Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.
An Tianzuo frowned and said, "From the looks of it, the blood-colored hand should be a creature like a scapegoat. It has an extremely filthy Yin attribute. It's very difficult for ordinary powers to injure it. Only the power of extreme Yang can do so."
"Unfortunately, Miss Jing didn't come. Her Essence Energy Art is the nemesis of these filthy Yin things," An Sheng said with a sigh.
"Although I had long expected that we might encounter such a thing, the Yang Companion Beasts we prepared aren't enough to kill the scapegoat. If there's no other way, I'm afraid it's impossible for us to enter the river to find the Three Lives Stone," Lu Bushun said gloomily.
"Commander Jia, can I trouble you to lure the blood hand out again? Let me give it a try," Zhou Wen said to Jia Nong.
"Of course." What Zhou Wen and Li Xuan had done was enough to make Jia Nong and company respect them. Therefore, Jia Nong didn't think too much about it. She immediately sought An Tianzuo's permission and went down the river again.
Perhaps it was angered by the previous attack, the moment Jia Nong entered the river, the blood-colored hand rushed out unexpectedly.
As it was too sudden, An Sheng didn't have the time to warn her. Just as everyone was alarmed, they suddenly saw a golden light flash.
Before the blood-colored hand could grab Jia Nong, the golden light pierced through it.
A small golden monkey appeared behind the blood-red hand. It opened its mouth and sucked, and the blood-red mist that formed the blood-red hand was sucked into the monkey's mouth like red milk tea. The blood-red hand was unable to resist at all.
The remaining portion of the blood-colored hand wanted to escape back into the River of Forgetfulness, but it was already too late.
Two of the earrings on the monkey's ears shattered one after another as it transformed into a dark-gold behemoth. Golden light radiated from its body, and wherever the golden light went, it dispersed the yellow fog above the River of Forgetfulness, revealing a huge blood-colored ghost shadow below.
The blood-colored ghost shadow looked neither human nor ghost. It hid in the river, and one of its palms had already been severed.
Truth Listener roared and charged above the blood-colored ghost that was fleeing in fear. It opened its mouth and swallowed the blood-colored ghost like it was eating jelly.
That's … the Companion Beast that fought Di Tian … Human Emperor … Could Zhou Wen be Human Emperor … When An Jingyu saw Truth Listener transform, he suddenly jolted as he thought of something unbelievable. He widened his eyes and couldn't help but look at Zhou Wen, who was standing by the River of Forgetfulness.
It wasn't just An Jingyu. Anyone who had seen Truth Listener's battle with Di Tian recognized its appearance. After all, Truth Listener's appearance and battle back then were too shocking.
It was a terrifying existence that could fight a Calamity-grade. Even five years later, no human had heard of such a Companion Beast.
"No wonder, so that's how it is. No wonder even the instruments of torture in the Yellow City Spring had to listen to Young Master Wen's orders. So Young Master Wen is His Majesty … I really didn't expect …" Lu Bushun said happily.
The way everyone looked at Zhou Wen changed. If they were only respectful before, now, their eyes seemed to have the word "worship" written on them.
Being able to fight alongside the Human Sovereign gave them a sense of glory.
"Adjutant An … Is Young Master Wen really … that lord?" Lu Bushun was somewhat unsure as he whispered to An Sheng.
"If you think so, then so be it. If you don't think so, then so be it," An Sheng said ambiguously.
Lu Bushun was somewhat depressed as his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. As for Truth Listener, it had already displayed its might on the River of Forgetfulness.
Truth Listener charged into the River of Forgetfulness. Wherever it passed, the yellow smoke would be melted by the golden light on its body, revealing one scapegoat after another.
However, Truth Listener had an extremely strong restraining effect on dimensional creatures like scapegoats. As long as the scapegoats approached it, they would be immediately devoured. It was like a fiendcelestial.
The scapegoats that were originally terrifying now gave people a weak and pitiful feeling.
After charging for a while, Truth Listener suddenly realized that there was a strange stone standing by the river where the smoke had dissipated.
The stone was thirty feet tall and stood alone very close to the river bank. However, it was different from ordinary river rocks. The stone was red in color, and its shape resembled a baby in swaddling clothes. There was even a faint red glow emitting from the stone.
Previously, it had been obscured by the yellow smoke and scapegoats in the river, making it impossible to see its existence. Now that it was right in front of them, they immediately felt that it was extraordinary.
"Is that the Stone of Three Lives?" Li Xuan asked as he sized up the strange stone.
No one could answer him. No one had seen the legendary Stone of Three Lives, so they naturally couldn't tell if it was real or fake.
"Overseer, let me give it a try," Jia Nong asked An Tianzuo.
An Tianzuo nodded slightly before Jia Nong flew towards the stone.
With Truth Listener there, the surrounding yellow smoke and scapegoats didn't dare approach. Jia Nong successfully arrived in front of the strange stone and revealed his fingers that were flickering with gray smoke. He swiped at the Stone of Three Lives.
The white-haired granny said that as long as one could leave their name on the Stone of Three Lives, they wouldn't be affected by the River of Forgetfulness Soup.
However, Jia Nong's finger failed to leave any marks on the strange stone.
Jia Nong gathered his strength again. This time, he used all his strength. The gray smoke converged into a sharp blade and slashed at the strange stone. The stone remained undamaged without a single mark.
"Let me give it a try." An Jingyu wanted to use his power of time to leave a mark on the strange stone.
He tapped the stone with his finger. Although it was only one finger, there seemed to be countless fingers pointing at the same spot.
This move of his was called Water Droplet Pierces Stone. It used the power of time to turn a finger attack into a continuous attack. With An Jingyu's current ability, after this finger attack, he had actually repeated the same finger attack more than 300 times.
However, the Stone of Three Lives remained unmoved despite such a continuous attack. There wasn't even a mark on it. He couldn't even find a fingerprint.
Although the Stone of Three Lives had been found, being unable to leave a name on it was no different from not being able to find it.
Everyone couldn't help but look at An Tianzuo and Zhou Wen. They suspected that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign, so they had more respect for him. When they encountered something, they couldn't help but think of him.
However, Zhou Wen and An Tianzuo had no intention of giving it a try. Instead, An Tianzuo walked back and arrived in front of the Bridge of Helplessness. He asked the white-haired granny, "Elder, how can I leave my name on the Stone of Three Lives?"
The white-haired granny said coldly, "The Stone of Three Lives. It's the Stone of Three Lives. Naturally, one has to have a past life to leave their name on it. People without a past life naturally can't leave their names on it."
