"Is it over?"
Shi the Third looked downcast.
Moments later, Zhan Tian dragged a severed head through the air, step by agonizing step.
"Let go, let me go!"
The two struggled with all their might, but just as they regained a sliver of strength, Zhan Tian crushed it. This cycle repeated until they finally surrendered.
"Boy, come out!"
Chen Xuan emerged from a spatial rift, appearing beside Zhan Tian.
"It's you!"
Upon spotting Chen Xuan, Shi the Third could no longer contain himself.
It was him, back then in the royal city!
And now, it was him again!
In that instant, all reason fled.
"Bang!"
Zhan Tian slammed him forcefully into the ground with a palm strike.
"Dare to move again, and I'll excavate your crystal stone!"
He stared coldly at Shi the Third, who lay still on the ground.
"Go inform Duke Yuan!"
"Understood!"
Chen Xuan acknowledged, but his gaze lingered on the two members of the Tree-man Race held by Zhan Tian. Even with only one head remaining, they hadn't perished!
They're more resilient than cockroaches!
"What, do you fancy them? I'll give you one!"
With that, he offered one over.
"Don't say that; I am quite intrigued by their race. They don't simply die! If we can uncover their secret, then... tsk tsk...!"
Chen Xuan smacked his lips.
This regenerative capability is truly heaven-defying.
I wonder if his deductive ability can unravel this mystery.
"Fine, if you wish it, I'll preserve one for you, but for now... go, inform Duke Yuan immediately!"
Zhan Tian shot him a sharp look.
"Got it...."
Chen Xuan pouted. The old man truly turns his back and no longer recognizes people. If he hadn't been struck by two lightning bolts and caused this entire predicament, he wouldn't have been able to break through his realm!
But the old man is now a genuine prodigy.
Eliminating those at the peak of the eighth layer is as simple as slaughtering fowls.
With forty percent of the Sacred Body and the strength of the eighth layer's peak, it's formidable. Perhaps... even surpassing the early ninth layer.
Then, he took a step forward!
A moment later, he found himself above the Great Yu's military encampment, locating Duke Yuan's aura.
"Duke Yuan!"
Chen Xuan called out, unsure of this individual, and worried that if this elder suddenly attacked, he would be in grave danger.
"Who?!"
Duke Yuan was startled, and in the very next instant, his aura erupted as he bellowed angrily, "Show yourself!"
Even within the spatial rift, Chen Xuan felt rendered speechless.
"Duke Yuan, please remain calm. It is Prince Xuan of Molan Mansion!"
Chen Xuan quickly disclosed his identity.
"Prince Xuan? Come out!"
Duke Yuan commanded coldly.
Observing that his aura had slightly receded, Chen Xuan finally emerged from the spatial rift, appearing before Duke Yuan.
Duke Yuan scrutinized him intently.
Their previous encounter was but a fleeting glance on the Imperial City Street.
"How dare you trespass into the encampment! Do you not realize this is a capital offense!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. Why did it seem as if Duke Yuan harbored some animosity towards him?
"Elder Zhan has already dealt with the peak eighth-layer cultivators from the two clans of Yong’an Prefecture. He dispatched me to inform Duke Yuan to lead the army to Yong’an Prefecture without delay!"
"What?"
Duke Yuan exclaimed loudly, his eyes wide with disbelief, "Are you certain?"
But in the next moment, a realization dawned upon him.
"Has Zhan Tian broken through his cultivation?"
"Indeed!"
Chen Xuan nodded. "Elder Zhan now finds it as effortless as dispatching chickens to eliminate those at the peak of the eighth layer."
"Duke Yuan, you ought to hasten; Elder Zhan awaits!"
With that, he stepped back into the spatial rift.
"He has broken through!"
Duke Yuan murmured in astonishment, and after a moment of regaining his senses, he shouted, "Someone, attend me..."
...
Chen Xuan returned to Yong’an Prefecture.
At this moment, Zhan Tian was seated upon a shattered stone, while opposite him, Shi the Third stood with a pallid complexion, resembling a prisoner awaiting judgment.
Zhan Tian looked up at Chen Xuan.
"Duke Yuan was utterly dumbfounded!"
"Naturally!"
Zhan Tian exuded pride and immense satisfaction.
Now, even Duke Qin, the leader among the Three Dukes, must show him courtesy. This is the essence of power!
"Oh, what are you doing, sir?"
Chen Xuan inquired curiously; the posture evoked the image of an interrogation, with the two Tree-man Race heads placed to his left and right.
"The combined strength of the two clans in Yong’an Prefecture numbers less than ten thousand individuals, and the Clan Leader of the Tree-man Race is nowhere to be found!"
Zhan Tian stated gravely.
Collectively, the two clans should have comprised hundreds of thousands. Even if some ordinary members did not participate, there should have been conservatively over a hundred thousand. Yet, so few remain in Yong’an Prefecture?
Where have they all gone!?
"Not here?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, inquiring, "And what about the other two prefectures?"
"We're not sure yet, but I have a feeling they aren't there either," Zhan Tian admitted, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
With a beckoning gesture, Chen Xuan summoned one of the heads of the Tree-man Race, a powerful warrior at the peak of the eighth layer, to his side.
"What do you intend to do?" the Tree-man demanded, gazing at Chen Xuan with fierce defiance.
"Hehe!" Chen Xuan chuckled, "I want to examine your memory!"
A boisterous laugh erupted from the Tree-man, "Hahaha... With just you?" His expression turned mocking, as if he had heard the most amusing joke.
"So arrogant!" another voice exclaimed. "The consciousness sea of an eighth-layer peak expert is incredibly potent. Even he [referring to Zhan Tian] couldn't do it, let alone you!"
Chen Xuan cast a glance at Zhan Tian.
"Indeed, the consciousness sea of a peak eighth-layer cultivator is quite formidable. Peeking into his memories would be rather difficult; perhaps only the Hall Master could manage it," Zhan Tian commented.
"Let me try. But if he dies, don't blame me," Chen Xuan stated, determined to investigate if he could uncover the secrets of the Tree-man Race.
"If he dies, so be it. Do as you please, we still have another one," Zhan Tian replied with a shrug, unconcerned.
"Very well then!" Chen Xuan acknowledged. He understood that forcefully probing a powerful consciousness sea could lead to its collapse.
"Our old man said I can do as I please, so you'll just have to bear with it," Chen Xuan offered the Tree-man a placating smile.
However, the smile vanished in an instant.
"Divine Soul Technique!"
