Chapter 262 Entering The Thirteenth Space

Darren was shocked. For a brief moment, the impulse to surrender coursed through him.

But he was infuriated by what happened next.

A golden shadow rushed to him and covered his mouth with one hand.

'What the fuck? How dare you...' Darren cursed.

The shadow was Finley. Although he was the space defender now, Finley was as weird as before.

"Hey, challenger! Are you scared now?"

'Finley, you son of a bitch! Asshole!' Darren cursed him again.

"I've exerted my domain skill. As long as you ask for mercy and admit defeat, you can leave.

Come on, loser! Beg me! Do it or die!"

Finley's hand was still wrapped around Darren. He couldn't move at all!

Darren was irritated by this moron.

Just as he was about to fight back, Darren sensed a tremendous force approaching them.

Finley had noticed it as well. Shocked, he looked up to confirm his suspicions.

To his astonishment, a large palm that exuded a threatening aura was headed for them.

Boom!

Finley released Darren and enhanced the power of his domain. Then, he rushed forward to defend against the palm.

"Space Burst!"

Finley shouted.

Bang!

Darren didn't have time to think. The moment Finley released him, he ran from the attacking palm shadow. When he was at a safe distance, Darren turned to see what had happened.

He would never forget what he saw.

Finley was using all of his power to fight against that palm.

However, to Darren's surprise, Finley was suppressed, like a piece of paper. The attack was so powerful that Finley vanished in the blink of an eye.

'A defender was killed by someone stronger? In such a short time?' Darren couldn't believe his eyes.

What kind of person could be powerful enough to achieve this feat? Before he could recover from the shock, Darren released his spiritual sense and found an undetectable force in the twelfth space. The mysterious shadow launched his palm attack toward the sky. The attack was so intense that a black crack spread through the whole space. Everything trembled and shook as though the Ancient Void Battlefield was about to collapse.

Boom! Boom!

When the shadow stopped releasing several palm attacks, the whole void became peaceful and quiet again.

Till now, Darren could not look at the shadow. Once the attacks stopped, he was able to see a figure in the distance—i

asn't there an effective way to break through these restrictions?

"When you entered, I noticed that you've been cultivating conflicting martial arts skills. I presumed that the Heavenly Repression wouldn't impact you in my Ancient Void Battlefield. However, I see that you couldn't escape the suppression," the Shadow Emperor explained. Darren could tell from the manner in which the Shadow Emperor spoke that he wasn't like a child at all.

"Perhaps it's because you're not the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield," the Shadow Emperor mumbled as he contemplated Darren's situation.

"Mr. Guardian, show yourself!" After a brief pause, the Shadow Emperor shouted at the sky. To Darren's surprise, the guardian of the first space he met appeared in the thirteenth space.

The old guardian sobbed when he saw the Shadow Emperor hovering in the air.

Although the guardian was an old man, he fell to his knees as he faced the Shadow Emperor who was just an eight-year-old child.

"Master..." His lips trembled.

It was obvious that he hadn't seen his master in a long time.

After he calmed down, the old man remembered what his master had said to him many years ago. He had reassured the old man that at their next meeting, the matter that worried him would be settled.

"Come with me."

The Shadow Emperor asked the old guardian to follow him before turning and walking toward the dark place.

Darren intended to go with them. However, when he took his first step, Darren felt as though a soft force had trapped him. He couldn't move an inch.
