Chapter 3998 To The North

All the creatures hiding throughout the Blood Swamp were shocked by the Worm Lizard's death.

Despite being the dominant creature of the Blood Swamp, the Worm Lizard had easily been shredded from the inside out. This was incomprehensible to the other creatures.

However, these creatures were only momentarily stunned before they swarmed into the nest of the Worm Lizard.

The Worm Lizard was ginormous, and its flesh and blood contained precious substances.

After devouring them, these creatures would be greatly fortified.

How could they miss out on such a rare opportunity?

As the blood surged wildly in the pool, the dead Worm Lizard's bones and flesh were rapidly devoured until nothing was left...

Splatter...

After vanquishing the Worm Lizard, Zen's body kept charging at a huge velocity.

"Alright, this Treacherous Being is extremely powerful. At least, I don't have to worry about any threats to my body." Zen sighed.

It seemed that the Treacherous Being possessed strange magical powers.

It had displayed these powers on the Whining Road when it had managed to resist Fuxi's and the Snake Goddess's attacks.

Now that the Treacherous Being had attached itself to Zen's body, it had transferred the same strange power to his body. This was how it had destroyed the Worm Lizard.

"When it leaves the Blood Swamp, we will be able to guess at its intended direction," the Primeval Lord of Heaven replied.

Zen nodded. He had no other option except to wait and see.

"Here's something strange," the Primeval Lord of Heaven continued. "Why didn't your bloodline conflict with the Treacherous Being in your body?"

Although the ancestry-level bloodline Zen had been endowed with was beyond his control, it had often saved him at critical moments in the past.

"Maybe the bloodline can't act against the Treacherous Being..." Zen guessed.

There could be no doubt that the ancestry-level bloodline had its own intentions. At the very least, it had displayed a reluctance to fall into the hands of the Nihility race and the Element Spirit Civilization.

However, when the Treacherous Being invaded Zen's body, the ancestry-level bloodline showed no reaction to it at all.

"But that's impossible!" The Primeval Lord of Heaven shook his head.

The ancestry-level bloodline filled every cell of Zen's body, and its presence had to have overlapped with that of the Treacherous Being.

It was miraculous that there was no conflict between the two.

"Then what else?" Zen appeared bewildered. He was stumped for any other theory to explain it.

The Primeval Lord of Heaven thought for a long while as he considered all possibilities. His eyes sudd

After confirming Zen's location, the Wing King and the others began to soar above the Blood Swamp, chasing after Zen.

Once he had gotten rid of the black wolves, Zen's body finally left the Blood Swamp and moved onto a barren hill.

After directing his body to stand on top of the hill, the Treacherous Being suddenly seemed to have lost its way. It turned Zen's body to look north, west, and then east by turns, as if trying to confirm where it was.

"The west is the Soul-diffusing Highland, and the north is the Myriad Pagoda Mountains, while the east is the Freezing Wilderness. I am unsure of which direction the Treacherous Being will choose," the Primeval Lord of Heaven murmured.

"Where are you being trapped?" Zen asked.

"The north," the Primeval Lord of Heaven replied. "Beyond the Myriad Pagoda Mountains..."

Had Zen's body not been controlled by the Treacherous Being, he and the others would have successfully entered the Supreme Pure Realm together. Then, they would, of course, have gone north to rescue the real Primeval Lord of Heaven and his companions.

But now, his first priority was to escape the Treacherous Being's control.

Suddenly, the hill beneath Zen's feet began to violently tremble.

With a great rumble, a gigantic turtle head suddenly popped out from the front of the hill, craning around to bite at Zen.

This was no "hill," instead it seemed to be a huge turtle!

Before the turtle could injure Zen, he stomped heavily on it, cracking its shell open instantly. In that moment, its head exploded into a spray of blood before it could clamp its jaws on Zen.

Then the Treacherous Being steered Zen's body to fly away. It seemed to finally have determined where to go. It was heading towards the Myriad Pagoda Mountains in the north.
