Chapter 3959 The Second Form

The space at Hawley's front and back was misplaced, and he became caught in an invisible wall.

He couldn't retreat, neither could he advance, nor dodge. He was forced to bear the brunt of Zen's fists head on!

In the forest glade, some Eternal Realm warriors who had the sharpest eyes were able to see what was unfolding before them. The astonishment in their eyes intensified.

"Did the human just utilize a space theurgy?" one of the creatures questioned in utter shock.

The phenomenon of overlapped spaces was quite similar to that created by many of the space theurgies.

However, they knew using space theurgy involved the facilitation of energy, which was forbidden in this area. If Zen had used a space theurgy, the maple leaves in the Flaming Maple Forest would already have launched their attack on him.

It was common knowledge that these maple leaves possessed a miraculous feature. They would pursue their targets with a relentless speed to the very ends of the world.

In the past, someone had used a theurgy at the edge of the Flaming Maple Forest and had triggered the attack of the maple leaves before fleeing at full speed. About thirty seconds later, though, the maple leaves had easily caught up with their target and exploded.

Others had used the spatial transference at the edge of the Flaming Maple Forest to cross a great distance in a single breath. However, the maple leaves still had caught up with them within a mere thirty seconds. It appeared that the distance had no effect on the leaves' pursuit time.

Up till now, the only known way to avoid the maple leaves' attack was to leave the Other Shore.

It seemed that it was virtually impossible for the maple leaves to reach beyond the Other Shore.

"It didn't look like a space theurgy," another creature commented, shaking his head. "It was a unique wave of power. One so formidable that it was able to manipulate the space in an unexpected manner!"

"I didn't know the human race possessed someone of that genius!" another warrior shouted in utter shock.

At this time, an Eternal Realm warrior who had just come here from the Grand Plain Stage said, "He must be the famous Zen. Both the Nihility race and the Element Spirit Civilization have offered tempting rewards to recruit him, but he refused them both."

Zen was famous in the Grand Plain Stage. All the forces coveted his great potential and extraordinary talent.

When the ensemble heard of Zen's background, their eyes soon filled with envy.

In addition to the indigenous races that inhabited in the Three Purities Stage, the Nihility race and the Element Spirit race were regarded as the strongest. With the protection of these two forces, many things would become greatly simplified.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under Zen's continuous assaul

e been a truly powerful being. But who possessed the strength to cut an arm from such a formidable creature...

The awe in Hawley's mind grew every time he contemplated on it. Nonetheless, he was aware that the source of the secret lay at the uppermost reaches of the Divine River, which was in the Jade Pure Realm, in the deepest part of the Three Purities Stage!

Just like the other races in Stage Thirty-three, Hawley had always held the entering of the Jade Pure Realm as his ultimate goal. Therefore, he never revealed his true strength, hoping to use it at a more critical moment. He would never have expected he would be forced to use it while fighting a human today.

Whoosh!

Having spoken, Hawley suddenly stretched forth one hand and grabbed Zen's arm. With a flip, he hurled Zen to the ground, pinning him down. Then, the band of red light covering his body congregated near his right arm.

Boom!

He launched a massive punch.

An immense wave of power pulsed forth from him, spreading through the ground. Even the densely interwoven roots of the Flaming Maple Trees failed to dampen the heavy vibrations.

The creatures standing close to the Flaming Maple Trees could keep a semblance of balance, while those who stood on the open ground were all sent reeling to the earth. As waves of power spread, they found it virtually impossible to regain their footing.

Boom!

Hawley landed a second punch.

A huge gaping crater appeared beneath Hawley and Zen, devouring them in a cloud of dust. Larger tremors of power radiated from them, rocking everyone with the force of an earthquake.

Boom!

A third punch!

A massive area suffered severe tremors like rolling waves, and the Flaming Maple Trees nearest the epicenter were razed to the ground. Even the members of the Misty River race were cast aside by the earth-shattering vibrations.
