Chapter 901

The sound coming from the forest was very soft, almost inaudible. However, Zi Chen and the devil ape were not ordinary people, so they could hear the soft sound very clearly.

They opened their eyes almost at the same time and released their spiritual senses to explore the forest in the distance. However, they did not find anything out of the ordinary.

The rustling sound was approaching, but they could not detect anything with their spiritual senses. They looked at each other and saw something strange in each other's faces.

They stood up and looked into the forest. Soon, the rustling sound came to an end, and pairs of green eyes appeared from the forest.

These were exotic beasts. Their eyes emitted green light as they stared at Zi Chen and the devil ape through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

The exotic beasts had already appeared in their sight, but they still could not detect anything with their spiritual senses. The confusion on their faces grew stronger, and they became very vigilant at the same time.

"What kind of strange exotic beasts are these? I can't even detect them with my spiritual senses." The devil ape's pupils shrank, and it clenched the black rod in its hand.

Zi Chen frowned and shook his head, indicating that he did not know. During this time, his spiritual senses kept sweeping over the exotic beasts, but he found nothing.

The two sides just looked at each other through the branches and bushes. The exotic beasts did not take the initiative to attack, and Zi Chen and the devil ape also stood in place without moving.

Zi Chen sensed a strange aura from these exotic beasts, but there seemed to be a fog in his mind, so he could not sense what was strange about it.

This kind of staring lasted for about two minutes. After two minutes, the exotic beasts turned their heads and turned back. The rustling sound in the forest rang out again.

Soon, the exotic beasts were all gone. They came suddenly and left without warning. When the last exotic beast left, its green eyes deliberately swept over Zi Chen. In the next moment, Zi Chen saw an expression that only humans could have in its eyes. It was ridicule, ridicule, and disdain.

Zi Chen had felt that these exotic beasts were very strange, but he could not find the reason. When the last exotic beast disappeared, Zi Chen seemed to have a flash of light in his mind, and the fog in his mind dispersed. He immediately exclaimed, "Chase after them! There's something strange about these exotic beasts."

"They're just some extra-terrestrial creatures. What's so strange about that?" The Devil Ape looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

After saying that, Zi Chen's figure flashed, and the demonic ape followed closely behind him. As they moved forward at high speed, Zi Chen said with a grave expression, "They're not exotic beasts. They're humans."

"What? Human?" When the demonic ape heard that, its face changed instantly.

"I can sense an extremely familiar aura from them. I'm certain that these exotic beasts are humans."

"Strange beasts are humans? How is this possible? If they are humans, how could they know the Dao of Illusion? Moreover, they are illusionary beasts. Furthermore, their illusions are so lifelike."

The Devil Ape was puzzled and asked, "Are you sure you didn't sense it wrongly? They are actually demonic beasts that can transform into humans. Their current beast form is their true form."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "It's different. Their auras are completely different. They are humans, not demonic beasts."

As they spoke, the two of them rushed into the forest. However, there were no signs of any exotic beasts. Even after releasing their spiritual senses, they found nothing. It was as if the exotic beasts had disappeared into thin air. During this time, they couldn't even hear any rustling in the forest.

"They're gone. So fast." There was a hint of surprise on the demonic ape's face.

"There's something strange about this area. We should be careful." Zi Chen said, "Let's go. Let's go look for them."

The two of them took to the air and flew towards the depths of the forest. This was the direction Zi Chen had calculated that the exotic beasts were most likely headed in.

Unfortunately, Zi Chen didn't find anything even after chasing for over ten thousand miles. This place had spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it couldn't be used to recover. In addition, there were the exotic beasts from before. This made Zi Chen wary of this world. Zi Chen was worried that they would encounter some kind of danger along the way, so he didn't separate from the demonic ape.

The speed of the two of them was definitely one of the best among their peers. However, after chasing for over ten thousand miles, they still couldn't catch up. Either they were going in the wrong direction, or those exotic beasts had really disappeared into thin air.

After finding nothing, the two of them turned back and left the forest. Previously, when they came out of the forest, they felt that there was something strange about this place. In such a huge forest, there were actually very few exotic beasts.

After leaving the forest, Zi Chen retreated another ten thousand miles and stopped on a spacious flat ground with the demonic ape.

Zi Chen didn't have the leisure to care about whether this world was strange or not. If there was really danger or something strange, he would let them take the initiative to come.

Before that, Zi Chen still had many things to do. First, the most important thing was to comprehend that page of Heavenly Book. Then, he had to comprehend Xiantian techniques. These two things were the most important.

Because no matter which one it was, it would obviously increase his fighting strength.

Just like before, the matter of comprehending Xiantian techniques was left to the two doppelgangers. Zi Chen created two doppelgangers, one gold and one silver. One was comprehending the golden sun, while the other was comprehending the silver moon.

This was the Yin Yang technique that Zi Chen had comprehended from the Sun Moon Royal Family's inheritance technique. Ever since he comprehended it, he hadn't carefully comprehended it.

After the previous incident, Zi Chen no longer trusted his spiritual sense. Therefore, while he was comprehending and increasing his fighting strength, the demonic ape was responsible for protecting Zi Chen.

While the two doppelgangers were comprehending the Yin Yang technique, Zi Chen also took out that page of Heavenly Book. Once the page was taken out, it emitted a bright golden light.

This golden light suddenly soared into the sky like a beam of light. In the next moment, the Heavenly Book in Zi Chen's hand began to tremble, as if it wanted to break free from Zi Chen and fly away.

Zi Chen's expression changed instantly. Then, he grabbed the golden page with all his strength. Just like when Zi Chen found the first page of Heavenly Book, this page was extremely sharp. Under Zi Chen's strong grip, it cut open Zi Chen's skin like a sharp blade.

His skin was cut open, and the golden blood in Zi Chen's body flowed out from the wound and dripped onto the Heavenly Book.

"Buzz."

As the blood dripped onto the Heavenly Book, the book trembled even more violently. Zi Chen felt a pain in his hand as if he was bitten.

The scene from many years ago played out once again. The blood in Zi Chen's body began to flow out crazily. Back when Zi Chen was still in the Xiantian Realm, he had suffered the pain of having his blood sucked out. When Longhu and Torvosaurus had awakened, they had also continuously devoured Zi Chen's blood.

It could be said that Zi Chen was already very experienced in having his blood sucked out. However, at this moment, Zi Chen's expression changed in an instant as he faced the crazy devouring of the golden page.

The speed of the blood flow increased, causing pain in Zi Chen's body. However, he still held the golden page tightly in his hand. No matter how much the golden page trembled, Zi Chen would not let go.

As the blood in his body flowed out, Zi Chen's face became pale and his spirit became weak. This was caused by excessive blood loss. Moreover, it was not ordinary blood, but the essence blood in his body.

Soon, one-third of the blood in Zi Chen's body was gone. However, the speed of the golden page's devouring did not slow down. Soon, half of the blood in Zi Chen's body was sucked away.

Zi Chen's face turned pale and he became weak. His body began to sway. Seeing Zi Chen's condition, the Devil Ape's expression changed. However, it did not go forward to help. Instead, it stood in the distance and watched while being vigilant.

The speed and quantity of the golden page's devouring of blood completely exceeded Zi Chen's expectations. The speed of the golden page's devouring of blood slowly decreased after he had lost 35% of his essence blood and blood.

However, the golden page did not stop devouring. Soon, the remaining 75% of Zi Chen's blood was also gone.

Zi Chen was extremely weak. His vision turned black and he directly fell down. However, he still held the Heavenly Book tightly in his hand.

The Heavenly Book absorbed all of Zi Chen's blood. The golden light around it became even more dazzling. This golden light was like a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

"Damn it."

Seeing this, the Devil Ape cursed and quickly flashed towards Zi Chen. It wanted to see how Zi Chen was doing.

Suddenly, a strong aura gushed out from the Heavenly Book. This aura directly pushed the Devil Ape back. In the next moment, Zi Chen was completely enveloped by the pillar of light.

The Heavenly Book that he was holding tightly in his hand disappeared without him noticing. This page of the Heavenly Book had already entered Zi Chen's Abdomen. The Lightning Yuan in Zi Chen's body was dancing around the Lightning Yuan.

On the surface of the golden page, streaks of golden energy were circulating. As the Lightning Yuan rotated, some of the golden energy would also surge out. It was like a small golden snake that coiled around the Lightning Yuan.

After that, the small golden snake wriggled on the surface of the Lightning Yuan. The golden energy contained in the snake was fusing with the Lightning Yuan.

The golden energy on the golden page was the purest elemental energy in the world. It was called perfect elemental energy. At this moment, this perfect elemental energy was fusing with Zi Chen's Lightning Yuan.

When the golden energy fused with the Lightning Yuan, part of it entered the Lightning Yuan to change and assimilate Zi Chen's elemental energy. The other part formed an energy shield on the surface of the Lightning Yuan.

This energy shield was completely formed by perfect elemental energy. Its function was to prevent all imperfect elemental energy from fusing with it.

This meant that the elemental energy that entered Zi Chen's Lightning Yuan in the future had to be perfect elemental energy. As for the imperfect elemental energy in his body, it would slowly be assimilated by the perfect elemental energy over time.

In Zi Chen's body, the Lightning Yuan was changing and evolving towards perfection. The essence blood that he had lost was being restored by the Perfect Body.

The devil ape did not know about Zi Chen's situation. It was worried about Zi Chen's safety and wanted to go forward to take a look. However, every time it approached, it would be mercilessly repelled by the golden light around Zi Chen's body.

After a dozen attempts, the devil ape finally gave up. However, through the golden light, it could see that Zi Chen's face was rosy and his breathing was steady, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zi Chen was still breathing and his heartbeat was normal. This allowed the devil ape to heave a sigh of relief. However, before it could completely relax, it heard a rustling sound.

When it heard this sound, the devil ape's expression changed drastically.

Evidently, the light pillar around Zi Chen's body was too dazzling and had attracted some unknown existences.

As the rustling sound approached, the number of strange beasts increased. Soon, the devil ape saw strange beasts appear in its field of vision.

These strange beasts were of different shapes and sizes. However, they all had one thing in common: a pair of blue eyes.

One, two, three, ten, twenty …
