Chapter 937 The Blood River Behind The Door

Even when consciousness was slowly slipping from him, Darren could feel that the guardian was coming for him. Both of them were no longer in their peak states, but the guardian could still kill him under such circumstances.

The others wouldn't dare confront the guardian. Their skills were too common so they didn't have the capabilities to save Darren now. Even the Grand Crow couldn't attack the guardian.

After deflecting the third attack, Darren's armor had returned to the spatial treasure of the Grand Crow.

But now that he was on the brink of death, he had to use all his strength for a chance to survive. However, just staying conscious was a battle itself.

Almost instinctively, he searched for his Space Ring.

A black armor appeared, making a loud ruckus at its arrival.

It wrapped itself around his heart and head to make sure that they were protected. It was the Dark Emperor Armor.

But this didn't seem to bother the guardian. He simply charged towards Darren and began pounding on the Dark Emperor Armor.

Black runes burst out from each collision. The Dark Emperor Armor fought back automatically until a huge black hand came out of nowhere and grabbed hold of the guardian.

Having lost his vitality from the last few rounds, the guardian couldn't put all his strength in his struggle to get out of the grasp. Trapped by the Dark Emperor Armor's power, he failed to shatter Darren's heart.

He let out a piercing howl.

Mustering all his strength, he continued unleashing his attacks at Darren. His body was on the verge of destruction even as black and white lights shot towards Darren's heart like sharp, black arrows.

The Dark Emperor Armor wasn't in good condition, either. With just one blow, it could fall apart anytime especially since Darren didn't own the complete set.

Just then, everyone heard a cat's meow.

They looked around, but they couldn't see any signs of the cat. They saw a silver tail like that of a tiger flashed by, but it quickly disappeared again.

With a flick from the tail, the black and white light dispersed in an instant.

"Boy, you have passed the first test." A low rustling sound came out and Darren suddenly found himself covered in green light. His wounds began knitting themselves back and his bones rearranged themselves to mend the breaks. In just a blink of an eye, he was good as new.

"What? What's going on?"

As soon as everything had settled down, everyone had a look of surprise and confusion on their faces. They didn't know who was speaking.

Then, a Tiger Cat jumped out of nowhere, revealing itself to everyone.

"To those who wish to enter my master's tomb for their own interests, listen to me.

To be frank, you are all rubbish, and there's no chance for you to get through this journey. Strictly speaking, none of you can pass the first test, let alone the

st proceed with caution after this. If we had difficulties in the first one, the second one would be much harder," Chaz warned. He had finally woken up from the trance he was stuck in. His powers were also finally free from the suppression that restrained them.

"I fear for you, too, Darren. It's too dangerous," Laura echoed back. Her worry reflected Chaz's own sentiment. She, too, had just come out of her trance and was now scared for Darren. But she was able to hide it better than Chaz.

"We won't know it's true if we don't try first. And if it turns out that it's not dangerous, then everyone will get treasures," Darren said, shrugging casually.

"That's right," Anthony agreed. But he let out a sigh.

Then, the stench of blood filled the place. It was pitch black in here and they couldn't see where it was coming from.

Finally, streaks of dim light broke through the darkness. The door opened and everyone stepped inside. Behind the door was a boundless black ground. And on the ground, there was the violent red of a blood river.

"This is the blood river! It's said that the emperor's blood spilled and covered the entire land after he died. Thus, this river was created."

Darren felt the pounding of his heart speeding up until it began to trip on itself. The sight of the river amazed him.

He had already seen it once in the forbidden domain of the Space-time Palace. Back then, he had accidentally assimilated a lot of holy emperor's power and condensed them into many droplets. Each drop was enough to increase his powers until he reached the level of a half-step emperor.

This blood river was left by an ancient emperor who cultivated three conflicting martial arts skills. Darren found himself wondering what kind of strength he could get from devouring the remaining powers of the holy emperor in this place.

Just the very thought of the possibilities excited him.
