CHAPTER 995 ASTONISHING DISCOVERY

In the Primitive Tribe

Darren, the avatar, and the old man came to a secret chamber.

In the middle of the chamber was the Shura's corpse.

"Darren, I'm really sorry that I robbed your Shura's corpse," the old man apologized.

"It's okay. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have made friends with you. Besides, I killed the spiritual beast you

raised before, so we're even." Darren smiled.

"Ha-ha. You're right. I have already sent your two subordinates into the tribe."

"Thank you so much," Darren replied.

The old man nodded back at him. Then he sighed, "You know, I don't know if Talon really had a hidden

reason for killing those people. It has been difficult for me to come to terms with his death."

The old man still could not let it go. He had believed in what Talon said at the last moment.

"Forget him. He is just a vile guy," the Rule Soul Avatar said.

"What do you mean? Do you know something?" the old man asked.

Then, the Rule Soul Avatar briefly explained their plan, and told the old man that his Spirit Power had

detected that Talon had lied. After hearing that, the old man was relieved.

"By the way, avatar, could you examine this corpse to see if I can obtain a stronger Shura Force from

it?"

Darren knew that no one was better than the Rule Soul Avatar in studying objects. Thus, if he

examined the corpse, he might find something useful.

"Sure." The Rule Soul Avatar nodded his head and then said, "You can go and cultivate while I take a

look at the corpse. After I finish, I will come to you."

"Okay." Darren agreed. He was about to leave when the Rule Soul Avatar stopped him.

"My real body, I hope you can promise me that you will never think of merging with me again." The

avatar was very concerned.

Hearing this, Darren smiled and said, "Don't worry. We are destined to be separated and to live as two

independent creatures. You can count on me. Moreover, you are so much more powerful than me.

Even if I want to do so, rest assured that I don't have the ability to assimilate with you."

The Rule Soul Avatar was stunned for a moment. He then answered coldly, "You will be more powerful

than me one day. I hope you will still remember your promise by then."

Then, the Rule Soul Avatar bowed towards Darren.

Darren hurriedly held up his avatar and said, "I will never break my promise. Never."

"Thank you," the Rule Soul Avatar said as he nodded.

"By the way, can you help me clear up my confusion?"

"Go ahead."

"I know we have shared memories, and you remember everything I have experienced. Can you recall

what I saw in the abandoned well?"

"Do you mean the scene where you and the other man who looked exactly the same as you fought for

life and death?"

"Yes, exactly!" Darren said in an excited tone.

The Rule Soul Avatar went silent instantly. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Darren's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Then he mustered up all his courage to ask, "Could it

be the two of us?" Darren's heart was pounding.

Only when he saw his avatar fall silent did he suddenly realize the possibility.

The Rule Soul Avatar quickly changed his face and denied it at once.

"No. Don't forget that I am part of your soul. Once your soul dies, I will also die. It is impossible for us to

fight against each other," the Rule Soul Avatar said while looking down.

Darren felt reassured when he heard this.

"You're right. But who could it be?" Darren frowned.

"In fact, that scene has also puzzled me for many years. After analyzing it again and again and cross-

examining every detail of all of our experiences, I have to come to the conclusion that it doesn't make

sense at all. However, it is possible that it had happened," the Rule Soul Avatar replied.

"Oh, really? Tell me more," Darren urged.

"I don't know yet, but I can tell you that it must have something to do with your arrival," the Rule Soul

Avatar said.

"Do you mean my birth on the Lothlann Continent?"

"Yes, it's related to your arrival on this continent. But with my present ability, I am unable to infer the

relation. I will inform you as soon as I gathered more information," the Rule Soul Avatar promised.

"Okay." Darren nodded. Then, he remembered something and immediately said, "By the way, I met the

witcher ancestor. He told me that the real catastrophe of the Lothlann Continent in the later ages was

not the fiend from outer space, but me. Do you know what he meant?"

Hearing this, the Rule Soul Avatar trembled with anxiety that the silver light in his eyes became

unstable.

"Uh... no, I don't,"

he said coldly after a while.

Darren said nothing more. After all, the avatar was not a god or an immortal, so he could not know owns this.

everything.

Darren came out of the chamber and went on to cultivate quietly for a month.

The old man had offered him a lot of resources that contained the ancient spiritual energy that could

help speed up his cultivation. After a few weeks, he was already on his way to the Holy Realm.

At that point, Darren was in a dilemma.

'Should I comprehend the Holy Will or survive the tribulations to reach the Holy Realm?' he deliberated.

After a moment of contemplation, Darren chose the latter because it was a rare opportunity to become

a tribulation holy warrior that he would not miss it.

Although Darren would return to his previous cultivation base and wouldn't be a tribulation holy warrior

anymore once the test was over, he would still gain a lot of valuable experience by trying the other

method to reach the Holy Realm.

"Avatar, do you know the way towards becoming a tribulation holy warrior?"

Darren asked the avatar using his spiritual sense.

The Rule Soul Avatar's deducing ability was unparalleled. He knew all the cultivation ways, including

martial arts cultivation and rule cultivation. Thus, he naturally knew how to become a tribulation holy

warrior.

Without hesitation, the Rule Soul Avatar sent a large amount of information to Darren's brain and gave

him a stone.

"Can this stone directly trigger the thunder punishment?" Darren asked while he held the stone in his

hand.

"Yes, you can use it. I will protect you from any thunder," the avatar said.

"You don't have to protect me. I will gain more power after undergoing the thunder punishment."

"All right."

Then, Darren began to prepare for becoming a tribulation holy warrior.

He flew out of the Primitive Tribe and came to an uninhabited island.

Carefully, he searched the deserted island, but didn't find any powerful wild beasts. Then, he started to

activate the thunder punishment stone.

Crack!

A giant spark of dark red lightning was discharged in the sky.

Darren was confused because he had not completely triggered the stone, thus it could not have drawn

the thunder punishment. There must be a reasonable explanation for the sudden appearance of the

thunder punishment.

'Is there anyone else who is undergoing the tribulation?' Darren was baffled. He looked around but did

not seem to find anyone.

Boom!

A thick dark red lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck down the center of the island.

Darren looked up at the sky and found traces of black lightning among the dark red one.

"Wait a minute! It can't be. Isn't that the aura of the thunder punishment for Conflicting Cultivation?"

Darren was astounded.

"How could there be thunder punishment for Conflicting Cultivation in the ancient times? It was

absolutely impossible!"
