CHAPTER 1045 HE'S COMING

They concluded that Darren couldn't possibly have the talent of Spiritual Domain Degree.

"Can't you see anything useful in it?" Francis asked, a bit disappointed.

Darren's mouth twitched. He gave a subtle smirk as he said, "Although it is indeed a cultivation method

from the outer space, it's missing a lot of parts. How could I possibly see anything in it? This is too little

information for me to understand. Even a god wouldn't be able to comprehend this."

When the others heard this, their doubtful expressions lightened. It seemed Darren knew what he was

talking about, after all. He knew that this was a cultivation method from outer space, proving his good

judgment.

"What about this section?" said Francis.

With a wave of his hand, another cultivation method text appeared in front of Darren.

"What?" Darren's eyes lit up. "Hey, now we've got something good. Although it's only one move, it's at

least complete. Its grade however, is not that high."

Darren found that it was also a cultivation method from the outer space. However, compared with the

nine cultivation methods he had obtained in the Spiritual Nether Cave, this cultivation method was quite

ordinary.

Darren closed his eyes and started to swiftly practice this skill in his mind. With his talent, it would only

be a matter of seconds before he fully comprehended it.

"Sir, take this!"

Darren abruptly lunged a palm at Francis.

The blow was so intense with power that Francis was stunned.

Getting back to his senses, Francis quickly punched his fist against Darren in retaliation.

With a loud bang, the violent blast of the collision swept over some of the Governors. Francis' body

was thrown back from the huge impact, and he crashed into a wall as he landed.

It was quite a sight to see, considering both sides used only their physical strength. Had they used their

true powers, they would have destroyed their immediate surroundings—or perhaps the entire space as

well!

"Francis..." Eden murmured, unsure of what to make of the situation.

"Good! Good! Very good!" Francis stood up, eyes full of excitement. He was mightily impressed by

Darren's show of power.

"What an extraordinary genius! Your move just now shocked me down to my soul. You've truly

comprehended that move from outer space. It seems that your talent really has surpassed the Genuine

Domain Degree."

Francis' words were a shocker to everyone present. This was something they couldn't imagine was

possible. Darren's strength and talent filled them with hope. The other Governors began to speak up in

support.

"It's true! Darren is so talented!"

"We are lucky to be graced by the presence of such a rare genius!"

"That palm attack was enough to kill me! He could understand such a powerful and complex move in

only a few seconds. Darren's talent is really unparalleled!"

The other Governors looked at Darren with a sense of admiration.

Francis came over to Darren and gave him an assuring pat on the shoulder.

"Darren, you possess a powerful avatar, and we were fools to doubt your talent. The human race truly

has a bright future if we have you as its backbone and protector. Now, I'm handing you the method of

the Heavenly Exterminating Array. It's all up to you whether you can find any loopholes in it or not."

"Don't worry. I'll definitely do my best." Darren nodded.

A sudden rush of memories came to Darren as hundreds of thousands of patterns appeared in his

mind. His mind was comprehending at a quick speed.

"Well, Darren, you'll need some time to digest everything I just passed on to you. We'll leave you to owns this.

your own devices and serve as lookouts for the enemy, just in case the fiends decide to attack," stated

Francis. He wanted to give Darren the proper time to focus and prepared to head out.

"Yes, I'll do my best here on my own," assured Darren.

They'd finally found hope in the situation thanks to Darren's extraordinary capabilities. At this point,

nobody even considered their original plan to enter the Eternal Forbidden Domain anymore.

Just as they had all set out to leave, a Governor suddenly ran up to Darren.

Then, a loud thud rang through the conference room. The other Governors all looked towards the

source.

The Governor that had come up to Darren knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Darren looked at him, confused.

"Darren, I must confess to you. My two sons have done terrible things and died at your hands. I

apologize on behalf of all the people who were hurt by those two beasts. I just hope that their evil

behavior won't affect your opinion about me."

It became apparent that the man who spoke was Anderson, the Governor of the Blue Cloud City.

"Come, stand up. I've killed them, so there is no more need to apologize. My opinion of you will only be

based on the actions you take yourself. Your sons' actions are separate from that. In short, I won't need

to punish you if you've done no wrong," Darren said calmly, as he gestured for the Governor to stand.

"Thank you, Darren. What everyone says is true! You are a righteous man."

Anderson stood up slowly as tears rolled down his cheeks. His feeble and crying figure really brought

out his old age.

Suddenly a quick whistle zipped through the hall.

A dark arrow was headed straight at Darren's head.

The arrow was so powerful that it cut through everything in its path on the way to Darren.

"Stop! What are you doing?" shouted Francis, as he was the first to notice the arrow. Despite this, the

arrow's speed was too quick for him to deflect in. Moreover, even if he had met the arrow in time, its

power would've been too much for him to resist.

Darren's proximity to Anderson had everyone thinking this was his end. It was obvious it was a ploy.

Understanding the situation, Darren simply huffed. He didn't give a damn. In fact, from the moment

when Anderson stood up, Darren had already sensed the arrow being shot at him with his strong

spiritual sense.

Another whistle of wind was heard with a momentary shine of a sword.

A wisp of sword intent came out, with an aura strong enough for the Governors to gawk at in awe.

"That sword intent's power is nearly impossible!"

"Look! He blocked it perfectly!"

The strong arrow was completely cut off by Darren's sword intent, with a simple flick of the wrist.

"I believe my eyes may be deceiving me! If I saw that correctly, that arrow was an arrow from the outer

space, found within a relic. It definitely contains the law force. Darren actually broke such a thing?"

"Darren's talent is definitely out of this world. His strength is stronger than we ever imagined too!"

The Governors couldn't stop chattering in their sheer admiration for Darren's abilities.

Another loud bang sounded throughout the room. The Governors were all shocked.

After the arrow was cut off, the sword intent weakened but it didn't dissipate. It went straight for

Anderson's head, and smashed it with a satisfying crunch.

Anderson hadn't anticipated that Darren was not just talented, but also very strong.

'Is he a holy emperor?' That was the only idea he had time to think right before he died. He had

severely underestimated Darren at that moment.

Witnessing this scene, the four greatest holy warriors had mixed feelings. They had lost a Governor,

but they were also excited. There was finally a human being who had the potential to become a holy

emperor!

"Good move, Darren! Great job killing that scumbag!"

"That's right. That old bastard had gone too far. He deserved that."

While surprised, the Governors began to cheer for Darren.

"Well, I'm going to comprehend the array. I'll be on my way now."

"Goodbye!" The crowd cupped their hands and bowed to Darren in respect as he flew off.

Meanwhile, at the outskirts of the eighteen cities, a dozen guards were gathered to patrol the areas.

They were preparing to defend against a possible fiend attack.

Suddenly, the space rumbled violently, surprising all the guards on duty.

"Be careful, everyone! It seems that something is coming."

Everyone tried to use their spiritual sense to see what was going on.

Unbeknownst to them, a black smoke was quietly rising from their feet. A malevolent force was at work.

Suddenly, a pained scream ripped through the space.

A man then exploded into a mist of blood. The crowd of guards quickly looked behind themselves.

There appeared a creature with blood-red scales in front of all of them. What they feared the most had

just appeared.

"Ah, it's the first fiend ancestor! He's coming! He's really coming!"

Someone was trying to run away as he screamed, but suddenly fell to the ground, dead.

The rest of the guards were dumbfounded and froze out of fright.

"Die," bellowed the first fiend ancestor.

With the single utterance of that word, all the guards—all half-step emperors—exploded into crimson

mists.
