Super Combat Soldier-Chapter 1571 - 1570: After Waiting Three Days...
Ye Tianchen truly did not expect that this giant bird stone sculpture, which he inadvertently stumbled upon, would have such a background. It was located in the nest of a Roc that had awakened part of the Immortal Roc bloodline power. And after so many years, countless ages had passed, it was almost certain that this Roc had perished in this nest, and it was very likely that it left behind an unparalleled legacy!
The Roc Clan, in the Martial Arts World, even to this day, is an extremely formidable race that one dares not to provoke lightly. Once upon a time, when fighting against the powerful races among the Ancient Alien Race, the Roc Clan never fell into disfavor. How astounding is that?
A Roc, inherently formidable beyond comparison and awakened with Immortal Roc bloodline power, how powerful must it have become? It’s practically unimaginable. Even if this Roc didn’t reach the step of the Emperor Realm, it’s probably not far off. Perhaps only a peerless figure at the Emperor Realm could fight it and suppress it!
However, Ye Tianchen still couldn’t fully believe the words from the mouth of this remaining fish monster. He quickly discovered a crucial point: although Wang Luanxiang had the "Red Cloud Treasure Mirror" on her, relying on it to break into this Great Formation and enter the Immortal Roc Nest was impossible. Wang Luanxiang could not wield the full power of the "Red Cloud Treasure Mirror." This was a limitation, and Ye Tianchen didn’t believe that Wang Luanxiang was truly dead and eaten. After all, with the "Red Cloud Treasure Mirror" at her side, even if the so-called Son of Sea God was incredibly powerful and unbeatable, escaping should not have been an issue. How could she be missing and not be found dead or alive?
The power in Ye Tianchen’s right palm surged and circulated continuously in his hand, frightening the fish monster into continuous struggle, attempting to escape. Unfortunately, it was tightly bound by a Divine Rune and completely unable to move. As Ye Tianchen’s palm slowly approached, incredibly powerful, the sound of the void shattering could be heard. If it struck the intended target, it would surely end with brains splattering and total annihilation!
"Ah... no, no, I don’t want to die, don’t kill me!" The fish monster said, its face turning pale with fear, and cold sweat bursting out all over.
"Tell the truth, and I might spare your life!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough? That woman isn’t dead. Actually, I don’t know if she’s dead or not. At that time, the woman broke in here and was discovered by us. Unfortunately, we weren’t her match, so we summoned the Son of Sea God. The Son of Sea God fought her and defeated her in three moves. Initially, the plan was to annihilate her completely, but who knew a wave would arise and sweep her away. The Son of Sea God said that another race had rescued her and didn’t pursue further..." The fish monster said with a bitter expression on its face.
"Who is the Son of Sea God?" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.
"His Highness, the Son of Sea God, is the direct offspring of the Sea God. He has been the strongest presence in this Sea Domain since childhood. Besides, after devouring the inner core left by the Sea God, his cultivation realm became more stable, rendering him invincible. All his preparations are in anticipation of the Formation at the Immortal Roc Nest activating on its own. He intends to rush inside to obtain the Roc’s legacy!" The fish monster dared not conceal anything and explained everything outright.
Ye Tianchen thought for a moment. It seemed very challenging for him to find Wang Luanxiang. The vast sea was much larger than the three great Ancient Martial Worlds. Finding Wang Luanxiang here was like finding a needle in a haystack, almost impossible. Therefore, Ye Tianchen devised a plan, which was to lie in wait here. Sooner or later, he would find clues and find Wang Luanxiang. He couldn’t just leave Wang Luanxiang alone here. Besides, if the opportunity arose, obtaining the Immortal Roc’s legacy would be hugely rewarding!
"When will the Immortal Roc Nest open?" Ye Tianchen glanced at the fish monster and asked.
"I don’t know..." The fish monster said with a somewhat evasive look in its eyes.
"Are you genuinely unsure, or are you pretending? Don’t get a second chance at life, only to lose it in an instant..." Ye Tianchen said, a trace of a ruthless smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"I... Alright, since you are so eager to know, and want to risk your life to fight for it, I’ll tell you: in three days, the formation of this Immortal Roc Nest will activate, and by then, our Sea God’s Son will arrive. If you want to stay alive, there’s still time to run away now!" the fish monster scoffed, glancing at Ye Tianchen.
Ye Tianchen looked at the fish monster, smiled calmly, and said, "Actually, I wasn’t interested until you mentioned it. Since you describe your so-called Sea God’s Son as so powerful, then I’ll just battle with him!"
"What? You want to fight our Sea God’s Son? Hahaha, it’s not that I underestimate you or laugh at you, but you really are overestimating yourself. You don’t understand the terror of our Sea God’s Son!" The fish monster laughed without restraint.
"Get lost, go back and report to your Sea God’s Son, tell him I am Ye Tianchen, waiting here to fight him!" Ye Tianchen tossed the fish monster aside and said calmly.
"You... don’t know life from death. Our Sea God’s Son was born with great power. Even without consuming the inner core left by the Sea God, he already swept through the strong adversaries of the entire Sea Domain, even the old ones were amazed. And now that he has consumed the inner core, his power has advanced leaps and bounds, unrivaled. Don’t even think about contending for the Immortal Roc Inheritance, you can’t even handle a battle with him!" the fish monster said fiercely.
"If you don’t get out now, I’ll destroy you completely!" Ye Tianchen said with killing intent filling his eyes.
The fish monster, terrified, left and fled underwater. Ye Tianchen did not pursue but looked towards the nearby Immortal Roc Nest, worried about Wang Luanxiang’s safety. If Wang Luanxiang was rescued by another species from the Sea Domain, the species daring enough to snatch someone from underneath the Sea God’s Son’s nose is probably extraordinary too. If they mean harm to Wang Luanxiang...
With the situation as it is, Ye Tianchen had no other strategy but to stay here, hoping to find clues about Wang Luanxiang, which was better than searching aimlessly like finding a needle in a haystack. Ye Tianchen had his thoughts—this Sea God’s Son must be extremely powerful. Even if not as terrifying as the two fish monsters claimed, he wasn’t likely far off. Otherwise, with Wang Luanxiang’s prowess and her "Red Cloud Treasure Mirror," how could she be defeated in just three moves? Even Ye Tianchen himself couldn’t necessarily defeat Wang Luanxiang, wielding the "Red Cloud Treasure Mirror," in just three moves. This Sea God’s Son truly isn’t a simple character.
Ye Tianchen’s current thinking was simple: The Sea God’s Son, as the dominator of this Sea Domain, is in secluded cultivation to stabilize his cultivation realm and unleash his peak strength in order to smoothly acquire the transformative inheritance when the Immortal Roc Nest opens. This indicates that although the Sea God’s Son is the Sea Domain’s overlord, he might not be the strongest, and there are those who can contend with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t fear someone else contending during the Immortal Roc Nest opening. So, the one who rescued Wang Luanxiang from the Sea God’s Son will definitely appear. The Immortal Roc Inheritance is immensely attractive, stirring the hearts across all species in the Sea Domain. Everyone desires this inheritance, and even some powerful hidden legacies of the Ancient Martial World may be observing silently, withholding action until the great Ancient Array outside the Immortal Roc Nest is activated.
Therefore, Ye Tianchen’s plan was simple. In three days, the formation of the Immortal Roc Nest will open. By then, the area will be filled with countless strong individuals, rivers of blood will be flowing. Here, he will surely find clues about Wang Luanxiang, and if the opportunity presents itself, he will contend for the Immortal Roc Inheritance, as such transformative inheritances are rarely seen throughout history. Even searching the entire Martial Arts World might not yield another one, so given the opportunity, how could he not fight for it?
Ye Tianchen deliberately let the fish monster go, believing it would report to the Sea God’s Son. Even if the Sea God’s Son doesn’t rush out now to battle him, he will definitely appear when the formation of the Immortal Roc Nest opens in three days to reveal the true inheritance. By then, gaining clues about Wang Luanxiang from him would be more reliable!
After the fish monster left, Ye Tianchen looked around, discovering some stone pillars surrounding the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture. These pillars varied in height, from a few dozen meters to nearly a thousand meters, and from these vantage points, it seemed possible to observe the entire Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture. This left Ye Tianchen puzzled; when were these stone pillars erected and for what purpose? Were they erected by the Roc awakened with Immortal Roc Bloodline Power? Or were they built by past contenders for the Immortal Roc Inheritance, allowing them to observe the sculpture’s every move?
Thinking this, Ye Tianchen didn’t hesitate and moved towards the highest stone pillar, choosing an advantageous position. When the formation around the Immortal Roc Stone Sculpture activates in three days, he could gain a favorable position, seizing the chance for the Immortal Roc Inheritance. Everything around was calm, with no other species’ strong individuals in sight, surprising him. Often, the quieter it is, the more it indicates a looming storm. Three days later, when the Great Formation of the Immortal Roc Nest activates, it will likely shake the entire Earth... (to be continued.
