Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren felt his heartbeat quicken as the blood red claw approached him. He was certain that he would be blown up once it managed to touch any part of his body.

He let out a cry and raised his speed to the maximum.

In the blink of an eye, the blood red claw was about to touch his robe.

Darren dove forward and into the cave with all his strength.

However, his timing was off and the claw managed to clutch onto his leg.

"Humph!" Darren turned around and clasped his palm into a blade. Without a moment's hesitation, he lopped off his own thigh.

"Howl!"

A terrifying roar burst out from outside the cave.

Darren rushed deeper into the cave in case that the claw decided to chase him.

But the claw stopped right in front of the cave and didn't come in. It dared not to march forward for some reason that Darren didn't know.

"Oh."

Darren breathed a heavy sigh of relief. For now, at least, he was safe.

He then gathered his god's power to heal his severed leg.

Once his wound had fully recovered, he went back into the depths of the cave.

"I need to break through this!"

Darren continued to work on the stone wall. He focused all of his strength on his fist and gave it a heavy blast.

Stones fell on the ground as the ground rumbled. With only a single punch, he managed to make a big hole on the stone wall.

He kept punching until his fists were broken and bloody, and then he focused on healing his hands. Once he'd healed them, he began another round of blasts.

He didn't notice how much time had passed when he finally cleared over one thousand feet into the stone wall.

Since it was nothing but stone ahead, he had no choice but to press on.

Darren kept on without a stop until one day, the stone wall suddenly fell down.

Past the wall was a mysterious space.

"I've broken through six kilometers of stone!" he exclaimed.

He then looked at his hands, and he couldn't remember how many times they had been broken and mended during the process.

Darren quickly kicked away the stones in front of him and stepped into the space. Deep in his heart, he was expecting that this passage would lead him to the hell.

However, a few moments later, he was gravely disappointed.

This was not the exit of the cave. He only found himself inside a stone chamber.

Darren was a little irritated, but on a second thought, he decided it didn't matter too much to him. It seemed that there was no danger and he didn't need to worry about time. As long as he was patient and went on working on the stone wall, he knew he'd manage to find an exit.

He calmed down and analyzed his surroundings. The stone chamb

ving no other choice, he sat down cross legged.

Since it was not possible for him to break through, then he had to take this time to go on his cultivation. He continued to absorb the god's power to enhance his physical strength.

But now there was a problem.

Now his physical strength had reached the limit, and there was no way to improve by absorbing the god's power.

"What bad luck! I'm trapped once again!" he exclaimed. Darren furrowed his brows. If he was unable to improve his physical strength, it was out of the question for him to face another spear attack. He had nowhere to go.

"Damn it! How could that lifeless thing have to block my way?" Frustrated, Darren cursed and shouted.

"Lifeless? Lifeless!" He suddenly had a eureka moment. "That's right. Since he's not alive, then it means that he is just a corpse with powerful physical strength. Then why don't I just assimilate his power?"

As a matter of fact, the Evolution Force Darren assimilated from the creatures that had just died was mainly their physical strength.

"Assimilate!" Darren silently drew out his Assimilating Force and drove it into the body of the lifeless man.

Immediately, a ray of purple light gushed and poured towards Darren like a river in the air.

"Well done!" he shouted delightedly. As the Evolution Force kept pouring into his body. He felt his body began changing dramatically.

The meridians throughout his body began to give a pale golden glow and his elixir field became solidified.

When it was done, Darren felt his body full of strength. It was a refreshing feeling for him.

"Although my strength was only at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, my body has just received a considerable benefit."

Darren was overwhelmed with joy.
