353: Chapter 353 The Purification Faction Leader Awakens

One of the young military officers from the Wa Country immediately stepped forward.

Pointing at Hoshino Mio's group, he cursed angrily, "You—you're committing treason! When has our Wa Country ever treated you poorly, yet you're running off with the Dragon Country like this?"

"Treason?"

Hanatsuki sneered, "I just want to ask, when did I ever say we were loyal to the Wa Country? The Wa Country is indeed very good, but we deserve better, understand?"

These words were spoken without any mercy.

The Wa Country Commander trembled with rage, but he found himself unable to refute her.

It was true; others hadn't signed a life-long contract with the Wa Country, so why should they serve it?

The movement of spirit beasts between different countries was a perfectly normal occurrence!

Furthermore, the Dragon Country had the Seven Dragon Generals stationed here.

With such a lineup, who would dare to offend them?

"Alright, alright, Chen Yi, let's not mention that for now. Quickly, come tell me, what exactly is inside this Antarctica Mystic Realm?"

Commander patted Chen Yi's shoulder like a brother and invited everyone into the tea room within the base.

The pleasantries lasted for a full half-hour, and more and more people gathered.

Representatives from various countries, Commanders, researchers—everyone looked at Chen Yi with expectant eyes.

They all wanted to know what Chen Yi had discovered in the depths of the Mystic Realm.

Chen Yi knew it was time.

He cleared his throat, and his voice spread throughout the entire base via spiritual power:

"Everyone, I know you have many questions!"

"About the Mystic Realm, about the Space-Time Rift, about the truth of this world—I basically know it all!"

"Three days from now, I will hold a press conference in the Dragon Country's Magic Capital to announce everything."

"However, before that, I need some time to organize the information. Please be patient!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a heated discussion erupted among the crowd.

"He really found the truth!"

"Chen Yi is awesome! The Dragon Country is awesome!"

"Finally—there's finally hope!"

Meanwhile, the news of Chen Yi's return was spreading across the globe at an astonishing speed.

That night, the global internet completely exploded.

[Chen Yi Survives! Major Breakthrough in Antarctica Mystic Realm Exploration!]

[Dragon Country Prodigy Chen Yi Confirmed Alive, Will Reveal the Truth of the World in Three Days!]

[Gu Fan Confirmed Killed in Action, Chen Yi Becomes the Sole Hope of the Younger Generation!]

[Luo Family's Second-in-Command Maternal Great Uncle Arrested on the Spot, Suspected Demon Abyss Cult Mole!]

[---]

News reports slammed into the world one after another.

The top ten spots on the trending lists of major social media platforms were all occupied by topics related to Chen Yi.

"My god! Chen Yi really came out alive!"

"He even brought back the truth of the world? This is too badass!"

"Wait, Gu Fan died? That was an SSS-rank Prodigy!"

"Exactly how strong is Chen Yi now? I heard he suppressed a Rank Nine Beast Tamer with just a single glance?"

"Is the source above reliable? A Rank Nine Beast Tamer suppressed by a glance?"

"Absolutely true! My uncle is at the Antarctica base; he saw it with his own eyes!"

---

Netizens discussed animatedly, their emotions a mix of shock, excitement, and anticipation.

And within the global Beast Tamer circles, it set off even greater waves.

"Chen Yi, he actually did it."

"All the prodigies have fallen, only he made it to the end!"

"From today on, the number one of the younger generation is undoubtedly him."

"Not just the younger generation? I heard the eleven spirit beasts by his side have all broken through to Rank Nine! With such a lineup, even the older generation powerhouses would have to keep their distance!"

"Rank Nine? Are you joking! Weren't they only around Rank Five when they went in?"

"That's the terrifying thing about Chen Yi; by his side, the impossible becomes possible!"

"I'm only looking forward to the press conference in three days—what exactly is the truth of the world?"

---

Similar discussions were playing out all over the world.

At this time, deep within the Demon Abyss Cult, in the Purification Sanctuary.

This was a pure white hall!

The walls, the floor, the pillars—everything was a holy white!

It was completely different from the overall gloomy and dark style of the Demon Abyss Cult, as if it were independent in another world.

In the center of the sanctuary sat a crystal coffin.

Lying inside the coffin was a woman.

She had silvery-white long hair, skin as fair as snow, and features as exquisite as if carved by a deity's own hand.

Even while sleeping with her eyes closed, she radiated a breathtaking beauty.

Suddenly, her eyelashes fluttered.

A second later, her crimson eyes slowly opened.

They were as pure as rubies, yet bottomless, as if they could see through all the vanities of the world!

The woman sat up from the crystal coffin.

Almost simultaneously, the sanctuary doors opened, and two maids dressed in plain clothes walked in quickly, kneeling on the ground: "Lord Emilia, you have finally awakened!!"

Having just woken up, her eyes were still a bit dazed, and she just stared blankly at the void in front of her.

It wasn't until a long while later that she finally spoke: "What year is it now?"

"In reply to my Lord! This year is 2026 AD!"

"2026?"

Emilia raised an eyebrow, showing a speechless expression, "This sleep of mine—I actually slept for a hundred years?"

"Yes, Lord Emilia!"

"Fine, sigh!"

Emilia scratched her head, "I'm hungry. Help me find some beautiful spirit beasts! Also, tell me what has happened over the past hundred years, and if that fellow Liuli has made any big moves..."

The maids were already used to this Lord's personality and respectfully replied: "Yes!!"

Soon, two unconscious young girls were brought in.

If Chen Yi were here, he would definitely recognize their identities—they were the Contracted Spirit Beasts of the Eagle Country's prodigy David: Shadow Dragon and Heaven-Devouring Demonic Tiger!

They had been captured by the Demon Abyss Cult while collecting dark-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures in the Mystic Realm.

The Sect had pried the information about Chen Yi killing David from their mouths, as well as the information that Chen Yi needed dark-element spiritual treasures.

Subsequently, the Sect used the Queen's power to create mirror images of the two to confuse others, while imprisoning their true bodies here for use in future research.

SSS-rank Bloodline spirit beasts all contained ancient power, which was very helpful for the Demon Abyss Cult's research.

And now, they had become Emilia's first meal after awakening.

"Shadow Dragon bloodline and Heaven-Devouring Tiger bloodline?"

Emilia's eyes lit up, "Although they don't particularly fit my aesthetic, their bloodline quality is good."

With a wave of her hand, the Shadow Dragon Girl was snatched over by an invisible force.

Emilia bared her fangs and gently bit into the Shadow Dragon Girl's neck, beginning to suck her blood.

"Ugh—"

The Shadow Dragon Girl groaned softly and then completely lost consciousness.

Miraculously, there were no changes on the surface of her body, but the aura on her was rapidly declining.

Rank Seven, Rank Six, Rank Five—in less than ten minutes, it dropped to Rank One, Stage One, the weakest level!

Emilia let go with satisfaction and handed the weakened Shadow Dragon Girl to the maids: "Take good care of her, don't let her die! SSS-rank Bloodline spirit beasts are rare resources; once she's recovered, she can be used again next time."

"Yes!!!"

The maids hurriedly replied.
