CHAPTER 907 THE SLAUGHTER

Severe pain wracked through Darren's body, rendering him unable to move. His heart hammered

against his chest wildly that it threatened to explode.

"What happened?"

"Boy, stop right now. I'll kill you if you dare try to assimilate me." A rude voice broke Darren out of his

agony.

"Who are you? How can I stop?" The dragon blood and aura ran hot inside his body. It felt like he was

being boiled inside. But he didn't know how to control it.

"You must turn into a dragon to forcibly revert your dragon blood and aura." The voice urged him on.

Darren was completely at a loss on what was happening. Nonetheless, he transformed into a dragon

as instructed by the voice.

He let out a loud roar.

Upon his transformation, he let his dragon blood and aura flow.

"Ah!"

The process brought even more pain to his body, but he gritted through it. He let it wash over him, not

daring to stop the reversion.

The dragon blood and aura forcibly broke through his meridians.

A cold aura flowed out from the center of his heart, leaving an icy trail along his damaged meridians.

But it was a balm that soothed his hurt until his meridians were completely healed by this aura.

Everything settled down eventually.

"Young man, thank you so much." The voice was breathless from the strain.

Before Darren could begin his inquiries, the ancient golden roc finally arrived.

It landed in front of Darren. Its eyes were fiery with greed and anger.

It was said that the ancient golden roc liked to feast on creatures with dragon blood. In fact, the

powerful ones fed off from dragons before.

The ancient golden roc stared at Darren with its killing intent blazing around it. There was hunger in its

gaze as it looked at Darren. He would surely be a tasty treat. Darren had robbed a treasure from the

golden roc, so now the golden roc really wouldn't let him go.

Then the ancient golden roc spread out its wings, flapping it furiously.

A ray of light shot out towards Darren.

"Humph!"

Darren swallowed the last drop of the light red liquid, letting his aura reach its peak. His body glowed

red as his Shura Force surged inside him, threatening to exceed its limits.

He swung his mighty dragon tail.

Everything within its range was knocked off by its force.

The golden shadow suddenly appeared, but it was swept off by Darren's dragon tail. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Now, it flew several feet backwards.

But Darren didn't think that the force of his blow would be enough to defeat the golden roc. After all, his

strength was only that of a half-step emperor and was only temporary. Once it was gone, it would be a

dead end for him.

"It seems like I'm lucky enough to have met such a powerful being." Deep within Darren's heart, there

was a whisper.

"Use the inheritance skill of the Dragon Blood Clan to kill that bird," it crooned softly.

"Are you serious?" Darren was reluctant to do so. "There's no guarantee that I'll defeat him if I use the

inheritance skill."

"You idiot. Stop questioning me and just do what I say." The voice had turned furious.

Darren frowned, disliking the attitude shown towards him. But the voice sounded so sure of himself that

Darren didn't think much of it when he used the inheritance skill of the Dragon Blood Clan.

The once olive-black force surrounding the red dragon was suddenly divided into many parts. It kept

multiplying until the whole place was filled with the dragon's shadows.

"What is happening? Why is my inheritance skill so powerful?"

Darren was stunned by the outcome of his inheritance skill. He didn't expect to be able to create as

much as eighty thousand dragon avatars.

"It's him!" It hit Darren that the voice inside his heart was probably doing something to make all these

possible. No wonder it told him to use the skill.

He had so many avatars now, and once they would fuse together, Darren's strength would increase a

hundred fold. It would be terrifying.

"Fuse!" Just as when Darren was about to fuse his avatars together, a voice interrupted him.

"Idiot, use your avatars to kill the beasts coming at you. And now that you're strong enough, go fight the

golden roc."

Darren was rendered speechless again, realizing that the voice had a good point once more. He may

not like its attitude, but it made sense most of the time.

A loud howl pierced through the air.

Eighty thousand avatars charged at the beasts, heading for an imminent collision course.

All of the beasts were as powerful as the senior holy warriors.

It was obvious that Darren's avatars could slaughter those beasts easily. Their strength matched those

of a half-step emperor at the top level. They also contained the Bloody Shura Force and the

Augmented Attack Bloodline. The outcome was already inevitable.

In a few seconds, blood began to flow like a stream until it threatened to overflow.

"Now's the time to fight the golden roc."

The beasts were already dying while the golden roc was completely surrounded by hundreds of

avatars.

But Darren didn't follow the voice's advice to kill the golden roc this time. Instead, he used his

Assimilation Skill.

Then it hit him like a huge ocean wave, banging angrily at the shoreline rocks.

The beasts' immense talent poured like a colorful liquid into his head. It was an unstoppable torrent as

they all condensed in the mysterious crystal space.

"Hey. What are you doing? Fuse your avatars and kill that roc!" The voice in Darren's heart urged on.

But he simply shrugged it off, commanding his avatars to keep the golden roc surrounded. He ran back

frantically.

"You! Why are you running? Kill the roc!" The man in his heart was becoming frantic as well. "You're

such an idiot. With a strength like yours, you could crush that little bird. You're pissing me off."

Darren continued to pay no attention to him.

"Darren, are you okay?"

Chaz rushed over, worried.

Everything seemed to have happened too fast for him to properly comprehend. He would have come to

Darren's rescue, but it was all over before he could even move.

"Run!"

Darren didn't say anything else. He cast out his spiritual sense to order Chaz to run.

"Roger that!"

By this time, Darren had almost depleted his half-step emperor aura. He wasn't as fast as he was

before and his body was becoming weaker by the second.

Sensing the change in Darren's aura. Chaz hooked his arm into Darren's and half-carried the latter as

they fled. Since he was a four-tribulation junior holy warrior, he had them speeding away in an instant.

Only when they finally disappeared did the golden roc manage to escape Darren's avatars. By then, it

couldn't detect their aura anymore.

Fury clouded its face upon the realization that the two had escaped.

In its fury, it thrashed and smashed the mountains around it.

In the next few days, the ancient golden roc had lost all motivation to leave. It couldn't locate where

Darren was.

Another three days passed and a dozen men in elegant clothes arrived.

They were stunned by the sight of congealed dried blood ahead of them. It formed a vast blood-red

lake that seemed to have come from any horror books they had read.

"Oh my God! What happened in this Thundering Beast Land? How could the beasts be all dead? They

are all top-level creatures. Their strength is similar to that of a senior holy warrior. This isn't possible!"

"Who the hell did this? It's so horrible."

"We should go back. The boy who had been accidentally sent here is probably dead," a handsome

young man suggested. Fear shone in his eyes as he surveyed the entire bloody area.

"We can't go back! Our superiors had asked us to look for him, but we have nothing to report to them

yet. It's our city's fault that the boy is here at all so now we have to pretend to continue searching for

him. We'll come back in a few days. For now, let's just hang around here. Think of it as a sightseeing

tour. Let's not take too much risks."

The suggestion sounded enticing, so everyone else agreed. However, there were some minority who

were dissatisfied by the plan.

"Why did our superiors even ask us to look for him? Who is the kid anyway? Isn't he just a nobody? I

don't understand."

"I don't understand it either. I heard that he's just some bloke who learned the Holy Will and reached

the Holy Realm. He's only a junior holy warrior so I don't think he deserves to enter Holy City at all. If

he dies here, it must be heaven's will. Humph!"

"Well, you're one to talk. Since we're already here, let's just look around. Maybe there are some

treasures lying about."

This perked everyone's interest, diverting their attention from their task of finding the boy. In time, they

would have forgotten about him.
