Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 890

The strange stone in Darren's soul only changed a third, but it appeared that the one third was a dodecahedral crystal. Upon examining the crystals of this sort, he understood that they could be used to attack.

For example, when Darren saw his avatar's hexahedral crystal for the first time, he found that it could activate the rule force. Roc Demon Emperor's crystal could be used in the same way.

'This strange stone in my soul is also a crystal, or a Fake God Character. I should be able to use it to activate the rule force, ' thought Darren.

'But how exactly do I use it?'

Previously, Darren had not concerned himself with this matter, but he was curious now. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about it.

Even as Darren mulled this over, the strange stone began to spin, seemingly of its own power.

A pleasant buzz sounded in his ears as the rotation picked up speed.

Faster and faster it went, and Darren's soul began to feel lighter, even weightless, and more at ease.

The buzzing sound was swallowed up by claps of thunder.

Lightning flashed within Darren's soul as the strange stone detached itself and slowly began to float out of him.

At the same time, the magma arrow was still approaching Darren, suffused with frightening power.

Darren had no doubt that he would die if the arrow struck him.

But just then, the black stone emerged from his head and hung suspended in midair.

The whole underground world went still, as though time itself was frozen.

The magma arrow, too, was halted, stopping inches from Darren's heart.

One thousand feet away, the holy emperor's soul was likewise rooted in place. The ferocious expression on his face began to twist in dismay, as if he had seen something extremely horrible.

"No!

You are..."

He paused for a moment. Then, suddenly, the holy emperor's soul roared and began to back away.

But he didn't get far.

A high-speed stream of what seemed to be magma blasted into him. The force slowed the holy emperor's soul down. As the seconds passed, it even seemed to be pulling him back toward Darren.

"No! How can this be possible?!"

the soul cried out hysterically.

Darren stood where he was, observing with awe and not a little fear. He felt a great and exotic power bursting out from the strange rotating stone before him.

"This power seems to be a level higher than that of the Emperor Realm!" Darren exclaimed to himself.

Indeed, the flow of magma triggered by the strange stone seemed to be irresistible.

However, Darren still couldn't control the strange stone. As if to drive this point home, its power abruptly disintegrated and vanished in a flash.

Not wasting a moment, the holy emperor's soul gasped with relief and fled away.

Everything quieted down as the strange stone returned to Darren's soul. The only remaining evidence of its power was the burning magma which had fallen and splashed to the floor.

"Oh! Thank God!" Saying this, Darren hurriedly took another drop of red liquid, then checked the strange stone where they were stored.

"Well, there are still three drops left," he murmured. "That's enough for me to activate the power of the half-step emperor level three more times. It will be good enough."

Since he'd frightened the holy emperor's soul out of that place, Darren prepared to leave.

However, a strange sound gave him pause.

It was a subtle thing, difficult to identify.

At first he thought it was the sound of magma surging, but as he listened, he realized that it wasn't quite the same.

"Eh? Is there a river down here? One of something other than magma?"

Darren was curious. In fact, the sound was similar to that of a stream.

"Is it another river of a holy emperor's blood?" he asked himself.

That was an intriguing possibility. The last time Darren had stumbled across the river of the holy emperor's blood, he had obtained twelve drops of the holy emperor's power. If he found another one here, it would truly be a prize.

He decided, therefore, to follow the sound and look for the river.
