Chapter 889 Refuse To Help (1/2)

In the darkness, Darren stood face to face with the holy emperor's soul.

Darren could feel the holy emperor's power slowly slipping from his grasp. As a result, he felt the holy emperor's soul begin to overpower him.

”If you're trying to kill me, it won't work. I still have enough strength to flee, you know,”

Darren said.

Darren still had eight drops of the light red liquid that could help him reach the peak state of a half-step emperor at any time. Even if the fighting power of the emperor's soul was higher than his, it was impossible for him to kill Darren in an instant. Darren definitely had the opportunity to rush out.

”I am aware. I won't kill you,” the holy emperor's soul replied coldly.

”Why have you come to me, then?” Darren asked.

”I need your help.”

Darren was stunned. ”What do you want from me?” he slowly began. ”And why should I help you?”

The holy emperor's soul let out a low chuckle. ”Don't you think you owe me a favor after I let you inherit my power?” Darren narrowed his eyes.

”You may be right, but I discovered how to get this power for myself this time. You had no part in it.”

As Darren spoke, the holy emperor's soul burned brightly. Tension filled the air.

”But, if you are in need of assistance... Tell me and I'll see what I can do.” Darren finished.

This seemed to calm the holy emperor's soul down.

”I need to break free from this place,” he said.

Darren furrowed his brow. The soul had been trapped here for thousands of years. Surely, he should have been able to escape with his own might alone. If the holy emperor's soul, with all his power, couldn't break free, what could Darren do?

”What you ask for is not much. However, I don't know if I have the ability to help you,” Darren said frankly.

”I know you are. All you have to do is to bring in my real body. If you do that, the power that is keeping me here will lose its strength and I will be free!” the soul said.

”Your real body?” At that time, Darren was not aware that the soul's real body was the holy emperor's corpse that was being held by the Space-time Palace.

”Yes... Those lowly, filthy creatures stole my body and kept me trapped here...” the holy emperor's soul growled.
