Chapter 760 The Memories Of Grim Ancestor (3)

Ace squinted his eyes, “Not dead? You mean, like the Grim Ancestor, he also had the ability to preserve his life?”

He was not a fool or new to this sort of thing anymore, and he now understood there were some extremely terrifying abilities that let others cheat the natural order, even death. bo𝚟𝚕.

Freya didn’t hide the truth either as she nodded, “Of course, this is the Grim Winged Serpent Clan’s racial ability that they awake after entering the Law Awareness Realm, called the Last Soul Dominator!

“This ability not only allow the Grim Winged Serpent Race to escape with a wisp of the soul during their last moment of death, but it can almost make that wisp of soul virtually immortal.

“As long as the wisp of soul stays dormant and doesn’t find a new host, it can’t be dissipated. However, this ability has a major flaw, which is once the serpent selects its new host, it has to stick with it until it takes full control over the body. Moreover, it has to keep the host’s soul alive so he can devour it at the Law Awareness Realm and achieve full rebirth.

“During this period, if anything happened to the host soul or the new body, the Grim Winged Serpent would’ve died with it. Because without a full rebirth, it can’t use the Last Soul Dominator ability.

“Furthermore, if the host wanted, it can also easily get rid of the wisp of soul. In the Grim Ancestor and Jessie’s case, the Grim Ancestor carefully played his part as an old master and used her greed to take over her body slowly.

“Once he led her to the Beast Continent, it was completely over for her because there he found the Beast Ancestor, who is none other than his father, the old Ancient Beast Emperor, and had his help!”

Ace was shocked by this revelation, “Didn’t this mean…”

Freya smiled meaningfully and nodded, “Yes, the old fossil Ancient Beast Emperor is still alive and kicking. The Ancient Beast Emperor was the one who told the Grim Ancestor about the secret of the Last Soul Dominator and even used it as leverage to manipulate his son so he could recover to his peak state during his first rebirth.

“Not only that but this father and son had been the ones behind the orchestrating of the Race Supremacy War. They both cunningly sown seeds of rebellions within the races who had been under the servitude of the three allied races.

“However, in that war, the Grim Ancestor had met with bad luck by encountering the Demon Race Leader Albert, and met with his doom and only managed to escape with a wisp of soul.

“But unlike his father, the Ancient Beast Emperor, he had been just a new Law Awareness Realm Cultivator and had awakened the ability. Although he had managed to use it, he fell into a very long slumber without any preparation.

“When he had awakened, he found himself in an old ruin with no one around, and he remained there for almost five hundred years, nearly going insane until this girl Jessie found him. He was naturally shocked about finding the ten continents, which was once just a single one, and finally understood just how long it had been since he ‘died.'”

Ace felt this matter was really quite startling, but the piece about how the ten continents came into existence was still missing. Nonetheless, all this information was really an eye-opener for him, especially the truth about the Ancient Beast Emperor being still alive!

However, Freya suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t tell me Leader thinks this was the important matter I talked about earlier? This was just the introduction to the Grim Ancestor’s true background.

“Now I’ll tell you the matter; it is when the Ancient Beast Emperor and the Grim Ancestor had orchestrated the second war, they did it with two purposes. The first had been naturally to weaken the three allied races and possibly take back control of their lands.

“The second reason had been to acquire the method of summoning foreign races for themselves so they could also use it to increase their forces. At that time, the Grim Ancestor had gotten the wind that the demons were keeping that method, and because of his greed, he hadn’t even told the Ancient Beast Emperor.

“He had undermined the Ancient Beast Emperor and launched a full-scale attack on the demons while he snuck deep into their territory while the demons were preoccupied with keeping the beast race in check.

“The demons at that time also had built the demon temple, and Grim Ancestor was after that temple because he thought the method was right inside it.

“With powerful cultivation and a powerful concealment treasure, he’d managed to sneak into the demon temple and found their deity’s massive statue. There were two things the deity was holding in his hand, a scroll and an orb filled with lightning.

“The Grim Ancestor had directly gone to the scroll, but it was also his biggest mistake. Because the moment he took the scroll from the deity’s hand, something had triggered, and his entire body petrified on the spot, and soon Albert arrived.

“Knowing his impending doom, he had stored the scroll he took from the deity statue’s hand in his storage ring and then stored that storage ring with the wisp of his soul when he activated the Last Soul Dominator ability, taking away the mysterious scroll!”

Ace’s heart palpitated when he heard the part about the demon temple and how deadly it was, and he couldn’t help but thank his luck that he hadn’t had to go there by himself to retrieve the elemental orb.

Furthermore, he was even more astonished about the fact that the demons had the lightning orb even at that time. But he still didn’t understand how it had ended up embedded into a scepter and then that mysterious key he acquired from it.

Nevertheless, now he at least understands whatever it was; it has to be a terrifying secret, and the scroll Freya was talking about might be able to shed some more light on the matter.

“So, where is the scroll?” Eve asked with shining eyes as she heard about Ace’s thievery in the Demon Temple and felt very excited about all this. She felt as if she was on a treasure hunt.

Freya couldn’t help but chuckle, “That’s the thing actually, the scroll was stolen by a hateful thief that Jessie encountered in the Lands of Kingdom, and I think we ought to know who that hateful thief has been. Right, Leader?”
