"When Emperor Yuan and the others fought their way back into the Land of the Ultimate, we no longer knew what happened."
"Only this mass of Emperor Fire drifted out from within the Dam and left by way of the Reception Ancient Road."
"Because of their battle, the Dark Matter storm grew too violent for us to stay there long. We followed the Emperor Fire back."
Butcher finished recounting everything they had experienced. Then he looked at the Emperor Fire, hesitating as though he wanted to say more.
Shi Hao shook his head. "This Emperor Fire isn't Emperor Yuan's. It was already following him when he went to the Land of the Ultimate."
"Can you open the Reception Ancient Road again?" Shi Hao asked.
"I can't." Butcher shook his head. "We only managed to return along the Reception Ancient Road because of the Emperor Fire's power."
"And even if we reached the far side of the Boundary Sea now, it would do no good. The Dark Matter storm never stops, and no one below the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm can cross it."
Shi Hao fell silent. He had felt Butcher's strength. A faint Quasi-Immortal Emperor Imperial Light had even appeared over his skin—a measure of how powerful he was.
He was incomparably close to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Yet even someone like him could not cross a storm formed from the gathering of dark laws.
Shi Hao knew his own limits. If a powerhouse like Butcher could not withstand that storm, he certainly could not either.
So I really can't cross the sea and reach the shore until I enter the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Domain...
"Thank you for bringing me this information," Shi Hao said to Butcher. Then he left with the Emperor Fire.
A long period of secluded cultivation awaited him.
