CHAPTER 266 BEING SHADOWED BY SOMEONE

As the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren tried to detect the breath of the old guardian of the

Ancient Void Battlefield, but he failed.

"Farewell, sir." Darren's voice was flat. He allowed the guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield to leave.

A moment later, Darren turned and strode to the eleventh space.

"Darren, please get some magic herbs for me to cultivate. Perhaps I can leave this place for a walk

after entering the Holy Realm. That will be pretty cool." Finley spoke as he followed Darren.

"Do it yourself," Darren answered, coldly. He was in no mood to cater to Finley's request.

"I can't. I can only enter the twelfth and the thirteenth spaces. Get me some magic herbs, please. I am

in urgent need of these herbs," Finley implored.

Darren glanced at Finley. Then he activated his spiritual sense and Finley disappeared from the twelfth

space.

"Don't use too much. I will kill you if you use all my magic herbs." Darren's voice was heard from above

in the second space.

"Please don't worry. I will be careful." On hearing what Darren had said, a grin appeared on Finley's

face as he looked up at the sky in the second space.

Darren ignored Finley and continued to enter the eleventh space.

"Denise, I am the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield, now." Denise's figure flew to Darren as soon

as he entered the eleventh space.

"You made it! You really made it," Denise said. She was so overwhelmed with excitement that tears

welled up in her eyes.

"You are free now." Darren smiled as he released his spiritual sense. As promised, Denise was not

confined to the eleventh space anymore.

"It's a pity that I can't take you out of the Ancient Void Battlefield. Although this is not true freedom, it is

the best that I can do," Darren explained to Denise. He was somewhat disappointed with the limitations

he faced.

Since Denise was just a wisp of a soul, she would vanish if she left the Ancient Void Battlefield.

"This is enough. At least I have them to keep me company," she giggled. Denise had never been so

happy. She drifted with the wind and landed beside a beautiful lake. As she spoke with Darren, curious

little animals gathered around her. Happiness reflected in her expression when Denise found a place

with blooming flowers.

Darren didn't follow her. "I am leaving for a little while. I will see you later," his voice reached her ears.

"Go ahead. But please, remember to bring me more furry little creatures," she chuckled. Denise

laughed as she played with a pure white bunny.

"Okay," Darren replied as he smiled. Then, he flew to the place where he had entered at the beginning.

As he stepped forward, his figure disappeared from the Ancient Void Battlefield.

After leaving the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren channeled his spiritual sense. The whole Ancient Void

Battlefield turned into a grain of sand and suspended in his elixir field.

...

In the Grand Void Manor, an old man who was in a forbidden area looked in the direction of the Ancient

Void Battlefield and muttered, "I need to go since the Ancient Void Battlefield has its new master."

The Grand Void Emperor had left two wisps of his soul when he died. The first one formed the Shadow

Emperor in the Ancient Void Battlefield, while the second one combined with a human via an arcane

skill over a hundred thousand years ago to create the old man. He could live outside the Ancient Void

Battlefield, but he couldn't step out of range of the Grand Void Manor.

His purpose was to seek superior talents and send them to the Ancient Void Battlefield. As a new

master had been selected, his soul could not continue without support.

"May you rest in peace." As the new master of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren felt the moment the

old man vanished. Out of deep respect, Darren turned to face the Grand Void Manor and bowed as he

bid the old man farewell.

However, the several grand warriors staying in the Grand Void Manor only felt a violent shudder from

the Ancient Void Battlefield. They didn't know that the so-called Lord of the Void had died. Confused by

the violent shudder, they released their spiritual sense to detect problems with the Ancient Void

Battlefield. To their surprise, the Ancient Void Battlefield had vanished.

"Eh, Darren is coming out!" one of the grand warriors sensed Darren's breath.

In a flash, seven grand warriors disappeared. In the next moment, they surrounded Darren as he

stepped out of the battlefield.

"Sirs, you are here." Darren didn't know what to say to them.

"Ha-ha, Darren, I knew you were a talented person the first time I saw you. The fact that you have

gained success also proves that. You did a good job in the Ancient Void Battlefield." Chad laughed

heartily as he patted Darren on the shoulder.

"Well, I also thought that you were extraordinary. I was right about you," Brian said.

"Bah! Ignorant person. Shame on you!" Chad scolded. Brian's face reddened at the rebuke.

It was Brian who had put forward the suggestion to eliminate Darren first.

"Do you think it is appropriate for you to forget yourselves in front of a junior?" another grand warrior

coughed as he suggested. The other grand warriors grimaced at the reminder. Soon, their expressions

reflected the seriousness appropriate for that moment.

"By the way, how many tests did you go through? We sensed that the Ancient Void Battlefield

disappeared. Do you know the reason?" one of the grand warriors asked.

"I struggled to pass the eleventh space as the guardian of the twelfth space was far too powerful. I

failed to defeat him even though I spent a long time in cultivation. As for the reason why the Ancient

Void Battlefield disappeared, I only know that the guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield said he

needed to conceal the battlefield temporarily. I don't know what led him to take such an action,"

Darren told them. He had no intention of informing them that he had become the master of the Ancient

Void Battlefield. He was not familiar with these grand warriors and didn't think it was wise to share this

important development with them.

"We understand." The grand warriors had no reason to doubt Darren's explanation.

"You have shown that you are the best by passing the eleventh test. From now on, you are my first

man. You will receive a handsome reward from me," Chad said hurriedly. He needed to remind the

other grand warriors that Darren was already his disciple.

"Ha-ha." Darren smiled thinly. He didn't comment on Chad's statement. Instead, he said, "Lord Chad,

these are the Primitive Stones that I collected. Please take them."

Darren released thirty Primitive Stones from his Space Ring.

"Hey, there is no need for such formalities. Call me Uncle Chad instead of Lord Chad." Although Chad

thought that Darren should have found more Primitive Stones, his heart overflowed with joy at the sight

of the thirty stones that Darren did give to him.

Primitive Stones were necessary for grand warriors to cultivate their domain skill. Without

enhancements in domains, grand warriors could not advance. No doubt, every grand warrior thought

highly of Primitive Stones.

For the grand warriors present, thirty Primitive Stones were already a significant number. Usually, the

superior talents they sent to the Raksa Sea were unable to bring back so many despite searching for

several years.

Hence, Darren had not only proven his potential by passing the eleventh space, but he had also

pleased the grand warriors by finding so many Primitive Stones. Chad could send Darren to the Raksa

Sea again to get more Primitive Stones. This thought made him quite happy.

The other grand warriors, however, were envious of the Primitive Stones Darren had given to Chad.

Although greed shone in their eyes, they did not harbor evil intentions.

As they didn't know that the Lord of Void had dissipated, none of them dared to breach the rules. Or

else, a fight would ensue for possession of the Primitive Stones, and there would be chaos in the land.

"By the way, Uncle Chad, I am looking forward to going to the Raksa Sea. I am not sure whether I need

to challenge the superior talents of the Talent Roll before," Darren prompted Chad.

Chad was very happy to hear Darren's words. 'Such talent doesn't need to challenge the inferior

cultivators on Talent Roll. Since I am anxious to send him to the Raksa Sea, we can circumvent rules, '

Chad thought.

"Darren, you don't need to challenge the Talent Roll as you are different from the outsiders. We will

send a group of superior talents to the Raksa Sea in a month. Come to me then. I will give you some

treasures to keep you safe. As for the Primitive Stones, quantity doesn't matter as long as you do your

best. Just put your safety above all else,"

Chad replied. Over time, Chad had proven that he could charm people with his words. By expressing

his concern for Darren's safety, Chad thought he had earned Darren's loyalty.

"Ha-ha got it. I will take my leave now. I will come to bother Uncle Chad if I have trouble," Darren's

voice was flat as he replied to the grand warrior.

"Go, go." Chad smiled and nodded. exclusive content.

After Darren took his leave, the other grand warriors glared at Chad sternly. They tried to persuade

Chad to share some Primitive Stones with them.

Their discussion lasted for a long time. At last, Chad had to distribute several Primitive Stones to the

other grand warriors. He knew that he would offend the other grand warriors and invite potential trouble

if he pocketed all the Primitive Stones.

"Hum, that lad must have kept some Primitive Stones for himself."

In a dark corner of the Grand Void Manor, an insidious man kept a close watch on Darren's departing

figure. He was so well hidden that even the grand warriors couldn't detect him!
