The Thunderstruck Tree was jet-black like black jade with a slightly sparkling luster. Additionally, there was a tender branch on the tree with a few leaves growing on it.
Even after the passage of time, the leaves were still fresh, tender, and full of vitality.
At the same time, lightning would rush out from time to time. This was the destructive power it had endured after being struck by lightning. Later on, the plant didn't die and continued to grow, producing lightning.
The Thunderstruck Tree contained an innate vitality.
Destruction and rebirth coexisted. This was its peculiar characteristic.
This kind of tree was too rare. Normally, it would die immediately after being struck by lightning and would never grow again. It was difficult to find a few even if one searched through the famed mountains and great rivers.
At the very least, Chu Feng couldn't find any after searching all around.
However, there was a huge pile of them in the vicinity of the true dragon's lair. There were tens of thousands of them. It was simply unimaginable!
The closest one was very close to the border, but Chu Feng didn't dare act blindly without thinking. This was the location of the ancient dragon god city. The terrain here was special and the broken domains were terrifying!
"True dragon's lair, here I come!" Ouyang Feng puffed out his belly and cried out loudly. This fellow was actually extremely daring. He released his own aura and took a step forward.
"Behave yourself!" Chu Feng went to grab it.
"Don't move. I'm the true dragon son of heaven. This is my home field. I'll let you see what it means to have the mandate of heaven!" cried the toad.
That was because it really felt something special. There seemed to be some kind of energy resonating with it from the distant dragon cave and calling out to it.
Now, it strode forward based on its senses. It wanted to merge with that energy in hopes of stepping into the true dragon cave.
Chu Feng didn't hold it back. The toad rushed into the ruins with a swoosh. The runes beneath its feet flickered and the blood energy within its body seeped out. The originally restless ancient land immediately calmed down. There was no longer any danger.
The people behind were astonished. Chu Feng was especially puzzled. Why were the domain runes ineffective against it?!
He frowned and quickly realized the reason. Some astonishing domains could carve all kinds of imprints. For instance, a certain creature's blood energy imprint or a spiritual imprint.
This meant that when they buried the magnetic stones, they could make targeted arrangements for certain races.
Apparently, the domain grandmaster of the past was extremely heaven-defying. Against the Dragon Race, this place was practically a level road with no threat.
"Haha …" The toad Ouyang Feng couldn't stop laughing. He turned his head and cast a sidelong glance at Chu Feng, saying, "I'm going to seize the fortune. When I become a carefree realm expert, I'll take you as my mount!"
Chu Feng's face immediately darkened. This fellow had always been unconvinced, and had actually wanted to rebel. Taking him as a mount was really … asking for a beating!
"Little tadpole, don't be cocky. Hurry up and pick the Dragon's Blood Grass. Also, throw out a few pieces of Thunderstruck Wood!" the Tiger King shouted. His eyes emitted a thieving light, and his face was full of hope.
In truth, this result was out of everyone's expectations. The black yak and the others looked as if they had seen a ghost. This toad that deserved a beating was actually walking on flat ground. But entering the dragon's lair?
Boom!
At this time, the toad suddenly cried out miserably because a huge explosion had occurred. At this moment, its entire body was scorched black as it scampered away.
"Ah, help!"
At this moment, its intuition told it that it was done for. The resonance from before had disappeared, and this place had become dangerous for it.
Bang, bang, bang …
The toad was in a miserable state. It had been blasted out almost all the way and was badly mutilated. One of its legs had almost fallen off as it howled miserably.
This caused everyone's expressions to change as they felt a wave of horror.
Chu Feng quickly threw out a number of magnetic crystals which had already been engraved with domain runes. They landed in the ruins as he guided the toad and helped it escape.
"Ao!" the toad cried out loudly.
Fortunately, it hadn't taken too many steps in. Otherwise, it would've died without a doubt.
By the time it came out, it was already emitting waves of fragrant meat. Its tough body was full of cracks, and one of its legs was fractured and almost broken.
As a divine beast, its intuition was the sharpest. Sometimes, its various judgments were based on this kind of instinctive divine instinct.
However, things were still going well at the beginning, but then it suddenly changed.
"Are you still a family? You're not a good thing to trick your own people!" The toad was furious and shouted toward the true dragon's lair.
"Stop shouting. You should have dragon blood in your body, but it's not pure. That's why you were attacked in the end!" said Chu Feng.
A shocking domain had once been laid down in this area. He judged that only pure-blooded true dragons could approach and enter safely. Other creatures couldn't.
Apart from this, he could only rely on domain techniques to break it.
Chu Feng walked over and helped the toad connect its broken bones.
Ouyang Feng's eyes were immediately filled with tears as he said, "Thank you."
But soon after, it cried out miserably, "Ao, are you trying to murder me? Let go, my leg is broken. Aiyo, I give up. Big Brother, you're my blood brother. Let go quickly and I won't dare say I'll take you as a mount anymore!"
Chu Feng patted it and stood up. At the same time, he made the toad stand back and arrived at the edge of the ruins to study it.
This was time-consuming and required continuous deduction. In the end, Chu Feng made his move and entered the ruins. He wanted to get a Thunderstruck Wood, and the others followed suit to assist him. They listened to his orders and constantly produced magnetic crystals.
But they ended up in a miserable state. Before long, a black energy radiance soared and they were blasted until they were covered in dirt and dirt. Their bodies were stained with blood as they escaped.
"Damn, this is Lunar Lightning. How sinister! Which bullsh * t domain grandmaster laid down this domain? He only knows how to scam his descendants!"
The group of people were indignant.
All of them were injured and spitting out bloody froth from their mouths.
It wasn't that Chu Feng wasn't strong, but the disparity between him and a domain grandmaster was too great.
He could only rejoice that this place had been destroyed back then. Otherwise, he would've died if he entered!
Chu Feng was helpless. He recalled the stone inscriptions the Dragoness had given him. There was once a domain grandmaster who had come here and wanted to lay down a formation around the dragon's lair.
But that domain grandmaster failed. He left behind some stone inscriptions when he was on the verge of death.
Chu Feng had long since memorized them in his heart. Now that he thought about it, he had some ideas after a long time of serious contemplation.
He tried again, but the area was once again filled with ghostly wails and wolf howls.
"Ouch, it hurts so much! I'm not going to take the risk!"
"Brother, I took a few wrong steps again. This old bull is almost roasted. This time, I drew out the essence flames of extreme yang and almost burned off one of my horns!
"Heehaw, heehaw, heehaw …"
"Goddammit, Old Donkey, I'll beat you to death if you dare yell and take advantage of me again!"
…
It could be said that the place was in a state of chaos. Chu Feng kept on experimenting and pushing forward, but he was tormented by the domain runes time and time again.
"If you can't do it, just throw the toad in. In any case, it can walk a safe distance and we can use it to scout the way."
"Old Black, you dare?!" The toad stomped its feet.
Boom!
Following which, several more explosions occurred. The group spat out blood and suffered serious injuries. Even the Dragoness was in a state of disarray and her snow-white body was charred black.
"Handsome Big Brother Chu Feng, I'm not going in. My old waist is about to be broken!" The problem-lady supported her slender waist and was in a sorry state. Her whole body was covered in traces of being struck by lightning. Her little face was tense and her heart was filled with lingering fear.
However, Chu Feng was quite engrossed and felt more and more. Later on, he told everyone to retreat and he studied alone.
In the end, he successfully charged in and brought out a piece of Thunderstruck Wood!
Moreover, he pulled out a few stalks of Dragon's Blood Grass, but it was too much of a pity. These stalks of precious medicine were damaged beyond recognition after the great explosion just now, all of them damaged beyond recognition.
"There won't be much effect if we eat them directly. Let's use them to refine medicine!" said Chu Feng as he placed the Thunderstruck Wood and the damaged Draconic Blood Grass into the spatial bottle.
"Let's go. The level of this place is too high. The sage's dwelling isn't something we can explore at our current level. When I become a domain grandmaster one day, I'll definitely enter the dragon cave and dig out the Reverse Scale Flower and Dragon Embryo Tree!"
That kind of thing was effective even for golden arhat level evolvers, let alone them. Once they consumed it, they would become top experts on Earth.
The others felt that it was a pity. They had to guard this precious land, yet it was difficult to obtain the most astonishing fortune. For instance, there was a large patch of Draconic Blood Grass in the distance. It was right in front of the dragon cave, yet they couldn't obtain it.
Spiritual energy and telekinesis were all ineffective in this place. The power of domains was omnipresent.
"What a deceptive dragon nest!" Ouyang Feng was the most unwilling.
"Let's go quickly. We caused too much of a commotion just now and activated a portion of the domains in these ruins. I feel that it's very dangerous. If we provoke it just a little more, we'll definitely provoke a great disaster." Chu Feng's expression was solemn.
He stared at the tall bronze pillar in the ruins and discovered that it was sparkling and translucent. The rag on it, which was half a flag, was actually fluttering in the wind.
"How strange. The dragon race's war flag is moving," mumbled Yellow Cattle.
"Let's go. We can't stay here for long!" Said Chu Feng. He then muttered, "This place is suitable for swindling people. If we encounter extraterrestrials in the future, we can lure them here."
Chu Feng and the others had just left the ruins and walked outside when they were blocked in the blink of an eye!
"Oh, not bad. You guys are quite capable. I like it." A few figures appeared. It was a silver-robed middle-aged man with a cold smile on his face.
He was extremely powerful and emitted an abnormally terrifying aura. It was suspected that he had severed his ninth shackle!
"Who are you?!" asked Chu Feng.
"The Dragon King of the Southern Sea. You've crossed the line!" The Dragoness spoke. Her expression changed as she recognized the other party's identity.
"The Elder Dragon King of the Southern Sea?!" Chu Feng was astonished.
"No, I'm his sworn brother. My name is Long Ze." The silver-robed middle-aged man had a faint smile on his face. He was very heroic and was obviously an extraordinary expert. He was emitting powerful self-confidence.
Even the entities beside him weren't weak. All of them were suffused with astonishing energy.
Long Ze laughed and glanced at the Dragoness. "Niece, your father is entangling my brother, the Elder Dragon King of the Southern Sea. He's afraid he'll come to the Eastern Sea's eye. But I'm a free man."
"Long Ze has severed his ninth shackle. He's the number two character of the Southern Sea Dragon Palace!" The Dragoness informed Chu Feng.
This caused Chu Feng's heart to tremble. The life forms of the ocean were indeed terrifying. They were comparable to descenders and had actually evolved to such a level, surpassing the continent.
But after thinking about how the Fusang Divine Tree and the Dragon Blood Grass had appeared one after another, he felt relieved. At present, the fortunes in the ocean were indeed more astonishing than those on the continent.
If they wanted to compete with the Fusang Divine Tree, they would have to wait for the birth of the peaches of immortality from Kunlun.
"So you're Chu Feng. You killed two of my nephews in succession." Long Ze had his hands behind his back and wore a faint smile. However, it was somewhat cold and cruel.
Hei Teng had been killed by Chu Feng on Mount Sanqing, and the Southern Sea Black Dragon Second Prince had been burned to death by Chu Feng on Mount Zhijin. Both of them were the Elder Dragon King's flesh and blood.
Now, the Elder Dragon King's sworn brother, the other Southern Sea Old Flood Serpent, Long Ze, had appeared. Naturally, he wouldn't be kind and wanted to kill Chu Feng.
"What did you guys get from the dragon lair just now? Hand it all over," Long Ze said with a smile.
"In your dreams!" Chu Feng replied. That was because it was useless to compromise. His enmity with the Southern Sea lineage was too deep.
Apparently, Long Ze had arrived long ago and was waiting outside to seize their fortunes.
"Heh, heh, I can spare your lives. But I have a condition. Apart from handing over what you got just now, you have to enter the dragon lair and help me pick some Dragon Blood Grass," said Long Ze.
This was completely using them as tools, forcing them to throw their lives away to help him obtain precious evolution medicines.
The Dragoness spoke, "Uncle Long Ze, you've crossed the line. This is the Eastern Sea Dragon Race's territory, and Chu Feng is an honored guest I've invited. It's not right of you to cause trouble at the eye of the Eastern Sea."
"Niece, I won't make things difficult for you today. Stand to the side," said Long Ze. He then glanced at Chu Feng and said, "What, are you not convinced? The situation is stronger than the person. I know you're very powerful and have severed seven shackles, but so what? I'm not one of those extraterrestrials who can't display their true strength. Today, I'll eat you for sure. Either you submit to me and help me pick the Dragon Blood Grass, or you die immediately! "
Long Ze's expression was cold and filled with killing intent.
The people behind him also revealed killing intent as they stared at Chu Feng.
"You're going too far!" Chu Feng looked at Long Ze.
"Yes, I'm bullying you. What can you do about it?!" Long Ze sneered. He was fairly tyrannical and appeared quite confident.
"Uncle Yaksha, ask them to leave!" At this time, the Dragoness suddenly spoke.
"Very well!" A figure flickered in the distance and a person walked over. His entire body was suffused with a faint golden color. This was a patrolling Yaksha, but he was quite powerful.
He had actually also severed nine shackles. This was a top expert of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, second only to the Elder Dragon King.
The golden Yaksha's skin was like metal. He walked over slowly and stared at Long Ze. "Long Ze, you should leave."
"Weren't you in the Southern Sea? You've actually returned quietly." Long Ze sneered and then said, "Since I've come, I don't want to leave. I must capture and kill this Chu Feng!"
Afterward, he relaxed his expression and was no longer solemn. He glanced at the old Yaksha and said, "Brother Yaksha, this is a rare opportunity. This brat's attainments in the domain are extraordinary. Drive him into the dragon lair and let him risk his life. Perhaps he'll really be able to pick some Dragon Blood Grass."
The Dragoness' expression sank. "Do you think the people of the Eastern Sea are the same as your southern sea dragon race? Chu Feng is my guest. How can Uncle Yaksha do that?"
Long Ze laughed indifferently. He didn't look at the Dragoness but instead at the old Yaksha. "How about it, Dao Brother?"
It was at this time that a figure appeared in the distance. He strode over and said, "The southern sea dragon race is quite awe-inspiring."
This was a middle-aged man. The most important thing was that he was a human and not a marine race entity. He had already severed eight shackles.
At this time, Chu Feng, the black yak, and the others were all astonished. This underwater world was no small matter. Three great experts had appeared in succession, far surpassing those on land!
"A human expert. How unexpected. But you're still one level lower. If you want to meddle in our business, you'll have to pay for it yourself," Long Ze said indifferently.
At the same time, he was also somewhat astonished. Where had this human with eight severed shackles come from?
"That means you insist on letting Chu Feng enter the dragon lair and pick the Dragon's Blood Grass for you?" the human male asked.
He looked to be in his thirties or forties and was clad in a purple robe of ancient attire. He was of medium build and, although his appearance was ordinary, his aura was quite powerful.
"So what if I am?!" Long Ze revealed a tyrannical expression. He was prepared to make this fierce human stay.
"You have to look at the master before beating the dog. You dare touch someone that my Penglai Immortal Island wants to protect?" The man of medium build revealed a cold smile and said, "Even if I really let him enter the dragon lair to pick the Dragon's Blood Grass, it won't be your southern sea dragon race's turn to obtain it."
Penglai Immortal Island? When they heard these words, both the old yaksha and Long Ze's expressions changed!
Chu Feng, Yellow Cattle, and the Manchurian Tiger couldn't calm their hearts.
At first, Chu Feng had a good impression of him. As a fellow human, this person was standing up for him. But after hearing the latter part, his expression became unsightly.
That was because this person's words were too unpleasant to hear. What did he mean by "you have to look at the master before beating the dog" mean? Such a statement was too inappropriate.
At this time, the middle-aged man glanced at Chu Feng and said, "Can you enter the dragon lair and pick some Dragon's Blood Grass? I have use for them."
"I can't," Chu Feng replied.
The middle-aged man's expression immediately sank and he no longer spoke. He then waved his hand at Long Ze, gesturing for him to leave with a rather impatient expression.
Although he was only eight severed shackles, Long Ze was quite apprehensive because he had announced his origin and was from the Penglai Immortal Island. He actually wanted to leave after some hesitation.
Chu Feng was unhappy. What did these people think he was?
Long Ze was one thing, but things were destined to be bad. That was because the southern sea dragon race had an old grudge with Chu Feng.
And this human had actually said such things just now. Something about looking at the master before beating the dog? And now, after driving Long Ze away, he wanted to keep Chu Feng alone. Could it be that he also wanted to force him into the dragon lair?
