Chapter 678 The Road To Get Out (Part One)

"Are you sure you want to go out now? If you choose just to stay here, after you become a holy warrior, you might still have a chance to go out," the old man implored anticipating for Darren's decision.

"Sir, could you please let me know what kind of road it is before I make a decision? Why is it so hard to get out of here?" Darren asked and requested a favor from the old man.

"Okay, come with me,"

the old man said and led Darren to walk out of the world of corpses.

After walking for a while, they came to another door. Darren noticed that the old man, by this time, looked grave. It could be seen that the old man was hesitant, especially when he raised his hand and wanted to open the door, but then took it back momentarily.

"Father, don't open the door."

Appearing from behind them, Orval followed them all this time and rubbed the old man's hand.

"It's okay. Take a step back and stay away from this door." With a reassuring glance, the old man touched Orval's head. The latter then, understanding what his godfather meant by such a gesture, nodded, and ran away in a panic.

With a squeak from the door being pushed by the old man's trembling hands, Darren froze in silence and anticipated on what lay behind that door.

Soon enough, as the old man pushed a little harder, the vintage door was opened.

Exceedingly curious and sweating in excitement, Darren, together with the old man, entered in a flash—at breakneck speed even.

Clatter! Clank!

As the door closed behind them, it was utterly dark that Darren could not see anything. The sound of waves spread to his ears and made him vigilant at once.

"Sir, I cannot see anything, and my spiritual sense cannot detect anything either," Darren verbalized to the old man.

"Keep quiet and just wait," the old man said in a severe tone. A slight hush was evident in his voice as if he was waiting fo

s of thousands of years, the holy emperor's power was still existing. It was impossible to enter his heart!

"Until now, there have been many reliable people who have come to the Mythological Palace. Only a few of them are willing to become the Lord of the Mythological Palace, and most of them want to take this path to go outside. Therefore, it is safe to say that hundreds of holy warriors have died here. What you can see outside are the holy tombs, where bodies of strong holy warriors are kept, while the remaining emperor's power directly crushed the rest," the old man continued to state, stressing out that it would be a hard road for Darren to take.

"Now, do you still want to go out?" The serious-faced old man smiled at Darren. He knew that Darren must be scared, and it was normal for him to retreat.

"Have none of them really been out yet?" Challenged by the fact, Darren did not answer the old man's question directly, but asked in a small voice, feeling frustrated.

"Yes, as far as I can remember, there was one person. Shortly after I became the lord, there was someone who broke into the palace and managed to get out of here."

"Who was he? He must be so powerful to do that. Was he at least a junior holy warrior, just like you?"
