772: One hundred times the speed of time
"Where did you get this book?"
Chen Du wasn't flustered by this, asking in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect you to still be alive, and to have tracked me all this way."
"You fraud!"
"You won't die peacefully after fooling me!"
The one speaking wasn't the Seven Star Alien Leader, but the Holy Bible in his hand!
The voice was genderless, and it was even difficult to perceive it as the timbre of a living creature.
Chen Du wasn't too surprised by this. The Qi he provided was fake to begin with, and now that they had both shown their true colors, he had nothing left to hide.
"That thing is indeed fake."
"However, I have the real deal in my hands. If you're willing, you can choose to cooperate with me."
He finished speaking, pointing a finger at the Seven Star Alien Leader, "Compared to him, I am stronger."
"Absurd!"
"Lord Holy Bible, you mustn't lightly believe the words of a petty person!"
The Seven Star Alien Leader was clearly afraid, quickly clarifying.
"It's fine, I naturally believe you."
The Heavenly Book Alien Race showed no joy or sorrow. Then, the Holy Bible automatically opened to a certain page without any wind.
The Heavenly Book Alien Race summoned a copy of itself.
Chen Du recognized it at a glance as the one who had "killed him" before.
That was the Rank 33 Domain Warrior.
"You still dare to come over, proving that you didn't use your full strength, but do you think I used my full strength?"
A cold voice emanated from the Holy Bible. Then, as if an invisible hand was turning pages, it flipped page after page without stopping.
Each page, briefly paused, radiated more or less light.
There were magic circles, auroras similar to a Domain, indescribable gases, and various Holy Light enchantments like buffs.
Chen Du had fought the Heavenly Book Alien Race before. This thing's weakness was its main body; as long as its main body wasn't destroyed, it could unleash all sorts of strange abilities.
So Chen Du wasn't surprised by the current scene, but there was one detail in the process that he paid more attention to.
That was, during the rapid page-flipping just now, the Heavenly Book Alien Race was missing a page.
It looked as if it had been torn out.
Boom!
Chen Du had no time to think. A overwhelming offensive still came.
Chen Du glanced at the Rank 33 Heavenly Book Alien Race that had killed him before. No wonder this guy wasn't affected by the Dream Flower earlier, because he was a summoned creature.
And this summoned creature was unusual; it actually summoned itself.
Chen Du suspected that this Rank 33 wasn't the Rank of the Heavenly Book Civilization's main body. It was probably due to its ability, either it could only summon a Rank 33 being at most, or it could only summon a being one Rank higher than the target.
"Die!"
Countless powers assailed Chen Du. There were suppressions, summons, visible and invisible Mental Energy attacks, and all these summoned beasts were imbued with enhanced buffs.
This included the Rank 33 alien that initially killed Chen Du and the Seven Star Alien Leader, all within the buff's amplification range.
Facing such an all-encompassing attack, Chen Du immediately activated Bloom, rendering all suppression abilities ineffective.
This time, Chen Du no longer held back his Martial Skill, bursting forth with 7% of his full power.
But one thing was beyond his expectation: the Judgment Holy Sword couldn't lock onto the Heavenly Book Alien Race.
This wasn't because the opponent used some special means, but simply an inability to lock on, not conforming to the rules of locking on.
The answer was obvious: the Heavenly Book Alien Race was not alive!
This situation greatly surprised Chen Du. Not alive, yet possessing intelligence?
But he couldn't dwell on that now. Chen Du locked the Judgment Holy Sword onto the Seven Star Alien Leader and entered combat mode.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The phrase "two fists breaking a house with four bare walls" was now vividly demonstrated by Chen Du.
The power of Bloom doubled, coupled with his Domain's suppression, making Chen Du like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering them without mercy.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong!"
The Seven Star Alien Leader looked at Chen Du, who possessed Divine-Grade combat power like a demonic seed from heaven, and was utterly shocked.
These forces besieging Chen Du were even weaker than Chen Du had imagined, not even using Mental Restart.
This resulted in the Judgment Holy Sword's damage energy not stacking up.
Chen Du defeated the Seven Star Alien Leader with a few punches, then finished him off with the Judgment Holy Sword.
The opponent was just a very ordinary leader, not a monster of the Black Dragon King's caliber, so he was easily killed.
And after killing the opponent, Chen Du discovered that all the methods the Heavenly Book Alien Race had previously employed had weakened.
It seemed his abilities needed to rely on a certain living being to be maximized.
"You're finished."
At this point, the three minutes were over, and the Bloom state disappeared.
Although Chen Du had weakened, the opponent had become even weaker.
"You're the one who's finished!"
The Heavenly Book Alien Race, discarded on the Surface like a brick, let out a roar-like sound, and then the book began to turn pages again.
Chen Du was somewhat curious. Based on his encounter with the Heavenly Book Alien Race in the Crystal Space, the opponent shouldn't have any major killer moves.
Unexpectedly, the book actually turned to the torn page.
Just as Chen Du was wondering, he suddenly felt his feet sink, and his body began to descend as if he had fallen into a swamp.
"This is..."
Chen Du immediately tried to fly out, but found that he had lost the ability to fly, returning to the state of not being able to fly before becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior.
"The page!"
"So that's it. This torn page wasn't done by someone else, but by you yourself."
"What I'm standing on, and even this large area around the palace, is that torn page from your book!"
At the same time, Chen Du also realized that since he had been tracking the opponent all along, it was impossible for the Heavenly Book Alien Race to have had time to set up such a method. In fact, judging from the opponent's previous words, he truly hadn't noticed he was being tracked.
In other words, this page underfoot was prepared by the Heavenly Book Alien Race a long time ago.
As for what it was preventing, it could be someone like Chen Du whom he couldn't handle, or it could be for the Seven Stars Civilization, which might rebel in the future.
From the situation just now, the two currently have a reciprocal relationship.
The Seven Stars Civilization needed the Holy Bible to enhance the overall strength of its civilization. It seemed they planned to develop slowly and eventually become an existence comparable to a Great Civilization.
And the Heavenly Book Alien Race also seemed to need to borrow the power of the Seven Stars Civilization or other aliens to unleash its true strength.
"It's useless no matter what you know."
The Heavenly Book Alien Race flew in front of Chen Du.
"I truly can't kill you, and even killing you might be useless. You have a very special resurrection ability."
"Since that's the case, you will be Sealed in the book forever by me!"
"Just a reminder, the place where you are Sealed, time passes a hundred times faster than outside!"
"You can slowly grow old and die in there!"
After the Heavenly Book Alien Race finished speaking, Chen Du's remaining head completely sank into the page beneath his feet.
