Chapter 446: A Swift Surrender

In the distance, Marquises Moses was desperately running away.

He did not want to escape.

In front of him stood the strongest member of humanity, which was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity of his life.

If he could capture this powerful human, no matter who he presented him to, he would get whatever he desired.

Even the top-quality immortal materials that could enhance one’s talents would be in abundance.

Although he rarely paid attention to Yi Chen due to his lower status, he clearly understood the immense value of this strongest member of humanity.

But he had to flee.

Both the Sword Energy and the sea of fire were significantly more powerful than him.

Especially the sea of fire, which had a tremendous restraining effect on him.

From a strength perspective, he had no confidence in defeating Yi Chen.

This strongest member of humanity, although a full major realm lower, seemed slightly stronger than him.

Not to mention, based on his deductions, Yi Chen was highly likely not to have come alone and probably had set up ambushes nearby.

Filled with ambition, he resented Duke Farah for not taking sides sooner, which led him to miss the chance to achieve great accomplishments and break through his strength bottleneck using powerful resources.

But just as Yi Chen had deduced, he lacked the courage and determination.

With such an enormous opportunity before him, he still inexplicably chose to run away.

If Duke Farah had to choose between the Undying King and Duke Bolai, he probably wouldn’t have the guts to fight to the death, charging to the front lines and taking on the most dangerous tasks to earn military achievements.

One thousand kilometers, one thousand one hundred kilometers, one thousand two hundred kilometers…

Sensing that Yi Chen was still at the same spot while the distance continued to widen, Marquises Moses’s anxious heart began to ease.

He knew Yi Chen had created skills that allowed for extremely fast movement, which was one of his main reasons for choosing to flee.

What surprised him was that this strongest member of humanity actually had such poor combat experience; seeing him run away, he stood there in a daze instead of giving chase.

In that moment, he even had the impulsive urge to turn back and attack.

Combat experience is also a manifestation of strength.

With rich combat experience, one could potentially seize an opportunity to turn the tide, even if they were slightly inferior in attack and speed.

However, safety comes first. After much hesitation, he decided that prioritizing his own life was more important, and he would gather trusted subordinates to launch an attack afterward.

Just as he was thinking this, his Perception Ability suddenly lost the presence of Yi Chen, who was two thousand kilometers away.

This shocked him greatly.

In the next instant, his Perception Ability sensed Yi Chen again.

But this time, it was no longer two thousand kilometers behind him; it was less than a kilometer in front of him.

Was this… teleportation?

And the teleportation distance reached two thousand kilometers!

This strongest member of humanity has actually created a teleportation-type skill?

He felt that just this news alone could allow him to sell it to any dominant race in his star cluster for several high-grade immortal materials that could enhance talents.

But the prerequisite was that he had to escape alive.

He finally understood why Yi Chen had been standing there without chasing him.

It wasn’t due to a lack of combat experience.

He simply didn’t feel like pursuing him.

As he was filled with fear, contemplating how to escape this disaster, Yi Chen waved his hand.

The Binding Immortal Rope and the Map of Mountains and Rivers flew out together.

In the next second, a powerful suction force surged from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, making it almost impossible for him to move.

He gathered all his energy just to barely resist being pulled into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, but he still couldn’t increase the distance between himself and it.

The Binding Immortal Rope coiled around him like a spiritual serpent.

He was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the Binding Immortal Rope reached him and wrapped around his body.

The moment he was ensnared by the Binding Immortal Rope, he was terrified to discover that an inexplicable force suppressed the energy inside his body, preventing him from releasing it.

Without being able to mobilize his energy, he couldn’t resist the suction force from the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

His body involuntarily flew toward the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Just as he was about to be sucked in, Yi Chen willed, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers was pulled back.

He secretly admired Yi Chen.

This member of humanity didn’t have many treasures, only two that he refined.

Those were the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Binding Immortal Rope.

And these two treasures, under continuous refinement, had extraordinarily powerful abilities.

Complementing each other, their strength was outrageous.

With the Teleportation Technique, he could approach and, at close range, even an enemy one major realm above himself could be instantly trapped.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Yi Chen fly in front of him, Marquises Moses shouted with a fierce but weak tone.

Yi Chen was too lazy to respond; he waved his hand.

A flame surged toward Marquises Moses.

The piercing screams were endless.

"I surrender, I’m willing to surrender…"

In the flames, Marquises Moses endured the scorching pain and begged for mercy frantically.

"Is that all it takes for you to surrender?"

Yi Chen clicked his tongue; the Undying Race indeed feared flames.

Just like the information gathered by the Intelligence Organization, once burned to ashes, even if one can regenerate with blood, it would be too late to save oneself.

He immediately withdrew the flames.

Marquises Moses had been turned into a lump of blackened charcoal, completely unrecognizable from before.

Yi Chen’s Perception Ability enveloped Marquises Moses.

With his energy suppressed, Marquises Moses’s powerful self-healing ability was rendered useless.

He then withdrew the Binding Immortal Rope.

His divine consciousness sensed that the energy inside Marquises Moses began to circulate, the charred flesh peeling away, and new flesh and blood rapidly generated.

In just a moment, he restored to his original state.

This self-healing ability was indeed astonishingly powerful.

Having nearly half of his flesh burned, he could fully regenerate in a short time.

Yi Chen engulfed Marquises Moses in flames again.

However, the temperature of the flames was not as high as before.

The body that Marquises Moses had just painstakingly restored was burned once more and quickly healed again as the energy circulated.

But as he healed here, new burns were continuously inflicted.

It went on like this, in endless cycles.

Marquises Moses screamed in agony.

The intense pain tortured his spirit, causing him to feel as if he were dying and coming back to life repeatedly.

It wasn’t until more than an hour later that Yi Chen finally stopped.

In his heart, he gained a direct understanding of the self-healing ability and principles of the Undying Race.

With his current terrifying talent, combined with more than an hour of observation and research, creating a skill that rivals the self-healing ability of the Undying Race would definitely be no problem.

"No, no matter what you want me to do, I will do it…"

Marquises Moses’s mental state was on the brink of collapse.

He weakly spoke, looking at Yi Chen with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.

In his mind, Yi Chen had become linked to the most terrifying demon.

"I really like straightforward people like you!"

Yi Chen’s smile was calm, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Unfortunately, all Marquises Moses saw was terror and trembling, feeling no warmth in his smile at all.

After burning for more than an hour, even though Yi Chen was studying the self-healing ability of the Undying Race, from Marquises Moses’s perspective, it was the greatest pain and torment of his life.

This torment not only drained most of the energy within him but also left an indelible shadow in his heart.
