Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3713

Silence blanketed the entire Imperial Sky Palace. All eyes were fixed on Darryl.

'That is madness! He must be the first human ever to challenge the Nine Heaven Emperor like that!'

The Nine Heaven Emperor's face was as dark as thunder. He would never be able to live that down if he did not do something about Darryl's brazen provocation. Instantly, the atmosphere became palpable, causing everyone to hold their breath.

Suddenly, the Nine Heaven Emperor laughed and said, "Well done! You're the first person who has ever challenged me since I came to power." His smile did not reach his eyes as he said that, but his anger had shot through the roof.

Even though he was very far away from Darryl, he appeared before him in the blink of an eye. He was able to do that by using his unique skill, Void Shift.

He looked disdainfully at Darryl and said, "It's quite rare for someone to be able to withstand so many Heavenly Thunderbolts, but even so, that doesn't mean you have the right to challenge me!"

A vast, terrifying aura erupted from the Nine Heaven Emperor, and in an instant, the entire imperial Sky Palace fell into darkness as a deep, terrifying pressure filled the air. The Nine Heaven Emperor raised his right hand and attacked Darryl.

'Sh*t! This is not good!' Darryl's face changed. There was no time for him to dodge, so he was left with no choice but to activate the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art to meet the attack head-on.

The two attacks collided fiercely, and the impact swept toward their surroundings like a windstorm, sending Odlin, the officials, the generals, and the soldiers flying from where they were. All colors drained from their faces even though their blood surged in their veins.

After steadying themselves, they turned to look at Darryl with shock. 'He's strong! I can't believe his attack is on par with the Nine Heaven Emperor.'

The Nine Heaven Emperor and Darryl also took a few steps in the air. The Nine Heaven Emperor's expression changed while he tried to steady himself. Darryl's face turned green then pale before returning to normal.

"You!" The Nine Heaven Emperor looked at Darryl with disbelief written all over his face. He was shocked to the core. 'Impossible! Even the Power of Bird Ancestor can't explain how he increased his power so much in a short period.'

Sensing his shock, Darryl smiled and said, "Nine Heaven Emperor, do you think the Power of Bird Ancestor is the only power I possess? If so, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to take your Heavenly Thunderbolts head-on. I don't mind telling you, but I bumped into your brother, Emperor Aurelias, in the Immortal Tomb. He performed the Five Elements Tempered Body on me and then passed the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art to me. I wouldn't have dared to challenge you if it was not for that."

'What?' A spasm went through the Nine Heaven Emperor's body, and his mind began to buzz. 'So that's why he could withstand the Heavenly Thunderbolts! But Emperor Aurelias is a cold person. Why would he pass the Nine Heaven Holy Profound Art to a human? He doesn't seem to be lying, though.'
