Bodhi Heart

"Let's get ready to set off too," Xun'er said softly. "When we're going to brave the Beast Tide later, be careful. Even if everyone here gathers together, less than one-tenth of them will be able to get through. Hun Yu is aware of this. He just wants to use the strength of these people to go as deep into the Beast Tide as possible. When the time comes, they will be able to break through on their own, while most of the others will become food for the ferocious beasts. These people still underestimate the Barren Ancient Domain."

At this moment, the crowd in the square also began to move, and figures soared into the sky, eventually forming a dense mass like a large dark cloud, suspended in mid-air.

"Everyone, let's go!"

In the sky, Hun Yu glanced at Xiao Yuan and the others without leaving a trace, then looked at the sparse figures in the square below. He paid them no further attention, let out a loud laugh, and took the lead in flying towards the northern horizon. Behind him, a large, dark mass of people followed quickly, creating a rumbling sound as they broke through the air.

"Don't rush, let's set off after they leave."

Seeing that the main group was starting to move, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, stopping the crowd from following.

"Brother Xiao, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Qingyang cupped his hands in greeting and asked curiously.

"It's just Beast Tide. I'll tear through the void and take you across."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said calmly.

Watching the dark mass of people gradually disappear into the distance, Xiao Yuan calmly stood up. He then waved his sleeve, tearing open a Space Rift, within which silver Space Power surged and roared.

"Don't move around. If you fall out of my protection range, you might be teleported to some weird place."

After Xiao Yuan gave a reminder, his soul power surged out, enveloping everyone, and then led them into the torn Space Rift.

Even the most outstanding members of the Ancient Clan within the silver Space Channel wore solemn expressions.

In their eyes, Xiao Yuan's ability to construct Space Channel was already comparable to that of an elder at the Dou Sheng level!

As for the elders of the Flower Sect, they had already witnessed Xiao Yuan's move, so they weren't too surprised. They had become somewhat numb to Xiao Yuan's strength.

"Oh, right, you can also catch a show while you're at it."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yuan smiled at everyone. Then, the silver Space Power on one side of the Space Channel thinned out, eventually becoming almost translucent. Through the now translucent Space Channel, everyone could clearly see:

On the endless plains, dark clouds filled the air, and on the ground, countless enormous ferocious beasts filled the eye, densely packed like a blood-red ocean, stretching to the horizon, their violent roars and howls echoing like thunder throughout the land. "So this is the Beast Tide of the Barren Ancient Domain? It is indeed terrifying."

A breath of cold air was exhaled, and the elders of the Flower Sect couldn't help but mutter, no wonder that Miss Xun'er said that even so many powerful people gathered together couldn't break through. It turns out that compared with the Beast Tide, they were just a drop in the ocean. At the same time, Hun Yu and his group were now at the forefront, leading the charge against the Beast Tide.

"Is this guy really that kind?"

Xiao Yuan sneered at Hun Yu's performance. He knew the Soul Hall all too well. Could someone from such a place be so selfless as to take on the most dangerous mission? It was a complete joke!

Watching the massive charge against the Beast Tide with cold indifference, Xiao Yuan remained completely unmoved.

They're all irrelevant people anyway, so what if they die? It's none of his business.

Yun Yun, however, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene. She couldn't help but walk around to the other side and hug Xiao Yuan's arm.

Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian had seen many such scenes of slaughter before, so they were not uncomfortable. However, after watching for a while, they got a little tired of it. Seeing Yun Yun's appearance, they followed suit and leaned towards Xiao Yuan.

Everyone pretended not to see what was happening.

Thus, the main force outside advanced rapidly as the earth trembled. Blood and the corpses of ferocious beasts filled the land they passed through, but the scarlet blood did not frighten the Beast Tide. Instead, the beasts charged into the ranks with increasing frenzy and fearlessness.

This rapid advance continued for about two thousand feet before it finally slowed down noticeably. Some of the ferocious beasts were now able to rush to the front of the group and engage in combat with some of the stronger individuals. Although these beasts would soon be blasted into bloody pulp by the combined efforts of the many strong individuals, the situation was clearly beginning to become more difficult.

If one could look down upon this plain from the sky at this moment, one would clearly see that more and more ferocious beasts were swarming around the group, densely packed like ants, a sight that would make one's scalp tingle. "Boom!"

As the situation grew increasingly difficult, to the point where even the combined attacks of numerous powerful individuals couldn't quickly kill some of the ferocious beasts, a brutal melee finally began. When Hun Yu and the others at the forefront engaged the Beast Tide in close combat, everyone in the group clearly felt their speed immediately halt. And in that moment of stagnation, the ferocious beasts from the left, right, and rear rapidly closed in, and then, a brutal battle suddenly erupted! "Roar!"

"Bang!"

Various ferocious beasts, their eyes bloodshot, charged madly towards the group. Although most of the beasts were killed by the combined efforts of some powerful individuals, some exceptionally strong beasts managed to break into the group. As a result, casualties began to appear in the group, and shrill screams echoed continuously from all directions.

"Run!"

Faced with such immense pressure, most people turned pale and hurriedly pushed the entire team forward. By this time, Hun Yu and the Hall of Souls Experts had all disappeared. The front of the team consisted of groups of powerful individuals being pushed forward by the teams behind them. They could not retreat and could only charge forward. Facing the hordes of ferocious beasts ahead, they could only desperately unleash their attacks. However, after each beast they killed, they would be exhausted by the endless Beast Tide Beast Tide. When they finally wanted to retreat, they suddenly realized that many of them were blinded by rage and were pushing forward with all their might, so they had no chance to retreat.

With no chance to retreat and their Dou Qi exhausted, before they could even despair, they were viciously bitten by the ferocious beasts that pounced on them. After these people were devoured by the beasts, another group of people were forced forward by the advance of the procession. Thus, a cyclical charge began to operate in this frenzied situation. At this point, the procession no longer needed anyone to push it; everyone was rushing forward to survive. As a result, a continuous stream of people were pushed to the front, becoming cannon fodder in the advance.

Looking at the rapidly shrinking group, Gu Qingyang and the elders of the Flower Sect also had solemn expressions. If it weren't for Xiao Yuan leading them to take a shortcut, they would probably have been caught up in the group and might have been tricked by Hun Yu! At this moment, Hun Yu and his group had silently appeared at the back of the group. Hun Yu's face still had a warm smile on it, but under the stain of the thick scarlet blood and corpses around him, the smile looked particularly sinister.

"How pathetic, but it's okay, I'll make them stay with you."

Xiao Yuan said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Soul Clone with the strength of the Heaven Realm Great Perfection was condensed and tore through space, quietly appearing behind Hun Yu and the others.

Soul Handprint! Soul Clone at the level of Two Star Dou Sheng can easily deal with several Dou Zun.

Although Hun Yu was aware of this, it was nothing short of a pipe dream to retaliate under the blockade of Dou Sheng Expert.

With a single Soul Handprint, Hun Yu and his dozen or so companions were all instantly shattered, their souls torn to shreds by the ferocious beast.

After dealing with Hun Yu and his group, the Soul Clone tore through space and rushed back into Xiao Yuan's body.

"Alright, let's forget about those unlucky guys. Whether they can make it out or not is up to fate. Let's go!"

With a thought, Xiao Yuan thickened the Space Channel, and the speed increased dramatically, carrying everyone towards the end of the Beast Tide.

Sizzle!

Suddenly, space was torn apart in the sky, and Xiao Yuan and his group rushed out from it.

As soon as everyone came out, they each realized that there were no traces of ferocious beasts here, nor did they sense any danger.

Soon, they all saw that, about several thousand feet away, an ancient tree with an extremely large canopy stood alone on this vast plain. A pure aura wafted above the ancient tree, sometimes changing into various shapes, appearing magical and unpredictable.

"Is this the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

Gazing at the ancient tree that exuded an ancient aura, standing tall between heaven and earth, Xiao Yuan's heart pounded violently.

"Bodhi Ancient Tree?!"

While Xiao Yuan was stunned by the enormous ancient tree in that distant place, Xun'er and the others also noticed it. Immediately, exclamations of surprise, tinged with shock, came from their mouths. This kind of legendary thing was something they had never seen before, even as Ancient Race. They could only occasionally see it in some ancient books.

"What a big tree!"

Xiao Yi Xian murmured, even though they were far away from the Bodhi Ancient Tree Bodhi Ancient Tree, they could still feel its immense size. Its shade spread out all over the sky, like an ancient sacred object standing between heaven and earth, exuding antiquity and vicissitudes.

"Let's go take a look."

Suppressing his burning desire, Xiao Yuan waved his hand and charged towards the ancient tree in the distance. Behind him, Xun'er and the others, without even taking a break, hurriedly followed.

Xiao Yuan and his group moved extremely fast, covering a distance of several thousand feet in just a few minutes.

When Xiao Yuan and the others arrived several hundred feet away from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, their soul power issued a warning, and Xiao Yuan quickly signaled everyone to stop.

"What's wrong?"

The group, led by Xiao Yuan, were all puzzled when they saw Xiao Yuan signal to stop.

Xiao Yuan did not answer, but silently looked at the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Viewing the Bodhi Ancient Tree up close is undoubtedly another breathtaking sight. Its massive trunk, thousands of feet long, is like a pillar connecting heaven and earth. Ancient aura permeates its trunk, Bodhi Ancient Tree canopy is so vast that it can cover half of a city. Extremely rich and pure energy emanates from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, rippling across the sky and causing various magical phenomena to appear in the sky from time to time.

The sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the ancient tree and giving it a translucent quality. A powerful life force, enough to shock Xiao Yuan and the others, permeated the air. Xiao Yuan's gaze was fixed on the enormous Bodhi Ancient Tree, whose pure energy gave him a sense of peace and tranquility. However, for some reason, he felt a vague unease.

This unease stems from his increasingly powerful soul. Xiao Yuan can vaguely sense any danger, but the unease he feels now is very subtle. If he doesn't sense it carefully, he really won't be able to detect it.

"The Bodhi Ancient Tree is a rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, easily ranking among the top three in the Dou Douqi Continent. It would be impossible to say that it poses no danger. Furthermore, if this ancient tree has truly lived for countless years, it should have developed its own intelligence long ago."

Xiao Yuan looked thoughtful. If this Bodhi Ancient Tree could also develop sentience and cultivate, it would undoubtedly be one of the most terrifying creatures on the Douqi Continent. The people here would probably not even be a match for it.

"Something's wrong with this ancient tree, everyone be careful."

After giving a reminder, Xiao Yuan slowly flew over.

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert and slowly followed.

Soon, the group arrived under the enormous shade of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Xiao Yuan's gaze was fixed on the massive Bodhi Ancient Tree. About a hundred feet away from the trunk, there was a bright radiance. This radiance was like a huge energy heart, about ten feet in size, faintly emitting a powerful pulsating sound.

"Bodhi Heart!"

All eyes converged on the radiance hidden within the massive tree trunk, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"Splash!"

When the words "Bodhi Heart" came from Xiao Yuan's mouth, the Bodhi Ancient Tree that stood quietly on this grassland suddenly emitted a faint rustling sound. Immediately, everyone saw that the dense branches, intertwined together, hung down from the shade of the tree. When these branches touched the ground, they slowly split open, and five figures stepped out slowly from them with expressionless faces.

As these five figures stepped out, the space between heaven and earth rippled violently, and a terrifying pressure suddenly spread out!

"Half-Saint level expert"
