"Fight!"
The black swirl in the sky was completely absorbed by Barnes' stick.
Barnes had already regained his strength at this point. His body radiated the power of the tribulation thunder.
He then swung his stick.
Although the speed of the stick seemed very slow, it was actually gaining very quick momentum.
"Argh!"
Barnes coughed out blood. His killing intention was so strong that it began to harm himself too in the Killing Abyss.
Despite this, his attack didn't slow down by a second, and aimed right for the first fiend ancestor. The first fiend ancestor raised his arms in an attempt to block the stick.
From the moment his arms grazed Barnes' stick, an immense force reverberated through his body.
The force was so powerful that even the first fiend ancestor's fiend power couldn't resist it. In a sudden flash, his arms exploded into several pieces.
"It's the law force,"
the first fiend ancestor hissed as he hastily fell back.
Just now he felt that the force attached to the stick also had a trace of the law force. It was just enough to cause a fatal injury to him.
After one successful strike, Barnes continued with barrage attacks despite the injury he was indirectly inflicting on himself for using the force.
The silhouettes of his stick danced across the sky, giving away a faint aura of law.
The first fiend ancestor ripped out a beastly roar. Left with no other defense against the powerful attacks of Barnes, he finally revealed his God Character! It was an intact God Character!
When the God Character, which was shrouded in a fiendish aura, appeared, the first fiend ancestor quickly recuperated. With his injuries healed, he began a counterattack on Barnes.
Under the influence of the Killing Abyss Skill, Barnes skillfully dodged the oncoming attacks but realized that he was again, at a disadvantage in the battle.
Sensing the battle up in the sky, Darren and the other two began to worry about Barnes.
"When the first fiend ancestor is at full strength, he will be more powerful than a warrior who has reached the Super Emperor Realm. It's not going to be easy for Barnes to defend against those attacks."
A hoarse voice piped in amongst Darren and his companions.
Darren knew this familiar aura even without turning his head to get a glimpse.
"Witcher ancestor, why do you come?" Darren asked in surprise.
The witcher ancestor floated to Darren's side and said, "Because it's time."
"What do you mean?" Darren asked in confusion.
"It's time for you to go to the Godly City."
"I'm afraid it's not a good time right now." The first fiend ancestor's body parts were now fully integrated. Darren had no intention of leaving at this point.
"Your presence is of no use here, anyway. Although Barnes can't defeat the first fiend ancestor, the first fiend ancestor can't kill Barnes either. It's a stalemate. He can hold off the first fiend ancestor for a while. You don't need to worry about it," the witcher ancestor explained.
Darren was silent for a moment.
"I really don't understand what's going on. How did the other two body parts of the first fiend ancestor escape?" Darren dodged responding to the witcher ancestor's explanation. Instead, he asked him a question out of bewilderment and frustration.
"I let them out," the witcher ancestor said frankly.
"What?"
Darren, Finley, and the Water Kylin all turned their heads at the witcher ancestor in shock and horror.
"Sir, how could you do that?" Darren could not believe his ears.
"What is to come will come, and one cannot challenge destiny. If the first fiend ancestor had stayed weak for any longer, the balance would have been broken and the human race's destruction would have come much faster," the witcher ancestor explained. The tone of his voice gave off no regretful emotions. He felt this was an act for the greater good, after all.
"What do you mean?" Darren was confused by these words.
"You will understand some day. Now, come with me. After you enter the Godly City, whether you can become a holy emperor at the top level will depend on your luck. All these humans are relying on you." The witcher ancestor said nothing more.
"But..." Considering the current crisis at hand, Darren hesitated.
"Ah, they finally arrive." The witcher ancestor gazed at the figures. His blank expression twitched into what looked like a smile.
Sensing that powerful aura, both Barnes and the first fiend ancestor ceased their attacks at the same time and looked into the distance.
"Roar!"
the first fiend ancestor roared and cast an icy look in the direction of the footsteps.
"Howl!"
Barnes also shouted at that direction. His body trembled.
"You two insects were killing each other, and neither of you could kill the other. Alas, the final result is that both of you will die, because I'm going to kill you both."
All of a sudden, the dense figures retreated to two sides and formed a glamorous path. A man, enveloped in a layer of faint yellow light, stepped out from the path.
Barnes and the first fiend ancestor were both dumbstruck. The faint yellow light was obviously a primitive aura.
To a greater shock was the identity of the person enveloped in the aura.
"Fool! You dare come out and fight with me?"
Though astonished, Barnes would never show weakness. He pointed at the yellow light with his stick and yelled ferociously.
Meanwhile, the first fiend ancestor had a bigger sense of self-preservation and slowly backed away. He knew that it was not worth his while to fight this powerful creature.
"I suppose we two beings can coexist peacefully in this world."
The first fiend ancestor immediately sent a voice message to that mysterious man to win him over. Actually, the first fiend ancestor had known the existence of this man long ago and also knew that this man needed the World Essence.
The first fiend ancestor himself had no need of the World Essence. He could return to the Primitive Wilderness as long as he killed all the human beings on the Lothlann Continent and destroyed the world. His interests did not conflict with the destroyers who sought the World Essence.
"You are just an annoying insect. How dare you suppose you can coexist with me?"
A sound of contempt came from the faint yellow primitive aura.
