CHAPTER 656 EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION (PART ONE)
Darren abandoned the crystal and focused his spiritual sense on the Ancient Void Battlefield.
"What's wrong with you, Finley?" he blurted out at once.
At the sight of Finley, Darren unleashed his spiritual sense to create a sound that would wake him up.
He was shocked to find Finley sitting in a high mountain with his eyes closed and his face deathly pale.
"Phew!"
After the clamor made by Darren's spiritual sense, Finley opened his eyes. It looked as if space
collapsed in his eyes, judging from the confused expression that appeared on them. A glance from him
would make one shudder.
"Shit, I am seriously injured when I forced myself to use the Holy Will," Finley explained to Darren.
"Have you reached the Holy Realm or not?" Darren asked after hearing Finley's elucidation.
"Yes, I have. I'm an inferior holy warrior now. But I'm just a soul, so when I forced myself to break
through the restrictions of the Ancient Void Battlefield to scare that holy body, it caused too much
damage to me." Finley smiled bitterly as he reiterated the incident to Darren.
"Besides, how could I stop him if I had not reached the Holy Realm?" with a faint voice, Finley sighed
and continued.
"Oh, I see. So that blood figure is indeed a strong master of the Holy Realm?" Darren asked calmly.
"Hmm, I could say, yes and no," while taking a deep breath, Finley answered as he furrowed his
eyebrows.
"What do you mean by that?" Darren asked again as he was totally confused by Finley's response.
"I could feel that his Holy Will was real, and his body was also a real holy body. But I could not sense
his soul. From the start, I even doubted that his soul was even existing!" Finley felt it was unbelievable,
impossible even. What he had seen and sensed were two totally different things that triggered much of
his confusion.
Generally speaking, even if that man's holy body was controlled by something, it would never be so
overpowering, let alone possess the Holy Will.
To take as an example, Eddy, who had got a holy body from somewhere, was not very strong even
after his soul entered the holy body. At the very least, he could not even beat a seven-star grand
warrior.
However, on Eddy's part, the holy body was on the verge of collapsing after it had been buried for
many years. Maybe that was the reason why it was not powerful enough.
"He doesn't have a soul, but he acts like a normal creature. That is truly unbelievable. I killed some
strange creatures before and found that they didn't have the talent for martial arts, but their bodies
were like puzzles pieced together by all kinds of beasts," remarked Darren. With all the battles that he Belongs © to .
had gone through, Darren encountered something very unusual before. Thus, he relayed the
information to Finley, hoping they could shed some light to all the queries and uncertainties they had.
"Pieced together? What do you mean by that?" Finley asked after thinking about Darren's vague
assertions. Hearing no response from Darren as of the moment, Finley lingered in his thought for a
while before saying, "Maybe these things were forcefully resurged by the Life Formula?"
"Forced to resurge? Is there anyone who can actually do it?" at the mention of the Life Formula, Darren
asked in surprise.
"Well, as far as I know, there is someone who can achieve that. But my understanding of the Life
Formula is too shallow for me to make certain of that. The Life Formula I've mastered can only bring a
person back to life in the moment of his/her death. In fact, the most important thing is to recombine the
souls. On my part, the Life Formula is useless without the souls," Finley explained to Darren in detail.
"This is such a weird place. So let's not think about other things while we are here. Now that you have
reached the Holy Realm, that means I'm less dangerous. You can help me when I get myself in trouble
and when necessary," Darren said while giving Finley a commanding smile. Through his gestures,
Darren was sending Finley a message that he relied on him, and Darren would call on to him more
often.
"It's not that simple as you think. Only my soul had reached the Holy Realm, and I'm still in need of a
body that would be equally as robust. In general, I can't get out of the Ancient Void Battlefield. If I force
myself to go out again, I could fall out of the Holy Realm. Now, the most important thing is for you to
help me get a holy body; otherwise, I can't help you, humph!
Besides, even if I obtained the holy body, I'm afraid it would take me some time to integrate and refine it
to harmonize with the soul. Calculated by the time in the outside world, I assume I will need at least
three months. If you can't find me a body as soon as possible, in case you meet a living holy warrior
again, you're dead for sure," Finley said while teasing Darren a bit. Though he was threatened by his
situation right now, Finley just couldn't dismiss the sunny attitude that he had.
"It's not that easy to find a holy body. It all depends on both fate and destiny," Darren exclaimed with a
complaining expression. After seeing that Finley was not heeding to his words, Darren rolled his eyes
at him and asked, "By the way, how did you know it was safe here?"
Astonished by the sudden question, Finley was about to reproach Darren when the latter said
everything depended on fate and destiny, but he stopped after he heard what Darren asked next. He
took a deep breath and said, "At that time, when I broke through the Ancient Void Battlefield, it was like
I was in the outside world. While I was there, I somehow sensed that there was a place in the western
region that could suppress the Holy Will. I even tried to cross the space to come here, but a strange
force blocked me. With that, I assumed that the holy body could not come here either, and later on, I
have proven that assumption to be true, and now I am certain of that."
