CHAPTER 941 THE BATTLE OF TRAPPED BEASTS
Darren's words had everyone puzzled.
"Darren, shouldn't we look for the third gate?" Anthony asked.
"Everyone, please, just listen to me. It's not that we won't search for it anymore. We just have to wait
for it to appear automatically." Darren then smiled faintly. Everyone was reluctant at first but trusted him
enough to follow his instructions. They began to cultivate on the spot without further questions.
It was worth mentioning that Darren had placed the five warriors from the other cities on the periphery
and made sure that they surrounded him and his friends.
Time flew by until three months had passed.
During those times, everything was peaceful, but Darren knew that it wouldn't last. Something was
bound to happen soon because he could sense the aura of a beast approaching.
One day, something flashed by before them.
Suddenly, there was a bloody hole puncturing the chest of one of the warriors along the periphery. His
heart was instantly damaged beyond repair.
"Everyone, watch out!" Darren immediately opened his eyes and warily studied his surroundings.
Alarm rose among them and everyone began to look around with caution.
"Show yourself! You better be ready to fight us if you really want to assimilate us. We won't make it
easy for you," Darren shouted.
"Damn it! You've found it's an illusion!" a hoarse voice said.
"Do you think we are idiots? It's so obvious!" Darren sneered. owns this.
"You may be smart, but can you escape my illusion?"
A loud booming noise exploded in the air.
The earth trembled and dark clouds began to condense in front of Darren and the others. Slowly, it
formed a ferocious creature until it solidified.
"Human, now that you've seen my true appearance, you must die!"
the Dark Cloud Beast roared and rushed towards Darren and his companions.
"Kill him!" The group of warriors under Darren's command all had great strength that could match up to
Anthony's.
Four warriors hastily stepped forward and began using their unique skills.
There was a series of explosions.
Colorful lights painted the air, and an immense pressure shattered everyone's eardrums. With the
combined forces of the four warriors, they were neck to neck in battle with the Dark Cloud Beast.
'Indeed, the Dark Cloud Beast isn't all that strong, ' Darren mused. He assumed that the beast would
be as powerful as a normal five-tribulation junior holy warrior at most. Just one drop of the holy
emperor's power would be enough to kill him in an instant.
But the holy emperor's power was limited, so he had to choose wisely on when he should use it or else
he would regret using them all up.
"Anthony, please help them kill the beast. I'd rather like to get out of the illusion world as soon as
possible."
"So we really are in an illusion. Very well then, I'll get rid of that thing." Anthony gave Darren a slight
nod and then shot away.
As soon as he joined the battle, the Dark Cloud Beast had lost all sense of leverage. After several hits,
his aura weakened.
"That's amazing, Darren! You knew that it's an illusion all along." Laura walked over to Darren and
smiled charmingly at him.
"Did you forget that I have a master advising me?" Darren responded.
"Having a master help you is still no easy feat. You really are incredible. If it weren't for you, we would
have all died in the blood river. You are my savior!"
"I'm flattered." Darren smiled and looked up at the sky. With several powerful warriors surrounding him,
the Dark Cloud Beast was losing and his body was too broken to do anything else.
"Human, you have pissed me off!"
the Dark Cloud Beast howled brokenly and the whole world began to shake once more. Then
everything started to collapse. Fissures started to run on the surface and everything else was sinking
along the void. Soon, everything else would disappear.
"Go to hell!" the beast roared.
"No!" Darren shouted.
Darren suddenly had a bad feeling. The illusion was almost similar to the real world. Once it broke
down, its destructive power could definitely eliminate all of them.
"Darren, cut his head off! Don't let him break the illusion." The voice of the dragon ancestor came to
him.
"I understand."
With that, Darren transformed himself into a beam of light and flew towards the Dark Cloud Beast.
"You guys, block his escape while I kill him," Darren commanded sternly.
Anthony and the others immediately set off to do Darren's bidding. They had the Dark Cloud Beast
under siege with no way to flee. Darren seized the opportunity to deal a mighty blow on the creature.
There was an overwhelming explosion.
The immense power of the Bloody Shura Force collided with the head of the Dark Cloud Beast.
"No!"
the Dark Cloud Beast roared, unwilling to accept his defeat. He was so close to breaking the illusion
that would result to these humans' death.
But at the most critical moment, he was interrupted by a powerful force that came to take his life.
And with that, the beast exploded.
His body dissipated into smoke, rising up in the sky until it disappeared.
With the death of the Dark Cloud Beast, the illusion faded away and the whole world was restored to its
original condition.
When everything settled down, Darren and the others found themselves stuck inside a glass-like cage.
Their blood froze, however, when they looked outside. Countless of fierce beasts stared back at them
from the other side of the cage. They all had a look of amusement on their faces as if Darren and the
others were monkeys in a zoo.
These beasts and fierce birds were exactly the same creatures that had come into the tomb through
another passage before Darren and the others had arrived.
"These beasts are guarding the third gate!"
Anthony frowned and said, "No wonder the third gate is called 'The Battle of Trapped Beasts.' It turns
out we are the trapped beasts!"
Outside, the hideous creatures were becoming excited.
A rhinoceros-like creature then stepped forward and stood upright before them.
"Let me kill you, blah!"
Darren cocked his head to one side, frowning. "You're not from the holy emperor's tomb, so why do you
stop us here?"
He couldn't understand why these powerful creatures were guarding the third gate when they were
outsiders themselves.
"Humans! Do you think you're the only ones qualified to obtain the inheritance of the holy emperor?
How naive! Let me tell you this. The holy emperor is one-third beast. It's in his blood. This means we,
too, are qualified to obtain his inheritance!
The golden crows had told us the news of the tomb's opening. If we kill all the humans who enter the
tomb, then we'll have a greater chance of finding the inheritance. So now, you will all die!"
the rhinoceros roared ferociously.
"This guy is not weak. He might even be stronger than the ancient golden roc.
Beasts from the Thunder Beast Land are said to be powerful. Some are even as powerful as half-step
emperors.
So you should be careful, Darren. This rhinoceros has astonishing defensive powers. You should not
underestimate him. Even if my power is recovered, I'm not sure if I can kill him, but there is still a
chance that I can defeat him."
The dragon ancestor's warning echoed inside Darren's ears.
Back when the dragon ancestor still had his own body, he was the overlord of the Thunder Beast Land.
His only rival was the Grand Crow, who had amazing strength and speed.
Darren took his warning to heart. He dared not take it lightly.
"It seems like I have no choice but to use the holy emperor's power." Darren grinned.
