Chapter 53

As the two battled, the mountains and rivers in the Thousand Spirit Grotto-heaven were destroyed, but only one thing remained — the Longevity Fruit Tree. It was constantly emitting spiritual light to repair the Grotto-heaven, slowly regaining control.

Di Xuanzi had his own plan. If Jiang Yuanchen wanted to stall for time, he would accompany him. If Jiang Yuanchen wanted to let the Heavenly Pillar seal the Grotto-heaven, then Di Xuanzi could take back the Grotto-heaven and suppress Jiang Yuanchen with the Grotto-heaven Territory.

Therefore, he didn't take away the Longevity Fruit Tree. On the surface, he fought with Jiang Yuanchen, but in the dark, he used the Longevity Fruit Tree to regain control of the Grotto-heaven. But when he saw Jiang Yuanchen appear next to the Longevity Fruit Tree, his face darkened.

"What are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do?" Jiang Yuanchen smiled sinisterly and swung the Axe of Creation at the Divine Tree.

"Hyun Ho!" A shrill cry echoed in the Grotto-heaven. The Longevity Fruit Tree spewed out a large amount of Creation Qi into the Grotto-heaven.

The Longevity Fruit Tree shook. There was a deep axe mark on the tree trunk, and it kept eating away at the Longevity Fruit Tree. But the Longevity Fruit Tree absorbed energy from the Grotto-heaven and slowly recovered. Soon, it returned to its original state of being full of green leaves and branches. Unfortunately, the Grotto-heaven's Spirit Qi was limited. If it couldn't be replenished from the ground, it would be hard for it to resist Jiang Yuanchen's continuous attacks.

"Hyun Ho, you should know that this is my foundation. If you dare to destroy the Longevity Fruit Tree and break my foundation, you will never be able to prove your Dao in the future! "The Earth Ancestor threatened as he tried to think of a way to escape.

The Longevity Fruit Tree was Di Xuanzi's lifeline. It was also the Earth Level Deity's sacred item. Other than the Longevity Fruit, there was another special fruit on it. Each fruit represented an Earth Level Deity. This was the Dao Fruit Tree of the Earth Level Deity.

The Earth Ancestor wanted to rush over, but he was stuck in space and couldn't move at all.

With a thought, an incarnation flew out from the top of his head. But before it flew out, Qingxu and the others used Daira's Light Obscuring Mirror to destroy the incarnation.

"Give me the Hetu of Earth Mountain."

"Impossible!" Suddenly, Jiang Yuanchen chopped down with his axe again. The tree shook even more violently, and the tree began to tilt. Di Xuanzi panicked and Jiang Yuanchen shouted, "Don't move. If you move, I will continue. Just stand there."

The Earth Ancestor suppressed his anger. "How about this? We'll delay the Battle of the Heavens and Earth. You guys go and deal with the Divine Dao first. The Earth Immortal lineage will definitely not ally with the Divine Dao. Level Deity Deity.

"Level Deity Deity Deity Fruit Deity Deity.

Chop down the Longevity Fruit Tree if you can! "

"See if I dare!" Jiang Yuanchen gestured beside the tree.

Dizu was panicking but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "If you do that, the Taoist priest will attack Kunlun, destroy your peach garden, topple your Kunlun Heavenly Pillar and kill all your people!"

"Hehe." The axe landed on the mark left by the second strike, ready for the third.

"Come, come." Di Xuanzi said, "I don't believe you have the guts. It's easy to chop the tree but you can't afford the revenge! Even Xuanqing didn't dare to destroy my tree. "

"You really think I don't dare?"

"You don't dare?" Dizu went all out and stared at Jiang Yuanchen's Axe of Creation.

"Three, two, one!" His mana surged and he swung the axe at the fruit tree. Earth Ancestor opened his mouth, only to hear a loud rumbling sound.

The divine tree collapsed and more than 300 talismans rose under the tree, breaking the roots one by one and cutting off the fruit tree's ability to recover by absorbing the Earth Qi from the grotto-heaven.

"You —" Dizu watched as the tree collapsed and countless fruits disappeared. All that was left was a lump of wood and the trunk and crown of the divine tree. Boundless vitality of creation spread and leaked out from the grotto-heaven. Qing Xu and the others took the opportunity to take it away.

Qing Xu laughed wildly in his heart, Great, great, this Emperor is indeed extraordinary. The fruit tree is the foundation of the Earth Deity lineage. Now that the tree has collapsed, the Earth Deity lineage's providence is gone. There will be no more threats in the future! Anyone could see that the providence of the Earth Deity lineage was disappearing quickly. In the future, the Earth Deity lineage could no longer use the fruit to extend their lifespan.

"Hyun Ho!" The voice echoed in the three realms. Yuheng's hand shook and Khuti also felt the murderous intent in the voice.

Emperor Su and Tianjun stopped and secretly expanded their immortal senses toward the Thousand Spirit grotto-heaven.

Yujing was editing the Dao canon in the Jade Spirit grotto-heaven. He looked toward where Dizu was and smiled bitterly, "It's rare to be able to force Dizu to this extent."

He was angry, unprecedentedly angry. Even when he fought with Xuan Qing in the past, Xuan Qing did not dare to do this!

His face was red and half of Mount Meru was burned. He pointed his horsetail whisk at Jiang Yuanchen and said, "Hyun Ho, you and I are irreconcilable!" Daira's anger spread all over the Grand Han Shu Continent.

Jiang Yuanchen's expression did not change, but he was shocked in his heart. "This Daira Immortal is going all out!"

Dizu did not care anymore. The mountains and rivers in the grotto-heaven disappeared and turned into Earth Qi that gathered around Dizu. Jiang Yuanchen's incomplete Daira Starry Sky was destroyed by Dizu and its power was still gathering.

"If this attack hits, I will definitely die." His eyelids twitched and he decisively took out the Clear Sky Crown and Primordial Beginning Pearl to set up a defense. Starlight shrunk around him and layers of light formed a shield.

On the other side, the horsetail whisk in Dizu's hand merged with the Profound Earth Mountain's Hetu and turned into a killing sword.

Killing intent burst forth from the earth, dragons and snakes rose from the land, heavenly grotto-heavens, mountains and rivers, and tens of thousands of spirit veins converged on the killing sword, aiming at Jiang Yuanchen.

Jiang Yuanchen loved dragons, but the long dragon behind the Earth Ancestor was made up of boundless Earth Qi, and its baleful aura was overwhelming. Even Jiang Yuanchen did not like it.

"Wait!" Yuan Qing appeared and shouted at Di Xuanzi.

Di Xuanzi did not want to talk to her but he suddenly smelled a fragrance and looked in that direction. He saw Yuan Qing holding a pot of Green Wood Spirit Herb and the fragrance was coming from it. There were cattail leaves on the green wood and there were several spirit fruits shining under the shade.

"Longevity Fruit Tree?" With a blank expression, the Earth Ancestor's anger dissipated by thirty percent.

"If you dare to touch him, I will cut the last Longevity Fruit Tree in the world!" Yuan Qing held the golden scissors and landed beside the green wood.

"Cut it if you can. This is not my Longevity Fruit Tree anyway. Are you threatening me with this? "Di Xuanzi said as he looked at the Longevity Fruit Tree. If he could get this fruit tree, he could recover some of the Earth Immortal's fate before the old tree's Spirit Qi dissipated.

This Longevity Fruit Tree was cultivated using the seed given by Dizu. After Jiang Yuanchen broke the Earth Immortal's fate, this was the last Longevity Fruit Tree. As long as the tree was moved and the fate grafted, the Earth Immortal's line could still be saved.

"Then do it! If you kill the Daoist, I will destroy the last hope of your Earth Immortal's line. I will let your whole family die with the Daoist! "

"Cut it first if you can!"

"You think I don't dare? If the Daoist can cut your old tree, I can cut this little tree too. "Yuan Qing suddenly cut a leaf from the tree.

The leaf fell to the ground and Yuan Qing said seriously, "Also, don't try to snatch it from me! My Art of Creation can suck the life force of the fruit tree dry before you do it! "

Dizu looked at A Female Nun. She is definitely another Hyun Ho!

Jiang Yuanchen snickered on the side. This fellow daoist of mine is indeed the most compatible with my Dao. Look at you, worrying about the gains and losses of a Spirit Root. Looks like the Earth Immortal's line can enter Xian Ting.

The female deity stared at Di Xuanzi. Seeing that Di Xuanzi didn't move, she carried the fruit tree to Jiang Yuanchen.

"Good job." Jiang Yuanchen secretly gave a thumbs up and said to Di Xuanzi, "The Daoist should know what I want to do, right?"

"…" The sword in Di Xuanzi's hand flickered with light but it was much weaker than before.

"Be obedient and I'll give this tree to you. But if you don't, hehe — "Jiang Yuanchen gave him a look and Yuan Qing cut another branch.

"Cut them off if you have the ability. Since I don't see anything, I'll wipe out your entire sect." Di Xuanzi closed his eyes and didn't even look at Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanchen.

"Sure!" Jiang Yuanchen took the scissors from Yuan Qing's hand, "Then I will count to three and cut the Longevity Fruit Tree. You can go to Kunlun and kill my whole family."

"One!" Di Xuanzi raised his eyebrows and felt conflicted.

At this moment, Yujing spoke to him, "Friend, my junior brother is much more ruthless than Senior Brother Xuanqing. You won't end well if you go against him. If you go to Kunlun and use up all your merit points, the Taoist priest can also kill you. Why bother? "

Di Xuanzi's heart skipped a beat and Yujing continued, "The Earth Immortal's line's fate is on the decline. So what if you kill his whole family? The Heaven Immortal's line will only lose a half-step Daira Immortal Monarch. Qingxu can still force you all to submit when he ascends to the throne. Without the Longevity Fruit Tree, do you think the Earth Immortal's line will have a chance to fight back? "

"An internecine outcome. How could we immortals do something like this?"

"It's better to surrender now and he will give you the Longevity Fruit Tree to restore your fate. Although you surrender now, you will still have a chance to fight back in the future."

Fight back? Di Xuanzi found an excuse for himself, "That's right, I've already endured for a million years, what's the point of fighting now? I'll submit first and find a chance to take revenge later. As long as there's life, there's hope. "

Their conversation lasted only for a moment and Di Xuanzi thought it through and said, "I surrender! Don't attack! "But at the same time, Jiang Yuanchen shouted," Three! "

Then, there was a cracking sound.

Di Xuanzi opened his eyes abruptly and saw that the newly grown fruit tree had been cut by Jiang Yuanchen. He could only watch as the branches fell to the ground.

"Hyun Ho, what are you doing!" Why did he shout three instead of two? Di Xuanzi laughed in anger, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Fine, the Taoist priest will do as you wish and fight to the death with you."

"I shouted two in my heart just now." Jiang Yuanchen said casually. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he took out another longevity fruit tree. "It's just an illusion." With a flick of his sleeve, the fallen branches of the fruit tree turned into yuan qi and dissipated. "Fellow Daoist, did you just say … you're convinced?"

Di Xuanzi was startled, he was distracted by the tree just now so how could he have the mood to check if it was real or not?

"I surrender, give me the tree and we, the Earth Immortals, will submit to Xian Ting." Di Xuanzi sighed, the Earth Immortals did not have the ability to fight now, it was better to get some compensation.

"I've seen through your temper, look at you, you're so desperate just for a Spirit Root?" Jiang Yuanchen laughed in his heart but his expression did not change, "The Longevity Fruit Tree gathered the Earth Immortals' fate and now that the tree is destroyed, I will bring the old tree back to Xian Ting as a warning. The Longevity Fruit Tree that Yuan Qing cultivated will continue to protect your fate. "

"Okay." Di Xuanzi swore and Jiang Yuanchen passed the fruit tree to Yuan Qing, Yuan Qing cast a spell and merged with the remaining roots.

The old tree was broken into three parts, one was the trunk and the crown, which Jiang Yuanchen took away. The second part was the lower half of the trunk and the main roots that were buried in the soil. This big lump of wood was also taken away by Jiang Yuanchen, the remaining roots were exposed when Di Xuanzi converted the Earth Qi.

Yuan Qing appeared, the Golden Light of Creation connected the roots to her fruit tree, the essence of countless roots accelerated the growth of the fruit tree and fixed it in the center of the grotto-heaven.

"Dizu, please open the grotto-heaven again." Yuan Qing left this incarnation behind to work together with Dizu.

Dizu shook his head and repeated the scene, the fate of the Earth Immortals gathered on the fruit tree, it grew slowly, although it was not as tall as the original tree, it was still a thousand feet tall.

Jiang Yuanchen took the chance to sneak out. He was not worried that Di Xuanzi would plot against Yuan Qing, he greeted Qing Xu and the rest and everyone went to Tai Chi Huang Continent.
