'Sh*t!' Darryl panicked. He felt that he would explode under the pressure of that terrifying power. "Your… Your Excellency… have some mercy. I'll die if you don't let go…" he begged in a weak and hoarse voice. He almost cried. 'F*ck! Just my rotten luck. I thought I would be able to shake off Odlin by coming here, but this is even worse! I don't want to die here.'Emperor Aurelias ignored his plea as he urged his energy to crush Darryl. He said to himself, "This kid is exceptional, indeed. He has a fairy soul even though he's a mortal. Huh? He even has a strange fire in him." Darryl gasped with shock when he heard that. 'Sh*t! He's good. He's able to sense my fairy soul and my strange flame.'Suddenly, Emperor Aurelias detected something else and screamed with shock. "You have the Power of Bird Ancestor?"He pulled back, causing Darryl to lose balance and fall to the ground."How did you, a mere mortal, get the Power of Bird Ancestor! I will wipe out your fairy soul if you don'

After a few seconds, Darryl calmed down and then looked at Emperor Aurelias curiously. "Your Majesty, what was the bet you've made with your Junior Brother?"There was no doubt that Emperor Aurelias lost the bet. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in that dark and skyless Immortal Tomb. Darryl wanted to get to the bottom of everything. Emperor Aurelias pondered that. A myriad of expressions flickered through his face as he thought about the past. After a few minutes, he slowly said, "My junior brother and I made a bet on human nature. I believed that humans were kind and hardworking, but he thought people were greedy and evil. To prove that, we locked a human in a spirited fruit forest and then gave him a divine power secret manual with a fairy guarding over him all the time. "I told that person that as long as he did what he was told, he could stay in the Godly Region after cultivating the divine power. However, he was not to leave the forest or eat the fruits. I bet that the pe

Darryl was stunned, and he was looking at Emperor Aurelias blankly while an inexplicable ecstasy rose in his heart. From the name alone, he could tell that the cultivation method was going to be awesome. Emperor Aurelias instantly guessed what Darryl was thinking from his expression. He smiled and said, "The Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art was passed to my junior brother and me from the Ancient Ancestor. It will give you immense power, so you have to wield it carefully after you've learned it, understand?""I understand!" Darryl nodded excitedly. He thought he could only wait for death once trapped in the Immortal Tomb, so he was pleasantly surprised to have the chance to become Emperor Aurelias' disciple. It was like finding light at the end of a tunnel, and everything felt so surreal to him. "It's too early to celebrate," Emperor Aurelias said seriously. "Not everyone gets to learn the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art. Even though you have a fairy soul, your physique is not stron

When the enchanted beasts, the White Tiger King, Colori Phoenix, and others had reached a certain level of cultivation, they needed to overcome a catastrophe, so they were well aware of the Heavenly Thunderbolt's power.After several days and nights of fierce battle, the White Tiger King, Colori Phoenix, and the Black Tortoise King had almost used up all their power. Under that circumstance, it was impossible for them to withstand the bombardment of the Heavenly Thunderbolt. There was no doubt it would end with them being turned into ashes. The White Tiger King's face was ashen, but his eyes were determined in the face of death. Seeing the thunder and lightning above his head, the White Tiger King's eyes were blood-red as he said proudly, "Black Tortoise King, Colori Phoenix, even though we lost the battle, we can rest in peace knowing we have fought valiantly till the end. I have full faith that His Excellency Darryl will come back and avenge us! Besides, it's only a little thunder

Darryl's voice reverberated across the air and resounded through the entire Imperial Sky Palace. Silence ensued. Everyone, including Odlin, the soldiers, and the generals, looked at him with conflicted emotions. 'That kid sure has a lot of balls to threaten the Nine Heaven Emperor like that.'The Nine Heaven Emperor's face darkened. After a few seconds, he laughed coldly and looked disdainfully at Darryl. "You must not know the meaning of death. Do you think you can look down on everyone just because you possess the Power of Bird Ancestor? Let me tell you something. Even though you managed to block the Heavenly Thunderbolt, you are still nothing but an ant to me. Let's see just how long you can last when the Heavenly Thunderbolt crashes down on you."His face contorted savagely as he raised his hand. In an instant, the whole sky crackled with lightning, filling the air with thick murderous intent. To the Nine Heaven Emperor, Darryl must have survived the first Heavenly Thunderbolt du
