Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Awakening Memories?_1

Arriving near Clare Richardson, Ethan Smith saw white gas emerging from her body.

This cold white gas left nothing alive in its wake.

The surrounding trees were rapidly decaying, and the dark energy continued to spread outward.

Ethan Smith’s face changed slightly. If this energy were to spread through the entire Green Moon Villa, it would be a disaster!

So, Ethan Smith hurried forward, raising his hand and releasing a stream of Golden Light to block the spread of this energy.

The corrosive power of the energy was extremely strong, causing even Ethan Smith’s golden light to dim significantly.

“What a terrifying aura,” Ethan Smith frowned.

His body felt an uncomfortable sensation, as if it would be consumed by this aura.

Glancing around, the once lush trees now looked withered and dying.

“Boom!”

At that moment, an even more terrifying aura burst from Clare Richardson’s body.

The next second, an expanse of dark clouds blocked out the sun!

“Is she… about to break through?” Ethan Smith seemed to realize something.

It was obvious sign that Clare Richardson was about to break through to the Military Marquis Realm!

The pitch-black clouds in the sky were so dense they were even thicker than when Ethan Smith faced his heavenly tribulation!

Clare Richardson’s eyes remained closed, seemingly unfazed by the impending tribulation.

“Crack!”

A heavenly thunderbolt arrived!

The intensity of this heavenly thunder was even more frightening than when Ethan Smith went through his tribulation!

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but widen his eyes!

Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation made even Ethan Smith shudder!

“Crack!”

Another heavenly thunderbolt arrived, even more intense than before.

But Clare Richardson still sat unmoved, and the energy that had been expanding around her suddenly began to converge, tightly clinging to her body like armor!

“Crack!”

Heavenly thunder descended once again, striking fiercely upon that layer of white energy!

To everyone’s surprise, such a terrifying heavenly thunder could not shake the white energy at all!

“How terrifying…” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but murmur.

What exactly was this white energy to be so resilient?

Even the heavenly thunder seemed insignificant in front of it!

“Could it be the masked woman’s backup plan?” Ethan Smith pondered in his heart.

He was still unclear about the relationship between Clare Richardson and the masked woman.

However, he was almost certain that there must be some connection between them!

Looking up at the blue heavenly thunderbolts filling the sky, Ethan Smith’s expression became increasingly solemn.

Cultivating against the heavens meant that the higher one’s natural talents were, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation during breakthrough.

In addition, another factor affecting the intensity of heavenly thunder was the threat the person posed to the world or the opportunities they had encountered in their cultivation.

For example, if the person going through tribulation had killed many people, their heavenly tribulation would certainly be more terrifying.

Man with the mustache had mentioned that the masked woman had killed countless people in her life and was a real demon.

If Clare Richardson really was the masked woman, she had essentially used a special method to evade the ravages of time, breaking the rules of the Path of Heaven!

Her heavenly tribulation would naturally be even more terrifying!

Ethan Smith looked up at the still flickering dark clouds in the sky, his expression growing darker and darker.

Even Ethan Smith felt a chill at the thought of such a high level of heavenly thunder.

“Boom!”

Heavenly thunder continued, and the white energy around Clare Richardson grew even denser.

It was like an impenetrable layer of armor, firmly blocking the heavenly tribulation from coming through.

More than a dozen heavenly thunders descended, and Clare Richardson remained unharmed!

“This is terrifying…” Ethan Smith murmured.

If this white energy could be made into an armor, how powerful would it be?

At this moment, Clare Richardson slowly opened her eyes.

Her realm had indeed stepped into the Military Marquis Realm!

Ethan Smith hurried to her side and asked, “Clare, how are you feeling now?”

Clare Richardson replied, “I feel great.”

Her words were brief, and she seemed different from the playful Clare Richardson from before.

This couldn’t help but worry Ethan Smith.

Could it be that as Clare Richardson’s power increased, she would come closer to the masked woman?

“I can’t let that happen,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

He needed to find a time to investigate the masked woman’s information.

“I’m a bit tired. I’ll go back and rest first,” Clare Richardson said to Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith nodded, saying, “Alright.”

After Clare Richardson left, Ethan Smith approached the coffin.

To his surprise, the dark energy in the coffin was almost depleted.

“What…” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but stare.

He had once thought that the dark energy in the coffin was inexhaustible, but he did not expect Clare Richardson to completely absorb it in just one go…

“Clare Richardson’s future cultivation might be even more difficult than mine,” Ethan Smith lamented.

For the next few days.

Ethan Smith spent almost all day near the Spiritual Spring.

Every day, he tried to find a connection to the Mystic Realm.

Within three days, Ethan Smith could easily grasp the connection and quickly locate the Mystic Realm’s position.

“As long as I find a way to open the Mystic Realm, it will be mine,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

At this moment, Frederick Cohen approached from a distance.

“Ethan Smith, the man with the mustache is back,” Frederick Cohen said.

Ethan Smith nodded, saying, “Let’s go. Let’s take a look.”

The two headed inside the Great Hall, where the man with the mustache was sitting and drinking tea.

Ethan Smith quickly walked to him and asked, “How is it? Have you found all the materials?”

Man with the mustache spoke proudly, “For me, this was a small matter!”

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s get going,” Ethan Smith said.

Man with the mustache grumbled, “Why are you always in such a hurry? I just got back…”

“We’re short on time,” Ethan Smith helplessly shook his head.

He returned to his room and brought Clare Richardson to the Great Hall.

“Let’s go,” Ethan Smith said to Man with the mustache.

Man with the mustache looked at Clare Richardson, his brow furrowed.

“You… have broken through?” the man with the mustache tentatively asked.

Clare Richardson nodded and replied, “Yes, I just entered the Military Marquis Realm a few days ago.”

Man with the mustache’s face turned somewhat ugly, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Then, he pulled Ethan Smith to the side and led him outside the Great Hall.

“Are you going to the Immortal Slaying Sect for her?” Man with the mustache asked with a frown.

Ethan Smith nodded, “That’s right. There’s a tomb of the masked woman there. If she’s really the masked woman, maybe… ”

“…we can find some related memories,” Man with the mustache interrupted.

He coldly looked at Ethan Smith, saying, “If Clare Richardson really finds the masked woman’s memories, have you thought about what you’ll do?”

Ethan Smith furrowed his brows and scratched his head, “That’s impossible, right? Even if she’s related to the masked woman, they’re not the same person.”
