"Our chances of survival are slim if we fight head-on with the Ape Spiritual King."
As a holy emperor, the old man wasn't scared, but he was worried.
"Let's wait and see. Perhaps we can negotiate." Darren was more optimistic.
"Human, how dare you break my ancestor's statue? You must die." An old voice echoed in the space an instant before the appearance of a pale golden phantom.
"He is skilled at using Spatial Rule."
When the golden figure appeared, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed his abilities.
The Ape Spiritual King assessed the three people standing before him. Then, his gaze locked on the Rule Soul Avatar.
"You're not bad. Although your rule forces are very powerful, they are not the Universe Rules with which I am familiar," stated the Ape Spiritual King.
The Rule Soul Avatar activated his silver eyes as he released his spiritual sense to probe the old ape. A moment later, he concluded that the Ape Spiritual King was mighty indeed!
His strength was different from that of the god's soul from outer space as his power was not restricted in many ways. The old ape also had an actual body. He was only a little weaker than the god's soul who used the god's power.
"I don't want to fight you." The Rule Soul Avatar's voice was as cold as ever.
The old ape's wrinkled face twitched as if he were suppressing a laugh when he heard the statement.
"Since you destroyed my ancestor's statue, you will die. There is no point in negotiating." The old ape sounded grim and determined, like a judge announcing a death sentence.
"Sir,"
Darren flew forward and interjected.
"We don't want to disturb you. We just happened to pass through here. Please forgive us and let us leave," Darren explained.
"Are you begging for forgiveness?" the old ape smacked his lips and said. "Begging doesn't work on me!"
"Old ape, don't be so arrogant! If you pick a fight, you'll be challenging two holy emperors. Even if you win, you will be severely injured!" The old man flew forward and released his holy emperor's power.
"Humph!" The old ape snorted and said, "You might be the emperor of human ants, but you are no match for me. How dare you challenge me? What's more, I don't see the two holy emperors you mentioned on your side."
Although the old ape felt that the power of Darren's Rule Soul Avatar was strange, he could sense that he was not a holy emperor. And Darren was far inferior to a holy emperor.
"It seems that you won't give up unless you die, will you?" the old man roared.
"Cut the crap, you human being! There is no need to waste my time," the old ape replied.
The Rule Soul Avatar stood in front of Darren. When he heard this, he knew that the fight couldn't be avoided. He activated his Spirit Power and began to choose the suitable Oath Rule with which to fight.
"I swear by my name that you'll die if you use more than seventy percent power in your fight. This oath is valid for two months,"
the Rule Soul Avatar stated solemnly.
It was an oath. It looked like that it was easy to make such a declaration, but in fact, it wasn't as straightforward to make an oath that needed to be fulfilled.
Even if someone at the same level as Darren's Rule Soul Avatar had mastered the Oath Rule like he did, they couldn't make such kind of oaths. Because it would take a few months to make an appropriate oath out of millions of oaths. Besides, other warriors couldn't unilaterally conclude an oath with the other party.
Thus, the Rule Soul Avatar's ability to make oaths was astounding!
Now that he had made an oath, all he could do was wait. He wasn't even sure whether the Oath Rule could be attached to the old ape.
A few seconds later, some black rule silk threads appeared, covered the old ape, and entered his body.
"Great!" The old man, who was standing beside Darren, was overjoyed to see this.
"It should work," Darren remarked optimistically. He was less nervous now.
