Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1018

"It sounds like a war is raging."

The violent quakes and blaring sounds interrupted the Rule Soul Avatar's thoughts.

"Let's investigate."

Barely had the words been spoken when Darren and his avatar vanished.

To Darren's surprise, it was not Yahya and the Shura who were fighting. Instead, the Shura was battling the thousands of chains released from the five black pagodas.

The mighty Shura Force rushed out like torrents, while the chains, like rules, repressed the Shura's power.

They appeared evenly matched.

"What are those pagodas? Why are they so strong?"

Darren's heart lurched. How mighty were the black pagodas if they could resist the attacks from the Shura?

"Howl!"

the Shura roared as frustration coursed through him. As he had been unable to destroy those iron chains, he released a more violent wave of Shura Force.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The space started to tremble violently, and the power contained in the aftershock forced Darren to retreat.

Not far away, Yahya moved backward quickly as well. But the Rule Soul Avatar remained motionless as he stared at the five black pagodas with his silver eyes.

Darren stopped retreating once he reached a safe enough distance.

"Yahya, it's time to end it."

Darren turned to face Yahya as he spoke.

"Yes." Yahya sighed. "It's time to end it. Now, I see the end."

"What?" Darren frowned. Yahya seemed to be implying something more with his comment.

"This test was arranged by my future self because I wanted to know how I died. When you stepped into this tomb with your Shura Force, the law that my master had left determined that you probably killed me. But now I know the truth. It was the Shura you brought that slayed me."

"Nonsense." Darren shook his head at Yahya's explanation. His tone was as cold as ice when he spoke, "The times in which you and I exist are a hundred million years apart. How could you have gone to the afterlife to look for the murderer when you died? How could the Shura be your murderer?"

"It's a pity. Before my future self died, my master told me that the Shura had traveled through space and time. He helped me to organize this illusion to find the murderer. Moreover, if I kill him, perhaps the result will change," Yahya muttered as though he was lost in deep thought.

Darren stayed silent for a moment as he pondered over Yahya's statement. Then he said, "Even if you are right and your murderer traveled through space and time, it doesn't mean that he will step into your tomb. In the past hundred million years, countless geniuses could have entered your tomb. Hasn't anyone else triggered this test and come here to meet you?"

"You underestimate my master's laws. The law system in my tomb can detect the killer's aura. Your aura is a ninety-nine percent match to his. That's why you came here. As for the woman, she should be a normal inheritor. However, since you activated the law system of the test, she appeared here as well," explained Yahya.

"It is not possible that no one with the Shura Force has come here in the past hundred million years. And anyone who has the Shura Force will have the ninety-nine percent similarity that you mentioned, right?" Darren rationalized.

"No. you are wrong." Yahya shook his head before he continued, "The power of the Shura vanished from the world. Even if someone in the later eras could cultivate it, they would only be a forty percent match to the murderer's aura. You are a closer match because of the Shura, who is now fighting the five black pagodas."

Darren was silent.

If what Yahya had said was true, it was possible that Darren traveled through time and space and killed him with his Shura.

This thought frightened Darren.

It wasn't that Darren felt terrible about killing Yahya. On the contrary, the idea that all this was ordained by fate terrified him.

'If it is true, then could my destiny have been decided a hundred million years ago? How else could I have brought the Shura to kill Yahya in my era?

Is it possible that several parallel worlds exist simultaneously? Since I wasn't born in this era, how could I have brought the Shura to kill him?'

Darren found this theory hard to accept.

"Conflicting. Very conflicting." Just the thought gave Darren a headache. A split second later, he thought of something important.
