Within Origin Wood Mountain.
An aged figure in green robes glanced beyond the mountain, then turned his gaze toward another "honored guest" within the cave abode.
Beneath the phantom of a vast ancient tree, an elegant young man in blue robes sat cross-legged with his eyes closed!
Countless green vines had burrowed into his internal organs, desperately drawing out the source vitality throughout his body. Yet behind him appeared the phantom of a majestic purple star!
The purple star was immense, like a sea anchored by Zhen Star!
A sovereign force capable of suppressing heaven, earth, and all laws radiated from it. No matter how demonic those green vines were, they could not pierce into the depths of his soul and devour his origin or Primordial Spirit.
The green-robed figure's expression grew contemplative at the sight.
He had fallen into a dilemma.
The protective immortal light around this Star Palace Emperor was simply too formidable. Unless he employed a secret art, he feared he would be unable to absorb all of the other man's essence, including his authority and origin.
But if he used that secret art, this Star Palace Emperor's Primordial Spirit might awaken. When that happened, it would be his end.
He knew this was very likely an enormous trap.
Yet to him, it was also a sliver of hope for one day setting foot upon the Dao realm of Hunyuan.
With Demonkind Dao secret arts, even if he devoured only a portion of an Emperor's origin, there would still be hope for the Demonkind Dao to reach perfect harmony and transform in the future.
Even if the Star Palace Emperor awakened later, with the Gloom God Lord's protection afterward, he would still be able to remain safe and sound.
