CHAPTER 469 MEANS TO SAVE HIS LIFE (PART TWO)
Substantially, as a rule cultivator, he couldn't absorb the external Spirit Power and make it all for
himself. The only way he could increase his Spirit Power was by cultivating and comprehending, so
that he could awaken more Spirit Power.
Yet, at any rate, there were precious Soul-fixing Stones in the Soul-refining Pool. Coupled with the
treasures and the souls inside, the young master could use a secret skill to absorb the Spirit Power.
This secret skill was discovered by the master of the Red Inferno Sect from the relics of the Soul
Hunter Sect.
In the meantime, left alone, Darren arranged in an array the four things that the young master gave
him.
The first thing was a very potent rule power shield containing the Protection Rule. It was no weaker
than the Protection Domain of the elders.
With a flicker of his Spirit Power, Darren made the shield cover the entire pool. In that way, even if the
rule cultivators managed to wreck open the Protection Domain, it would be challenging for them to
break the rule power shield.
The second thing was the jade bottle that the young master used before. Inside the jade bottle was a
golden-armored martial artist. Once again, Darren let out his Spirit Power, added with the arcane skill
that the young master taught him, he could use his Spirit Power to control the golden-armored martial
artist to fight for him.
The third thing was a Killing Array. Darren could tell that the Killing Array was much more dominant
than the golden-armored martial artist. Not only that, the Killing Array could attack not only one rule
cultivator, but many rule cultivators at the same time. Once this array was activated, more than half of
the rule cultivators outside would eventually die.
The last thing was also the most powerful, and it was saved, especially to attack the elders. It was a
crystal ball. Inside the ball, there was a small part of the master of the Red Inferno Sect's soul!
These four treasures were all left by the master of the Red Inferno Sect to his son so he could protect
himself while his father was away. Each one of them was powerful and would be handy when faced in
a difficult situation. Even the real Kaleb didn't know about these things. That meant that the rule
cultivators outside also had no idea about the four powerful contraptions. Besides, the young master of
the Red Inferno Sect was so paranoid up to the point that he would never have told anyone the secret
that could save his life.
Darren could even say that the young master must have other treasures that were even more powerful,
but he didn't show. He had to be guarded around Darren in case he betrayed him too. Or if Darren
couldn't resist the rule cultivators outside, he could at least use them to save his own life.
Howbeit, on the flip side, Darren had seen a loophole. There was still one disadvantage of this plan.
The four things entrusted to him by the young master all needed an active Spirit Power to maintain.
Once Darren used them at the same time, his Spirit Power would probably be drained, and he would
be in an unstable state. That might be the reason why the young master of the Red Inferno Sect said
that Darren would suffer.
Yet, he was left with no choice but to fulfill the task. After a while, Darren arranged everything, and he
started to assimilate the Spirit Power that overflowed from the pool.
As he was in the middle of his assimilation, Darren decided that now was not the right time to attack
and kill the young master. The young master was so fond of him, and he believed and trusted deeply in
Darren. Aside from that, the young master might have other means to save his life. If that was the case,
Darren's chances to succeed were slimmed down. Even if he were sure that he could kill the young
master, Darren still wouldn't do that because it wouldn't be good for him.
In the meantime, Darren focused and tried his best to assimilate the Spirit Power that overflowed, and
he successfully assimilated it all.
Three days quickly passed, and Darren's Spirit Power had upgraded a lot. With all the assimilation and
cultivation, he was about to reach level twenty-one of the Spirit Power.
In the intervening period, the disciples and the elders of the Red Inferno Sect outside were all worried
about their young master. They were so anxious because they didn't know what was happening inside.
After three days of constant attack, the Protection Domain was not breaking nor budging an inch at all.
Three days had passed, and all of them were tormented at the thought of their young master's welfare.
Disciples and elders alike were all worried sick of him. They couldn't afford to lose their young master,
especially now knowing that he was the most vulnerable when he was breaking through.
"I can't stand this anymore! We have to get in there to check on the young master! Or we will all
definitely die after the master gets out of his cultivation."
"Don't be so pessimistic. I am positive that the young master must have a lot of treasures to save his
life. He won't be killed that easily. Who knows, by now, maybe the guy has already been killed by our
young master."
"Elder Frederic has a point. That guy probably can only disturb the young master's breaking through. This belongs to - ©.
He doesn't have the power to kill the young master at all."
"You are awfully wrong! The young master is frail when he is breaking through. Even if he has some
treasures to use, he won't have enough Spirit Power to maintain them. The situation might be the other
way around. That impostor is a threat to the young master's life! Let's just face it that you aren't willing
to burn your souls to open the Protection Domain! If you don't open the domain, I will go and report
everything to our master even if I risk my life!"
The people outside were in a heated discussion. They were all afraid that the young master inside
would die. Yet, they didn't know what to do, and they couldn't reach an agreement.
"Enough!" the most powerful elder among the group yelled, making everyone silent. He then ordered,
"You four, burn a small part of our souls with me to open the Protection Domain. The rest of you wait till
the Protection Domain is at its weakest to break it fully. We can't make any mistakes! Do you hear me?"
After arguing for a very long time, the elders couldn't refuse the order anymore. They had no choice but
to burn a part of their soul to open the Protection Domain.
