769: Mental power is completely ineffective

Chen Du’s pupils constricted. He had used his Mental Energy to scan this large area nearby, as a Domain would be too conspicuous and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Mental Energy wasn't as detailed and Entrance to the Microscopic as a Domain, with his current Level 43 Mental Energy, there shouldn't have been any oversight.

Chen Du had confirmed this area. Although there were some Alien Races, and even a Sword Arrive Aliens among them, there was definitely no Heavenly Book Alien Race that had suddenly appeared!

It had appeared completely out of thin air.

This method of appearance was even more impressive than Sam of the Azure Sky Civilization; there wasn't even a ripple, it just materialized out of nowhere.

And its objective was very clear: it headed straight for the fake Source Qi in Chen Du’s hand.

“Level 33…”

This thing was actually one level higher than him, which surprised Chen Du.

One must know that most Domain Warriors were Level 30 or Level 31. A Level 32 strength was ten times that of Level 31, so the difficulty of Promotion naturally increased tenfold.

Level 33 was even more so; in the entire Land of Abandoned Armor, with hundreds of Civilizations, there had never been a Level 33 Domain Warrior since records began. The difficulty was unimaginable.

Who knows how many Geniuses were stuck here; without unparalleled talent, one had to rely on the accumulation of time.

A Level 33 Domain Warrior appeared so casually, to be honest, Chen Du was truly quite surprised.

What he needed to do now was face this situation. The opponent's goal was very obvious: to kill him!

But Chen Du would not let him have his way.

Not appearing was Chen Du's biggest concern; now that he had appeared, it was his turn to act.

Chen Du looked directly at the opponent, his eyes instantly widened slightly, and he activated Dream Flower again.

The Heavenly Book Civilization was involved in too many things.

Why did they suddenly disappear Underground, what was their relationship with Fantasy World, one of the Nine Forbidden Zones, what was their connection with the Catalysis Civilization, why were they the BOSS of Crystal Space, and what did they want to do with the Source Qi, and so on.

From Chen Du's perspective, the Heavenly Book Civilization was involved in many matters, and he only knew a part of it; there must be many things he didn't know.

“How could this be!?”

Chen Du exclaimed in surprise.

Dream Flower failed; he couldn't invade the opponent.

And this failure was different from previous failures or any failure Chen Du could have imagined.

It wasn't due to insufficient Mental Energy, nor did the opponent have any special ability to counter it.

It was because the opponent himself was too strange.

When facing the Dream Flower invasion, the opponent was like a stone, and a stone naturally couldn't be pulled into a dream by Chen Du.

But the aura emanating from the opponent was that of a Level 33 Domain Warrior, which was simply incredible.

This made him instinctively think of a word.

Puppet.

It seemed only a Puppet could meet these requirements.

But could anyone truly create a Puppet of a Level 33 Domain Warrior?

That was too unbelievable, wasn't it?

But he quickly dismissed it. Since it was a BOSS in Crystal Space, he should be an Alien Race.

It was just that its own structure was quite unique.

In this fleeting process, Chen Du also tried to use the ability of the Sixth Star Mark to crush the opponent's mechanism, but it couldn't be activated. This proved that the opponent's situation was not a mechanism.

Rather, it was purely unaffected by Mental Energy.

Before Chen Du could think further, the opponent had already opened itself.

Instantly, a large black hand stretched out from the book, seemingly intending to crush Chen Du in one grasp.

Chen Du wasn't flustered; he used the Hand of Atim to condense a large hand, and with a clenched fist, met the opponent head-on.

The advantage of this ability was for probing, and it could be discarded at any time.

Boom!

The powerful collision caused a terrifying impact sound that directly triggered a small-scale explosion in the surroundings.

Chen Du’s milky-white fist was directly crushed by the large black hand extended from the opponent's book.

He frowned, using the Hand of God to evade.

Dream Flower being ineffective meant that Nimble Cats Grace’s suppression was also ineffective.

In terms of pure strength, the opponent was above him.

But not by much.

Judging from that punch just now, the strength of this Heavenly Book Civilization was that of a basic Level 33 Domain Warrior.

That is, a configuration of Seven Secret Treasures plus three Star Marks, which resulted in his strength being only 626.2 billion catties.

His Martial Skill level was only 1% Ascension.

Theoretically, such talent should not be able to reach Level 33 at all.

However, the facts were before him, coupled with the strange situation of the opponent, Chen Du didn't think too much about it.

In that punch just now, Chen Du hadn't exerted his full strength. If all 7% of his Martial Skill erupted, his strength would be stronger than the opponent's.

Moreover, he still had his Domain and Promotion methods unutilized. Even if he couldn't suppress the opponent with Nimble Cats Grace, this Level 33 Heavenly Book Alien Race wouldn't be able to defeat him.

But Chen Du's goal was not to defeat the opponent.

After Dream Flower became ineffective, he understood what he should do next.

In the subsequent battle, the Heavenly Book Civilization was like in the sleeping space, each page representing an ability.

Healing, acceleration, summoning, strength, burst, curse—all sorts of abilities were wielded effortlessly, as if he were an omniscient and omnipotent god.

In this regard, it did not exceed Chen Du's expectations.

Under the opponent's fierce offensive, Chen Du retreated steadily, and finally, due to exhaustion, he died from the Heavenly Book Alien Race's initial page ability.

That is, a large black hand, grabbing the astonished Chen Du, and with a “smack,” directly crushed him into minced meat, leaving a trail of flesh and blood.

Then, holding the fake Source Qi, it departed in a certain direction.

A few seconds later, Chen Du's minced meat disappeared, and a complete Chen Du walked out from the shadows.

“Good thing I thought one step further and used Vice Chen Du as bait.”

Chen Du murmured.

He didn't know that the Heavenly Book Alien Race would appear in this way, but his instinct for foresight compelled him to make sufficient assumptions.

Chen Du was well aware that although he was strong, he was not invincible.

There were too many Alien Races that could kill his current self.

The Heavenly Book Alien Race was involved in so many things; it couldn't be weak.

The failure of Dream Flower was indeed beyond his expectation, but he immediately thought of the next plan.

Recalling Yan Yun's situation at the time, the Heavenly Book Alien Race, after obtaining the green mushroom stone, departed in a certain direction.

Combining this with the current situation, although Chen Du didn't expect the opponent to appear directly, it was highly probable that it couldn't leave directly in the same way it appeared.

Without knowing whether the opponent possessed intelligence or “eyes,” Chen Du chose to let Vice Chen Du be killed.

He would track it when the opponent was in its most secure, most careless, and most relaxed state.

Chen Du didn't dare to infiltrate the main base yet, but he wanted to know which sector this Heavenly Book Civilization's main base was in.

He had a premonition that this sector must be very special.

With this conjecture, Chen Du quietly followed.
