"Is it over?"
Shi the Third looked despondent.
A moment later, Zhan Tian dragged a severed head through the air step by step.
"Let go, let go of me!"
The two struggled with all their might, but just as they recovered a bit, Zhan Tian shattered their renewed strength. The cycle repeated until the two just gave up.
"Boy, come out!"
Chen Xuan stepped out from a spatial rift and came to Zhan Tianâs side.
"Itâs you!"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, Shi the Third finally couldnât suppress himself.
Back then in the royal city, it was also him!
And now itâs him again!
In an instant, he lost his reason!
"Bang!"
Zhan Tian struck with his palm, slamming him harshly on the ground.
"Dare to move again, and Iâll dig out your crystal stone!"
He gazed coldly at Shi the Third, who lay motionless on the ground.
"You go inform Duke Yuan!"
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded, but his gaze fell on the two Tree-man Race members in Zhan Tianâs hands. Even with just one head left, they didnât die!
Theyâre even tougher than cockroaches!
"Why, do you like them? Iâll give you one!"
With that, he handed one over.
"Donât say that, Iâm actually quite interested in their race. They donât die like this! If we discover their secret, then... tsk tsk...!"
Chen Xuan smacked his lips.
This healing talent is simply defying the heavens.
Not sure if his ability to deduce could figure all this out.
"Alright, if you want, Iâll save one for you, but now... immediately go inform Duke Yuan!"
Zhan Tian glared at him.
"Got it...."
Chen Xuan pouted. The old man really turns his face and doesnât recognize people. If he hadnât struck him with two bolts of lightning and caused all this mess, he wouldnât have been able to break through the realm!
But the old man is truly a freak now.
Killing those at the peak of the eighth layer is as easy as slaughtering chickens.
With forty percent of the Sacred Body plus the peak of the eighth layerâs strength, itâs terrifying. Perhaps... even stronger than the early ninth layer.
Then, he took a step forward!
A moment later, he arrived above the Great Yuâs military camp and found Duke Yuanâs aura.
"Duke Yuan!"
Chen Xuan called out, after all, not being familiar with him, if this old man suddenly attacked him, heâd be in trouble.
"Who?!"
Duke Yuan was startled, and in the next moment, his aura exploded as he angrily shouted, "Come out!"
Even in the spatial rift, Chen Xuan felt speechless.
"Duke Yuan, donât be agitated, Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion!"
Chen Xuan quickly revealed his identity.
"Prince Xuan? Come out!"
Duke Yuan snapped coldly.
Seeing his aura slightly retract, Chen Xuan finally left the spatial rift and appeared before Duke Yuan.
Duke Yuan stared at him intently.
The last time they met was with a glance on Imperial City Street.
"How dare you, trespassing into the camp, donât you know this is a capital offense!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. Why did it feel like Duke Yuan had an issue with him?
"Elder Zhan has already dealt with the peak eighth-layer masters of the two clans from Yongâan Prefecture. He sent me to inform Duke Yuan to lead the army to Yongâan Prefecture immediately!"
"What?"
Duke Yuan exclaimed loudly, eyes wide, "Are you sure?"
But in the next instant, he guessed.
"Zhan Tian broke through the realm?"
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded, "Elder Zhan now finds it as easy as killing chickens to kill those at the peak of the eighth layer."
"Duke Yuan, you should hurry; Elder Zhan is waiting!"
Then he stepped into the spatial rift.
"He broke through!"
Duke Yuan murmured in shock and returned to his senses a moment later, shouting, "Someone, get here..."
...
Chen Xuan returned to Yongâan Prefecture.
At this moment, Zhan Tian sat on a shattered stone, while opposite him, Shi the Third stood with a pale face, like a prisoner awaiting judgment.
Zhan Tian looked up at Chen Xuan.
"Duke Yuan was dumbfounded!"
"Of course!"
Zhan Tian was proud and very pleased.
Now even Duke Qin, leader of the Three Dukes, has to be courteous when meeting him. This is power!
"Oh, what are you doing, sir?"
Chen Xuan was curious; this stance looked like an interrogation, and the two heads of Tree-man Race were placed to his left and right.
"The two clans of Yongâan Prefecture combined have less than ten thousand people, and the Clan Leader of the Tree-man Race is not here!"
Zhan Tian spoke solemnly.
Combining the two clans, there should have been at least hundreds of thousands. Even if some ordinary ones didnât come out, there were conservatively over a hundred thousand.
But now thereâs only this few in Yongâan Prefecture?
Where did they go!?
"Not here?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What about the other two prefectures?"
"Not sure yet, but I feel like theyâre not there either."
Zhan Tian felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Chen Xuan beckoned with his finger, and one of the heads of Tree-man Race at the peak of the eighth layer flew to him.
"What do you want to do?"
The man looked at him fiercely.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Want to check your memory!"
"Hahaha...."
The man laughed manically, as if hearing a great joke, his expression becoming scornful, "With just you?"
"Arrogant!"
"The consciousness sea of an eighth-layer peak is incredibly powerful, not to mention you? Even he canât do it!"
Chen Xuan glanced at Zhan Tian.
"The consciousness sea of a peak eighth layer is quite strong, trying to look into his memory is a bit difficult, only Lord Hall Master might be able to do it!"
"Letâs give it a try, but if he dies, donât blame me."
Even so, he wanted to try and see if he could find the Tree-man Raceâs secret.
"If he dies, he dies, do as you like, thereâs still another one!"
Zhan Tian shrugged indifferently.
"Thatâs fine then!"
A powerful consciousness sea, forcefully soul-searching might cause a collapse.
"Our old man said I can play as I wish, so bear with it!"
Chen Xuan gave the man a reassuring smile.
But in an instant, the smile vanished.
"Divine Soul Technique!"
