Chapter 886 The Liquid's Power

It was becoming obvious that the Misty Emperor was entertaining the idea of retreating. And yet, something seemed to be holding him back.

He thought of Darren, gritting his teeth as he debated between letting him go or pushing on.

In the end, however, the Misty Emperor decided to follow the aura to get close to Darren.

Meanwhile, Darren was finally coming down from his powerful state. It was at this time that he realized just how strong the effects of the light red liquid was. It was so powerful that just a drop of it would be enough.

'It can boost my power and realm in an instant, but it burns up real fast.' He made a mental note to himself.

It was a good thing that Darren was able to gather twelve drops of the liquid. Now that he had used one, he still had eleven. Surely, this precious liquid would be enough to get him through many crises.

"Such a pity that I had to use a drop already," he sighed. "But I wonder...would I be able to defeat the Misty Emperor if I use just one drop of this?"

A plan began formulating itself inside his head. The memory of how such power surged through his body after taking that one drop was enough to push him to do something unthinkably risky.

Finally, he had decided. The Misty Emperor was chasing him, while he, on the other hand, wanted to fight him now.

By taking one drop of the liquid, he saw two outcomes in his confrontation with the Misty Emperor. Either he could win against the latter, or he could lose, but he would be able to escape the Misty Emperor.

Determined now more than ever, he flew back.

Back to the Misty Emperor, the emperor seemed surprised.

"What?"

With his Spirit Power covering the entire hundred feet around him, he could sense Darren's location.

"Ha-ha, I've finally found this guy."

Excitement welled up inside him upon the prospect of seeing the human once again.

He had been feeling cooped up inside the forbidden domain. Any longer and he feared he might provoke the thing.

Not wanting to wait a second longer, he met with Darren halfway through.

In a blink of an eye, he now stood behind the latter. With his raised hand, he delivered a forceful slap on the human's back.

Unfortunately for Darren, his spiritual sense was suppressed so he didn't sense the incoming attack.

It sent Darren reeling through the air.

The impact had caused his back to collapse and blood spewed out of his body.

The Misty Emperor let out a sinister laugh at that.

"Human brat, let me see if you can escape that!"

But Darren only stood his ground. Determination was flaring in his eyes, so bright tha

rames and different places, all at the same time.

"What kind of attack is this? It's so powerful!"

Darren exclaimed. He could feel the trickle of dread filling him up so he absorbed yet another drop of the red liquid. Without it, he was sure to be crushed by this peculiar, strong force.

After taking in the drop, his aura reached its peak once more.

Surging with newfound power, he cleared his mind and used his Shura Force.

With the holy emperor's power and his Shura Force combined, it pushed him to a whole new level of power. It was like the time when the Primitive Emperor took control over his body.

Back then, the Primitive Emperor was able to wield the Bloody Shura Froce and break through the thunder punishment. It was such a terrifying force!

But of course, a drop of the holy emperor's power wouldn't be enough to stand against the Primitive Emperor. For now, it would be enough to turn Darren into a half-step emperor.

As he passed through countless of time frames, unconsciousness was threatening to take him over. But in the last second, a shaft of blood red light broke through the force. It suppressed everything around it.

The multi-colored halo around Darren collapsed.

The whole scene stunned the Misty Emperor. He couldn't believe his eyes when Darren came out bursting with a power comparable to the strongest half-step emperor's.

Darren had become strong enough to smash the Misty Emperor's Time Fragment Rule.

"What?!"

he roared and spat out a mouthful of blood, nursing his injured soul.

At the same time, a face began to quietly form on the other side of the darkness. His expression was cold as ice while his eyes held such hatred and greed. He gazed intently at Darren's direction.
