The strange creature looked at Chen Tian. Chen Tian was the same as the guys who had been chasing him before, but he didn't feel any hostility from Chen Tian. He believed Chen Tian. When the players reached Chen Tian's side, they found that they had actually lost track. How was this possible!
"Boss, the target has disappeared. The detector shows no anomalies."
A group of people surrounded a fierce youth in the center, forming a cohesive unit. The fierce youth scanned his surroundings, his body radiating a terrifying aura that enveloped the entire mountain. The sheer aura alone shrouded the entire peak. He couldn't even imagine what their full strength would be like. The fierce youth's senses couldn't detect anything unusual in the strange place. The fierce youth said coldly, "Let's go. We must find them."
"Yes, boss!"
The group moved forward. When Chen Tian sensed that they had left, he sighed. The system was indeed powerful. His abilities remained stable under the pressure of their aura, and even they hadn't detected Chen Tian's presence. It seemed the abilities granted by the system were incredibly potent. Chen Tian saw the strange creature cowering beside him, looking a bit frightened. Chen Tian patted its back and said, "Don't be afraid, they've already left."
Chen Tian sensed that the distance between them had increased. Hearing Chen Tian's words, the strange creature calmed itself, its eyes shining brightly as it looked at Chen Tian and asked, "Why did you save me?"
"Do I need a reason to save you? If I did, it would probably be because I find you very special."
The strange creature before him had a peculiar appearance. Its left arm was human, but its hand was a beast's claw. Its right arm was like clay, its length constantly changing. Its entire body was transparent blue. Chen Tian had felt from the beginning that this creature was very special.
"You won't attack me, will you?"
Its tone sounded like that of a young boy, but its face was obscured by blue liquid, making it impossible for Chen Tian to see its features clearly.
"No, don't worry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved you. I'm just curious about you. What kind of creature are you?"
As Chen Tian finished speaking, the system's voice chimed in, "My foolish host, he is human. Before awakening this physique, he was just like you, a human, not some other creature."
"System, do you not feel right if you don't scold me?"
"I don't. It's the host who insists on being scolded."
"You..."
Chen Tian felt that the system had changed. It had developed human-like characteristics and even learned to mock him. Chen Tian ignored the system, deciding he had no choice but to endure it. What else could he do? Attack the system?
The system and Chen Tian were one entity. Chen Tian had no way to harm the system.
"System, just you wait. I'll find an opportunity."
"Beep beep beep!"
"If the host does not wish to know the identity and origin of this young boy, you can continue speaking to this system this way. The price is the complete erasure of all information."
"No! System, System Daddy, please, give me the information."
Chen Tian's expression changed instantly, more rapidly than flipping through a book. One moment he was vowing not to let the system off, and the next he was calling it Daddy. The shift was too abrupt.
"Given the host's acknowledgment of his mistake, this system will not pursue it further. Here is the information."
The system transmitted the information into Chen Tian's mind. Chen Tian received it all. The creature before him was a young boy named Long Yun, from the Illusory Demon Continent, one of the worlds within the Fantasy Plane, ranked 3,300th among the myriad realms.
Long Yun had accidentally entered a passage connecting to the Dark Realm. In the passage, he encountered the Mo Mu origin, the true body of Mo Mu. Only by killing the Mo Mu origin could Mo Mu be defeated.
Mo Mu had inadvertently merged with Long Yun, awakening a special physique that no one in the myriad realms had ever awakened: the Mo Mu Body.
With the Mo Mu Body, the awakened individual was immune to all physical and magical attacks. Death would only occur if the core of the body sustained a fatal injury.
This meant that Chen Tian, with any of his abilities, could not kill Long Yun. Even if the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered, Long Yun would remain.
Even if the universe collapsed, Long Yun would not die.
The Mo Mu origin and Long Yun's origin had completely merged, rendering the weakness virtually nonexistent. After all, a human's origin was within their body. Long Yun was completely enveloped by Mo Mu's liquid, his body immune to any form of attack and incapable of receiving damage.
He was an invincible being.
After receiving the information, Chen Tian was dumbfounded. What incredible luck this guy had! Invincible. He himself had to undergo eleven lifetimes to become a transcended being of the universe, unbound by its limitations.
That level of existence was, in essence, also invincible. But compared to Long Yun's current state, the difference was vast.
Chen Tian felt a touch of envy for Long Yun. According to the information provided by the system, Long Yun had not yet fully fused with the Mo Mu origin, leading him to appear as he did now, neither fully human nor fully creature. Chen Tian's eyes gleamed as he looked at Long Yun, which made Long Yun fearful. Chen Tian quickly realized that he was on the side of justice and couldn't possibly do something like that.
What Chen Tian had considered was to seize Long Yun's physique before the Mo Mu Body was fully awakened. Of course, if Long Yun lost this physique, he would die. The origin had already fused completely with his life. Forcibly stripping the physique from his body would result in Long Yun's death.
Chen Tian would not do such a thing. Chen Tian's expression changed drastically as he said, "Quick, let's go!"
Just as he was about to take Long Yun's hand and leave, an angry roar sounded: "Go? Where do you think you're going? What I've set my sights on, you dare to obstruct? You're courting death."
Hearing the fierce voice, Long Yun's body trembled uncontrollably. This voice was too familiar. It was the group that had left earlier. Chen Tian turned back to face the newcomers. There were more than a dozen of them, appearing to be a unified group.
The fierce youth scowled and berated him, "Kid, although I don't know how you evaded my detection, I have now set up a great formation covering the entire mountain. You have nowhere to run."
Hearing this, Chen Tian communicated with the system: "System, detect the information about this great formation, and the origin and identity of these people."
"Ding, detection complete. Transmitting information."
A lot of information appeared in Chen Tian's mind. What concerned Chen Tian the most was the great formation. The existence of this formation rendered all his concealment methods useless. This great formation forcibly implanted a special origin mark on Chen Tian. As long as the formation was not destroyed, the origin would not disappear. These people could locate Chen Tian at any time based on this origin mark.
Chen Tian could erase his own existence, but their method was more ingenious. They had added something that didn't belong to him to a place where he didn't exist, much like invisibility, but then covering his entire body with paint. His location would be clear, and even if they couldn't see him, they could see the paint.
The information about these people was even more astonishing. They were martial artists from the Saint God Realm. The system had not provided Chen Tian with specific details, only their names and origins.
Disciples of the Sacred Fall Sect. These were all outer disciples of the Sacred Fall Sect. They had initially been pursuing the Mo Mu origin. Upon entering the Dark Realm passage, they discovered that the Mo Mu origin had merged with Long Yun. They greedily desired to obtain that physique. If they could capture Long Yun and strip him of his physique, transferring it to themselves, they would be invincible upon returning to their sect.
Long Yun had been pursued by these people and had been fleeing. Fortunately, Long Yun's Mo Mu Body fusion had reached halfway, making it impossible for them to deal with him completely, and thus they had chased him all the way here.
What happened next was when Chen Tian arrived. Chen Tian secretly thought, "System, is there any way I can contend with them?"
The strength of these disciples far surpassed his own. The plane of the Saint God Realm was stronger than the Divine Realm. Chen Tian had not yet heard the system mention their cultivation realms.
"Replying to the host, the current cultivation realms of these individuals are not on the same level as the Saint God Realm realms previously mentioned by this system. For example, if the host is in the first tier, they are in the third tier realm. With the host's current strength, it is impossible to discern."
"I'm asking if there's any way for me to contend with them, not if I can discern their realms."
Chen Tian became anxious. His strength was no match for theirs. The system replied calmly, "Stupid host, have you forgotten your first life form? The original villagers and even the universe feared it. Even if you cannot unleash a tenth of its power, that little bit of strength is more than enough to contend with these people."
Hearing the system's voice, Chen Tian slapped his forehead. That's right!
He still had his first life form to use. How could he forget?
"But System, is it really okay to use my first life form here? Won't it cause the Dark Realm to collapse?"
This was Chen Tian's greatest concern. After all, his first life form was too powerful. The world could not withstand it and would collapse, ceasing to exist.
"Don't worry. The Dark Realm can withstand two percent of the host's power. The power you are currently using is only two percent."
"Why? I'm still using only two percent of my power."
Chen Tian felt like spitting blood. His strength was so immense, yet the power he could use was always stuck at two percent, both for his main body and his first life form.
