CHAPTER 426 AARON IS OUT (PART ONE)
Odd, creepy, and unusual, these were the sensation that Darren felt in the Ancient Void Battlefield. A
tinge of suspicious intuition was telling him the cold, scary feeling was from the strange little boy.
"How is that little boy, Finley?" questioned Darren with his brows raised. He sent a message to Finley
with his spiritual sense.
"He looked rather irritable these past few days. It was as if he had sensed something from the outside,
and that was bothering him day and night," Finley replied gravely. He, too, sensed the little boy's
strange behavior but didn't delve in much more thoroughly.
At that point of Darren and Finley's conversation, the boy climbed out of the cave where he stayed.
Turning his head sideways, he cast his eerie, spooky gaze into the sky as if to penetrate through the
boundaries of the Ancient Void Battlefield.
"Kill!"
The boy's deep, icy voice echoed across the Ancient Void Battlefield. At the same time, plenty of black
runes lit up all over his body, cracking the ground with their violent force. Tremendous energy radiated
out from the boy's body and dispersed throughout the entire Ancient Void Battlefield.
Darren could sense the quake and the potent energy from the Ancient Void Battlefield. If the boy
continued doing the destruction, the whole Ancient Void Battlefield would be shattered completely.
By this time, Darren's cultivation base level was not that high, and his force of control was not that
strong yet. Thus, it followed that the stability of the Ancient Void Battlefield was not that transcendent
and could be compromised any time soon.
"Do you need me to stop him?" Finley said in an indifferent voice, sounding already a little similar to the
Shadow Emperor. A trace of worry was evident in his voice.
"No, I don't think there is a need for that," Darren replied after thinking for a short while, as he knew
that even if it was the Shadow Emperor who fought against the boy, he was not sure if the Shadow
Emperor could suppress the little boy's power right now. What was more, if such a high-level battle
between the little boy and the Shadow Emperor commenced, the struggle for sure would cause grave
damage to the Ancient Void Battlefield, if not totally wreck it.
"What shall we do, then?" asked Finley, he was a bit shaken by now, and his voice quivered though he
tried hard to conceal it.
"I will release him from the Ancient Void Battlefield." This decision was undoubtedly the best option for
the meantime. Darren knew that the boy was filled with hatred for the resentful revenants. Thus, if the NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
boy would be liberated, it was inevitable that the boy would begin to slaughter the revenants as soon as
possible. Besides, he had no choice at the moment, being caught between the safety of the Ancient
Void Battlefield and the boy's plot for revenge against the revenants. Darren knew that he had to make
a decision.
After weighing things over in his mind, Darren directly mobilized the force of control to open a passage
in the sky of the first space of the Ancient Void Battlefield. Seeing the chance, the little boy instantly got
out.
"Kill!"
As Darren had expected, when the boy just appeared in the Purgatorial Tripod, he roared and rushed
to attack the resentful revenants. The little boy wasted no time in acting out his plan and made sure
that he wouldn't miss a single revenant.
The moment they saw the boy, the resentful revenants feared him to the extreme that they let out shrill
screams, which echoed in the darkness. Shivers ran down their spines, and some fled to escape the
boy's wrath and somehow save their lives.
Amidst the chaos, Darren was relaxed. While on the other hand, the rest of the people did not look
calm. The terrible aura of the little boy made them all turn pale and stunned. There was something in
the boy that surprised them. Never did they imagine that the boy was capable of incurring such potent
strength. Hailey, in particular, appeared to have a deep fear of the little boy. She was just observing all
the hustle and bustle beside Darren, yet she was so surprised and stunned at the same time. She
couldn't help but hold her eyes wide in awe at the boy's show of power.
"Are you all right?" Darren asked while he felt Hailey's hand as she stretched out to lean on Darren to
maintain her balance.
"Who is that boy? He has such a great cultivation base of a rule cultivator. I hate to say this, but his
power makes me feel very uncomfortable." Hailey's voice sounded somewhat painful. She couldn't
understand why, but there was something in the boy that made her feel jittery right at that instant.
Sensing the troubled mind and half-hearted soul that Hailey had, Darren could not do anything more
helpful. He could only send some spiritual energy into Hailey's body to calm her and make her feel not
so cold and numb. As for the fact that she was intimidated by the boy's ability as a rule cultivator,
Darren could not help her. In his mind, he decided to let the matter settle for fear that anything he might
say could worsen Hailey's feelings.
"We have been falling for quite a time now. When is it going to come to an end?" asked Timothy.
"What if there is no end at all?" Abelard said. "It would be worse for us than death."
Both of them felt very helpless, with their shoulders slacked in hopelessness. Both of them desperately
wanted to fight, but they could do nothing at the moment. Thus, they just watched the boy do whatever
he fancied doing and did nothing about it.
Inside the Purgatorial Tripod, there were a high number of resentful revenants. Even though the boy
was mighty, he wasn't able to kill all the revenants after a long while.
However, on one end, Darren hoped that the resentful revenants here were endless. He feared that the
moment the little boy killed all the revenants, it would be their turn to be killed. He didn't want that to
happen as much as possible. Yet, all they could do right now was hope that the revenants would never
run out.
"Um? Look! Over there, there is a faint light!"
After a long time, the corners of Darren's eyes caught a glimpse of a red glow below. Although it was
quite far away, the queer light was evident in the darkness.
"Great, I hope that light would end our troubles," Abelard shouted joyfully.
"It is still not certain whether that light will do us good or not. Who knows where that will lead us?" said
Timothy in contrast to Abelard's rejoicing.
Following Darren's orders, they continued falling for a while with the red light as their guide. As they
gradually neared, the red light progressively brightened up. Darren and the rest of the group also felt
the sudden rise in temperature. The warmth crept through their bones, easing the grave coldness they
felt earlier.
