CHAPTER 1014 ASSIMILATE THE SHURA FORCE

"No, I won't."

After a long pause, the Bloody Shura's voice echoed in Darren's mind. His tone had been so cold that it

sent a shiver down Darren's spine.

"Well, if you don't agree, you will stay in this state forever. Do you think you can survive then?" Darren

negotiated.

"I have already regained most of my life aura. In ten years, the remainder will be restored, and I will be

at my peak. You are of no value to me," the Bloody Shura said.

Darren was stumped. He didn't know this about the Bloody Shura. Now, he had nothing with which to

continue the negotiation.

The Bloody Shura was on the verge of revival. Even if Darren withheld the dark-spirit crystals, he was

destined to be resurrected.

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy you before you completely recover?"

"You don't have that power," the Bloody Shura remarked.

"You!" Darren was genuinely worried now. He couldn't convince the Bloody Shura to help him, nor

could he destroy the Bloody Shura before he regained his powers.

All this while, Darren had waited eagerly for this critical point in the resurrection process as he had

hoped to negotiate with the Bloody Shura. Unexpectedly, the Bloody Shura saw through Darren's

intentions and did not compromise.

Now that the Bloody Shura had refused to help him, embarrassment coursed through Darren.

"Well, I respect your choice. I hope that you won't regret it." Darren had no choice but to exit the

Ancient Void Battlefield.

When he stepped out, Darren found that the secret room was filled with Shura Force that was as thick

as blood.

"What?!" Although astounded, Darren instinctively activated his assimilating power.

Buzz…

The space began to tremble, and Darren was pleasantly surprised to see that he could assimilate the

Shura Force!

"What's going on?" Darren murmured as curiosity coursed through him.

Earlier, he had tried to assimilate the Shura Force in the Ancient Void Battlefield, but he had failed.

Now, he had succeeded in assimilating the Shura Force that had spread to the secret room. Darren

couldn't understand what had changed.

"Perhaps it's because of the different rule systems," Darren speculated. Regardless of the reason, he

continued to assimilate.

Three days later, Darren had absorbed all of the thick Shura Force.

At this moment, Darren felt unprecedentedly powerful. In fact, his body felt as if it would burst with all

the strength it contained.

'Have I reached the Emperor Realm?' A smile tugged on Darren's lips at the thought. Ever since he

became a five-tribulation junior holy warrior, he had the strength of a peak half-step emperor when he

used the Shura Force's power.

Now that Darren's Shura Force had soared, his strength had also increased. In this case, he could fight

against a holy emperor!

But, this was not enough for him. He couldn't defeat the Sea Spiritual King. And Yahya had the help of

his masters. So, it would still be difficult for him to deal with Yahya.

"I have made some progress, and patience is key to further growth. I can't be too anxious now."

Darren had been worried before as he didn't believe that he could defeat Yahya. Now that he had the

chance to assimilate the Shura Force, he could improve his strength faster. He no longer needed to be

in a hurry!

'I have finished assimilating the Shura Force outside the secret room. Why is there no more Shura

Force flowing from the Ancient Void Battlefield?' Darren wondered.

Puzzled, Darren used the force of control to enter the Ancient Void Battlefield again.

In the cave, the Bloody Shura still lay on the ice bed. At this moment, Darren could feel that the Bloody

Shura's life aura had grown stronger.

'He can indeed recover and return to life in ten years.

I have to think of a way to let more of the Shura Force to spill into the outside world. If I can get

stronger with the Shura Force, I might be able to kill this Shura, who cannot move at all. In this way, I

can still negotiate and control him, ' Darren thought.

After some contemplation, Darren used the power of his force of control to expel the Shura Force from

the Shura's body.

This time, the Shura Force leaked to the outside world at a faster speed.

In the Flaming Hell in the deep sea

Yahya forcefully maintained the protective shield and searched around, but he couldn't find Darren's

avatar.

"Where the hell is he?" Yahya muttered. The Sea Spiritual King must have cheated me. Darren's avatar

must have died here!"

However, on second thought, he recalled that the Flaming Hell was a place of endless suffering, not

death.

Darren's avatar wouldn't die here, regardless of whether he was tortured or not.

Determined to find the avatar, Yahya continued his search. After a while, he noticed that he had

returned to his original starting place. And still, there was no sign of the avatar.

A smile grew on Yahya's face when he saw that the Sea Spiritual King was still suffering from infinite

pain. He deserved this agony for cheating him and tricking him into the Flaming Hell.

"Emperor… I... I..." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The Sea Spiritual King started stammering when he sensed Yahya's arrival.

"Do you mean you know the location of Darren's avatar?" He seemed to understand what the Sea

Spiritual King was trying to say.

"Yes." The agony in the Sea Spiritual King's voice sent a shudder through Yahya. He was indeed, in

infinite pain.

"Humph! Don't play tricks. Otherwise, I won't help you."

Yahya snorted. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Yahya to protect himself now. He couldn't

continue the protective shield after three days. If he were to extend the shield to the Sea Spiritual King,

he would only be able to maintain it for one and a half days.

"Help...there…there is a way out..."

the Sea Spiritual King said with difficulty.

Yahya hesitated as the Sea Spiritual King had tricked him before. However, he had no choice but to

trust him. Perhaps the Sea Spiritual King did know how to escape this hell.

"Well, I'll relieve you of your suffering for a while. But, if you lie to me, you will never get a moment of

relief."

Then, Yahya moved toward the Sea Spiritual King and covered him with the protective shield.

"Ahhh!"

At this moment, the suffering from the Flaming Hell receded. Now, only the soul torture remained.

Even so, he felt much better.

"Emperor Yahya, please stop the soul torture as well. I promise I will help you escape," the Sea

Spiritual King pleaded.

"This will be the last time that I will trust you." Yahya then urged his masters to remove the soul torture.

"Waah...Waah..."

The Sea Spiritual King sobbed as relief coursed through him. Now that he was free of both kinds of

torment, he felt as though this moment was the most relaxed and happy in his life.

"Tell me how to get out of here," Yahya demanded.

At this moment, the Sea Spiritual King was stunned and didn't know how to reply.

"Did you dare to lie to me again? Huh?" Yahya was outraged.

"Please calm down, Emperor Yahya!" The Sea Spiritual King cupped his hands and said, "I didn't lie to

you. I do know a way. But it's very risky as the human boy I allowed in controls the pass.

Although we will be affected by the storm of the hell, he won't. If we go over, I'm afraid that he will break

the protective shield, and we will be tortured again."

Yahya paid close attention to the Sea Spiritual King's actions and secretly asked a master to detect his

soul fluctuations to determine whether he was lying.

A soul that was more powerful than another could detect if someone was lying or not. Darren had used

this trick before.

"You are telling the truth. Now, you only need to take me to that place. I have a way to persuade him."

"Persuade him? I don't think it's a good idea. Even though the human isn't a holy emperor yet, he has

no emotions. It is almost as if he were made of metal. If you don't have something that will benefit him,

you can't make him listen to you," the Sea Spiritual King explained with furrowed brows.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will let you suffer more than before," Yahya threatened. He had run out

of patience by now.

"Please don't! I'll take you there."

Under such circumstances, the Sea Spiritual King had no other choice but to take Yahya to the pass.
