Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1112

Time flew by quickly in the month that Darren had been immersed in cultivation.

Swish!

Darren opened his eyes. Absorbing the divine crystal had indeed helped him to improve his cultivation base. Nevertheless, despite the inexplicable increase in assimilation speed, he only finished absorbing one divine crystal.

Now, his cultivation base was at the peak of the Emperor Realm.

According to the information Darren received, it was impossible for a cultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm to pass the first stage of the Desolate Burning Mountain.

In his memory, Darren found that tens of thousands of people at the peak of the Emperor Realm from different mortal worlds had died at the first stage of the mountain.

"I hope I get the chance."

Darren didn't feel desperate as his methods and skills were different from those of the other holy emperors. He was also stronger.

At that thought, Darren stood.

When he began to move, the space started to tremble.

"Are you ready?"

asked the Space Spirit.

"I'm ready. Here is the remaining divine crystal. Since I don't need it, I will return it to you." Darren tossed the remaining divine crystal.

Such an action startled the Space Spirit.

"I don't know if you are smart or dumb." The Space Spirit laughed coldly as he sent the divine crystal back into Darren's hands.

Before Darren could say anything, the Space Spirit shouted, "Prepare to enter."

The space around Darren started to distort, and a powerful force pulled his soul. In a flash, he disappeared from the darkness.

It wasn't long before Darren landed in a new world.

With widened eyes, he surveyed his surroundings.

When he had heard that the place was called the Desolate Burning Mountain, he pictured a barren, dead place. But the scene before him was different from what he had imagined.

The land was not desolate. On the contrary, birds sang, and flowers bloomed everywhere. It was a beautiful world, full of sounds and colors!

Darren gazed into the distance, and on the horizon, he saw mountains that appeared to have nine levels. That was the nine stages of the Desolate Burning Mountain.

Darren, of course, had to contain the joy and wonder coursing through him. As much as he wanted to admire the beautiful scenery, he needed to figure out how to pass the first test.

In front of him was a vast expanse of grassland. At the end of the green stretch stood a big tree. So long were its branches that they seemed to extend into the distance as though they were connected with the second mountain.

Darren observed for a while. He figured if he wanted to pass the first stage, he needed to walk along the branch of that big tree until he reached the second mountain.

"This is too simple."

Before entering the first mountain, Darren had prepared himself to encounter roaring flames. He also thought that fierce demons would besiege him.

However, walking along the branch of the tree seemed to be the challenge of this mountain. It was too easy for him to believe.

However, Darren was filled with a sense of foreboding. If it were as simple as what he saw, all the powerful warriors from various races, who were at the peak of the Emperor Realm, would not have died here.

Unwilling to let down his guard, Darren moved forward, step by step, into the green grassland in front of him.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of ordinary wildflowers in the alive grass around Darren.

Bees flew from flower to flower, and birds sang in peace.

Inch by inch, Darren made progress until he arrived in the middle of the green grassland.

"Nothing unusual has happened yet." Darren became more alert.

Buzz...

He saw a bee with honey on one of its legs pass by.

It circled Darren as though curious about the creature that had suddenly appeared.

Moments later, a colorful butterfly flew closer and danced around Darren.

"Little things, you are so happy to live in such a peaceful world."

Darren stretched out his hand, and in the next second, a beautiful butterfly landed in his palm.

He smiled. Everything was so beautiful in the warm sunshine.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Darren felt a tingling pain in his palm, and the beautiful butterfly's body instantly filled with blood.

"Ah!"

More sharp pains startled Darren. The stinging sensation was everywhere—his head, back, and legs.

"So, you are not gentle, harmless creatures!" Only then did he realize that the appearance of these tiny creatures had deceived him.

They were all bloody demons.

Bang!

Darren slapped a butterfly.

Slap!

The butterfly flew back a dozen feet, but it was unharmed.

"What a strong body!" Darren exclaimed.

The butterfly was so strong that a cultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm couldn't crush it.

It dawned on Darren that he was already in the middle of a test and that these insects were his greatest enemies!

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

As soon as Darren released his blade and sword intents, they condensed into several swords and blades, forming a shield around him.

But this didn't deter the bugs. More bees and butterflies surrounded him.

These seemingly weak creatures not only withstood Darren's blade and sword intents, but they also attacked him fiercely.

With his strong spiritual sense, he could see that the cute and active little creatures had sharp teeth and resembled demons.

"Humph!"

Darren snorted. As a cultivator at the peak of the Emperor Realm, he wouldn't allow himself to be eaten by these bugs!

Splash!

A blood sea, full of Shura Force that had been strengthened countless times, emerged behind Darren.

When he stepped into the Emperor Realm, his power and skills had also improved significantly.

His Shura Force was only inferior to that of the real Shura, who was suppressed in one of the palaces in the forbidden areas.

When his Shura Force descended with the aura of the Darkest Abyss, the swarm of bees and butterflies seemed to retreat. Perhaps they had a natural fear of this aura.

Although afraid, they still buzzed around Darren.

One by one, regardless of their trepidation, they launched their attacks.

After circling for a while, the bees and butterflies charged at Darren again. Only this time, their number increased dramatically.

Boom! Boom! Boom

When the small flying creatures collided with the Shura Force, Darren thought they would die. However, they bombarded him with the force of holy emperors!

The power of the impact was so great that cracks appeared in this space.

Besieged by so many bees and butterflies, all Darren could do was resist. He could not launch an attack as there were too many bugs, and each had a strong body. If Darren attacked rashly, he would probably be swallowed by the other bugs before he could kill one of them.

'Fire! How could I forget that I am the True Fire Spiritual Body and that I have the godly fire?'

An idea occurred to Darren then. However, he wasn't sure if the fire would have any effect on these insects. After all, they were in the Emperor Realm.

Darren decided that he had nothing to lose by trying.

Crash.

Numerous dazzling flames suddenly appeared in the sky. A fraction of a second later, fire from outer space fell from the depths of the sky. Darren activated the godly fire in his body and summoned that fire.

In an instant, the beautiful world was filled with flames.
