110. Is He A Spy?

Seeing the situation, Chen Xuan immediately activated the Kaio Ken to its maximum level.

He also activated the "All" technique from the Nine Secret Words Art.

In an instant.

He became a powerful expert who had reached the Samsara stage.

Then.

Raising his hand calmly, he said, "Time Freeze!"

The next second.

A strange ripple, like a wave, emanated from his body.

The menacing demonic claw immediately stopped its downward motion.

Then, the claw vanished.

"Huh?"

The spirit of the monument suddenly realized that it wasn't just the demonic claw that had disappeared.

The terrifying True Devil King, whom it had suppressed for a thousand years, was also gone!

The spirit was dumbfounded.

What just happened? How did that True Devil King disappear so suddenly? Vaguely, it heard four words.

"Time Freeze."

What does that mean? Could it be...

He can freeze time? How is that possible?!

Even the Symbol Ancestor couldn't do such a thing back in the day!

How could someone at the Nirvana stage achieve it?

[Ding, the Great Desolation Monument Spirit experiences shock. Emotion value +999]

The spirit looked over at Chen Xuan.

It saw him, as if nothing had happened, using the Devouring Ancestar Symbol and Ancestral Stone to purify the demonic energy around them.

Uh…

The True Devil King was indeed gone.

So…

What just happened? The spirit wracked its brain but couldn't figure it out.

At that moment, Chen Xuan turned to it and said, "Please wait a moment, senior. I'll finish purifying the demonic energy, and then we can talk."

"Al… alright."

The monument spirit nodded in astonishment.

Soon, Chen Xuan finished purifying the demonic energy.

The dark specks on the surface of the Great Desolate Monument gradually disappeared.

The monument spirit immediately felt rejuvenated.

Full of energy.

But now, it was more curious about how Chen Xuan had managed to instantly kill a True Devil King!

Facing the monument spirit.

Chen Xuan didn’t hold back.

It turned out that just as the demonic claw was about to strike down.

He activated the Time Freeze.

Although it lasted only a second or two.

It was enough for him!

He swiftly used two Ancestral Symbols and Ancestral Stones to erase the demon.

After hearing his explanation.

The monument spirit was stunned.

Is there truly an artifact that can freeze time in this world? That’s just too incredible!

If the Symbol Ancestor had possessed this power back then.

The Yimo Emperor would have been finished long ago! It seems that this young man before me.

Will undoubtedly surpass the Symbol Ancestor in the future!

He can be trusted!

[Ding, the monument spirit feels a sense of approval. Emotion value +500]

The spirit then raised its finger.

The surface of the monument trembled.

Then, ancient words detached from the monument and formed four ancient yellow characters in front of him.

Great Desolate Script!

"Young friend, as thanks for your help, I’ll gift you the Great Desolate Script."

The Great Desolate Script was created by the spirit itself.

Once mastered, it can turn all land within ten thousand miles barren.

It absorbs life force for one’s own use.

Its power is immense!

However, as soon as the scripture formed, it automatically entered Chen Xuan’s mind.

"Huh?"

The monument spirit was taken aback.

What just happened? I didn’t even guide it!

How did it enter on its own?

Chen Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior. May I ask if I’m allowed to teach this skill to others?"

"This martial art is already yours. How you use it is entirely up to you," the monument spirit said generously.

Chen Xuan: "Thank you, senior. I have another question."

Monument Spirit: "Go ahead."

Chen Xuan asked seriously, "Over the years, have any other demons secretly contacted the True Devil King you've been suppressing?"

The monument spirit replied firmly, "No."

Chen Xuan didn't press further.

In the end, the demon was eradicated.

The Great Desolate Monument, knowing that Chen Xuan would continue to fight against demons in the future, decided to recognize him as its master as a gesture of gratitude.

At that moment, the space began to crack open.

Outside, everyone was still anxiously waiting.

No one was sure if Chen Xuan would succeed.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Desolate Hall had already withdrawn from their comprehension attempts, all looking frustrated.

"Hall Master, we… failed," Jiang Hao and the others said with awkward expressions.

The Hall Master, Wu Dao, sighed, "Well, if we failed, we failed. It's not the first time."

"It's fate," Chen Zhen added with a bitter smile.

Xia Yan sighed, "Nothing interesting here anymore."

The main and deputy hall masters were preparing to leave.

Qi Lei stopped them, "Hey, what’s the rush? Chen Xuan from my Sky Hall is still in there!"

Chen Xuan?

No one had any real hope for him.

A guy without even a hint of Desolate Force—how could he possibly comprehend the Great Desolate Script? If he succeeded, wouldn't that make them all look like fools?

In the sky, Ying Xuanzi also sighed, "It doesn’t seem like he’ll succeed, after all."

Initially, he’d held high hopes for Chen Xuan.

But now, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"This Great Desolate Monument is really heartless. Our Dao Sect has supported it for a thousand years!" complained a blue-robed elder angrily.

Ying Xuanzi gave a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do. The origins of this monument are extraordinary. It’s not obligated to show us favor."

The Dao Sect and Desolate Hall were established because of the existence of treasures like the Desolate Stone and the Great Desolate Monument in this region.

But over the years, very few have been able to comprehend the Great Desolate Script.

The blue-robed elder was merely venting his frustrations.

It’s not like he could actually do anything to the Great Desolation Monument.

Ying Xiaoxiao sighed, "Looks like Chen Xuan's undefeated streak is about to end here with the Great Desolate Script."

"This damn stone monument! Why can’t it just help our Dao Sect’s strength? I just want to smash it!" Ying Huanhuan clenched her small fists in anger, punching the air as if she could shatter the monument to vent her frustration.

But then…

They were shocked to see the thousand-foot-tall ancient monument begin to shrink!

What was going on?

Were they seeing things?

Then they watched as the Great Desolate Monument emitted radiant light and quickly shrank.

Finally, it became as small as a palm and flew straight towards Chen Xuan.

Ying Xuanzi: "?"

Blue-robed elder: "?"

All the hall masters: "?"

Countless disciples: "?"

Ying Huanhuan and Ying Xiaoxiao: "?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Wait!

Chen Xuan, you were supposed to be there to comprehend the Great Desolate Script, not to take away the Great Desolation Monument!

How did you just walk off with it?

How are the future disciples of Desolate Hall supposed to comprehend the Great Desolate Script now?

Wait a minute!

Are you an undercover agent sent by the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, here to mess with us on purpose?

Qi Lei broke out in a cold sweat.

He was the one who’d brought Chen Xuan here, so if anything went wrong, he’d also be held responsible!

Before he could step forward to question Chen Xuan, Wu Dao moved ahead and angrily shouted, "Chen Xuan! The Great Desolate Monument is the treasure of our Desolate Hall! How could you just take it for yourself?"
