Dual Sword God

Chapter 257 The Legend of Avonz, He Wuhan?

A long time ago... in the distant age of the True Yuan Continent, an era that appeared after the Ancient Dragon Clan had left the world. There were a series of powers that strived for dominance, each being a mixture of extremely ancient Supreme Bloodline and War Saint Heritage powers. Some of them were from nonhuman forces, comprising of beastkind and others. Out of all these forces, only four among them stood at the very apex of all others.

They were the Supreme Blood Alliance, War Saint Union, Ethereal Sword Kingdom, Hundred Beast Clans, and the Avonz Kingdom. The warriors of these forces were uncommonly mighty, each being countless times stronger than the most common of prodigies.

Although mighty beings led them, eventually, there came a winner to their struggles. A powerful swordsman that was later crowned as the Emperor of Man, regarded as the world's most powerful expert.

Tydol's rule had continued for many years, reigning supreme across the entire True Yuan World. Yet, while he governed, there was one power which he didn't dare to directly offend, keeping them at bay in the southern sector. It was the force ruled by the second mightiest of all others, the Empress of Elements, and the Autarch of the ancient Avonz Kingdom.

Legend has it that the Avonz Kingdom was a kingdom of elements; it was a place where all practitioners could harness the source of all the core five major elemental powers with ease.

Because of this, those who were born there were capable of naturally controlling either one or two elementals at birth. Their ways of practice were usually different, far from what would be considered as the standard way in current times, as they would only need to comprehend the elements of the universe and advance as one with nature.

It's said that the core power that guided these prodigies of the Avonz Kingdom was a family that could control four of the five elements, while their Autarch was even more astounding, being born with the natural affinity of all five powers.

Her powers were so great that she could cause the momentary fusion of the five elements, allowing for a new, extremely dominating power to sprung into existence. Hence, the very reason why she was never provoked by anyone in the age of Tydol's rule.

Rumor has it that it, the secrets to their races elemental control and as well as ancient artifacts are hidden somewhere with the now desolate Southern Wastelands. Many believe that it's hidden at the depths of what now lays as a ruin. One which had never appeared to the world since its formation. A remnant vestige of the once prosperous and peerless figure's kingdom from ancient times - the Avonz Ruins.

As Feng Yu heard the story, told by Heise Linghun, he couldn't help but grow even more interested as he pondered, "Hmm, interesting... I didn't have the time to ask father about these details. But to think that the south had such rich history, Tydol... someone capable of if not matching, having power close to his would certainly be enough to warrant a major commotion, not to mention the strange legacy. There's also that Supreme Blood Alliance and War Saint Union; it would seem that our clan dates back to far longer than I'd imagine. I'll need to speak to my father about these details."

Heise Linghun, who had finished his story, couldn't help but look at Feng Yu as he smirked and replied, "So, what do you think, Fellow Practitioner Yu Feng? Are you interested in venturing with us to the Avonz Ruin's sight?"

"....." Tan Zan, who was seated on her mat with her blade on her legs, looked on silently as her eyes showed a curious look.

Feng Yu, having been roused from his thoughts, nodded as he replied, "Why not? I honestly didn't think such a mystical figure had existed other than Tydol. Also, like many others, I am currently on a training journey, venturing to such a place is more than definitely a worthwhile trip. Still, as you've said this place hasn't been opened since old times, what makes you think that it will be among the batch opened during the current Ruin Openings?"
