554: Has not been discovered yet

At the perfect time, at the most relaxed moment, the Thousand-Faced Tree made its move!

However, this fatal blow, like a rain of pear blossoms, passed right through Chen Du's head as if through thin air.

"This... this is the ability of your Ten Secret Treasures!"

The Thousand-Faced Tree's face, which had been about to reveal a victorious smile, froze abruptly at the failure of this attack.

After the Void Chains loosened, Chen Du's originally dim Mystic Treasure regained its luster.

At this moment, the Ten Secret Treasures shimmered, clearly indicating that Chen Du had activated the ability of the Tenth Mystic Treasure, Etherealization, perfectly avoiding the Thousand-Faced Tree's full-powered fatal blow.

Regarding information about this ability, the Thousand-Faced Tree's mind was a blank.

In the Dragon Pearl, Chen Du had never used this ability, and later his star plate was Sealed by the Void Chains, causing Chen Du to never have the chance to use it.

Now he realized that this was an ability akin to invincibility.

"You're quite quick to act."

Chen Du said indifferently, seemingly having anticipated this scene.

"You deliberately exposed a weakness to make me act!"

"Damn it! How did you know I would definitely act? We were comrades just now!"

"Because I am stronger than you, and I know the Thousand-Faced Tree's secrets. Now, having expended most of my stamina, I am arguably at my weakest. You know, if you don't act now, you will never get another chance."

"As for the comrades you mentioned, that was temporary. Don't try to confuse me here; our true relationship is that of different races!"

"Our Civilization taught me that the moment you leave your home, you cannot be careless for even a second."

"In terms of vigilance, your Great Civilization is definitely not as good as our Small Civilization."

"Damn it!"

The Thousand-Faced Tree was now filled with regret. It regretted that it shouldn't have attacked Chen Du just now, otherwise, there would still be some camaraderie from shared hardship, and perhaps they could have parted ways amicably.

But Chen Du seemed to read its mind:

"You should be glad you acted just now. If you hadn't, I would have."

"What!"

"You actually wanted to kill me actively? I not only provided you with a lot of information in the Dragon Pearl, but also helped you recover from your weakness with purification, and even sacrificed a Rank to nourish you."

"You Humanoid life forms are truly cruel and heartless!"

"Stop taking all the credit. Wasn't helping me a form of self-preservation?"

"As if everything was for my sake."

Chen Du finished with a sneer, then raised the longsword in his hand:

"The reason I brought you out was because I was afraid that leaving you inside would lead to some unexpected change that I couldn't Control."

"Moreover, you might even transmit my information."

Although theoretically impossible, it was the tomb of the Black Dragon King, the only Starry Sky Warrior recorded. Now that he had defeated the opponent, he truly didn't know what unexpected changes might occur later.

"I brought you out, not to save you, but because I wanted to see you die before my eyes."

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced Tree instantly darted out, its figure wildly weaving through the Azure Sky Dense Forest, constantly changing into the appearance of other plants, attempting to escape the pursuit.

Unfortunately, it was overthinking, or perhaps it itself knew that doing so was useless, but the instinct for survival still made it do so.

Before it had gone far, a faint golden Domain enveloped it.

Within the Domain, all its actions were completely exposed.

"Don't worry, the Thousand-Faced Tree's secret, I will not make it public."

Chen Du finished speaking, and under a practiced set of bone-crushing, ash-scattering sword techniques, the Thousand-Faced Tree didn't even have time to say a word before turning into ashes.

The wind blew, the ashes scattered, just like a lamp extinguished when a person dies; from then on, there was no trace of this person.

After dealing with the Thousand-Faced Tree, Chen Du returned to his original spot.

That Dragon Pearl still lay quietly on the Surface; no one would have imagined that it was actually the tomb of the Black Dragon King!

And within it, there was the strongest resource in this world, the Genesis Fish.

Besides the Dragon Pearl, two other items were scattered nearby.

One was the treasure map that could pinpoint the location of this Dragon Pearl.

This item had always been in the Thousand-Faced Tree's hand, but Chen Du remembered clearly that during the battle within the Dragon Pearl, the Thousand-Faced Tree had thrown it inside, yet at this moment, it was spat out along with himself.

This shows that this Unique treasure map can be recycled; it won't disappear after a single use.

Instead, it comes out to continue searching for the next fated person.

Chen Du naturally wouldn't let other races locate him, so he picked up the treasure map and put it into his storage space.

Only having one treasure map is not enough to enter the Dragon Pearl; there must also be a life form bathed in Dragon blood, or the life form carrying the treasure map must bathe in Dragon blood itself, or enter by other means.

In short, based on his personal experience, with only one treasure map, Chen Du didn't need to worry about being sucked in.

Moreover, he would later find a place to hide the Dragon Pearl, so he would worry even less about being sucked in.

The treasure map and the Dragon Pearl currently only serve a positioning function for Chen Du.

The other item was the Void Chains.

But what made Chen Du feel rather annoyed was that this thing couldn't be grasped.

It seemed unable to be touched by life forms and their derived abilities, yet it could fall to the Surface and be held by the earth.

Afterward, just as Chen Du had guessed, this item could be picked up by himself in his etherealized state.

But how long could he remain etherealized?

At most, only ten seconds, and it would also expose his Ten Secret Treasures.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Chen Du suddenly noticed that the chains were not complete.

Previously, because the battle was too intense, he hadn't noticed that one end of the Void Chains was damaged.

From its appearance, it looked as if it had been torn from something.

Could it be that these Void Chains were a section torn from a larger chain or some large object?

Such a Heaven-Defying ability was actually just the tip of an iceberg of something?

This uncertain speculation added another layer of awe to Chen Du's perception of this world.

Not to mention there are people beyond people, resources are the same, there are things beyond things!

This made Chen Du think of the Genesis Fish in the Dragon Pearl; the Thousand-Faced Tree said it was the ultimate resource among ultimate resources.

But ultimately, this world has not been fully explored.

Perhaps there truly are resources stronger than the Genesis Fish, just that no one has discovered them yet.

Or... the people who possess such resources have not yet been discovered!
