CHAPTER 433 WAITING AND RETURNING (PART ONE)

"Aaron, you just saved my life! I can't believe it! I owe you a great deal!"

Although Darren had indeed been dead early on, his soul was not completely shattered. So when he

was brought back from the dead, he still knew about the events that had taken place during his death,

which was how Darren knew that it was Aaron who just saved his life. The veil between life and death exclusive content.

had become very transparent for him then.

"Brother, glad to have you back with us! Welcome back!" Aaron gave out a hearty laughter, from the pit

of his stomach to express his genuine happiness.

"I see why you have been asking me to die. I know now that had you done so, I could be reborn much

stronger and much more powerful. Why didn't you explain it to me?" Darren finally understood the

reason why Aaron had been on his case all this time. It was for Darren's benefit so he could improve

the strength of his body and soul. If only Darren had understood or known back then.

Nonetheless, Darren checked his own body and found its strength was now at a very high level. It was

so strong that he believed that he could take on a two-star grand warrior at the top level and survive his

blast with nothing but his body. He was quite confident of his body's strength and quite thrilled of the

potential challenge.

More importantly, Darren felt that his Spirit Power had never been this powerful before, and this was

the sign that his soul had been elevated to a higher level.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought that you meant to harm me! You have really got to be clear in

your communications," Darren asked Aaron, with much gratitude in his voice, which was slightly shaky.

"I am not good with words. So I thought that it would be best for me if I just showed you," Aaron

answered, with a little bit of awkwardness in his voice and sentence structure.

The fact was that Aaron had been imprisoned in that black domain for many years, and he had to live

through endless cruel torture every single day—by default his linguistic ability on a daily basis was

worn out too, which was the reason why he had difficulty expressing his true intention to other people.

When he realized that Darren was about to die, his strong desire to save Darren's life finally overcame

the restraints so that he could tell Darren everything. He spilt everything out and confessed.

"It is my fault that I misjudged you. Thank you for everything that you have done for us, Aaron. I would

have been long dead if it weren't for you. Thank you my dear friend." Darren thanked him sincerely with

a genuine and appreciative smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eyes, just like a cat that had been

given another lease on life.

Right now, despite being surrounded by hot magma, and scorching temperatures, Darren could

completely ignore the heat and the erosion of runes as his body was strong enough for him to

withstand many forms of attacks after Aaron had modified and improved it for him. What strength!

"You are most welcome. Brother, let's get out of here! Quick, hurry up!" Aaron then punched through

the layer of magma that was beneath him directly with his palm and both of them fell to the

underground world at lower levels.

It was dark and gloomy here in this world with only the skyline from afar that was glistening with red

light like that of the sunset glow, which made this world look even more desolate and bleak. The

imagery lent itself to a beautiful classic painting.

Darren and Aaron were roaming around side by side while Darren was checking out his surroundings

with his spiritual sense. This place was scattered with remains and ruins which came from ancient

times. All of these indicated that this place had once been prosperous and fertile long ago.

"There is indeed a lost world from ancient times hidden in this giant tripod," Darren mumbled to himself

in a soft voice, thinking of the time frame.

"Right, speaking of which, Aaron, you should know that I have the Ancient Void Battlefield. How come I

can no longer sense its presence?" Now that Darren had lost contact with his friends, he naturally

wanted to let his friends know the good news that he was safe and sound. However, he was unable to

do so since he could no longer feel the presence of the Ancient Void Battlefield. How frustrating!

"Your soul, didn't fit...your body," Aaron said inarticulately, which took Darren by surprise. Aaron tried

his best to use his owns words to explain the reason to Darren after giving his question some thought.

"Oh! I see! You must be talking about the match between my body and my soul. Then how long would it

take to adjust my soul so that it could fit my body?" Darren asked sarcastically, with a hint of anger, who

was also a little worried that it might take long.

"One month," answered Aaron, firmly and solidly.

Darren nodded slightly with relief as one month was much shorter than he had anticipated it would be.

He could hardly wait.

"The spiritual energy here was quite dense. Maybe I should stay here and improve my cultivation base

for a month before I reach out to my friends and let them know that I am still alive."

Darren had just realized that the density of the spiritual energy in this underground world was many

times of that in the outside world. So this presented Darren with a perfect opportunity to increase the

level of his cultivation base.

With this thought in mind, Darren hunkered down and began to use his talent to absorb the spiritual

energy in this world, and he also activated his assimilation skill to assimilate the cardiac core that he

had kept in his Space Ring.

A giant spiritual energy vortex began to gather above Darren's head and then shot straight into his

body. It was quite a phenomena.

Darren's talent degree was now at the fifth level of the Heaven Degree, plus the fact that he was

assimilating spiritual energy at a very quick speed; his actual cultivation efficiency was tantamount to

that of the ninth level of the Heaven Degree, something quite impressive.
