At this moment, even Darren was a little surprised that Finley's real body and Lord Starry Sword would defend him.
After all, almost everyone thought that Darren had killed several young geniuses out of no reason. If these two masters supported him, it would not be farfetched if they were confronted by other great masters too.
But the two masters obviously didn't care about that right now. Their only objective was to protect Darren. They even threatened that whoever hurt Darren would die.
Although the two masters didn't show up, their voices were enough to intimidate the young talents. They didn't dare make a move now.
Everyone glared at Darren and his companions while they waited for their masters' orders through spiritual sense.
After about fifteen minutes, the atmosphere was still very tense but became extremely quiet. It seemed that no other master spoke to their disciples through spiritual sense again.
Darren assumed that the other masters deemed that the power of Lord Starry Sword and Finley's real body was too strong for them to take on. As a result, the cultivators at the Superior God Realm and even higher were forced to back off.
After everything calmed down, and the young talents started to disperse, Darren and his companions also planned to leave. After all, Darren still hadn't fulfilled his goal—to rescue Akbar.
"Darren, don't go yet."
Just as Darren was about to leave, the voice of Finley's real body echoed in his mind.
"Why? What's the matter?" Darren was a bit confused as to why Finley's real body would suddenly stop him.
"The real inheritance of the Archean relic is about to open. You need to enter and obtain the inheritance so that we can leave this place safe and sound."
Hearing this, Darren was utterly shocked. This was the only time he realized what was really going on.
"Wait. You mean you're also trapped?" Darren asked.
"Yes, and there are several others as well…"
It turned out that not only Akbar but also more masters were ensnared. Surprisingly, even powerful masters were not able to escape.
Darren couldn't start imagining what on earth was in the Archean relic that could entrap all of these great masters.
"But how? You were captured despite your strength?" Darren couldn't help but ask straightforwardly.
"It's because of the time turbulent flows," Finley's real body answered briefly.
Then, it finally dawned on Darren's mind. In this world, if there was one thing that could restrain so many great masters, it would be no other than the time turbulent flows. That was why the Time Law was considered to be the strongest law in the world.
From what the real body of Finley said, there was no doubt that warriors at the Superior God Realm and the Deputy God Realm were caught in the trap. If somehow, a really powerful time turbulent flow occurred, even the chief gods might not be able to withstand it.
"Don't worry. The time turbulent flows in here are not unbreakable. However, it will still need a lot of time and effort to completely destroy them. We are just afraid that when the other races get a hold of the news that numerous masters were missing at the same time, they might take advantage of the situation and attack the human race. That's why we agreed to summon all of the young talents that we know.
It doesn't matter who, but as long as anyone can successfully control the real relic, we will also be released. We sincerely hope that everyone can safely get out of here," Lord Starry Sword explained.
Now, Darren fully understood that reason why none of the great masters ever mentioned why they summoned the young talents to this place. It was necessary to protect the information that they were trapped to be leaked out. After all, once it happened, a huge commotion would most likely happen.
"All right. I got it," Darren replied with conviction. He was prepared to do whatever it took to acquire the relic inheritance and free the captured masters.
Regardless of all other factors, in mere consideration that Finley's real body and Lord Starry Sword saved him from a difficult situation just now, Darren vowed to help them as well. Whether he would be able to control the relic inheritance or not didn't really matter.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Suddenly, a loud sound of a bell ringing spread through the entire Archean relic.
"What's happening?"
"Where does the sound of the bell come from?"
Most of the young talents that didn't know the truth became very wary and terrified upon hearing the bell. It was as if an ominous sound to them.
However, Darren quickly discerned that this was probably the sign that the opening of the so-called relic inheritance was nearing.
Then, out of nowhere, a violent storm suddenly rose from the ground and engulfed them.
"Run!"
At the sight of the vicious storm, everyone quickly attempted to flee.
However, they soon realized that the strong force was sweeping all over the place, preventing them to freely fly.
In an instant, everyone was eventually sucked into the growling storm.
While all of this was happening, Darren and his companions just stayed calm, knowing that this was just a part of what they had to go through.
However, they didn't expect that the Primitive Emperor would be rejected by the storm.
