CHAPTER 1059 A BATTLE BETWEEN BARNES AND THE HOLY EMPEROR
The handsome young man who stepped out of the space crack appeared cold, and his eyes were as
deep as the void.
Darren's gaze swept over the young man, who was dressed in a blue robe. Two flags of different colors
were inserted on his left and right shoulders.
Behind him, a thirty feet long silver-blue cloak fluttered with the wind. It made his divine aura appear
more dignified and aggressive.
The four blue-skinned old men sneered as they called the holy emperor. They believed that these three
half-step emperors would surely die at the hands of the holy emperor.
"Listen to our orders. You must protect us with your power. And you have to kill these three creatures.
Move now!" The four old men used an arcane controlling skill in unison to order this resurrected
emperor.
"Yes!"
the holy emperor answered coldly. He didn't dare to resist as his soul was obedient to the orders of the
four old men.
"Master, this guy is very powerful." The holy emperor's aura intimidated the Water Kylin.
"A cultivator at the Emperor Realm is indeed, powerful. But he has been dead for so many years. As he
is not at his peak, we can fight him."
Darren roughly appraised the strength of this resurrected holy emperor. He used to be a very powerful
cultivator, at least at the higher level of the Emperor Realm. But, as much time had passed, Darren
estimated that his strength had fallen to, at best, a primary level holy emperor.
"Step back. I will fight him first!"
When Barnes saw such a strong cultivator, the darkness in his eyes deepened, and fighting spirit filled
him.
"Okay, okay, you go first." The Water Kylin was thrilled. As the resurrected holy emperor intimated him,
he was in no hurry to confront him. With Barnes volunteering to battle the emperor, he could stand back
and not get involved.
Darren did not comment on Barnes's offer as he wanted to observe the strength of both sides.
"Sizz!"
Barnes jumped forward and bared his lips. His sharp fangs glimmered in the weak light.
"I slaughtered guys like you millions of years ago. Today, I will show you what power means!"
With a roar, Barnes raised his golden stick and swept it toward the man.
The entire heaven and earth shook as golden light rushed toward the sky, and the void tumbled like a
wave, moving with frightening intensity. The sound emitted was appalling.
Blue light erupted from the holy emperor's body as he raised his white palm and flipped it forward.
Clang!
The sound of one hundred thousand consecutive collisions rang out in unison, curling the air currents
and shattering the space into a state of primitive nothingness.
"One palm against a hundred thousand strikes. This guy is really mighty."
Mixed feelings stirred at the bottom of the Water Kylin's heart as he witnessed the battle between
Barnes and the holy emperor. A shudder coursed through him when he tried to imagine the
consequences of being hit by the palm. He would definitely be smashed to pieces.
"His cultivation method is indeed powerful." Darren was pensive as he watched the fight. The power of
this palm was only a little weaker than that of the outer space martial arts skills. It was the top
cultivation method of the Lothlann Continent and could not be understood easily unless you were at the
peak of the Genuine Domain Degree talent.
After a hundred thousand collisions, the inverse power almost shattered Barnes' arm. Overwhelmed by
fury, he pulled away, and dark aura erupted from him.
"Total Annihilation!"
Boom!
Countless golden stick shadows rained down like unrelenting torrents and enveloped the whole area
where the holy emperor stood.
"What? How is it possible?"
The intense force released from Barnes' attack almost crushed the four old blue-skinned men. Despite
the holy emperor's protection, they fell to the ground and spat out blood that had pooled in their
mouths.
Had it not been for the holy emperor's defense, they would have turned to dust!
As soon as the pressure lifted a little, the four old men used an arcane skill and fled tens of thousands
of kilometers away. They now knew that the power of the holy emperor could not protect them as they
had hoped.
"Oh, my God! How did Barnes become so powerful?"
"He might have regained his strength. It is more terrifying than I imagined. I wonder whether our
resurrected holy emperor can stop him or not."
"Of course, he will be defeated! How could he be stronger than a holy emperor? He is not a legend
anymore!"
"Let's wait and see."
The four old men discussed amongst themselves as they watched the fight from afar.
Now that he had witnessed the Total Annihilation skill of Barnes, the holy emperor was not as calm as
before.
A dark blue flag appeared in his hand as he withdrew his palm. Then, with a wave of his hand, he
unleashed a terrifying force.
Clang!
There were probably over a million collisions this time. The interminable consecutive sound waves
were even more terrifying than before. The Water Kylin closed his eyes and shook his head as he tried
to ward off the pain.
Darren, on the other hand, was not as severely affected. He had secretly used the blade and sword holds text © rights.
intents to disperse the impact of the force. He removed it equally stealthily when the attack ended.
Whoosh!
Once Barnes' Total Annihilation skill concluded, the holy emperor's figure flashed and appeared in front
of Barnes.
A split second later, he unleashed one hundred thousand consecutive palm attacks. But, Barnes raised
his stick and swept them away. It finished so quickly that none of the bystanders could process what
had happened.
"Why is this damn monkey so powerful?"
The Water Kylin was shocked when he saw that Barnes had withstood the holy emperor's barrage of
attacks. He now had a new understanding of Barnes.
In the past, he believed that Barnes' strength could be compared with a primary level holy emperor's
physical strength. Now, he could see that Barnes had the same strength as a real one!
'It can't be!' the Water Kylin thought with a shake of his head. Previously, Barnes' strength was on par
with the Inner Fiend. However, after watching this fight, the Water Kylin was convinced that the strength
he demonstrated was greater than the Inner Fiend's.
Darren frowned but remained silent.
An hour later, Barnes and the holy emperor had destroyed this place.
"Die!"
At this time, the holy emperor's aura surged manifold when he pulled out another flag from behind him.
The aura was so strong that it seemed as though it could penetrate anything.
"Well, this is a little similar to my Void Penetration skill." Darren was surprised. He had underestimated
this holy emperor's skills.
"Annihilate!" Barnes roared.
The golden stick in his hand grew to hundreds of thousands of feet in length, and its end was
thousands of kilometers in diameter. As soon as it stopped growing, it began rolling toward its target at
supernatural speed.
Bang!
This time, as they collided, countless golden fragments appeared in the air. To everyone's
astonishment, there was even a hint of blue ripples.
"Watch out!"
Darren, without any warning, rushed to the Water Kylin and released his blade and sword intents. The
combined force swept outwards and crushed the falling golden fragments and dispelled the blue
ripples.
"God!" The Water Kylin was speechless. Had Darren not stopped the falling power, he would have
been severely injured.
"Damn it! What the hell? I'm going to somewhere safe!" The Water Kylin's eyes darkened as he spoke.
He didn't have the strength to withstand the aftermath of their attacks from this short distance. "Alas!
Strength!"
Darren shook his head. Unable to peel his eyes from the raging battle, he ignored the Water Kylin's
words and turned to watch.
Crack!
After the golden fragments dispersed, Darren spotted many spider net-like cracks appear on Barnes'
stick.
"His weapon is about to explode. If that happens, he is sure to lose the battle," Darren murmured with a
pensive frown.
Barnes stood in the void surrounded by a dark aura. It was so unprecedentedly strong that it turned this
world dark as well.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a moment of silence, the golden stick in Barnes' hand began to shatter.
However, only the external golden shell had been destroyed. As soon as the glittering particles faded,
the dark inside engraved with ancient runes was exposed.
"Finally!"
Barnes raised his head and roared at the sky. His open mouth resembled a deep black hole.
"It is finally out!" he grinned, but his voice trembled as though he were crying.
