Darren also noticed the man lying on the ice bed. Although he was asleep, the aura he gave off overwhelmed Darren.
"What a menacing aura! I wonder, what was his cultivation level before? Could he have been one of the Chu Clan's deputy gods?" Darren murmured.
"Maybe. We have to get close and take a look. Your divine weapon of the Chu Clan and blood essence will be able to verify that," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
As a direct descendant of the Chu Clan, Darren was the Territory Enfeoffing Emperor of the clan. Activating his bloodline and emperor aura would help him figure out whether that person was a member of the clan as well.
"Okay."
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar hid in the space, slowly creeping towards the ice bed.
Bang!
Suddenly, a powerful pressure crushed the Rule Soul Avatar who was ahead of Darren.
The avatar exploded into a mist of blood.
"Xavier!" Darren was shocked, making him take a quick step back.
Only then did he realize there was an extremely strong force within ten feet of the ice bed, guarding it. Whoever got close enough would get crushed, just like the Rule Soul Avatar.
Fortunately, the Rule Soul Avatar was strong enough to trigger the Resurrection Force and the Time Backflow Law at the time of the explosion.
A moment later, he had gotten his body back and then returned to Darren.
The commotion alerted the crazy woman.
She screamed in reaction.
Focusing her god's sense, she blocked the stone chamber, immediately detecting the presence of Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar.
Boom!
Using her palm, the woman directly struck where Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar were standing. The space shattered, and they both toppled to the ground.
"Sorry for the intrusion, but we mean you no harm,"
Darren said steadily, even though she was in a crazed state of consciousness.
The woman snarled like a rabid wolf, her eyes dark and full of hostility.
Even as she guarded against them, she still held the baby tightly in her arms, fearing that he would be hurt. Just like any mother, even when crazed, they would protect their children fiercely.
Not removing her eyes from the two intruders, the woman moved to the ice bed. She lowered her head, and a trace of tenderness flashed through her dark eyes. With one last look at the baby, she slowly laid him down on the bed. When she raised her head, her eyes shone with a ferocious beast-like glow.
Whoosh!
She swiftly moved over to Darren and grabbed at him.
The Rule Soul Avatar blocked the woman's attack just as Darren started to dodge.
"My real body, use your divine weapon."
"Okay!"
While dodging, Darren activated the emperor power. Then he took out the rusty divine sword, making it float in front of him.
"Ah!"
As soon as the woman started her attack, she stopped. Instead, she raised her head and shrieked. The sharp noise made Darren's ears bleed.
"This sound is horrible."
Darren gathered his god's power in an attempt to drive the sound waves out of his body.
The divine weapon worked. As irritated as the woman looked, she couldn't risk attacking Darren again.
Fifteen minutes later, the baby on the ice bed started to cry. The woman snapped out of it. Her gaunt face suddenly gentling as she looked at the baby lovingly.
She hurried to the bed and cradled the baby in her arms, rocking him softly.
"My real body, send your blood essence to that man," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
Without hesitation, Darren cut his finger on a wisp of sword intent. Flicking his finger, a drop of blood essence flew over to the man on the bed.
The mysterious power around the ice bed didn't block the drop of blood essence, and it fell straight onto the man's chest.
