The Ancient Life Tree's Evolution!

"May the Divine Lord be mighty!"

The Yuan Household disciples were at a loss for words and could only kneel down and shout again.

Subduing the enemy without fighting—that is the true mark of a strongman!

However, just as Su Zhan was playing with the Blood Bodhi in his hand, a certain being in his Sea of Consciousness was already going crazy with craving for it.

[Ancient Life Tree]: (Sound of drooling) Waaaaah... Boss! That's mine! That's mine! I can smell it! It's the power of our shared origin! If I eat it, I can grow up! I can bloom!

[The Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon]: Pshaw, this thing is very nourishing, but it's too full of Sha Qi. Only a piece of rotten wood like you who doesn't know what to eat would consider it a treasure.

[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: It should be good roasted, with some cumin sprinkled on top.

[Ancient Life Tree]: (Screaming) No roasting! Boss! Please! Give it to me! I can conjure up lots and lots of leaves for you! I can be your crutch! I can... I can dance for you!

Su Zhan's head was throbbing from the noise.

He looked at the priceless Blood Bodhi in his hand, and a slight thought crossed his mind.

Although this thing is precious, his physical body has already been tempered by both lightning and earth, making it incredibly strong. Simply consuming this fruit will not provide much improvement.

On the contrary, this [Ancient Life Tree], as one of his natal Cultivation Method, has always been in its sapling stage. Apart from purification and simple healing, it has not shown much combat power.

If it could evolve...

"Alright, stop crying, here you go."

With a thought, Su Zhan threw the Blood Bodhi into his Sea of Consciousness.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as the Blood Bodhi appeared, the [Ancient Life Tree] sapling, which was only half a person tall, suddenly grew like a wolf that hadn't eaten for three days seeing meat. Countless roots instantly expanded, tightly binding the fruit and dragging it directly into the tree trunk.

"Buzz--!"

An intensely rich, emerald-green light erupted instantly within Su Zhan's Sea of Consciousness.

This light not only contains vibrant life, but also carries a hint of decay and death originating from the Blood Bodhi.

That is the Reincarnation of Life Element, the alternation of flourishing and decay.

The originally golden-green trunk began to grow taller, and the branches and leaves grew wildly. One leaf, two leaves, three leaves... In the blink of an eye, the [Ancient Life Tree] grew from a seedling into a towering tree, its canopy covering a corner of the Sea of Consciousness, facing the [Thunder Emperor Divine Seat] that floated in the center.

At the very top of the tree canopy, the ninth leaf slowly unfurled.

This leaf is different from others.

Half of it is a vibrant, lush green, while the other half is a withered, sallow yellow. Two completely opposite forces flow through the veins of the leaf, forming a perfect balance.

The Withering and Flourishing Principle!

Outside world.

Su Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light, half green and half yellow, flashed and disappeared deep in his pupils.

He raised his right hand and looked at a charred Tree Branch that had been dead for many years by the roadside.

"Born."

He uttered a single word.

The charred, withered branch suddenly sprouted tender buds, unfurled green leaves, and even blossomed into a pure white flower, right before everyone's eyes, as if time had turned back.

The Yuan Household family members were dumbfounded; this was simply a miraculous resurrection technique!

Su Zhan turned his finger again, pointing to the small flower that had just bloomed.

"Die."

Without any warning, the delicate little flower withered instantly, its petals falling and turning to ash. Even the Tree Branch that had just revived lost all its moisture in an instant, disintegrating into a pile of black powder.

Control of life and death, rise and fall in a single thought.

This is the new ability that the [Ancient Life Tree] gains after its evolution!

Although it currently only works on inanimate objects or creatures with cultivation levels far lower than his own, this is undoubtedly a qualitative leap. This means that Su Zhan now has an extremely domineering method when facing enemies with tenacious Life Element —directly stripping them of their life force!

"Good."

Su Zhan clenched his fist in satisfaction.

This trip to the Blood Mist Forest not only resolved the Black Demon Sect's ambush and subdued the Yuan Household, but also greatly improved both of their Cultivation Method, making it a resounding victory.
