The Rule Soul Avatar took the old man's life, while Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng were engaged in battles of their own. They brandished their weapons and killed the men they were each fighting.
In just a quarter of an hour, all four enemies had been vanquished.
"Look at what I found,"
Darren said, flying over with a green gourd in his grasp.
Each of his companions found the same thing as well.
"This is the spatial treasure of the Archean world. It's where their items are stored," revealed the Rule Soul Avatar.
"Is it possible for us to open it?"
A spatial treasure was a very special thing. If opened by force, it would be destroyed. But with the Rule Soul Avatar present, that might not be how things went.
"Sure,"
replied the Rule Soul Avatar. There were very few rule cultivators in the Archean Age and the spatial treasures that could be refined were very ordinary. Opening the gourd wasn't difficult for the Rule Soul Avatar because of this.
A few strands of Spirit Power swirled out, and the four green gourds were all shattered open.
Many things floated in the air, packed densely together, like four small mountains.
The purple crystal with blood streaks floated on its own, as if with a mind of its own, like it was trying to escape.
Whoosh!
The Rule Soul Avatar glided over and slammed it with his palm. The purple blood crystal glowed and began trembling.
However, nothing came of this. A moment later it dimmed and floated on quietly.
"This purple blood crystal contains very pure Archean energy."
"Put it away for now. We'll refine it when we find a safe place to do so."
The Rule Soul Avatar then put the crystal away.
Boom! Boom!
Just then, a massive shadow blocked out the light, covering Darren and his companions in shade and dulling the world.
A fierce aura spread out and the strong pressure that came off it made their bones creak.
"A beast!"
It was a mountain-like Archean beast, enormous and intimidating.
It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. How curious.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
They all flew away immediately at the sight of it. The Archean aura coming off it was as strong as the sea, pushing against them. They felt it was safe to assume that it would be quite troublesome trying to fight against such a monstrosity.
Even if they were to use their god's power, they still might not be able to kill it.
They chose their best course of action, which was to flee.
They flew dozens of kilometers before Darren glanced back to discover that they were being chased by the fierce beast.
It moved at such great speed that it was getting dangerously close to catching up to them.
The Rule Soul Avatar mobilized the Wind Rule, tripling the speed of the other three.
They darted away like four rays of light sweeping across the sky, quickly putting some distance between themselves and the beast.
"Bastard!"
echoed a clear, deep voice throughout the sky.
The beast that had been hot on their tail now turned suddenly and dashed away in the other direction.
Bang!
It only took a few steps before it exploded into smoke and flames.
The entire sky was covered with chunks of flesh and blood raining down within hundreds of kilometers.
Darren and the others stopped dead in their tracks, taken aback by the mysterious events unfolding.
'Who was it just now?' they all wondered. Whoever it was, they possessed a terrifying strength!
