Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 690

The holy emperor's power had already been weakened by the stone hall but it was still potent enough to wound Darren and Hobson. If it weren't for the old man, they would have already perished.

"No. If it goes on like this, I myself will no longer be able to hold on." The old man's face grew serious. He used his finger to trace a circle in the air which expanded to reveal a hole.

"Get in," said the old man. He quickly entered the void with Darren and Hobson close behind.

After a few moments, the three men emerged from the darkness and found themselves in another stone chamber.

"This is the very heart of the Mythological Palace. We will be safe here unless it is destroyed." With these words, the old man cast a trace of rule power on the mirror wall in front of him.

The wall glimmered and gave off a gentle light. Suddenly, the surface was distorted and the men were met with a gruesome scene.

A golden figure was standing atop the Mythological Palace, brandishing his spear. Every time he would launch an attack, a large mass of land would crumble. The black mountains in the distance continued to crumble and the terrain was dotted with countless gullies that stretched over the whole expanse of the battlefield.

"It's the scene of the battle between the two strong martial artists!" Darren and Hobson stared at the image before them unblinkingly.

"Indeed. This is the only place I can go to see the outside world. To tell you the truth, only the lord is permitted to set foot in this place but I took a chance to bring you two in because everything here has become disorderly." As the old man spoke, he also stared closely at the wall before them.

"Wait. Why are we only seeing one man attack? Why can't we see the other warrior?"

Darren was confused. The mysterious old man was nowhere to be found.

"The emperor's soul cannot attack without being provoked first. Perhaps the mysterious man is too fast to be seen through the mirror wall," the old man explained.

"Wow!" Darren and Hobson were both amazed at the mysterious man's otherworldly speed.

They focused their attention back to the mirror wall and saw the lone shadow launching attack after attack without any hesitation. His power was felt throughout the entire space and made the ground tremble. The terrain continued to crumble and collapse and even the sky began to crack under the pressure of his energy.

Suddenly, an old man's figure appeared on the screen.

At first glance, he did not appear to be powerful. His hair was mussed up and he was covered with dirt and grime. His eyes were dull and muddy and he looked frail.

The emperor's soul shadow continued attacking. Each of his attacks bit into the earth with the ferocity like that of a wild beast's.

The mysterious old man appeared to be afraid, dodging the attacks by moving left and right slowly. Surprisingly, his slow speed rendered the shadow's attacks useless.

"That old man is just too powerful!" the short old man gasped in astonishment. The mysterious old man could effortlessly dodge even the attacks of an emperor's soul! His strength was beyond comprehension.

'The emperor's soul is capable of using at least half of the power of a holy emperor. The old man hasn't even made a move yet. If he does, it will probably completely suppress the emperor's soul, ' the short old man thought to himself.

The frightening scene outside continued, striking fear into the hearts of everyone who bore witness to it.

The holy emperor's power swept hundreds of thousands of kilometers and destroyed countless mountains. The cracks spread directly to the deserted place of the forbidden area.

"Oh no! It seems that the holy tombs have been destroyed!" The old man noticed that the scene on the screen rippled. It shifted to that of a graveyard.

Every tomb on the ground was hollowed out, and powerful figures stepped out from each of them.

Among them was a figure dressed in cyan holding a bronze bell.

There was also a man, intimidatingly large with only half a head. He had a bloody sword made out of bone in his hand.

Next to them, there was a blood-red figure that was wielding a spear.

They all looked towards the direction where the fight was and flew over there.

The fighting had broken most of the restrictions in the forbidden zone. There were no rules barring the soulless warriors who had risen from the tombs from travelling wherever they pleased either. They were free to roam wherever they wished.

Every time they flew over one place, the ground cracked open and gave way, revealing streaks of terrifying, dark-colored lightning.

The group of warriors moved towards the mysterious old man one by one.

A moment later, they arrived at the battlefield. Without any hesitation, the bronze bell, the bone sword, the blood spear... weapons possessing all sorts of tremendous power attacked the old man all at once.

The mysterious old man masterfully dodged all the attacks being hurled at him and disappeared.

The shadow still kept attacking with the emperor's light shining around his body like a golden aura.

Boom!

After a violent tremble, the mysterious old man reappeared.
