Nobilis of War novel Chapter 205

Once Scott had left with the others, Darren stayed in the demonic monster domain for a few days. During this time, he began to grasp the blade intent.

After he had seen a big leap in his talent, he had to comprehend the blade intent as quickly as possible. Once he accomplished this, he could enhance his strength in an even shorter amount of time!

In this wasteland, a group of level three demonic monsters casually wandered all around. All of a sudden, a deafening sound rung out from behind! Numerous blades emitted rays of bright light that instantly shot toward them. In a split second, the three demonic monsters were chopped into pieces.

A man flew in the air, feeling fully satisfied with his masterpiece.

"Right now, I have reached the high level of the supernatural blade skill. Both my blade and sword intent have achieved a balance! This is wonderful! I have even made a vast improvement in my strength!" he shouted. Although Darren had grasped the supernatural blade skill, he still couldn't condense the blade core yet. He intuitively felt that something was missing.

Darren didn't want to waste his time anymore. He needed to hurry up and practice longer, harder, and faster. After he grasped the blade intent, he directly flew into the demonic monster territory. With his current strength, he could easily kill any level five demonic monsters. As for the level six demonic monsters, maybe he could use his battle techniques and give them a try!

Although the level six demonic monsters reached the middle stage of the Wonder Realm, they still evolved from the beasts. Since they were not as experienced as Darren in battle techniques, and didn't possess any impressive martial skills like he was, he still had a small chance of defeating them.

In a split second, Darren soared away for several hundred miles. When he set foot onto the demonic monster domain, a deafening roar came from the mysterious mountain. This large mass of land emitted a powerful and gargantuan aura.

After he arrived, Darren did not hastily kill the demonic monsters for blood. Instead, he began to look through the book of "Demonic Blood Refining Skill." He had decided to find out about all the specific procedures and what kind of demonic monster blood he needed before getting started.

The book "Demonic Blood Refining Skill" could be graded at five stages: the skin refining stage, meridian refining stage, organ refining stage, bone refining stage, and golden body refining stage.

Of course, each stage had a different requirement which corresponded to the level of the demonic monster's blood.

Respectively, the skin refining stage needed blood from a level three demonic monster, the meridian refining stage a level four demonic monster, the organ refining stage a level five demonic monster, the bone refining stage a level six demonic monster, and the golden body refining stage required blood from the king of the demonic monster.

"Ha-ha. I have already obtained the blood of the king of the demonic monster! If I collect blood from other levels demonic monsters, it will be smooth sailing from there," Darren murmured to himself. Darren felt giddy with excitement. If he had not risked his own life to kill the badly injured Divine Bull King, he would not have had the chance to collect the blood from the king of the demonic monster!

But Darren believed that Scott would definitely help him with obtaining blood from the king of the demonic monster if he was unable to do so.

And so, Darren continued to read the book. He read from the first stage. He found that if he could complete skin refining stage, it would greatly enhance his power. Furthermore, his body toughness would increase by thirty percent! The more he practiced, the stronger his body would become. Once he finished all five stages, his body toughness would be increased by fifty to one hundred times than his current strength!

But there was a limit on his improvements. If one practiced Demonic Blood Refining Skill, he or she would never surpass the body toughness of the masters at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm, even if their body toughness could be very close to those masters. Scott had no use for this kind of skill, since his body toughness was extremely impressive.

But it was very useful to Darren. Although his body toughness was decent, if he could grasp the skill, he could use it to protect himself in case he encountered a master who reached the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm, provided that the master was careless and distracted. And cultivators in the middle stage of the Wonder Realm would find that it was virtually impossible to kill Darren.

The Demonic Blood Refining Skill was a rare and previous martial skill for those people who had yet to reach the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm. But it was also an extremely difficult skill to master. If one wanted to completely grasp it, not only would they have to collect all the materials, but they would also suffer endless pain in the process. In a pool of ten thousand people, it was rare to find someone who could actually sustain such pain!

After he had fully comprehended it, Darren prepared to set off and started to look for his objectives.

Darren flew through numerous mountains. In the course of his travel, he killed a few level three demonic monsters and collected their blood into the Space Ring. The things stored in the Space Ring could be classified by Darren's spiritual sense, so he didn't need to worry about the blood making a mess.

After he had been flying for a while, Darren spotted many level four demonic monsters gathered around a valley. Without hesitation, he flew towards them. Darren raised his blade. In a split second, a level four demonic monster had been killed by his intense blade power! He kept on slaying several more level four demonic monsters, until he deemed that he had collected enough blood.

Whoosh!

While he was concentrated on dealing with the monsters, a strange sound came from above him. Darren looked up and found a fierce being hovering above the sky, emitting intense power. It was obviously a level five demonic monster.

"Humph! Just a minor level five demonic monster. You're just bluffing!"

Darren sneered at the monster, flying straight at it. The power emitted from Darren's body was so intense and strong that scared the level four demonic monsters under him. They all trembled with fear, feeling helpless.

In the sky, that level five demonic monster began to shiver in panic as it felt Darren's powerful aura.

"You want to run?" Darren grinned, turned himself into a ray of light, shooting rapidly towards the demonic monster.

In the blink of an eye, Darren was blocking the monster's way. It hovered still in the sky, having nowhere to hide. It suddenly flapped its huge wings vigorously, sending a few feathers hurtling toward Darren. They were hard as rocks and powerful enough to shatter a hill into pieces.

But those feathers were insignificant to Darren. He didn't move a muscle, only staring at the intense feathers that shot towards his body. A ringing sound came forth from Darren's body, causing the feathers to gently fall on the ground like autumn leaves. The demonic monster was unable to inflict any damage at all.

This level five demonic monster had reached the top level of the primary stage of the Wonder Realm, but it still couldn't break Darren's defense. He was entirely satisfied with the result.

He recalled that when he had entered the demonic monster domain for the first time, he had had to rely on Elsa and another disciple of the Wonder Realm to kill a level five demonic monster, which they defeated with luck on their side. Elsa's sword core had been badly injured because of the fight. In a few months, he was now able to easily kill a level five demonic monster all by himself! Such big improvement in his strength would definitely surprise everyone in the martial arts world.

What was even more exciting was that Darren was just at Mysterious Realm, but he already managed to kill a master of the Wonder Realm. It meant that he overcame a virtually impossible task and bridged the enormous gap between the two realms.

Seeing that its feathers didn't inflict any damage to Darren, the level five demonic monster grew even more frightened. It flapped its huge wings and fiercely slapped them toward Darren. It wanted to play tricks on Darren and found a chance to run away again.

"Stop playing your games!"

Darren flashed through the sky, channeling his powerful blade and sword intent in a strike and sent towards the demonic monster.

Whoosh!

In the shadows of the blade and sword, the demonic monster yowled in agony, covered in dark blood. In the blink of an eye, a sword shadow flashed through the sky and slit the demonic monster's throat. Thick blood soon oozed from the cut on its wounds, pouring out like a river. Darren instantly used his spiritual sense to store the blood into his Space Ring.

This huge level five demonic monster had only provided half of the blood that Darren sought to obtain. This meant he would just need to go find another one!

He didn't want to waste his time anymore, so he directly flew towards the mountain in the distance to look for other level five monsters.

As he flew, Darren suddenly detected human presence in the jungle. He sensed that the human was being attacked by a demonic monster.

As Darren dashed into the jungle, he caught sight of a ten-year-old child. The child trembled with fear in front of a level two demonic monster, which had fiercely opened its bloody mouth and was about to devour him. On the ground not far away lay an old man covered in blood.

"Get lost!" Darren screamed.

Darren slightly raised his hand and waved at the level two demonic monster. It barely had time to yelp before it broke into pieces in a split second and disappeared completely.

"Sir, thank you so much!" that child cried out as he gazed at Darren in a mix of overwhelming admiration and fear. Darren looked like a god to him. After all, he had popped out from nowhere and saved him and his grandfather in the nick of time!

"You're welcome, kid. Why are you here in the demonic monster domain? It's very dangerous here," Darren asked kindly. He found out that the child had arrived the fourth stage of the Primary Realm, indicating that he had great potential in cultivation. The old man lay beside him had arrived the second stage of the Spirit Realm.

"Sir, my name is Drew. My grandfather and I came to collect the herbs in the mountain, but we got lost and were injured by the demonic monster. Sir, please, please save my grandfather! He is dying!" the boy pleaded, sobbing desperately. Without hesitation, Darren went straight to the old man, and prepared to cure his injuries.

The moment Darren turned his back to the boy, the boy flashed a dark and evil smile on his face. His innocent expression suddenly changed and green flames burned in his eyes.
