Chapter 684 Let Them Fight One Another
The terrifying lightning violently struck the short old man.
He then subsequently forced out his Life True Rule to repair his damaged body. However, the speed of
the repairing process was no match against the speed at which his body was being destroyed.
Both Darren and Hobson stood frozen in astonishment—they did not even dare think ofing close
to the thing. They highly suspected that once the blood red lightning touched them, they would be
doomed to die a horrific death in an instant.
The old man''s face was contorted in misery.
"Why are you punishing me? Why!" the old man dolefully cried out. "I have been managing the
Mythological Pce for a hundred thousand years. Is this what I get for my service? My child was
killed! Why can''t I take revenge? Ignorant fool! You made the most foolish rules in history!"
The old man continued to roar at the dark emptiness behind the stone gate, letting out his rage and
indignation at the cruel and unfair predicament that he was facing.
As the lord of the pce, he had treated everyone with a degree of courtesy that did not fall short on
being fair. But that being said, there were still others in the world who were ungrateful to his deference,
vicious people. The old man found the fact that the first lord of the pce decided to make a rule in
which all the seeding lords could not kill anyone to be extremely unreasonable.
Another sh of blood red lightning appeared from the darkness, directly suppressing the old man''s
spiritual soul. The old man''s entire body convulsed that even his Life True Rule was rendered useless.
"Sir!"
Darren''s heart ached for the old man. Even as a junior holy warrior, the old man had treated them as
any kind elderly would. He should not be punished like this.
Be that as it may, Darren would be powerless faced against the frightening blood red lightning. He
could not save the old man even if he wanted to.
A few momentster, a bloody character that read "sinner" in ancient writing came into sight and
mmed into the old man''s body, bringing him down to the ground. He then started to disappear,
presumably to be brought to a different space.
"I will be sentenced to eight thousand years of imprisonment for the two crimes I havemitted. You
must be careful, young men."
The trembling voice of the old man echoed before hepletely vanished.
Only Darren and Hobson were left in the stone hall.
"What the hell are the dumb rules? Damn it!" Hobson''s face was scrunched up into a spiteful scowl. He
swung his spear violently against the wall to vent out his anger.
"The first lord has been dead ages ago. He had left those rules for this pce. We can''t really me
the rules because rules don''t have a mind of their own. They just operate ording to the way the first
lord had set them. Our anger ispletely useless in this situation," Darren said as he calmed down.
"He is being suppressed by the rules. We can''t save him. Those three bastards outside will definitely
Without the help of the old man, it would be too difficult for them to fight against the three martial artists
who were in the Holy Realm.
"They won''t dare toe in any time soon. We still have some time."
"The lord said that he would be put in prison for eight thousand years because he hadmitted two
crimes. The bastards outside are not going to wait for eight thousand years," Hobsonmented and let
out a dispirited sigh.
"Wait a minute!" Darren paused and thought for a moment then said, "The lord just helped us kill the
dwarf. Why was he punished for breaking two rules? What was the second rule?"
His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion as he asked himself the question.
Hobson''s face also fell into a frown as he tried to recall what second rule the old man broke.
"From what I remember, when you went to practice, he also left in a hurry. He entered that gate,"
Hobson said, pointing at the stone gate of the site where the body of the holy emperor was being kept.
Darren pondered over the information for a short while, brows still furrowed and lips pressed together in
concentration. All of a sudden, his face changed and he then immediately walked towards the stone
gate.
Standing in front of the stone gate, Darren released his Spirit Power in an attempt to break through it.
Just like a greedy giant beast, it just kept absorbing Darren''s Spirit Power for a long time before it then
finally opened.
"Just stay here and wait, Hobson. I''ll go and have a look inside." With these words, Darren disappeared
behind the stone gate.
"What''s going on? Let me have a look too!" Hobson was about to follow after Darren, but the stone
gate suddenly closed.
The sea of blood was still surging.
This time, there was no old man by his side. Darren stood on the shore as the aura of the blood sea
suppressed him to the point that he almost could not breathe.
He had no doubt that if he took a step forward, he would burst into a bloody mist and die.
Darren narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. A man was still tied up by countless chains
over the blood sea. Several figures with frightening auras were kneeling on the ground under the
chained man.
"There were eight people kneeling before, but now there are only seven of them kneeling!" Darren
counterchecked to see if he had counted right and proved that his conjecture was indeed correct.
The short old man really stole a senior holy warrior''s body from this ce!
This was certainly what the old man meant when he said that he would be punished formitting two
crimes.
"The lord heard what I said about Finley, so he went to steal a holy body for me. He went here to steal
the body of a senior holy warrior. Once Finley gets the holy body, I don''t have to be afraid of those
people anymore!" Darren eximed, suddenly ovee with excitement.

However, the old man was now under suppression and Darren had no idea where to find the holy body
that he had taken away.
If he gave the body of the senior holy warrior to Finley, how powerful would his fighting ability be?
Darren then dashed out and told Hobson what he had found out. They began the search for the body of
the senior holy warrior.
However, fortune was not on their side. After ten days of searching, they were no closer to finding the
body than they were on the first day of their search.
They had searched even the small space where the iplete corpses were ced but to no avail.
"The holy body must have been hidden by the lord. And before he had the chance to give it to me,
those bastards rushed over. Perhaps the holy body is inside his spatial treasure."
Darren thought this was the only possible reason he and Hobson had not found it after searching for so
long.
Hobson sighed. "If only we could save him."
"Actually, I think we have the chance to save him," Darren stated.
"What? Tell me!" Hobson was overjoyed.
"I found this while searching for the holy body." Darren took out an ancient scroll from his Space Ring.
Hobson took the ancient scroll from him and nced at the text.
It was the assessment rules and regtions for the lord of the pce.
It stated that once a new leader appeared, the previous leader would be able to leave the Mythological
Pce.
There was also some information about the previous leaders. Only a few of them had left the
Mythological Pce. Most of them had been suppressed to death because they had tried to break free
from the road of the holy emperor''s heart.
For hundreds of thousands of years, even longer, every leader of the pce had stayed at a ce
where there was no life. Even strong martial artists who were in the Holy Realm would not be able to
stand loneliness. Many of the lords grew desperate and decided to get out at the risk of their lives.
At a certain point in those lords'' life, they felt that istion and loneliness was a fate worse than being
punished to death. At the end of it all, they were still only humans who cravedpany as any human
being did when isted for so long. They could not do anything about it.
"As long as a new lord shows up, the former lord will be freed. The so-called sin will be lifted," Darren
remarked.
As long as someone else took charge of the pce, the old man would stop being suppressed and he
could finally get out.
"So what you''re saying is either one of us needs to take part in the assessment? Which of us should it
be?" Hobson directed his gaze downwards and shook his head. The most basic requirement of
bing the lord of the pce was to get into the Holy Realm. He knew that it would be impossible for
him and Darren to reach the Holy Realm in just a short period of time.
"Humph. We can''t take part in the examination, but we can let the three bastards outside to do it." A sly
smile appeared on Darren''s face.
"What do you mean?" Hobson asked, confused.
"Those three outside are extremely greedy. They''re not aware of the disadvantages of bing the
lord of the Mythological Pce. If we get the information out to them, they will surely fight for the
chance of bing the lord," Darren calmly exined.
"Yes, you''re right! That''s a clever idea!" Hobson jumped with joy. "I''ll go talk to them right now."
"Wait." Darren sternly looked at Hobson and said, "Are you out of your mind? The master of the Golden
Sacred Sect is very cunning. If you go straight to him and tell him about it, he must be suspicious. He
might even kill you on the spot."
"Then what should we do?"
"I have a n. Maybe I can even let them fight one another."
Darren confidently smirked. He already had the perfect and well thought out n pictured inside his
mind.
