Darren could sense Barnes' sheer excitement from the look on his face.
There was a clattering noise coming from what he was wielding in his hand.
The golden fragments on the surface of the stick had completely disappeared.
"This is the end for you!" Barnes held the stick over his shoulder in a battle-ready stance. He felt his confidence rising from the adrenaline of the moment.
Opposite to Barnes, the holy emperor stood menacingly in the air with a cold expression. He was completely unaware of the change in Barnes.
The holy emperor charged forward in one fell swoop.
He believed he had the upper hand in this battle as he fearlessly headed straight for Barnes.
It seemed that this time, the holy emperor was holding three flags.
They whizzed through the air as he threw them one by one.
The flags landed in a circle around Barnes with a loud thud as the holy emperor came closer. They suddenly grew in size, and three different forces burst out from each of them. Barnes was trapped.
"One enhances defense, one enhances offense and the other one disrupts the enemy. Those three flags have to be supernatural emperor weapons!"
Darren could sense the power of the three flags. Once the holy emperor utilized the flags together, his fighting capacity would increase by at least forty percent!
"Go to hell!"
shouted Barnes, as he charged towards his opponent.
Thunderous noises rang throughout the space as he slashed at the holy emperor.
With every hit, darkness began to spread.
"Barnes...His strength..." Darren murmured. "His strength has doubled!"
Darren was shocked and amazed at the change in Barnes' fighting power. After he transformed his stick, not only his physical strength, but also his fighting power as a whole had doubled.
Darren had the Augmented Attack Bloodline, but this only increased his physical strength. This power was still worlds apart from being able to double his fighting power.
Barnes fought with cool composure. With every swoop of his stick, the holy emperor was losing his ground as he was pushed back little by little.
The holy emperor then ripped out a screeching howl.
After he retreated some distance back, his eyes flashed with a brilliant blue light.
With the glow of his eyes, only then did the holy emperor begin to use his unique holy emperor's power.
He began to give off an overbearing aura, in the form of a harsh wave of blue light, which heavily suppressed Barnes.
If they were initially at odds in terms of strength, now it was as if the holy emperor had added a handicap of a heavy weight to his opponent.
Barnes was taken aback by the holy emperor's power.
Suddenly, a thud followed by a loud crack sounded through the air.
The holy emperor, taking advantage of the situation, threw a blow at Barnes, shattering his enemy's shoulder. The attack caused both blood and flesh to spurt out.
To prevent any further injuries, Barnes hastily turned to retreat to a safe distance from the holy emperor's deadly attacks.
"Argh!"
Barnes shouted in frustration. Blood essence began to spread onto his black stick.
It emitted a soft hum, slowly increasing in volume, as if it was alive.
The aura of darkness around it then burst out from it.
"Wow, what a strong aura." Trying to decipher something, Barnes carefully sniffed at the air around himself.
His expression suddenly turned dead serious, and he rushed back into battle. At this moment, his aura had doubled again!
"What? How?"
Darren was in disbelief at what he was witnessing. Starting from when the stick had turned black, it seemed that Barnes' strength had kept improving. Now, he'd almost reached the level of a seven-tribulation senior holy warrior!
