719: Perfect

Before Chen Du, a nameless tree's form suddenly began to twist.

It transformed into a creature about 15 meters tall, somewhat resembling a Western Dragon from the Old Era.

The details of this creature were very unique.

His wings were very similar to those of the Sky Phoenix Civilization, but instead of feathers, his wings were covered in the Dragon Scales of a Black Dragon!

His head resembled the Heavenly Phoenix Alien Race, but his eyes were like those of the Water Qilin Alien Race, a pair of Golden Qilin's sharp claws, combined with a Phoenix tail wrapped in the unique Qilin Fire of a Fire Qilin.

The physical characteristics of the three former Overlord-level Civilizations seemed to be somewhat present in the creature before him.

The moment the black cage appeared, Chen Du realized who the attacker was.

Although it was the first time he had seen such an attack, he had information from Qing Feng.

There was no one else in this world who would use this attack method and target him, except for Yao Wangjing.

Chen Du, with some understanding, gripped the black seed he wore around his neck:

“So that’s the source of the uneasy feeling. I didn’t expect that even after meeting, this thing still has no reaction. It seems my previous idea of using it to pinpoint your location was a bit too naive.”

With that, he instantly crushed the black seed. After doing so, Chen Du’s eyes stared at the opponent:

“How do you know my name?”

Chen Du believed he hadn't revealed his name during his battle with the Eternal Tree, and even if the other party had killed everyone in the Prophet Circle, everyone in the Prophet Circle only knew him as Wu La.

Watching Chen Du crush the black seed, Yao Wangjing instantly understood his opponent’s previous intentions and sneered:

“That seed could indeed sense me in the Early Stage, but the current me is no longer what I once was. It’s useless now.”

“To put it plainly, what you hold is the Eternal Tree’s backup plan, his resurrection method prepared in advance for emergencies. But from the moment you spoke my name, I presume you already understand.”

“The Eternal Tree is dead. The current me is Yao Wangjing!”

“His remaining methods are naturally useless.”

Then, he changed the subject and said casually:

“As for knowing your name, it’s because I took a trip to the High Martial Civilization.”

Yao Wangjing was very calm, or rather, confident. It seemed that the moment the black cage was laid, his victory was already sealed.

“I have to admit, your potential makes me a little uneasy, so I must eliminate you before you grow strong.”

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find you.”

“I originally intended to destroy an ecosystem along the way, but I didn’t expect to be stopped by a Domain Warrior from your Civilization. His weapon was a bit special, and I wasn’t confident I could defeat him, so I ultimately chose to leave.”

A Domain Warrior, with a special weapon?

Yan!

After knowing that the High Martial Civilization was safe, the worry in Chen Du's heart finally subsided.

Just as Lei En said, the current Yan was officially dead. He had transformed into an invisible shadow, secretly guarding the High Martial Civilization.

“From that Domain Warrior, I learned your name. At the same time, I also understood that for Small Civilizations like yours, due to geographical location, the Star Islands that condense the Star Mark are fixed.”

“Therefore, this place is your only path!”

So that's how it is.

No wonder Yao Wangjing initially said, “I’ve finally been waiting for you.”

“Considering your Rank and growth rate, it’s about time you arrived.”

“I will not let you land on the island, Chen Du.”

“Although whether you land or not, you are no match for me.”

“But I am curious, why did you wait until Rank 29 to come? Don’t you know that even 10 Mystic Treasures cannot condense 5 Star Marks?”

Chen Du's heart flashed with surprise upon hearing this.

This guy actually saw through his Rank!

This was the first time Chen Du had experienced this since obtaining the divine blood. Could it be the ability of the Water Qilin's eyes?

“Is this what you call gathering all glory onto oneself?”

“I thought it was something, but it’s just a bunch of Old Era products.”

Chen Du said coldly.

So that’s what Qing Feng meant when he said “gathering all glory onto oneself” back then.

To gather all the power of the strongest former Overlord-level Civilizations onto himself.

But how did he do it?

Even the traces of the three former Overlord-level Civilizations, let alone their bodies, were very difficult to find.

Was it the Eternal Tree’s information database, like a living history, or did he, as one of the former Overlord-level Civilizations, the Sky Phoenix Civilization, possess unique information that even the Prophet Civilization didn’t know?

“You actually know that phrase.”

“How interesting. I only said that to the Prophet Civilization on a whim. They should all have been killed by me, shouldn’t they?”

“Where did you hear it?”

“Could it be that there are still Prophet Alien Races alive?”

“Never mind, it doesn’t matter.”

After speaking, Yao Wangjing looked at Chen Du with disdain:

“As for what you said about Old Era products, that’s because you don’t understand our power back then. The current Overlord-level Civilizations are only Overlords because of good luck; they can’t compare to us back then.”

After Yao Wangjing finished speaking, he “clapped” and spread his wings, the impenetrable Dragon Scales blocking out the sunlight, as if night had fallen.

“The current me is perfect!”

“After eliminating this hidden danger, in the future, no one will be my opponent.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Chen Du suddenly burst into laughter, startling Yao Wangjing, who was about to make a move.

“Ridiculous.”

“Perfect?”

“Is your pursuit merely perfection?”

“I even considered you an opponent. You disappoint me greatly, Yao Wangjing!”

Chen Du said sternly.

“What you call perfection, in my opinion, is merely a Bottleneck, a Bottleneck from which one can no longer progress.”

“Perfection is a curse, a curse that prevents one from becoming stronger.”

“Because one cannot become better, it is called perfect.”

“If your goal is only something of this level, then you cannot kill me!”

“What I, Chen Du, pursue is an endless upper limit!”

“Hmph!”

“I thought you were going to say something profound.”

“It’s just empty talk. I am now Rank 30; all you can do is tremble!”

With that, he raised his sharp claws.

“Here it comes!”

Chen Du's eyes twitched, and he suddenly spoke.

At this moment.

Suddenly, with a boom.

A unique Qi erupted around Chen Du. This Qi was not Life Strength, but something extremely profound.

It made Yao Wangjing, who was preparing to attack, stop. His eyes flashed with an incredible shock:

“How is this possible!”

“You clearly haven’t landed on the Star Island, so how can you condense the Star Mark?”

“And this feeling of fluctuation, it’s the third, the fourth, and the fifth…”

Chen Du smiled confidently:

“That’s right!”

“On the way here, I decided to trust my intuition, so I temporarily changed my mind and decided to take a risk, letting my Clone land on the island 30 minutes earlier!”

“The Clone didn’t carry that black seed, so your interception failed.”
