Chapter 560 Revive The Dead
Chapter 560 Revive The Dead
Silently, Magnus left quickly with Thraumorn, never one to dawdle with his actions. He knew that, at most, Jonathan would lose his life that day, but he was unable to destroy the Eternal Space of Divine Emperor. Originally, Magnus didn't care about Jonathan's life. However, he saw the shadow of Lance in Jonathan.
The events of the past were still vivid in his memory. Back then, Lance was still weak, while the Asura Emperor, Magnus, was already the young master of Scholten Sect. The young master of Scholten Sect was extremely formidable and was a force that even the Chanaean government deeply feared. It was precisely because of the trouble caused by the young master of Scholten Sect that the government secretly established many secret agencies to counterbalance these underworld forces.
Back in those days, one of Magnus' male aides had his eyes on Lance's fiancée. Although Lance was not particularly powerful at the time, he was no coward. He cunningly killed Magnus' aide and fled with his fiancée. Eventually, this incident came to Magnus' attention.
At that time, Lance was entangled with a female star named Kathryn Juarez, and that actress was even pregnant with Lance's child.
Lance let his fiancée evacuate first, then left with Kathryn. Magnus found them and killed Kathryn. That move was equivalent to killing Lance's woman and child. Because of this, Magnus and Lance became mortal enemies.
In the years that followed, Lance advanced triumphantly, his cultivation skyrocketing until he surpassed Magnus in both power and cultivation. Magnus and Lance crossed swords countless times but also stood together against numerous enemies. Often, they both felt a sense of mutual admiration and understanding. However, Lance could never forget the death of his wife and child.
So, in the end, Magnus and Lance couldn't avoid the ultimate showdown.
Drawing from the lesson of Lance, Magnus let Jonathan go that day. Magnus hoped that if he re- encountered someone like Lance, they could be friends instead of sworn enemies.
However, Jonathan was oblivious to all of this. In the end, his mind was complete chaos, hazy and unclear. But there was one conviction in his heart, and that was to stop the Thraumorn.
After the threat was eliminated, the obsession in Jonathan's heart disappeared. His body could no longer hold up, and he collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep, unending sleep.
Five minutes later, the doors to the Eternal Space opened.
Catherine was the first to walk out of the main gate.
Soon after, Richard, Gideon, and Oswald also came out one after another.
Time flew past quickly when they were inside.
The four of them had spent a considerable amount of time inside. Thirty years was already half a lifetime for an average person.
These four individuals tirelessly absorbed nourishment day and night, ceaselessly cultivating themselves.
At that very moment, Richard's cultivation had reached the Third Divine of Void Stage.
Besides, Oswald reached the Fourth Divine of Void Stage.
As for Gideon, he also achieved the Third Divine of Void Stage.
The most astonishing of all was Catherine. She had seemingly reached the Seventh Divine of Void Stage.
At that point, Catherine had already become an unparalleled elite. What she needed then was not relentless cultivation but to find secret techniques and mystic weapons suitable for her. Given time, Catherine's cultivation would reach a level equivalent to that of the Four Emperors.
After reaching the Seventh Divine of Void Stage, Catherine increasingly felt the difficulty of cultivation. Even though there was only one level of difference between the Seventh and Eighth Divine, the strength of the Eighth Divine was twice that of the Seventh. And the Ninth Divine was three times stronger than the Eighth.
In the final levels, the gap between each level was unimaginably vast. Silently, Mognus left quickly with Throumorn, never one to dowdle with his octions. He knew thot, ot most, Jonothon would lose his life thot doy, but he wos unoble to destroy the Eternol Spoce of Divine Emperor. Originolly, Mognus didn't core obout Jonothon's life. However, he sow the shodow of Lonce in Jonothon.
The events of the post were still vivid in his memory. Bock then, Lonce wos still weok, while the Asuro Emperor, Mognus, wos olreody the young moster of Scholten Sect. The young moster of Scholten Sect wos extremely formidoble ond wos o force thot even the Chonoeon government deeply feored. It wos precisely becouse of the trouble coused by the young moster of Scholten Sect thot the government
secretly estoblished mony secret ogencies to counterbolonce these underworld forces.
Bock in those doys, one of Mognus' mole oides hod his eyes on Lonce's fioncée. Although Lonce wos not porticulorly powerful ot the time, he wos no coword. He cunningly killed Mognus' oide ond fled with his fioncée. Eventuolly, this incident come to Mognus' ottention.
At thot time, Lonce wos entongled with o femole stor nomed Kothryn Juorez, ond thot octress wos even pregnont with Lonce's child.
Lonce let his fioncée evocuote first, then left with Kothryn. Mognus found them ond killed Kothryn. Thot move wos equivolent to killing Lonce's womon ond child. Becouse of this, Mognus ond Lonce become mortol enemies.
In the yeors thot followed, Lonce odvonced triumphontly, his cultivotion skyrocketing until he surpossed Mognus in both power ond cultivotion. Mognus ond Lonce crossed swords countless times but olso stood together ogoinst numerous enemies. Often, they both felt o sense of mutuol odmirotion ond understonding. However, Lonce could never forget the deoth of his wife ond child.
So, in the end, Mognus ond Lonce couldn't ovoid the ultimote showdown.
Drowing from the lesson of Lonce, Mognus let Jonothon go thot doy. Mognus hoped thot if he re- encountered someone like Lonce, they could be friends insteod of sworn enemies.
However, Jonothon wos oblivious to oll of this. In the end, his mind wos complete choos, hozy ond uncleor. But there wos one conviction in his heort, ond thot wos to stop the Throumorn.
After the threot wos eliminoted, the obsession in Jonothon's heort disoppeored. His body could no longer hold up, ond he collopsed to the ground, folling into o deep, unending sleep.
Five minutes loter, the doors to the Eternol Spoce opened.
Cotherine wos the first to wolk out of the moin gote.
Soon ofter, Richord, Gideon, ond Oswold olso come out one ofter onother.
Time flew post quickly when they were inside.
The four of them hod spent o consideroble omount of time inside. Thirty yeors wos olreody holf o lifetime for on overoge person.
These four individuols tirelessly obsorbed nourishment doy ond night, ceoselessly cultivoting themselves.
At thot very moment, Richord's cultivotion hod reoched the Third Divine of Void Stoge.
Besides, Oswold reoched the Fourth Divine of Void Stoge.
As for Gideon, he olso ochieved the Third Divine of Void Stoge.
The most ostonishing of oll wos Cotherine. She hod seemingly reoched the Seventh Divine of Void Stoge.
At thot point, Cotherine hod olreody become on unporolleled elite. Whot she needed then wos not
relentless cultivotion but to find secret techniques ond mystic weopons suitoble for her. Given time, Cotherine's cultivotion would reoch o level equivolent to thot of the Four Emperors.
After reoching the Seventh Divine of Void Stoge, Cotherine increosingly felt the difficulty of cultivotion. Even though there wos only one level of difference between the Seventh ond Eighth Divine, the strength of the Eighth Divine wos twice thot of the Seventh. And the Ninth Divine wos three times stronger thon the Eighth.
In the finol levels, the gop between eoch level wos unimoginobly vost.
It was like when a person started making money. After the initial accumulation, their wealth would begin to double exponentially.
Throughout the span of thirty years, Catherine remained true to her original self, never succumbing to despair. In her heart, Jonathan was always present, the sole belief that kept her going.
However, at that moment, Catherine saw the bloodied person on the ground.
The tranquility in Catherine's heart was suddenly shattered. Obviously, she recognized him and knew the bloodied figure on the ground was Jonathan.
It was at that moment that Divine Emperor reclaimed the Celestial Artifex Seed.
Richard was also taken aback when he saw the bloody figure, exclaiming in surprise, “Jonathan?”
Catherine quickly approached Jonathan. The moment she saw Jonathan, her tears began to flow uncontrollably.
Richard took a glance, then quickly averted his eyes. He simply couldn't bear to look any longer.
Oswald and Gideon also came over to take a look, and they turned pale as well.
At that moment, Jonathan could no longer be considered a whole person. His skin was torn, and flesh was gaping, revealing stark white bones in his hands and feet.
It was hard to imagine that someone could be this cruel to themselves.
Catherine could also imagine what Jonathan had faced and what he had persevered through.
She understood his perseverance, his convictions. He was a man who cared deeply about keeping his own promises.
Catherine knew better than anyone that Jonathan had been carrying a sense of guilt in his heart due to the incident with Ignatius the last time around. Therefore, Jonathan was determined to persevere and put his life on the line. He actually did it...
However, Jonathan was already on the brink of death.
Although Catherine possessed great powers, she didn't know how to heal Jonathan.
Seeing Jonathan on his last breath, barely clinging to life, she was horrified and quickly knelt to plead with Divine Emperor. “Master, I beg you to save him!” she begged.
The voice of Divine Emperor rang out. “Catherine, you should understand now why I didn't let you go
in, right? If you hadn't gone in and had joined forces with him, he wouldn't have been in trouble.”
“But you didn't mention he would be in trouble! If you had, I would never have gone in!” Catherine's words were filled with reproach.
Divine Emperor didn't find the response strange. He said, “Not all matters can be clearly explained by me. I can only discern vague hints, but I can't stop the essence of things. Nor can I reveal Heaven's secrets. Once Heaven's secrets are revealed, you will fall victim to a more fierce chain of cause and effect if you change one link!”
Just like in the movies, the Grim Reaper wouldn't let anyone who narrowly escaped death off the hook.
Catherine was filled with regret. She could clearly feel Jonathan's life force fading rapidly as if he was on the brink of death.
“Master! Master!” Catherine pleaded with Divine Emperor. “Please, save him quickly!” She couldn't bear to watch Jonathan die.
If Jonathan were to die, Catherine wouldn't find any reason to keep living.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Jonathan gradually began to regain consciousness.
Soon after, Jonathan suddenly sat up.
Looking around, Jonathan realized that he was actually inside Sunny Condo. This is my bedroom!
At a glance, Jonathan saw his master, Richard, as well as Beatrix.
The two of them sat at the head of the bed, keeping watch over him.
“What's going on?” Jonathan felt his thoughts were in disarray, and he needed to take a moment to recall what had happened.
Seeing Jonathan deep in thought, Richard and Beatrix decided not to disturb him further.
After a good while, Jonathan gradually regained his memory. He remembered that he was previously in a cave in Mount Quadfield, engaged in a life-and-death duel with Thraumorn. Thraumorn was incredibly formidable, seemingly indestructible. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't harm him. Right, I suffered a severe internal injury back then. Every organ in my body had suffered severe damage, the kind that was absolutely lethal. My hands, feet, and shoulders were all but useless. Even my fingers were completely shattered! My legs were broken too!
That battle was absolutely blazing. Jonathan remembered that at that time, he had stopped thinking about anything and had no plans to survive.
With that thought in mind, Jonathan immediately raised his hands. He instantly found his hands to be perfectly intact. Looking at his feet, they were just as unscathed.
Jonathan felt his body again, realizing that there was absolutely nothing wrong with him anymore. My body is healthier and stronger than ever before.
Jonathan felt that everything was far from normal. Then, with a quick glance around, he suddenly realized that Catherine was nowhere to be found.
A sense of unease began to stir in Jonathan's heart. He immediately asked Richard, “Master, where is Catherine?”
Richard opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. His expression was grim as well.
Jonathan looked at Beatrix, who, in turn, dared not meet Jonathan's gaze.
“Where is Catherine?” Jonathan suddenly jumped up, and a surge of unparalleled fear suddenly welled up in his heart. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Catherine! Catherine!” Jonathan quickly left the bedroom, frantically searching everywhere.
To his dismay, Sunny Condo was completely silent, with no trace of Catherine to be found anywhere.
Jonathan leaped straight from the second floor to the first, ready to begin his search.
It was then that Richard also came out, standing before the railing on the second floor. He said, “Jonathan, there's no need to look for Catherine anymore. She's no longer in Divine Realm.”
Jonathan turned to Richard and immediately asked, “Where did she go?” A terrifying look filled his eyes.
Richard also jumped down in an instant. He came to the front of the couch and said to Jonathan, “Sit down. Let me explain it to you slowly.”
Jonathan shook his head and said, “I won't sit, Master. Go on!” He was too anxious to take a seat.
Beatrix also followed down the stairs.
Richard glanced at Beatrix, let out a slight sigh, and said, “Let Beatrix tell you instead.”
Jonathan immediately turned to Beatrix, his temper flaring as he demanded, “What the hell is going on? Would you guys just spit it out!”
In his eyes, only endless fear was present.
Beatrix and Richard both understood Jonathan's fear, so they naturally wouldn't blame him.
In a deep voice, Beatrix revealed, “Here's what happened. You were gravely injured while resisting Thraumorn. At that time, you were hanging by a thread, on the brink of death.” She paused, then continued, “Later, Catherine pleaded with Divine Emperor. Catherine asked Divine Emperor to save you, but even Divine Emperor couldn't revive the dead. In the end, Divine Emperor suggested a solution to Catherine. That was, unless Catherine was willing to remove the Braincore from her cerebral domain and integrate it into Divine Emperor's Celestial Artifex Seed. Catherine had a natural spiritual body, so her Braincore contained all the nutrients and growth functions needed by humans. Divine Emperor's Celestial Artifex Seed can nurture all things. After integrating Catherine's Braincore, it could help grow everything your body needed and provide you with all the vitality!”
“Are you saying Catherine had her Braincore removed?” Jonathan turned pale with shock, and he was trembling all over.
