CHAPTER 1065 CRISIS STAR

"What's inside the stone tablet?

What did you see? Tell me," Darren urged.

"It's hell in there. I saw a bronze coffin floating inside," Finley answered under his breath. This was

what he saw.

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Darren looked thoughtful for a while. His attention was piqued by the mention of a bronze coffin.

"I think I understand."

He reckoned that there was a connection between the World Essence and the bronze coffin.

Many years ago, he had entered a mysterious bronze coffin. Later on, Chandler had told him that the

bronze coffin was actually the Upper Spiritual World.

This must mean that the World Essence was in the Upper Spiritual World.

Relief came over to Darren upon this realization. The location of this bronze coffin must be very hard to

find even for the immortal.

There was only one person left who should know about its location. It was the witcher ancestor.

After all, it was the witcher ancestor and Hiram the Great who had divided the Lothlann Continent into

three worlds.

"Finley, go back to the Ancient Void Battlefield. Make sure that the Inner Fiend remains suppressed."

"Okay. Just call me if you need any help."

With that, Finley returned to the Ancient Void Battlefield while Darren flew off.

Upon reaching the River of Forgetfulness, he immediately sent out a message to the witcher ancestor.

"Sir, the secret of the stone tablet has been revealed."

"Really?" The witcher ancestor then appeared in front of Darren.

"It was one of my friends who had discovered the secret. It couldn't be broken by force, but the Spirit

Power could seep through it," Darren explained briefly.

"So that's how it is."

The witcher ancestor's withered face twitched. He tried getting his hands on the stone tablet's secret

many times before. Each time, he failed. Even when he was at his peak, he acquired some injuries

over time.

"The simpler the object is, the more confusing it is," the witcher ancestor sighed in resignation.

"That's right. The stronger you get, the more dependent you become on it." Darren offered him a smile.

"Never mind. Let's just move on. So, where is the World Essence?" the witcher ancestor asked.

"Strangely enough, my friend saw a bronze coffin floating in lava. I think the World Essence is inside

that coffin," Darren replied.

"What?"

This seemed to excite the witcher ancestor.

He laughed dryly a few moments later.

"Hiram, you really are smart." The witcher ancestor sounded fond.

"Sir, I noticed that even you don't seem to know that the World Essence is inside the bronze coffin.

Could it be that Hiram the Great was the only one who divided the Lothlann Continent?" Darren asked. holds text © rights.

He seemed puzzled by this.

"That bronze coffin is a divine weapon that Hiram found. Back then, I divided the Lothlann Continent

into three parts, and the part with the most spiritual energy was put into his divine weapon. But I didn't

expect that it's where he hid the World Essence.

But I bet he didn't even know this secret himself." The witcher ancestor frowned.

"What? He didn't know anything about this?" Darren was surprised to hear this.

"Well, to keep this secret safe, Hiram had erased all his memories concerning the World Essence."

"I see."

Darren nodded. Such thing wasn't unusual among warriors who had treasures to hide. They often left

clues to remind themselves of the treasure in the future. It seemed like the stone tablet was Hiram's

clue.

"But where is the bronze coffin hidden?" Darren asked.

The witcher ancestor kept silent for a while and said, "The location of the bronze coffin changes every

year. It may be underground or deep into the void."

"That's good." Darren nodded.

"Yes, even if the immortal knows that the World Essence is in the bronze coffin, it's still difficult for her

to find the location of the bronze coffin. This gives you an edge in getting the World Essence first.

Darren, I'll give you a secret array. This method can help you track down the bronze coffin so you'll

have better chances of finding it. Once you locate the coffin, activate the fiendish aura, and you will be

automatically sucked inside the coffin. Otherwise, you won't get through its restrictions," the witcher

ancestor said.

"Why will I be sucked into it if I release the fiendish aura?"

Darren remembered that when he entered the bronze coffin for the first time, he did release his fiendish

aura.

"This coffin inherited the will of Hiram. It can suppress the fiend, but you are only human. It can only

suck you in, so you won't be killed," the witcher ancestor explained.

"I understand." Darren nodded.

"If the World Essence is really inside the bronze coffin, you must transfer it somewhere else as soon as

possible. Then, I hope you can inherit this divine weapon. It'll be your only chance to suppress the first

fiend ancestor.

In the past, countless of people sacrificed their souls so that Hiram could reach the Super Emperor

Realm. With my help and the bronze coffin, he was able to suppress the first fiend ancestor. So even if

you become a holy emperor, you can't defeat that fiend without the help of the bronze coffin," the

witcher ancestor cautioned.

"Is the fiend that strong?" Darren asked with a frown.

"Indeed he is. If he reaches his peak, he'll become a fiend god! By then, he won't be suppressed by

any law. Even the immortal will be no match for him. Especially now that her soul's damaged, she won't

be able to exert her true strength. At this point, she's only at the primary stage of the Super Emperor

Realm."

Darren looked forward to facing such powerful opponent. In fact, he could feel excitement coursing

through his veins upon hearing this.

He recalled the mysterious man who threatened to kill him. His strength was unfathomable. Even the

immortal was afraid of him! This just confirmed the words of the mysterious man at that time. "When

you reach the Super Emperor Realm, I will kill you!"

When he came back to his senses, Darren bowed to the witcher ancestor and said, "Sir, please pass

me the secret array. I will make sure to inherit the bronze coffin if there's ever a chance."

"Well, if you have the bronze coffin, you will have more chances of passing through the Godly City. It's

only by reaching the peak of a holy emperor that you can compete with the top figures of the world."

These words confused Darren. "Shouldn't I be focusing on suppressing the first fiend ancestor? Why

are you talking about me fighting the top figures in the world?"

At that moment, the witcher ancestor's expression changed. He seemed to have slipped something he

shouldn't have said.

"Well, I've mentioned this before. The first fiend ancestor isn't the only one who covets the World

Essence. You'll find this out soon. I just hope that you'll be ready by then."

Then he turned around and looked at the sky.

"Darren, look at that bright star over there." He pointed his finger to the void.

Darren's eyes followed the direction of the witcher's finger and saw the star.

"It doesn't look special," Darren said honestly.

"Look carefully. Use your soul to observe," the witcher ancestor urged.

Darren looked at the star again. This time, he used his soul power. Doing so had made the star burn

brighter. It was as if it could overshadow everything even the sun.

"Oh my God! What kind of star is that?" Darren quickly withdrew his soul power.

"That's the Crisis Star. There are four more stars like it. When all five of them are shining, you'll know

that the time has come." With that, his figure slowly began to fade.

"This one plus four other stars in the darkness? So that's five of them." The warning reverberated

inside Darren's head. It terrified him.
