Nine-Star Martial Venerables: Two Dead, One Injured

In this world, powerful primordial energy surged wildly.

There was complete chaos in front of the giant tree.

The senior experts from each faction used all their skills.

They used every trick in the book.

Various Essence Power raged.

Countless branches of the ancient tree were cut down.

Some branches are riddled with holes.

Victory seemed to be just one step away.

Seeing the formidable strength of these older, powerful figures.

The younger generation all felt a slight chill.

There are usually few opportunities to see the older generation take action, let alone see them use their full strength.

This scene moved even the most outstanding talents.

"As expected of someone who has cultivated for over a hundred years, their strength is astonishing!"

Zhuge Bai gave a thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, his uncle Zhuge Yi also suppressed his desire to compete for the position.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, Zhuge Bai has already retrieved the second half of the Star God Canon, making this a considerable gain.

There's no need to risk your life fighting for that Immortal Source Crystal.

He was only trying to protect Zhuge Bai.

Moreover, there are many strong individuals among them.

And they might not actually win.

Secondly, Chen Ning has made no move this time.

When everyone went to fight for it before, they were spared a disaster because they listened to Sect Leader Chen's words.

Now.

He would naturally have more faith in Sect Leader Chen's judgment.

On the other side.

Those older, powerful figures are getting closer and closer to the Immortal Source Crystal.

The one closest to them was the Martial Venerable of the Asura Divine Sect, whose figure moved like a ghost, skillfully avoiding the branches.

However, at that moment...

Mutation and regeneration.

A sinister laugh rang out.

The towering ancient tree began to tremble violently.

Above the tree canopy.

Countless leaves, imbued with a sense of vastness, shot through the air.

Those leaves were like sharp, concealed weapons.

If branches are merely a means of control, then leaves are a sharp means of attack.

Puff!

The shoulder of one of the Nine-Star Martial Venerable of the Asura Divine Sect was pierced by a leaf.

His expression changed drastically.

Next.

Those are the limbs.

Body.

They were all pierced by the leaf one after another.

At this moment, a Nine-Star Martial Venerable appeared as fragile as a piece of paper.

In that moment of panic, he held nothing back whatsoever.

They resorted to measures to save their lives.

Decisively sever a finger.

Then.

The figure vanished.

When it reappeared, it returned to the side of the Asura Divine Son.

I saw his miserable state.

Those who remained where they were were all taken aback.

This Pagoda Divine Tree truly lives up to its reputation as High Antiquity being.

The methods were indeed cunning and terrifying.

Even Nine-Star Martial Venerable was almost killed.

The experiences of other powerful elders were similar to his.

As those blades, no less formidable than sharp weapons, soared through the air...

They were all unable to resist.

The Nine-Star Martial Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult also gritted his teeth fiercely.

The power of wind and thunder flowed between his palms.

It ignited a wisp of flame.

"Three Thousand Thunderfire!"

"Monster! Die!"

He realized it at that moment.

If you only try to seize the Immortal Source Crystal, you'll only be falling into the ancient tree's trap.

I want to obtain the treasure.

The only solution is to remove this ancient tree.

Therefore.

He was willing to sacrifice his lifespan to activate this extremely powerful technique.

Three Thousand Thunderfire!

The flames released by frantically channeling the power of thunder.

He was determined to burn the ancient tree.

The fire instantly flared up.

Everyone was delighted.

They seem to have gone astray.

Everyone was focused on vying for the Divine Fruit and the Immortal Source Crystal, forgetting that they could obtain those treasures simply by killing the ancient tree.

At this moment, one sees the Nine-Star Martial Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult fighting for his life.

Everyone stared intently.

However.

The fire created by the Three Thousand Thunderfire did not burn down the ancient tree as expected.

Instead, it was the countless leaves that pierced through the flames.

They riddled the powerful members of the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult with bullets.

The body of the Martial Venerable was shattered.

He died on the spot.

That concludes the discussion.

The young and the old members of the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult who came to the secret realm this time all perished.

The entire team was wiped out.

It wasn't just the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult that was wiped out.

The gaunt old man from the War Academy was also surrounded.

The enormous swords and blades in the void were pierced one after another.

Countless branches climbed up and bound him tightly.

At this moment, he had become a sitting duck.

"Ah!"

The gaunt old man was pierced through by countless flying leaves in an instant.

"Not good! The terror of this Pagoda Divine Tree far exceeds our imagination; it can even ignore the lightning and fire!"

The gray-robed elder from the Yin-Yang Holy Land spoke in a trembling voice.

Even he felt a strong sense of fear at this moment.

That Pagoda Divine Tree was like a demon, constantly luring these cultivators into its gaping maw.

It's impossible to obtain the Immortal Source Crystal.

He now truly felt the immense power of this ancient tree.

These Nine-Star Martial Venerable are influential figures in the outside world.

But in the face of these living beings, they appear so small and ridiculous.

"Unless Heaven Martial Realm expert arrives in person, there is absolutely no way to break through the Pagoda Divine Tree."

The old man in gray made his conclusion.

And those veteran powerhouses who just charged in at the risk of their lives.

They were all in a terrible state at that moment.

Two Nine-Star Martial Venerable from the Asura Divine Sect survived only because one of them used a life-saving technique.

They have already lost their fighting ability.

The other one was more cautious.

Seeing that things were not going well, they immediately retreated, preserving their strength.

As for the gaunt old man from the War Academy and the powerful figure from the Wind and Thunder Divine Cult, they were both shot dead on the spot by the flying leaves.

At this time.

The time is ripe.

Chen Ning smiled calmly and took a few steps forward.

"Is he crazy? Does he want to steal the treasure?"

Upon seeing this scene, Ling Yang, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor, couldn't help but chuckle:

"Even two Nine-Star Martial Venerable died and one was injured. You don't really think that the Heavenly Lake Divine Son will speak up for you when facing that demonic tree, do you?"

"Oh?"

Chen Ning turned and glanced at Ling Yang, asking in surprise, "Who is this?"

Immediately.

He suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing, "So it's the young master of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor! I didn't recognize you at all, you just stood there and spoke to me like that."

Upon hearing this statement...

All the prodigies couldn't help but chuckle.

Ling Yang was even more furious.

That person's words were incredibly venomous.

I couldn't recognize him while he was standing and talking.

The humiliation of kneeling before him seemed to replay before my eyes.

Ling Yang gritted his teeth.

He stopped talking.

He doesn't believe it!

He didn't believe that even Nine-Star Martial Venerable couldn't get through such a place, how could he possibly manage it?

Let's see how those flying leaves pierce his skull in a moment!

Not only Ling Yang of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.

Now.

All the younger generation looked toward Chen Ning.

Is he really going to steal the treasure?

Even the proud Asura Divine Son would never dare to risk his life again.

But Chen Ning actually wants to steal the treasure?

The Pagoda Divine Tree seemed somewhat surprised, and its voice rang out. "Come, come, I've always cherished this little fellow, I'll lower the difficulty for you a bit more."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Then they saw the branch supporting the Immortal Source Crystal extend towards Chen Ning's direction.

It's much closer now.

Everyone watching felt that the difficulty had been lowered, but instead, they were all worried for Chen Ning.

This ancient tree is clearly toying with them.

Just as the gray-robed elder from the Yin-Yang Holy Land said, without the intervention of the Heaven Martial Realm expert, there is absolutely no chance of obtaining the treasure.

But the next moment...

The human face on the ancient tree suddenly changed its expression, becoming almost human.

Looking at the tiny Human Race before him.

His entire body was bathed in crimson-gold flames.

Like a god who commands fire.

This scene.

It sent a powerful tremor through everyone's hearts.
