Drakon of The Seven Armies – Chapter 3096

"The limits of my life were nearly exhausted, and to prolong my time as my strength wanes, l indeed drew on the lives of 400 thousand soldiers from the Southern Sky Kingdom. I acknowledge it's against the natural law, but I have exercised great restraint," the elder continued, letting out a long, weighty sigh.

"Life and death are but brief flashes across centuries, ephemeral like a blooming flower. Every living being faces the cycle of rebirth, and l merely allowed them an early return to it. There is no need for you to carry this weight... On the path of martial arts, one must ultimately release the burdens of the mortal world..."

The deep sigh, coupled with his words, struck Isaac like the resounding toll of an ancient bell.

An odd clarity washed over him, dispersing his fatigue and filling him with an inexplicable feeling of openness.

Isaac shook his head, quickly anchoring his mind. There was no chance he‘d allow himself to be drawn into this mindset. To him, this elder could not be trusted.
