Chapter 3961 Track

At the start, everyone had anxiously counted down the time till Zen's inevitable death, but when the time came, Zen was still alive and well!

Fuxi, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the others, who had been worried earlier, all heaved sighs of relief.

"This guy..." Fuxi shook his head in awe.

Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi was stunned. "We can't rest easy just yet. Danger still looms."

King Ieuan muttered under its breath, "How is it possible that the maple leaves can't catch up to him? What method is he using?"

The Snake Goddess carefully studied Zen's movements. "The maple leaves in the Flaming Maple Forest do not move normally. The way these maple leaves pass through space is different from what we know; perhaps Zen moves in a similar manner..."

"Does Zen move differently from us? Why can't I figure this out?" Fuxi scratched his head.

"As creatures in the chaos, we are born with limits. It's only natural we can't comprehend," the Snake Goddess replied wisely. "Zen's body must've changed due to obtaining that bloodline..."

While the Snake Goddess didn't know exactly how the ancestry-level bloodline worked, she figured it had a lot to do with how Zen was moving now.

After all, she observed his performance after he had reached the Eternal Realm. His bloodline's strength might have reached a degree that ordinary people could not understand.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

As Zen zoomed through the air, he suddenly sped up and continued to fly in circles. Then, he landed on the clearing in the forest and walked towards Hawley as though nothing had happened.

His eyes flashed fiercely with killing intent. As he spoke, his voice rang across the forest. "Is this your strongest form? Will you be able to block them?"

To the others, everything looked strange.

Zen didn't walk quickly—in fact, he resembled an old man walking slowly. Yet, he seemed to be closing the gap between him and Hawley in seconds.

When Hawley heard Zen's threat, it suddenly dawned on him why Zen had aroused all those maple leaves.

Immediately, he whipped around to retreat towards the depths of the Flaming Maple Forest at high speed, as though a venomous snake was at his heels. As he ran, he heard Zen laughing maniacally. "Do you wish to escape? I'll give you thirty seconds...

Thirty seconds!

Twenty-seven seconds!

Twenty-four seconds..."

Everyone watched as Zen slowly took steps forward, like some old man struggling to ov

rest, but many people were still left stunned.

A few maple leaves were still whirling around in the air. Since their target had already perished, they circled a few more times, and one by one, exploded into flashes of light.

Then, a hush fell over the Flaming Maple Forest.

The members of the Misty River race stared at the blackened earth where Hawley had stood just moments ago. They were still unwilling to believe that Hawley, their strongest warrior, had died.

As the leader of the Misty River race, Wheeler was livid.

Although Hawley wasn't the only strong member of the Misty River race, Wheeler had still relied on him to gain a firm foothold in the Flaming Maple Forest.

Now, with Hawley gone, this was a huge setback.

If the Nihility race and the Element Spirit Civilization wanted to defeat Wheeler in the Flaming Maple Forest, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to do that. This meant that the status of the Misty River race was in great peril, and that they were in danger of being annihilated because of what they had done over the years.

A piercing coldness crept throughout Wheeler's body, as though he had been stabbed with a blade of ice. Overcome with anger, he was frozen to his spot.

"Zen, how did you make it? That..." Even Fuxi was at a loss for words.

The Snake Goddess stared intently at Zen and asked, "Is it your bloodline that gave you this ability?"

Zen nodded. "I can sense another path which is very unique. It's a different space, so it's different from the space theurgy we comprehend."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards a Flaming Maple Tree in the distance.
