Encountering Hei Chuanwu Again

Just as Zhang Xuanchen was feeling sentimental, a huge ancient tree directly in front of him suddenly opened its eyes, and dozens of vines stretched out from its canopy, watching Zhang Xuanchen and the others warily.

Immediately afterwards, a voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Outsiders, this is not a place for you to set foot."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage was so angry that he laughed. He took a step forward, pointing his Golden Cudgel at the giant tree in front of him.

He sneered, "Shouldn't you have stepped in?"

Who the hell do you think you are?

"Outsider, my foot! Are you talking about yourself, or the entire Ancient Forest?"

Are you out of your mind?!

This is the Xuanqiong Realm!

You're the outsiders, you idiots!

A mere Third Stage peak Wood Spirit Clan dares to block my path? You're courting death!

"If it weren't for you, how could so many demons have appeared in my Xuanqiong Realm?"

"You!" The giant tree was speechless after being cursed.

Little Flame approached the Great Sage, gave him a thumbs-up, and chuckled, "Great Sage, you're pretty good."

You have such a sharp tongue.

Zhang Xuanchen also felt refreshed. This guy's opening line about being an outsider was quite disgusting.

He stepped forward, looked at the giant tree before him, and said in a deep voice:

"Get out of my way, or die!"

Upon hearing this, the giant tree hesitated for a moment before retracting its vines.

It's just a gatekeeper; it only gets so many resources each month. There's no need to risk its life for it.

The vines were immediately retracted.

The eyes disappeared, and it stopped moving completely.

They were terrified of being beheaded.

Upon seeing this, Little Peach spat and said, "That's it?"

I thought you were so brave.

Zhang Xuanchen said, "Let's go."

Continue on your way; he's just a peak Third Stage opponent, not worth mentioning.

Let's delve deeper.

Let's find a race that holds some status in this Ancient Forest first.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

The group continued on their journey.

Along the way, we encountered many races that did not exist in the outside world, but their bloodlines were not particularly high.

Aside from that giant tree, I haven't encountered any other tree with the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuanchen frowned and fixed his gaze on a certain spot.

"There's Devil Qi here, let's go!"

Before Zhang Xuanchen finished speaking, he flew eastward.

Half a day later, the group arrived at a place where Devil Qi was abundant.

The trees here are withered, and the ground is cracked.

Black Devil Qi spread through the forest like smoke.

A dilapidated black mountain stands in the forest.

Zhang Xuanchen scanned the black mountain peak with his Divine Sense and said:

"Ten Devil Creature auras, one of which had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

You guys handle it.

"Haha, great!"

The Great Sage answered, took a step, and instantly appeared at Black Mountain.

He raised his hand and slapped down.

A giant golden hand descended from the sky!

A terrifying force instantly enveloped the entire black mountain peak.

Boom!

The outer layer of the Black Mountain barrier had just lit up when it was shattered by the giant golden hand!

Click!

The mountain split open from the middle, and ten Devil Creature rushed out from within.

"Roar!"

A giant, demonic bear, tens of feet tall, roared and pounced on Zhang Xuanchen, its arms burning with pitch-black Demonic Flames.

Zhang Xuanchen flicked his finger.

A golden Sword Qi pierced through the giant bear's head, pinning it to the ground in mid-air!

The Great Sage grinned, swung his Golden Staff, and slammed it into the ground.

The terrifying power transformed into a shockwave, instantly turning a Golden Core Peak Devil Creature into a bloody mist.

The Little Flame into a crimson Fire Dragon, its flames sweeping out and burning away the Devil Qi of Black Mountain.

The Azure Lion and the Hu Nuannuan also made their move at the same time.

A cyan lion shadow traversed the void, slaying an Early Fourth Stage Devil Creature.

As Hu Nuannuan unfurled her three fox tails, pink illusory light transformed into layers of illusions, trapping the remaining Devil Creature within.

Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand and waved his sword, the light piercing through the illusion.

In a short time, all the Devil Creature in Black Mountain were vanquished.

"Keep going."

Zhang Xuanchen did not linger and flew straight into the depths.

As you go deeper, the surrounding environment keeps changing.

The ancient trees, which were originally towering into the clouds, have become even thicker, their canopies intertwining and blocking out the sun.

Sunlight struggled to penetrate the layers of foliage, and a thin, bluish-green mist perpetually enveloped the forest, creating a dim and tranquil atmosphere.

But the Spiritual Qi here is becoming increasingly abundant.

There are no Spirit Vein within a radius of ten thousand miles, yet the concentration of Spiritual Qi is comparable to Spiritual Qi released by Third-grade Spirit Vein.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xuanchen and his companions did not take the initiative to attack, which may be why they were not attacked by the local creatures.

Huge, strange beasts were also perched on the ancient tree, watching Zhang Xuanchen and his companions warily, but showing no intention of attacking.

Perhaps it was out of fear of death, or perhaps they received some kind of instruction.

The specific reasons were unknown to Zhang Xuanchen and the others.

Little Peach spoke up, "Brother Chen, something's not right here."

Generally speaking, when we intrude into the territory of these Demon Beasts, even if they are weaker than us, we will fight them to the death.

These guys just watched, without making a move.

How strange.

Zhang Xuanchen nodded, "There was indeed a problem, but now it seems to be a good thing."

This Ancient Forest is no ordinary place.

It is estimated that we were noticed by some powerful being the moment we entered.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the Xuanjing in Zhang Xuanchen's sea of consciousness.

"Brother Chen, there are strong aftershocks of a battle 1,200 miles ahead."

Judging from the aura, it's Hei Chuanwu.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's gaze sharpened. "Hei Chuanwu, that ruthless man who absorbed the lives of three of his own kind?"

"Since we've met him here, he must die!"

This kind of madman is extremely dangerous; if he is not eliminated in time, he will surely become a major threat in the future.

Looking at the crowd behind him, he said, "There's something going on a thousand miles ahead."

Follow me.

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of dark light and sped off towards the direction where the battle had broken out.

Meanwhile, above a canyon in the Ancient Forest.

Seven cultivators clad in silver-white feather robes were engaged in a life-or-death struggle with two figures radiating overwhelming Devil Qi.

These Feather Clan cultivators were all at the Nascent Soul Realm, with the leading woman possessing the most formidable aura, having already reached the Nascent Soul Peak.

She wore silver armor, was tall and slender, held White-Gold Spear, and exuded a heroic air between her brows.

A pair of enormous wings unfolded from his back, engraved with countless golden runes, and with every move he made, he could draw upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

She was facing Hei Chuanwu, whose strength was approaching that of Spirit Transformation.

At this moment, Hei Chuanwu, dressed in a black robe, had a gloomy face, and his Devil Qi was surging wildly within him.

A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at the woman before him. He licked his blackened lips and grinned menacingly, "Heh heh, Yu Lan'er."

You've been following me for half a year, do you actually like me?

Hehehe.

If you like someone, just say so! A beauty like you is someone this demon adores.

You don't need to chase after him.
