Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 510

"Such a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation."

Darren flew towards the rubble that had once been the pool. The closer he came, the stronger the spiritual energy grew, until he could feel it all around him, calling to him.

Unlike other spiritual energy, this one was purer. And it smelled of age, of centuries, of the passage of time and tide, the cycle of many moons.

Following the fluctuation, Darren picked out a bluish glint among the rubble. The energy was thicker now. Suffocating. Drawn to the glint like a moth to a flame, Darren found a crystal among the rubble at the bottom of the pool. The crystal looked like blue ice and was as large as the head of a bull.

Darren reached a tentative hand down and picked up the crystal. Its power suffused him. Holding the crystal up, Darren tried to absorb the spiritual energy within it.

Darren frowned. "Why isn't it working?"

He tried again but could not absorb the tiniest bit of the abundant spiritual energy.

"Maybe I should try to use my Assimilation Skill."

Focusing, Darren activated the Assimilation Skill.

Within his mind came a roar like that of a waterfall.

Spiritual energy poured into his meridians like a river overflowing its banks.

"Wow." Darren's eyes shot up.

"My cultivation stage. Wow, it is increasing so fast!"

Seconds later, Darren felt as if he was going to break through from the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm to the premium stage of the Wonder Realm.

The speed of the change was astounding. Normally such progress would take half a year of normal cultivation.

He tried to think of other reasons why his cultivation seemed to have been progressing slowly. Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy he had been absorbing in the past did not suit him. Was ancient spiritual energy more suited for his development?

Deciding that to be the answer, Darren assimilated some more spiritual energy. Soon, his cultivation base broke through to the premium stage of the Wonder Realm.

Such progress was a huge step in his development. By reaching this premium stage of the Wonder Realm, he had elevated the integrating degree of the Augmented Attack Bloodline within his body.

"I think my power is probably fifty times stronger now. I might be able to defeat a three-star grand warrior even if I only use blade and sword intent."

With the elevation of his Augmented Attack Bloodline, his Blade and Sword Domain had automatically become perfected, increasing its power immensely.

After fifteen minutes, one fourth of the spiritual energy in the blue crystal had been assimilated. Darren guessed the rest of the spiritual energy could make him break through to the top level of the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm.

After his cultivation base was promoted, Darren continued with his plan to save Timothy and Abelard.

He climbed to the third floor to look for the three Divine Weapons. After searching for a while, he did not find any of them. He assumed these weapons had been taken by the mutants.

Whoosh!

Darren flew up to the fourth floor.

When he arrived, Darren found a black mutant with a strong aura guarding a bell-shaped bronze ware.

"Human! How dare you come here?"

The black mutant charged towards Darren.

A scaled arm as thick as a pillar snapped out to strike at Darren. The release of mighty power shook the castle.

"Shit, will the other black mutants outside notice something is happening here?" Darren wondered. "I'd better kill him as fast as I can!"

Darren flitted to the mutant, calling upon his blade and sword intent. The ability ate up the air, spreading throughout the room.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blade-silhouettes and sword-lights lacerated the scales of the black mutant. Bluish black blood leaked from the wounds.

"Ah!"

The black mutant roared angrily. The creature swelled as it prepared to go on a rampage.

"Humph, go to hell!"

Darren used Hurricane Teleportation Skill and created the eight avatars. As one, they attacked the black mutant. He also added the olive-black force onto the edge of his blade and sword intent.
