"You know the Shura?" Darren sneered upon hearing the first fiend ancestor's question.
"You're a miracle, human," the first fiend ancestor mused, amazed.
Indeed, this human had not only inherited his purest blood, but he had also inherited the power of the race from the hell.
This was the first time the first fiend ancestor had heard of such a thing. Even the Primitive Wilderness didn't have such talent.
There was more to this human's power, and it wasn't as simple as it seemed. It was obvious that the human had other powerful set of skills. And now, he realized that this person in front of him wasn't the same person who had almost defeated him last time.
"It seems like you are the fifth Reincarnation Master. You have to die this time." Darren strained to hear what the first fiend ancestor was saying, but it was all just gibberish in the end.
"The fifth Reincarnation Master?"
Darren was curious. 'What is he talking about? Why am I the fifth Reincarnation Master?'
Thinking that this might be related to his history, Darren was eager to know the answers.
"Never mind. You don't need to know this."
With that, the first fiend ancestor charged towards Darren with renewed vigor.
On the other hand, Darren's whole body turned blood red as the Shura Force flowed through him.
A series of explosions rocked the whole area.
Even though Darren was at a disadvantage facing the fiend's attack, he didn't lose the fight immediately.
As the battle raged on, the first fiend ancestor released a strong aura.
Amid the chaos, he muttered a few obscure words which made his aura soar around him madly.
A few seconds later, Darren felt a repressive pressure closing in around him.
"Well, are you going to use your real strength now? That'll be fine!" Darren's greatest skill was not the Shura Force. It was his skills of Blade and Sword Cultivation. He decided that he would use his secret weapon at the critical moment to catch his opponent by surprise.
Anxiety brewed among the four greatest holy warriors as they watched the fight from afar.
The first fiend ancestor's aura was intimidating. They worried that it would crush Darren entirely.
The terrifying aura surged wildly.
Darren was stunned by the familiar feeling it evoked from him. It was very similar to Mathew's. The difference was that this one was more powerful.
The charge in the air cackled as the aura continued to swirl around.
A black pyramid-shaped crystal floated out from the first fiend ancestor's head.
It was exactly like the crystal resided inside Darren's body. This realization caught him completely by surprise.
His elixir field seemed to sense this, so it began to stir restlessly within him. He had to forcefully use his power to suppress it.
The deep rumble of thunder continued to tear through the sky.
Flashes of lightning fell down, tearing through space.
A hundred thousand Killing Rules raged in the air.
'This is the Killing Rule!'
This kind of technique was more terrifying than the killing sword intent since the latter was only a small part of the rule.
'It's so powerful!' Darren could feel his heart thundering against his chest as he watched the Killing Rule in action. The cold hand of fear steadily dripped down on his spine, filling him up.
But the fear didn't make him want to retreat. Doing so would only put him at a disadvantage.
'Then kill him!'
With his mind made up, his body began to change. He turned into a giant dragon in no time.
His dragon blood aura could overpower the fiend. Merging it with his Shura Force could even pull it up to the top level.
By combining his two powers, he should not be underestimated.
"What are you waiting for?"
"But we aren't strong enough. If we go there, we might die as well," Mario, one of his companions, said.
Indeed, this was true. Darren was the strongest among them even with their strength combined. How could they probably fight against the first fiend ancestor? They would be useless out there.
"There's no other choice. We have to use the Heavenly Exterminating Array!"
Francis' words shocked the other three greatest holy warriors.
"Are you sure, brother? Once we use the array, we will all die."
"Brother, our sacrifice will be worth it if we'll end up saving Darren. The worse that can happen is we die and fail to save him."
There was a big flaw of the Heavenly Exterminating Array. It would only work for an hour after its first use. There wouldn't be a third try because by the second, the four greatest holy warriors would be destroyed by then.
"Let's not think about it too much. Just follow my orders and prepare the array!"
Francis ordered without hesitation. He believed that they could sneak in a few hits at the fiend even though they couldn't suppress him fully.
"Yes!"
The other three followed without questions.
With that, their bodies began to light up brightly. Their skin sparked with different colors until four phantoms formed behind them.
A force of heaven and earth swooped down on the phantoms of cyan dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and black tortoise. All four of them were connected in mysterious ways.
The results of activating the array had the four holy warriors vomiting their blood essence at the same time.
The noisy retches echoed in the air.
They could feel the force of the array rattling their bones.
"Hurry up! The longer we wait, the weaker we get."
Once the Heavenly Exterminating Array was formed, the four greatest holy warriors flew into the battlefield.
