Chapter 1096 A Battle With Blood And Tears (Part One)

The battle between Darren and the first fiend ancestor was inevitable.

"I'll kill you this time!"

Darren roared as his body turned crimson-red, and his blade and sword intents gushed forward.

With a malicious grin, the first fiend ancestor stormed toward Darren. He madly scratched and tore Darren's blade and sword intents to pieces.

'He is much stronger than before.'

Darren was astounded. The first fiend ancestor had collected five body parts, and he used only his physical strength to resist Darren's blade and sword intents.

Although shocked, Darren didn't despair. On the contrary, renewed determination surged within him. While the first fiend ancestor attacked his blade and sword intents, Darren released his Shura Force. In the blink of an eye, the force surrounded and bombarded the first fiend ancestor.

"To me, you are no better than an ant!"

Although the first fiend ancestor was forced back by the Shura Force, he wasn't injured. So, he disdained Darren's powers.

"Really?"

Darren sneered as he quietly summoned and released his dark gold internal force.

Swish, swish, swish...

The dark gold internal force pierced through the first fiend ancestor's blood-red scales and reached his bones.

"Roar!" The agony coursing through him didn't lessen the first fiend ancestor's fighting power. On the contrary, the pain seemed to have increased his madness.

So determined was he to annihilate this human that the first fiend ancestor unleashed his strongest skill. Soon, the entire sky filled with overwhelming Killing Rule.

The sky turned into a Killing Abyss.

Darren's expression turned grim. Now that the first fiend ancestor had activated the Killing Abyss Skill, Darren's attack would backfire if he used a bit of killing intent. This was something he had experienced before.

What also astounded Darren was that the first fiend ancestor's Killing Abyss Skill was more powerful than before.

For a split second, he debated over which attack method to use. Then, he quietly activated the Nine Changes of the Demon.

He had determined that only this powerful skill could counteract the threat of the Killing Abyss Skill.

After he activated the Nine Changes of the Demon to the eighth change, his body started to transform into the fiend, and the effect of the Killing Abyss Skill reduced significantly.

The only regret was that Darren couldn't trigger the ninth change as he hadn't fully comprehended it in the outer world. What he comprehended in the Virtual Battle Space had long since faded.

To activate the eighth change to fight against the Killing Abyss Skill

an is no match for the first fiend ancestor even after he transformed into a dragon."

"God, please, please let him survive."

Millions of humans sighed as hopelessness filled their hearts.

Crack, crack...

Countless bolts of lightning flashed across the sky. Soon, the first fiend ancestor's attacks had badly mangled Darren's body.

As Darren was only a half-step emperor, with the strength of the middle stage of the Emperor Realm, he was far weaker than the first fiend ancestor. He was thus, destined to lose this battle.

"Human, I have finally subdued you. Now, I will kill you."

In a flash, the first fiend ancestor flew toward Darren's dragon neck. Before he could do anything, a long scarlet claw pierced Darren's chest.

Sizzle...

The first fiend ancestor's claw corroded as soon as it came in contact with Darren's dragon blood aura. But the pain was nothing to him. If he could push just a little more, he could crush Darren's heart.

Darren's life was in grave danger.

At this moment, many memories flashed through Darren's mind.

He knew by now that this was a sure sign of the omen of death.

Whoosh!

At this crucial moment, another dark gold internal force slammed into the first fiend ancestor's arm.

This dark gold internal force was weaker than Darren's. However, as the first fiend ancestor was not expecting it, the collision repelled him a few feet. Now, he was no longer close enough to touch Darren's heart.

"Darren, run!"

Hanson shouted as he squared his shoulders and prepared to face the first fiend ancestor.

Darren, who was barely conscious, forced himself to move to a safe distance.

"Do you want to die?" The first fiend ancestor directed a strong fiendish aura toward Hanson.
