After all, with the Millennial Cataclysm approaching, the Archdemon's strength would be a tremendous asset.
Seeing the concern in Owen's eyes, the Archdemon was deeply moved and spoke softly:
"Owen, don't worry. My sister ventured into the Demon Abyss for a reason—she found clues to the Fate Crystal…"
Before she could finish speaking, the space around them suddenly trembled, and the Jade Dragon's furious roar echoed faintly through the depths of the abyss, as if reverberating across time and space.
The Jade Dragon—was breaking free!
Chapter261-The Ancient Corpse in the Majestic Mountains
Deep within the Demon Abyss.
Owen led the Archdemon along the path of flowing molten magma, breaking through the fiery waves as they descended deeper into the earth's core.
More importantly, the way her sister clung to Owen and spoke to him sparked a pang of jealousy within Elysia.
Her sister, proud beyond compare, was behaving as if she was utterly devoted to Owen!
“Forget that for now. What happened to you here? Your injuries are severe. If they’re not treated quickly, they could damage your foundation.”
Owen coughed lightly, steering the conversation away. From Elysia, he felt a mounting hostility, as if she believed he had stolen someone dear to her.
Hearing Owen’s words, the demoness’s expression turned serious again as she examined her sister’s wounds.
“With your current Demon King-level strength, who could have hurt you this badly?”
Elysia took a deep breath, looking toward the mountain’s end, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
“Raymond. It was that damnable Raymond!”
“I had already found the Fate Crystal that could extend your lifespan, but the area was occupied by Raymond. I couldn’t defeat him. If it weren’t for the strange nature of this mountain range, I would have never seen you again.”
Mentioning Raymond made Elysia bristle like an enraged tiger, her entire body trembling with fury.
“Raymond?! That name sounds familiar.”
Owen murmured, and then as if struck by realization, his eyes widened as he asked:
“The Raymond you’re talking about—is he the Founding King of Kyrik?”
Elysia nodded, gritting her teeth. “Who else but that beast who claims to be the greatest emperor in history?”
Upon hearing this, a wave of intense killing intent surged from Owen.
What a small world it was—he had run into another old enemy here.
