510: Chosen and the only one

Ooh!

As the Eternal Tree activated the ability of its Tenth Mystic Treasure, an unknown beast's roar suddenly echoed across the heavens and earth.

In Chen Du's ears, this sound was like the roar of an ancient demon god, soul-stirring and terrifying.

Boom!

The red star plate atop the Eternal Tree shot a red beam upwards.

The beam, like fireworks, exploded without touching any obstacles, forming a hexagonal magic array with a diameter of about a thousand meters.

The next second, a giant four-fingered black arm, as if scorched by a great fire, extended from the hexagonal magic array.

With an unstoppable momentum, it clawed towards Chen Du.

"This is..."

Chen Du murmured, this arm instantly made him think of something.

Isn't this the black hand that stretched out from the Egg God when he was Underground!?

Chen Du clearly remembered that as long as life approached within a sufficient range, the Egg God would extend a black hand to pull them in, forcibly completing an equivalent exchange.

And now, this Eternal Tree actually possessed the ability to summon such a black hand!

And its size was much, much larger!

What was the relationship between its ability and the Egg God?

Although not the same type as etherealization, to some extent, both were extremely terrifying abilities!

Almost simultaneously, Chen Du also thought of his etherealization ability; through that previous second, he had already transmitted his data to Vice Chen Du in the Crystal Space.

Could it be that every Ten Secret Treasures is connected to a space, or a world?

The battlefield changed rapidly, and Chen Du had no time to think further.

Facing the giant black hand, he not only felt an inescapable sensation but also a sense of certain death!

"It's useless, my ability is unavoidable!"

To make Chen Du even more desperate, the Eternal Tree spoke.

"Even if you use that ability from the beginning now, it's useless."

"The Ultimate Shattering Claw's attack can pass through time, space, Karma, and any existing or non-existing people, things, or events; it is an attack that, once locked on, will absolutely hit."

"Furthermore, it has a beheading effect on life whose Life Strength Rank is less than or equal to mine!"

"You, at Rank 21, are certain to die!"

"I don't know what your Ten Secret Treasures ability specifically is, but unless you use that ability first, I cannot lock onto you."

"Otherwise, as long as you are not in that initial, non-existent state, I can lock onto you!"

"But in reality, I can definitely lock onto you, because the initiative is in my hands; my Ten Secret Treasures ability counters your Ten Secret Treasures ability!"

"Goodbye, fallen Genius!"

As the Eternal Tree's voice fell, the giant black hand was almost about to hit Chen Du.

The giant hand's speed was not fast, but it was indeed as the opponent said, giving Chen Du a feeling that once locked on, it would definitely hit.

Beheading, for life whose Rank is less than or equal to yours, right... In terms of beheading effect alone, the Ultimate Shattering Claw is even more overbearing than a Domain Warrior's Domain; it not only has fewer restrictions but also doesn't bear the backlash from the beheaded.

Clearly, the opponent was very confident, directly and frankly stating the ability of the Tenth Mystic Treasure, the Ultimate Shattering Claw.

However, even if he didn't say it, Chen Du would certainly go all out at the moment of death.

Without the slightest hesitation.

On Chen Du's red star plate, the Five Secret Realms flickered.

Fifth Secret Treasure, Promotion!

Boom!

Instantly, around Chen Du, life energy surged like countless galloping wild horses.

Life Strength Rank 22... Rank 23... Rank 24!

Chen Du instantly increased by 3 Ranks!

The opponent's ability was indeed terrifying, and it did indeed counter his etherealization; after all, the opponent could make a move after him, while the activation time for etherealization was at most 10 seconds.

The initiative was completely controlled by the opponent.

But!

He still had Promotion!

Promotion could directly increase his Rank by 3 levels, which would render the Ultimate Shattering Claw's beheading effect useless against him.

After rising to Rank 24, that feeling of certain death disappeared from him.

Facing the Ultimate Shattering Claw that was about to collide with him, Chen Du held his sword with both hands, and with a "bang" and a sound of shattering metal and stone, he split it in half from the middle.

"Promotion!"

"You actually awakened this ability so coincidentally!"

The Eternal Tree exclaimed in surprise.

"The one who dies today is you!"

Chen Du flew towards the opponent at full speed, Killing Intent overflowing.

The Eternal Tree was indeed the Eternal Tree; this was the first Alien Race Chen Du had encountered that, after he used Promotion, directly and accurately stated the ability's name.

As expected of an existence with infinite lifespan, this Eternal Tree, in a sense, was probably the only living history in this world!

The amount of information the Eternal Tree knew was absolutely immense, Chen Du firmly believed that the opponent could probably answer many of his questions.

But there was no way; with his current strength, he simply couldn't Control the opponent.

It was impossible to extract any information from the Eternal Tree's mouth.

Furthermore, the opponent would not let him go today either; one of them had to die today!

What he had to do now was to kill the opponent within the duration of Promotion!

Although the Eternal Tree's Rank was only 23, one Rank lower than Ruyan, the two could not be compared at all.

The opponent, like himself, was a Ten Secret Treasures owner; even if the Ultimate Shattering Claw ability was broken, he would still be extremely difficult to deal with.

The strength of this opponent was definitely not below that of an Advanced Aerial Warrior!

Chen Du did not hesitate in the slightest; he just saw a faint blue light flickering in his eyes.

Nimble Cats Grace, activate!

The opponent's Ultimate Shattering Claw had a lock-on effect; similarly, Chen Du's Nimble Cats Grace also had a lock-on effect.

However, Nimble Cats Grace, which had always been unfailingly successful, failed at this moment.

"How is this possible!"

The blue light in Chen Du's eyes slowly dissipated.

"Your Mental Energy Rank actually exceeds Rank 31!"

Chen Du said in shock.

This was the first time he had encountered someone with higher Mental Energy than him; this was Nimble Cats Grace's first complete failure.

That time with Huang Cheng was because he could immunize against Mental Energy characteristics, but Nimble Cats Grace had successfully activated.

But this time, he actually encountered a monster with higher Mental Energy than Chen Du!

Not only that, the failure of Nimble Cats Grace meant the ineffectiveness of Mels Reflection!

Because Mels Reflection could only reflect Mental Attacks whose Mental Energy was less than or equal to its own.

"What are you surprised about?"

Seeing Chen Du frustrated, the Eternal Tree, whose facial features consisted only of eyes, showed a hint of a smug smile.

"Although you breaking my Ultimate Shattering Claw indeed surprised me a lot."

"But that doesn't mean you can defeat me."

"Because I, standing before you,"

"Not only possess the strongest Genius talent in the history of the Heavenly Phoenix Alien Race!"

"But am also the only existence in history, the one and only, who could evolve from an Eternal Tree into an Eternal Tree!"

"I... Qu Liunian."

"Am both the chosen and the Unique!"
