Yama tried activating the arcane skill, but the creature transformed from Sheffield's broken body part didn't respond.
"This is bad."
Yama frowned. It seemed this thing was no longer under his control. Because there were still eight chains shackling the creature's body, he still couldn't move.
From the looks of things, Yama had no choice but to fight with the blood essence creature in order to survive.
"Will Palm!"
Yama made a move. There was something strange about his skill, as though it used a unique law force.
"Ha-ha, do you think I'm scared of you?"
The blood essence creature laughed evilly. Wielding the double-edged blade, he then turned into a blood mist, shooting straight towards Yama.
The two clashed, exchanging thousands of blows. The ground suffered as collateral damage, its surface riddled with holes.
"Do you think you can hurt me? Did you forget that I am at the Superior God Realm?"
After fighting for a while, Yama backed up and raised his hand. Then, an altar appeared on his palm. A streak of lightning descended from the sky and struck the altar.
"Listen to my command: all ghosts and evil spirits, attack!"
Then, the sounds of gloomy sobs, maniacal laughter, and piercing screams came out of the altar in Yama's hand.
In an instant, the sky was blotted, as though the sun suddenly disappeared. It was completely dark.
Countless ghosts and evil spirits swarmed out, surrounding the blood essence creature.
Eyeing the blood essence creature warily, Yama didn't even try to think of ways to kill him off. Rather, he focused all his effort on trying to find a way to escape.
Closing his eyes, he muttered the secret spell quickly.
"Go!"
The word then turned into a strange rune and fell into Sheffield's broken body part.
Although the broken body part resisted at first, he still had to move under the spell. It didn't take long before his speed picked up.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Together, Yama flew far away with Sheffield's broken body part, heading straight for the cave.
Bang!
Blood-red light burst out blinding Yama momentarily. When he regained his sight, he realized the countless ghosts and evil spirits he just summoned had just been blasted into nothingness.
The blood essence creature instantly caught sight of the retreating Yama. Raising the double-edged blade in his hand, he chased after him.
Thankfully, Yama's speed almost equaled that of the blood essence creature. If it went on like this, he would definitely be able to escape.
However, things never seemed to go your way when you needed them to. Just as Yama felt a flicker of hope, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Shura Avery!"
Yama exclaimed in surprise. If Avery also made a move, there was no way he could fight both of them. Not to mention, Sheffield's broken body part might turn against on him at any time.
"Stop." The cold voice made Yama quiver slightly.
"Shura Avery, are you also trying to stop me? If you insist on helping him, I don't mind killing you, even if it means risking my life." Yama's eyes flashed coldly.
"I'm not here to stop you. What do you take me for? I'm not stupid enough to let him grow stronger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Avery completely ignored Yama and rushed towards the blood essence creature behind him.
He let out a fierce battle cry, then collided into the blood essence creature.
"You bastard! How dare you stand in my way?" the blood essence creature roared in fury.
"If I don't stop you from growing any stronger now, I will be killed first. Did you think I didn't know that?" Avery said through gritted teeth, launching another fierce attack.
Seeing that the two were preoccupied, Yama heaved a sigh of relief and spared no time. He proceeded to fly towards the cave at once.
Meanwhile, from outside the tomb, Darren, the Rule Soul Avatar, and Jenifer were in a wilderness.
"Avatar, my soul will soon return to the Tussle Region."
After Darren went back to the outside world, he had to consider the issue of time. Back when he entered the tomb, there was not much time left before his soul had to return.
Now, the time began to lapse normally again. At most eight minutes later, his soul would return to his body in the Tussle Region.
The veins all over his body popped out from the effort. He then forced the part of soul that had been split off to stay in his body. The rest of the soul flew out.
"Resurrection Force!"
When the Rule Soul Avatar saw that Darren's soul was successfully split, he immediately activated the Resurrection Force to help Darren repair his soul.
Then the Rule Soul Avatar released another Resurrection Force to repair the piece of soul that had been left in Darren's new body.
After a few breathless moments, the pain subsided, but there was still a slight throb.
"How is it going? Were you able to do it?"
Darren looked at his body. He closed his eyes weakly, as his aura of life was exhausted.
"Resurrection Force!"
The Rule Soul Avatar released the Resurrection Force once more.
Buzz!
The eyes of Darren's new body opened abruptly, looking as cold as ice.
"It worked!" Darren breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Bravo!" This whole time, Jenifer was standing to the side, quietly observing. She was stunned at what she had just seen. When she gathered her bearings, she said, "Wow! He looked just like you two. You have to give him a name to distinguish him from you."
"Yes, but what name should I give to the second avatar?" Darren's brows furrowed.
"He has the Merging Force, so why not call him Merle Chu?" the Rule Soul Avatar suggested.
"Okay then. His name will be Merle Chu." Darren nodded stoutly.
"My real body, Rule Soul Avatar, please help me grow stronger."
At this moment, the second avatar spoke in a cold voice, similar to the Rule Soul Avatar's when he was newly birthed.
"My soul will soon return to the Tussle Region, and you can follow the Rule Soul Avatar. His name is Xavier Chu. He will help you grow stronger," Darren said to his new avatar.
"Okay," Merle Chu replied coldly, like an empty tin can.
