Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1074 You're Fooled

With the contract made, under no circumstances could Darren threaten her life. The immortalthought she was safe from Darren for the time being.

However, what she didn't know was that the contract hadn't been established yet.

The strange stone had absorbed the contract and couldn't take effect on Darren. Even if it worked,Darren could still threaten her. The worst that could happen was death, and Darren had alreadymade his peace with that.

"Humph! You are so cunning. But don't forget that I'm not afraid of death at all. We can dietogether," said Darren.

Darren's words were crystal clear. Of course, he was just bluffing.

The immortal suddenly realized she was being careless.

"You are too stubborn,” the immortal said coldly.

"So? I have lost my patience. Stop playing games with me," Darren said coldly.

"I'm ready to make the contract about releasing their souls. Relax your soul now.” The immortal hadcompromised. She could do nothing with this human. She could not understand why he wouldchoose to die for his wife.

In the immortal's mind, this was unfathomable.

A moment later, a rune containing the Oath Law rushed into Darren's head.

"Shit!" Darren felt a little nervous. He was worried about what would happen if his law wasswallowed by the strange stone again.

Darren immediately tried to take control of the stone and willed it to stay still with his mind.Darren and the immortal spoke out their vows at the same time. The immortal would let out Elsa'sand Denise's souls at an appropriate time, as Darren asked.

The strange stone in Darren's head began to vibrate. A strange and powerful force seemed todevour the rune of law.

Darren used all of his power to make sure that the stone was under his control. Fortunately, thestrange stone belonged to him. The contract was set up.

Darren felt relief flood through his veins.

The immortal had already promised to release Elsa and Denise. He would wait until he became asuper emperor and then he could ask the witcher ancestor to help him.

His wish was finally coming true.

“After three years, I have to go to the Godly City, or it will take me a million years to become a superemperor, ' Darren calculated.

In order to be a super emperor, Darren had to reach the top level of a holy emperor. Darren realizedhe needed to go to the Godly City first! The Lothlann Continent might be destroyed If he triedcultivating with his own power to be a super emperor, and he could forget entirely about savingElsa,

After establishing the contract, Darren no longer worried about the immortal. He utilized all hispower to resist the pulling force. He also kept infusing pure spiritual energy into the immortalsbody, so that they could leave here when she got recovered.

A month passed.

"Is your immortal's power enough?"

Darren could feel the immortal recover. Her aura had apparently surpassed the middle stage of theEmperor Realm.

“Sure.” The immortal got rid of Darren's arms and levitated in front of him.

Her long hair flew in the wind, framing her face wildly. She had a breathtaking face. With herimmortal aura, she was incomparably beautiful.

"What are we waiting for? Fly up.”

The immortal cast an indifferent glance towards Darren and shot herself ten feet upward.

"I can leave, but you can't.”

Hearing this, Darren's brain buzzed.

He was fooled!

Darren saved the immortal and she had the ability to get out of this area. Darren trusted her. Hefailed to remember that the immortal was extremely cunning and she would never do anythingwithout profit.

It was obvious that the immortal wanted to leave by herself and leave Darren on his own.

If she left him, he would die of natural causes. Her promise to release Elsa and Denise would alsobecome null and void

"Alas."

Darren smiled bitterly and sighed.

"It's my fault. I thought you would be true to your word, like a human would be."

The immortal looked at him indifferently. She glanced at him coldly and flew up.

The green shadow faded away and soon disappeared from Darren's sight.

Darren was stunned for a moment. He did not like the feeling of being cheated.

He knew he needed to make sure that he was safe and sound.

The strong pulling power surrounded Darren. He had struggled for two months against it andalmost used up all of his strength.

As Darren fell down inch by inch, his legs were corroded by the splashing water. If he fell down anyfurther, he would be swallowed by the waves.

"What should I do?"

Darren tried to calm himself down enough to think.

"How can I get enough force to counter the pulling force?"

After giving it some thought, Darren concluded that he needed to improve his cultivation base.He was just a new half-step emperor. There was still a lot of room for improvement to reach hispeak. If he could improve his realm in a few days, he might have a chance to escape from here.Under great pressure, Darren began his cultivation.

Darren tried his hardest to assimilate the remaining spiritual energy liquid in his Space Ring.Enormous spiritual energy, especially this kind of extremely pure spiritual energy, was still effectivein promoting Darren's cultivation base.

Time passed. Each breath Darren took felt like a year passing. His legs were nearly dissolved by theseawater.

Darren didn't dare waste any of his new power to counter the pulling power. He needed to conserveas much power as he could to break out of this place.

What he needed to do now was to wait. When he was able to gather enough strength, he might justbe able to survive this.

Three days later, Darren's cultivation base had improved by a bit. He felt that he had almostaccumulated enough power.

If he did not move, his lower body would be completely dissolved

"Let's go!"

Darren gritted his teeth and gathered all his strength.

He gradually rose from the waters and up into the air.

It was slow, but it was better than being in the throes of death.

When he had risen a few kilometers, Darren stopped. His power had been depleted. A balance wasreached again.

"Keep on improving the cultivation base!"

Darren gritted his teeth and tried again.

The first burst of power only bought him enough time to cultivate.

One month, two months...

After five months, Darren reached the peak of a half-step emperor. He had enough strength tocontinuously fly upwards.

After flying for a month, the pulling force got weaker. Darren became faster and faster. Finally, hemade it high into the sky and was not bound by the pulling force anymore!

"You will pay for this one day!"

Darren's hatred towards the immortal grew even deeper.

"Damn it! It has been half a year. Has she found the bronze coffin?"

Only then did Darren realize that his purpose of coming here was to protect the World Essence. Ifthe immortal had already gotten her hands on it, the consequences would be dire.
