Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 342 The Nebula At The Elixir Field (Part One)

'If 1 fail, I will be doomed!" This was the thought that occupied Darren's mind as he was mentallydisturbed at the moment. By the same token, he was sitting on a powdered keg and had to moveon.

Then, with his enhanced spiritual sense, Darren operated the aura of dragon blood in his elixir fieldto compress it into the revolving demon core.

"Ah! Ahhhrrrggghhh,” Darren cried out as the sharp pain in his elixir field made his whole bodytremble. He had not anticipated the pain to be so agonizing.

"Darren, are you okay?" Scott asked worriedly, looking at Darren, who was in torment. He panickedand did not know what to do to help Darren overcome the situation.

"Scott, I'm fine. Transmit more aura of dragon blood to my meridians," Darren shouted, gnashing histeeth in pain while instructing Scott.

As a knee-jerk reaction, Scott nodded. Hollowing out his strength, Scott continuously transmitted asteady flow of the aura of dragon blood into Darren's meridians. Accepting the immense aura,Darren controlled it and compressed it into his demon core.

Soon enough, the pervasive flow of the aura of dragon blood was turned into streams of liquidunder Darren's compression, flowing on the surface of the demon core. The demonic internal forcein the demon core grappled to break through the suppression of the blade and sword intent, whichintensified Darren's agony.

Crack!

A sharp cracking sound was heard from the rotating demon core. A few moments later, hairlinecracks crept around the demon core, signifying that it was about to burst out.

"Ahhhhh!" Darren roared, bearing with the tormenting pain. With the last of his spiritual sense, hecontinued compressing such a significant quantity of the aura of dragon blood, preventing morecracks from developing on the demon core.

At that point, the demon core rotated at breakneck speed with golden electric sparks twinkling onits surface. Finally, under the impact of the mighty extrusion force, the demon core dispersed intopowders.

After the effect of the dispersion, the scattered demonic internal force and the aura of dragon bloodformed into a small storm. The combination spiraled under the impact of the tiny golden lightning—it resembled a nebula.

Assuming that he had succeeded in doing the task, Darren couldn't bear the pain anymore andpassed out.

Just a few inches away from him, Scott was appalled to see Darren unconscious. Getting closer tohim, Scott set his mind at rest when he probed that Darren's elixir field was peaceful—free from anysigns of intense struggling.

Scott stayed beside Darren. He didn't take the initiative to cure his wounds for fear that it wouldincur further complications.

After about four hours, Darren came to his senses and was able to regain some of his strength. Hewoke up with his clothes soaked and drenched that clung tightly on his flesh.

"Oooooh." Pulling out a deep sigh, Darren was relieved that the task was finally done. His mouthwas pale, and he looked very haggard. Parched and tired, he found it difficult to speak and breatheat the same time.

"Darren, how are you feeling right now? I am sorry, it was my fault. I didn't think that you wouldundergo such great pain. I almost killed you," Scott asked in full tilt as he felt guilty for beingresponsible in Darren's turmoil.

"Never mind that Scott. Though I had a rough time, I feel even better now than before,"

resting his hand on Scott's shoulder, Darren replied. With his other hand that was quite feeble andstill quivering a little, Darren used his spiritual sense to check on his elixir filed. Right there and then,at his elixir field, he spotted an olive-black nebula steadily hovering beside his blade core and swordcore. It was the sign that the demonic internal force and the aura of dragon blood had achieved abalance within him. Aside from the swirling nebula, Darren sensed that there was a formidable forcethat crept through his entire being, which was just a little weaker than his dark gold internal force.However, at the moment, Darren was too weak to test the force of the nebula. Instead, he took apile of superior spiritual herbs from his Space Ring to cure his wounds through assimilating skill.After about an hour, with the help of the spiritual herbs, Darren gradually recovered and roughlyreturned to his normal state and strength.

"Scott, I'm feeling much better now. You should go back for now and consolidate your cultivationbase. Let's meet at the Lotus Holy Land tomorrow," looking at the worried face of Scott, Darrenurged him. Scott had procrastinated for quite a long time because of him.

"Okay. Good thing that you are alright now. That's really a relief for me. I will be a little latetomorrow. Remember, don't act recklessly in case the two-star grand warrior will kill you before myarrival,” with a sheepish smile, Scott advised repeatedly.

"Rest assured, and I won't be playing with fire. I know what to do. I should go back to see ElderColin. Scott, I'll be leaving now," Darren said as he saluted to Scott and turned away.

With Darren gone, Scott picked a mountain and exploded a cave with the force of his palm. Then heentered the sanctuary to strengthen his cultivation base. If Scott wasted more time, he wouldn't beable to reach the highest level. That was why he didn't go back with Darren and preferred tocultivate in that place.

After flying for a while amongst the clouds, Darren could see the ruins among the green hills, whichhad been the prosperous Lotus Holy Land in the past.

With a soft thud on the ground covered with tiles and stones debris, Darren landed from the skyand looked around the view of the ruins.

'The Lotus Holy Land should also have a forbidden area. Where is that forbidden area, and how is itnow?" instead of pursuing his original plan of meeting Colin first, Darren speculated about thematter. He couldn't dismiss the idea of discovering the forbidden area in the Lotus Holy Land.
