Chapter 871 The Half-step Emperor (1/2)

Darren was struck with great wonder and horror.

The atmosphere around the man was so horrible and invincible, making Darren have a hard time restraining his pounding heart. Recognizing the aura, he was in extreme awe.

He knew that this was an aura of a holy emperor.

So far, he had only sensed this kind of aura from the Primitive Emperor.

Before, Darren thought that the Primitive Emperor was the only holy emperor in the world, although he was only a remained soul.

With the appearance of this man, Darren realized that his cognition had been proven ill-founded.

Darren realized that both the black-armored man and himself were pressed too hard. They were having a hard time breathing and nearly falling on their knees.

”You can't be the true holy emperor,” Darren shouted as he recovered from his trance-like state.

He sensed that the man came from the Space-time Palace. If he had really reached the Emperor Realm, he would have brought his army with him and slaughtered the human race. It would be unreasonable not to use such a valuable and incredible resource. This made Darren think that the man must have some flaw he didn't know of.

”You don't know for sure, boy! No matter what, I can just knock off your head with just one finger,” the shadow arrogantly said.

Darren uttered no words and simply sneered. But despite the man's arrogant manner, Darren felt helpless and sulky. He knew in his heart that the man meant the words that he had just said.

”As I said, you can kill me. But you won't get the dark-spirit crystals,” Darren said after being silent for a while.

The shadow remained silent for a few moments.

He suddenly said, ”It doesn't matter. It's useless for a human being to take that thing. I believe that the superior leaders of the human race will take the crystals in exchange for you.”

”I see that you think highly of me.” Darren sneered. ”I don't want to disappoint you, but there are so many human geniuses. I am not merely a percentage of what they are. I am not as important as you think. After all, we are talking about the safety of the entire human race,” he said.

”Don't belittle yourself like this,” the shadow laughed. ”A talent like you can be considered a miracle in the history of human race. If you can harness more potential, you can be as mighty as Hiram the Great,” the shadow said, implying that human beings would never give Darren up because of the dark-spirit crystals.

After speaking, the shadow released a great wave of power and charged towards Darren.

Darren immediately felt his head getting woozy. His head was swaying as if an earthquake had just struck.
