CHAPTER 1167 ASCETIC CULTIVATOR
Sheila was prepared. She had left a little sliver of her soul somewhere so that her soul could have a
chance to flee.
This was going to be troublesome. After she returned, she would report this to her father, which might
lead to war.
Just then, an intense pressure suddenly descended from the sky, and the sect leader found it difficult to
breathe.
A moment later, a shadow appeared in front of the sect leader.
This shadow was dressed in tight black clothes. The big, black bamboo hat on his head hid his face.
"Guard of the Ancestral Land!" The sect leader was shocked. He did not expect that the fight had
already alerted the guards in the Ancestral Land.
Each guard in the Ancestral Land was a very powerful being. Even if a master, who had reached the
Superior God Realm, broke the rules, they would dare to talk with the master, not to mention he was
only the leader of a small sect.
"Guard." The sect leader bowed to show his respect.
"You killed the subordinates of Fiend King Archer." The sect leader shuddered when he heard the
guard's cold and majestic voice.
"As they slaughtered the disciples of my sect, I had no choice but to defend my people. Please
investigate the matter," the sect leader explained.
"What you did is likely to cause a war. Did you even consider the consequences?" The sect leader
frowned. It seemed as though the guard was blaming him.
"Sir, the fiends broke into the human race's territory and wantonly slaughtered the disciples of my sect.
If we fought back, it was to protect ourselves. That shouldn't cause war as we didn't instigate the
battle." The sect leader patiently explained their actions to the guard.
"You're unreasonable." The sect leader's eyes widened with shock. How could the guard not see the
truth?
How could the guard accuse him of being unreasonable? The fiends came to kill his disciples. And they
fought back. How was their reaction unreasonable?
"I don't agree with you, sir. If the fiends rushed into the Ancestral Land and killed people, what would
you do? If you resisted by killing the fiends, you would also be guilty. Am I right?"
"Shut up!"
The guard roared and released an overbearing aura that crushed the sect leader's legs!
Agony coursed through the sect leader, and he fell to his knees.
"You!" The sect leader was furious, but the guard was too powerful for him to resist.
"You must be punished. Return to the Ancestral Land with me and take your punishment." With that,
the guard mobilized his god's power to take away the sect leader.
In the distant space, the fiends behind Darren had not given up the chase.
Fiend power appeared behind Darren and continually bombarded him.
Swish!
Darren released his blade and sword intents, dark gold god's power, and so on. Each time he launched
an attack, he was able to kill a few powerful fiends.
But there were too many fiends, and he couldn't kill them all.
"I can't flee. Elsa is still at the Cloud Forest Sect."
Darren was a little far from the Cloud Forest Sect. If he kept fleeing, what would Elsa do? At that
thought, he halted.
Seeing that the human in front of them had stopped, tens of thousands of fiends swarmed and
surrounded him. There were so many fiends that even a glimmer of light would be unable to penetrate
through.
"Roar! Howl!"
All kinds of loud sounds echoed in the space, making Darren's eardrums ache.
"Kill!"
Darren had no choice but to dart forward. As he did, he released majestic god's power from his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The powerful attacks launched by the tens of thousands of fiends completely suppressed Darren's
power.
This was to be expected as each of his opponents was comparable to the domain gods.
However, Darren wasn't the kind to simply surrender. He fought them bravely for a quarter of an hour
before he became powerless.
Bang!
Darren was knocked down, and he bled profusely from each of his several wounds.
However, the fiends didn't kill Darren as they had to catch him alive.
After mustering the last of his strength, Darren killed several fiends. Finally, he was so exhausted that
he fell.
He landed on a deserted mountain. The impact was so forceful that he made a hole on the top of the
mountain. And, he was embedded in it.
Pain spread through every inch of his body, and his vision blurred. He struggled to get up, only to find
that he had fallen into a cave inside the mountain.
Moreover, there seemed to be a dead person in front of the cave.
Before he could try to heal himself, roars saturated the air.
The fiends, who had been chasing Darren, madly attacked the peak of the mountain. In only a few
seconds, the mountain was swept away.
A fiend flew down and tried to catch Darren.
Bang!
However, his body exploded and turned into a blood mist in mid-air.
'What?' Darren didn't seem to feel any power fluctuations just now. So how did the fiend die?
"Fuck off." A calm voice reverberated in the space.
The fiends in the sky seemed to be in agony when they heard this voice.
Suddenly, a god's power rushed into Darren's veins and healed his injuries.
'Oh, it's him!'
Darren sensed that the dead man in the cave was the one who had roared and released his god's
power to heal him!
'How could he be alive?' Darren was stunned. When he saw the body a few moments ago, it was a
mummy without any aura of life, as if it had died over tens of thousands of years ago.
Before he could process what had happened, a figure in a black robe rose from the ruins ahead.
Darren glanced at the black-robed man's palm and saw that his bronze skin and muscles were
different. They appeared revitalized, not mummified like they were in the beginning.
"Get out of my sight now,"
the man in the black robe ordered as he glanced at the sky. Immediately, many fiends began to fall.
'He is powerful!'
Awe coursed through Darren when he witnessed the power of the man in the black robe.
'How strong is he? Has he reached the Star God Realm? Or the Celestial God Realm?'
Scared as they were, the fiends did not dare to leave as their princess had ordered them to capture
Darren.
"You deserve to die!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the fiends exploded in unison, and blood mist tainted the sky red.
"What?"
Darren was rendered speechless. This man was stronger than he first estimated.
The black-robed man had resolved the crisis, and Darren had not fought his attackers from the
beginning to the end.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir!" Darren immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Are you new here in the Primitive Wilderness?"
"Yes, sir," Darren replied.
"You are very weak. But few cultivators can reach your level after cultivating in the Ancestral Land for
ten years.
You should leave now. Find a cave and hide there. You can leave after you break through to the
Celestial God Realm," the man in the black robe instructed. holds text © rights.
Darren was stunned when he heard this. Why couldn't he go out before breaking through to the
Celestial God Realm? The frown on Darren's face showed that he was puzzled.
According to the information he received from the turtle shell, it was very difficult to reach the Celestial
God Realm, second only to the Superior God Realm!
"May I ask what realm you have reached, sir? And why do you cultivate here alone? And how are you
alive? I just sensed that you seemed to have passed away..." Darren's curiosity led him to voice his
doubts.
"There are countless ascetic cultivators like me in the Primitive Wilderness. You don't need to know
more."
"But it will take me at least hundreds of thousands of years to reach the Celestial God Realm, right?"
Hearing this, the ascetic cultivator's mouth twitched as if he were suppressing a grin.
"Hundreds of thousands of years? You are too naive. Very few outstanding human warriors would dare
to say that. It is rare for cultivators to reach the Celestial God Realm even if they cultivate for millions of
years."
Darren was so astounded that he couldn't bring himself to speak.
It would take millions of years to reach the Celestial God Realm! Why did the black-robed man ask him
to hide and cultivate for such a long time?
