Chapter 265 The Master Of The Ancient Void Battlefield

The guard took note of Darren's bitter smile and said, "As for revenge, I think the same as you. It isvirtually impossible for us to get back at him. For many years, I have been trying to replace someonewho was worthy of inheriting the skill and becoming the master. Don't get me wrong, revenge ispossible. It might take several more decades or even hundreds of years. But rest assured, that timewill come.

After you inherit the skill, the righteous thing to do is to keep revenge in mind if you want toexpress your gratitude to Grand Void Emperor. However, if you don't want to or don't have theability to carry it on, that's fine. No one will blame you.”

Darren nodded his head once and said, "Sir, I have one more question. What inheritance has theGrand Void Emperor left behind? There must be some treasures or something, right?"

"Well, the inheritance from the master is not the most shocking or the most precious treasure in theworld, but it's quite enough to be of benefit to you. Let me explain..."

Darren nodded in agreement and listened intently.

"Our master said that he wants you to become the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. He wantsyou to take control of this little world. Numerous legendary martial skills and magic herbs had beenburied inside this little world. It is an enormous treasure for you. I'm sure you will greatly benefitfrom those invaluable martial resources.

After I discussed it with Shadow Emperor, we came to the conclusion that when you become themaster of the Ancient Void Battlefield, it will stop you from getting hurt by the Heavenly Repression.If your mingling power isn't strong enough, it will be able to protect you, at the very least.”

"Is that true? According to what the Shadow Emperor said, the Heavenly Repression was evolvedfrom the rules from the outside world in the later generations. It came from some kind of repressivepower that emitted from both the earth and heaven. How would being the master of the AncientVoid Battlefield be able to avoid its attack?" Darren's curiosity was piqued and he suddenly had aheightened eagerness.

"Yes, the Heavenly Repression is a powerful rule that came from the outside world, but our masterhad created the Ancient Void Battlefield a long time ago, during the Last Age, therefore the AncientVoid Battlefield was not influenced by the rules of the later ages. It is perfectly natural that the newmaster of the Ancient Void Battlefield is not restrained by the Heavenly Repression too. However, ifthe control of this little world is handed over to you now, you won't be able to defend it if someextremely powerful repressive force comes to attack. Your current cultivation stage still isn't goodenough. I worry that your life will be put in danger and even the Ancient Void Battlefield will bedestroyed.

"I see. I would be willing to accept Grand Void Emperor's offer along with all the consequences,good or bad. Please tell me more.” Darren wanted to know all the detailed information about theoffer before he completely accepted it.

"That's great. We'll have to go and meet the soul of the master. You'll become the new master ofthe Ancient Void Battlefield if you're able to defeat him." A relieved smile spread over the guardian'sface.

He then slightly raised his hands and sent Darren into the thirteenth round.

As soon as Darren entered the thirteenth space, he immediately found that Finley was here too. Hewas floating in the air, sitting on the opposite side of the Shadow Emperor. A different kind of glowwas emitting from their bodies. It seemed like they were practicing some kind of martial skill.

After a while, the Shadow Emperor's body began to fade, going straight into Finley's head.

"Darren! Hurry up and kill me now!" Finley shouted. Finley's voice somehow sounded strange toDarren. It was like a little boy's voice.

"What?" Darren's brows were pulled together in a scowl.

"Darren, they are weak right now! You should take action immediately!" The old guardianimmediately understood what Finley was doing, so he urged Darren and gave him the proverbialpush.

A light bulb suddenly clicked inside Darren's brain. Without hesitation, he went straight to Finleyand penetrated his chest, moving so fast that his figure appeared like a ray of light.

"Ah, shit." Finley curled his lips into a frown. A few moments later, he burst into pieces as Darren'sblade and sword intents struck him.

Darren heard a strange banging sound in his head.

It felt as if something had entered inside his body.

Whoosh.

Darren opened his eyes and they shone in silver.

Numerous complicated ancient rules flashed in front of him.

The rules then flew towards him and quickly merged with his body.

The next moment, a broad view of the Ancient Void Battlefield appeared in front of him. He wasable to see every inch of the ground and every grain of sand inside the Ancient Void Battlefield. Hewas left in awe by the sight.

The whole little world was under Darren's control.

Darren felt lightheaded from the excitement and awe.

He opened his eyes and they shone like the stars. With a slight wave of his hands, Finley appearedin front of him.

"Congratulations, Darren. You have now become the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield.” Finleywore a faint smile on his face. Darren noticed that Finley was a little different from before; he couldsense the aura of the Shadow Emperor emitting from his body.

"Did the Shadow Emperor go inside your body?" Darren guessed.

Finley gave him a smile and chuckled. "Yes. The Shadow Emperor was afraid to die, so he begged tomerge with me. Since I am a spiritual intent and he is a soul, when we use the arcane skill andcombine our bodies together, we could exist in this little world like normal people.”

"So, my guess is correct. The Shadow Emperor used the arcane skill. But that's good. Mr. Feng, if youare in the Ancient Void Battlefield, you can help with a lot of problems,” the guardian calmly said toFinley.

"Mr. Feng? You mean this jackass?" Darren turned to look at Finley with complete disdain.

"That's right. You should know that people in the outside world regard him as a great master. He iscompetent enough to help you. And what's more is that he has merged with the Shadow Emperor.Like he said, he is no longer just a spiritual intent, he really exists in this world now," the guardianexplained.

Darren nodded his head, considering the guardian's words. Although Finley acted like a jackasssometimes, he was still a worthy superior talent. It might be a good idea to be friends with him."Darren, from now on, I will protect you. If someone offends you, you bring him to me and I willtake care of him for you!" Finley promised, voice firm and full of steadfastness.

"Just don't offend any three-star grand warrior. After the Shadow Emperor and I merged together,only my strength remained with us. If you bring a three-star grand warrior to me, I will certainly getbeaten. Do you understand, kiddo?" Finley added, talking to Darren as if he was some mischievouslittle boy.

"Kiddo? You are so unbelievable! Get over yourself! * Darren glared at him and immediately used hisspiritual sense. "Fixing," he muttered under his breath.

"Shit. I forgot that you are now the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. Since we are all friends,you don't have to punish me, right?" Finley grinned nervously then immediately dropped downonto the ground, holding Darren's leg.

The guardian and Darren looked at each other in silence then burst into fits of laughter.

"You are a wonder.” Darren shook his head, smiling. He thought that Finley was such a lively guy,and it would be nice to have him as company.

"Well, Darren... You can control everything in the Ancient Void Battlefield since you are now themaster. But there is one thing that you should keep in mind: You should never give the legendarymartial skill to your friends or relatives. The legendary martial skill will be repelled by the systems ofthe outside world. If they force themselves to practice those skills, it will inflict great damage to theirbodies. Even yourself—you are only allowed to practice the skill inside the Ancient Void Battlefield.As for those that contain spiritual energy—the magic herbs, the magic spring water, and so on—youcan take whatever you like. They are not affected by the rules.

That's all I needed to tell you. I've accomplished my task. It's time for me to take a rest. From nowon, the Ancient Void Battlefield is under your control. You should remember that it would bedangerous to offend powerful masters. Your current strength isn't good enough, so if they come toattack the Ancient Void Battlefield, it will be hard for you to protect this little world and you willprobably die in the battle.”

The guardian went silent for a second and continued, "If you want to open the Ancient VoidBattlefield, the process will require an enormous amount of power. According to my calculations, itwould be best if you only open it once a month. Also, you should be cautious when you're in theoutside world. Whenever you're in real danger, you can enter the Ancient Void Battlefield. It will beable to shelter you from any harm..."

"All right, all right! We get it, old man. Stop blabbering and just leave already. If there's anythingelse that Darren needs to know, I will tell him." Since Finley and the Shadow Emperor had mergedtogether, they were probably more proficient at aiding Darren than the guardian.

"Finley..." The guardian gave Finley an annoyed smile, almost a grimace.

"What?" Finley nonchalantly raised his brows in response.

"You're such a..." The guardian then started to gradually fade away. "Jerk!" he continued. His voiceechoed throughout the battlefield as he disappeared.

"What the hell?" Finley was speechless.
