CHAPTER 1008 REVEALING FATE

"Yahya, my grandson will be upset with me if I hurt you. And so, I will only use forty percent of my

power to fight you. Still, be careful." The old ape smiled lightly.

"Ha-ha, sir, you can't hurt me if you only use forty percent of your strength. Use your full power, please.

Since I'm a holy emperor, I will only use eighty percent of my strength," Yahya advised.

"Don't be so overconfident, Yahya!"

Without another word, the old ape released an intense force from his body. His big palm transformed

into many palm shadows, and rushed toward Yahya.

Yahya didn't even dodge the attack. He stood calmly and waited for the palms to land.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions shook the earth and sky! Clouds of smoke and dust erupted from the ground

where Yahya stood.

"Ah! Grandpa, you hit him too hard." The little ape was worried and looked at his grandfather with

reproachful eyes.

"What a silly boy! He became too confident of his abilities after he reached the Emperor Realm. Why

did he think that he could block forty percent of my strength? He wasn't powerful enough. He should

have at least dodged," the old ape mumbled as he peered into the dust with the hopes of seeing

Yahya's figure.

"Sir, I told you that you could not defeat me."

All of a sudden, a strong wind dispersed the dust and revealed Yahya's unharmed figure.

"What?! You withstood my blow? You aren't even a little bit hurt?!" The old ape was surprised.

"Wow, master, you are stronger than before." The little ape clapped his hands as relief and excitement

coursed through him.

"Of course, I'm getting stronger." Yahya smiled and continued, "Sir, you will be able to judge my

strength when I attack you. But be careful!"

Then, he raised his palm and pushed it toward the old ape. His movement was so slow and light that it

didn't even cause a space fluctuation.

However, the old ape's face suddenly darkened, and he retreated a few steps. Then, the old ape's body

grew by thousands of feet, and he appeared ferocious. holds text © rights.

"What?! Is Grandpa using his most powerful strength?" The little ape's eyes widened with

astonishment. He knew his grandfather well enough to recognize that his grandfather would never use

this move unless he was fighting with powerful cultivators in the same realm.

Just then, Yahya's palm pushed through the layers of space and closed in on the old ape.

"Howl!"

The old ape looked ferocious as he bared his fangs.

He raised his iron-fists and gathered the strongest power to fend off Yahya's attack.

In the instant that their palms and fists collided, the world fell quiet. But, the layers of space around

them were annihilated one by one.

The little ape standing beside was frightened to see the scene. If it hadn't been for his grandfather and

Yahya, who had simultaneously released their power to protect him, he would have died thousands of

times.

The fight lasted for an hour.

In the end, the old ape's body trembled violently as he backed away. But Yahya stood before the two

apes, unharmed and composed.

The stronger of the two had been determined in this battle!

"Awesome!" The old ape held his ground, and after some contemplation, he said, "The powers of the

three Double Cultivation methods have reached a point where the combined power is thousands of

times better than that of a single cultivation method. You've become a peerless master." The old ape's

body returned to normal size as he spoke. A deep sense of relief reflected in his expression as he

glanced at Yahya.

"I'm flattered, sir. But, I'm afraid I'm not as good as what you say," he looked calm and relaxed as he

replied to the old ape.

"Don't be so humble. Your strength is enough to fight against the man at the bottom of the sea. You are

superior to most of the other holy emperors. As time goes by, and you continue to cultivate further, you

will become the most powerful holy emperor in the world. No one can hurt you unless they are super

emperors."

"Thank you for the compliment," Yahya replied with a subtle bow.

"What are you going to do next?" Now that the old ape had witnessed Yahya's strength, he was

confident that the boy would be strong enough to deal with Darren and his companions. He was hoping

that Yahya had considered fighting them, especially since Darren had threatened to kill Yahya at their

last encounter.

The old ape hated Darren. Had it not been for the oath between the avatar and his grandson, the old

ape would have killed Darren and the others himself.

Now, he could only wait for Yahya to take action.

"Yes, master, do you remember the boy named Darren who came to kill you ten years ago? My

grandpa tried his best to protect you. However, that bastard used cunning means to acquire ten drops

of blood essence from my grandpa. He is really hateful," the little ape added as he understood what his

grandfather was talking about.

"My grandchild is right. It appears as though you have to take care of that bastard," said the old ape.

After some hesitation, Yahya replied, "I will fight him for sure. But, I don't understand how a powerful

master like you could lose."

The old ape's face turned red with anger, and he said, "That bastard had a powerful companion who

had mastered the skill of establishing a one-sided oath. So, he restrained me and used my grandson to

force me to surrender. He is really despicable and shameless!"

"Really?" When Yahya heard this, his eyes lit up. "Can you give me more details, sir?" Yahya asked.

"Okay." The old ape nodded before he shared all the details of the battle that had happened ten years

ago.

After he finished, Yahya smiled and said to himself, "That young man's potential is indeed above mine.

He is certainly the man my masters' master chose..."

"Master, what do you mean? Why did you praise that bastard?" Fury coursed through the little ape

when he inadvertently heard Yahya's comment.

"You don't understand. We're rivals. It was me in the future who had arranged for Darren's arrival in this

ancient world. With the restrictions on him, it's not been easy for Darren to become such a strong

warrior. Besides, he has a lot of secret magical skills, which makes me feel inferior," Yahya briefly

explained.

What Yahya didn't explain was his motivation for arranging this. In fact, Yahya wasn't an evil man at all.

When the future Yahya set up the test of "Rivals", he deliberately changed the character of his younger

self, to ensure that Darren would regard him as a real enemy. Only in this way could the test of "Rivals"

really start.

The real Yahya was not only very talented but also very kind.

Now that Yahya had become a holy emperor, he was aware of what he had arranged in his future days.

Now, his hostility toward Darren had disappeared entirely. It was just the rules he had set for the test.

"I don't understand." Puzzled, the little ape scratched his head.

"Listen to me carefully..."

Then Yahya told the whole story to the old ape and the little ape.

"No, I don't want to listen anymore." The little ape cried when he heard that Yahya would die one day.

"Master, you said you would die. I don't believe you. You are already a holy emperor. You can't die."

The little ape found it hard to accept that a Bloody Shura would kill his master.

"That's the truth. But, I will see you as my brother forever. I hope that you live a good life." Yahya patted

the little ape's shoulder and tried to comfort him.

"But..." The little ape cried even harder.

"Well, that's enough." The old ape stopped the little ape. "I have sensed energy fluctuation of the Shura

Force around Darren. Maybe if Yahya killed him, everything would change," the old ape comforted his

grandson.

"Is he really the one who will kill you?" the old ape asked and glanced at Yahya.

"I don't know. I'll know when we have our final battle," Yahya replied calmly.

"When will that battle happen? I believe that the sooner you do it, the better. If you wait too long, he

might grow stronger," the old ape suggested.

Yahya remained silent and peered into the distance.
