YM778.TV Chapter 504 There Is Something We Don't Know.
That impactful battle ended before it could even begin."
Astaria revealed with a solemn expression on her face.
"W-What?"
"E-E-Emperors… lost?"
Nux and Evane couldn\'t believe what they were hearing.
Weren\'t Emperors the strongest Cultivators in the world, how could they possibly lose?
"Do not underestimate that Mythical Creature, Emperors may very well be the strongest Cultivators in the world, however, even we Emperors couldn\'t possibly go against that Monster."
Astaria spoke with a solemn expression on her face.
"How sure are you?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned.
Astaria looked at him and frowned,
"How sure are you that the story you told us is not just a baseless rumor?"
A perfect doubt.
Any normal person who hears this story would have the same question in his mind. The majority of people in the world don\'t even know about the presence of Emperor Stage Cultivators, for them, Emperor Stage is just a myth.
Saying that there is a Mythical Creature who killed 3 Emperor Stage Cultivators within a blink of an eye was not something anyone could digest without any problems.
Nux was the same.
He couldn\'t accept it either.
He hoped that this was just a rumor believed by the 4 Kingdoms, a legend of sorts.
Astaria, however, thrashed his hopes.
"It is written down in the history of the Skyfall Kingdoms and the other 3 Countries as well. History is not written on basis of baseless rumor, Nux."
"Then what if that creature is already dead? I mean, at the end of the day, nothing can defeat time, can it? How do we know that the creature we fear so much isn\'t dead yet?" Nux questioned.
"Do you think someone who can kill 3 Emperor Stage Cultivators would die that easily?"
Astaria questioned.
"Let\'s be honest here, even you can kill 3 King Stage Cultivators easily, correct? It doesn\'t mean you cannot die, does it?"
Nux questioned back.
"Are you comparing King Stage Cultivators with Emperors?" Astaria narrowed her eyes.
"I know I am wrong to do so, however, no matter how we think about it.
At the end of this, that \'mythical creature\' should be nothing but an 8 Star Beast. It might have a longer lifespan than an Emperor Stage Cultivator, however, I refuse to believe that it is immortal."
"…"
This time, Astaria turned silent.
Nux\'s words might be disrespectful, however, they weren\'t wrong either.
"Just think about this, you said that that Mythical Creature was Lord Akibrus\'s companion, was he not? So most probably, it must be a beast that Lord Akibrus had tamed.
Even Lord Akibrus couldn\'t go against the Trial of time, do you think the beast he made a contract with could do so?"
"…"
Astaria started thinking about it more deeply.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like Nux\'s words were correct.
Different thoughts started appearing in her mind, however, in the end, she shook her head,
"The information we currently have is too inadequate, we can\'t make any assumptions based on theories alone."
"But the Solid Earth Kingdom is already moving, I am sure they didn\'t dare to move on the basis of theories alone either, they must have found something. They must have found a way to be sure about that Mythical Creature\'s whereabouts."
Nux commented and started thinking about different ways to confirm that beast\'s whereabouts.
"Well… it is not that hard…"
Suddenly, Astaria spoke.
Evane and Nux glanced at the woman and frowned,
"What do you mean?"
"The whereabouts about that Mystical Beasts… it is not that hard to confirm it…" Astaria spoke.
Nux and Evane looked at Astaria with deadpan looks on their faces.
\'Why haven\'t you done that yet?\'
That was what their expression was screaming.
Astaria understood it as well, feeling a little ashamed, she clarified herself.
"It is not that confirming its whereabouts is difficult or impossible, it is definitely possible to do that, however, the risk behind it is too much.
No Kingdom would ever dare to take such risk."
"What do you mean?"
Nux questioned with a confused look on his face.
"You remember the Forbidden Zone inside the Bloodhill Wilderness?"
Astaria suddenly questioned.
"Yes I do." Nux nodded, then suddenly, his expression changed,
"You don\'t mean…"
Astaria nodded,
"Yes, that is where that Mythical Creature resides. That Creature doesn\'t like crowds, that is the reason why we restricted everyone from entering that Area.
It is that Creature\'s territory."
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Evane spoke.
Nux and Astaria turned towards Evane and Evane pointed out.
"Didn\'t the Solid Earth Kingdom send an army into the Forbidden Region a century ago? If they knew about the Mythical Creature, why did they do something foolish?"
"Well, we had the same questions as well, however, since their actions didn\'t affect other Kingdoms, we just let them be." Astaria shrugged.
"Also, not everyone knows about the Mythical Creature, this information is only passed through the Emperors of the Nation. There are chances that the King of the Solid Earth Kingdom didn\'t know about it and he sent an army inside the Forbidden Region due to his greed.
There are chances that Herms wasn\'t aware of this action and by the time he was, it was already too late."
Astaria continued.
Nux, however, had a different thought in his mind,
"So you are telling me that the Solid Earth Kingdom sent an army to where the strongest existence in this world lives, to the region where even the Emperors fear to go in, without telling their protector?
I find that highly unlikely.
Also, the fact that the Solid Earth Kingdom is moving the way it is moving proves that they definitely know something we don\'t.
And wasn\'t there a survivor in this expedition? There is no way the all-strong Mythical Creature, who killed Emperors like it was nothing failed to kill normal cultivators. There has to be something else going on here.
Something we don\'t know and
Something that we must know."
