501: Positioning, Eternal Life Tree

Chen Du had seen this passing Great Civilization before.

The giant bird before him was precisely the Great Civilization's Yun Que Clan member he had encountered in the Junior General Group during the Seven Regions Genius Battle.

A Tier 1 Great Civilization, the Yun Que Civilization!

He didn't know if it was due to the difference in Rank, but the Yun Que Civilization member before him felt very different from the one he had encountered previously. He couldn't quite pinpoint what was different at the moment.

To this Yun Que Civilization member, Chen Du was merely a bug that had suddenly appeared on her path. Instinctively, she extended her sharp claws, intending to casually crush him.

Her eyes narrowed, and a pressure strong enough to make a Martial Soul tremble locked onto Chen Du.

The wind pressure from her sharp claws and the "Mental Deterrence" released from her eyes were enough to paralyze and destroy the Rank 21 Humanoid life form before her.

These actions were fluid and seamless, like casually stepping on a passing ant while walking. As a Tier 1 Great Civilization, she was accustomed to other clans avoiding her.

She did not permit any other clan to appear on her path, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Splat!

Hmm?

After her claw missed, a hint of surprise flashed in the Yun Que Clan member's eyes.

This Small Civilization's clan member was actually unaffected by her Mental Deterrence?

Whoosh! Chen Du swiftly appeared directly in front of her.

Facing Chen Du, who had dodged her casual claw and appeared directly in front of her, the Yun Que Clan member was only slightly surprised.

In her eyes, being blocked for even a second by such a bug was a desecration of herself.

Almost as soon as Chen Du appeared before her, her wings, sharp as blades, swiftly swept towards his waist, intending to cut him in half.

However.

Clang!

A metallic clash echoed between the two.

Chen Du, with a single hand gripping his longsword, precisely blocked the waist-cutting strike.

"Control-level Martial Skill?!"

Not only that, his Martial Skill level is 1% higher than mine!

The Yun Que Clan member spoke for the first time, and also showed surprise for the first time.

For her, who had just stepped into Rank 24 and whose Martial Skill level had already reached 35% Control, this was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

Her Martial Skill level could be rated as Genius even among Tier 1 Great Civilizations.

Yet, this fellow who suddenly rushed into the Sky Dome Forbidden Zone actually had a higher Martial Skill level than her!

Although not by much, she was a Genius of a Great Civilization!

What kind of person was this bug?

He was merely from a Small Civilization with many hidden turtles!

How could he be stronger than her!?

The next second, the terrifying force transmitted from the sword caused her to quickly retreat to dissipate the power.

However, how could Chen Du let this opportunity slip? The opponent had initiated the conflict; did she think she could retreat unscathed now? How could things be that easy?

He immediately pursued her. Seeing this, the Yun Que Clan member first feigned weakness, then suddenly exerted force, her sharp beak glowing faintly as she bit towards Chen Du's longsword.

Chen Du had seen this ability once before, and through his studies in the First Ecological Zone, he knew its name.

Shatter Gold.

If this ability was used on metal, it could directly pulverize it.

Its effect was even more outstanding than outstanding.

It was an absolute bane for both Humanoid life forms like Chen Du who required weapons, and metal life forms.

Especially for metal life forms, encountering a Yun Que Civilization member of the same Rank almost guaranteed defeat.

Their proudly metallic bodies would shatter like biscuits if they collided with a Yun Que Civilization member's beak.

Since Chen Du had seen it once, he was well-prepared for it and naturally wouldn't fall for it. Not only did he dodge the opponent's insidious strike, but he also took the opportunity to directly place his longsword against the Yun Que Clan member's neck.

The victor was decided in an instant.

"Impossible!"

"The difference in Martial Skill level is only 1%, how could your power be superior to mine?"

"You're not an Overlord-level Civilization, how could you be stronger than me, Ru Yan, a Genius of the Yun Que Civilization!"

Facing death, Ru Yan voiced the doubts in her heart.

"Genius?"

"You are merely a Genius of your civilization, while I am the First Prodigy of our civilization. It is only natural that I win against you."

Chen Du said calmly, a hint of subtle dominance emanating from his composed tone.

First Prodigy?

Ru Yan was startled. What kind of outrageous statement was this?

The First Genius of a Small Civilization dared to compare himself to a Genius of a Tier 1 Great Civilization?

Did he understand the difference in Rank between them?

Yet, the opponent's strength was indeed greater than hers!

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing that the opponent didn't immediately take her life, Ru Yan asked.

"Lead the way."

"From now on, you will follow the route I tell you. If you dare to fly off course, I will kill you directly."

Chen Du said coldly, then jumped onto Ru Yan's back, hiding beneath one of the feathers in the center of her back, concealing his figure.

This was an idea Chen Du had on the spur of the moment after seeing the Yun Que Civilization member.

At this moment, Chen Du had already reached a height of 100,000 meters. The section of the longevity tree Foundation was not large; he had it wrapped in a technological sheath and carried it on his back like a sword.

Unfortunately, after coming up, that section of the longevity tree Foundation showed no reaction. The Sky Dome Forbidden Zone was vast, and for non-aerial clans, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became.

Normally, without any clues, it would be impossible to find the eternal tree.

Therefore, Chen Du had already prepared a countermeasure before coming up.

Hiding under the feather, Chen Du now held a short spear in his hand.

This short spear was not a weapon; it was a reward Chen Du obtained in the Martial Artist Level Challenge Zone of the Land of Finality.

Locking Spear!

This was a one-time consumable item. After speaking the opponent's name, a map, refreshing 60 times per second, would form in one's mind.

The name would be the same as the life form one thought of, with no possibility of error, provided the target was not dead. The map would last for one month.

This was an item somewhat similar to a conceptual Divine Power.

Its effect was very powerful; Chen Du would not use it if it weren't for the eternal tree.

However, Chen Du couldn't be sure if this item would be useful. From the description, the Locking Spear could only locate life forms. Did the eternal tree count as a life form?

Chen Du didn't know if it could be located.

He could only try.

And this Yun Que Clan member could serve as his umbrella.

Even if the Locking Spear failed to locate it, Chen Du could still ride Ru Yan to explore this vicinity.

Although Ru Yan's Rank was not particularly high, only Rank 24, her identity as a Tier 1 Great Civilization was there. Even if she encountered an Advanced Aerial Warrior, the other party would not actively attack her.

"Wait!"

"I haven't agreed yet..."

Before Ru Yan could finish speaking, she felt a chill on her back.

Chen Du said nothing, his actions conveyed everything.

In High Martial Civilization, there was data on the Yun Que Civilization. Chen Du knew that the other party was also a normal life form.

A so-called normal life form meant one without those chaotic immortal abilities like super regeneration or resurrection.

The feather Chen Du was hiding under was not an ordinary feather; it was the hardest feather on the Yun Que Civilization member's body, because beneath this feather was the center of her body.

It was also where the Yun Que Clan member's heart was located. Chen Du now held his longsword against this spot; if the opponent made any abnormal move, he could directly kill her.

"Locate, eternal tree!"

Chen Du held the sword in his right hand against the opponent's vital point, and used his Mental Energy to transmit these words to the Locking Spear in his left hand.
