Long, thick and solid black chains extended into the boundless darkness.

They shackled the Seven Sins Fox Light King along it's four limbs and neck respectively. Black lightning-like energy flashed between the chains and it restrained its power.

After the spatial formation was peeled off, such a scene was laid bare before them. Chu Mu stared at that milky white fox, unable to fathom just how long it had been since it was imprisoned there.

Seven Sins Fox King ran towards that milky white fox and they intimately touched each other as if they were lovers who had been separated from each other for a long time.

“Cling clang~!”

The regular clashing of the chains sounded terrible. Seven Sins Fox Light King ran behind the milky white fox and it tried to use its claws and teeth desperately to shatter the dark chains.

However, no matter how powerful it was, the chains were so solid that not even a crack could be formed on it.

“Wuwuwu~!” cried the milky white fox, as if it was telling Light King not to waste its strength on itself anymore.

The dark chains were extremely hard. Techniques that were unleashed by Light King could not damage it at all. The Martial Cloud Dragon had also tried to tear the chains apart, but the chains still showed no signs of breaking.

“Young master, this sealed fox should have reached the high class Immortal rank,” At that moment, Old Li's voice suddenly came out.

“It’s a forgiven Light King?” Chu Mu was surprised.

Old Li shook his head, “It should have cultivated to this rank by itself.”

Forgiven Light King, that meant that the female Seven Sins Fox Light King before them was a creature that had reached peak Immortal or a higher rank!

While, high class Immortal rank creatures were near invincible existences in the domain of the living. At least, even in this Imprint Valley where powerful creatures were abundant, Chu Mu had never encountered a high class Immortal rank before.

“If it is a high class Immortal rank Light King and yet it was unable to break the chains, then it’s definitely impossible for us......” pondered Chu Mu.

“That’s true. And this seal is also not the core node of this Light Formation Valley. At the core node, regardless of the seal or the energy formation, there would definitely be an even stronger barrier and restriction present. It would be impossible for us to break in,” responded Old Li.

“Then, is there any method we can use to break the chains now?” asked Chu Mu.

If that female Light King could not escape, then Seven Sins Fox Light King would definitely not leave. These two Light Kings would end up perishing along with the Imprint Valley.

“None,” Old Li shook his head.

Dark chains were not really barriers. Mo Xie’s Seal Break would not work, Chu Mu was also helpless in front of it.

Seven Sins Fox Light King kept trying. After an unknown amount of time, it also became tired after exhausting its strength. In the end, it could only cry sorrowfully and return to the side of that milky white fox.

The two Light Kings leaned against each other and simply entwined their tails.

“Wuwuwu~!” The milky white fox kissed the Seven Sins Fox Light King’s eye as if trying to persuade it.

However, Seven Sins Fox Light King was very stubborn. It just laid there without budging an inch. It was unwilling to leave it no matter how much the milky white fox tried to persuade it.

“Young master, let’s go. Since this is their choice, then there’s no reason for us to force it,” said Old Li slowly.

If a living being chose its own death or had lost its meaning to live, it would be nothing but a living corpse even if they managed to save it.

Seven Sins Fox Light King’s power was currently being suppressed. However, they still had a rather long lifespan. They had lived in this Imprint Valley for countless years, and were separated from each other for countless years. When the fox race reached the end of their life, when their entire habitat reached the end, perishing along with this world was truly the best ending to them.

Chu Mu asked Light King one last time whether it was willing to leave along with him.

Seven Sins Fox Light King did not answer, but instead used its unshakable determination to tell Chu Mu that it would not leave this place.

“Wuwu~!” At that moment, the milky white fox suddenly cried softly, requesting Chu Mu to approach it.

Chu Mu approached the milky white fox in confusion, and he saw a tear droplet flowing out from the milky white fox’s eye.

After that tear fell down, it rapidly turned into a tear crystal. The crystal sparkled and it seemed to be hiding something within it.

“Wuwuwuwu~!” The milky white fox held out the tear crystal to Chu Mu, telling him to take it.

“Monument Tear?” Chu Mu was startled as he watched the milky white fox holding the Monument Tear.

“Young master, it is a Monument Tear Individual!” shouted Old Li in astonishment.

“Monument Tear Individual?” Chu Mu was even more confused now.

This female Seven Sins Fox Light King is actually a Monument Tear Individual?

“The Heaven Boundary Monument does not only choose humans. Some creatures with unique experiences can also be chosen by it,” said Princess Jin Rou.

Chu Mu remembered the ancient beast soul that had guided him to the Demonic Burial Mound. That was also a soul pet, but it was the previous generation of Monument Tear Individual. However, Chu Mu could still not understand why the female Seven Sins Fox Light King would be sealed away in this place if it was a Monument Tear Individual.

In a certain sense, that female Seven Sins Fox Light King should have been traveling in the normal world for a long time and it should have only entered Imprint Valley later on. It was then sealed here for some unknown reason.

He had many questions that he wanted answers to in his heart. However, since that milky white fox had given him its Monument Tear, then he would be able to experience its memories to a certain extent through this Monument Tear.

“Wuwuwu~!” The milky white fox cried towards Chu Mu, as if it was trying to tell him something.

“It said that the tear crystal also contained some energy, and you can use it,” explained Princess Jin Rou.

Chu Mu nodded, “Ask it for the reason why it was sealed here.”

Princess Jin Rou softly touched the female fox’s forehead to communicate with it mentally.

Princess Jin Rou’s expression gradually started changing, she seemed to have gotten angry.

“Wuwuwu~!” The milky white fox cried again to tell Chu Mu’s group to leave this place.

“Young master, let’s leave this place now. The area that will be the first to collapse is this place. If we don’t leave now, then we will really be in danger,” urged Old Li.

Right now, Chu Mu could already sense the peculiarity of the space outside. He took one last glance at the two Light Kings who refused to leave and sighed to himself. After jumping onto the Martial Cloud Dragon’s back, Princess Jin Rou followed behind him. However, he could tell that she was depressed and felt sympathy towards the two Seven Sins Fox Light Kings who could only wait for their deaths quietly.

The Martial Cloud Dragon flapped its wings and it flew towards the crack of the seal. Princess Jin Rou kept turning back to look at the two Light Kings that were grooming each other’s fur.

Any sense of nervousness or fear towards the collapse of the world could not be seen in their eyes......

“Chu Mu, if there is reincarnation, then do you think that they will be together again?” asked Princess Jin Rou softly.

“Probably. It would best if they don’t have to carry such a shackle in their next incarnation......” answered Chu Mu solemnly.

The higher the bloodline, the lesser the population. The two Seven Sins Fox Light Kings had finally met each other after they were alone for an unknown amount of time......

Perhaps, those two were the last two Light Kings in the world.

......

After they left the seal, Chu Mu was feeling depressed despite the burning sun shining above.

He was still holding on to that female Light King’s Monument Tear, and he carefully stored it in another vessel.

Chu Mu could look at the memory in the tear crystal right now if he wanted to, but it was definitely not the time for that. While they had entered that seal, chaotic cracks of various sizes were crawling all over the surroundings like centipedes!

This area was on the brink of collapse. The Martial Cloud Dragon flapped its wings and it rapidly flew away from this Light Formation Valley......

......

On a mountain summit, Qin Guang stood at the edge and overlooked this Imprint Valley world that was shining with a golden light.

A horrifying crack appeared in the sky. Those were signs that a world was collapsing. Bizarre spatial storms, ruthless spatial cracks, overwhelming pressure as if the sky was suddenly pressing down......

Qin Guang slowly raised his hand. A tiny sparkling droplet on top of his hand was unleashing a trace of warmth.

“It has finally appeared, it sure took us a long time!” Qin Guang raised the corner of his lips, his eyes beaming fervently!

“Follow me, let’s go and meet the creature that once possessed the highest rank bloodline!” declared Qin Guang after he took a glance at the Divine Sect experts behind him.

“Understood!”

A group of wing type creatures mainly possessing light property flew up, turning into a dazzling trail of light as it shot towards a certain direction!

......

At the edge of the Light Formation Valley, Zeng Long suddenly raised his hand and signalled everyone to stop.

“That way!” ordered Zeng Long to his subordinates after he pointed in a certain direction.

“Lord, aren’t we supposed to regroup with the Divine Sect faction?” asked Enforcer She.

“That’s right, they are also going that way,” Zeng Long grinned.

Fake Monument Tear Individual, Zeng Long could not remember how long it had been since he got involved in the fight for Monument Tears.

Many years ago, he was only an insignificant member of the Demon Beast Palace. However, the current position he held was close to a Gate Master. After having experienced the ecstasy of ruling over the lives of others, Zeng Long’s fervor towards collecting Monument Tears became even more maddened.

He would first sense the location of any Monument Tear Individual that appeared, then he would obtain the immense energy that was hidden within the Monument Tears from those pitiful people!

This time, if he could obtain yet another Monument Tear, then he would not be far off from becoming a Gate Master in Demon Beast Palace!

“Those who had treated me inhumanly in the past, I will do the same to you after I finally become a Gate Master!” Zeng Long looked towards the direction where the Monument Tear pointed and curved up the corner of his lips cruelly!

His ambition would keep growing exponentially, but Zeng Long simply let it grow. As long as he could obtain more Monument Tears, what was there to fear in this world no matter how big his ambition became?
