Chi!
Yue Lingkong waved her moonblade complacently. As the moonlight flashed, the Progenitor Tree trembled and gave birth to countless bloody mists.
Amidst the bloody mist, the Progenitor Tree seemed to snap and collapse with a loud rumble.
Her sudden arrival was a huge variable that King Ju Lu did not expect.
In the eyes of the Giant Demon Clan's Sixth Ancestor, the Progenitor Tree was the best way to break the slave marks of the Giant Demon Clan.
However, King Ju Lu was the only one who understood that the ancestral tree was his hope to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm!
This was a demonic tree left behind by the Giant Demon Progenitor!
King Ju Lu deceived the other seven ancestors. He planted the ancestral tree with his blood, nurtured the tree with a formation and attached his life to the tree. In the end, he sacrificed Feng Xueyan to the ancestral tree and used his devil blood to form a fruit. With the fruit of the ancestral tree, he broke through to the Void Fragmentation Realm.
However, all these wishes seemed to have vanished the moment the Progenitor Tree fell …
King Ju Lu's chest was filled with rage, and he almost wanted to kill Yue Lingkong. However, at the moment he looked at the progenitor tree, he seemed to have noticed something, and he revealed a cold smile.
"The Progenitor Tree didn't fall!" King Giant Deer discovered this fact.
As for Yue Lingkong, she heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, she had already broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage a long time ago. It was just that she concealed her heavenly tribulation and hid in the dark, thinking that she could act at the critical moment to help Feng Xueyan.
"Little Cucumber, I've already knocked down this broken tree!" She excitedly wanted to ask Ning Fan for the credit, but she saw Ning Fan's gloomy expression. Using his eight wings at full speed, he hurriedly flew to the front of her, grabbed her slender waist and immediately retreated.
It was as if there was a fiendish demon in the crack between the heavens and the earth. He had to escape immediately, or there would be endless troubles in the future!
Yue Lingkong didn't understand what was going on. Before she could react, she saw the blood mist in the crack in the sky suddenly dissipate, revealing the progenitor tree that had clearly been chopped down, but it was still standing upright!
Being cut down just now was just an illusion created by the blood mist!
Yue Lingkong felt greatly humiliated. She, a human, was actually deceived by a tree? This was too embarrassing!
While he was thinking about these idiotic questions, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. His face suddenly turned pale, and a feeling of weakness surged through his body.
Only now did she notice to her shock that a tenth of the Blood Essence in her body had actually been lost for no reason. Shockingly, it had been swallowed by the blood mist!
The progenitor tree had cast an illusion technique to pretend that it had been chopped down, lowering her guard while secretly absorbing her blood essence …
This was a demonic tree that sucked human blood!
If Ning Fan had been half a step slower in saving her, even if she did not die under the ancestral tree, she would have suffered severe injuries due to the loss of her blood essence.
"Don't be so reckless next time. That tree is a bit scary. Don't get close to it!"
Ning Fan's words carried a harsh tone. However, Yue Lingkong could hear the concern in his words. Naturally, she was in a good mood.
After swallowing a healing pill, Yue Lingkong cursed without a care for her image.
"Motherf * cker! How dare a desolate tree suck my blood essence? This is infuriating … but speaking of which, this tree is really hard, even harder than Little Cucumber's cucumber. My Crescent Blade didn't even scratch its skin … "
"This tree is indeed very hard, and this tree … is very dangerous!" Ning Fan's frown deepened. Just now, when he was heading towards the tree, he actually felt a sense of death from the ancestral tree!
Even if he escaped into the Profound Yin World, he wouldn't be able to avoid that sense of danger!
Perhaps the scariness of this ancestral tree was far beyond Ning Fan's imagination. Perhaps even the Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips he used previously could not destroy it in one go.
After Ning Fan destroyed the Boundless Evil Sea Formation with his fist, the group of cultivators finally escaped death.
Each and every one of the cultivators who had survived the calamity looked at Ning Fan with eyes filled with respect as well as a hint of complicated gratitude.
If it wasn't for Ning Fan who destroyed the grand formation, all the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects would have turned into blood and died in the formation without knowing why.
Even though they were not slow in escaping, the low-level disciples of each sect had also suffered heavy losses. Adding up the one hundred plus sects, at least three hundred thousand low-level disciples had turned into blood and died …
How hateful! The cultivators of the one hundred plus sects originally came to snatch the Wind Snow Words and the slate. However, they did not expect to fall into the trap of the Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan and were almost sacrificed to them.
However, if it wasn't because they were blinded by greed and came to the Giant Devil Clan to stir up trouble, how could so many of their disciples have died? They indeed deserved it.
Everyone's resentment was transferred to the Seven Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan. They must settle the score with him.
The Chongxu Elder of the Lan Ling Sect, Zheng He, the master of the Yang Heaven Palace of the Rain Palace, Marquis Shen Jian of the Ice Mountain Sword Sect, Fairy Miao Yi of the Wonderful Sound Valley, Zen Master Xuankong of the Profound Sky Temple, the master of the Six Flames Sect, the master of the Nirvana Valley … These remaining seven Void Refinement Realm cultivators were going to demand an explanation from the Seven Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan.
"Hmph, isn't this the previous patriarch of the Giant Demon Clan, King Ju Lu? He wants to use the cultivators of one hundred sects as sacrifices. What a good plan! It's a pity that we didn't die. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you! "Marquis Divine Sword furiously slashed at Monarch Giant Deer.
"Disappointed? Why should I be disappointed? I was worried that the Progenitor Tree was injured, but now that I see that the Progenitor Tree is safe and sound, I can finally relax. My grand plan will not be destroyed, and I will not be disappointed! The flowers of the ancestral tree are about to bloom. All of you must die here today to pave the way for me to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm! Break my clan's slave mark? Ridiculous! How could the Progenitor Tree have the ability to break slave marks!? Moreover, why would this old man painstakingly scheme for the sake of some clansmen? "
"Every man for himself, and heaven and earth destroy him! This tree is planted by this old man only to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, not to save anyone! The time has come. No one can stop my plan! "
King Ju Lu sneered. He floated towards Monarch Giant Deer's sword, allowing Monarch Giant Deer to slash him into a mist of blood.
Marquis Divine Sword was stunned. He did not expect that he could kill Monarch Giant Deer with a single strike. After all, Monarch Giant Deer's cultivation level was higher than his by a small realm.
However, at the next moment, Marquis Divine Sword was shocked to discover that under the ancestral tree in the crack in the sky, a mist of blood suddenly condensed and formed the appearance of Monarch Giant Deer!
Monarch Giant Deer could actually be reborn after death! This greatly exceeded Marquis Divine Sword's expectation.
It seemed like as long as the ancestral tree was not destroyed, no matter how many times Monarch Giant Deer died, he would always be reborn under the tree!
This was the Undying Devil Tree that was left behind by the progenitor of the Giant Devil Clan!
Monarch Giant Deer sneered. The blossoming of the ancestral tree had already reached the final stage. No one could stop him from breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm!
He revealed the original plan in his mind. The six old ancestors including Ju Yan were stunned and found it hard to believe!
"Old Ancestor Giant Deer, what did you say?! You said that this ancestral tree does not have the ability to break slave marks of my clan? Is this true?! You said that we sacrificed ourselves, countless members of our clan and even Xueyan just to let you break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm … Is this true?! "The few old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan questioned.
"Of course, what I said is true! All of you are just being used by me. Now, all of you no longer have any value to me. You can't escape death! I will let all of you die knowing the reason for your many years of hard work! All of you are just my chess pieces. That's all! "Monarch Giant Deer smiled sinisterly.
Old Ancestor Ju Yan's eyes were filled with boundless anger. The same anger also appeared in the eyes of the other old ancestors.
They had always thought that everything they did was for the sake of their clan. They always thought that what they did was noble and great.
However, it was only now that they sadly realized that everything they did was actually being used by someone else. They had actually become someone else's stepping stone … Who would be willing to accept this?!
Especially Ju Yan. After all, he was Feng Xueyan's grandfather … He had always thought that sacrificing Feng Xueyan was for the prosperity of the clan. Now, it seemed like the biggest mistake he had made in his life was hurting Xueyan … Moreover, he would never be able to make up for it!
He looked at Feng Xueyan who was below him. Feng Xueyan was still being burned by the devil blood and she was unconscious due to the pain … For a moment, guilt and sorrow filled his heart. Ju Yan closed his eyes in agony. As her grandfather, he actually wanted to send Feng Xueyan to her death with his own hands … And all of this was just because he was being used by someone else …
How stupid! Ju Yan, you are so stupid!
"Giant Deer! This old man and you … won't stop until one of us is dead! "
Ju Yan seemed to be filled with guilt, madness and anger but he could no longer vent his anger!
He turned into a ray of travelling light and dashed towards the ancestral tree, swearing to kill Monarch Giant Deer. However, he could not make up for the guilt in his heart!
Seeing Ju Yan's attack, Monarch Giant Deer sneered cruelly.
Marquis Shen Jian and the other Void Refinement Realm experts were stunned. They did not expect that the seven ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan would have an internal conflict.
However, after being stunned for a while, Marquis Shen Jian and the others decided to watch from the sidelines.
Ning Fan did not rush towards the ancestral tree. He did not intend to watch from the sidelines either. He sensed an unprecedented dangerous qi from the ancestral tree.
As soon as he sensed something unusual about the ancestral tree, Ning Fan was alarmed. He grabbed Yue Lingkong and flew backwards!
Before Yue Lingkong could ask him what happened, a great change suddenly occurred in heaven and earth.
On the ancestral tree, the first blood-red rose gently trembled!
At the moment when the first rose trembled, the ancestral tree suddenly shot out a vine that was as thick as a bowl. It pierced through Ju Yan's armor at an unbelievable speed and penetrated his dantian!
The destructive force of a casual stab from the bloody tree was already close to that of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack!
Ju Yan let out a muffled groan. His dantian had already been destroyed. He used all of his strength to swing his sword at the vine but he could not damage it at all.
The vine suddenly dragged him to the front of the ancestral tree.
At this moment, a huge ferocious mouth suddenly appeared on the body of the ancestral tree. It was filled with sharp teeth. When it opened its mouth, it swallowed Ju Yan into the ancestral tree and chewed him to pieces.
Ju Yan, a dignified Void Pierce Stage expert, was actually devoured by the ancestral tree!
As for his flesh and blood, it turned into nourishment for the ancestral tree!
After devouring Ju Yan, the first blood rose blossomed completely. Its petals were as red as blood!
"The first one!" King Ju Lu licked his lips with a sinister smile.
Marquis Shen Jian and the other Void Refinement Realm experts turned pale with fright.
What exactly was the origin of that ancestral tree? It actually killed a Void Pierce Stage expert with just a vine!
Yue Lingkong began to feel scared. If she was not saved by Ning Fan in time, she would have ended up like Ju Yan.
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
After the first blood rose blossomed, a whiff of evil fragrance was emitted.
Wherever the fragrance spread, many cultivators turned into pus and died. This evil fragrance was much scarier than the formation light of the Sea of Sin.
The ancestral tree even pulled out one million vines and pierced them at the Void Refinement Realm experts of the one hundred plus sects including Marquis Shen Jian and the remaining five old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan.
Judging from King Ju Lu's actions, he actually wanted to borrow the power of the ancestral tree to kill the Void Refinement Realm experts first.
Countless low-grade cultivators of the one hundred plus sects were immediately killed or injured. Countless magic treasures bombarded the vines but none of them could hurt the vines of the ancestral tree.
The five old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan were greatly shocked. They turned around and fled immediately. The five of them were just Void Inquiry Stage experts. Their cultivation levels were lower than Ju Yan's. How could they resist the ancestral tree?
They were filled with regret. They hated themselves for trusting King Ju Lu so easily. They hated themselves for hurting their clansmen. However, it was already too late …
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
The five vines caught up to the five old ancestors as if they had teleported. They easily pierced their dantians and bound them tightly. When the vines retracted, the five old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan were swallowed into the huge mouth of the ancestral tree and died!
The ancestral tree continuously bloomed five blood rose blossoms!
"There are six of them now!" King Ju Lu said excitedly.
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
The vines pierced the Void Pierce Stage elder of the Lan Ling Sect, nearly scaring him to death. His scalp went numb.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the sect master of the Six Flames Sect and the Yang Heaven Palace Lord in front of him and threw them towards the vines, using them as meat shields.
After two miserable shrieks, the sect master of the Six Flames Sect and the Yang Heaven Palace Lord were pierced to death by the vines respectively. Their corpses were then dragged back to the ancestral tree.
With the help of the two meat shields, the elder of the Lan Ling Sect desperately tried to escape. However, a vine pierced through him from the side.
The lives of the three Void Refinement Realm experts added three more blood rose blossoms to the ancestral tree.
"There are nine of them now!"
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
The four vines pierced towards Marquis Shen Jian, Fairy Miao Yi, Abbot Xuankong and the master of the Nirvana Valley respectively.
The four of them no longer dared to flee. They knew that if they did, they would die even faster. The only thing they could do was to resist with all their might!
"Void Sword Technique, Heavenly Light Swaying!"
"Sound Transformation Technique!"
"Devil Subduing Seal!"
"Nirvana Fist!"
The four of them each unleashed their strongest attacks. However, their strongest attacks were not much stronger than Yue Lingkong's moon blades. How could they hurt the vines?
The vines remained unscathed and pierced into the dantians of the four Void Refinement Realm experts.
Four blood-curdling screams resounded. The four of them died and became food for the ancestral tree!
On the ancestral tree, three more blood rose blossoms bloomed. The fourth one had yet to bloom. Once it does, the ancestral tree could only produce twelve blood rose blossoms.
Everything happened in an instant. In just an instant, all the Void Refinement Realm experts were killed!
If it wasn't because Ning Fan retreated quickly, it would be difficult for him and Yue Lingkong to resist the vines of the ancestral tree.
At this moment, all the Void Refinement Realm experts and the other ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan were dead. King Ju Lu's gaze finally shifted to Ning Fan and said with a cold smile.
"Twelve blossoms. It seems like the blood rose has already bloomed to its limit. The number is already sufficient. Next, there's only one last step left … By watering the ancestral tree with Feng Xueyan's blood, the twelve blood rose blossoms will bear Ancestral Devil Fruits! As long as I consume these twelve Ancestral Devil Fruits, I will certainly be able to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm in one go! "
"Zhou Ming, oh Zhou Ming. Do you know that this ancestral tree is a devil tree left behind by the ancestors of my clan? Once it blossoms, even a Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip would find it difficult to damage it. Only a true Void Fragmentation Realm expert can destroy this tree! Are you a Void Fragmentation Realm expert?! You will never be able to destroy this tree and you will never be able to protect Feng Xueyan! "
"If you want to destroy the ancestral tree, you will need a miracle. Unless you instantly transform into a Void Fragmentation Realm expert. However, you know that there are no miracles in this world!"
King Ju Lu's smile became even more sinister. He suddenly formed a hand seal and the vines of the ancestral tree trembled again.
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
At this moment, countless vines aimed at Feng Xueyan at the same time and pierced towards her!
After killing Feng Xueyan, they would also slaughter all the cultivators in this place!
Each of the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects and the seven venerated beings were filled with despair.
Just like what King Ju Lu had said, this ancestral tree was too terrifying. Only Void Fragmentation Realm experts could suppress it. However, where were the Void Fragmentation Realm experts? Who could save them?
There were no miracles in this world anyway.
Ning Fan already knew how terrifying the ancestral tree was. If these vines pierce down, even if Feng Xueyan was protected by Su Yan and the others, she would not be able to escape death …
He did not care how many cultivators of the one hundred plus sects would die. Feng Xueyan was the only one who should not die in this conspiracy!
He suddenly let go of Yue Lingkong and soared into the sky alone, facing the thorns of the vines that blotted out the sky.
He was just like the butterfly that rushed towards Immortal Emperor Zhang Qing resolutely in the past.
"I'll give you a miracle!"
His mind sank into the Yin Yang Locket and connected with Luo You's mind.
With great tacit understanding, Luo You slowly transferred her magic power into Ning Fan's body through the Yin Yang Locket. Ning Fan did not even need to ask for it.
Ning Fan closed his eyes. His aura force suddenly rose in an instant!
Mid Reckless Devil Realm, Late Reckless Devil Realm, Peak Reckless Devil Realm … Revered Devil Realm!
All of a sudden, he turned into a giant Revered Devil Realm that was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall. He had two horns on his head, eight wings on his back and ghost eyes on his brows. He stood in heaven and earth with an imposing aura force that could crush the world.
This was a Revered Devil, an existence that could defeat all Void Fragmentation Realm experts at the same level as him!
The giant waved his hand and the power of the ancestral talisman spread out. The vines that were powerful enough to kill a Void Refinement Realm expert collapsed one after another!
All the cultivators were stunned. Each of the low-grade cultivators was suppressed by the giant Revered Devil Realm's aura force. All of them prostrated themselves on the ground. They could not even stand straight!
However, the moment the Revered Devil Realm appeared, the entire heaven and earth trembled as if they were afraid of the return of an Revered Devil Realm devil!
The aura force of an Revered Devil Realm devil nearly suffocated King Ju Lu!
He could not believe the scene in front of him even if he dies. Ning Fan had really turned into a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator in an instant!
How could he believe that Ning Fan's body could give out a Void Fragmentation Realm aura force at this moment?!
He tried to resist Ning Fan's aura force. However, in just an instant, he was shaken by Ning Fan's aura force, causing blood to flow out of his mouth and nose. He was severely injured and on the verge of death!
What kind of terrifying devil blood was this? The grade of this devil blood was so high that it was not something that King Ju Lu could imagine.
"Impossible! I don't believe it. This is fake!" King Ju Lu roared.
"Revered … Devil …" The giant wore a pained expression. It was as if he could not control this power that did not belong to him and the backlash was extremely severe.
However, his eyes were filled with determination.
No matter what methods he had to use, he had to protect his obsession. If his obsession is destroyed, heaven and earth would be buried together with him!
"Star … Punishing … Bow …"
The giant's essence qi was earth-shattering. With a wave of his hand, he condensed a huge black gold bow.
The power of mountains and rivers flowed into the huge bow while the power of the stars condensed into an arrow.
When the arrow was aimed at King Ju Lu and the ancestral tree, even the tree itself began to tremble.
"Zhou Ming, stop! Stop! " King Ju Lu screamed crazily. He could never understand why Ning Fan could actually obtain the power of a Void Fragmentation Realm expert in an instant.
"Die …"
The giant's tone was still cold as he suddenly drew his bow. Mountains and rivers began to collapse as wind and snow swept through the sky.
The bow was drawn and the arrow was released! The entire Endless Sea was shaking violently!
King Ju Lu looked at the arrow light and felt that there was no longer any chance of survival.
All of their plans would go up in smoke under this arrow.
"This old man started cultivating the Evil Dao at the age of seven, Vein Opening at the age of eleven, Harmonious Spirit at the age of nineteen, Core Formation at a hundred years, Spirit Severing at a thousand years and Void Refinement at another thousand years … But Void Fragmentation Realm is hard to ascend to heaven …"
"I risked everything just for the Void Fragmentation Realm. In the end, it was all for naught. Perhaps the cultivation of Dao is a futile struggle. No matter how high one's cultivation base is, one will eventually die one day … However, this old man has been painstakingly planning to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm as soon as the progenitor tree bears a fruit … This old man is unwilling to give up! I can't accept this! "
Boom!
The arrow landed with a boom, as if the sky was falling.
King Ju Lu and his ambition vanished into thin air. The indestructible progenitor tree also withered under the Star Punishing Arrow.
Ning Fan could no longer withstand Luo You's magic power. He returned to his human form and stared at the withered progenitor tree in silence.
At the moment the progenitor tree withered, Feng Xueyan had already stopped burning her devil blood.
Is it finally … over …?
The surviving cultivators of one hundred sects, more than ten or twelve, each of the cultivators who were lucky enough to not die, looked at Ning Fan's eyes, all of them were incredible and shocked.
"This Zhou Ming has really destroyed the progenitor tree!"
...
Countless sects in the eight hundred cultivation countries were in chaos because the life tablets of their disciples were shattered.
What was most terrifying was that nine out of ten Void Refinement Realm sects that had participated in the muddy waters of the Giant Devil Clan had lost their Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
Other than the Martial Ancestor Realm, the Profound Sound Valley, the Six Flames Sect and the other sects were all shocked!
Even the Rain Sovereign was shocked by this!
The eight hundred cultivation countries had lost nine Void Refinement Realm experts in just one night. This did not include King Lan Ling's second primordial spirit.
Countless Divine Transformation Realm cultivators had died!
"What exactly happened in the Endless Sea?! Why do you sects have to go to that troublesome place for no reason?! "
In the Rain Palace of the Middle State, the Rain Sovereign sat on his jade throne and roared at the deputy sect masters of the one hundred plus sects below him.
This is great … The vitality of the Rain World has been greatly damaged!
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" This time, the Rain Sovereign was truly enraged.
...
Ning Fan's face turned pale. He thought to himself that he might not be able to use his magic power recklessly for a few months.
Under the withered progenitor tree, Ning Fan suddenly turned his head in alarm. He saw a lady in red robes standing behind him out of nowhere.
"It's you? What are you doing here? " Ning Fan was surprised. It was Hong Yi whom he had met once on the Thunder Bamboo Island. According to Ning Fan's guess, this lady's true identity was probably the Thunder Sovereign.
"I have a way to save the progenitor tree. It has already bloomed twelve blood roses. As long as you water it with Feng Xueyan's blood, you will be able to obtain the fruits of the progenitor tree … Do you want to try to kill Feng Xueyan and break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm?" Hong Yi teased.
"You want me to kill my sister to prove my Dao?" Ning Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.
If it is someone else who had nothing to do with him, Ning Fan would definitely be ruthless enough to use their blood to nourish the ancestral tree and break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm in one go.
However, if it was Feng Xueyan, he would definitely not agree to it.
"I will use my own method to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm. I won't kill her."
"That's a wise choice. Even if you kill Feng Xueyan, this tree will not bear fruit. It will only bloom … King Ju Lu's dream of attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm will never come true. Many people spend their entire lives, but they don't know that the flower they hope to bloom will never bear fruit … "
"This tree doesn't bear fruit?" Ning Fan was slightly surprised. Then, he stroked the twelve blood roses on the ancestral tree. These blood roses were exchanged with the lives of Void Refinement Realm cultivators. None of them had withered yet.
Upon closer inspection, these blood myrtles were all male flowers …
How could a male flower bear fruit? Only female flowers bear fruit, don't they?
Fortunately, King Ju Lu did not check on the Blood Cress. If he did, he would probably die from anger.
The Void Fragmentation Realm that he was pursuing was just like daydreaming.
Or perhaps, it was just like what King Ju Lu had said. The path of cultivation was originally a futile struggle …
"You didn't come to me just to talk about these topics, did you? What exactly do you want to talk about? "
"Have you forgotten that you still have a deal with me?!" Hong Yi's blood-red eyes flashed with cold light. If Ning Fan really forgets what he promised her, she might just kill him on the spot.
Ning Fan felt extremely helpless. How could he dare to forget the promise he made with the Thunder Sovereign?
This woman changed her attitude way too fast …
A feeling of weakness suddenly filled Ning Fan's entire body. He almost fainted.
From the looks of it, I really need to lie on the bed for some time …
