Nobilis of War
Chapter 1139 Victory (Part One)

"It looks like your avatar is smart enough to figure out how we are both connected." Xavier Chu had a wry smile on his face as if he disdained Darren.

"So, you are the same person as me!" Darren exclaimed. If Darren still couldn't figure it out, he would be a fool.

However, it was difficult for him to accept the truth, and he couldn't make sense of many things.

For example, why were they so different in terms of personality if they were the same person? Moreover, why did they have the same family name if they were clearly born in two different places and eras? More importantly, who on earth put them in that ball with walnut-like shell? What was this all for?

All these questions still bothered Darren.

"I know we exist because of the space-time disorder, but how did we come to practice the exact same Blade and Sword Cultivation at the same time? We're two different individuals! It's unreasonable!"

At that point, Darren was completely baffled. He embarked on the path of Blade and Sword Cultivation by a coincidence. But why would Xavier take this path?

"Yes, we are ages apart, but why are you so stupid? Everything is predestined. All of the things that happened and will happen had been arranged, including your way of cultivation!

When my great Chu Clan in Primitive Wilderness was destroyed, I became its only hope. As the Reincarnation Master, I was put on this land. I didn't expect something to go wrong halfway, which prevented me from returning for hundreds of millions of years.

Finally! I've waited so long for the opportunity to kill you! Only by killing you can I really go back to the Primitive Wilderness and bear the responsibility of rebuilding my Chu Clan!" Xavier said.

"You mean to tell me that you can't return to the Primitive Wilderness because of my existence? Then that means you must have been waiting for this moment since the ancient times," Darren replied.

"You bet I am!" Xavier's face darkened. "Because you are my other self, you'd better commit suicide. Don't force me to kill you myself."

"Ha-ha!" Darren sneered coldly. "Even if you're telling the truth, I am an independent individual now. Why should I die because of you?"

"Oh, so you want me to kill you?"

"By all means. I'd like to see you try." Darren's face drastically changed as he made a gesture of welcome.

"Go to hell!" Xavier hated Darren to the core. Because of his existence, he had not been able to come back to the Primitive Wilderness. Since he was trapped, he had not been able to revive the Chu Clan.

Boom!

Xavier didn't want to give Darren any chance, so he used his most powerful dark gold internal force.

Dark golden torrents billowed towards Darren. This was exactly the scene which he had seen in the old abandoned well.

Everything had come to light. He finally realized that a person's destiny was indeed pre-ordained.

The final duel was between Darren and his other self from another era.

In the abandoned well, he saw his other self being killed by a spear.

However, Darren had never practiced any spear skill!

'No! That can't be true. Although fate has been arranged, you can't rule out the infinite possibilities of countless results. What I saw is just one of them!'

Darren had no time to think too much. He knew he had to retreat if he wanted to survive the incoming dark gold torrents.

However, it was not easy for Darren to avoid those dark gold torrents. Fortunately, his Rule Soul Avatar had used god level space skills to help him escape. Otherwise, he would barely be able to dodge it.

Whoosh!

Xavier dashed towards Darren and brandished his sword and blade.

"No way!"

Darren could tell that Xavier's Blade and Sword Cultivation was much more powerful. Thus, he was no match for the latter in terms of blade and sword skills.

"My real body, let's merge."

The icy voice of the Rule Soul Avatar suddenly rang out.

"What?" Darren was surprised because he had never expected the avatar to propose such a plan.

"No. I promised you that I would never integrate with you under any circumstances." After a short pause, Darren continued, "Besides, if we fuse, we will immediately trigger the most powerful thunder tribulation of Conflicting Cultivation. I'm afraid we might die even before we can fight against him."

In fact, Darren was right. The combination of the cultivation of martial arts and rule skills was the most vigorous and potent Conflicting Cultivation in the world. If he successfully merged with his Rule Soul Avatar, the thunder punishment they triggered would be enough to wipe out the entire world! This was possible because Darren and his avatar were both at the God Realm now!

The avatar contemplated for a while and soon realized that it was indeed a problematic solution. Fusion couldn't solve their situation at all.

Boom!

At that moment, Darren was surrounded by dark gold internal forces from all directions.

He was completely taken aback. Immediately, he gathered all his strength to resist the attack.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Darren's Shura Force, fiend power, and blade and sword intents were smashed into pieces in an instant!

In terms of combat power, the gap between them was overwhelming!

The Rule Soul Avatar could feel the imminent danger of his real body as he forced the five black pagodas to surround and protect Darren.

Without hesitation, the strong dark gold internal force from Xavier bombarded the five black pagodas. The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment before the black pagodas were completely demolished. Because of the severe damage to the Rule Soul Avatar's Spirit Power, the overall strength of the black pagodas was not the same as before.

Thanks to his avatar, Darren had a moment to rest. Hurriedly, he mobilized the god level sword intents to protect his body, so Xavier's dark gold internal force could only injure him, but not kill him.

He knew that he was no match for Xavier, and his heart sank.

"Boo-hoo!"

All of a sudden, an old figure who was sobbing with fear stumbled into the scene.

"It's him!"

Darren's eyes were locked on the old man, whom he met in the Badlands at a previous time.

That old man was not in his right mind. He hadn't appeared since his fight with the first lord of the Mythological Palace. Darren didn't expect that the old man would show up here.

"Who?"

Xavier looked vigilant as he prepared for the arrival of the old man with disheveled hair.

"Wah-wah!"

The old man continued to wail like a baby and turned a deaf ear to Xavier's threats.

"Humph! You are courting death, old man!"

For the time being, Xavier ignored Darren and rushed towards the old man.

He flew to the old man in an astonishing speed. Then, he reached out a hand, and the power of the ten-tribulation force gushed out nonstop!

"Wah-wah! I'm scared!"

The old man raised his hand and put it above his head. After a moment, his hand touched Xavier's palm.

"Run!"

Darren's heart was beating fast at the sight of the old man's imminent death. Although he didn't really know the old man, he didn't want to see him die like that.

However, what happened next left Darren stunned.

In a flash, a powerful force spread from the distance and tore the void inch by inch. When the old man's palm collided with Xavier's, the old man flew from the impact, but he did not suffer any damage. "You're also a ten-tribulation senior holy warrior!"

Xavier was shocked to his core. He did not expect that the madman who appeared out of the blue was a ten-tribulation senior holy warrior like him!
