Chapter 546: Chapter 539: Reunion
’It seemed so effortless, yet it possessed such power...’
’It wasn’t a magnetic field, nor was it simple physical strength. It was a completely new form of power.’
A flicker of surprise flashed through Lei Yi’s eyes.
’Is this the power wielded by the King Level?’
"Mr. Zhou, how confident are you that you can protect the last King Level Seal?"
After confirming Zhou Yuanjue’s strength, a sliver of hope rose in the hearts of Kutum and the others.
"Very low. In fact, I never intended to truly save that Seal. My goal is to break through my current limitations and prepare for the battles to come," Zhou Yuanjue said, shaking his head.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s answer, Kutum and the others couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, but they didn’t dwell on it.
After all, their original plan was to abandon that Seal and defend their Ancestral Land. They had long been prepared for the Seal to be broken. If they could use it to help Zhou Yuanjue achieve a breakthrough before that happened, it would be a crucial boon for them.
The influence of a King Level individual on the current situation was self-evident.
"I understand, Mr. Zhou. We of the Forest Race will cooperate fully with all your plans," Kutum said with a solemn expression.
"Good. To prevent a surprise attack from the enemy, I need to get to the location of the Seal as soon as possible," Zhou Yuanjue said with a nod.
...
...
While Zhou Yuanjue rushed nonstop toward the final King Level Seal under the guidance of the Forest Race, Andy and his group were situated in a cave deep within the primeval jungle.
Of the original group of four, only three remained. Hui Ming was nowhere to be seen.
After unsealing two King Level Seals and releasing two King Level Celestial Demon True Forms, Hui Ming had immediately left the Congo Basin with the two King Level True Forms, which had been sealed for ages. He went to arrange for their recovery and the Reshaping of their bodies.
After all, they had been sealed for thousands of years. Without undergoing a series of recovery procedures, they would likely be unable to display their full King Level combat strength.
The final Seal was left to the remaining three: Andy and his companions.
Inside the cave, Andy’s own magnetic field spread out, forming a protective dome that enveloped the three of them.
Possessing the "Silence" ability, he used his magnetic field to effectively block the Forest Race’s ubiquitous long-range surveillance in the rainforest, concealing their tracks.
Andrew, who had been infused with the Ancestor’s Blood, sat dazedly to the side, his eyes vacant and unfocused, like a walking corpse.
Meanwhile, the man in black robes sat cross-legged on a large rock in the center of the cave. The sound of a rushing torrent emanated from his body as his powerful physique continuously restored its depleted energy.
"How much longer until you’re fully recovered?" Andy asked the man in black robes.
"It’ll probably take until after midnight. Breaking through two King Level Seals in a row took a significant toll," the man in black robes said flatly.
"The last Seal should be much easier. Those guys from the Forest Race should have completely withdrawn by now, right? I have to say, it’s the right choice for them. At least it will allow them to cling to their existence in this world for a little while longer," Andy said with a slight smile.
"Perhaps. For some reason, I have a strange premonition, a feeling," the man in black robes said softly, shaking his head.
"Oh? What is it?"
Hearing the man’s words, Andy raised an eyebrow.
"I’m not sure. That feeling... it doesn’t come from my True Nature of the Mind. It’s...’" the man in black robes said softly.
The next moment.
WHOOSH!!!
The sound like a rushing torrent inside his body grew even more intense. The very throbbing of his heart made the entire cave tremble slightly. His scorching body temperature vaporized the surrounding moisture, turning it into a fine mist.
"That feeling... it’s coming from this body."
"Can you hear it? The blood in this body... is boiling," the man in black robes muttered to himself.
...
...
Time flew by, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The rainforest was silent at night. The bright moon hung high in the sky, having passed its zenith and begun its descent toward the horizon.
Dappled moonlight shone through the gaps in the dense canopy, illuminating the forest floor.
SWISH!!
A hidden venomous snake struck out, swiftly snatching a scurrying mouse in its jaws.
But then, a honey badger lunged from the bushes on the other side, pinning the snake under its paw.
The dark jungle was filled with peril.
In the quiet of the night, no one could say who was the predator and who was the prey.
「Tens of kilometers away, in the Forest Race Ancestral Land.」
Around a pool of water tens of meters in diameter stood members of the Forest Race, as well as Daoist Bailong and his companions.
The Second and Third Clan Elders of the Forest Race sat cross-legged at opposite ends of the pool. Countless plant roots emerged from the ground, densely piercing their pores and facial orifices in a bizarre sight.
The immense Magnetic Field Power from the two elders spread out, enveloping the entire pool. Their magnetic fields combined with the water’s surface and the reflection of the moonlight, projecting a lifelike image within the pool.
The image showed a clear sky with a bright moon hanging high. In a dense rainforest, a low hill rose from the ground. On a giant rock at its peak, Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed. Six stars twinkled in the sky, and their light, mixed with the moonlight, shone down upon him.
This was the Forest Race’s special Magic, the Wooden Eye.
It used a magnetic field to communicate with specific plants, perceiving the remote location through the plants’ own Life Magnetic Fields. The caster’s magnetic field would then combine with certain elements to recreate the scene as a magnetic field illusion.
Everyone in the Forest Race was watching the situation at the Seal’s location without a moment’s pause.
Unfortunately, even after midnight, the enemy had not appeared.
Just as everyone was beginning to think the enemy wouldn’t show up that night, something unusual suddenly happened in the image.
The trees around the low hill rustled, and several dark figures approached rapidly. They finally came to a stop on the branch of a large tree, looking up at the figure atop the hill.
The enemy had appeared!
The hearts of everyone present leaped into their throats.
「At the scene.」
"It’s actually this guy?"
Andy squinted as he looked at the figure at the core of the third King Level Seal.
To the Celestial Demons, that figure was all too familiar.
Just as Andy’s group spotted Zhou Yuanjue, he also noticed their presence. He slowly rose from the large rock, lowered his head, and fixed his gaze upon them.
The moonlight shone from behind him, casting his front in shadow and obscuring his expression.
But in his bright eyes, they could see an intense will to fight.
