Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1043 - 524: Zhan Tian Explodes! (Part 3)
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
Streams of Spiritual Power forcefully drilled into his sea of consciousness.
Although the Divine Soul Technique was a Divine Technique obtained in the Lower Realm, it was vastly different from its original form after several upgrades.
In an instant!
The man’s eyes turned vacant.
"Huh?"
Observing this, Zhan Tian displayed a hint of surprise on his face. "This kid is becoming increasingly mysterious? What sort of divine technique is this?"
A miniature figure reappeared within the man’s sea of consciousness.
"It’s quite sturdy."
He roughly assessed it, but that was all.
This was likely connected to the man being a Martial Cultivator.
With a wave of Chen Xuan’s hand, the man’s memories surfaced one by one under the power of the Divine Soul Technique.
The recollection of the battle with Elder Zhan...
The scene within the Hidden Forest Abyss...
...
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan suddenly raised an eyebrow. He discovered that the Tree-man Race possessed a core, a green Xiaomiao, residing within the Celestial Eye Forest of the Hidden Forest Abyss. Even if they perished, as long as the core remained, rebirth was possible.
"What a miraculous race!"
At this moment, Chen Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
However, this process demanded a significant amount of time, spanning at least several centuries, or even a millennium.
Furthermore, even after rebirth, they would have to commence their cultivation journey from the very beginning.
The reason behind the Tree-man Race's formidable recovery abilities was attributed to this core, which ceaselessly absorbed the ambient energy of the Celestial Eye Forest.
This explanation seemed logical.
After all, recovery abilities do not materialize out of thin air, do they?
Nevertheless, Chen Xuan's expression turned to disappointment, as he had believed it to be an innate talent and was contemplating its research.
Now, it appeared that such hope was slim.
Unless he ventured into the Hidden Forest Abyss to personally witness this so-called Celestial Eye Forest.
Just as he was delving into the man’s memories, Duke Yuan finally made his arrival.
"Zhan Tian!"
"Hmm!"
He slightly lifted his head, and a brilliant gleam of jade light flickered within his aged eyes.
In an instant!
Duke Yuan, upon meeting his gaze, experienced an intense, piercing pain in his eyes and hastily averted his vision.
"So powerful!"
Duke Yuan was inwardly astonished.
He, a powerhouse at the Peak of the Eighth Layer, could not even withstand a direct gaze!
And the corners of Zhan Tian’s mouth curved upwards slightly.
"Heh heh!"
He had done it intentionally, as this old fellow had frequently mocked him in the past. The esteemed leader of Great Yu was merely at the late stage of the Eighth Layer.
What a disgrace!
He had given him a thorough thrashing in front of everyone on this occasion, utilizing his robust physique, nearly shattering his Path of Slaughter.
Had it not been for Emperor Yu's intervention, who knew what the outcome would have been!
Following that incident, several of Great Yu’s formidable cultivators truly bore witness to Zhan Tian’s might.
From that point onward, no one dared to mention his cultivation realm again, for fear of genuinely provoking his wrath!
"Congratulations!"
Duke Yuan suppressed his shock and a flicker of apprehension, speaking deliberately.
"It's nothing,"
Zhan Tian responded indifferently, as if it were a matter of little consequence.
The expression on Duke Yuan’s face made him feel inclined to deliver a couple of slaps, but... upon second thought, he decided against it.
He couldn't defeat him previously! How could he possibly now?
Currently, within Great Yu, the only individuals capable of suppressing him were Emperor Yu and the Hall Master, but the latter remained detached from worldly affairs and was not counted among Great Yu’s populace.
A Unique Sacred Body, coupled with being at the Peak of the Eighth Layer—what an anomaly.
"The individuals from these two races are exhibiting suspicious behavior. Dispatch someone to investigate and ascertain the nature of their conspiracy."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, his expression immediately turned grave.
"Hmm!"
"Arrangements have already been made for individuals to scour the entirety of Yong’an Prefecture, and similar measures are in place for the other two prefectures."
This did not necessitate his direct instruction; all preparations were completed before their arrival.
"By the way, what is he doing?"
Duke Yuan inquired, gesturing towards Chen Xuan.
But in the very next moment, with a "bang," the head of the Tree-man Race man abruptly exploded.
Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, displaying a sense of helplessness. "It exploded!"
"If it exploded, it exploded. It's no significant matter,"
Zhan Tian stated, having anticipated such an outcome. He then pointed to another head. "Do you desire it? Shall we continue this game?"
This remark rendered Chen Xuan speechless.
What enjoyment could possibly be derived from a mere head?
"No need, I have already extracted all the available information."
"You are capable of searching his memories?"
Zhan Tian’s expression grew serious. Could he truly achieve this as a powerhouse at the Peak of the Eighth Layer?!
And Duke Yuan stood by, equally astonished.
These two casually engaged in their actions, obliterating a Peak of the Eighth Layer powerhouse! He was truly enlightened.
Zhan Tian naturally perceived his reaction but paid it no mind, continuing to question, "Did you discover anything of value?"
"No!"
"The memories pertaining to the two races' predicament were sealed. The moment they surfaced, they detonated!"
"You don't need to go to such extremes."
At this particular juncture, Shi the Third slowly articulated, "All of our memories, including my own, have been sealed by Qingyu Xian's Secret Technique. Upon activation, the individual instantly explodes."
Hearing this revelation, Zhan Tian's countenance became grave.
If the two races harbored such vigilant defenses, a profound conspiracy must be afoot!
Naturally, Chen Xuan paid it no heed. He advanced toward Shi the Third and crouched down, inquiring, "Even though you are an ancestor of the Stone Race, your standing is comparable to Qingyu Xian's. How could you willingly permit him to seal your memories?"
"Strength reigns supreme; do you not find it utterly ridiculous to pose such a question?"
Shi the Third scoffed.
Willingly? Preposterous!
However, the might of the Tree-man Race vastly exceeded that of the Stone Race. For the sake of his people, he was left with no alternative.
"What is our next course of action?"
Duke Yuan directed his gaze toward Zhan Tian, posing the question.
"I am uncertain. My sole responsibility is extermination; you shall manage the remainder. This head is yours to command, and he, too, falls under your purview."
He found himself too indolent to contend with such trifling affairs.
Subsequently, he addressed Chen Xuan, stating, "Come, accompany this old man as we patrol the three prefectures."
