Chapter 2234: Fighting an Eternal

"What the hell is going on?! What did you do to us?!" The commander shouted at Yuan for answers, thinking he was responsible for the situation.

Yuan calmly replied, "I didn’t do anything. Hell, I was even nice enough to give you a warning. Unfortunately, you didn’t heed it, and as a result, you’ll die."

In mere seconds, all of the soldiers perished under the pressure.

"AHHHH!" The commander—stronger than the rest—managed to endure the crushing pressure for a few moments longer before unleashing a final, agonized scream. Moments later, his body erupted violently, and his soul was instantly annihilated, leaving him no chance to escape.

Though the soldiers of Heaven’s Mandate had been annihilated, Yuan couldn’t afford to relax, as the true threat was rapidly approaching.

Moments later, a massive, ethereal figure materialized before Yuan. It had no physical form, its ghostly body wavered like mist, yet it radiated an overwhelming aura of malice that seemed to corrode the very space around it.

Of course, it was no ordinary aura, as it was formed from Eternal Essence, and the sheer concentration of it far surpassed anything Yuan had attained thus far.

"Did you really have to kill them? Aren’t they on your side?" Yuan asked.

"What nonsense are you uttering?" The Eternal responded in a coarse voice.

Yuan raised an eyebrow at the unexpected response.

"The Celestial Emperor didn’t send you here?"

"The Celestial Emperor...?" The Eternal repeated in a puzzled voice. "Have you already forgotten about this Mighty Saaruk? Even though you were acting so boldly not too long ago?"

"You’re Saaruk?!" Yuan exclaimed after realizing the Eternal’s identity.

"I didn’t think you’d come after me so soon. Are you really that impatient?"

"Hahaha! Are you trembling in fear? Do you regret opposing this Mighty Saaruk?!"

After a moment of silence, Yuan responded, "To be honest, I was expecting more from an Eternal ranked in the top 20."

"Hmph!" Saaruk sneered. "Because we’re still within the Absolute Power’s influence, I can appear only in this ethereal form, and while in this form, I can wield barely ten percent of my true strength."

Saaruk had originally planned to wait until Yuan left the Absolute Power’s domain before making good on his threat, but impatience won out, so he arrived ahead of time at the cost of this inconvenience.

"Even though I am only wielding 10 percent of my true prowess, it’s more than enough to handle an ant like you," Saaruk mocked.

"We’ll see about that," Yuan replied.

"There’s nothing to see when you can’t even break out of such a simple restraint."

Saaruk pointed at Yuan, who still had his movements restricted by an invisible force.

"You mean this little trick?"

Yuan’s body suddenly erupted with Eternal Essence, and within moments, he shattered the restraints binding him.
