Chapter 1096 A Battle With Blood And Tears (Part One)


    The battle between Darren and the first fiend ancestor was inevitable.


    "I''ll kill you this time!"


    Darren roared as his body turned crimson-red, and his de and sword intents gushed forward.


    With a malicious grin, the first fiend ancestor stormed toward Darren. He madly scratched and tore


    Darren''s de and sword intents to pieces.


    ''He is much stronger than before.''


    Darren was astounded. The first fiend ancestor had collected five body parts, and he used only his


    physical strength to resist Darren''s de and sword intents.


    Although shocked, Darren didn''t despair. On the contrary, renewed determination surged within him.


    While the first fiend ancestor attacked his de and sword intents, Darren released his Shura Force. In


    the blink of an eye, the force surrounded and bombarded the first fiend ancestor.


    "To me, you are no better than an ant!"


    Although the first fiend ancestor was forced back by the Shura Force, he wasn''t injured. So, he

    disdained Darren''s powers.


    "Really?"


    Darren sneered as he quietly summoned and released his dark gold internal force.


    Swish, swish, swish...


    The dark gold internal force pierced through the first fiend ancestor''s blood-red scales and reached his


    bones.


    "Roar!" The agony coursing through him didn''t lessen the first fiend ancestor''s fighting power. On the


    contrary, the pain seemed to have increased his madness.


    So determined was he to annihte this human that the first fiend ancestor unleashed his strongest


    skill. Soon, the entire sky filled with overwhelming Killing Rule.


    The sky turned into a Killing Abyss.


    Darren''s expression turned grim. Now that the first fiend ancestor had activated the Killing Abyss Skill,


    Darren''s attack would backfire if he used a bit of killing intent. This was something he had experienced


    before.


    What also astounded Darren was that the first fiend ancestor''s Killing Abyss Skill was more powerful


    than before.


    For a split second, he debated over which attack method to use. Then, he quietly activated the Nine


    Changes of the Demon.


    He had determined that only this powerful skill could counteract the threat of the Killing Abyss Skill.


    After he activated the Nine Changes of the Demon to the eighth change, his body started to transform


    into the fiend, and the effect of the Killing Abyss Skill reduced significantly.


    The only regret was that Darren couldn''t trigger the ninth change as he hadn''t fullyprehended it in


    the outer world. What heprehended in the Virtual Battle Space had long since faded.


    To activate the eighth change to fight against the Killing Abyss Skill was already quite awesome to


    Darren. If he hadn''t mastered this cultivation skill, the first fiend ancestor would probably have defeated


    him in minutes.


    "Not bad!" the first fiend ancestor sneered.


    The killing intent in the Killing Abyss was as rich as seawater.


    Darren tried hard to break through the sea of killing intent and fight with the first fiend ancestor directly.


    He figured that this tactic would increase his chances of victory manifold.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The two figures shed rapidly, exchanging tens of thousands of blows with each breath.


    A momentter, w marks covered Darren''s body, and he was catapulted away by the first fiend


    ancestor.


    The first fiend ancestor was still stronger than Darren.


    Buzz...


    At this time, the space began to tremble, and a powerful Witcher Power from the forbidden area rushed


    into the Killing Abyss.


    The power of the Killing Abyss Skill was further suppressed by the Witcher Power. The pain Darren


    suffered lessened more.


    "Kill!"


    After this momentary respite, Darren felt energized. He didn''t waste another moment and rushed


    forward.


    His de and sword intents surrounded the first fiend ancestor, and then the Shura Force and dark


    gold internal forceunched a series of attacks.


    Bang! Bang! Bang


    Light streaked across the sky and dispersed into fragments.


    However, the first fiend ancestor remained calm despite Darren''s attacks, and his thick fiendish aura


    continued to bombard Darren.


    All the living beings on the Lotnn Continent looked to the sky when they felt the violent and dark


    power.


    "Is the end of the world nearing?"


    "Who is that young man in purple? He is like a god."


    "That''s Darren! He''s fighting the first fiend ancestor!"


    With widened eyes and bated breaths, they watched the battle, hoping that the powerful young man


    would defeat the first fiend ancestor.


    In a cave thirty thousand kilometers from the range of the forbidden areas


    "Brother, Darren is fighting the first fiend ancestor." Hanson''s voice wasced with concern as he


    reported to his brother.


    "Yes."


    Mathew nodded as he thoughtfully nced at the sky. Suddenly, an intense killing sword intent filled his


    body.


    "Shall we help him now? Darren might be in danger if we dy," Hanson said anxiously.


    "No, not yet."


    Mathew shook his head in disagreement.


    "Why? Are we going to watch Darren die?" Hanson''s brows furrowed as he turned to face his brother.


    He seemed displeased with Mathew''s decision.


    "Take it easy, Hanson. Although our strength has increased significantly, we are still weaker than


    Darren. How can we fight the first fiend ancestor? It would benefit Darren greatly if we jump into the


    battle when the first fiend ancestor least expects it."


    "Well! That makes sense. I do have a question. Can your killing sword intent contend with the first fiend


    ancestor''s Killing Rule?" Hanson asked.


    "No, my killing sword intent evolved from the Killing Rule, which is one level lower. However, if I


    secretly attack the first fiend ancestor with the Killing Sword Abyss, I will have a high chance of


    sess. As the Killing Rule can''t suppress my sword intent, I can give full y to my skill," Mathew


    said.


    "That''s good. The first fiend ancestor will be less vignt when Darren is in grave danger. Then, I will


    attack the first fiend ancestor from the front, and you can attack him from the back."


    "Well, that''s settled. Let''s move closer now. But, remember to hide your aura as the first fiend ancestor


    is very sensitive. He can easily sense us."


    "Okay."


    At the other end of the space, Darren''s battle with the first fiend ancestor continued in the sky.


    After about an hour of fighting, Darren became weaker as many parts of his body had been torn apart.


    "Roar!"


    As sheer desperation coursed through him, Darren transformed into his dragon form to increase his


    physical strength.


    Then, he concentrated his strength on the dragon tail and swept it at the first fiend ancestor.


    The first fiend ancestor roared and grabbed Darren''s dragon tail. With his immense strength, he was


    able to lift Darren and rattle him around as though he were a rag doll. Darren''s dragon body was like a


    long whip in the first fiend ancestor''s hand; every time he shook Darren, many cracks appeared in the


    void.


    "Oh, what should we do? That young man is no match for the first fiend ancestor even after he


    transformed into a dragon."


    "God, please, please let him survive."


    Millions of humans sighed as hopelessness filled their hearts.


    Crack, crack...


    Countless bolts of lightning shed across the sky. Soon, the first fiend ancestor''s attacks had badly


    mangled Darren''s body.


    As Darren was only a half-step emperor, with the strength of the middle stage of the Emperor Realm,


    he was far weaker than the first fiend ancestor. He was thus, destined to lose this battle.


    "Human, I have finally subdued you. Now, I will kill you."


    In a sh, the first fiend ancestor flew toward Darren''s dragon neck. Before he could do anything, a


    long scarlet w pierced Darren''s chest.


    Sizzle...


    The first fiend ancestor''s w corroded as soon as it came in contact with Darren''s dragon blood aura.


    But the pain was nothing to him. If he could push just a little more, he could crush Darren''s heart.


    Darren''s life was in grave danger.


    At this moment, many memories shed through Darren''s mind.


    He knew by now that this was a sure sign of the omen of death.


    Whoosh!


    At this crucial moment, another dark gold internal force mmed into the first fiend ancestor''s arm.


    This dark gold internal force was weaker than Darren''s. However, as the first fiend ancestor was not


    expecting it, the collision repelled him a few feet. Now, he was no longer close enough to touch


    Darren''s heart.


    "Darren, run!"


    Hanson shouted as he squared his shoulders and prepared to face the first fiend ancestor.


    Darren, who was barely conscious, forced himself to move to a safe distance.


    "Do you want to die?" The first fiend ancestor directed a strong fiendish aura toward Hanson.
