CHAPTER 1001 MAKE AN OATH
"Our chances of survival are slim if we fight head-on with the Ape Spiritual King."
As a holy emperor, the old man wasn't scared, but he was worried.
"Let's wait and see. Perhaps we can negotiate." Darren was more optimistic.
"Human, how dare you break my ancestor's statue? You must die." An old voice echoed in the space
an instant before the appearance of a pale golden phantom.
"He is skilled at using Spatial Rule."
When the golden figure appeared, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed his abilities.
The Ape Spiritual King assessed the three people standing before him. Then, his gaze locked on the
Rule Soul Avatar.
"You're not bad. Although your rule forces are very powerful, they are not the Universe Rules with
which I am familiar," stated the Ape Spiritual King.
The Rule Soul Avatar activated his silver eyes as he released his spiritual sense to probe the old ape.
A moment later, he concluded that the Ape Spiritual King was mighty indeed!
His strength was different from that of the god's soul from outer space as his power was not restricted
in many ways. The old ape also had an actual body. He was only a little weaker than the god's soul
who used the god's power.
"I don't want to fight you." The Rule Soul Avatar's voice was as cold as ever.
The old ape's wrinkled face twitched as if he were suppressing a laugh when he heard the statement.
"Since you destroyed my ancestor's statue, you will die. There is no point in negotiating." The old ape
sounded grim and determined, like a judge announcing a death sentence.
"Sir,"
Darren flew forward and interjected.
"We don't want to disturb you. We just happened to pass through here. Please forgive us and let us
leave," Darren explained.
"Are you begging for forgiveness?" the old ape smacked his lips and said. "Begging doesn't work on
me!"
"Old ape, don't be so arrogant! If you pick a fight, you'll be challenging two holy emperors. Even if you
win, you will be severely injured!" The old man flew forward and released his holy emperor's power.
"Humph!" The old ape snorted and said, "You might be the emperor of human ants, but you are no
match for me. How dare you challenge me? What's more, I don't see the two holy emperors you
mentioned on your side."
Although the old ape felt that the power of Darren's Rule Soul Avatar was strange, he could sense that
he was not a holy emperor. And Darren was far inferior to a holy emperor.
"It seems that you won't give up unless you die, will you?" the old man roared.
"Cut the crap, you human being! There is no need to waste my time," the old ape replied.
The Rule Soul Avatar stood in front of Darren. When he heard this, he knew that the fight couldn't be
avoided. He activated his Spirit Power and began to choose the suitable Oath Rule with which to fight.
"I swear by my name that you'll die if you use more than seventy percent power in your fight. This oath
is valid for two months,"
the Rule Soul Avatar stated solemnly.
It was an oath. It looked like that it was easy to make such a declaration, but in fact, it wasn't as
straightforward to make an oath that needed to be fulfilled.
Even if someone at the same level as Darren's Rule Soul Avatar had mastered the Oath Rule like he
did, they couldn't make such kind of oaths. Because it would take a few months to make an appropriate
oath out of millions of oaths. Besides, other warriors couldn't unilaterally conclude an oath with the
other party.
Thus, the Rule Soul Avatar's ability to make oaths was astounding!
Now that he had made an oath, all he could do was wait. He wasn't even sure whether the Oath Rule
could be attached to the old ape.
A few seconds later, some black rule silk threads appeared, covered the old ape, and entered his body.
"Great!" The old man, who was standing beside Darren, was overjoyed to see this.
"It should work," Darren remarked optimistically. He was less nervous now.
After a while, the old ape's real body appeared, and his face was livid.
"You!" The old ape bared his sharp teeth as he roared at the Rule Soul Avatar. "You established an
oath with me!"
As a spiritual beast king, who had lived for millions of years, the old ape had seen many oaths, just like
his grandson had voluntarily taken Yahya as his master. That was some kind of oath as well. But, as far holds text © rights.
as the old ape knew, oaths must be established after both sides had agreed.
However, this human in front of him had managed to create a one-sided oath, which enraged him and
made him suspicious!
Since their oath had been forged successfully, the Rule Soul Avatar was no longer afraid of the old
ape.
The conditions of the oath were clear. For the next two months, the old ape could only exert seventy
percent of his power at most, or the power of the Oath Rule would kill him.
The Ape Spiritual King was strong, but if he reduced his power by thirty percent, he might be unable to
fight against two holy emperors!
"We have made an oath. You have two choices." The cold voice of the Rule Soul Avatar was heard.
Before the angry old ape replied, the Rule Soul Avatar continued, "The first is to take ten drops of your
blood essence and hand them to us. Then, we will retreat. The second choice is to fight me to
determine the winner."
Upon hearing this, the old ape flew into a rage and stomped his foot. He released such tremendous
power that the ground under him shattered.
"So, you came for my blood essence. Good. You will never know how cruel this world is if I don't beat
you into a meat paste."
As the chosen one in this world, the old ape thought his blood essence was incomparably noble. How
dare a human being ask for his blood essence? Obviously, the old ape couldn't accept the first option
put forward by the Rule Soul Avatar.
"Let's fight."
The Rule Soul Avatar also noticed that the old ape would not surrender because of the oath. When the
old ape accepted the challenge, the Rule Soul Avatar activated his power in a flash.
On the other side, the old man also readied himself for the fight. Both his holy emperor power and his
Primitive Fighting Force were enabled to the limit.
"Go to hell, all of you!"
The old ape activated his skills in a rage and launched the first attack.
"Is he hiding in the void?" The Rule Soul Avatar was able to determine the old ape's skill at a glance.
He already knew that the old ape was skilled at using the Spatial Rule. Now that he could study the old
ape's skill better, the avatar could see that the Spatial Rule that the old ape used was not inferior to his.
Boom!
The next moment, the Rule Soul Avatar disappeared just as a withered ape palm tried to grab his head.
"Ever-changing Skill,"
the Rule Soul Avatar murmured. Suddenly his body exploded into tens of thousands of light dots that
hid in the space.
"Howl!"
The old ape was surprised to see the Rule Soul Avatar's Spatial Rule skill.
The Ever-changing Skill was also an example of skilled use of the Spatial Rule. It could divide his body
into tens of thousands of pieces and hide them in space while his soul could be attached to any of the
dots.
This meant that the Rule Soul Avatar could avoid attacks because he now existed as tens of thousands
of dots at the same time.
"It's unbelievable that a human being has such talent," the old ape couldn't help but exclaim. A human
being, who hadn't reached the Emperor Realm, had a spatial skill that was on par with his! It was
beyond his expectation.
"Go to hell!"
After observing carefully, the old man found the old ape's body. And so, he shot at the ape with a long
cyan spear.
The shadow of the spear split into tens of thousands of shadows; the power of each was surprisingly
destructive.
The void burst and space vanished along the path taken by the spear shadows. The spear shadows'
fighting power was incredible.
The expression on the face of the old ape darkened. He roared and wanted to gather a strong force
with which to annihilate the old man.
But, a split second later, he realized that he would die if he used more than seventy percent of his
strength!
