729: Tombstone No. 3

The Scarlet Fish vanished, and moonlight once again bathed the Surface.

A golden light pierced through the sealed and thick clouds, like a spotlight on a stage, concentrating on a single corpse.

Around it, Chen Du's shattered body continuously reassembled, his flesh and blood gradually returning, and soon after, he opened his eyes.

"It's a good thing I chose Privilege Three, otherwise I really would have turned into a weed outside the graveyard forever."

Chen Du muttered to himself, then looked up, fixing his gaze on the sky.

29:55.

The countdown reappeared, marking the interval between challenges.

Chen Du glanced at the tombstones and noticed that all tombstones after number 3 had disappeared.

This meant that the only targets he could challenge now were number 1, number 2, and number 3.

It seemed this was the result of the conflict between Privilege 3 and Rule 4.

Number 1 was out of the question, as that would only lead to another death.

Since he still had two chances to challenge, the targets had to be between number 2 and number 3.

Chen Du didn't hesitate and firmly walked to the position of tombstone number 3.

The name on it was 'Amatos', someone he didn't know at all.

But now, whether he knew him or not, he had to fight him next.

Challenge?

Yes/No.

2/3.

The routine options appeared again, but Chen Du didn't respond immediately.

Just as he had said at the very beginning, the 30-minute interval countdown wasn't for rushing, but for mental preparation.

"It seems the Seal here isn't entirely complete."

"Is it a difference in species?"

Chen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, muttering to himself as if summarizing his failure.

In the previous battle, he had used all his strength, tried every method to find an opportunity, utilized various skills he had mastered, and desperately sought a way to win, yet he still failed.

The reason was simple: the opponent's power surpassed his!

And it surpassed by a lot.

Chen Du's current power was 2.111 billion jin, but the Scarlet Fish's power was approximately 3.1 billion jin!

An extra 1 billion jin, which was equivalent to 50% more power, was simply terrifying!

To Chen Du, this was impossible, as both sides were Rank 29.

This meant that the corresponding base power was 8,000 jin, and subsequent configurations were also maxed out, with Ten Secret Treasures and Five Star Marks. The two should have had the same power.

But the Scarlet Fish had about 1 billion jin more than him. This was an extremely exaggerated lead at the Skysoar Martial Artist stage, especially after all abilities were Sealed.

In terms of Martial Skill, both were at the Second-Order Sky-Opening level. This information indicated that out of the 5,000 tombstones in the Lingkong Martial Warrior Level Challenge Zone, no one had reached Third-Order Martial Skill.

Chen Du had thought about this many times. He believed that before becoming a Domain Warrior, it was generally unlikely for any alien race to achieve Third-Order Martial Skill.

The reason it couldn't be done was due to the span.

The span from Second-Order Martial Skill to Third-Order Martial Skill was much greater than from Rank 29 to Rank 30.

These Geniuses were essentially beings with maxed-out talent, and they couldn't stay at the Skysoar Martial Artist stage for that long.

The gap between the spans would cause them to reach Rank 30 first, and then achieve Third-Order Martial Skill.

Because after Rank 30, the barrier from Second-Order Martial Skill to Third-Order Martial Skill would naturally thin out significantly.

And the condition for a Unique Domain was to reach it before Rank 31, there was no need to necessarily achieve it at the Skysoar Martial Artist stage.

Even if you tried to achieve this specifically, it would be very difficult, because while you are researching Martial Skill, your Life Strength would not stagnate.

However, Chen Du was an exception. He possessed Vice Chen Du and the Zhan Zhan Fruit. One specialized in researching Martial Skill, and the other improved Martial Skill talent. Moreover, the Crystal Space would not increase Life Strength, which allowed Chen Du to cap his Rank.

Therefore, it was possible for Chen Du to achieve Third-Order Martial Skill before Rank 30, and he himself had planned to do so.

But then, due to Yao Wangjing's appearance, he was forced to activate his invitation letter early.

In addition, as the battle progressed, Chen Du quickly discovered another problem.

He himself also exceeded the destructive power that 2.111 billion jin should possess.

Later, Chen Du noticed that the 10% amplification of divine blood was not Sealed!

This was also why he suspected whether it was a difference in species.

After all, monsters of this size were too exaggerated.

Before today, he had never even heard of them, let alone seen them.

However, the Scarlet Fish did not rely on the amplification of divine blood, but on pure power suppression.

Based on his current situation, Chen Du speculated whether the opponent had some special characteristic, similar to divine blood, that would not be Sealed in this place?

After all, the Scarlet Fish was truly too special. As one of the Nine Forbidden Zones, it also possessed such an exaggerated physique. If it was the Unique being nurtured by this planet, it seemed understandable.

Watching the constantly diminishing countdown in the sky, Chen Du stopped thinking and looked at tombstone number 3. He had no choice now.

"Yes."

The moment his voice fell, a monster about 50 meters tall, comparable to the size of a building, appeared before him on tombstone number 3.

"Black Dragon King?"

Chen Du looked at the gradually clearing Black Dragon Alien in front of him, a hint of doubt in his voice.

But he quickly realized something was wrong. If it were the Black Dragon King, the name on the tombstone would definitely be Black Dragon King. This was a small trick for judgment.

The opponent merely resembled him but was not. Moreover, this Black Dragon Alien had one clear difference from the Black Dragon King: there was a scar on his left wing that resembled a red lightning bolt.

He had previously speculated that the Black Dragon King in the world stabilizing pearl was the last generation or the continuously living first generation. Now it seemed that this one in front of him was probably the First Generation Black Dragon King!

"Defeat me, and you will receive a reward!"

The First Generation Black Dragon King spoke in a routine manner.

The moment the countdown changed, Chen Du 'whooshed' upwards.

Although nothing in this place would be destroyed, Chen Du still chose to fight in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Du didn't know how strong the First Generation Black Dragon King truly was, but in this place, any flashy abilities would be Sealed. In terms of pure power comparison, he was inferior to himself.

He didn't know if the opponent, like the Black Dragon King, also used a bodhi tree seed to replace the effect of a Mystic Treasure, achieving the same amplification in power as the Ten Secret Treasures.

As for the Star Mark, the opponent hadn't managed to condense five, but strangely surpassed four in terms of power. Simply put, he achieved the power equivalent to 4.5 Star Marks.

Although he didn't know how the First Generation Black Dragon King achieved this, he was no match for Chen Du.

After a fierce battle, Chen Du 'whooshed' and chopped off the Dragon's head!
