Chapter 1051 It's Him

As more powerful thunder punishment rained down on Darren, he could feel himself getting crushed by its powerful aura.

This time, he couldn't rely on the Shura to help him because the latter had sustained serious injuries after facing off the sea of thunder earlier.

The Shura himself knew this, so he was already trying to retreat desperately.

The first fiend ancestor had finally snapped out of his stupor and was trying to flee again. He didn't know how he could get out of there, but it was the only thing he could think of.

On the other hand, Darren had already given up.

"You are too weak."

A voice echoed in the air. Its deep timbre shook the earth at its core.

From amid the chaos, a person jumped out to stand in front of Darren.

"Who are you?" Darren asked. He could feel his heart stuttering inside his chest.

He couldn't sense anything from this strange man. It was as if he was hiding the slightest fluctuation of his power. Even the Shura couldn't do such thing.

What surprised Darren the most, however, was that the person's body was concealed behind yellow fog. A fog that seemed to be full of sand. Such thing was hardly from this world.

They stood before each other for a while before the man sneered. He then began to walk over to the void. His steps were deliberate and careful.

His next actions shocked Darren.

"No way!"

The man had grasped the black spear shaped like lightning with his bare hands. His grip was tight and certain. The spear then disappeared into the air, shattering into powdery-fine fragments.

That was the thunder punishment of Heavenly Repression! Nobody, not even the Shura, could have done that!

But this mysterious figure had crushed it with his bare hands!

'Is he from the Primitive Wilderness?' Darren wondered as he watched the person in complete awe.

Darren had met a lot of powerful warriors from the Primitive Wilderness, but none of them were at their peak. Their true strength had been suppressed by laws or they were in form of remnant souls.

The strongest he met was the immortal that assimilated Elsa. She had both physical body and a soul.

But the man in front of him seemed to be stronger than the immortal!

The spear lightning's demise had brought a strong gust of wind. It blew furiously from the person's side, forming a vortex that pulled in a heavy, dark cloud. It collided with the tribulation cloud, crashing into it violent

ear into thin air."

Darren stood on top of a mountain, overlooking the horizon. Every passage was sealed in the eighteen cities, so the fiend couldn't just get out of there. He should still be in this world.

"Where are you hiding?"

Darren looked around, trying to figure out what he had missed.

After three days of meditation, the answer had finally come to him.

"The holy emperor's tomb! Is he hiding there?" Darren frowned.

He had already been at every corner of the cities. The one place he hadn't been to was the holy emperor's tomb.

"He must be there! Now, let me see you run."

After he survived the thunder punishment of Heavenly Repression, Darren's power had finally reached the half-step emperor level. He was confident that he could kill the first fiend ancestor at this point.

With no time to waste, he rushed to the holy emperor's tomb.

He did so as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, outside the eighteen cities...

"It's all over now..."

Chandler stood on the ruins and sighed. His hair was disheveled as if he had run his hands through it so many times.

Several powerful men stood beside him, staring straight ahead in silence.

"I have a report, Master Finley!

The Inner Fiend had broken into another forbidden area."

Next to Chandler, Finley nodded his head at the news and then asked, "How is Barnes?"

"He's badly injured by the Inner Fiend and had already fled."

"Okay." Finley nodded.

"Three parts of his body have escaped. Counting the two in the eighteen cities, there are five in total. It won't be long before he fully recovers," the Water Kylin sighed.
