Chapter 5301


    He shook his head slightly and said, “I have no idea.” “No idea?” The middle-aged man was also


    surprised and asked, “I overheard your conversation in the shadows. You were obviously here before.


    How can you not know whose tomb this is?”


    James replied, “Please enlighten me.”


    The middle-aged man nced at the two of them and smiled, saying, “Don’t be so nervous. I mean no


    harm.”


    Despite that being sad, James remained cautious. The middle-aged man looked at the tomb ahead and


    continued,” This is the tomb of the ciem Race’s Lord.”


    James was aware of the ciem Race. He had encountered references to them in the Dark Secrets.


    However, he had no clear understanding of what the ciem Race actually was.


    The middle-aged man continued, ‘The ciem Race possessed a treasure called the Ulus. This


    treasure instilled fear in the Four Ancient Races of the Dark World, and they united to annihte the


    ciem Race. However, they failed to obtain the Ulus, and it disappeared along with the extinction of


    the ciem Race. Over the centuries, countless beings have sought the Ulus, but all in vain.”


    “Who are you, and how do you know so much?” James asked.


    The middle-aged manughed and replied, “Ie from one of the Primeval Races, but I’m not one of


    the Four Ancient Races from the Dark World. I belong to the Taeyton Race. You can call me Latrusse.”


    “Are you here for the Ulus?” James asked.


    Latrusse shook his head and exined, “While the Ulus was regarded as a magical treasure, it was


    believed that obtaining it equated to gaining immortality. However, the Taeyton Race inherently


    possessed formidable physical bodies, so the benefits of the Ulus to me were limited. I came here in


    search of another treasure of the ciem Race.”


    James became intrigued. “Oh? What treasure is that?”


    Latrusse exined, ‘The ciem Race was renowned as one of the most formidable races within the


    Primeval


    Races, and they possessed three treasures. The Ulus, the Ice Spirit, and the Ice Sword. I’m here for


    the Ice Sword.”


    He did not conceal his intentions because hecked expertise in deciphering the ciem Race’s


    primitive inscriptions. To acquire the Ice Sword, he required the assistance of the two humans from the


    Central ne of the outside world.


    James had heard of the Ulus but had nevere across any rumors about the Ice Spirit or the Ice


    Sword. The same was true for Lemuel. In the Central ne, only rumors of the Ulus circted, with no


    mention of the Ice Spirit or the Ice Sword.


    Seeing the two with puzzled expressions, Latrusse exined, ‘To be honest, considering my strength, I


    don’t particrly need this Ice Sword. It’s just that I have some unresolved conflicts with one of the


    Primeval Races, the mma Race’s Grand Patriarch. I intend to infiltrate the mma Race, but they


    are quite enigmatic, with their possession of Primitive Fire. Only by wielding the Ice Sword can I resist


    the effects of Primitive Fire.”


    Lemuel asked, “What is the Ice Spirit?”


    When the Ice Spirit was mentioned, Latrusse’s demeanor turned solemn. After pondering for a while,


    he finally said, ” No one knows what the Ice Spirit is. There are rumors that it’s a spirit left behind by a


    powerhouse of the ciem Race. However, aside from the ciem Race, no other living beings


    possess knowledge of its true nature.”


    Looking at the two, he asked, “Why have youe here?”


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    James did not hide anything and replied, “We’re here for the Ulus.”


    “How about a partnership?” Latrusse wore a slight smile as he said, “Let’s join forces to break into the


    ciem Race Lord’s tomb. When the timees, you can have the Ulus, and I can have the Ice


    Sword.”


    “Agreed,” James replied without hesitation.


    Additionally, he needed to visit those Primeval Races, but he was unfamiliar with the Dark World. He


    viewed this as an opportunity to gain insight into the so-called Dark World or have Latrusse guide them


    to the Primeval Races there.


    Lemuel transmitted a secret message, “James, you need to think this through carefully. He’s at the


    middle stage of the Holy Celestial Rank and incredibly powerful. We still don’t know what martial arts


    skills he might possess. If he bes aware of any treasures and his intentions take a sinister turn,


    even with my proficiency in the Feimsurge Art, I might not be a match for him. I can ensure my own


    safety, but rescuing you could be a different story.”


    James responded through their mental connection, “Special circumstances call for special measures.


    Besides, as you mentioned, he’s exceptionally powerful. If he wanted to harm us, he could have done


    so already, rather than waiting until now.”
