CHAPTER 725 A COMPETITION WITH HANSON XIAO

'The clay figurines of the Death Palace are so strange and powerful, yet the blue-skinned people from

the Space-time Palace are even more terrifying than them?' Darren thought to himself. He couldn't

imagine how powerful they could be.

"As far as I know, Space-time Palace has existed for a long time. It has passed through millions of

years from the Last Age to the present.

They are secretive and often attack the Aborigines Worlds. Aside from that, they will change places

every few decades when the resources are used up," with brows raised a little, Hanson explained to

Darren.

"But sir, I just killed a man with blue skin a few days ago. He was not very strong and I can say that he

was like a newcomer to the seven-star Grand Realm," Darren said, his brows raised in an unconvinced

expression.

"You don't know that the real fighting power of the Space-time Palace is not those blue-skinned men,

but many powerful killing weapons controlled by them. Those so-called weapons are actually the dead

masters," contradicted Hanson at once.

"When I was young, I had witnessed a battle. To suppress the junior holy warrior, the people from the

Space-time Palace exhumed a senior holy warrior's corpse from the relic and resurrected it. That was

the weapon they had used to kill the junior holy warrior instantly. What's more, it seems like an easy

task for them to resurrect a senior holy warrior's corpse," Hanson continued while shaking his head in

disbelief.

"Resurrect the senior holy warrior's corpse?"

Hearing this, Darren thought of the short old man he had met at the Life Forbidden Zone. That

particular old man also could resurrect the dead body using the Life True Rule.

"Sir, it means that they have mastered the Life True Rule?" Darren asked at once. He wanted to make

certain of his assumption more than anything else.

To Darren's surprise, Hanson shook his head and denied it.

"Among the rule cultivators, there are indeed some masters of the Holy Realm who have mastered the

Life True Rule that can resurrect corpses. But there is a limitation to the process of resurrecting. For

the corpses resurrected by the rule cultivators, once they gain a breath of life again, they will be voided

of emotions. Thus, they do not care about anything aside from killing—they will be transformed into

killing machines. Moreover, as far as I know, a rule cultivator who owns the strongest Life True Rule

just can resurrect the one below the level of the junior holy warrior.

According to these facts, the method of the resurrection of the Space-time Palace is not through the

Life True Rule at all," Hanson elucidated.

"If that was the case, it would be fitting to assume that the blue-skinned men from the Space-time

Palace are really powerful. But even so, I still think they are not as potent and skilled as the clay

figurines of the Death Palace," Darren uttered momentarily weighing the odds between his two equally

lethal enemies.

"Don't rush to your final conclusion. There's one more thing you need to know. Thousands of years

ago, when I lived in that era, it was said that by that time, the Space-time Palace had gotten three holy

emperor corpses.

Imagine that! How powerful the Space-time Palace would be if the three holy emperor corpses were

resurrected." Hanson got a little emotional as he was relaying that word-of-mouth to Darren.

In one million years from the Last Age, there were no two holy emperors existing in the same era

simultaneously as per recorded in each sect's history.

Taking the matter into consideration, since the Space-time Palace had controlled three emperor

corpses, it was equivalent to having grasped the top power that had lasted for millions of years. How

terrifying was that?

"So that's how it is? I must say that the instance the Space-time Palace can really resurrect the holy

emperor corpses that they can kill whomever they want." At the mention of such truth, Darren was

surprised too.

"We can't be certain of that. There are many things that we can't imagine in this world. Life itself is full

of uncertainties. The holy emperors might not be able to control everything," Hanson said indifferently;

his shoulders slumped in a sigh.

"You're right. After all, the holy emperor of our world is nothing compared to the more powerful things in

the vast expanse of space,"

Darren agreed with Hanson. In his memory, Darren had seen the portrait of an immortal, and he could

feel the incomparable power from the portrait.

Moreover, in history, there were many creatures from the outer space. Each of them owned strength to

destroy the world in just a flicker of a finger.

The dragon corpse from the Fire Cave, the Nine-headed Serpent killed by Barnes the Holy, the first

fiend ancestor, and many other bizarre beings were examples of such extraordinary creatures. All

these were extremely powerful and lawless — not to mention untamed and unharnessed.

"That's why you have to be careful in the future. But I don't think the Space-time Palace will use any

form of violence to deal with you. Try your best to avoid them, at least." C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Yes, I know that very well, and I will do as you say," Darren nodded in agreement with Hanson's

advice. He respected Hanson too much not to conform to his ideas and thoughts, and he was his

mentor after all.

"Let's go to the Void Space and let me test how much you've improved." Along with that suggestion,

Hanson waved his hand and disappeared with Darren.

In a span of a moment, Darren and Hanson stood face to face in the void.

"Come on, try to release your dark gold internal force," Hanson told Darren.

"Be careful, sir! I am going to initiate it! I might lose control," warned Darren.

Following Hanson's instructions, Darren concentrated his spiritual sense, soon enough, the dark gold

internal force was rushing toward Hanson — breakneck like greased lightning.

On the other end, Hanson didn't move a muscle, and by the way he just stood there fixated on the spot

where he was standing, it seemed that he didn't want to defend himself against the raging force.

"Watch out!"

When Darren saw the dark gold internal force had covered Hanson and was almost an inch away from

piercing him, his heart pounded quickly. He was afraid of hurting Hanson by any means.

However, after a while, the dark golden internal force retreated, and Hanson's robe fluttered and

remained unmoved.

"What? What had just happened? Is that for real?" Though a lot of questions were swirling on his head,

Darren was held speechless. His dark gold internal force could not shake Hanson at all, least even

wrinkle his garb.

Worse than that, Hanson's power was only at the seven-star grand warrior level, not yet a holy warrior.

Such truth disheartened Darren at once. Given the situation, Darren could not hurt Hanson with one

blow, which was enough to prove the strength of Hanson and Darren's frailty at the same time.

"Your dark gold internal force has not improved that much," Hanson uttered in dismay while shaking his

head.

"Alas, my blade and sword intents haven't been improved that much in the same manner. Moreover,

my dark gold internal force had once been weakened by a mysterious master. That's why it is not that

powerful," Darren reasoned out helplessly.

"It's not the main reason, Darren. You simply can't attack me because my dark gold internal force's

level is much higher than yours. Thus, your dark gold internal force will be assimilated by mine.

But, otherwise, I am telling you that you are not only good at using blade and sword skills. Let's fight!

Use all your strength," Hanson ordered Darren at one fell swoop.

"Okay," Darren nodded and turned into a dragon with a thundering roar.

In the blink of an eye, the massive body of a colossal dragon appeared in front of Hanson, making his

eyes brighten up in bewilderment.

Roar!

Not wasting precious time, and hell-bent upon proving to Hanson that he was potent enough, Darren

activated the demonic internal force and dragon blood aura, and gathered them all at the dragon's tail.

Bang!

Before Hanson could do anything to cover himself up, Darren swung his dragon tail, and the strike was

so fast that Hanson was taken aback.

Bang!

Another attempted attack, and Hanson clapped the dragon tail violently with his palm. Such a move

made the dragon quiver and struggle to free itself from Hanson's grip.

With an unstoppable blow, Hanson retreated two steps, and soon Darren's body rolled out.

"Haha, you did a great job when you transformed into a dragon. You are almost as strong as my

physical strength, and I commend you with that."

Hearing Hanson's words, Darren was speechless with astonishment. It was obvious that Hanson hadn't

used his full strength. But even so, Hanson's attack was so hard and horrible.

"The Heaven Burial."

Before Darren could react, Hanson took the initiative to attack him, which was the extreme sword intent

that he had comprehended.

"What was that? It's so scary!" Darren said with his mouth gaped open wide.

At the sight of the incoming assault, the sword intent Darren had sensed was unmatched except that of

Mathew's killing sword intent.

"The Earth Extinction!"

Hanson released one strike after the other, intent upon intent, and another horrifying blade intent in an

instant.

In the same manner, Darren owned both the blade and sword intents, but Darren's achievements in

cultivating both of them were much inferior compared to Hanson's. The horrible aura made the blade

and sword cores in his elixir field tremble violently.

Roar!

Following his horrific growl, Darren gathered all his strength and threw out a counterattack.

Bang! Bang! Bang.

In the void, the sky above them glowed brightly, as the power of various colors dispersed profusely.

But unfortunately, Darren's attack was quickly defeated by Hanson's blade and sword intents and was

deviated towards his direction and about to land on Darren in an attack — like his intent was killing him.

The powerful aura sent shivers down Darren's spine. He didn't even have the mood to dodge.

"Your blade and sword intents alone are enough to make me feel like facing an inferior holy warrior. I'm

afraid that your real strength is on par with Auberon's." While saying these words towards Hanson,

Darren was shocked.

At such a critical moment, a dark gold internal force occurred out of nowhere and crushed the blade

and sword intents that were falling towards Darren. After the attack, everything in the Void Space

resumed to its peaceful state.

"Haha, have you felt it? There is still a long way to go for you." Hanson smiled faintly. But the next

moment, his face twitched, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you all right, sir?" Taking long and quick strides, Darren dashed forward at Hanson's side, his eyes

filled with horror and panic.
