Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 739 - 545 Eternal Scar’s Suspicions_2
Was the very name of eternity merely an exaggeration by countless people, or was there some unknown secret that I was not yet privy to?
But that's not important.
Having come this far, of course, I was going to take a look inside.
Perhaps after this battle, humanity's understanding of high-dimensional space could finally come close to the truth!
If it was merely those Eternal Fiend Great Demons that Bai E had once encountered... then bring it on!
Let's see if you can overcome the sword in my hand!
Or is it my sword that shall sever each of your heads!
The simple spiritual body of a human holding a longsword was the first to step into the heart of this garden after who knows how long, drawing the immediate attention of the cauldron boiling with some concoction and a host of newly-minted Eternal Fiends that looked as if someone had ignited them like torches.
In those numerous gazes, a shared expression of confusion arose—"If it isn't our buddy, who is it?"
The eternal fiends, inherently sluggish and slow to react, were equally slow to recognize change; their lives were so prolonged that they lacked sufficient sensitivity to any changes occurring at any moment.
Only the defiled one, Sogros, who had met Bai E once, sensed a dangerous aura in this person before him, "It's you!"
"My lord..." The moment they saw Bai E, a touch of final fulfillment appeared in those tired eyes, ravaged by rotting flesh.
The soul that had held on to the end was already shattered, and as the sole obsession was fulfilled, the last thread of attachment for these fragmented soul pieces finally had nowhere to reside.

Those soul fragments, like wisps of smoke, drifted towards the heavens from where Fernandi, barely retaining a human form, stood.
Within each fragment of that last soul were scenes from Fernandi's past memories, like shards of a broken mirror.
But these memories were ephemeral, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Where could memories reside once the soul had completely dissipated?
'My lord, do your best.' The barely audible voice was the final echo of the boy, who, once saved by Bai E from despair, had completed the redemption of his life with immense willpower.
Bai E watched the shattered soul fragments slowly ascend and gradually disappear completely, like ice cubes melting in the sunlight.
The boy who had burned his entire soul would now completely erase his existence from this world, leaving behind only faint past impressions in the memories of others...
'Goodbye...' Bai E thought silently to himself and remained wordless.
"Who's that?"
"Who is he?"
"Did you invite him?"
Sogros squinted his eyes, his face filled with a dangerous expression, "That human who shot an arrow at me."
When Sogros returned, he had talked to his brothers about everything he had encountered upon his "descent," especially giving much emphasis to the last human who had shot him with an arrow.
Of course, no brother blamed him for not daring to catch that arrow, just as a gentle father never scolded them for idling away in this garden.
The dead are gone, but the living remain.
As long as the girl who was brought to this high-dimensional space by Sogros as a complete human had not yet been utterly corrupted, there was always a chance to save her.
Bai E's gaze brushed past the rotund form of the defiler and scanned the surroundings, asking softly, "Where is Glatis?"
"Glatis?" Sogros paused for a moment, "Who's that?"
"The human girl you brought back."
"Oh..." Sogros moved his large, green body aside, revealing the roiling pot behind him, "She's in the pot."
"..." Bai E's face immediately darkened, his spiritual energy surging past its normal activity, showing signs of going berserk, "Then... where is Eternity?"
"How dare you!" the great demons, who had been watching Bai E with glee, seemingly oblivious to the gravity of the situation, finally displayed their wrath.
"You dare to address the Compassionate Father by name?!"
"You are not welcome here! Please leave!"
"Leave? What leave! I'm going to turn him into the most abject chaos egg!"
The enrages auras of the great demons rippled within this high-dimensional space with solid domains, and the vast commotion in the Eternal Garden, one of the four pillars of the high-dimensional space, could be transmitted far and wide throughout this dark dimension.
For a moment, all the unaware demons shuddered, not knowing who had incurred the wrath of this terrifying group of great demons with the power of life and death.
Bai E paid no attention to the bluster of these "naive-looking" great demons, only confirming in his heart the guess he had just made—
Eternity was indeed not here... or perhaps, Eternity never existed at all?
Thus, with a cold and fierce smile at the corner of his mouth, he raised his longsword straight towards the cauldron behind Sogros, "I'm going to smash this cauldron and burn this land. You can try to stop me, provided... you can do it."
As his voice fell, Bai E took a swift stride forward.
With the sound of wind and thunder behind him, Bai E stepped as if traversing space itself, instantly arriving in front of a great demon wielding a dung fork.
"Swoosh!"
Under the full force of the instant-kill of a hundred heads, the unnamed great demon's arm was instantly torn into endless pieces of flesh.
Harnessing the information gathered from the ordinary attacks launched against the Plague Lords, Bai E would not allow himself to carry out ineffective offenses against these true enemies.
The cleanly cut surfaces could easily be repaired by the actively proliferating flesh and blood, but a wound simultaneously torn by nine sword winds clearly could not be rapidly mended.
The shredded flesh fell to the ground and disintegrated, like a clump of homogenous nutrient, easily transforming into nourishment for the soil of the garden beneath their feet.
The aura of this injured great demon noticeably weakened for a moment.
Among great demons, there are disparities.
The high-dimensional space is inherently a subjective dimension that reveals essence, and the strength or weakness of each great demon present could even be directly observed by the sensory perceptions of spiritual awareness.
Aside from Sogros, the Unclean one with whom he had a prior encounter, the other great demons were not remarkably strong.
The weakest among them was not much stronger than the Plague Lords he had just faced.
Yet these great demons were truly worthy of their name, for merely wounding one of them provided more nourishment than all of the wandering plagues and Plague Lords he had faced combined—
[The Soul-Devouring Demonic Blade has absorbed a small portion of the target's essence, special attack effect is upgrading 250/5000.]
[...780/5000.]
The influx of substantial "nutrition" was so great that Bai E almost heard a contented moan from within his longsword.
When outnumbered, the first rule should be to inflict real damage, and the great demon first targeted and wounded by Bai E was now defenseless like a person whittled down to a stick.
[The Soul-Devouring Demonic Blade has absorbed a small portion of the target's essence, special attack effect is upgrading 1500/5000.]
[...2200/5000.]
[...3000/5000.]
The essence of the great demon was the perfect offering for the Blade of the Lawful Heart, and the rate of improvement in such a short time was beyond anything imaginable before.
But the great demon, now looking like a whittled stick, seemed to finally come to its senses amidst this catastrophe and began to react.
All that remained of its essence, like a pool of water, merged into the soil of the garden in the blink of an eye; the aura of the great demon vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an indescribable and abstract concept-like cloud of vague aura...
