Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1508 The Fiend In The Darkness

Darren left the cave under the lake by himself. Looking up at the inky black sky, he felt suffocated.There were many powerful races in the abyss. It definitely wasn't going to be easy to replace a race thatDarren was qualified to deal with.

Only creatures like the purple devil were as weak as ants in the abyss, and Darren was confident ofdealing with them.

Carrying his sword and blade on his back, Darren trudged along a path of black earth. The onlyother movements came from his shadow, which amplified his loneliness.

After walking for some time, Darren halted in his tracks.

The wind was blowing past his ears. It carried an unusual aura with it.

Whoosh!

Darren frowned. Concentrating, he poked a wisp of sword intent into the ground to probe.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the black soil began to erode and multitudes of creatures emerged.

Before he knew what was happening, Darren was surrounded by a group of worm-like creatures.Their wriggly bodies were at least ten feet long, mucus dripping off of its surface. They emitted afoul stench, causing Darren to gag a little.

And yet, he smiled.

"They're weaker than the purple devils!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Darren didn't waste any time. He instantly brandished his sword and blade, and attacked them.Hundreds of worms were killed in an instant.

Darren then released his god's power and forcefully compressed the souls of the worms that triedto escape.

It didn't take long before the souls of the worms condensed into crystals.

However, once the souls of hundreds of worms were compressed, the soul crystal they formed wasbut the size of a fingertip. This was far from what the Rule Soul Avatar needed.

However, Darren wasn't surprised. Generally speaking, the stronger the creatures were, the morecrystals their souls would condense.

Yet he still felt a bit better. After all, it was better than nothing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth began to shake once more and then collapsed. Figures covered in mucus rushed into thevoid.

"Huh!"

While the quality wasn't great, at the very least, they came in large quantities!

There were probably millions of worms. If Darren managed to slaughter them all, he could collect atleast a few hundred kilograms of soul crystals.

Darren launched himself into the air. His sword intent circled around his body and slaughtered anyworm that crossed his path.

In a matter of minutes, he killed thousands of worms. Now, their souls needed to be compressed."Oh, something is wrong..."

When Darren stopped in his tracks, he noticed that none of the worms even attempted to attackhim, which was a bit strange.

At first, Darren thought that, because he had killed those hundreds of worms, the rest millions ofthem began to besiege him. But now, it seemed that these worms were actually fleeing fromsomething!

They were writhing and wriggling away desperately. Despite Darren killing multitudes of them, theydidn't pay him any attention

What was making them so scared?

"This can't be good." Darren had a bad feeling about this.

Boom! Boom!

Just as he was about to fly away, the earth trembled again and the wind and clouds surged. Theworld became as dark as jet black ink.

"What the..."

Darren was dazed and confused. He couldn't even release his god's sense, so he couldn't detectanything around him.

"Howl! Howl!"

A fierce scream pierced through the darkness and enveloped Darren, making his soul tremble.Whoosh!

Darren's blade and sword intents circled around his body instinctively. Then, Darren felt a strongspiritual power rushing into his mind.

"The fiendish sense!"

Darren exclaimed. He could clearly feel that it was the aura of the fiend.

As the fiendish sense invaded his soul, he didn't dare to be careless, and the three God Characters inhis brain rotated crazily.

Streaks of dim light shot out of the God Characters, trying to tear the fiendish sense that hadbroken into Darren's mind.

In a flash, it was completely torn apart, thanks to the God Characters.

"Roar!"

In the darkness, another pained scream echoed. The fiend hiding in the darkness seemed to besuffering from the counterattack, and his soul was in extreme pain. His fiendish sense, which mixedwith his soul power, was being shattered.

Because the fiend in the darkness suffered such a great loss so early on in the battle, it made himfear the human being. However, after a while, he calmed down. After he assessed Darren'scultivation base, his fear faded away.

"So what if you have the God Characters to protect you? It'll be a piece of cake for me to take yourbody. Ha-ha!"

The hoarse voice echoed in Darren's mind.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you try to stop me?" Darren shouted daringly, showing no fear."Humph! You arrogant human boy! You are so weak, yet you dare come to the abyss so recklessly?What makes you think you deserve to know my name?

Go to hell!"

Whoosh!

In the darkness, a strong wind suddenly blew against Darren.

Darren, in turn, closed his eyes.

He wasn't able to use his god's sense, but when he concentrated, his sword could move with hismind. At this point, that was more useful than his god's sense and eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Darren's blade and sword crashed into the fiend who attacked him, causing a violent explosion.'He is very strong!"

Darren cursed silently when he saw that his attack had no effect. Although he had managed toblock the fiend's first attack, his internal organs had been injured in the process

Blood streamed out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth

Before Darren could get a chance to recover, a black claw came out of nowhere and started toattack his chest.

He had no time to dodge it, so he had to use his god's power to protect his heart.

Bang!

Upon impact, Darren's heart sank and his body flew thousands of kilometers backwards.

"What?"

This time, it was the fiend in the darkness who was stunned.

He had thought this attack was enough to kill this weak human being a thousand times over. But inthe end, the attack only made his chest wounded, and even then, it was not enough to make himseriously injured.

"His body defense... is remarkable!"

The fiend was ecstatic. This could be the body he had been longing for!

"Ha-ha. It's the God who gave me this body. I'm finally going to rise again,” the fiend roared in aharsh voice.

Darren shook his head and quickly gathered his bearings.

"So, he wants to take my body..." Only then did Darren understand what the fiend was really up to.As he turned these thoughts over in his mind, he flew over and landed quietly in front of the fiend."What? Have you given up already?" The fiend smiled bitterly. He was hoping Darren would put upa fight. The strong fiendish aura streamed towards Darren hungrily. Even with his remarkable bodydefense, Darren still felt that his bones were about to break under the pressure of the fiendish aura."Hahaha..."

Darren suddenly burst into laughter, as if the pressure didn't bother him one bit.

"You're just after my body, aren't you?" Darren's voice turned cold.

"So what? Once I take control of your body, I will be able to escape this wretched place and comeback to the world. It's good you've given up. I'll reward you with a swift death.”

"You old monster, you are too naive!” Darren sneered. "I'm doomed, anyway. Why should I leave mybody to you? If you attack me again, I'll make myself explode. I'll never let you get my body!"Darren's words stunned the fiend. Judging from the fluctuation of Darren's soul, he wasn't bluffing.Of course, the fiend didn't want Darren to do that. If Darren did choose to self-destruct, the fiendwould be trapped here for who knew how long. The fiend couldn't bear the thought of this, so hewas determined to stop Darren from destroying his own body like that.

Could he possibly erase Darren's soul directly? The fiend had tried to do this from the verybeginning, but had failed. It was all because this human boy's soul was guarded by the verypowerful God Characters!
