Chapter 2109: Hadean Curse

Son of Darkness had arrived and even made a high-profile entrance. His terrifying dark aura intimidated many Saint-King elites, making them hard to breathe.

“He’s too formidable.”

Their hearts trembled as cold sweat dripped down their backs.

They felt that they were not facing a Saint King but a mighty Supreme Saint.

Ao Xukong’s eyes narrowed, he said in a deep voice, “The aura of Son of Darkness is stronger than before he came to True Dragon Island. Previously, three parts of his body were in Neverwilt state. But now, his heart is the only remaining body part that is yet to achieve Neverwilt state. Moreover, I feel that his current state is very different than before.”

He did not know that Son of Darkness had practiced the Divine Embryo of Darkness technique and undergone a complete transformation. Therefore, he was only aware that something about Son of Darkness had changed, but he couldn’t determine the cause.

‘I did not expect he could enhance his body parts to Neverwilt state despite being in Saint Kinghood. Son of Darkness’ mastery in power is terrifying.’ Fairy Linglong’s eyes looked shocked and aghast.

Cultivators could enhance parts of their physical body to Neverwilt state after they reached Path’s Anterior. It was not something difficult to achieve. There were many talented cultivators who could do it.

However, once their body parts were in Neverwilt state, they would face difficulty controlling their strength and power. They could accidentally break through to Neverwilther Supreme Sainthood when the transformation began.

Even a top genius would find it difficult to control his own power and suppress his cultivation to stay in Saint Kinghood when his body was partially in Neverwilt state.

Ao Xukong said, “I didn’t expect Son of Darkness to achieve such a big breakthrough in such a short time. It seems that he must have obtained a fortuitous encounter in Dragon Temple ruins. This situation is unfavorable to Zhang Ruochen.”

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had improved greatly. He was currently at the first tier below Supreme Sainthood. However, it was still hard to tell whether he could counter the threat from Son of Darkness now.

Ao Xukong looked at Zhang Ruochen who had already stood up. What surprised him was that Zhang Ruochen remained calm.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic at all, as if he didn’t feel any pressure at all.

On the other side of, Immortal Minghu looked at Zhang Ruochen and snorted. “You look calm. I’d like to see how long you can pretend.”

Zhang Ruochen had refused to give Immortal Minghu any face when he subdued Jinyang Twin Kings earlier on. So, apparently, Immortal Minghu had harbored grudges against him.

Of course, Immortal Minghu understood the situation well. He should be on the same side as Zhang Ruochen, fighting against the same enemy at this critical time. However, he got pissed off when he saw Zhang Ruochen’s calmness.

Immortal Minghu didn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen was as calm as he appeared. Instead, he thought that Zhang Ruochen was putting on an act. After all, Son of Darkness’s presence had also given Immortal Minghu immense pressure.

At the place where Thousand-Star Civilization elites gathered, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars’ face darkened. Apparently, she knew how did Son of Darkness suddenly become this powerful. It must have something to do with the treasures he had taken from the monster king.

Among those hundreds of millions of treasures, there must be some items that had helped Son of Darkness improve his cultivation and strength. These items had enabled him to enhance his new physical body in a very short time.
