Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

"Thump!"

Darius's body fell, his eyes wide open in death.

He didn't understand why Hiroland would kill him so ruthlessly after they had just survived a close call.

In contrast, Hiroland casually wiped the blood off the dagger in her hand.

This dagger was a divine artifact; it utterly destroyed Darius's core with a single strike.

The sudden change startled Xiao Weiqing, and the Sovereign Blade suddenly appeared in his hand, pointing at Hirolan.

"reason."

Hiroland glanced at the corpse on the ground, put away the dagger, and was completely unprepared for Xiao Weiqing.

"Darrieux was sent by Aarons to spy on us."

Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. He noticed the change in Hiroland's tone and her way of addressing Celestial Venerable Aarons.

"So you killed him?"

Xiao Weiqing asked.

Since it concerns the entire Crimson Moon Galaxy, it's reasonable for Celestial Venerable Aarons to send Darius to monitor them. Rather than monitoring, he's more like an overseer. Xiao Weiqing doesn't think it's a problem. At least, using this as a reason to kill Darius is unacceptable.

"Isn't that enough?"

Hiroland chuckled lightly, her smile somewhat cold and devoid of warmth.

"not enough."

Xiao Weiqing said in a deep voice, his aura rising steadily.

He realized he had been mistaken about Hiroland. This woman was hiding her true strength, which was not as simple as she appeared. The moment he made his move, Xiao Weiqing keenly sensed that Hiroland had also condensed a Law Soul.

Seemingly sensing that Xiao Weiqing was about to make a move, Xiluolan'er frowned slightly, then relaxed and slowly said:

"Xiao Weiqing, what do you think is our purpose in entering the Crimson Moon Palace?"

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Hiroland would ask such a question at this point.

"The literal meaning."

"Why did Aarons send you here?"

Xiao Weiqing was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "The space around the Crimson Moon Old Star has become extremely unstable due to the influence of a spatial artifact. We need to find that spatial artifact."

Do you believe it?

Hilolan chuckled softly.

"Isn't that right?"

Hiloran's expression turned somewhat amused, and she added, "You're referring to the Arens civilization's narrative to the outside world; this isn't a secret among us."

"But I don't think Aarons would say that to you," Hiloran said with great certainty.

Xiao Weiqing remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Xiao Weiqing, do you know that you and Wei Lan are in great danger right now?" Hiroland asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Aarons".

Do you think I'd believe you?

Xiao Weiqing stared intently at Xiluolan'er, trying to discern something from her expression.

Hiroland said calmly, "Would you like to hear another version of the story about the Crimson Moon Civilization's rebellion?"

"Another version?"

Xiao Weiqing was surprised, because he had heard a version of the story from Venerable Aarons before.

During my conversation with Darius, I heard another version, which was basically the same, except for the difference between divine magic and spatial artifacts.

Surprisingly, there are other versions as well.

Tell me about it.

A strange emotion flashed in Hiroland's eyes as she slowly said:

"Back then, the King of the Crimson Moon Kingdom was ordered by Aarons to do something."

"What is it?"

"I don't know." Hiroland shook her head slightly. "I only know that the King of Crimson Moon brought back something."

"What is it?"

"I don't know."

Hilolan shook her head again.

Xiao Weiqing stared intently. This Xiluolan'er knew nothing, so what was the point of saying all this?

"But I know that thing is inside this hall."

"In this main hall?"

"Um."

"Go on."

"Back then, the ruler of the Crimson Moon Kingdom brought back that item, and Aarons came to Crimson Moon Star to demand it back."

"and then?"

Xiao Weiqing asked.

"Then, the two engaged in battle, the Crimson Moon Kingdom's ruler fell, the entire Jia Yue Lie clan was implicated, many inhabited planets in the Crimson Moon Star System were destroyed, and countless people were killed or injured."

"This has led to the current situation."

"etc."

Xiao Weiqing interrupted.

"The two have engaged in battle. The Crimson Moon Kingdom Lord is only at the Second Immortal Realm, right? Could he be a match for a Celestial Venerable?"

"However, the Crimson Moon Kingdom Lord was not an Immortal Second Realm expert, but an Immortal Third Realm expert who had comprehended the laws of space. He possessed a top-tier spatial artifact. Although the Crimson Moon Kingdom Lord was killed, he did two things before his fall."

"What is it?"

Hiroland said, "The first thing is to send out a message."

"A message?"

Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan both showed surprise. The ruler of a third-level civilization did two things before his fall, one of which was just to send out a message.

"Um."

"It was because of this news that dozens of life-bearing planets in the Crimson Moon Star System were destroyed, with none surviving. Those planets, like the old Crimson Moon Star, became dead planets, leaving only those lifeless Lu Puppets."

"That's hundreds of billions of intelligent life forms."

Sadness appeared in Hiroland's eyes.

"this..."

Wei Lan covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous.

Xiao Weiqing's pupils also contracted, revealing a look of shock, as he tried to determine the truthfulness of Xiluolan'er's words.

"What exactly is the news?"

Hiroland looked at Xiao Weiqing and Wei Lan, and slowly said:

"Aarons colluded with the machine race and betrayed the human race."

"impossible!"

Xiao Weiqing blurted out, "A Celestial Venerable actually betrayed the human race and colluded with the mechanical race?"

If it were said that the Celestial Venerable had dealings with alien races, Xiao Weiqing would find it somewhat believable.

After all, the universe is vast. Although humans, demons, and machines are mortal enemies, there are still powerful individuals who have private dealings with other races, and this is not uncommon. This is something that cannot be completely eliminated.

You don't believe me?

Do you think I should believe it?

Xiao Weiqing countered with a question.

Hiloran sighed, "Yes, it's hard to believe, but what if the machine race offers conditions that Aaron can't refuse?"

"What is it?"

"This brings us to the second thing the King of Crimson Moon did."

"He sealed this great hall with a spatial artifact. No one from the Jiayue clan who has not awakened the Crimson Eye Divine Body can enter. Forcing entry will only shatter this space for a moment, and everything will be sucked into the spatial rift."

Xiao Weiqing asked, "What exactly is inside this main hall?"

"As I said, no one knows except probably the Crimson Moon Kingdom's ruler and Aarons."

"How is it?"

"Would you like to come inside with me and take a look? The item is inside the main hall."

Hiroland invited, awaiting Xiao Weiqing's reply.

Xiao Weiqing remained silent, his mind racing, as things suddenly became complicated.
