In front of them was a wide, empty area. In the center, there was a short tree with extremely lush branches.
The tree was less than thirty meters tall, but its branches were so thick that even two grown men wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around it.
Unlike its short height, it had tens of millions of branches, each of which was at least one or two hundred meters long. On top of these extremely long branches, there were also many small branches sticking out from the side. This caused such a short tree to cover an area of several hundred meters around it.
The most conspicuous thing was none other than the fist-sized purple fruits growing on the three large branches at the top of the tree crown.
They were spherical in shape, and their surface was sparkling and translucent. They glowed with colorful light and emanated a blurry mist.
"Master, I'll go pick the fruit."
"Don't be rash! This Abyssal Fruit is protected by a serpent spirit! "
Just as Linley was about to move, the faces of the silver-haired youth and the other two changed dramatically. But it was already too late. By the time they finished speaking, Linley had already arrived in front of the tree.
Crackle! Crackle!
Crackle! Just as Linley reached out with his hand, the branches and leaves of the tree began to tremble, as though they were being blown by a wind.
In the next instant, tens of thousands of streaks of green light lit up.
Looking carefully, they were palm-sized green snakes.
"This aura … flee!"
Staring at the dense cluster of green snakes and sensing the aura hidden within them, the faces of the silver-haired youth and the other two instantly revealed looks of terror.
Any single one of these snakes had the aura of a Demigod!
If there were only a few dozen of them, that was one thing; the three of them, as Gods, would be able to kill them. But there were tens of thousands of them!
"What are you standing there for? If you don't run now, it'll be too late! Forget about your disciple. He's dead for sure! "Seeing that Chu Bei was still standing there, stunned, the silver-haired youth immediately shouted a warning.
However, Chu Bei remained unmoved, a smile on his face the entire time.
Linley, who had already appeared in front of the tree, stared at the dense cluster of green snakes and suddenly shivered.
He turned around to look at Chu Bei. When he met Chu Bei's gaze, he seemed to regain his confidence. He pushed off the ground with his right foot and soared into the air, reaching out to grab the purple fruit.
At almost the same time, those tens of thousands of green snakes with the power of a Demigod flooded towards Linley.
Just as the densely packed green snakes were about to overwhelm Linley, a pale yellow wall of light suddenly appeared in front of Linley.
Chi! Chi!
Green smoke rose, and the tens of thousands of green snakes that landed on the wall of light were like moths to a flame, turning into ashes in an instant.
"All … all dead!"
"How, how is this possible!"
The silver-haired young man and the other two who hadn't flown far away looked back and saw such a scene. They were immediately stunned and motionless.
"It seems that the Netherworld Mountain has welcomed a rather powerful fellow." At this moment, the short tree swayed, and actually emitted a human voice.
"Are you all here for the Abyssal Fruit?"
As the soft voice rang out, an enormous face began to appear atop the trunk of the Abyssal Fruit Tree, and the branches swayed, sending Linley flying backwards.
"That … that is …"
Staring at the enormous face atop the trunk, the distant silver-haired youth and the other two, as well as Linley, instantly revealed looks of astonishment.
"Lord Sovereign, they killed ten million of my descendants. I will kill them!"
At this moment, a sinister, low voice suddenly rang out, and then, with a hissing sound, two giant serpents that were more than a hundred meters long appeared. One was golden, while the other was dark red. Their savage, bloody mouths made one's heart tremble.
"What? Sovereign … Sovereign! "
The silver-haired youth and the other two were first startled by the sudden appearance of these two giant serpents. After all, the aura emanating from these two serpents was simply too terrifying. Most likely, even amongst Highgods, they were top-tier existences.
But before they could recover from their shock, the way the two giant serpents addressed the Abyssal Fruit Tree caused their hearts to tremble even more violently.
They had come to harvest the Abyssal Fruit, and knew that the Abyssal Fruit was protected by the serpent spirits. But no matter what, they had never imagined that the Abyssal Fruit Tree which grew the Abyssal Fruit was actually a Sovereign!
Fortunately, from the looks of it, this Sovereign didn't seem to be a bloodthirsty person. Otherwise, with a single thought from him, they probably wouldn't even have bones remaining.
"Lord Sovereign, forgive us for our offense. We will leave immediately!" The silver-haired youth and the other two bowed towards the Abyssal Fruit Tree, and then glanced towards Chu Bei and Linley.
"You want to leave? You can be buried here forever! " The giant golden serpent let out a cold laugh, and then with a slashing sound, it tore through the air, instantly blocking the path of the silver-haired youth and the other two.
"No … don't!"
Staring at the savage, bloody maw that had suddenly appeared before them, the bodies of the three trembled violently. Instantly, looks of terror appeared on their faces.
BOOM!
But just as the giant golden serpent was about to swallow the three of them whole, an enormous, rippling palm appeared out of nowhere, easily swatting the giant golden serpent away and disappearing into the horizon.
In the next instant, the giant, dark red serpent's gaze focused on Chu Bei. Its bloody eyes were filled with disbelief, and at the same time, its killing intent grew even more intense.
However, it didn't immediately attack Chu Bei. Instead, it looked towards the nearby Abyssal Fruit Tree.
"Who are you?!" The gaze of the giant face on the trunk of the Abyssal Fruit Tree was locked onto Chu Bei, a frown on its face.
"You've stayed long enough in the Abyssal Mountain. Why don't you go somewhere else?" Chu Bei didn't answer the question of the Abyssal Fruit Tree, instead asking a question of his own.
"What do you mean by this?" The giant face on the trunk of the tree began to turn gloomy.
"In the future, you can follow me."
Chu Bei held his hands behind his back. As soon as he finished speaking with a smile, he took a single step and appeared in front of the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
And then, with a rumbling sound, an enormous, ancient tree appeared behind him.
This was a strangely shaped, ancient tree that emanated an ancient aura. It had thousands upon thousands of fruits growing on it.
The branches and leaves swayed, and amidst the rumbling sound, thousands of different colors began to appear in the air above the ancient tree, occasionally transforming into all sorts of different shapes. An extremely dense, refreshing aura emanated from the thousands upon thousands of fruits, filling the air above the Abyssal Mountain and transforming into a miraculous sight.
"This … this is …"
The silver-haired youth's group of three, as well as the giant, dark red serpent, all stared in shock at the Bodhi Tree behind Chu Bei.
Before the silver-haired youth and the others could guess at the name of the Bodhi Tree, yet another ancient tree appeared behind Chu Bei. It was the Path-Understanding Tree.
Rumble …
The two ancient trees moved in a formation, one in front and one behind. As their branches swayed, they surrounded the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
Right at this moment, the giant face on the trunk of the Abyssal Fruit Tree seemed to sense danger, but before it could do anything, a miserable, agonized scream rang out from its mouth.
