At the critical moment, the treant was extremely clear of Chu Mubai's current thoughts, so he did not disturb him and quietly observed everything that was happening outside from his soul realm.

Chu Mubai had completely fallen into a state of battle. To him, the ghost ship and the rest would never be able to sail smoothly, so a great battle was inevitable.

"Hua!"

After taking a few steps back, Chu Mubai activated his Fire Spirit Qi and ignited a wisp of flame in his heart. After all, in this dark world, he was unable to clearly see the face of his enemy.

The instant that strand of flame appeared, the originally pitch-black passageway shined brightly. Everything around him appeared before his eyes.

"The broken walls, the ground covered in sword marks, the regret all over the place, the broken chains, the chains that haven't been broken …" "Ding ding ding!"

At this time, the sound of metal scraping against the ground came from the right, causing Chu Mubai's ears to move slightly. He turned around to look, only to see a person standing there, his clothes torn, his entire body covered in filth, his hair in a mess, and even covering his entire head. With one glance, he knew that a person that had not been tidied up for over a hundred years had appeared in front of him.

It wasn't hard to tell that this person was human from his body and breathing, but the way he walked was indeed prone and his breathing was very heavy. This was very similar to demonic beasts.

The eyes that were hidden under her hair flickered with a bright and spirited light, staring straight at Chu Mubai, her body constantly pacing back and forth, as though she was already prepared to fight.

Chu Mubai's eyes narrowed, he subconsciously held the Blazing Sword tightly, ready for battle.

Of course, at this moment, his heart was filled with shock and puzzlement at the same time.

Right now, all of this was as he had expected. Within the ghost ship, there were indeed people who were still alive. Moreover, based on the current situation, the people that were trapped here for several hundred years should be on par with the first batch of people that were killed.

Then how did this person survive?

What did he live on? What did he eat?

What to drink?

All of this was an unknown number, an unknown number that Chu Mubai was extremely puzzled and curious about.

"Young master, this fellow's body actually smells like beast blood!"

At this time, Treeman's voice also sounded very serious, no longer being as frivolous as before.

Treant itself was a demonic beast, so it could clearly sense its aura, blood, and strength.

The current him was naturally able to sense the strangeness of the current situation. This … This was simply unbelievable.

Towards the Tree Spirit Demon's surprise, Chu Mubai sighed, and only nodded his head, how could he not know, that this was the Qi of a Spirit Demon Beast's blood.

However, so what if he knew?

Could he stop it just because he knew about it?

The only thing he could do, and the thing he had to do, was to defeat this half-beast and half-man in front of him!

"Just who is this guy!?" Why was there beast blood in his body? Furthermore, the blood seems to have become one with him! "

The tree demon continued to question.

At this moment, he was probably completely shocked.

Chu Mubai shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of helplessness, "I'm not too sure either, but one thing is for sure, this fellow was originally a human. I think that this should be the reason behind the ghost ship's creation, after all these hundreds of years, there must have been someone behind it planning something, a secret that no one knows of. It is an extremely tragic experiment, and furthermore, I'm afraid that this experiment of his, is about to succeed!"

"You mean, turning humans into this?"

After the Tree Spirit heard what Chu Mubai had said, it suddenly seemed to come to a realization and shouted out.

"Hmm, I think so. Now, all we need to do is to verify this fellow's fighting ability, and everything will be known."

The corner of Chu Mubai's mouth curved into an evil smile. Once he said that, he immediately rushed forward with his right fist clenched tightly, his Essence condensed at the tip of his fist, filled with a ferocious power.

His fist flew towards the strange man.

"Hiss hiss!"

After the strange person sensed Chu Mubai's ferocious attack, he stuck out his tongue and let out a strange sound. Naturally, he had sensed the approaching danger.

However, he did not choose to retreat, but tilted his head and looked at Chu Mubai, and just as Chu Mubai's attack was about to hit him, he raised his hand to block!

The power to resist was so simple that it did not seem to have undergone any condensation. However, the power released could not be underestimated.

At least, Chu Mubai had absorbed the condensed power, and after releasing the Dragon Tiger Fist, his strength had reached forty thousand kilograms.

Even if it was a astral plane practitioner, they would need to go all out to deal with such a powerful force.

But even so, that half beast, half human, was able to easily block that one attack, causing Chu Mubai's attack to completely collapse!

Furthermore, when Chu Mubai clashed with the pair of fists, he actually felt waves of pain and numbness coming from the arms. This had never happened before, and this showed that the opponent's strength was formidable to a certain extent!

Even Chu Mubai had fallen into an absolute state of shock because of this.

He knew very well what this meant!

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mubai decided to take a few steps back. He quietly observed the enemy's movements and sunk into deep thought.

The reaction of this person was very simple. His Essence did not have any condensation on it, and his strength was very casual.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of power couldn't be very strong because it couldn't be gathered together.

However, this situation did not seem to exist on this half-human half-beast.

Their strength had far surpassed Chu Mubai's imagination. They could instantly gather and release their strength to the maximum; their speed, could also be displayed to the maximum in an instant.

The strength of these people could be said to have reached a monstrous level!

This... Could it be that this was what those people wanted to do?

To let humans possess the physical body of a demon beast?

God created the Hundred Races. Amongst them, after hundreds of millions of years, there aren't many races that are suitable for living on the continent. Humans and beast races are the most common.

Humans possessed innate wisdom. They were able to cultivate their origin energy and their martial arts. They were even able to create martial skills, secret techniques, formations, talismans, and other means to assist in battle. This was also the key reason why they were able to emerge from the Hundred Races.

However, there was one fatal existence among the human race. That was, other than intelligence, there was nothing special about them. They did not possess any physical strength or superiority.

The beast race had the strongest physical strength out of the Hundred Races. This was also the key to their strength.

Although humans could suppress the beast race in real combat, they were still extremely powerful existences. At the very least, the limit that humans could do was to live in peace with them and share the world with them.

However, if a human possessed a body comparable to a demon beast, then everything would be completely different!

A human martial artist's cultivation was mostly based on martial arts origin energy. Very few people were willing to simply train the strength of their body.

This was because in the eyes of most people, the destructive power created by Essence was even stronger.

Of course, this kind of thinking could be said to be incorrect. However, it was also the general idea of those who had a lower level of martial dao.

When the cultivation realm crossed over astral plane, or grew to the same realm as Chu Mubai thirty thousand years ago, one would realize that the importance of the physical body compared to his vitality, was not a little more!

This was because the existence of the physical body was crucial to the carrying capacity of the Yuan Qi!

If a human cultivator wanted to manipulate the origin energy, they would need a golden core of 10 feet. If the golden core was broken, then humans would not be able to refine the origin energy, and similarly, the weak ones would have weaker talent in martial arts and would be able to refine less origin energy. If the golden core was powerful, then the amount of origin energy that could be refined would be not only great, but also extremely dense.

Actually, a large part of the reason why Chu Mubai lost that battle in the Divine Pavilion was because his realm in the martial way wasn't strong enough and his vitality wasn't plentiful enough, so he couldn't sustain a large battle with Chu Mubai for a long time!

Thus, the first thing that would happen after rebirth after 30,000 years was naturally cultivation. However, the cultivation method he chose was completely different from that of 30,000 years ago!

30,000 years ago, just like most people, he focused on training his elemental energy. But now, he chose to train his physical body, the Eight Desolations Bodies of the Berserker Bone, instead of his physical body!

It was because he was very clear that the cultivation of Essence would only start when his body reached a certain level, and only then would he be able to perfectly control the Essence and the power of the Astral Souls. This was also the key reason why he was able to be unrivalled at the same level for such a long time.

It was because he was aware of the importance of this matter that Chu Mubai was so sure. This experiment, was definitely carried out by those people in the dark, in order to allow humans to possess the body of a Spirit Demon Beast!

Once this experiment was successful, it would mean that a qualitative leap in a human's strength would be possible. At that time, it would not be impossible for one to completely destroy a Demonic Beast.

However … If this method was successful, when humans reached a peak state, the originally balanced biological chain would be destroyed. Perhaps, the continent would once again experience countless bloody battles to the death.

Of course, these were not things that Chu Mubai would think about. The problem that he was truly thinking about right now was, what exactly did these people mean by doing this?

This was an extremely important matter, and it was also the issue that he was most worried about right now.

"No matter what, let's fight first. I want to see just what kind of power this guy has, and how far his transformed body has reached!" Right now, his mind is not clear at all, and even if it's a friendly conversation, it's impossible. It's better to just do it first! "

Chu Mubai was also a man of character, furthermore with regards to matters of war, he would never bow down to anyone!
