CHAPTER 708 A COINCIDENCE
'He's seen through me!'
Theodore exhaled hot aura of the dragon blood as the thought flashed through his mind.
As he was a man of action, Theodore had never resorted to tricks. This was the first time that he had
tried to deceive someone, only to fail.
"Ulin, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Theodore asked. Since he had been discovered, there was
no need for him to continue pretending. An instant later, killing intent burst out from Theodore's eyes.
"Ha-ha, man, do you think you can kill me?" Ulin retorted.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, Theodore turned into a huge dragon that was ten thousand feet long. In a flash, dragon
claws flew toward Ulin.
Not one to be defeated easily, Ulin formed a rune sword to defend against the dragon claws.
"This is useless. We have almost the same strength. The winner cannot be decided unless we fight to
the death.
But I'm not stupid enough to fight you to the end. Instead, you will always be my pet, ha-ha," Ulin said.
He poured a little soul power into the metal ball, and then his figure disappeared.
"Howl!"
Theodore was overwhelmed with fury when he saw that Ulin had escaped. Since he had no one to
unleash his anger on, he turned to the cliff and lashed out. Several huge stones rolled down from the
impact of his attacks.
"Ulin, I will tear you to pieces!" Theodore growled at the sky after he returned to his human form.
Since the black metal ball had been refilled with new soul power, Theodore's hopes of leaving were
shattered. Moreover, Ulin had discovered this, and the young man outside would probably die.
Theodore withdrew his strength and let his body fall on the ground. A loud sound echoed in the space
as a deep black hole appeared on the ground.
Desperation coursed through Theodore when he realized that he couldn't get out.
What he had missed was that even though Ulin had infused another soul power into the metal ball, he
could not disperse the black flame that Darren had left there.
It had been three days since Ulin returned to the outer world.
"What a brat! How could he deceive me so easily?" Ulin used his index finger to flip the hair on his
forehead. His eyes were evil and terrible.
After leaving the diabolic beast space, he learned that Darren and the Water Kylin had disappeared. He
knew that he had been cheated.
Ulin was so furious that he searched the area for three days. His efforts were in vain as he failed to find
Darren and the Water Kylin.
As he had accidentally discovered the area, Ulin had no control. Thus, his Spirit Power was unable to
cover the entire region.
"Damn it! I'll kill you even if you hide at the ends of the earth!" Ulin said through gritted teeth.
In the cave at the top of the mountain
The pool was steaming.
A series of bubbles rose to the water surface in the pool seconds before two heads appeared.
"Master, you are so wise! Hiding at the bottom of the pool made it impossible for anyone to detect us
with their Spirit Power," the Water Kylin said with a smirk.
"The pool has a strong special restriction to protect its Spirit Power. This also makes it difficult for an
outside Spirit Power to break through. This is why he did not find us.
But, it's not a permanent solution. Once he returns and enters the pool, he will discover our hiding
place." Darren frowned. They had avoided being detected for a little while. However, the situation was
not looking good.
"It doesn't matter if we are discovered. We can always fight," the Water Kylin roared.
"Fight?" Darren glanced at the Water Kylin.
"Don't beat me, master! I won't fight if that's what you want," the Water Kylin blurted out when he saw
Darren's expression.
"No. You are right this time. If he finds us, we will have to use all of our powers and tricks to fight him,"
Darren said firmly. If Ulin discovered their hiding place, Darren and the Water Kylin would be left with
no other alternative except to fight.
Gradually, they returned to the depths of the pool.
Actually, they didn't hide at the bottom of the pool. Earlier, Darren and the Water Kylin had swum for
about ten kilometers, but they hadn't reached the bottom of the pool yet.
This time, they plunged further down. However, the intense pressure almost crushed them.
"This is enough, master. I can't hold on anymore," the Water Kylin said to Darren using his spiritual
sense.
"Almost there," Darren replied.
When they had first discovered the pool, Darren and the Water Kylin had observed that it was only a
few feet wide at the top. Now that they were exploring the bottom, they realized that the pool seemed to
have no end at all.
"Since we have to hide here for a while, why don't we move forward and explore what's in the pool?" This material belongs to .
the Water Kylin suggested.
"Okay. Hiding in one place is boring. Let's do it,"
Darren said.
They chose a direction and began marching under the black water.
After a full month, Darren and the Water Kylin found that the surrounding area was beginning to
narrow. Soon, they encountered a hard stone wall.
"Wow. Astonishingly, we have traveled thirty thousand kilometers." The Water Kylin was surprised.
As they didn't dare to use too much strength, Darren and the Water Kylin swam slowly.
"I think it's almost the end.
Can that man still find us?"
"Don't underestimate his Spirit Power. Once he gets into the pool, he will be able to detect us, even if
we are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilometers from him," Darren estimated.
"Okay. Then let's move forward and continue to explore."
The path narrowed as Darren, and the Water Kylin continued to move forward. Soon, they reached a
cave.
"What?"
After entering the cave, Darren immediately felt as though something was wrong.
"Master, did you notice it as well? It feels as if something terrible is ahead of us." The aura was so
intense that the Water Kylin couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes, it's scary, but the aura is so familiar,"
Darren replied with narrowed eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Darren suddenly discovered that this feeling of familiarity was coming from
the Ancient Void Battlefield.
"Water Kylin, do you still remember the closed cave in the Ancient Void Battlefield?" Darren asked.
"What cave? Oh, I remember! It's that cave that no one can open!" The Water Kylin seemed to
remember something and said, "Gee, this aura does feel similar."
"Let's walk forward and look," Darren responded immediately.
To come across a cave in this pool that released the same aura as the cave in the Ancient Void
Battlefield was too much of a coincidence for Darren to ignore. He wanted to investigate.
Unfortunately, after walking several kilometers, they found that a stone door blocked the entrance.
"The thing behind the stone door must have something to do with the cave in the Ancient Void
Battlefield," Darren said. As he neared, the feeling became stronger.
"You are right. I feel it too," said the Water Kylin.
Now, both Darren and the Water Kylin were curious about how the aura here matched the aura from
the cave in the Ancient Void Battlefield.
What was the connection between these two?
Driven by curiosity, Darren decided to explore the cave in the Ancient Void Battlefield first.
Darren activated the force of control to open the Ancient Void Battlefield. Then, they both stepped into
the Ancient Void Battlefield.
They went straight to the mysterious cave, hoping to find some clues.
What Darren didn't know was that the water of the pool could only block his Spirit Power. It couldn't
prevent the force of control from being detected.
The force of control was very special as it could create waves of rule power when activated.
Outside, in the vast green field.
After several days' searching, Ulin immersed himself in comprehending the true rules from Darren. As
long as he mastered them, his strength would significantly increase. When that happened, he would kill
Theodore before looking for Darren and the Water Kylin.
His goal was to kill the people from the Sacred Palace and return to the clan.
Partway through the comprehension, Ulin's eyebrows trembled as he felt a faint wave of rule power.
There were no other living creatures except him and Darren in this space. Who had released this rule
power? The answer was evident.
After careful examination, Ulin grinned wickedly and flew toward the mountain.
