Chapter 122: Astounding the Eternal Colossus! The Human Emperor's Brush!

Chen Zheng this time at Ten Thousand Return Sea City not only obtained one Dao artifact, but also more than ten supreme treasures, several golden cores, four God King Meat Pigs, countless low-grade magic treasures, various materials and elixirs, etc.

It is simply unprecedented in amount.

Once fully digested, his mana will surely become formidable to a terrifying degree.

However, he currently has no time, and he darts wildly above the sea using the True Devil Catastrophe Wave Illusory Divine Dao.

Wan Qingshan and Fan Qingying, however, are full of murderous intent, relentlessly pursuing, determined to tear his tendons and skin, vowing not to rest until they do.

It makes sense: one protects the Black Tortoise Pavilion, the other plunders it; they fought to the death over it, yet Chen Zheng snatched the peach, so their resentment can be imagined.

Especially since both are renowned figures in the Profound Yellow Grand World, yet they were toyed with by a mere Shentong Wu Chong cultivator—utter disgrace.

Without killing Chen Zheng, how could they swallow this anger?

"The Eternal Colossus's speed is indeed fast."

Chen Zheng quickly crossed the vast sea and entered the territory of the Great Xu Dynasty.

But in his divine sense, he still couldn't shake off the pursuit from behind, and he couldn't help but feel secretly astonished.

Little did he know, Wan Qingshan and Fan Qingying were astonished a thousand million times more than him.

Their jaws were practically about to drop from shock!

Chen Zheng is too fast!

With their speed, almost any Shentong cultivator in the Profound Yellow Grand World cannot match them.

Even figures like Wan Lianshan and Jiao Fei, who are in the top ten of the Longevity Candidate List, could not escape their pursuit.

Yet Chen Zheng, a minor figure whose cultivation is far inferior to Wan Lianshan and Jiao Fei, somehow manages to evade them.

No matter how they chase, they simply cannot catch up.

For the Eternal Colossus to fail to catch a Shentong Wu Chong cultivator is utterly absurd; no one would believe it if told.

It also overturned their understanding of flight evasion divine abilities.

Could Chen Zheng be employing the Great Displacement Technique from the Three Thousand Great Dao?

But this movement looks like a drunkard's stagger, swaying, bearing no resemblance to the Great Displacement Technique at all.

The Great Displacement Technique could not possibly make a minor Shentong Wu Chong cultivator this fast!

It's too strange.

"Huh?"

Just as Wan Qingshan and Fan Qingying were shocked, they suddenly noticed Chen Zheng's figure pause, then swiftly descend and dive into the ground.

"Hmph, relying on that movement technique, I truly couldn't catch him for a while, but he's foolish to think escaping by earth avoidance is wise—it's digging his own grave." Wan Qingshan snorted, his form also sinking into the earth.

Earth avoidance differs from flying in the sky.

In the air, besides air, there is no obstruction.

But underground, it's filled with soil and rock, under immense pressure, which greatly restricts a cultivator's speed.

Moreover, the mana consumption is enormous.

Especially for Shentong cultivators, even if they master earth avoidance, they cannot go far before their mana runs out, forcing them to surface.

Even for those training their earth avoidance by going deep underground, they may hit a hard basalt layer, get stuck, and die underground from mana exhaustion.

Thus Wan Qingshan reckoned Chen Zheng couldn't run far, and would become a dead dog from insufficient mana, easily captured.

Fan Qingying's thought was similar, but her killing intent toward Chen Zheng was even stronger.

Only because Chen Zheng is too heaven-defying.

If he doesn't die, it might later affect the Divine Race's plan to conquer the Profound Yellow Grand World.

Her Divine Race's plan must not fail!

But soon she was astonished to discover that, underground, she and Wan Qingshan still could not catch up to Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng's earth-avoidance speed is hardly different from his flying speed.

Because as Chen Zheng moves underground, he blows out gusts of wild wind; wherever it hits, the soil and rock crumble completely into ash, allowing him unobstructed passage.

"What kind of monster is this kid!" Wan Qingshan's expression froze, then instantly his eyes flashed with hatred, the veins on his aged big hands bulged, his mana surged, and he tore fiercely.

With a loud "crack", the entire earth was torn apart by him, revealing a huge fissure hundreds of li wide.

The great fissure continued spreading forward, stretching tens of thousands of li into the distance, closing in on Chen Zheng.

This is the Earth-Splitting Technique; it can directly attack Chen Zheng, and once the fissure touches him, it will tear his whole body in half.

"Old dog, you're still far from being able to kill me."

Chen Zheng sensed the danger, yet he was not at all panicked, and still had time to mock Wan Qingshan.

At the same time, he stomped hard, causing the endless soil beneath to collapse entirely, and he sank with it, disappearing once more.

"Beast, when I catch you, I'll pull out your soul to light a sky lantern, see if you can still be stubborn." Wan Qingshan was furious, refusing to believe he couldn't catch Chen Zheng.

In fact, he truly could not catch up.

Chen Zheng could actually activate the "Great Luo Talisman" given by Lingling Immortal Venerable and teleport to Lingling Blessed Land.

He could also hide within the Chaotic Space inside the Sheep Skin Scroll to shake off the two masters' pursuit.

Looking at them one by one/p>

Earlier, when he was in Ten Thousand Return Sea City, he had entered the Sheep Skin Scroll to avoid the old woman's golden core self-detonation.

But he was still uncertain what state the Sheep Skin Scroll would be in after he entered it.

Whether it floats in the external world, or how?

He did not dare to use this trick again.

Moreover, he had an idea: to see if he could use a long-sleeping expert underground to kill the two who were pursuing him.

From then on, the three—two pursuers and one fugitive—covered over a hundred million li in less than an hour.

This should be the underground of the Seal Demon Ridge.

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Chen Zheng's face.

Because ahead of him was no longer soil and rock, but a hard, transparent diamond.

That diamond was colossal, larger than a mountain, its shape like a pen, within the pen palaces and lakes flickered in and out of view.

No, it was not a diamond but the legendary Heavenly Crystal, one of the hardest crystals in the universe, formed only under myriad stellar pressures over millions of years; even a small fragment can be forged into a Dao instrument.

A piece this large could even be used to forge an immortal artifact!

Chen Zheng knew this was an immortal artifact.

To be precise, it was a former immortal artifact called the Human Emperor Pen.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity of the Xuanhuang Great World led countless cultivators against the great calamity of the divine race; although they repelled the divine race, the Three Emperors fell into the long river of history.

The Three Emperors' supreme treasures—the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, Earth Emperor Book, and Human Emperor Pen—were also severely damaged, dropping several ranks and scattering across the lands, with two of them claimed by fortunate individuals.

The only one not taken was the Human Emperor Pen, still sleeping underground, sealing a terrifying divine being.

Now Chen Zheng has encountered it.

He intends to use this Human Emperor Pen to kill the two great masters pursuing him.

"Chen Zheng, you brute, I've finally caught you! I will not only extract your soul but also forge you into a puppet, making you a slave of my Wan Gui Immortal Island!"

From tens of thousands of li behind, Wan Qing Shan saw Chen Zheng's speed slow, thought he was exhausted, and let out a ferocious laugh.

He gathered a massive magical fist and struck at Chen Zheng, intending to cripple him and strip him of mobility.

"Chen Zheng's life is mine!"

Fan Qingying barked coldly, unleashing the Great Chaotic Thunder Technique, ferocious and unmatched, surging toward Chen Zheng like a torrent.

At the critical moment, Chen Zheng stamped his foot, and his whole body suddenly sank downward.

Boom—! Boom—!

The two masters' attacks all landed on the mountain‑sized Human Emperor Pen, making it tremble slightly.

"Who dares disturb my slumber?"

"Who seeks to sway the peerless treasure, the Pen of the Heavens that commands life and death?"
