CHAPTER 557 REACHING THE GRAND REALM

Both Mathew and Hanson smiled faintly when they heard Darren.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's true! Barnes the Holy is in the Raksa Sea." Darren recalled his conversation with Pasquale, the

Giant Ape. Pasquale had informed him that Barnes the Holy, the monkey with the golden hair, had

killed the Nine-headed Serpent that had come from the outer space. Pasquale had also repeatedly

begged him to save Barnes the Holy.

Confusion had coursed through Darren then. He had never imagined that the monkey Pasquale asked

him to save was such a legend.

"Well, stop talking about these things. We have got something more important to do," Mathew said

seriously.

Hearing this, Darren had no choice but to stop explaining.

"This is the reward that the master gave for you. Keep it carefully. The mutant tribes outside are going

to break through the divine weapons. You'd better get ready to go out and deal with them as soon as

possible." The reward that Mathew presented to Darren was an ordinary key.

Darren's mind cleared of all thoughts when he saw the key.

"What's this?" Darren muttered.

"This is a supreme treasure. The key is crucial to reaching the Emperor Realm. With it, you will have

the right to become a holy emperor as long as your cultivation base reaches a certain level. Keep it

safe. I will tell you when the time to use it is right.

And one more thing. You can be regarded as the nominal disciple of my master since you have

reached the top of the Starry Tower. But, as the master can't use his avatar to come here at this stage,

he cannot formally accept you as his disciple. So, he wanted me to ask whether you are willing to

become his disciple,"

Mathew stated.

"Uh..." Darren hesitated.

The young man with black and white sword eyes was an invincible master from an alien world. If

Darren became his disciple, he would not suffer any losses. So why not accept his offer?

"Yes, I do. But could you please let me know the identity of your master?" Darren agreed.

"Let's talk about that later. For now, you only need to know that your master is a powerful man with a

strong background. He is an extremely powerful figure even in the outer space, as he can suppress all

forces. This is the gift he gave for you if you accepted his offer to be his disciple. Take them," Mathew

instructed.

"Well, these two legendary martial skills are extraordinary. When you completely master these skills,

they can help you to improve your blade and sword intents to the extreme level. At that time, you will be

as powerful as me." Even Hanson's eyes lit up when he saw the gift.

Darren took the books of the legendary martial skills and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Mathew

Xiao."

"You're welcome. Now, let's hurry. We need to look at what is happening outside." As Mathew waved

his hand, a picture appeared in front of Darren.

In the southern land

The sky was so full of countless mutants that they hid the sun and blanketed the earth with their

shadows.

Many grand warriors, who were standing on the ground, raised their heads. They appeared anxious as

they stared at the fishing net that was close to breaking.

"Human beings get ready to die!"

"I will eat enough human flesh and drink enough blood today, ha-ha."

Countless mutants with ferocious expressions were excited with the thought of killing all the human

beings below.

"What happened? A legendary weapon shouldn't break so easily."

The human masters were confused. But they were unable to approach the Chasm Clan and the

Heavenly Palace Sect.

After observing for a few moments, Mathew was unable to maintain the images.

"How could this be? The timing is obviously wrong."

Darren frowned. He had been in the Starry Tower for less than three years. Under normal

circumstances, the fishing net shouldn't have broken at this time.

Elders from the Chasm Clan had once said that the legendary fishing net could last between three to

five years. But now, it had collapsed in less than three years. Something must be wrong.

Darren couldn't help but grow concerned when he saw the scene. If the mutants broke through the

legendary weapon, it would bring a devastating blow to the human beings.

There was no other choice! Darren had to help.

"Could you please send me out there, sir?" Darren asked as apprehension coursed through him.

"Don't worry." Just as Mathew was about to send Darren out, Hanson stopped him.

"Is something the matter, Mr. Hanson Xiao?" Darren asked as confusion coursed through him.

"Going out would be useless at your current strength. The strongest mutants of those tribes are too

powerful for you to battle. You need to reach the Grand Realm. Only then will you have a chance to

confront them."

Darren paused and thought about what Hanson had said. Soon, he felt that Hanson's explanation was

reasonable. With his current strength, he could at best protect himself. It would be impossible for him to

kill the strongest mutants.

"You're right. I'm sorry for being too anxious to see that. Darren, you can keep improving your

cultivation base here. Perhaps the fishing net and the humans can resist for ten to fifteen days,"

Mathew added.

"Well, since I can't go out there anytime soon, can I cultivate here to reach the Grand Realm, Mr.

Hanson Xiao?"

"Of course, you can. Do you know why I didn't allow you to reach the Grand Realm on the fifth floor?"

Hanson asked.

Darren shook his head.

"Because if you reached the Grand Realm while on the fifth floor, I would not be able to help you. You

would have surely died once you triggered the Heavenly Repression. That's why I took your spiritual

crystals away and asked Mathew to seal your Space Ring," Hanson explained.

After hearing this, Darren was very grateful to Hanson and Mathew. It was true that if he made a rash

decision to reach the Grand Realm, even if there were enough Primitive Stones, he could not have

resisted the force of Heavenly Repression.

"In fact, if you hadn't been in possession of the Dark Emperor's Armor, I would also have helped you to

kill the metal creatures. We allowed you to fight to the end because we wanted you to develop more

potential," Mathew added.

"Ha-ha, I see. Thank you very much!" Darren bowed slightly with his hands clasped in front.

"Well, no more nonsense. You should assimilate the spiritual crystals as soon as possible to break

through to the Grand Realm," Hanson and Mathew instructed with a slight nod.

Darren brought out the spiritual crystals without further delay and began to assimilate the spiritual

energy contained in them.

After an hour, Darren felt as though an electric shock had paralyzed him.

"I am reaching the Grand Realm now."

At this moment, even inside the Starry Tower, waves of tremendous spiritual energy of heaven and

earth gathered together, and winds and clouds changed rapidly.

As Darren had broken through to a new realm, so he had to re-fuse the blade and sword intents.

Black lightning flashed across the sky.

"Gee, the Heavenly Repression is not too powerful, is it?" Hanson stared up at the sky as he spoke.

His clothes flowed in the wind as the storm grew in intensity.

In fact, after being suppressed by the golden hand, the Heavenly Repression that Darren could trigger

was relatively weak. The power of the Heavenly Repression this time was not even as strong as one-

tenth of that in the Raksa Sea when he broke through to the Wonder Realm.

As such, the dark gold internal force Darren generated when he fused his sword intent and blade intent

was not as powerful as the original one.

As Darren's cultivation base increased, the blade intent and sword intent in his body began to grow

violent. He used the Primitive Stones, which contained the Heavenly Repression Rule, to fuse them

continually.

Streaks of more powerful dark gold internal force formed in Darren's body.

Boom!

At this time, streaks of black lightning also began to fall from the sky.

Even though the Heavenly Repression was much weaker than that in the Raksa Sea, Darren still felt

overwhelmed by the power. With each lightning flash, Darren's body quivered. This material belongs to .

Whoosh!

A handsome figure flew into the air and rushed toward the ferocious black lightning.

"Is Hanson going to be all right?" Darren murmured, feeling a little worried.

"You don't need to worry. Hanson has a way to resist the Heavenly Repression. Otherwise, he wouldn't

have been able to stay alive this long. Do you forget that he is close to reaching the Holy Realm?"

Mathew also stared up at the sky as he spoke.

Hearing his words, Darren nodded lightly before looking up intently. He wanted to see how Hanson

resisted the Heavenly Repression.
