"The Demon Race has found a way. Next time, it may not be as simple as a few decades earlier …"
Yun Yang's eyes were extremely solemn.
In the Bound of Universe, everyone who was qualified to know about the Mystical Demon War had the same thought – as long as the Blood Soul Mountain was not broken, the Demon Race would not be able to cross over!
After so many years of accumulation, the human race already had a lot of Saint Lords!
To put it bluntly, the human race's ability was getting stronger and stronger, surpassing the combined combat power of the human race in the past.
Furthermore, due to the cruel laws of heaven and earth, the cultivators of the Bound of Universe had very little internal friction. Other than the middle and lower levels, where there would be killing amongst themselves, the higher level cultivators, especially those who were above the Saint Venerable rank, would almost never have any internal friction!
All the high-level cultivators were preparing with all their might, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle with the Demon Race.
However, most people thought that the decisive battle would never come. If the Demon Race came, they would only be seeking their own death!
Perhaps the Bound of Universe did not have the ability to completely annihilate the Demon Race, but the overall strength of the Demon Race was definitely inferior to the Bound of Universe's human race!
This was a fact that everyone believed.
This assumption was undoubtedly optimistic, even Yun Yang thought so.
However, Yun Yang now knew how ridiculous this optimism was!
Humans had never thought of counterattacking the Demon Realm and had greatly underestimated the Demon Race. The Demon Race, on the other hand, had wanted to invade the Bound of Universe and destroy the human race from the beginning. Humans had never thought of entering the Demon Realm through any channels, but the Demon Race had been planning this since tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Bypassing the Blood Soul Mountain and invading the Bound of Universe!
…
"With the warning from the Holy Land of Divine Punishment, the Demon Race's invasion of the human world is imminent and precarious!"
Yun Yang heaved a sigh, but a wave of helplessness soon followed.
He thought of the humans who had been captured by the Demon Race.
What would happen to these people down there?
If they knew that they had been used by the Demon Race … what would they do? If they knew that as long as they were alive, there would be an endless source of energy for the Demon Race to invade the Bound of Universe, what would they do?
The only solution now was to kill all the tens of thousands of humans below them! Then this base of the Demon Race would not be of use in a short period of time, at least for a few hundred years!
This was something that Yun Yang could do with his current ability. He could even do it easily.
However, how could Yun Yang do so?
This was an unsolvable problem.
Yun Yang had considered destroying the strange formation of the Demonic Race from here as well. This was the fundamental solution to the problem, but Yun Yang thought cautiously that with the Demonic Race's countless years of planning, as long as the formation was destroyed, the Demonic Race would know immediately as long as there was a certain degree of inflexibility in its operation. The group of people below would still face the same fate of losing their usefulness and death.
Putting himself in Yun Yang's shoes, if he were to set up the formation himself, this function would be absolutely essential!
Furthermore, the formation was not an ordinary one. Even with Yun Yang's current ability and his manifestation powers, he dared not guarantee that he could destroy the formation.
After all, it was a formation set up by countless experts. Among them, there were definitely Saint Monarchs!
With Yun Yang's current ability …
Previously, when Crane King had lured Yun Yang into the trap, Yun Yang's pretense of attacking and clawing did not hide much of his combat power. As for the door, it did not budge at all. Thinking back to Crane King's attitude when he left, anyone below the level of a Saint Monarch would probably sigh helplessly and be powerless against this area!
Alerting the enemy would not be a good thing.
"Forget it. Let's try from the edge of the formation first. "Yun Yang frowned, having made up his mind.
"If there's a flaw in the formation, these people might not necessarily die. If the Demonic Race wants to successfully breed so many humans, they'll need a lot of resources and effort. They might not be willing to sacrifice all these people. After all, after the formation is repaired, they'll still need these people to provide energy inside. If they go out and catch more people, who knows how long it'll take to reach the current scale."
Yun Yang looked at the strange trees in front of him, his deific consciousness already connected with Emmie. "Emmie, do you recognize these trees?"
Yun Yang was very confident. When it came to plants, no one in this world would know them better than Emmie!
Speaking of Emmie, after it had leveled up, it would patrol the space excitedly every day, even though its limping steps were still unsightly and looked a little comical.
Still, it was never tired of it.
To Emmie, this sense of bliss was incomparable.
Shockingly, the medicinal field beneath him that had already expanded to an extremely large area had a few million stalks of spirit herbs, and it was a magnificent sight that caused one to gasp in amazement.
Even if anyone in the universe were to see it, they would have to gasp in amazement.
Every time it thought of this, Emmie was satisfied!
All mine!
All of this is mine!
That was great!
How wonderful!
All of these can be turned into my energy of vitality!
Hahaha!
Hearing Yun Yang's summon and the implication of his words being related to spiritual herbs, Emmie was overjoyed and ran out at once.
"Ayaya?"
What's so good about it?
In spite of it, Emmie was slightly dumbfounded when it saw the tree, calling out in confusion.
It could feel the immense energy within …
But what was this?
"Ayaya!"
It then asked Yun Yang to pluck a twig for it to take a look.
Pluck a twig?
Yun Yang did not have the guts to make such a huge commotion, so he only plucked a few leaves and passed them over carefully.
Emmie accepted the leaves and squeezed out some of the sap within, crying out immediately, "Ayaya …"
"You're saying that this is … the Soul-Devouring Tree? Demon? "Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat as realization dawned upon him.
The name alone was enough to explain everything.
"The Soul-Devouring Tree absorbs all the energy of souls and deific senses around it, turning them into its own nutrients … The current situation is obviously being used by the demon race and bestowed with other abilities …"
"Through the unique formation, the Soul-Devouring Tree absorbs the source of the Celestial Luck Banner, the source of life, and the source of soul that seeped out when those people were cultivating … as well as the purest and most primitive air of vitality produced when a man and a woman have sex …"
Yun Yang said quietly in his heart, "So, I understand completely. Why did the demon race build such a place? Why do they keep these people for nothing? Their positions are obviously opposite and there is no room for negotiation, but they still don't give any restrictions and even allow these humans to thrive here … "
It turned out that this was their intention …
"The Soul Demon I met before … If it could have such a Soul-Devouring Tree to nourish it … I'm afraid it could break through the shackles …"
This piece of information sent by Emmie made Yun Yang's heart skip a beat.
The Soul Demon was strong enough now. If it went a step further … even a saint would not be able to keep it in check.
That fellow must not know about these trees!
"Emmie, take a good look at the formation above. Can it be destroyed?"
Yun Yang asked.
Emmie quietly stretched out a branch and, after a probe, waved the branch and cried out in Yun Yang's subconscious.
"It's very difficult to destroy. Once you try to destroy it, you will inevitably suffer a backlash … The power of the backlash above far exceeds your current cultivation base level. Even with the aid of various manifestation powers, it will be difficult to resist. "
Yun Yang frowned suddenly. "Then what should I do? Are we just going to wait for death?! "
Emmie waved its vines very contemptuously. "The formation is difficult to destroy, but it doesn't mean that these Soul-Devouring Tree Demons can't destroy it. There is no plant in this world that I can't clean up …"
Yun Yang was confused. "The Soul-Devouring Tree and the formation are closely connected, almost regarded as one. If the formation can't be destroyed, I'm afraid the Soul-Devouring Tree will be the same. Once it is targeted, it will trigger the formation's backlash!"
"Bah, since coming to the Bound of Universe, your brain has become more and more rigid. Where is the intelligence and wisdom of the past? Where is the wisdom of Supreme Wit? Even if the Soul-Devouring Tree is closely connected to the formation, its nature is still different. The tree is the tree, the formation is the formation … Where, where, it is there … The sprout on it … is the essence of the Soul-Devouring Tree, but it is also the most vulnerable place of the Soul-Devouring Tree … "
Yun Yang understood at once.
The main reason why this Soul-Devouring Tree had to add another barrier in that position was because … it could not be seen by others.
"Why don't you just say how to destroy it? Destroy the sprout? "
"There are many ways to achieve the effect of destruction. Are you really stupid?!" Emmie was very disdainful as it squeaked in disdain.
Such a tender sprout can be destroyed with just a breath, and you still have to ask me?
"I mean … how can I not be discovered by the demon race and achieve the effect of permanent destruction, the kind that can't be repaired?" Yun Yang smirked mischievously.
After finding the crux of the problem, his mood became extraordinarily relaxed, not feeling offended by a certain fellow's mockery.
Hmph, I'll let you be happy for now! But everything you're proud of, it's all mine!
It's all mine!
"Ayaya …"
Emmie wore a look that said 'I didn't expect you to be so bad, you're still the bad one'. Inexplicably, Yun Yang imagined a little girl squinting at him coquettishly, and it actually made him feel weak all over.
However, hearing Emmie's answer, Yun Yang was baffled. "Although the Soul-Devouring Tree is a demonic tree, it can't be contaminated by demonic energy. It can only absorb souls, the demonic energy is useless to it. If it enters the tree's core, it will even cause damage. To achieve permanent damage, demonic energy is needed. Once the demonic energy is used to cause damage, it's inevitable that it will be discovered. "
As Yun Yang pondered, many of his previous questions were answered. So this was the reason why the demons were not allowed to enter this place.
"Is there any other way not to be discovered?"
"If you want to be completely undiscovered, you can't do permanent damage. The Soul-Devouring Tree has an unusually vigorous vitality. As long as there's a hundred years, most of the damage can be healed. "
"A hundred years, huh …"
Yun Yang frowned and said decisively, "A hundred years … is enough!"
Destroying it for a hundred years would be enough for him to carry out the follow-up.
"As long as the air of death is channeled into the Soul-Devouring Tree's core, a certain degree of damage can be done. As the air of death enters the Soul-Devouring Tree's core, the Soul-Devouring Tree will look the same, but it won't absorb energy anymore … At least a hundred years later, when the Soul-Devouring Tree has completely assimilated the air of death and returned to its basic state, only then will it absorb energy from the outside world again … "
"Alright." Yun Yang suddenly had a thought. "Emmie, aren't you good at absorbing and assimilating the vitality of spiritual plants? Can you do anything to this Soul-Devouring Tree?"
"Can I?"
Emmie cried out in surprise.
"Of course you can, but you still have to be careful. Don't let them die completely. Take it easy …" Yun Yang grinned mischievously. The legendary wisdom of the Nine Supremes was nowhere to be seen.
Emmie was excited when it heard him.
It had thought that Yun Yang did not intend to let it touch the tree at all when it saw how careful he was even when he was destroying it. It did not expect that it could still feast on it. What a pleasant surprise!
The Soul-Devouring Tree in front of it had a strong foundation. The energy contained within was not just a great supplement, it was obviously a great supplement. Even if it could not devour too much, it was still a great pleasure.
It had profited again this time.
"If I absorb it … then I don't have to emit the air of death anymore …" The buds at the tip of Emmie's vine were restless, moving around Yun Yang's palm like a spoiled child, tickling Yun Yang.
"Can you absorb about eighty percent of the Soul-Devouring Tree's life force?"
"Eighty percent? Then it would take at least a thousand years to recover? "
"The buds on the outside can't be seen through by those with a discerning eye. As long as you can ensure this, do it quickly. Emmie! Absorb as much as you can! "Yun Yang was overjoyed as he instructed cautiously.
Looking at the row of thousands of Soul-Devouring Trees, Yun Yang's eyes shone brightly.
As long as it was useful to Emmie, it was fine.
These thousands of trees were undoubtedly a treasure trove!
What was left was only the problem of how to get out.
