Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Then the middle-aged man clenched his right hand, and a huge palm immediately appeared around him, grabbing towards Zhang Chen. The speed was obviously very slow to the naked eye, but Zhang Chen found that he could not dodge. Feeling the huge oppressive force, Zhang Chen immediately condensed purple blood and energy to form a shield around his body to resist the oppressive force.

But the middle-aged cultivator did not continue to exert force. With a gleam in his eyes, he stared at the purple blood and energy around Zhang Chen as if he had thought of something. Then his eyes became firm and he muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect that this ancient cultivation method could be cultivated to such a level. It's really magical, but this is not the ancient times."

Then his right hand began to clench, and Zhang Chen immediately felt the tremendous force coming at him. The 100,000 kilograms of strength that he was so proud of was completely unable to withstand.

Immediately, the blood in his body that was oppressed began to rush, and his breathing became rapid. The Qilin Armor also appeared and helped Zhang Chen resist the oppressive force.

Looking at the Kirin armor protecting Zhang Chen, the middle-aged man's expression froze, with a strange look in his eyes. Then he grabbed with his left hand, and Zhang Chen felt that the space around him had changed, and the air was being sucked out. In almost a moment, Zhang Chen was already in a vacuum.

"These are cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. They are already able to control some of the laws of heaven and earth. You cannot contend with them at the moment."

The spirit of the instrument felt the changes around it and sighed.

"Hand over your spiritual treasure and the power of the origin of life. Considering that you are also a human, I can let you go as long as you don't cause trouble again in the future."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Chen coldly, revealing unquestionable majesty in every word he spoke.

As if seeing the charity in the middle-aged monk's eyes, Zhang Chen felt a surge of pride. It was just a death, so what was there to be afraid of? Zhang Chen's bones immediately began to crackle, the blood in his body began to boil and then burn, his skin was shining with dazzling flames, his head roared, and he began to burst out with amazing power.

"Hmm? Burning your blood essence? This will overdraw your life."

The spirit of the weapon exclaimed.

"Ants are ants. No matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."

The middle-aged man was calm and composed, and a tremendous pressure covered Zhang Chen, instantly making him feel as if he was carrying several mountains on his back. At the same time, the giant claws became as solid, and astonishing power burst out as they tightened. The surrounding space could not withstand such a shock and kept breaking and condensing.

Zhang Chen immediately began to bleed from his mouth and nose, and his body was severely injured. Although his injuries were recovering rapidly due to the circulation of purple blood and energy, the side effects of burning his blood and essence made Zhang Chen unable to launch a counterattack for a short time. Only the Qilin Armor was still struggling to support him, but as the light on the Qilin Armor continued to dim, it seemed that it would not be able to hold on for long.

"I didn't expect that his strength has surpassed that of a Jindan cultivator. This body is just right for refining into a puppet."

The middle-aged man nodded secretly, then continued to increase his strength, preparing to take down Zhang Chen in one fell swoop.

Soon the Qilin Armor began to glow brightly and was about to be broken. Zhang Chen resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes. In the face of absolute power, any resistance would be futile.

"There is another way, which is..."

The spirit of the weapon suddenly spoke a word, its tone more serious than ever before.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes upon hearing this, looked at the weapon spirit and asked:

"any solution?"

The spirit of the weapon did not answer Zhang Chen's question. Instead, it looked up at the sky and muttered to itself:

"This is my mission, just a little earlier."

After saying this, the already dim Qilin Armor suddenly burst out with dazzling sun light again, and the light also carried a destructive force.

"This is?"

The middle-aged man finally changed color, and his figure immediately teleported to a hundred miles away. He looked at the place where the light was coming from with a shocked expression.

"Crazy, crazy, he actually exposed his spiritual treasure. How could he do that? How could a spiritual treasure that has become a weapon spirit be willing to be destroyed like this?"

In the center of the light, Zhang Chen's face was filled with shock. He had no idea what was going on, but he also felt that it was not a good thing.

"What are you doing? Stop it now."

Zhang Chen shouted anxiously.

"It's too late. Once you start, you can't stop."

The spirit of the weapon looked indifferent, as if it had known this would happen.

Then there was a deafening explosion, and the space within a hundred miles was annihilated and turned into nothingness. However, Zhang Chen, who was at the center, was not hurt at all. The Qilin Armor turned into countless fragments, and under the control of the weapon spirit, all of them merged into Zhang Chen's body.

Then the weapon spirit's face turned pale, and its figure became extremely transparent, as if it would disappear at any time, and it also drilled into Zhang Chen's body.

"Take this opportunity to leave quickly."

Finally, a hurried voice was heard.

Zhang Chen had no time to think or feel sad, as he entered the space that had not yet completely closed and desperately ran out.

Half a month later, on the coast of the East China Sea, a young monk stopped on a reef, staring in a trance at the fishermen going out to sea to fish in the distance. This man was Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen ran in the space for ten days. After he came out of the space, he found that he had arrived in Qi State. After resting for a few days and all his injuries healed, Zhang Chen began to notice changes in his body.

Bones, muscles, skin, meridians, and internal organs began to turn into jade, causing Zhang Chen's body to undergo earth-shaking changes. His strength was also growing uncontrollably. The increase in strength was a good thing, but it became a disaster for Zhang Chen.

It's like a building that is constantly under construction. If the foundation is not strong enough, the higher the building is built, the more dangerous it will be and the easier it will be to collapse.

Zhang Chen is in this situation right now. His bones and muscles are constantly strengthening, and his strength seems to be increasing, but he cannot provide the energy needed for this growth, and he cannot stop.

Zhang Chen had taken a drop of the origin of life three days ago, which barely resisted the consumption of energy. However, Zhang Chen estimated that he could only hold on for a month. With the last drop of the origin of life in his hand, he could only hold on for two months at most.

"Maybe I will be the first person to exhaust his life due to the growth of strength?"

Zhang Chen looked at the seashore in the distance and smiled to himself.

"There is no other way. Although the chance is slim, we should go to the Endless Sea to search. Only the life source of the Tree of Life can withstand this consumption."

The spirit of the weapon came out of Zhang Chen's body and looked into the distance.

"The Tree of Life? The Endless Sea? It's not that easy to find. We can only leave it to fate."

Zhang Chen sighed, then got ready and hid some things he didn't need in a secret place, especially the Tianyuan Fruit he had obtained earlier. Zhang Chen originally wanted to give it to Li Yingnan at Qingyumen, but things happened too quickly and he couldn't find a chance to give it away.

Afterwards, Zhang Chen came to the nearest Xiuxian Market and rented a room there. He then found a shop that specialized in delivering letters and asked him to deliver a jade slip to Qingyu Gate to Li Yingnan, which contained information asking Li Yingnan to come here. He then left another jade slip in the room, which described the specific location where he had hidden something.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Chen left the market town and looked at the boundless sea. According to the vague memory of the spirit of the weapon, he flew towards the deep sea to look for the legendary tree of life.
