Chapter 769 A Conversation With The Holy Emperor

Although he appeared aged with a wrinkled face and coarse hair, the vigor of his manner still remained. Darren was right. This old man was none other than the holy emperor with the long spear who practiced the Primitive Fighting Force.

Darren stared at the holy emperor for a while with a look of awe and respect. After all, holy emperors were reputable, high-leveled people who he had only heard about in legends and stories.

"Sir, was what you just showed me the battle that happened between you and the Dark Emperor? What happened to the Dark Emperor in the end? Did you kill him?" asked Darren.

The battle ended abruptly and he really wanted to know what had happened.

"Kill him? He cannot be killed," said the Primitive Emperor, shaking his head.

"Then what happened at last?" Darren continued.

"In the last stage of the battle, I really did strike him hard. However, did you notice the green shadow behind him?" asked the Primitive Emperor.

Darren thought back to the battle and remembered a dark green shadow floating behind the Dark Emperor. "Yes! I do!" Darren exclaimed.

"That's what keeps him immortal. That's his Eternal Body," said the Primitive Emperor. "Even if I blast him into a million pieces, he will still live. I think you could guess that the battle ended with my defeat. I was able to detach my soul from my real body and transfer it into my avatar in time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here and talking to you right now."

Darren felt the tiredness and shame in the Primitive Emperor's voice. He must have been disoriented during the entire battle.

Striking a man who possessed Eternal Body was a futile attempt, because no matter how hard one would fight, they would never beat them. It was the same case with Aaron, who also possessed Eternal Body.

Under the circumstances, it was impossible for the Primitive Emperor to kill the Dark Emperor. The Primitive Emperor was doomed to be defeated.

"Sir, do you mean that if one possesses the Eternal Body, he can never be killed?" asked Darren. He was incredulous that anyone could have that kind of strength.

"Not really." The Primitive Emperor shook his head and began to explain, "Possessing Eternal Body would be able to keep you from most of the dangers. If a warrior of the same level or a bit higher were to attack you, you would be kept safe from any harm. However, someone far mightier and more powerful might stand a chance if he would fire attacks constantly. If all the particles of his body were dissolved and were spread far apart, he would not be able to regenerate in time..." the Primitive Emperor trailed off.

"Darren, do you know about the immortals?" he asked abruptly.

"I had heard about them somewhere. I guess they are some kind of rule cultivators from the outer space," Darren answered.

"That's right. It was said that an immortal managed to kill a holy emperor who had Eternal Body before. I don't know if it was true. It's an ancient tale," said the Primitive Emperor.

"Oh, I see. What had beco

to practice the Conflicting Cultivation since the Last Age. I know you have poured out lots of effort and have been through some tough times.

You have been fated to meet me today and I think that it was destiny that has allowed us to meet. I think I will help you get through the punishment of entering the Holy Realm," the Primitive Emperor said with a smile.

He also had a secret agenda.

As a great holy emperor who had cultivated the Primitive Fighting Force, he knew how difficult it was to condense the Shura Force. Being a holy emperor, he could only release the Shura Force at the cost of damaging his own soul. Darren, on the other hand, seemed unharmed in spite of activating the Shura force. The Primitive Emperor began to think highly of Darren's potential and thought of how much he would be able to achieve in the future.

"I am honored that you would deign to lend me a hand," Darren cried, bowing in front of the Primitive Emperor.

"Don't mention it. Actually, it is more important for you to practice your Shura Force if you want to get through the thunder punishment. I am merely here to support you. The outcome still lies in your hands.

It seems that you haven't fully comprehended the Holy Will yet. From now on, you should focus on cultivating it with all your might. Once you have been able to reach the breakthrough, I will come to your aid," said the Primitive Emperor.

"I'll head down the mountain to practice," Darren replied, nodding his head vigorously.

"No, you don't," rejected the holy emperor. "You just stay on the mountain. It will be much easier for you to practice here."

Darren paused.

"Are you worrying about that little girl and the alien. Don't worry. I will just take them here. The little girl has been able to condense the killing sword intent. She will definitely be a force to reckon with in the future. She may even grow stronger than you!" The Primitive Emperor chuckled and disappeared. After a while, he reappeared with Elsa and Nate by his side.
