There were plenty of leaves in the ancient tree, each the size of a water tank, such that not even humans were as big as the leaves. As one stood underneath the ancient tree, they could deeply feel how small they were.
Qingfeng stood underneath this ancient tree that was a thousand or so meters tall, and released his spiritual energy. After a short moment, he didn’t notice the Rock Monarch’s tracks.
Qingfeng frowned as he asked, “Puppy, there aren’t traces of the Rock Monarch’s energy here. Where is he hiding? I can’t feel him at all.”
Black Puppy raised its dog nose and walked around this big tree that needed several dozens of people to wrap around its circumference, and after a circle, it raised its dog paws and pointed underneath the tree.
Qingfeng grew concerned, and through Black Puppy’s movements, he already knew what the meaning was. The Rock Monarch was hiding underneath the tree.
Qingfeng unleashed his spiritual energy, and pierced downwards onto the big tree, but noticed that the Rock Monarch wasn’t there at all, aside from layers and layers of soil.
Suddenly, Qingfeng’s eyes flashed, because he just remembered the black rock man he had just killed. That black rock man’s body was just formed with soil and disappeared into the ground, which meant that the rock man’s master, the Rock Monarch must have turned into soil as well.
Qingfeng’s eyes blinked nonstop as he stared at the soil underneath the soil, and he noticed that the soil around some parts was darker in color. It was also emitting a subtle wave of energy, such that one wouldn’t notice unless they looked closely.
Qingfeng channeled his vital essence without another word and gathered it into a massive golden fist and charged at the soil on the bottom of the ancient tree.
Bang!
With a loud sound, this ancient tree of over thousands of years old broke under Qingfeng’s fist, as the soil underneath blew up upon impact, and turned into countless pieces.
At the same time, a painful roar sounded from the depth of the ground underneath, “Damn human, how did you find me?”
This voice had hints of wild arrogance, combined with anger.
Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, “Rock Monarch, will you come out yourself or should I come get you?”
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Loud rumbling sounds came from the depth of the ground beneath, then several hundred feet of soil from beneath the ground gathered together and formed into a massive giant several dozens of meters tall.
Rays and rays of talisman scripts were emitted from his body, which were all talisman scripts specific to the Rock tribe. At the same time, his body had the word “monarch” sculpted on it, clearly this was the leader of the rock men, the Rock Monarch.
However, the Rock Monarch looked somewhat disgruntled, as a massive hole was punctured in his chest, with broken arms, and one blind eye, with lines and lines of scars on his face.
Qingfeng frowned, because he noticed that the Rock Monarch’s scars were very big, but Qingfeng had only attacked him once. There were plenty of other wounds that Qingfeng didn’t cause.
It just meant that there had already been plenty of other self-cultivators who had fought with the Rock Monarch and heavily wounded him, and so he ran away and hid there.
The Rock Monarch looked at Qingfeng and said angrily, “You despicable humans, you’ve all allied with each other to attack me, in desire for the treasures of the Sun Monarch Tomb. You’re asking for death.”
Qingfeng shook his head and said, “The Sun Monarch Tomb treasures should have surfaced already, and those who deserve it will get it with their powers. If I’m guessing correctly, then you must have been wounded by Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue, and the others, but your powers are fairly strong to be able to escape from me. You must have the ‘Heart of the Saint Rock’ on you.”
The Rock Monarch’s iris shrunk when he heard Qingfeng, as he stepped back in fear. Since his body was several dozens of meters tall, at the same height as ten or so self-cultivators, it made Qingfeng seem incredibly small as he stood there.
However, Qingfeng’s words made his face change dramatically, because he had revealed his deepest secret.
Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue, and the others were incredibly powerful with invincible dharma treasures, such that not even Qingfeng could defeat them, but the Rock Monarch had escaped their wrath. It would be impossible to escape if he didn’t have the dharma treasure.
Qingfeng lightly smiled, looked at the Rock Monarch before him and said, “Hand over your hidden Heart of the Saint Rock, and I’ll let you live.”
The Rock Monarch shook his head and roared in laughter, and said, “Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue couldn’t even kill me with their eighth level monarch grade attacks, and I’ve managed to escape. How could a mere seventh level spirit monarch like you dare to threaten me?”
Qingfeng said nonchalantly, “If you were at your prime, then I might not be able to kill you, but don’t forget that you’re deeply wounded now with a big hole on your chest. The other parts of your body are heavily wounded as well with decreased combat ability. Do you still think you can fight me?”
The Rock Monarch grew cold as he said, “Even if my combat abilities have decreased, I’m still at least equivalent to a seventh level spirit monarch realm cultivator at their peak and can kill you easily.”
Qingfeng shook his head and spoke no more because he knew that talking with the Rock Monarch was wasting his breath. He had no clue how powerful he was.
Qingfeng’s physical strength was invincible, with no one else as powerful as him in the same level, and he didn’t fear the Rock Monarch at all.
He activated the Wind-elemental wings to form green whirlwinds on his back. He immediately flew halfway into the air and arrived before the Rock Monarch.
Qingfeng waved his right fist and activated the Strangle Hell Fist and Gold Dao Seed to release black and gold light. The two lights combined into unbelievable energy that immediately exploded the air and charged toward the Rock Monarch.
The Rock Monarch’s face changed because he felt threatened by this golden fist.
“Stone Spiritual Fist” shouted the Rock Monarch, as he unleashed his fist technique to form a several thousand feet large Stone Fist.
This Stone Fist was very powerful, as soon as he appeared, all the rocks and soils flew up all around like the end of the world, and the entire underground space clearly fell into turbulence.
Qingfeng didn’t care at all, and without any reservation, the Strangle Hell Fist heavily clashed onto the opponent’s Stone Spiritual Fist.
Bang!
With a loud sound, the entire Sun Monarch Tomb seemed to have shaken, as if all the self-cultivators felt an earthquake-like rumble.
In the next moment, the Rock Monarch’s body stepped back by several steps as his face paled. Of course, he was a rock man, so significant changes couldn’t be seen, but his body shook several times and nearly fell over.
The Rock Monarch looked at Qingfeng before him with shock on his face, as he said, “How is this possible? How could you block my Stone Spiritual Fist and defeat me?”
Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, “Nothing is impossible, I still haven’t used my dharma treasure yet, because I want to spare your life and give you one last chance to hand over your dharma treasure. I’ll spare your life.”
