The Void Furnace's Good Friend

Unlike Zhang Xuezhou's previous touch that involved his three souls and seven spirits, Zhang Xuezhou changed the venue this time.

Although his Yang Corporeal Soul body and his three souls and seven spirits are very similar, he is sitting on the throne of immortality this time.

If he used to rush around like a passerby, now he sits inside a tollbooth by the roadside, and the tree-shaped chair is a special vehicle on this road.

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and not only touched the chair made from part of the giant tree, but he also felt everything that had happened on the giant tree. Zhang Xuezhou also sensed various pulls.

"Your bond with this giant tree is truly deep!"

The immortality of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon originated from the seeds provided by the giant tree. Their staff was a branch of the giant tree, and even the Throne of Immortality was influenced by the giant tree. It seems that they absorbed the sap of the giant tree in the past, thus gaining various connections and abilities.

The unique ability of the dead souls here to devour and survive destruction is also inextricably linked to the giant tree.

These dead souls are like the giant tree that once captured many immortals, only the black stone pillars here are several versions inferior.

Seeing the tree chair's dimensional-traveling impact again in his memory, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the tree chair seemed to possess an extremely ancient life consciousness.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, on the other hand, are bound to this ancient consciousness and cannot break free; they must also carry it with them as they leapfrog dimensions.

Unfortunately, this leap was thwarted by beings from a higher dimension, resulting in failure and the fall of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

The current situation is one of dormancy and development.

Things seem to be getting complicated.

Zhang Xuezhou always believed that he was constantly fighting against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but among them there was a colossal being, even an unshakeable colossus.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon undoubtedly benefited from the many advantages brought by this giant tree, but were also firmly bound by it.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously thought that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon possessed exceptional talent, ranking among the top in their world in terms of both intellect and ability. However, after observing them once again, Zhang Xuezhou's perception was undoubtedly changed.

The opponent is very strong and powerful, but they rely too much on external forces.

Zhang Xuezhou thought about himself. He also liked to borrow external things, but Zhang Xuezhou never regarded any external thing as his own power.

For example, the Heavenly Robe brought him the convenience of flying, but Zhang Xuezhou only used the Heavenly Robe to assist in flying and did not regard the Heavenly Robe as his own ability. Even after losing the Heavenly Robe, he did not panic, but instead gained a stronger ability to fly.

Examples include the Purple-Gold Medicine Gourd, the Green Rock Staff, and the innate spiritual artifact wooden staff from Fangzhang Island. This even includes treasures such as storage bags and Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag.

Zhang Xuezhou relied on the convenience of the treasure, but he never depended on it, nor would he include the strength he could exert with the help of the treasure in his true abilities.

But the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon are different; they have too much help from the giant tree.

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon associated with giant trees possess one kind of strength, while Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon lacking the support of giant trees possess yet another kind of strength. In fact, without the help of giant trees, there is a high probability that they will not be able to reach the top.

If these external factors are removed, the true strength of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon needs to be calculated separately.

The opponent will be very strong, but they are definitely not as exceptionally talented as Zhang Xuezhou imagined, to the point of being despair-inducing.

It must be said that Zhang Xuezhou was indeed very frustrated after witnessing how the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon always had the upper hand in their battles against Huang. His counterattacks against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon were basically all underhanded and despicable methods.

After learning the truth, his confidence undoubtedly returned.

With both strategic thinking and personal ability at the same time, Zhang Xuezhou was certain that his chances of winning were definitely more than one percent.

Moreover, he discovered for the first time that his companions were actually capable of participating in this competition.

If the contest were to take place within this grand hall, anyone who could enter through the distortion could potentially become an ally of Zhang Xuezhou.

"How about it?"

Zhang Xuezhou sat on the throne of immortality for a long time before getting up.

Ren Anran, who had been keeping watch, couldn't help but ask questions quickly.

"I feel great," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Never before have I felt so completely cleared of the fog, no longer afraid of him, no longer confused about when the disaster will strike!"

"When will your confrontation with him take place?" Ren Anran asked.

"That depends on whether he can replace me," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If what I do makes him irreplaceable, he won't dare to lay a hand on me before he achieves his goal!"

"That's not wrong," the Demon Thought duck muttered, "But he just dumped the dirty and hard work on you. Don't think he can't do it himself!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the Demon Thought duck, then at the somewhat dazed Void Furnace, and then chuckled softly.

His understanding differed significantly from that of the Demon Thought Duck, and more importantly, the decisive battle was not entirely in the hands of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

If Zhang Xuezhou can seize the opportunity when the enemy enters this main hall, he can also launch an attack.

However, the contest between Zhang Xuezhou and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon also involved the ancient consciousness of the tree chair. Zhang Xuezhou was unsure of the consequences of success or failure, which made him cautious and careful, and he would not rashly engage in premature conflict with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

"Let's go, let's go!"

After clarifying the time elapsed that Ren Anran was involved in, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but urge Xu Lu, who was drowsy due to lack of physical strength and the blood being drawn, to hurry up.

"Let's go back and eat first!"

"Can you take control of this place?"

Xu Lu groggily got up, shook his head vigorously, and looked at the group of terrifying dead souls.

He asked Zhang Xuezhou a question, and Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

"I'm not sure. I'll have to come back and take a look next time. If I don't get it under control, we'll have to do it again," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That would be troublesome!"

Xu Lu muttered a dissatisfied remark, but he could only accept his own inability to explore further.

"You'll bring me here from now on," Xu Lu said.

"No problem," Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest and guaranteed, "I can bring you here whenever I have time. Maybe we can even find his immortal gem!"

"What a pity!"

Xu Lu lamented that he was currently too weak to investigate the surroundings, and his investigation of the main hall was also unsatisfactory.

"You actually managed to lift that staff?"

When Zhang Xuezhou picked up the long staff with ease, Xu Lu still had some doubts about life.

"Maybe you're just too hungry," Zhang Xuezhou emphasized.

"That's true!"

Xu Lu nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou was very modest, letting him try things first and allowing him to choose whatever he wanted. He was also willing to assist him in his search here, rescue him from trouble, and even provide conditions for him to cultivate Gene Sequence. Xu Lu felt that he had never had such a loyal friend as Zhang Xuezhou before.

He himself was too weak to lift the long staff, so he had no one to blame but himself.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou pick up the heavy staff, Xu Lu felt no jealousy.

He followed behind Zhang Xuezhou, squeezing out from the dense horde of dead souls, still somewhat shaken and sighing.

When Zhang Xuezhou leaped from the top of the black stone pillar into the distance, Ren Anran stepped on the air and walked, and Xu Lu shrank his body and also turned into flames to follow.
