CHAPTER 503 PREPARED THE SKY PIERCING ARRAY (PART ONE)
Though Darren was thrilled at the thought that the grandmasters of the Violet Phoenix Sect would help
him out, still, he couldn't help worrying about Timothy and Abelard. Apart from that, Darren also felt
anxious if the border mutants had known that the space passage was sealed. Otherwise, how could
they dare invade Timothy's family? The thought made Darren even more fazed.
As he walked back and forth along the hall of the palace, an hour later, Jacob came back to the hall
after informing other masters of martial arts.
"Darren, you mentioned earlier that both the Red Inferno Sect and the Soul Hunter Sect were
exterminated. What happened?" Because it took some time for those masters to come, Jacob had the
leisure of the time to ask Darren. He was curious about the details of what happened to the sects.
Since he had arrived, Darren knew that Jacob was curious about the fates of the sects. The young
warrior, in return, did not mean to conceal the truth, so he narrated to Jacob the story on how the two
vilest factions had reached the end of the existence of their dominance.
"What? Is that so? How horrible!"
After hearing the account from Darren, who was present at that time, flesh and blood, Jacob was totally
at a loss for words.
As a matter of fact, he indeed felt something unusual that day, when the incident happened. It turned
out that it was not one of his illusion, but something commodious and unbounded happened.
Boom!
To convince himself a little more, Jacob stood up and chopped the air outside of the hall with his palm
fiercely. To his bewilderment, his action did not have any influences on the space at all.
"Oh my God! So, it is indeed true!" As he was uttering those words in disbelief, Jacob had a grim
expression on his face.
While the master was immersed with thoughts about the alterations in the space, an older man in red
robes marched towards the hall with quick steps.
"That's true, Jacob. I, myself, noticed that space had been upgraded since that day, but I did not expect
that something detrimental happened on the other side of the lands."
The older man in the red robe was Nick, and he was the invited guardian of Violet Phoenix Sect. He
had stayed with the sect for quite a long time now and had proved himself to be of great help to the
group.
"This was all my fault. But I was left with no other choice. I must save my sister," with his head bowed This material belongs to .
low and a whispered voice, Darren explained.
"No, don't blame yourself. It was not your fault. After hearing what you've said, I am certain the
upgrading of the space was destined to happen, whether it was triggered by you or not. At this stage,
we'd better inform others to be prepared. If those border bastards came along, it would not be easy for
us to deal with them," suggested the anxious Jacob. His hand rested on Darren's shoulder while
comforting and assuring him that what had happened was none of his faults.
"We are fortunate enough that the demonic monsters in the Heavenly Serene Graveyard were killed by
now. At this time, we only have the other three places that inhabit the border mutants," knowing that he
had found a reliable ally among the Violet Phoenix Sect, with Master Jacob and Nick, Darren advised
with profound convictions.
"No, I believe the most powerful demonic monsters are not those in the Heavenly Serene Graveyard,
but those that are in the demonic monster domain." After Darren's assumption, Nick, the old man in red
robes, opposed his statement with a shake of his head.
"Demonic monster domain? I have been there, but I barely saw any grand demonic monsters in that
domain. Are you sure of that, sir?" asked the surprised Darren.
"There are not a lot of grand demonic monsters in the demonic monster domain. To be precise, there is
only one grand demonic monster, which is Dragon King. He is strong enough to defeat everyone in the
Heavenly Serene Graveyard," with eyes widened in a worried expression, Nick explained.
"Dragon King?" The name reverberated on Darren's thoughts. As he remembered where he had heard
the name before, Darren gave out a scornful frown.
"Yes. Hundreds of years ago, he was as powerful as a five-star grand warrior. He must be much more
powerful now," asserted Nick.
"That is impossible," still unable to believe in every word that Nick was saying, Darren denied. He
shook his head and continued saying, "My friend and I killed one demonic monster king in the demonic
monster domain. At that time, the king we killed had mentioned the Dragon King. But from what he
said, I could tell that Dragon King had just broken through to the Grand Realm. How come he was as
powerful as a five-star grand warrior?"
"Darren, Nick cannot be wrong. The one you were referring about might be the real Dragon King's
child," making things clear to both Darren and Nick, Jacob responded.
"That is possible. That might be the explanation." As things started to clear off a bit, Darren nodded. He
had come to a consensus with Jacob and Nick.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let us just focus on discussing how to save your friends. The other
grand warriors are about to arrive," suggested Jacob as he sensed a few powerful auras drawing
closer to them.
"Yes, I believe we should do that," agreed Darren. While anticipating the arrival of the grand warriors,
Darren took a seat and had Jacob's and Nick's attention. With that, he said, "Based on Abelard's
account, the mutants in the Western Desert Island are led by a four-star mutant. More than that, there
also are many other powerful mutants. I am worried it would still be challenging to rescue them even
with the help of the grand warriors."
All three of them looked at each other's eyes. They knew for a fact that a four-star mutant grand warrior
had mighty fighting capacities. Even with the three-star human grand warriors' combined strength, and
Darren's too, they wouldn't be on par with the four-star mutant grand warrior.
Back then, the sub-specific legendary beast, which was the winged-tiger, almost killed twenty three-star
grand warriors all at once.
That was actually excellent. Yet, at the onset, Darren's biggest fear was, what if there were other much
stronger mutants there? Even higher than a four-star mutant? Even if there was just one more four-star
mutant joining in the fight, it would become extremely difficult for them to handle. If things came to
worst, they might meet their doom on Western Desert Island while facing the powerful mutants.
"A four-star grand warrior is indeed very powerful, especially when backed up with numerous equally
powerful minions. Thus, we really need your help, elder." While saying that, Jacob turned to Nick. His
eyes were full of supplication and pleas towards the elder.
The instant Nick met Jacob's eyes, he readily knew what he meant. To let Darren know about what was
on their mind, Nick slightly shook his head and said, "Do you suggest we should use the Sky Piercing
Array? However, I cannot create the required powerful rule power crystal core at the moment. But if
someone, whose cultivation base is as strong as mine would assist me, I could create the crystal core
of the Sky Piercing Array again."
