Chapter 433: Doubt
"Artaurus?" Balmond's voice quivered as he stared at his son who has been in a deranged state for thousands of years. He tried various ways to make his son recover and he even asked the help of many famous healers and alchemists. However, all of them came to the same conclusion. Artaurus had no hopes of recovery.
Artaurus' condition has been his greatest regret in his life and Balmond had even almost given up.
Seeing that his son has now recovered, this tough Demon Emperor could barely hold back his tears from falling. If not for the presence of other people here, he would have cried his heart out.
With a great leap, Balmond arrived in front of Artaurus. He held his son's shoulder and inspected Artaurus' body using spiritual perception.
The berserk spiritual energy was no longer there and even Artaurus' physical constitution seemed to be improving at a discernible speed.
Balmond was stunned when he saw this scene. Just what kind of miraculous Array Formation was the Soul Stabilizing Array Formation? Wait. Didn't he just meet with Jiu Shen a few hours ago? Then does that mean this fellow was able to create such godly Array Formation in just an hour?! That was ridiculous!
"Wine Master Jiu Shen, is Artaurus fine now?" Balmond stared at the young human with a look of respect. Just how many secrets was this guy hiding? On top of being a great expert and a high-level Alchemist, this guy also showed that he was a capable Array Formation Maker! Don't tell me when he mentioned that he could repair Demon Empress Ganda's weapons, he was actually speaking the truth?!
Jiu Shen shrugged with a lazy look on his face. "You've seen his body yourself, right? Did you see anything wrong with it? Why are you asking such an idiotic question? Oh, right! You can tell him what happened since I don't have time to explain things to him. Also, hurry up and go back to the garden. There are a few spiritual plants that are about to bear fruits. You should help Yue Bo in gathering them. Alright, I have to go now. Bye."
He didn't even give Balmond the chance to speak as he vanished in just a blink of an eye...
The Demon Emperor could only stare at the empty space with a blank look.
"Your Majesty, who is that insolent, human? He actually dared to talk like that in your presence. We should behead humans like him!" Artaurus' words broke his reverie and he immediately sent a sharp glare at his son.
"Bastard! Don't talk like that to Wine Master Jiu Shen! Are you tired of living anymore!? I even thickened my face to beg him just to help you recover!" Balmond recovered his emperor demeanor and immediately scolded Artaurus, making the latter shrink his neck in terror.
"What do you mean?" Artaurus asked in a shaky voice. He didn't understand what his father was talking about. The last thing he could recall was hazy and he could only remember himself frenziedly killing everyone. He thought that it was a dream. Just what happened?
Balmond sighed when he saw the confusion written all over Artaurus' face. He then proceeded to tell his clueless son about what had happened. Balmond narrated everything from the start, from how Artaurus suddenly turned crazy and began attacking people, when Balmond had no choice but to seal his cultivation and imprison him in a hidden dungeon, until the present.
Artaurus' eyes became dazed as he listened to his father. He couldn't believe that so many things have happened ever since that day. And when he heard that thousands of years had passed, Artaurus couldn't help but feel despair. His youth has been spent without him even having the chance to enjoy it. That was also the most ideal time for him to create a sturdy foundation for his future cultivation path. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn back time.
Balmond sighed and shook his head when he saw the look of despair on Artaurus' face. A genius child actually experienced such a devastating event. It was truly regretful...
"Does it mean that my future accomplishments would become mediocre?" Artaurus muttered with a blank look on his face.
Balmond was silent when he heard his son's words, but then he suddenly recalled Jiu Shen's words at that time.
"From what Wine Master Jiu Shen has told me, you have the Berserk Spirit Divine Body. According to him, this type of physique is special, but I have no idea what it is. However, Wine Master Jiu Shen was the one who helped you recover. He should know how you can make up for the time you've wasted!" Balmond became excited the more he spoke. He then held his son's shoulder and told him.
"Artaurus, you can come with me later to the lotus building. Your body is special, so our Bloodfallen Family's techniques aren't suitable for you, but you still have a chance if we plead Wine Master Jiu Shen." Balmond said. In truth, he felt embarrassed to face Jiu Shen right now since he had already asked too many favors from the man. Now, he was even planning to ask for his help again, but he truly had no one else he could go to. Only Jiu Shen was capable of helping Artaurus now.
"Father, is that guy truly that impressive?" Artaurus stared at Balmond's nearly fanatical look with doubt. He still held prejudice about humans since they have been long-time enemies of the Demon Race. Artaurus also remembered that his father abhorred the sight of humans, so it was quite surprising to see him so respectful to a race he once hated.
Balmond glared at Artaurus and smack his son's head lightly. Though he didn't dare add too much force since Artaurus had just recovered. Still, it made Artaurus stumble.
"That man has already transcended the Void God Realm! I'm not even sure how strong he is right now, but I'm certain that no one else in Nuar could compete with him! Even those beings of the ancient times might have to grovel beneath his feet! What do you think? Is he impressive or not?"
Hearing his father's exaggerated words, Artaurus could only nod his head while keeping his doubts to himself.
