Chapter 1082 The Test

Questions rushed through Darren's mind one after the other.

"Sir, why did you leave your spiritual sense here? And where did you get those four coffins?" Darren asked directly.

Hiram the Great kept his gaze fixed at Darren and asked, "Do you know how many great disasters the Lothlann Continent has experienced since the ancient times?"

Darren had long known the answer. The Lothlann Continent had experienced five stages—during each of which great catastrophes had taken place.

"Five," Darren answered, confidently.

Hiram the Great nodded and said, "Correct. Now, these four coffins have four very powerful devils in them. They have the means to destroy this world."

"What?!"

Darren's eyes grew in surprise. He realized that the four coffins were in fact the exact tools used to suppress the destroyers responsible for the past great catastrophes.

"The Remote Age, the Ancient Age, the Middle Age, and the Last Age...these four ages ended all because of some powerful creatures from the outer space, but this doesn't mean we've reached the end of this world. During these four ages, shockingly powerful warriors emerged. With might and mettle, they managed to battle the deadly outsiders, and stopped them from destroying the world.

During the chaotic era that followed the end of the Last Age several million years ago, the evil fiend appeared in this world. I was able to delay this catastrophe with the help of the witcher ancestor and warriors from the various races.

Now that you've come here, the fifth catastrophe of this continent is bound to restart," announced Hiram the Great.

"The fifth catastrophe is going to restart?"

Darren noticed the detail in Hiram the Great's words. He didn't say he stopped the fifth catastrophe, but that he simply delayed it.

"That's correct. Since the combined forces of the witcher ancestor, other masters, and myself were still limited, we weren't able to slay the intruder. Hence, the fifth great catastrophe still exists. Only once a powerful warrior whose abilities surpass my own is born can we be able to ensure the survival of the human race.

In order to find out if you are this one powerful warrior, I'll need to test you," said Hiram the Great.

"Test me?" Darren was confused, and a little nervous. "By what means exactly?"

"By trial of life or death!"

Hiram the Great suddenly bellowed.

"There are four fake spiritual souls of the four creatures that created the past disasters in this world. The Virtual Battle Space allows you to reach the highest peak of your power in a shor

the Remote Age owned the Shura Force, too. So it will conflict with his skill. The dragon blood aura and the demonic internal force conflict with the capacity of the destroyer from the fifth catastrophe that was about to come; the Blade and Sword Cultivation also collides with the upcoming fifth catastrophe; the Water and Fire Cultivation is the skill of the Dark Immortal Master."

Darren's heart sank. It turned out that his chosen means couldn't be related to these opponents' skills.

Darren didn't even know until now that the disaster of the Remote Age was caused by the Shura.

However, the rest of his skills all contradicted with the skills that existed in the upcoming fifth crisis. This all just further confused him. If it was the demonic internal force alone, he knew that it conflicted with the first fiend ancestor's skill. But what about the dragon blood aura, and the Blade and Sword Cultivation?

In this world, only Darren was able to cultivate the sword and blade skills at the same time, and up to the half-step emperor realm!

What about the dragon blood aura? Presently, aside from Darren, Scott was the most powerful warrior to wield the dragon blood aura. Did this mean that the fifth crisis involved Scott as well?

The mere thought made a cold sweat break out on Darren's back.

The fifth crisis was so intricate that it was testing Darren's ability to comprehend now.

In addition, the witcher ancestor had mentioned that when the five Crisis Stars all lit up, the battle they'd been waiting for would come.

But now, only one was lit up. Who and where were the other four?

Darren was running out of options as all his skills were rejected. For a moment, he was helpless.
