CHAPTER 1050 THE SHURA HELPING DARREN
At this point, Darren had no time to think anymore.
He immediately assimilated a drop of spiritual energy liquid. His cultivation base soared upon making a
breakthrough.
A strong storm rose from within the Killing Abyss. Darren watched silently in his vigil. The forces of
heave and earth poured into him all of a sudden.
He had now reached the realm of a half-step emperor.
Now that his cultivation level had improved, he could feel his blade and sword intents going manic with
so much power.
An explosion disrupted the whole area.
Thick, dark clouds hovered over the Killing Abyss, while black lightning danced in and out of it.
The sky threatened to collapse under such high pressure.
This was the thunder punishment of Heavenly Repression triggered by a half-step emperor. The sight
alone was terrifying!
The force of such thunder punishment was even more powerful than anyone in the Lothlann Continent
had seen. This display of strength only matched that that during the ancient times.
No one with Conflicting Cultivation had ever reached the half-step emperor level!
A howl rang through the air.
The first fiend ancestor had already sensed the change in the air. Dread tickled down his spine and he
looked slightly alarmed by all these.
He knew he wouldn't be able to withstand the thunder punishment.
The blade and sword intents grew wildly as they fused together under the effect of blade and sword
cores. The thunder punishment burst as soon as the first trace of unsuppressed dark gold internal force
was generated.
A small bolt of lightning struck down.
Fortunately, the Killing Abyss blocked it from hitting Darren.
More thunder and lightning rained down upon them as the dark gold internal force grew.
The force resulted in a series of explosions.
The barrage of lightning intensified, breaking the Killing Abyss into pieces. Everything else seemed
chaotic.
Upon seeing his skill destroyed, the first fiend ancestor began hatching plans to escape. Before he fled,
however, he realized that the thunder punishment wasn't coming from the human being. On the
contrary, it was targeting the human.
So the first fiend ancestor decided against his initial decision and stayed.
The air cackled menacingly.
A massive thunderstorm began to come down.
Another loud bang exploded.
Darren raised his head. The expression on his face was so cold it could freeze ice itself. The dark gold
internal force inside his body swept towards the thunder, wrestling it to submission.
Hanson had used such a method before.
Darren's force collided with the thunder punishment. In the blink of an eye, both forces disappeared.
One thunder had consumed all of Darren's dark gold internal force. The result made Darren question
himself and his ability to resist the rest of the thunder punishment.
It seemed like death was the only ending for this battle.
"Come on!"
Darren howled. His purple robe fluttered in the air as he stood tall and proud.
More explosions rang through the air.
Dozens of thunderbolts descended, making the ground beneath them tremble.
"Come on. We are going to die anyway."
The four greatest holy warriors could feel the blood drain off their face, turning them paler under the
pressure of the thunder punishment. They had little hope that Darren could survive the attack, but they
still tried their best to help him even though they were on the verge of dying.
"Darren, we'll go first."
Together, they combined all their strength into the array. All of their shadows were outlined with pale
golden light.
The four shot into the void, directly towards the thunder punishment.
"Sir!"
Darren couldn't help but be moved by their willingness to sacrifice their lives for him. He knew that if he
didn't activate the thunder punishment, they would all die. He couldn't help but think that perhaps it was
better this way.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A bloody mist dispersed in the air while a pale golden light illuminated the sky.
The four holy warriors had been blasted by the impact as they tried blocking the thunder punishment.
This gave enough time for Darren to unleash the dark gold internal force towards the thunder
punishment.
A few weak thunderbolts rained down on him, but these were enough to cause some serious injuries.
It was way too powerful to fight against.
More thunder rumbled angrily in the sky.
It formed a dark, raging sea among the clouds.
With such intensity, Darren suspected that this thunder punishment could eradicate the entire eighteen
cities including the desolate lands.
From a distance, a roar echoed in the air.
The harsh sound crashed into Darren's ears. It was from the first fiend ancestor.
It seemed like even he couldn't escape.
His Eternal Body could still be blasted apart, and it would take him about a hundred thousand years to
recover.
Such results were unacceptable to the fiend. The other six parts of his body would be freed soon, and
once he fused his eight body parts together and regained his true power, he would be an unstoppable
force in this world.
He would destroy the Lothlann Continent first before going back to the Primitive Wilderness. Going
back to his homeland had always been his dream, engraved deeply in his heart since the day he fell
into this world.
A moment longer and he couldn't bear to wait. He was so close to achieving that dream. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Argh!"
Just then, another terrifying roar came. The ground trembled beneath their feet, and cracks broke
through its surface.
In the distance, a red figure stood, his black hair floating behind him like a dark fog.
"Shura!"
Darren and the first fiend ancestor looked into the distance at the same time.
"Is he here?"
Darren found himself wondering if the Shura was really there to help him out at this critical moment.
After all, he hadn't heard from him since he left the tomb.
The Shura Contract between them only said that the Shura wasn't allowed to kill Darren, but it didn't
say anything about saving him from danger.
A flash of complicated emotions passed through the first fiend ancestor's eyes at the sight of the Shura.
"Why? Why is there a Shura?"
The turn of events was confusing the fiend greatly.
"Weren't the Shuras wiped out by the first Reincarnation Master?" the first fiend ancestor murmured in
a unique language.
In the midst of his thoughts, another deep rumble shuddered in the sky.
The sea-like thunder punishment was finally about to land, but the red figure flew up to greet it.
Electricity zapped through the air.
Countless black lightning writhed around him, wrapping themselves around him like snakes.
At first, everything was at stalemate, but soon, a sea of blood burst forth to battle out the thunder.
The sky was torn into two. One half was full of black lightning, while the other was a deep red sea of
blood. Everyone from the ground watched in horror and awe as the two factions battled each other.
Roars reverberated through the air.
A myriad of blood red spears arranged themselves and thrust towards the depths of the sky.
Blood spurted everywhere, while the black lightning dissipated.
The Shura stood, regal and invincible, between heaven and earth.
"Argh!"
Eventually, everything settled down. The black lightning was gone, so was the sea of blood.
With that, the Shura's body quickly fell down, slamming unto the surface of the earth.
Darren watched in surprised and concern.
The Shura had indeed come to help him overcome the thunder punishment. Even with the strength of
the Shura, the thunder punishment had almost killed him. This just showed how terrifying it really was.
"Can he still resist a second wave?"
Darren looked up at the sky. His anxiety was spiking up upon seeing that the tribulation clouds had not
yet dispersed. At any time now, a new batch of thunder and lightning would descend upon them.
A few seconds later, the Shura's scorched body shot up from the ground.
His entire body was trembling from the strain.
The scene made Darren feel like he was falling into an abyss. Deep down, he just knew that the Shura
wouldn't be able to withstand the next barrage of thunder punishment.
A black spear shaped like lightning fell down from the thick, dark clouds.
It flew at such a slow pace.
But the strength behind it was unmatched. It was a thousand times stronger than the earlier thunder
and lightning.
