Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1017 The Ending Battle (Part One)

The five black pagodas were unpredictable in their power. Once Darren's avatar gained control ofthem, his strength would increase to exponential level.

This kind of Flaming Hell was from the Darkest Hell, which was on par with the Immortal Land andthe Primitive Wilderness. One could expect nothing ordinary to come from the Darkest HellOtherwise, the gods" souls wouldn't be so fearful of the Flaming Hell.

"He entered three pagodas at the same time!"

Yahya shockingly witnessed the moment the Rule Soul Avatar disappeared.

"My cultivation level is at the peak of the Emperor Realm, but if Darren's avatar controls those fivepagodas, I might not stand a chance." Yahya grimaced.

The Rule Soul Avatar hadn't even become a holy emperor yet! Despite this fact, he was feared by acultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm. What if the avatar became a holy emperor? He wouldno doubt be a peerless holy emperor, if it were to turn out that way.

Ten days then passed like a breeze.

Above the black sea, two figures appeared emanating a crimson aura.

"Have you sensed the person I'm looking for?"

It was Darren, accompanied by the Shura.

"I only promised to help you kill two people. I have no obligation to help you replace them,”

said the Shura coldly. If any other creature dared to come near them, they would be scared to deathjust by the sight of the terrifying Shura.

"Whatever. I'd be wasting your time as well if I don't replace those two enemies soon," Darren saidcalmly.

The Shura glared at Darren with his scarlet eyes.

His long red hair suddenly rose up into the air as the surrounding spaces cracked and crumbledaround him. A raging storm, about thousands of kilometers wide, rose in the sea.

"Come with me."

With that, the Shura flew straight to the bottom of the sea, with Darren at his tail.

After about one hundred thousand kilometers deep, the Shura suddenly stopped.

A muffled explosion suddenly sounded.

With a wave of his hand, the Shura created a huge hole in the area. It was the Sea Spiritual King'sresidence.

A piercing scream could be heard.

Darren recognized it immediately.

"What? That was Hailey!" Darren made haste and flew towards Hailey.

Darren found Hailey curled up in a corner distressed. She gave a sigh of relief at the sight of him.She was dumfounded and speechless. Having been trapped for ten years, she was shocked to finallysee the man whom she dreamed of every day in front of her and coming to save her.

"Are you okay?" Darren put out his hand to help her up.

"Thank you." Hailey pursed her lips. She didn't know how to feel about the situation.

"Where is Yahya? Is he with the Sea Spiritual King?"

Yahya was the man who kidnapped Hailey ten years ago. If Hailey was here, Yahya had to be aroundsomewhere as well.

"He and the Sea Spiritual King went to replace your avatar ten years ago and haven't shown up sincethen. I've been trapped and unable to escape this secret room," said Hailey.

"I see. Hey, Hailey... Are you really okay?" Darren asked again. His face went grim.

"Not too bad, I guess,” Hailey blurted out. She then realized what Darren was implying.

"Ah, Yahya didn't do anything to me, really,” she said hastily.

"That's good." Darren nodded and felt relieved.

"You'd better escape quickly. I'm going to go replace Yahya," Darren said.

"Okay. Please be careful.”

Hailey knew she'd only weigh Darren down by staying. Against what she really felt, she didn't insist.Darren walked further inside with the Shura

Behind what looked like a transparent glass wall, cyan storms were raging.

"What is this?" Darren was unnerved. He was fearful at the sight of the wild storms behind theglazed wall.

Darren turned to look at the Shura. A layer of blood was burning on his body. His eyes were staringstraight ahead, and were zoned out as if something was weighing on his mind

After a short moment, he stepped forward, but was stopped by the glazed wall.

"Even you can't go through the wall?" Darren said in surprise.

The Shura paid no mind. He calmly reached out his hand and made a slight touch to the glazed wall.A hole then appeared on it.

"Let's go," said the Shura lightly, as he stepped into the hole.

Without any hesitation, Darren followed the Shura. After Darren went in, the hole in the wallimmediately disappeared behind him.

"Argh!"

Darren let out a cry of pain the moment he stepped in.

The cyan storms were raging around him.

"What the hell?!"

Darren was dumbfounded. He was as strong as a holy emperor by now, but he was still havingdifficulty resisting the cyan storms.

He made another cry of pain

as he fell to the ground. The sudden pain was more horrible than a soul torture.

"Please help me," Darren choked, with his face twisted in anguish.

The Shura glanced at Darren and did not shift.

"This request is not within the terms of my promises,” the Shura replied coldly.

"If I die here, how would you know who to kill?" Darren said.

"There are three living beings in the hell. They should be enough to fulfill my promise.”

The Shura couldn't care less about Darren. He went on through the storms, taking slow steps.Darren was speechless. It was impossible for him to ask the Shura to do anything out of the rangeof the promises.

Another shock of pain went through Darren's body as he roared.

The pain became more severe, and his body began to convulse.

After the Shura was completely out of sight, Darren suddenly felt relief. The pain had suddenlydisappeared.

Darren sighed in relief.

He then took a deep breath.

"We're of the same race now. You would've been sorry if you didn't save me," Darren mutteredbitterly, thinking that it was the Shura that helped him.

"Wait, what? It's not him?" Darren couldn't sense the Shura's aura at all.

"My real body," said a voice.

A young man in white then appeared in front of Darren.

"Avatar? Is that you? Did you help me?" Darren looked at him, shocked.

The Rule Soul Avatar nodded.

"How did you make it?"

"I saw through one law thread, so the Flaming Hell has no effect on me. I can protect you.

Who is that powerful creature with you?"

From the moment Darren and the Shura entered this place, the Rule Soul Avatar already sensedtheir arrival.

He felt wary of the powerful crimson red creature, so he waited until it was out of sight before herescued Darren.

"He is the Shura, that corpse,” Darren said.

From the appearance and aura of the creature, the Rule Soul Avatar had already made his guesseson what it was. Darren's confirmation made his heart skip a beat.

"He is quite strong. Reviving him seems to have been a dangerous decision,” the Rule Soul Avatarsaid.

"That's true, but Yahya is protected by several gods’ souls. I can't kill him alone."

"I understand. That's why you revived the Shura and asked him to kill your enemies.”

"That's right. Only through these means can I really end this test,” Darren said.

The Rule Soul Avatar stood in a daze, pondering on a thought.

Explosions were then heard in the distance.

By the sound of it, a battle had commenced.
