CHAPTER 265 THE MASTER OF THE ANCIENT VOID BATTLEFIELD

The guard took note of Darren's bitter smile and said, "As for revenge, I think the same as you. It is

virtually impossible for us to get back at him. For many years, I have been trying to find someone who

was worthy of inheriting the skill and becoming the master. Don't get me wrong, revenge is possible. It

might take several more decades or even hundreds of years. But rest assured, that time will come.

After you inherit the skill, the righteous thing to do is to keep revenge in mind if you want to express

your gratitude to Grand Void Emperor. However, if you don't want to or don't have the ability to carry it

on, that's fine. No one will blame you."

Darren nodded his head once and said, "Sir, I have one more question. What inheritance has the

Grand Void Emperor left behind? There must be some treasures or something, right?"

"Well, the inheritance from the master is not the most shocking or the most precious treasure in the

world, but it's quite enough to be of benefit to you. Let me explain..."

Darren nodded in agreement and listened intently.

"Our master said that he wants you to become the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. He wants you

to take control of this little world. Numerous legendary martial skills and magic herbs had been buried

inside this little world. It is an enormous treasure for you. I'm sure you will greatly benefit from those

invaluable martial resources.

After I discussed it with Shadow Emperor, we came to the conclusion that when you become the

master of the Ancient Void Battlefield, it will stop you from getting hurt by the Heavenly Repression. If

your mingling power isn't strong enough, it will be able to protect you, at the very least."

"Is that true? According to what the Shadow Emperor said, the Heavenly Repression was evolved from

the rules from the outside world in the later generations. It came from some kind of repressive power

that emitted from both the earth and heaven. How would being the master of the Ancient Void

Battlefield be able to avoid its attack?" Darren's curiosity was piqued and he suddenly had a

heightened eagerness.

"Yes, the Heavenly Repression is a powerful rule that came from the outside world, but our master had

created the Ancient Void Battlefield a long time ago, during the Last Age, therefore the Ancient Void

Battlefield was not influenced by the rules of the later ages. It is perfectly natural that the new master of

the Ancient Void Battlefield is not restrained by the Heavenly Repression too. However, if the control of

this little world is handed over to you now, you won't be able to defend it if some extremely powerful

repressive force comes to attack. Your current cultivation stage still isn't good enough. I worry that your

life will be put in danger and even the Ancient Void Battlefield will be destroyed.

"I see. I would be willing to accept Grand Void Emperor's offer along with all the consequences, good

or bad. Please tell me more." Darren wanted to know all the detailed information about the offer before

he completely accepted it.

"That's great. We'll have to go and meet the soul of the master. You'll become the new master of the

Ancient Void Battlefield if you're able to defeat him." A relieved smile spread over the guardian's face.

He then slightly raised his hands and sent Darren into the thirteenth round.

As soon as Darren entered the thirteenth space, he immediately found that Finley was here too. He

was floating in the air, sitting on the opposite side of the Shadow Emperor. A different kind of glow was

emitting from their bodies. It seemed like they were practicing some kind of martial skill.

After a while, the Shadow Emperor's body began to fade, going straight into Finley's head.

"Darren! Hurry up and kill me now!" Finley shouted. Finley's voice somehow sounded strange to

Darren. It was like a little boy's voice.

"What?" Darren's brows were pulled together in a scowl.

"Darren, they are weak right now! You should take action immediately!" The old guardian immediately

understood what Finley was doing, so he urged Darren and gave him the proverbial push.

A light bulb suddenly clicked inside Darren's brain. Without hesitation, he went straight to Finley and

penetrated his chest, moving so fast that his figure appeared like a ray of light.

"Ah, shit." Finley curled his lips into a frown. A few moments later, he burst into pieces as Darren's

blade and sword intents struck him.

Darren heard a strange banging sound in his head.

It felt as if something had entered inside his body.

Whoosh.

Darren opened his eyes and they shone in silver.

Numerous complicated ancient rules flashed in front of him.

The rules then flew towards him and quickly merged with his body.

The next moment, a broad view of the Ancient Void Battlefield appeared in front of him. He was able to

see every inch of the ground and every grain of sand inside the Ancient Void Battlefield. He was left in

awe by the sight.

The whole little world was under Darren's control.

Darren felt lightheaded from the excitement and awe.

He opened his eyes and they shone like the stars. With a slight wave of his hands, Finley appeared in

front of him.

"Congratulations, Darren. You have now become the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield." Finley

wore a faint smile on his face. Darren noticed that Finley was a little different from before; he could

sense the aura of the Shadow Emperor emitting from his body.

"Did the Shadow Emperor go inside your body?" Darren guessed.

Finley gave him a smile and chuckled. "Yes. The Shadow Emperor was afraid to die, so he begged to

merge with me. Since I am a spiritual intent and he is a soul, when we use the arcane skill and

combine our bodies together, we could exist in this little world like normal people."

"So, my guess is correct. The Shadow Emperor used the arcane skill. But that's good. Mr. Feng, if you

are in the Ancient Void Battlefield, you can help with a lot of problems," the guardian calmly said to

Finley.

"Mr. Feng? You mean this jackass?" Darren turned to look at Finley with complete disdain.

"That's right. You should know that people in the outside world regard him as a great master. He is

competent enough to help you. And what's more is that he has merged with the Shadow Emperor. Like

he said, he is no longer just a spiritual intent, he really exists in this world now," the guardian explained.

Darren nodded his head, considering the guardian's words. Although Finley acted like a jackass

sometimes, he was still a worthy superior talent. It might be a good idea to be friends with him.

"Darren, from now on, I will protect you. If someone offends you, you bring him to me and I will take

care of him for you!" Finley promised, voice firm and full of steadfastness.

"Just don't offend any three-star grand warrior. After the Shadow Emperor and I merged together, only

my strength remained with us. If you bring a three-star grand warrior to me, I will certainly get beaten.

Do you understand, kiddo?" Finley added, talking to Darren as if he was some mischievous little boy.

"Kiddo? You are so unbelievable! Get over yourself! " Darren glared at him and immediately used his

spiritual sense. "Fixing," he muttered under his breath.

"Shit. I forgot that you are now the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. Since we are all friends, you

don't have to punish me, right?" Finley grinned nervously then immediately dropped down onto the

ground, holding Darren's leg.

The guardian and Darren looked at each other in silence then burst into fits of laughter.

"You are a wonder." Darren shook his head, smiling. He thought that Finley was such a lively guy, and it

would be nice to have him as company.

"Well, Darren... You can control everything in the Ancient Void Battlefield since you are now the master.

But there is one thing that you should keep in mind: You should never give the legendary martial skill to

your friends or relatives. The legendary martial skill will be repelled by the systems of the outside world.

If they force themselves to practice those skills, it will inflict great damage to their bodies. Even yourself

—you are only allowed to practice the skill inside the Ancient Void Battlefield. As for those that contain

spiritual energy—the magic herbs, the magic spring water, and so on—you can take whatever you like.

They are not affected by the rules.

That's all I needed to tell you. I've accomplished my task. It's time for me to take a rest. From now on,

the Ancient Void Battlefield is under your control. You should remember that it would be dangerous to

offend powerful masters. Your current strength isn't good enough, so if they come to attack the Ancient

Void Battlefield, it will be hard for you to protect this little world and you will probably die in the battle."

The guardian went silent for a second and continued, "If you want to open the Ancient Void Battlefield,

the process will require an enormous amount of power. According to my calculations, it would be best if

you only open it once a month. Also, you should be cautious when you're in the outside world.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Whenever you're in real danger, you can enter the Ancient Void Battlefield. It will be able to shelter you

from any harm..."

"All right, all right! We get it, old man. Stop blabbering and just leave already. If there's anything else

that Darren needs to know, I will tell him." Since Finley and the Shadow Emperor had merged together,

they were probably more proficient at aiding Darren than the guardian.

"Finley..." The guardian gave Finley an annoyed smile, almost a grimace.

"What?" Finley nonchalantly raised his brows in response.

"You're such a..." The guardian then started to gradually fade away. "Jerk!" he continued. His voice

echoed throughout the battlefield as he disappeared.

"What the hell?" Finley was speechless.
