Chapter 1277 An Original Creature

There was no concept of time in the cave. Regardless of how long Darren stayed inside, the time outside would not change.

He continued with his cultivation. Because his soul and talent were very powerful, his physical strength soon reached the level of the Primary God Realm.

'Good. This body is not as weak as it used to be, ' he thought.

Darren released his soul completely. His body could carry it now.

'My new body has reached its limit, ' he mused. 'After all, I have only relied on the god's power to improve my physical strength. It still needs to be honed through fights in order to get stronger.'

Even if Darren continued to nourish his body with the god's power, his physical strength would remain at the same level. It could not increase any further.

Moreover, within his new body, there was no Sword God Character or Blade God Character or other things in his elixir field, which he could use to develop powerful skills.

He knew that if he wanted to break through the stone walls of the cave, his physical strength needed to surpass the Celestial God Realm. Darren frowned, deep in thought. It would be very difficult to achieve that.

'I have no choice, ' he thought. 'I must go to Supreme God Sheffield's tomb.'

He decided that his best course of action was to go to the tomb and look around. With luck, he would be able to find and kill some ferocious creatures. With his Evolution Force, he would then be able to greatly increase his physical strength over a short period of time.

Darren began walking along the path towards the entrance of the cave.

It took a while to reach the entrance.

He concealed all his auras and paused at the mouth of the cave. Cautiously, he stepped out, gazing around for his target.

Although he possessed a body now, his physical strength was only equivalent to the Primary God Realm. He was still far too weak. At this level, it felt like even a strong wind would tear him apart.

'This might be too difficult after all, ' he thought, shaking his head.

Now that he was outside the cave, he couldn't help realizing how hard it would be to catch other creatures. The odds were definitely against him.

He stopped only a short distance from the cave entrance. He didn't dare to venture too far. He reasoned that the best course of action would be to wait here.

After some time, his patience was rewarded. A fiend approached the area where Darren stood waiting. Its body was entirely covered with scales.

'This creature must be above the Celestial God Realm!' he thought. He was silent and unmoving, worried that any motion would alert the fiend to his hiding place. He did not want to risk provoking it.

His uneasiness grew as another creature drew nearer. This one looked like a fierce dog with three heads. It released an astonishingly powerful aura.

'This creature is even more powerful than the other one. It must be at the top level of the Celestial God Realm, ' he thought.

Darren was so still that he could feel dust settling over his motionless body, as though he were a stone.

Something howled in the distance.

There was an answering

ty-one days, you should be crawling on the ground. How could you have achieved such a high level of strength at this point?" Darren was deliberately goading the monkey, and it worked.

"How dare you doubt me?" the monkey demanded, sounding outraged. "I am an Original Creature formed by a new law, born between heaven and earth. You should feel blessed to have met me." The monkey glared menacingly at Darren.

Darren laughed. "Fine, keep lying! I have never heard of any Original Creature in my life. That's a good story," he said in a scornful tone.

The monkey flared up. "You're really pissing me off," the creature growled.

"I am an Original Creature, capable of merging the strength of others. Once I have killed any creature, I can inherit and merge all of their strength with mine. It's definitely a useful power to have! At this rate, it won't be long before I rule the world and take control of everything.

I will even kill the arrogant chief gods and replace them! To me, you are like an ignorant ant, yet you dare to mock me!"

Darren was stunned. "Merging?" he repeated, gazing warily at the monkey. Was there really such a powerful law in the world? Was the monkey really transformed from the Original Law?

Darren looked at the furious monkey. "I don't think you should kill me if you really have that ability," he said calmly. He watched as the monkey frowned, trying to understand what he had said. It was to Darren's advantage that the monkey did not seem to be very intelligent. Otherwise the creature would have killed him already.

"Why not?" snapped the monkey at last, evidently deciding that Darren was bluffing. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Darren said, "What good will it do to you if you kill me? My strength is much lower than yours. Wouldn't your strength become weaker if you merge with mine?" It was flawed logic, but he hoped it would confuse the monkey.

"You think too much," the monkey snorted. "Even without my merging ability, I'd kill you just because I want to eat your flesh and blood." The monkey moved forward, licking his lips.
