The thick, towering Dragonblood Tree was taller than any tree He Ping had ever seen before, like a large ship floating in the air. This Dragonblood Tree had already developed a demonic soul, making it a tree demon, a wood spirit. Its entire body was crimson, and its surface was covered with a hazy red light.
Within the trunk of this giant tree, there was an extremely deep crack. Yuanmu, whose face was embedded in the crack, coughed twice and continued, "Fellow Daoist, my sister is naturally impulsive and has inadvertently offended you. If you release my junior sister, I am willing to act as a mediator. Of course, if you need anything, as long as my Mulberry Wood Palace can provide it, I will certainly not be stingy!"
Then, the face in the Dragonblood Tree added another sentence.
"I also heard from my junior sister that you, fellow Daoist, have been practicing the Sanyuan Devil Palace's great technique for many days. Today is the last day of the forty-nine days. Once you succeed, you will advance to the Dao... I, this old Daoist, have always loved to help others achieve their goals and am willing to protect you and prevent any ignorant villains from disturbing your important matter."
Amidst the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi, He Ping couldn't help but sneer a few times upon hearing this.
"So that's how it is. This person deliberately chose this time to come because he saw that I was at a 'critical juncture' in my cultivation, intending to take the opportunity to blackmail me."
Having seen through this, he felt nothing but contempt for the Yuanmu. The old Daoist knew he was about to master the great technique and that advancing to the Dao level was only a matter of time, so he dared not offend him too much. On the other hand, he was also resentful that his junior sister had been captured by him, so he lowered his stance slightly and used soft words to coerce him.
Upon hearing his words, He Ping immediately concluded that this person was a two-faced scoundrel and didn't bother with him.
Yuanmu rambled on and on, wasting half an hour, but to his dismay, not a single word came from the island shrouded in Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi. He was immediately annoyed.
"This fellow is utterly ungrateful! I've done all I could; does he think he can fool me because Mulberry Wood Palace has no one else to rely on?"
The crown of the Dragonblood Tree trembled, and countless branches immediately drooped down. Countless long and strong branches intertwined like a net, and emerald green crystal light shone like chains. With a loud bang, they crashed into the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi, bursting and scattering countless rays of light.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Countless drooping branches lashed at the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi, causing the condensed Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame to tremble.
Enraged, Yuanmu decided to harness the Dragonblood Tree and launch a forceful attack on the island.
On one hand, he was angry and felt he had lost face; on the other hand, he relied on the immense power of the Dragonblood Tree, a unique species found only in the Abyssal Realm, and believed that he could even break through the defenses of this Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi.
"This Dragonblood Tree is indeed extraordinary!"
He Ping was slightly surprised. Putting aside Yuanmu's methods, this Dragonblood Tree was indeed extraordinary, and his own Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame was somewhat suppressed.
"It is said to be a rare and exotic tree born from the Abyssal Realm, specifically rooted in dragon veins, absorbing the essence of the earth's dragon veins and the energy of the earth dragon. My Five Yin Profound Baleful Earthly Ultimate Demon Flame will be affected to some extent!"
He had already heard about the " Mulberry Wood Palace " from Chixinzi, and knew that Granny Sangling had an older brother, who was also her senior brother, named Yuanmu.
Yuanmu's cultivation level is considered extremely outstanding among the Rogue Cultivator overseas. There may be more Daoist masters overseas than in the Great You Realm, but they are not exactly commonplace. Most Rogue Cultivator compete on aspects such as the strength of their spiritual power, the power of their refined Law Technique, and the number of Law Artifact they possess.
Yuanmu in the Mulberry Wood Palace has cultivated diligently for many years, and his Law Power power is among the best of the overseas Rogue Cultivator. He cannot enter the Dao through Outer Dao Fa Xiu, his path is cut off, and his lifespan cannot be extended. However, he also has some strange Cultivation Method, which have their own wonders.
For example, the Azure Ancestor Profound Qi of the Mulberry Wood Palace, also known as the " Everlasting Ageless Spring Art," is Cultivation Method -explanatory from its name. If one cultivates it to its peak, it is impossible to increase one's lifespan, but it can reverse aging and preserve youth forever.
For Rogue Cultivator, even if they don't live past two hundred years old, they can extend their lifespan compared to ordinary people, living to over one hundred and twenty years old is not a problem. Moreover, they are free from illness and disaster, and their youth lasts forever; only at the moment of death will their bodies dissipate their cultivation...
Throughout history, many medical texts have also suggested that a person's true lifespan should not exceed two Jiazi (a unit of time in Chinese astrology), which can be considered the physical limit of human lifespan.
If the disciples of the Mulberry Wood Palace throughout the ages could fully comprehend the mysteries of the Azure Ancestor Profound Qi, they could reverse aging and maintain their youth forever. Such Cultivation Method was also very advantageous among Rogue Cultivator. Yuanmu also wanted to reach this realm as soon as possible. However, when he went into seclusion, he accidentally suffered a qi deviation, Qi Deviation, and developed various abnormal phenomena.
In order to survive, Yuanmu had no choice but to take a risky step, entrusting his soul and body to a Dragonblood Tree he had unexpectedly acquired. This Dragonblood Tree was a rare and exotic tree that could only be born in the Abyssal Realm and could become spiritually intelligent at the age of one hundred.
The Dragonblood Tree that Yuanmu obtained had already developed a demonic soul, making it a wood demon. In order to survive, he sacrificed himself and the Dragonblood Tree together, and his own primordial spirit essence merged with the Dragonblood Tree.
"In that case," He Ping's eyebrows rose involuntarily, thinking to himself, "It does bear some resemblance to the sword-forging technique of the Blackwater Reef Great Venerable Fortress, and having merged with the Dragonblood Tree that has given birth to a demonic soul, its lifespan has also been extended in a roundabout way..."
--It must be said that this Yuanmu was extremely lucky. The Dragonblood Tree was born with the ability to absorb the essence of the earth. He risked merging with it, and if he was not careful, the Dragonblood Tree would take away his soul and absorb it into the tree, destroying both his body and soul.
"This old Daoist priest is courting death. All this trouble stems from his insistence on sticking his neck out. I just killed the Dark Ice Old Demon and sealed him within the ' Ten Thousand Demons Alarm Throne,' but to complete this throne, it initially requires one hundred and eight demonic souls... I think this old Daoist priest is destined to be with me and should be included in my ' Ten Thousand Demons Alarm Throne '!"
Granny Sangling and the four Zangling, plotted against him. He Ping knew all about this, so how could he possibly let them go?
At that very moment, the three people who were suppressed within the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi all sensed that the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi was being fiercely attacked from the outside!
"It's my senior brother! It must be my elder brother Yuanmu!"
Granny Sangling sensed the commotion outside, and the Dragonblood Tree emitted familiar Law Power fluctuations. She immediately knew that her brother had arrived, and she became extremely excited.
She endured the bitter heat of the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi for many days, almost to the point of exhaustion, only managing to persevere until now thanks to her unwavering determination.
Has Yuanmu arrived?
On the other side, through their soul connection, Granny Sangling sensed Zangling Sangling's emotions and his heart stirred; a faint blood-red light flickered in his eyes.
"What a great opportunity! This is the perfect time to summon Elder Xiao Wubei, the ' Hundred-Armed Demon Child '!"
Having concealed himself for a long time, a wicked thought arose in his mind, and he immediately began to recite the strange secret incantation of the Mud Sect.
"Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Mind Samuh! Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Mind Samuh! Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Mind Samuh! Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Mind Samuh! Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Mind Samuh..."
Zangling chanted the incantation, Granny Sangling and Xie Shidi, the Yama Island, both screamed in agony. In an instant, half of their life essence was drained, and their souls were severely injured. The spiritual light surrounding their bodies could no longer withstand the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi outside. Their protective Law Artifact shattered, and the fiery evil demonic flames invaded, burning their bodies.
"I swore a solemn oath that I would never harm either of you while practicing this spell. However, when this secret spell is activated, it will draw half of your cultivation. If you are burned to death by the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi, then it has nothing to do with me!"
Zangling listened to the death screams of Granny Sangling and Xie Shidi, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
At the same time, hundreds of corrupt cultivators on Sword-Sharpening Island, the stronghold of the Head-Seizing Society, screamed in unison.
These Rogue Cultivator had bloodshot eyes, looking like they had gone mad. They had been placed under a restriction, and at this moment, as soon as Zangling activated the restriction, they were like puppets on strings. They successively uttered the phrase "Fire Buddha Cultivation One, Heart Sa Mu Mou," and all of them died violently, their souls scattered, and even their life essence was drained away by the Mud Sect's " Wedding Garment Art."
Fire Buddha practice oneness, mind Samu!
Fire Buddha practice oneness, mind Sasmu...
Fire Buddha practice oneness, mind Sasmu...
Even in the mind of Zangling, a grand voice gradually resounded, as if countless voices were chanting this divine incantation.
"Fire Buddha Cultivates Oneness, Mind Samu!"
Zangling clasped his hands together and slowly uttered the last sentence. The next second, a strange "hoarse" sound came from his throat, his eyes bulged, and his facial expression twisted.
"Elder Xiao... you... you lied to me!"
He let out a very low groan, and the ferocious expression on his face turned to despair. In an instant, a hand emerged from his throat, followed by more hands reaching out. The scene was extremely horrifying and cruel!
Thud! Thud!... With the sound of flesh tearing apart, Zangling's entire mouth and throat were ripped open, and his whole body was "blown" apart by countless pale hands that stretched out. A huge ball of flesh emerged from the shattered flesh and body parts, and then rapidly expanded.
boom!
The Gang Qi surged, and layers of dark fire clouds burst open.
A twisted, grotesque, gigantic ball of flesh, covered with countless arms and faces, appeared. The moment this bizarre ball appeared, hundreds of arms stretched out, tearing apart the entangling Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi with a single, powerful grab. The hundreds of faces, like tumors, also opened their gaping mouths, emitting roaring sounds.
" The Sanyuan Devil Palace! The Sanyuan Devil Palace has finally been born!"
"Excellent! This tremendous achievement has finally fallen into my hands, Xiao Wubei!"
A massive sound wave spread in all directions, and the moment the expert descended, an overwhelming aura pressed down upon them.
