Offer the Sword in Sacrifice; Supreme Monarch Soul Essence! / Purple Linden Divine Leaf, Purple Linden Fruit

Finally, under the five people's selfless charge, the five main trunks of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree were completely broken, blasted into dust, and perished here.

Chapter 503 Sword Sacrifice, Supreme Monarch Essence Soul!

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar emanated from the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree, carrying the sorrow, resentment, and unwillingness of its fall. It unleashed a terrifying sonic storm that swept in all directions, across the vast valleys reduced to scorched earth, across the towering peaks, and across the city of Yantai.

Everyone was deeply shaken, gazing into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, a fear gripping them as they thought, "Is that Demon God Tree about to die?!"

The battle between the Supreme Monarch just now caused waves of violent Tide to be felt in the nearby cities and even the entire province. People were terrified, thinking that it would be a long battle to defeat the evil tree and that the impact would spread to thousands of miles.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jun and his team finished the task in just one or two hours.

Mo Fan stood at the edge of the Kunlun Mountains, exhaled a long breath, and recalled the scene when he gazed at the sky earlier, which resembled a magnificent battle between gods and demons, and dreamed of returning to the ancient times when the gods cut down the Jianmu tree.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Is the gap really that big? We might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks of a battle."

The Supreme Monarch, the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, is dead, utterly fallen!

The five main pillars of heaven, which are related to the essence of life, were all destroyed. They were the work of Xuan She, Yan Shi, Lu Jun, Lu Mei, and Moon-Eared Phoenix. The process was difficult, as the plant Demon Beast were really too tenacious.

In this battle, Lu Jun's demonic energy surged, and he used almost all his strength. First, he used dozens of drops of Northern Darkness Heavy Water condensed from his Supernatural Power, the Northern Darkness Heavy Water Northern Darkness Qi Sea, to dissolve the main tree trunk's defenses. Then, he used the Profound Eye and the Imagination Pupil to deliver a powerful blow.

Finally, he drew the Tai'a Sword and unleashed its unparalleled sharpness, using a bit of the Metal Element's calamity-inducing properties to extinguish the life force.

Therefore, the first broken trunk of the Heavenly Crown Tree was the most damaged, resembling a horizontal, dark blue mountain range. Its surface was pitted and decayed, with several large, piercing holes. At its end, a smooth cross-section still retained a wisp of white-gold sharpness.

Lu Mei then activated the Heavenly Seed Fire, which is most effective against plants, and Tribulation Fire, leaving behind a section of pitch-black carbonized mountain. Dealing with the second main trunk was actually easier than dealing with her younger brother.

The remaining three main Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree were even easier to handle.

As Great Monarch, the Moon Moth Phoenix flapped its wings, and the serene moonlight fell from the sky, transforming into billions of moonbeams that shredded it into countless fragments. The Black Serpent transformed into a giant python of the Mortal World, coiling around the tree trunk, locking it in and eroding it, its massive jaws snapping it in two.

There's not much to say about the Yan Shi. Their chaotic energy, a fusion of earth, fire, and wind elements, swiftly and decisively obliterated the main tree trunk, pulverizing it into a thick layer of dust that covered the valley.

"Phew, finally killed him."

Lu Jun sensed the disappearance of the Life Aura of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, which was as vast as a small forest world, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The once beautiful forest valley, like a paradise, has been turned into a scorched wasteland, with broken trees and uprooted ruins everywhere. All kinds of chaotic magical energy are rampant, and a huge hole has been torn in the sky, with black elemental voids imprinted on the murky world.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Within the Kunlun Mountains, wisps of crimson light emanated from the massive remains of the Heavenly Crown Tree, forming a vast, converging blood mist.

Lu Jun raised his sword, Tai'a Sword Spirit trembled with joy, greedily absorbing this power, its surface covered with two layers of shimmering blood-red light.

One layer is attached to the old body of the one who killed the Harpy Medusa in the past, corresponding to the Sword Sacrifice effect of [Formal Monarch Level]. The newly condensed layer is the source of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree that was annihilated in the past, corresponding to the Sword Sacrifice effect of [Supreme Monarch Level].

Seeing this, Lu Jun's gaze deepened. The Plant Element Demon Beast lord possessed a variety of bizarre ways to save his life. He was certain that the death of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree was due to the effect of the Metal Element Tai Bai Xin Jin's [Sword Sacrifice].

Only by completely annihilating the powerful enemy can one forge the divine weapon!

Now, the Tai'a Sword's Sword Sacrifice effect has reached two levels, doubling its power amplification, bringing its normal power to three times. Multiplying this by the base power of the Divine Seal Praise and the White Tiger Totem, it equals 13.5 times the power.

This represents a significant improvement over the previous version.

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction, feeling a sense of dreamlike wonder. A Peerless Great Demon king, a Supreme Monarch, had died just like that, and the calamity it caused was far less than that caused by the Greek God of Death, Haila.

Well, this is the second Supreme Monarch to die at his hands, right?

He shook his head, put down his thoughts, and looked down at the ruins of the valley. After the baptism of the Tai'a Sword, a large part of the life force of the huge Heavenly Crown Tree remains had been drained, and all the grasses withered and all the trees dried up.

Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. The corpse of the Supreme Monarch was very valuable, but he really didn't know what to do with the majestic plant Demon Beast like the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree. The various fragmented root systems and trees were difficult to move, and it was hard to estimate their value if he sold them.

The current method of digestion is the best, and it can't be called a loss. The rest can be left in the Kunlun Mountains, allowing the people of YT City to explore it slowly, which can create a complete industrial chain.

Just as the Tai'a Sword absorbed the mysterious energy, the valley of ruins trembled once again.

Rumble!

This time, it was Lu Jun's White Tiger Pendant that drew upon the vast essence of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, instantly plunging the area into a dazzling spectacle. Thousands of strands of Azure Essence Soul rose, painting the sky a mysterious and gloomy blue.

The people of Yantai were in a daze, as if they had fallen into the underworld, where the mountains and fields were ablaze with a dark blue sea of fire.

Finally, the boundless azure essence condensed, and the phantom of a towering divine tree was reflected in the sky, as if the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree had been reborn.

But no matter how grand the scene, it is ultimately an inanimate object and cannot escape the White Tiger Pendant's devouring power.

With a buzzing sound, the platinum pendant worn by Lu Jun on his chest shone brightly and trembled violently, as if it were very excited, devouring a complete Supreme Monarch-level Spirit Essence in a world-shaking manner.

A moment later, the enormous, dark blue phantom of the ghostly wood could not resist the pull and quickly shrank, transforming into a small sapling that disappeared into the White Tiger Pendant.

In an instant, the White Tiger Pendant's radiance vanished, as if it had turned back into an inanimate object, its grayish appearance even more so than when Lu Jun first obtained it.

Lu Jun was not surprised but rather pleased, thinking to himself, "Is the White Tiger Pendant about to evolve?"

That's right, this is the complete Monarch Essence Soul, infinitely close to the Emperor Essence Soul. One Emperor Essence Soul could turn Mo Fan's Little Loach into a river and a sea, reaching the limit of Star Sea Magic Artifact.

The White Tiger Pendant's upgrade from Intermediate Level Nebula Magic Tool to a high-tier Star River Magic Tool was achieved by absorbing the remnants of the Ancient King Armor Robe.

Having now devoured the Monarch Essence Soul, it is absolutely sufficient for him to break through to the level of Super Rank [Star Sea Magic Artifact].

"Wonderful! My strength can be improved even further."

Lu Jun was overjoyed. His cultivation had been stuck at a bottleneck recently, and he had been finding it difficult to find opportunities to Super Rank. In addition, the cultivation speed of the Four Elements to the Super Rank was slow. Now he could continue to enjoy the effect of rapid growth.

He just didn't expect that the opportunity to upgrade the White Tiger Pendant wouldn't lie in finding clues about the White Tiger Totem.

Beside him, Yan Shi remained calm and said nothing, seeing that Lu Jun had taken the largest share of the profits.

The four main forces in this battle originated from the enemy, so it's understandable that they reaped most of the spoils. Moreover, she should thank Lu Jun for allowing her to fulfill her regrets before her death.

Chapter 504 Purple Linden Divine Leaf, Purple Linden Fruit

The Totem Mysterious Snake hissed in a low voice, showing little interest in the resources produced by these Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree.

It is Supreme Monarch itself, and devouring others won't increase its power much, especially since they are different attribute races.

The black serpent lazily stretched its majestic body, as if it had only come out for a battle as a form of exercise to loosen up its muscles.

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree is now dead, and it has no interest in staying in the outside world anymore.

With a deafening roar, the Skyscraper Serpent that had pierced the clouds disintegrated into a vast expanse of blue mist, which surged into the Totem Bead.

Lu Mei, needless to say, remained nonchalant; her brother's things were her things too, and the two were inseparable.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree has fallen, and the Moon Moth Phoenix floats in the void, like a bright jade plate shining high, its serene moonlight spreading across the earth.

At this moment, the Moon Moth Phoenix murmured softly, with a sense of relief and reluctance.

Seeing this, Yan Shi's face turned sorrowful. She understood something and slowly said, "Old friend, you're going to be reincarnated, aren't you?"

The Moon Moth Phoenix did not answer, but slowly descended to the center of the five broken trunks of the Heavenly Crown Tree, as if enveloped by the mountains.

In the center of the remains of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, countless purple-gold leaves fell and spontaneously piled up, forming a pool of leaves resembling a purple-gold nest.

"Purple Linden Divine Leaf".

Lu Jun Yan Shi two companions followed and discovered the purple-gold leaves, which were supple and translucent, radiating a warm glow. They Size Change of a person and could be used as a blanket. They recognized the object.

"A single piece of the finest Light Element material can be crafted into a high-level Light Element Magic Tool."

He exclaimed in amazement, "So many Purple Linden Divine Leaf piled up in a huge pool, we're going to make a fortune selling them!"

However, although Lu Jun was muttering to himself, he didn't make a move.

The Moon Moth Phoenix Totem is a type of light-attribute Demon Beast whose abilities manifest as serene moonlight.

Based on the Totem Mark on its body, it belongs to a higher-level totem, and that one is a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Sacred Beasts.

This aligns with the auspicious nature of the Vermilion Bird.

Therefore, the Moon Moth Phoenix feeds on the Purple Linden Divine Leaf and will Nirvana Rebirth in a very short time, restoring its strength to a certain level.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun saw the Moon Moth Phoenix, which had been dormant in the pool covered with purple linden leaves, undergo its rebirth. Its whole body shone with a soft radiance, and its body scattered into a sky full of fluorescent light.

The old shell dissipated, and a tiny blue cocoon floated within the purple-gold nest, slowly breathing as it drew power from the Purple Linden Divine Leaf in all directions, and even the immense Totem Power remaining from its previous life.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yan Shi felt a sense of calm for some reason.

Lu Jun examined the cocoon and sighed, "The Phoenix Clan's strongest talent is Nirvana. Now, the Moon Moth Phoenix's Nirvana ground is exceptionally favorable. It's possible that its rebirth and return will result in evolution."

This didn't happen in the original story because the Moon Moth Phoenix in the Original Timeline was more like someone about to die and forced to enter reincarnation. She hadn't accumulated any foundation, so naturally, she wouldn't have changed much after her rebirth compared to her previous life.

But things are different now; the Moon Moth Phoenix definitely has the potential to go even further.

After all, among the many totems that remain in the Nine Provinces, the Xuan Snake, Baxia, Sky Scar White Tiger, Sea Eagle, etc., are at least Supreme Monarch, making Moon Moth Phoenix seem out of place.

Is it possible that the Phoenix Clan itself must undergo constant rebirth to temper its bloodline?

Perhaps in the beginning, the Moon Moth Phoenix was just an ordinary moth, which then transformed into a moon moth and eventually became a phoenix.

Yan Shi said firmly, "I've decided to stay here and protect it. I'll send it to its final rest and await its rebirth."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun did not stop them; the other party had their own reasons.

But then Yan Shi changed the subject, looking at Lu Mei with a kind expression, and said, "Little Lu Mei, would you be willing to keep this old woman company in this lonely place for a while?"

Lu Mei was not a naive girl who didn't understand social etiquette; upon hearing this, her face lit up with joy.

This is the senior's intention to accept her as a disciple.

She also had many questions to ask, such as how the other person could blend earth, fire, and wind so perfectly, subtly creating some kind of transformation.

Yan Shi smiled kindly. She accepted Lu Mei as her disciple, and also intended for her daughter Jiang Feng to stay with her.

Over the years, Yan Shi felt guilty and felt indebted to her daughter, wanting to make amends and repay her benefactor.

Lu Jun had no objections; on the contrary, he was more than happy to accept it. It was always a good thing for Lu Mei to learn something, and besides, the Moon Moth Phoenix needed someone to protect her during her rebirth.

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree has fallen, and the Nine Provinces have nipped a major hidden danger in the bud.

There is no reason for me to stay in Yantai anymore.

As Lu Jun reluctantly bid farewell to her sister, Yan Shi suddenly said, "Oh, right, take this."

She handed over an eerie, purplish-red fruit, its surface shimmering with a crimson glow, its pulsating appearance resembling that of some living thing, or perhaps a heart.

"Purple Linden Fruit."

Yan Shi said, "This is a polymer of the Evil Power of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, mixed with the resentment of the countless lives it has devoured. You decide how to handle it; destruction is also acceptable."

Lu Jun took the fruit and sensed the vast curse energy contained within it; his expression shifted slightly.

He knew that Yan Shi had given it to him because he recognized Yan's identity as Super Rank Curse Element mage.

This is indeed a treasure for Curse Element mages, as it can be used to create some kind of precious Curse Substance, or directly refine Evil Power to advance to Super Rank.

Lu Jun sensed that this [Purple Linden Fruit] would allow him to upgrade his Curse Element Star Sea by one level.

However, Lu Jun didn't rush to refine it; instead, he put it away.

The Curse Element only recently broke through to the second level of the Super Rank, and its foundation is insufficient. It would be best to refine it when it is on the verge of breaking through.

Moreover, he remembered that the [Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree] and the [Oath Blessing Tree] were siblings, belonging to the same source of divine wood.

Unfortunately, one day a curse and the power of the mind descended from the sky, infusing them into their respective bodies, causing a violent transformation that led them down completely different paths.

The former degenerated into a demon over a thousand years, constantly devouring flesh and blood to enhance itself, while the latter resides in the Qinling Mountains, protecting a local tribe and having formed a pact with a certain totem.

One of the senior members of the Adjudication Court once went to the Qinling Mountains, obtained a branch, and replanted it after returning to the Adjudication Court. It grew into the Oath Tree.

That's right, it's the very foundation of the Adjudication Court's existence. Any member who swears an oath under the Oath Tree must never betray the Adjudication Court.

Therefore, the judges are very reliable.

"The Oath Tree, the Purple Linden Tree, curses and the soul, two sides of the same coin, yin and yang complementing each other."

Lu Jun seemed lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Perhaps something will happen when we get the fruit from the Oath Tree and put the two together."

He had a gut feeling that it contained a great opportunity related to Curse Element and Mind Element.

Interestingly, the elder who obtained the branch of the Oath Tree was none other than Yan Shi himself.

Her encounters with different divine trees resulted in drastically different fates, subtly reflecting the attributes of the two great divine trees.
