The palace guard grinned.

"Don't you know? Meat is a luxury now! All beast meat businesses with the Western Frontier had been cut off due to the recent strange events happening in the Wildlands! You should be happy that I am even giving you the option of having meat! If you don't want to lose it, then quickly get to work!"

"Y-Yes, Sir!"

The few ignorant labor workers were immediately shocked with wide eyes. They were not allowed to purchase beast meat from the Western Frontier anymore? What exactly was going on over there?
