CHAPTER 342 THE NEBULA AT THE ELIXIR FIELD (PART ONE)

'If I fail, I will be doomed!' This was the thought that occupied Darren's mind as he was mentally

disturbed at the moment. By the same token, he was sitting on a powdered keg and had to move on.

Then, with his enhanced spiritual sense, Darren operated the aura of dragon blood in his elixir field to

compress it into the revolving demon core.

"Ah! Ahhhrrrggghhh," Darren cried out as the sharp pain in his elixir field made his whole body tremble.

He had not anticipated the pain to be so agonizing.

"Darren, are you okay?" Scott asked worriedly, looking at Darren, who was in torment. He panicked

and did not know what to do to help Darren overcome the situation.

"Scott, I'm fine. Transmit more aura of dragon blood to my meridians," Darren shouted, gnashing his

teeth in pain while instructing Scott.

As a knee-jerk reaction, Scott nodded. Hollowing out his strength, Scott continuously transmitted a

steady flow of the aura of dragon blood into Darren's meridians. Accepting the immense aura, Darren

controlled it and compressed it into his demon core.

Soon enough, the pervasive flow of the aura of dragon blood was turned into streams of liquid under

Darren's compression, flowing on the surface of the demon core. The demonic internal force in the

demon core grappled to break through the suppression of the blade and sword intent, which intensified

Darren's agony.

Crack!

A sharp cracking sound was heard from the rotating demon core. A few moments later, hairline cracks

crept around the demon core, signifying that it was about to burst out.

"Ahhhhh!" Darren roared, bearing with the tormenting pain. With the last of his spiritual sense, he

continued compressing such a significant quantity of the aura of dragon blood, preventing more cracks

from developing on the demon core.

At that point, the demon core rotated at breakneck speed with golden electric sparks twinkling on its

surface. Finally, under the impact of the mighty extrusion force, the demon core dispersed into

powders.

After the effect of the dispersion, the scattered demonic internal force and the aura of dragon blood

formed into a small storm. The combination spiraled under the impact of the tiny golden lightning—it

resembled a nebula.

Assuming that he had succeeded in doing the task, Darren couldn't bear the pain anymore and passed

out.

Just a few inches away from him, Scott was appalled to see Darren unconscious. Getting closer to him,

Scott set his mind at rest when he probed that Darren's elixir field was peaceful—free from any signs of

intense struggling.

Scott stayed beside Darren. He didn't take the initiative to cure his wounds for fear that it would incur

further complications.

After about four hours, Darren came to his senses and was able to regain some of his strength. He

woke up with his clothes soaked and drenched that clung tightly on his flesh.

"Oooooh." Pulling out a deep sigh, Darren was relieved that the task was finally done. His mouth was

pale, and he looked very haggard. Parched and tired, he found it difficult to speak and breathe at the

same time.

"Darren, how are you feeling right now? I am sorry, it was my fault. I didn't think that you would undergo

such great pain. I almost killed you," Scott asked in full tilt as he felt guilty for being responsible in

Darren's turmoil.

"Never mind that Scott. Though I had a rough time, I feel even better now than before,"

resting his hand on Scott's shoulder, Darren replied. With his other hand that was quite feeble and still

quivering a little, Darren used his spiritual sense to check on his elixir filed. Right there and then, at his

elixir field, he spotted an olive-black nebula steadily hovering beside his blade core and sword core. It

was the sign that the demonic internal force and the aura of dragon blood had achieved a balance

within him. Aside from the swirling nebula, Darren sensed that there was a formidable force that crept

through his entire being, which was just a little weaker than his dark gold internal force.

However, at the moment, Darren was too weak to test the force of the nebula. Instead, he took a pile of

superior spiritual herbs from his Space Ring to cure his wounds through assimilating skill.

After about an hour, with the help of the spiritual herbs, Darren gradually recovered and roughly This belongs to - ©.

returned to his normal state and strength.

"Scott, I'm feeling much better now. You should go back for now and consolidate your cultivation base.

Let's meet at the Lotus Holy Land tomorrow," looking at the worried face of Scott, Darren urged him.

Scott had procrastinated for quite a long time because of him.

"Okay. Good thing that you are alright now. That's really a relief for me. I will be a little late tomorrow.

Remember, don't act recklessly in case the two-star grand warrior will kill you before my arrival," with a

sheepish smile, Scott advised repeatedly.

"Rest assured, and I won't be playing with fire. I know what to do. I should go back to see Elder Colin.

Scott, I'll be leaving now," Darren said as he saluted to Scott and turned away.

With Darren gone, Scott picked a mountain and exploded a cave with the force of his palm. Then he

entered the sanctuary to strengthen his cultivation base. If Scott wasted more time, he wouldn't be able

to reach the highest level. That was why he didn't go back with Darren and preferred to cultivate in that

place.

After flying for a while amongst the clouds, Darren could see the ruins among the green hills, which had

been the prosperous Lotus Holy Land in the past.

With a soft thud on the ground covered with tiles and stones debris, Darren landed from the sky and

looked around the view of the ruins.

'The Lotus Holy Land should also have a forbidden area. Where is that forbidden area, and how is it

now?' instead of pursuing his original plan of meeting Colin first, Darren speculated about the matter.

He couldn't dismiss the idea of discovering the forbidden area in the Lotus Holy Land.
