Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1099 Eight-Tribulation Barnes

Outside the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren returned to his human form. He had been so severely injured that he barely had the strength to remain conscious, let alone struggle with the first fiend ancestor.

"Human, let me show you what I can do at my peak!"

The first fiend ancestor didn't kill Darren. Instead, he seized him and took him to a forbidden area. Bang!

He unleashed intense fiend power and attacked the ancient palace.

The old palace shook and trembled like a leaf in a terrible storm. Soon, cracks appeared everywhere, and a dust-haze blotted out the sun. Now, only the remaining Witcher Power was preventing the old palace from collapsing.

Bang!

It wasn't long before the remaining Witcher Power weakened and dissipated under continuous bombardment from the fiendish aura.

Boom!

The forbidden area that had stood for millions of years collapsed.

"Roar!"

A bloody-red body part flew out of the forbidden area and quickly merged with the first fiend ancestor.

Now, the first fiend ancestor had integrated six body parts into one. As a result, his strength increased exponentially.

Even though he hadn't, as yet, combined his remaining body parts, the aura emitted by the first fiend ancestor was already almost as strong as that of a warrior who had reached the Super Emperor Realm.

"Since you are not the only destroyer in the fifth crisis of this world, it doesn't matter how strong you become. Even if you regain all your power, you can't escape death,” Darren stated.

The first fiend ancestor knew that there was another destroyer.

"Well, that person needs the World Essence, but I don't. So, we have no conflict of interests.”

"Do you believe that he will spare you just because there is no conflict of interests? You are too naive," Darren sneered.

"Human, you are too weak to understand.”

"Really? You are doomed even if the other destroyer chooses not to kill you." At this moment, Darren appeared relaxed. Even though he was gravely injured, his eyes danced with joy. This was beyond the first fiend ancestor's expectation.

"You bastard..." Before he could finish his sentence, the first fiend ancestor's face contorted, and he quickly retreated.

Once he steadied himself, he found that the human he had captured had disappeared.

"Roar!"

He looked around cautiously but did not find any trace of the human.

Boom!

At this moment, a crisp sound was heard, and a sudden sharp pain surged in the first fiend ancestor's head.

The first fiend ancestor whipped around. His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw that a golden-haired monkey was smiling at him

The monkey bent two fingers and knocked the first fiend ancestor's head again. This time, a painful lump formed on the first fiend ancestor's head.

"You bastard! I've told you many times not to be so arrogant. Now, are you afraid?" The monkey made faces as if he was teasing a child.

Eventually, the monkey stopped and turned his attention to Darren, who was dying and said, "You should go and recover as soon as possible since you are injured so gravely. Don't just stand here and watch. There will be a bloody scene later. Do you hear me?"

"It seems that you have become a powerful man!" A relaxed smile hung on Darren's pale face.

"Of course. I'll slap him for you. Now go and heal your injuries. Don't die here," Barnes instructed just before he turned and flew back to the first fiend ancestor.

Smack!

A slap left five bloody marks on the first fiend ancestor's face.

For some baffling reason, the first fiend ancestor just stared at Barnes with a ferocious expression. He didn't resist or dodge.

"Well, it seems that you are not convinced!"

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

The first fiend ancestor's face was bloody and unrecognizable after several thousand slaps by Barnes.

"Argh!"

The first fiend ancestor let out a painful cry.

"Fight back! Why aren't you hitting me back?" Barnes was as arrogant as a hooligan.

"That was fun to watch. But for now, I'll leave him to you, Barnes. I need to heal myself, or I'll really die," Darren said.

"Go ahead. I want to have some more fun here.” Barnes waved his hand impatiently.

In the Ancient Void Battlefield, many huge cracks were scattered across the wasteland where Barnes had been staying.

Finley stood in the middle of the wasteland, dumbfounded.

Darren's figure suddenly materialized in front of him.

"Don’t just stand there. Help me to heal my wounds.”

"Okay." Finley nodded blankly. Then, he turned and poured his spiritual energy into Darren's body. Four hours later, Darren recovered enough to begin healing himself.

Now that Darren wasn't in a critical condition, he could afford to focus on other things. He raised his head, looked at Finley's expression, and asked, "Why are you absentminded?"

"You have no idea how strong that monkey is!" Finley murmured.

"Ha-ha, as he has assimilated the Inner Fiend, he is now an eight-tribulation senior holy warrior. So he is strong." Darren smiled.

"No, he is stronger than I estimated. Damn it. I almost died when he sneezed!" Finley replied. After a brief pause, he added, "Darren, I'm so envious of him. What should I do?"

His drooping shoulders and downcast eyes showed how miserable Finley felt.

This reminded Darren of the time when he first met Finley.

At that time, he was like a philistine.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you want to increase your strength, all you have to do is cultivate.” "Cultivate? Even if I cultivate for another one hundred thousand years, I still won't have Barnes’ current strength.” Finley sighed.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You are now a half-step emperor at the top level. Sooner or later, you will become a holy emperor. That reminds me. How did you improve your cultivation base so fast?" Darren asked.

"Ha-ha." Finley smirked and added, "I have a secret.”

"What's it? Go on, tell me.” Curiosity coursed through Darren when he saw the mysterious expression on Finley's face.

"I have established connections with my real body."

Darren's eyebrows shot up, and his mouth fell open when he heard this.

"You have connected with your real body? Is your real body still in the Primitive Wilderness? How strong is he?" Darren couldn't help but rattle off several questions.

"Of course, he is still in the Primitive Wilderness. And I don't know how strong he is now. He must be very powerful, anyway. But, it seems that I have unilateral connections with him. He hasn't noticed me yet. If I didn't have this link, do you think my cultivation base could have improved so fast?

After I established a connection with him, I realized that I could watch his view for a while every day. This has helped me to observe some very magical rules or laws, resulting in the quick improvement of my cultivation base. Unfortunately, time is too short. I've got only nine seconds a day,"

Finley explained to Darren.

"Wow, that is so awesome! If you could watch his view longer, then you could easily become stronger!" Darren patted Finley's shoulder and felt happy for him.

"I want to, but I'm scared. If my real body finds out, he will kill me," Finley said.

"Perhaps not. After all, your real body has no reason to kill you.”

"He is already a god in the Primitive Wilderness. He doesn't need a reason to do anything. I have to be careful.”

"You are right. It is better to be careful.” Darren nodded.

"It is a good thing that Barnes is watching the first fiend ancestor. Now, it will be next to impossible for the first fiend ancestor to fully recover and make trouble. Darren, let me out. I want to see how the first fiend ancestor is tortured." Excitement coursed through Finley at the thought, and he rubbed his hands like a delighted child.

Darren shook his head and smiled before activating the force of control.

"Be careful, or the aftershocks from their fight will kill you."

"You underestimate me." Finley rolled his eyes. A split second later, he said, "I'll take the Water Kylin with me."

"Don't disturb him. He seems to be cultivating now.” Darren stopped him.

"You think he is cultivating? He is sleeping! A few days ago, he spoke while dreaming. Do you know what he said? 'Baby, don't run away. Just surrender to me. You're awesome. I like you very much.’ Such lewd words. I'll teach him a lesson!"

Before Darren could say anything, Finley flew to the place where the Water Kylin had fallen asleep. As soon as he arrived, he kicked the Water Kylin.

"Damn it! Who the hell are you? How dare you disturb me?"

the Water Kylin swore like a shrew.
