A handsome man in white slowly opened his eyes, revealing his nearly iconic heterochromatic pupils.
No one could have imagined that this handsome man, who looked like a frail scholar, had nearly wiped out the entire Ling Clan party by himself just moments ago.
"The Ling Clan has been dealt with. Only the Shi Clan, Yao Clan, and Yan Clan remain." Hun Tianchen's face was somewhat pale; he had suffered some injuries in the battle just now.
Because he had sent a clone, which possessed only half of his own strength, he had fought an exceptionally difficult battle.
However, after this battle, he had gained a clearer understanding of his own combat strength.
He definitely possessed the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Venerate.
And with the Sacred Body Demonic Heart physique, he could practically be called the strongest person beneath the Dou Saint realm.
Even a Half Saint might have difficulty defeating him.
Though this physique was heaven-defying, its side effects on Hun Tianchen were equally severe.
For instance, his heart was a Demonic Heart.
With the Demonic Heart, he could practically be said to possess no humanity at all. Even his emotions were cold and merciless, cruel to the extreme.
Although he possessed supreme Holy Power, his heart did not carry the faintest trace of color. It was a colorless black.
Sometimes, he wondered whether he was controlling the Demonic Heart, or whether the Demonic Heart was controlling him.
Like Xiao Yan, Hun Tianchen had transmigrated here from Earth.
Yet ever since arriving in this Dou Qi Continent, Hun Tianchen had felt his emotions diminishing day by day.
Just now, he had killed seven Dou Venerates from the Ling Clan, yet he felt neither guilt nor burden in his heart.
No matter what, those seven Dou Venerates had never provoked him, nor had they ever provoked the Hun Clan.
Even back on Earth, while Hun Tianchen had not been a good person, he could not be considered especially bad either. He had simply been an ordinary passerby.
"Why doesn't my heart feel the slightest stir?"
For the so-called grand plan of the Hun Clan, Hun Tianchen knew perfectly well what fate awaited the clan in the future.
They would be exterminated by Xiao Yan.
No matter what, the Hun Clan was his family in this world.
To ensure that his family survived, he could only pay any price.
Sometimes, knowing full well that one was doing evil and yet charging ahead without hesitation could be considered a kind of helplessness.
As a black shadow returned from afar and merged into his body, Hun Tianchen's pale complexion finally improved somewhat.
"Was that huge commotion just now your doing?"
Hearing Queen Medusa suddenly speak beside him, Hun Tianchen turned to look at her.
"You noticed?"
"A while ago, your cultivation suddenly fell to the level of a One-Star Dou Venerate." Queen Medusa frowned her beautiful brows. "With your current strength, even I might not be able to defeat you. Yet just now, your cultivation returned."
"That period just now was when you were at your weakest. Even an ordinary One-Star Dou Venerate could have killed you." Queen Medusa stared fixedly at him.
"Thank you for guarding me, Your Majesty." Hun Tianchen smiled, not denying it.
"I don't know what you intend to do, but when you're alone, it's best not to use that ability of yours recklessly." Queen Medusa shot him a glance and warned, "If you encounter someone else, you'll be killed."
"Isn't it because you were here that I dared to use it?" Hun Tianchen replied.
"You trust me that much?" Queen Medusa said coldly. "If you weren't supposed to lead the way for me, perhaps one day, if I found you unpleasant to look at, you'd be dead."
"I know you're in a very good mood right now, so I think you'll protect me." Hun Tianchen brought her to the Soul Infant Demon Tree.
At this moment, a great number of people had gathered on the small island. All of them had their eyes on the Soul Infant Demon Tree, but such a rare treasure of heaven and earth would inevitably have a guardian magical beast nearby.
The previously tranquil lake surged into towering waves. A massive shadow swiftly emerged beneath its surface before bursting from the water with a splash. Its enormous eyes glinted fiercely as they swept across the surroundings.
The enormous creature that burst from the water possessed the body of a snake, its long form covered in azure scales. Its body was extremely long, and most people could see only the segment exposed above the water.
A pitch-black horn also protruded from its head. Mysterious patterns covered the horn, and faint blue light flickered over it.
"A Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon? It has long gone extinct in the outside world!" Many well-informed Dou Venerate elders recognized this miraculous creature.
Hun Tianchen had read of the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon, an ancient magical beast, in old texts. In ancient times, this magical beast had been quite renowned for its combat strength.
It was said that the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon also possessed a trace of dragon blood within its body. If it could shed its mortal form and survive countless lightning tribulations, it might truly evolve into an Ancient Void Dragon.
Quite a few people were battling the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon, attempting to seize the Soul Infant Fruits from the Soul Infant Demon Tree, but none succeeded.
Queen Medusa also gazed at the Soul Infant Demon Tree, then looked at Hun Tianchen.
"You want the Soul Infant Fruit?"
"Such a rare treasure is naturally something I'd like to obtain as a collectible." Hun Tianchen stood with his hands behind his back and strolled calmly into the crowd.
The kingly aura he carried caused the crowd to instinctively part before him.
Hun Tianchen cleared his throat and slowly declared, "I'll be taking the Soul Infant Fruit. Everyone, step aside."
"Where did this little—" A Six-Star Dou Venerate could not help but start cursing, but when he turned and saw Hun Tianchen, the words caught in his throat.
Hun Tianchen was someone they recognized—the Hun Clan was one of the major powers among the Ancient Eight Clans.
The Six-Star Dou Venerate hurriedly changed his tune, his tone softening considerably.
"Even if you're from the Hun Clan, you can't just claim whatever you want, can you?"
Seeing that most of them had stopped fighting the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon and were all staring at him, Hun Tianchen's expression turned cold.
"Was I negotiating with you?"
His aura surged forth like an ancient Giant Dragon, and a faint dragon's roar echoed from within his body.
With a single step, he appeared before the Six-Star Dou Venerate who had spoken first as if he had teleported. He merely swung his hand, yet with the sheer power of his physical body, he sent the Six-Star Dou Venerate flying with one slap.
Everyone who saw this gasped. Some decisive individuals immediately turned and fled.
His background was already absurdly powerful, and now his strength was this outrageous too. Who could possibly fight him? Staying any longer would just be a waste of time.
Sending a Six-Star Dou Venerate flying with one slap... Even Queen Medusa's lips twitched at the sight.
One had to know that he was still injured!
Although this Six-Star Dou Venerate was among the weaker ones of his rank, he was still a Six-Star Dou Venerate.
Were Six-Star Dou Venerates really this weak?
"Why aren't you getting lost?" Hun Tianchen shouted angrily, his vast aura spreading outward like a virus.
Everyone exchanged looks, but in the end, they all left under Hun Tianchen's threat.
