Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 866

After a few days of rest, Darren had finally recovered from his wounds.

During those days, he had not forgotten to practice his cultivation.

His progress had hastened ever since the strange stone in his head merged with his soul.

"It seems like I can progress faster than Finley now even though both of us have the talent of the Genuine Domain Degree," Darren murmured to himself.

But despite this, he knew that he still had a long way to go although he had the combat power to fight a senior holy warrior now.

Moreover, according to Chandler, the tribulation holy warriors—those who entered the Holy Realm by surviving tribulations, were much stronger than ordinary holy warriors.

Not to mention, there was still the Emperor Realm that stood above the Holy Realm. All cultivators aimed to reach the Emperor Realm.

In truth, it wasn't his goal to become a holy emperor. All he wanted was to have the power to kill the immortal.

Ever since that day, the immortal had disappeared completely, leaving no trace behind. Darren couldn't help but worry about Elsa.

Up until now, he had no idea whether she was still alive or not. The very memory of her always sent needles stabbing at his heart. The pain was still fresh in his mind, like an open wound that refused to heal.

Putting away such thoughts, he went back to his cultivation. Half a month later, everything was still going smoothly.

When suddenly, a loud rumble woke Darren up from his cultivation.

Boom!

He flew out of the room and into the sky where he had a better vantage point.

The black mist brewed along with the clouds, covering the world into darkness.

Darren thought something ominous was happening inside the forbidden area of Hiram the Great's halberd. But when he strained to look closer, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"What happened?" he wondered.

The black mist shot out a terrifying force that caught Darren by surprise.

"Where is it coming from? What the hell is going on?"

This kind of strength wasn't like the powers of Barnes or the first fiend ancestor, but it didn't mean it was inferior to them either.

Curious, Darren rushed towards it.

After flying for a while, he noticed several people were heading towards that direction, too. And once they were getting closer, he finally recognized Scott, Mathew, Hanson and several other senior holy warriors of the Sacred Palace.

Scott was the first to spot Darren.

"Darren, you are here."

"Do you know what happened?"

"The seniors said that they sensed the holy emperor's power," Scott answered solemnly.

The news surprised Darren. "What?!"

It was then that Chandler and the others flew over as well.

"Scott's right. That aura has indeed come from a holy emperor. But this one seems weaker than the usual," Chandler chimed in.

"Where does that direction lead to?" Darren asked.

For a moment, nobody replied. But then, a senior holy warrior spoke up. "If I'm not mistaken, the Space-time Palace lies in that direction."

A look of understanding dawned on Darren's face. "That's it!" he said. "But the dark-spirit crystals are with me. How can they resurrect the holy emperor's corpse?"

"That's exactly what we don't understand," Mathew pitched in. He was fully aware where the dark-spirit crystals were, and so it baffled him how they were all sensing the holy emperor's aura coming from the Space-time Palace.

Chandler frowned. He knew that the resurrection of the holy emperor's corpse would have devastating consequences for the human race. "This is indeed a grave matter. We must investigate this further before we discuss what all this means."

With that, the whole group flew at full speed.

A few hours later, Darren and the others were starting to sense several other powerful auras heading towards the Space-time Palace.

Before they knew it, a huge shadow loomed over them.
