The Petrification Art was a bloodline talent that only the Mandala Snake King and its direct descendants could possess. It contained the Petrification Art. If the Origin Power and Soul Power of a person who had been hit by the Petrification Art were unable to resist the Petrification Power contained in the Petrification Art and were invaded by it, their entire body would be covered by layers of rocks from the outside to the inside. From their skin to their internal organs, their limbs and bones would turn into rocks layer by layer. Under the erosion of the Petrification Power, their entire body would eventually turn into a human-shaped rock.
Now that a disciple of the Chen Residence had been petrified, the datura snake king and its descendants must be hiding nearby. If they were to really fight, a Petrification Spell would be able to make these Chen Residence disciples lose their fighting strength and turn them into pieces of rigid snake-patterned stones. They would die without even needing the snakes to move.
At this moment, the Chen family's disciples were all in a panic. Two of their clansmen had been petrified. The datura snake king must be watching them in secret. The next one to turn into a stone might be one of them.
At such a critical moment, the only ones who could remain calm in the Chen family were the siblings, Chen Tao and Chen Lan, who had seen the world and had extraordinary courage.
As the young master of the Chen family, Chen Tao remained calm in times of crisis. He said," Brothers, don't be afraid. After the Mandala Snake King activates the Petrification Spell, it will have a certain period of weakness. Now that Chen Wu and Chen Ping have been hit by the Petrification Spell, it proves that the Snake King has already activated the Petrification Spell in its bloodline twice. Its body should be recovering from the previous weak period. It won't activate the Petrification Spell again in a short period of time. And as far as I know, Mandala needs to first activate her bloodline power when she uses the Petrification Spell. This also requires a certain amount of time and can't be done instantly. "Therefore, everyone doesn't have to worry too much. We won't be in danger for the time being.”
After hearing Chen Tao's explanation, the disciples of the Chen Residence were relieved. However, they still looked left and right, worried that they would be the next one to turn to stone.
Chu Nan also walked over and knocked on the snake-patterned stones on Chen Wu and Chen Ping's bodies with his finger. He carefully listened to the sound produced by the stones and placed his ear on their chests. He heard the sound of their hearts beating slowly and called everyone to the surroundings." Everyone, don't be sad. Chen Wu and Chen Ping are still alive. If they are dealt with in time, there should still be a chance of survival."”
"What did you say? They were hit by the datura snake king's petrification spell, but they actually didn't die?”? Many of the Chen family members present did not believe Chu Nan's words. After all, the two stiff bodies had already stopped breathing, yet Chu Nan actually said that they could come back to life.
"Everyone, calm down and listen to Brother Chu Nan.”Chen Lan knew that since Chu Nan said that the two of them could live, there must be a reason behind it.
" I've observed these two people carefully for a long time. From the extent of their petrification, they should only have petrified their skin. If I put my ears to their chests, I can still hear the beating of their hearts.”Chu Nan explained.
Upon hearing Chu Nan's words, these people also curiously tapped their fingers on Chen Wu and Chen Ping's skin that was covered by the snake-patterned rock. As expected, there was no sound of petrification when they tapped. Instead, there was only a crisp sound that sounded like an egg being knocked. This proved that only the surface of the skin had been petrified, and the insides of the human body had not been petrified for the time being. He could even hear the slow heartbeat of these two people.
"The true datura snake king has a rank three bloodline, equivalent to a human spirit grandmaster realm, and these two Chen brothers are only middle rank spirit masters, the difference in cultivation is very large, if the true datura snake king uses the petrification technique, these two would immediately turn into stone, not just petrified skin. Moreover, with the Mandala Snake King's brutal and swift character, it will soon petrify everyone in our tent and immediately devour us. If that's the case, why haven't the snakes attacked our camp yet?”Chu Nan said.
"If that's the case, Brother Chu Nan, what do you mean?"
Chen Tao seemed to see a glimmer of hope in Chu Nan.
"If my deduction is correct, the one who attacked Chen Wu and Chen Ping should only be the offspring of the Mandala Snake King. It only contains a trace of the Mandala Snake King's bloodline that can barely activate the Petrification Spell, and it's not the real Mandala Snake King. The Snake King's descendants were only at the second rank, and the petrification power of the Petrification Art was also extremely limited. When they attacked Chen Wu and Chen Ping, who were at the same level as them, they naturally did not have any advantage. Moreover, a soul master could also circulate essence force within their body to resist the erosion of the petrifying power. They could not be completely petrified all at once, which was why they had the current situation.”
Chu Nan patted the ants on Chen Wu and Chen Ping's body to death before continuing,"At this time, as long as we find and kill the datura snake Wang Zisi who cast the petrification spell, these two brothers might be able to survive. The offspring of the datura snake king should be nearby.”
"Hey, everyone, listen. There seems to be a sound coming from Chen Wu's body.”
Following Chen Lan's reminder, everyone placed their ears on Chen Wu and Chen Ping's body. They could always hear the crackling sound of rocks exploding in their bodies. Chu Nan's judgment was correct. It was obvious that Chen Wu and Chen Ping, who had been hit by the petrification spell, had already activated a battlefield in their bodies. The elemental energy and the petrification force were clashing against each other.
At this moment, the sound of the stone shattering became louder and louder. At first, one could only hear the sound by sticking their ears to Chen Wu and Chen Ping's bodies. However, now, standing beside them, one could hear the cracking sound of the stone surface on the stone's skin. Now, one could already feel the majestic blood qi emitted from their bodies and the thumping of their heartbeats.
Suddenly, with a cracking sound, a crack appeared on the serpentine surface covering his right elbow. Due to the constant collision between the petrification force and the Origin Energy in his body, traces of blood flowed out of the crack and dripped down.
Immediately after, the petrified skin on his right elbow, knee, neck, and ankle all split open, and drops of blood flowed all over the ground. However, one could feel that the bleeding was only caused by external injuries. The Qi and blood in his body were still vigorous and constantly recovering. What was surprising was that his Qi and blood were gradually rising.
After being hit by the Petrification Spell, their Vitality should have been exhausted and their bodies should have been very weak. However, why was the Vitality of Chen Wu and Chen Ping constantly increasing?
Gradually, their faces that were covered in serpentines began to crack. Blood also flowed out of their facial features. Then, their facial muscles began to squirm, and their facial expressions could be seen.
In the end, they only heard a cracking sound. They exerted force from their bodies, and all the petrification power in their bodies was forced out. Two bloody people with ragged clothes were already standing in front of them. Their Qi and blood were several times more vigorous than before they were affected by the petrification spell.
"What's going on?"
Even though Chen Wu and Chen Ping should have felt pain instinctively after breaking free from the Petrification Spell, the crowd could not see any pain or despair on their ferocious blood-covered faces, especially in their spirited eyes. Instead, there was excitement and excitement.
"What's going on? What happened to you guys? Why didn't he say anything? Was there something wrong with his meridians and body?”At this moment, Chen Lan was curious and worried. She quickly ran over to ask what was going on.
"Lan 'er, don't get close. Chen Wu and Chen Ping are breaking through!”Chen Tao shouted.
"Ah!"
Chen Lan covered her mouth and stopped in her tracks. She was shocked. "Didn't Brother Chu Nan's top-grade medicinal pill yesterday help them advance from Stage Five Soul Master to Stage Six? Why was he breaking through again in just one night? Could it be that they were about to advance to Stage Seven Spirit Master?”
Chen Lan and the other disciples of the Chen Residence did not dare to get close. They stared at Chen Wu and Chen Ping without blinking.
In the cultivation of a Soul Master, it was a hurdle to advance from Stage Six to Stage Seven. Many Soul Masters were even stuck in this realm for decades or even their entire lives. If the Petrification Art could allow them to advance to Stage Seven, it would truly be a blessing in disguise.
Currently, Chen Wu and Chen Ping were covered in blood, but their blood essence continued to rise without any signs of stopping. The vast and pure essence energy in their meridians seemed to be inexhaustible as it continued to rise. Even Chen Tao, who had just broken through to the ninth stage Soul Master realm, might not be able to compare to the two brothers in terms of essence energy purity.
With a loud rumble, the two brothers 'originally tattered blood-colored clothes were torn apart. They stood there bare-chested. Then, the two of them circulated their essence force, and the essence force in their bodies transformed into a gust of wind that blew away the blood on their bodies. Then, on their backs, a pair of three-meter-long wings condensed from their elemental energy.
Wings formed from elemental energy! The symbol of a Stage Seven Soul Master!
Chu Nan was also puzzled at the beginning. He originally thought that even if the two brothers were able to force out the petrification energy, their meridians would be destroyed by the impact of the energy and the petrification energy, turning them into cripples. However, the two brothers before him not only did not have their meridians destroyed, but their Qi and blood had also been strengthened. The energy in their meridians had actually skyrocketed, and they were about to break through. However, Chu Nan could roughly deduce that these two brothers could break through consecutively. It was most likely because the quality of the pills he gave them was too high. He could not help but secretly click his tongue. The medicine refined by this dead silkworm was really stronger than the Great Strength Pill!
