However, the loss of these branches was nothing to the Tree Demon. Immediately after, another wave of thick branches covered the sky and covered the earth. The power was extremely fierce. When the branches broke through the air, a whistling sound could be heard. It was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves, shocking people's minds.
Seeing this scene, Bing Ling could not help but shout, "Lu Xuan, be careful!"
Bing Ling raised her Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword and rushed towards Lu Xuan before he even finished speaking. Although she was not as strong as she was in the past, she could more or less help Lu Xuan.
However, the speed of the tree demon was indeed too fast. The countless giant trees around seemed to be under its control. Branches extended from all directions and surrounded Lu Xuan in an instant. There was no way for Bing Ling to escape. Bing Ling was also blocked outside by the branch cage, unable to get in at all. Bing Ling panicked for a moment.
Little Tanuki rushed forward angrily. Its body was covered with solid dragon scales and its sharp claws were constantly waving. In front of its claws, the incomparably hard branches seemed extremely fragile and broke at a touch. Unfortunately, although Little Tanuki's attack was fierce, there were too many branches. It could not be broken in a short period of time.
Bing Ling and Little Tanuki were anxious to rescue Lu Xuan. At this moment, Lu Xuan was in the branch cage. His heart was trembling, but his face was calm. If they wanted to kill him, this little bit of power was not enough!
Lu Xuan watched as the cage of branches rapidly contracted, as if it would completely bind him at the very next moment. However, at that moment, Lu Xuan swung the Masked Sword again.
A ray of sunlight suddenly emitted from the gap of the branch cage. Immediately after, the sunlight became brighter and hotter.
"Glorious Sun!" Lu Xuan roared and suddenly swung the Masked Dust Sword. An incomparably huge, illusory sun suddenly condensed. Immediately after, there was a loud bang, and an endless amount of intense sunlight exploded from the center of the cage of branches! A heart-palpitating power erupted without reservation!
Fire!
Endless flames!
The extremely destructive Li Fire!
In the blink of an eye, the cage of branches that was attacking Lu Xuan was set ablaze. An ear-piercing shriek sounded out of nowhere, but Lu Xuan knew that it must have come from the tree demon.
This move of his had definitely caused unimaginable damage to the tree demon. Fire countered wood, not to mention the extremely hot and Yang Li Fire. No matter how strong a tree branch was, it would still be afraid of fire.
The tree demon no longer dared to continue attacking. It quickly pulled back its branches and streams of power surged out from the tree demon's essence to quickly extinguish the flames.
Sensing this power, Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This is … the power of life!
Just when Lu Xuan wanted to find out what was going on, the many trees that were showing off their prowess suddenly stopped, as if they had suddenly turned from a living thing to a dead thing.
Lu Xuan could not help but feel his heart sink. The tree demon had probably run away. He did not believe it, so he slashed at the nearby trees with his sword a few times in succession. A few large trees that required three to four people to wrap their arms around the circumference of the tree snapped, but there was no unusual reaction at all.
"It should have run away. If it didn't run, its essence would have been burned by your Li Fire." Bing Ling walked over and said.
Lu Xuan raised the long sword in his hand and said, "This time, it's all thanks to Huo Li. If it wasn't for him, my Glorious Sun would not have been able to display such power, let alone repel the tree demon in one move."
This tree demon was a powerful existence that could capture Yu Chenghua in an instant. With Lu Xuan's current strength, he might not be its opponent in a head-on battle, but Huo Li's existence just happened to restrain it. Now, Lu Xuan finally understood how powerful a spiritual tool was compared to a bejeweled tool!
Hearing this, Bing Ling slowly shook her head and said, "It's not an ordinary tree demon."
Lu Xuan was slightly startled and said, "Of course it's not ordinary. Its strength is comparable to a late-stage Virtualized Realm cultivator."
Bing Ling continued to shake her head and said, "I'm not saying its strength is not ordinary, but its identity is not ordinary. If I'm not wrong, it should be the Tree of Life, or in other words, an incarnation of the Tree of Life."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but gasp. The thing that attacked him was the Tree of Life?! But, wasn't the Tree of Life bound by Bing Ling's formation? How could it come out and do evil? Also, how did the Tree of Life develop intelligence?
"Could it be that the small segment of the Tree of Life you left behind has grown into the real Tree of Life? Otherwise, how could it develop intelligence? "Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lu Xuan asked. Bing Ling frowned.
Bing Ling frowned. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It's not easy to grow a Tree of Life. There can only be one Tree of Life. In the past, the Spirit Clan spent a great deal of effort to cultivate a Tree of Life, but they still failed. How could it possibly grow in the Human World? However, judging from the aura it released just now, it's definitely the aura of a Tree of Life."
"Something is strange …" Lu Xuan couldn't help but say in a deep voice. Something that they didn't know must have happened in the Wood Domain.
Bing Ling nodded, "Indeed. The Tree of Life is the Wood Clan's Tree of Origin. It has a gentle temperament, so it shouldn't be this violent. I don't understand either. Let's be careful. You have Huo Li's help now. Even if the Tree of Life wants to attack you, it won't be that easy. "
Lu Xuan softly nodded. Then, he looked around and found Yu Chenghua's corpse. He was indeed dead. He didn't die in the hands of Lu Xuan or Dong Ruyi. Instead, he died in the hands of the Tree of Life.
Moreover, the way he died was extremely ugly. He seemed to have become a dried corpse. Not only was his life force sucked out, even his blood was sucked dry.
At this moment, somewhere far away from Lu Xuan, a young man slowly opened his eyes. A trace of pain flashed across his eyes, but soon after, a burst of life force gushed out from a branch in his hand and quickly entered his body. A trace of comfort flashed across his face, and he returned to normal.
"Sikong Tiancai, how is he?" A female voice asked. It was Dong Ruyi again!
The young man's surname was Sikong. Without a doubt, he was a member of the Sikong Clan, the current ruler of the Octagonal Sacred Palace. Moreover, Sikong Tiancai's status in the Sikong Clan was not ordinary. He was the son of the Sikong Clan's current patriarch, Sikong Qing!
Sikong Tiancai looked at Dong Ruyi and snorted, "Your Illusionary God Sect's traitor, Yu Chenghua, has been killed."
"What about Lu Xuan?" Dong Ruyi asked again.
"Just as you said, this kid is a little tricky," Sikong Tiancai said in a deep voice. He then glared at Dong Ruyi and said, "Why didn't you tell me that this kid is proficient in the Power of Fire? I almost suffered a great loss!"
Dong Ruyi was shocked when she heard that. She said in surprise, "He's proficient in the Power of Fire? He's never shown it before. "
Then, Dong Ruyi's mind flashed, and she said in surprise, "Could it be that this kid obtained some treasure in the Land of Fire again? That's why he possesses the Power of Fire?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Sikong Tiancai said impatiently.
Dong Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "No matter what, this kid must be eliminated. His talent is too great. He'll definitely be a strong enemy in the future."
Sikong Tiancai could not help but burst into laughter, "Great talent? Is he stronger than me? I'm Sikong Tiancai! However, since he dared to trespass into my territory, then I'll naturally take his life! Now, I'm the hunter. Anyone who dares to trespass into the Land of Wood will be my prey! "
At this moment, another deep voice sounded behind Sikong Tiancai, "You're the hunter, and so am I. Don't forget our agreement. The Power of Life is yours, and the Power of Soul is mine."
Sikong Tiancai turned to look at the person who spoke. He saw that the person's body was semi-transparent, and his eyes were burning with two balls of blazing Soul Fire. This person was actually a member of the Soul Race!
"Kur, don't worry. Even though you're a member of the Soul Race, I don't care. As long as you can fulfill our agreement and help my Octagonal Sacred Palace become the true master of the Sky Sword Continent!" Sikong Tiancai said.
The two balls of Soul Fire in Kur's eyes flickered slightly. He then said, "I don't care about a puny Sky Sword Continent. As long as you can restore my former strength and let me contact the Soul Race in the Upper Heaven Realm, I can even bring you to the Upper Heaven Realm!"
Sikong Tiancai sneered, "If the Upper Heaven Realm is as powerful as they say, why would I need to go there? When I become the master of the Sky Sword Continent, I'll be able to keep my word. Wouldn't that be better than going to the Upper Heaven Realm and being a little pawn?"
"Then it's up to you," Kur said in a low voice.
Off to the side, Dong Ruyi had a smug look on her face. "Now that the Illusionary God Sect has the help of the Soul Race, and you've obtained a wood-type treasure, we can sweep through the entire sealed land. We'll kill all the people from the Jiuhua Alliance and Myriad Shark Island!"
"Someone else has broken in. They're from the Jiuhua Alliance, and they're quite strong. Kur, hurry over there and help me kill them!" Sikong Tiancai suddenly said.
Just like how Lu Xuan was able to sense the situation in the entire desert when he was in control of the Soil of Chaos, Sikong Tiancai was now in control of the Tree of Life, which meant that he knew everything that was happening in the Wood Realm like the back of his hand. No one knew how he was able to control the Tree of Life. Coupled with the fact that he had joined forces with the Soul Clan, they had killed countless people.
Lu Xuan had no idea that the Illusionary God Sect, Octagonal Temple, and the Soul Race had joined forces, and they were planning to kill all the people from the Jiuhua Alliance and Myriad Shark Island in the sealed land. Many experts had entered the sealed land this time, and if their plot was true, it would be a huge blow to the Jiuhua Alliance and Myriad Shark Island. Octagonal Temple might even have a chance to unify the Sky Sword Continent!
