Chapter 921 The Dragon Ancestor''s Astonishment
After staying there for a while, everyone flew away.
The battle had just ended and Darren had shown his amazing strength. The battle was going to attract
some strong cultivators and fierce beasts. Hence, the best choice was to leave first.
"Darren, tell me the truth. Why did you risk your life to save me just now?" Laura, who had been flying
alongside Darren, moved closer to him.
"Laura, what do you want to know?" Darren smiled.
"That''s what I want to know. So, why?"
"Well... It''s always been my thing, you know? Even if we don''t know each other well, you''re my friend. It
has always been my instinct to protect my friends and loved ones," Darren exined.
Laura pondered for a while. "Instinct? You protecting me was instinctive? Well, now I''m a little sad... I
thought..."
Laura trailed off.
She was waiting for Darren to ask her to continue but Darren was too focused on flying.
"Humph!" Laura huffed when she couldn''t get Darren to follow along. She hung back a little and stayed
silent.
A few hourster
The group had reached a stone forest. At this time, Laura asked everyone to go down.
"Let''s just walk through this forest," Laura said.
"But why?" asked Arvin.
"Some strange natural Illusion Array is at work in this forest. If we fly, we may get lost and never find
our way around."
"Is it really so magical?" Darren asked curiously.
"Why don''t you try, Darren? But, be warned! If you get lost, I won''t be able to find you," Laura said with
a smile.
"Ah! Forget it. Laura, how far are we from the holy emperor''s tomb?" Darren asked.
"It''s just through this stone forest,"
Laura replied. Suddenly, she felt a contact bead on her move.
Laura frowned after hearing the message.
"What''s wrong? Is it from the elders?" asked Arvin.
"Yes." Laura nodded. "The elders say that something unusual has happened in the holy emperor''s
tomb."
"What''s wrong? Did the elders ask us to turn back?"
Laura shook her head. "The elders didn''t tell me what happened exactly. They didn''t ask us to go back
either. They just asked us to be careful. They also sent us some backup."
"Who are they?"
"Bah! I can''t take your incessant talking! You talk too much!" Laura was not pleased.
Hearing this, everyone understood that female disciple was part of the backup that they had sent. That
was why Laura suddenly became furious.
After walking through the stone forest for a while, Darren felt a tugging in his heart.
"Lad, you almost killed me. You must be punished!" The disapproving voice of the dragon ancestor
echoed throughout Darren''s head.
"Thank you very much, sir. Please take care of me in the future. With your help, I can do anything I
would need to in the eighteen cities," Darren replied.
"Bullshit! Do you know how much it cost me to take over? Thirty thousand years! Now, that''s all in vain.
And now you want to ask me for more help?" The dragon ancestor was in a rage.
"Sir, since you are so powerful, surely it is not such a big deal to lose thirty thousand years of
meditation."
"Your ttery will get you nowhere, boy. From now on, no more taking risks without my permission. It
will not only put your life in danger, but mine as well. And thanks to your recent stunt, I won''t be able to
take over for you for a while."
"Okay, I know. I will try not to take any more risks in the future," Darren said with a small smile.
"That''s more like it. Besides, why don''t you listen to me? I told you to focus on your sword. You have
just condensed the sword-god core, which is the perfect time to cultivate the sword-god intent. If you
miss this window of opportunity, you may never seed!
However, if you are willing to give up this powerful path of cultivation... Well, there''s nothing I can do
about it," said the dragon ancestor.
"Really? I won''t be able to cultivate the sword-god intent after this period of time?"RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Have I ever lied to you? What good would that get me if I do? Besides, only when you be
stronger will I be able to live in peace. I still hope that I cane back to the world one day," said the
dragon ancestor.
"You are right." The dragon ancestor was now living in his heart. They were on the same boat. He
would certainly not deceive him.
"All right. I will not use any other skills and I will concentrate on the sword intent."
"Really?" the dragon ancestor asked, a tinge of doubt creeping into his question.
It was such a simple task but it was very hard to do. Obviously, no one could resist the temptation of
using powerful forces.
"You have my word," Darren promised.
"Okay. To keep an eye on you, I will leave a trace of the dragon blood aura in your soul," said the
dragon ancestor.
"What? I don''t think that''s necessary."
Darren didn''t like the idea of anything touching his soul.
"What are you so afraid of, boy? Maybe you''re not going to be true to your word. That''s why you won''t
let me put a measly bit of dragon blood aura in your soul!"
Darren was speechless. He wondered whether the so-called sword-god intent was really that powerful.
"Well, we have to make a deal first. Your dragon blood aura can''t disrupt my normal thought process,"
Darren said.
"How can I disturb you? Don''t worry, I''m not letting my soul power in. You''d better lock in your senses
and enter the void state. I just need a few seconds."
Darren just shook his head and did what the dragon ancestor said.
Darren''s soul felt a sharp sting. Then, he felt something powerful entered his soul.
"Ha! Boy, you are too naive. You are so foolish that you even allowed me to pour power into your soul.
In a moment, you will no longer exist. You will be devoured by me!"
the dragon ancestor roared.
"What!" Darren shouted.
"I was just kidding. Don''t panic. Heh," the dragon ancestor said, chuckling.
"Fuck!" Darren said, "Why would you joke like that? You scared me! I could have killed you!"
"Nonsense! Now that my dragon blood aura is in your soul. You can''t assimte me at all. How can you
kill me?" said the dragon ancestor disdainfully.
"Look carefully at what is in my soul. As long as I activate some kind of power, you will be assimted
by it. Go on."
When the dragon ancestor heard this, he went into the depths of Darren''s soul and waspletely
stunned.
"What... What is that? A dodecahedral Fake God Character? Oh. It''s not fully developed yet... Oh my
god!"
Darren''s mind rang out with the dragon ancestor''s cries of astonishment.
