527: You beat the game that easily?

Everyone in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan wore expressions of disbelief. Su Chen was merely an Earth Immortal Realm Cultivator; how could he walk out of the Heart-Questioning Forest in such a short time?

Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals, or Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Cultivators, would need to spend some time, right?

Silence!

A deathly silence!

The scene before them exceeded their understanding and common sense. It was completely unexpected; how could such an outrageous thing happen?

Ye Lan, however, was quite composed. In her view, wasn't this perfectly normal?

One must know that during the Su Family Clan Competition, Su Chen displayed extremely terrifying strength. Passing the trials of their Fox Mountain should be effortlessly easy, without any pressure whatsoever.

As long as the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan agreed to let Su Chen participate in the trials, it basically meant success was guaranteed.

"How is this possible! No one has ever successfully walked out of the Heart-Questioning Forest so quickly during the Three Great Trials of my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. How exactly did he do it?"

"I remember 130,000 years ago, someone came to Fox Mountain to take the trials. That person was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, yet it took them nearly Half an Incense Stick's Time to Break through the Heart-Questioning Forest."

"Exactly, normally being trapped for half an hour is common. If one's mental fortitude is poor, it could take days, or even ten days to half a month. The fact that he walked out so quickly—doesn't this mean his Dao Heart is clear and flawless, completely unaffected by those Illusions?"

Exclamations rang out. Previously, everyone had been dismissive of Su Chen, looking down on him and believing it was impossible for him to emerge after entering the Heart-Questioning Forest.

But now, it seemed the situation had changed!

And it was a huge change!

Ten Breaths of Time was already the best result among all participants. Even the fastest recorded time previously lagged far behind Su Chen, showing a massive difference.

"Let's go. The next trial."

Su Chen slowly walked out with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked towards Bai Yulan, who was nearby, her face full of shock, her eyes wide with disbelief, and her mouth slightly agape.

"Y-you... how did you come out."

Bai Yulan finally couldn't help but ask. She had never seen anyone emerge so quickly. Even she, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in the Early Stage, couldn't exit the Heart-Questioning Forest in such a short period.

Su Chen said nonchalantly, "I just walked out like this."

The Heart-Questioning Forest was nothing more than Illusions that affected the mind. But who was Su Chen? How could such things have the slightest impact on him?

Seeing Su Chen's completely unconcerned expression, Bai Yulan was even more shocked.

Taking two deep breaths, she gave Su Chen a serious look, then flashed a charming smile: "Little brother is truly impressive. You've really opened this big sister's eyes."

Little brother?

Big sister?

Su Chen had witnessed Bai Yulan's Expression Changing Skill.

Bai Yulan spoke again, "Since you've passed the Heart-Questioning Forest, then follow me."

With that, she led the way, though Bai Yulan's eyes occasionally glanced at Su Chen, seeming to want to see through him.

Unfortunately.

She couldn't perceive anything unusual about Su Chen. Even his Realm and other aspects appeared exactly as they were displayed.

After walking for a short distance, at another spot at the foot of Fox Mountain, a completely cyan Puppet was coiled up. It was covered in moss and looked very ordinary; if one didn't look closely, it was indistinguishable from a rock.

Bai Yulan smiled faintly. "Little brother, this Thousand Armor Puppet is extremely powerful. Ye Lan is a Four-Tailed, so the Thousand Armor Puppet's strength is also the strongest. Tell me when you're ready, and I will awaken the Puppet."

She did not mention the Thousand Armor Puppet's specific strength.

Su Chen immediately said, "Begin."

Bai Yulan said no more. Although the Heart-Questioning Forest required some strength, the core requirement was one's Dao Heart and mental fortitude. If the Dao Heart was flawless, one could pass easily even if the Divine Soul was slightly weaker.

Perhaps Su Chen passed quickly simply because his Dao Heart was flawless.

But the Thousand Armor Puppet was different; it required true, hard strength.

Moreover, based on Ye Lan's situation, the Thousand Armor Puppet's strength was top-tier, basically reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Rank. Coupled with the special material used to refine the Thousand Armor Puppet, its overall strength could reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

Even for her to defeat it would be extremely difficult.

In this trial, Su Chen had absolutely no chance.

She raised her hand and waved, and the fluctuations emanating from the Thousand Armor Puppet began to continuously climb. Lights began to emanate from the originally lifeless shell, accompanied by faint rumbling sounds.

"The Thousand Armor Puppet relies on hard strength. Surely this kid can't defeat it?"

"This Thousand Armor Puppet is not just a trial, it's also our Fox Mountain's Ironclad Guard. At its Peak, it possesses the strength of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Since Ye Lan is a Four-Tailed, it must be at least Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level strength. I don't believe this kid can win."

"A mere Earth Immortal will probably be annihilated in the space of a breath."

Many people had just recovered from the shock of the Heart-Questioning Forest incident, and upon seeing Su Chen continue to challenge the Thousand Armor Puppet, confidence surged in their hearts once more.

It was absolutely impossible for him to win again!

"Boom!"

After the Thousand Armor Puppet was fully activated, it slowly stood up. Its tall body resembled a small mountain, inspiring awe.

Seeing this, Bai Yulan pursed her lips and chuckled. "Little brother, good luck."

This woman.

Su Chen glanced at her. Bai Yulan's personality truly exemplified the creature known as 'woman'; her expression changed too quickly.

"Roar!"

A muffled roar sounded. The Thousand Armor Puppet's eyes turned crimson, and it instantly vanished from its spot, moving at extreme speed.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Su Chen. Everyone felt as if they had already witnessed Su Chen's tragic death.

Su Chen slightly raised his eyes, looking indifferently at the Thousand Armor Puppet.

Spatial Fluctuations spread, and Invisible Blades were silently released, like deadly specters.

The Thousand Armor Puppet knew no fear, only attack. It had no intention of stopping, aiming solely to kill Su Chen.

However, a 'whooshing' sound of tearing air rang out, and its originally indestructible Physical Body seemed to be sliced open by some sharp object.

One slice, two slices—in just a brief moment, it was cut countless times, with every incision perfectly smooth.

"Bang!"

The Thousand Armor Puppet's Physical Body shattered into countless small pieces and fell to the ground. Due to the immense weight, the earth instantly sank. The Thousand Armor Puppet was completely lifeless, lying quietly on the ground.

At this moment.

On Fox Mountain, a pin drop could be heard. The sound of the wind was exceptionally clear, and even breathing could be felt...
