Lord Of Martial Arts

"No, I won't."

After a long pause, the Bloody Shura's voice echoed in Darren's mind. His tone had been so cold that it sent a shiver down Darren's spine.

"Well, if you don't agree, you will stay in this state forever. Do you think you can survive then?" Darren negotiated.

"I have already regained most of my life aura. In ten years, the remainder will be restored, and I will be at my peak. You are of no value to me," the Bloody Shura said.

Darren was stumped. He didn't know this about the Bloody Shura. Now, he had nothing with which to continue the negotiation.

The Bloody Shura was on the verge of revival. Even if Darren withheld the dark-spirit crystals, he was destined to be resurrected.

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy you before you completely recover?"

"You don't have that power," the Bloody Shura remarked.

"You!" Darren was genuinely worried now. He couldn't convince the Bloody Shura to help him, nor could he destroy the Bloody Shura before he regained his powers.

All this while, Darren had waited eagerly for this critical point in the resurrection process as he had hoped to negotiate with the Bloody Shura. Unexpectedly, the Bloody Shura saw through Darren's intentions and did not compromise.

Now that the Bloody Shura had refused to help him, embarrassment coursed through Darren.

"Well, I respect your choice. I hope that you won't regret it." Darren had no choice but to exit the Ancient Void Battlefield.

When he stepped out, Darren found that the secret room was filled with Shura Force that was as thick as blood.

"What?!" Although astounded, Darren instinctively activated his assimilating power.

Buzz…

The space began to tremble, and Darren was pleasantly surprised to see that he could assimilate the Shura Force!

"What's going on?" Darren murmured as curiosity coursed through him.

Earlier, he had tried to assimilate the Shura Force in the Ancient Void Battlefield, but he had failed.

Now, he had succeeded in assimilating the Shura Force that had spread to the secret room. Darren couldn't understand what had changed.

"Perhaps it's because of the different rule systems," Darren speculated. Regardless of the reason, he continued to assimilate.

Three days later, Darren had absorbed all of the thick Shura Force.

At this moment, Darren felt unprecedentedly powerful. In fact, his body felt as if it would burst with all the strength it contained.

'Have I reached the Emperor Realm?' A smile tugged on

coursed through him. Now that he was free of both kinds of torment, he felt as though this moment was the most relaxed and happy in his life.

"Tell me how to get out of here," Yahya demanded.

At this moment, the Sea Spiritual King was stunned and didn't know how to reply.

"Did you dare to lie to me again? Huh?" Yahya was outraged.

"Please calm down, Emperor Yahya!" The Sea Spiritual King cupped his hands and said, "I didn't lie to you. I do know a way. But it's very risky as the human boy I allowed in controls the pass.

Although we will be affected by the storm of the hell, he won't. If we go over, I'm afraid that he will break the protective shield, and we will be tortured again."

Yahya paid close attention to the Sea Spiritual King's actions and secretly asked a master to detect his soul fluctuations to determine whether he was lying.

A soul that was more powerful than another could detect if someone was lying or not. Darren had used this trick before.

"You are telling the truth. Now, you only need to take me to that place. I have a way to persuade him."

"Persuade him? I don't think it's a good idea. Even though the human isn't a holy emperor yet, he has no emotions. It is almost as if he were made of metal. If you don't have something that will benefit him, you can't make him listen to you," the Sea Spiritual King explained with furrowed brows.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will let you suffer more than before," Yahya threatened. He had run out of patience by now.

"Please don't! I'll take you there."

Under such circumstances, the Sea Spiritual King had no other choice but to take Yahya to the pass.
