Darren flew to the edge of the holy emperor's tomb.
The gate of the stone wall was broken. It seemed like someone had forced his way in.
The Rule Soul Avatar couldn't have caused such damage since he could split the rules of the holy emperor's tomb to enter.
This was enough to confirm Darren's suspicion. The fiend was here at the holy emperor's tomb.
With that, he flew in.
His robes rustled softly behind him.
As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a strong wave of power.
But he pushed through it, flying deeper into the tomb.
A deep howl ripped through the air.
There were two figures inside the inheritance area.
One was the first fiend ancestor, and the other was the Tiger Cat. The latter was as gigantic as a mountain.
The first fiend ancestor's claws were dripped with blood. The scarlet liquid matched the wounds covering the Tiger Cat's body. Weakened and injured, the Tiger Cat was crawling on the ground.
Without warning, Darren threw a punch at the first fiend ancestor while the latter's back was turned on him. The impact was forceful enough to snap the fiend's back.
"Argh!"
It was only then that the fiend realized that he and the Tiger Cat were no longer alone.
"Tiger Cat, are you okay?"
"Phew!" Relief shone through the Tiger Cat's face upon seeing Darren. "That was a close one. He could have killed me if it weren't for you, Darren. You've truly become stronger. Your aura alone is terrifying."
The Tiger Cat began to shrink, lying on the ground, panting.
The Tiger Cat was actually at the peak of a half-step emperor. But since he could use the ancient rules, his strength could be compared to that of a holy emperor.
Nonetheless, he was still weaker than the fiend.
"Go ahead and heal yourself first. I'll deal with this."
Darren then turned around to face his opponent.
The fiend shuddered when he saw Darren.
"Go away!"
the fiend said to Darren in a special language.
"Fuck off!"
Darren let out a roar filled with rage and rushed towards the fiend. He grabbed him and hit him hard.
But the fiend was fast.
Immediately, he released the black pyramid and activated the Killing Abyss Skill.
Another howl pierced the air.
The fiend went berserk, attacking wildly without thought.
His Killing Abyss Skill was even more powerful now than the one he used before.
The abyss would suppress anyone with intentions of killing the fiend.
But Darren didn't care.
"Kill!"
Darren's blade and sword intents circled around him. The power emanating from him had greatly improved after he reached the level of
d probably use the Resurrection Force to kill himself just he could get pass the restrictions, and then, revive himself afterwards.
Unfortunately, the avatar was still trapped in the ancient times and could not return. Even if he wanted to return, he could only get through the River of Forgetfulness, and he wouldn't reach the cities.
For days, Darren mulled this over. He was becoming more and more restless by the second, and yet, he still couldn't find the solution.
Meanwhile, in the forbidden areas...
Finley, Scott, the Water Kylin, Caroline and the mutated gray-haired monkey all sat inside the hall.
The years of battle and cultivation had honed their strength to reach the very limit of the forbidden areas. Their powers could exceed that of an ordinary senior holy warrior.
In fact, Finley and the Water Kylin were almost within the level of holy emperors.
Logically speaking, all of them shouldn't have reached such level in a short time. However, they were probably lucky. The Water Kylin had assimilated the Fire and Water Immortal Character. Thus, his strength had surged since then. As for Finley, his drastic increase in cultivation base was very strange. No one could make out of his fortune at all.
"Damn it. If we ambush him now, we still have a chance to kill a part of his body," Finley said.
"No way. If the fiend successfully merges with his other two body parts, he will definitely kill us. Besides, we still have to deal with the damn Inner Fiend. There's nothing we can do." The Water Kylin's face was grave and serious.
"It's no good relying on you two only. It seems like I'll have to go to that place myself."
Scott, who had always been silent, stood up and looked out the distance.
