After making up his mind to take a risk, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about anything else.
Xiao Chen quickly collected the golden Life Juice Source. His surroundings did not change much. The group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks seemed to have gone crazy, surrounding the Tree of Life and roaring continuously.
As if his stamina couldn't be depleted at all, the clan head in the lead looked extremely anxious.
It could sense that the Tree of Life's aura was weakening bit by bit, and it couldn't help but grow even more anxious.
Since ancient times, the Tree of Life had been a god-like existence to their tribe.
If it were to suddenly collapse, it would be like how some humans lost their faith. The consequences would be unpredictable.
There were several times that he wanted to pull the Tree of Life back, but out of respect for it, he didn't dare to touch it. He could only follow behind it.
The script was similar to what Xiao Chen expected. As more and more of the Life Juice Source was absorbed, the Life Juice Source disappeared.
That gigantic Tree of Life slowly floated up from the bottom of the starry sea. When it finally emerged from the water, the group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks also surfaced.
The several hundred Black Star Sawtooth Sharks went berserk, creating huge waves on the starry sea. It looked like a terrifying storm.
Xiao Chen, who was in the tree, had already collected one thousand kilograms of Life Juice Source. However, when he looked at his surroundings, he could not bring himself to smile.
In such a situation, the moment Xiao Chen poked his head out, he would immediately be torn apart and eaten by this group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
There would be no second path for them to take if they were to die without leaving even their dregs.
"What should I do?"
The Life Juice Source in the tree hole was no longer pure. Xiao Chen stopped collecting it, his expression clearly troubled.
In this kind of situation, he really had no idea at all. He couldn't show his head at all.
He could only wait, wait for the Tree of Life to die completely. Then, he would see if these Black Star Sawtooth Sharks would leave.
However, even if the tree died, this group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks would probably not leave. They would think of a way to drag the tree back to their nest.
Moreover, if the Tree of Life died and its bark's defenses weakened, the Starry Sea would corrode it, exposing him.
No matter how he thought about it, the current situation did not seem optimistic.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a disturbance. The life aura of the Tree of Life, which had been dropping all this time, suddenly stopped and started to slowly rise.
This …
Xiao Chen quickly released his Spiritual Sense and saw that the Tree of Life floating on the sea had tens of thousands of complicated roots and branches.
Like tentacles, they all pierced into the body of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief, absorbing its flesh and blood to replenish itself.
Surprisingly, the chief of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe, an existence with heaven-defying strength, did not resist.
This scene shocked Xiao Chen for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he understood. These Trees of Life grew by relying on the prey that the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks brought.
Relying on absorbing the flesh and blood of the chief of the Sawtooth Sharks to sustain his life, it made sense.
However, this group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were normally savage and ferocious. Unexpectedly, they would go crazy for the so-called divine item.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, it was more or less not worth it.
Of course, all of this wasn't the main point. The main point was that his current situation didn't look optimistic.
Half a day later …
The aura of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief had already weakened significantly. However, its aura still gave off waves of horrifying might.
On the contrary, the Tree of Life had completely stabilized, and its life aura was rising bit by bit.
Over the Starry Sea:
A flat, sea-blue merchant ship traveled on the sea and arrived in this region.
"Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?"
"Heavens! A tribe of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks! Quickly go around! Go around!"
Several dozen figures appeared on the ship.
None of them had low cultivations. With one glance, it was clear that they were not the ship's guards. However, with just one glance, they quickly hid in the ship.
If it were a regular stormy land, they could barge their way through. However, there was a group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks in there. They could only spend some time going around.
Following that, some adventuring cultivators and ships passed by this turbulent sea region. When they saw the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, they did not bother to look.
Instead, they chose to stay far away.
However, in this vast Grave Sea, clearly, not everyone feared the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks. There would always be experts.
The sky turned dark.
A boundless aura tore through the air and pushed back the countless waves under the tremendous aura. Translator: XephiZ Editor: DOCuinn
As this aura descended, it forcefully suppressed the vast waves that the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks kicked up.
Then, this aura merged with the surface of the sea. Immediately, no more waves appeared.
The wind was calm, and no waves could be seen. The torrential rain stopped, and the vast sea could be seen clearly.
Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, felt slightly shocked.
"A late-stage Major Primal Core expert!"
However, this late-stage Major Primal Core expert was several times stronger than the Elders of the Purple Sun City's three major sects.
This puzzled Xiao Chen somewhat. After thinking for a while, he understood.
The Grave Sea's Spiritual Energy was very dense, and the space was of a higher level. The gravity there was also several times that of the outside world.
Cultivators who grew up in such an environment were definitely stronger than those in the outside world.
It was just like how the Sky Dome Realm's Martial Sages were like paper before the Kunlun Realm's Martial Sages.
This also proved why an initial-stage black-clad arhat of the Black Lotus Church could kill the three elders without being able to retaliate, even though he was only an initial-stage black-clad arhat.
"Fluorescent Tree?"
"Master, is it really the legendary Tree of Life of the sea? However, doesn't this tree live at the bottom of the sea?"
A grey-haired old man in a long gray robe passed by this sea area with two young men.
Without the obstruction of the storm and waves, they could easily see the gargantuan Tree of Life surrounded by the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
The gray-robed old man entered deep thought, finding it strange as well. He smiled and said, "This fortuitous encounter is really a coincidence. This Tree of Life has lived for at least ten thousand years. The Life Juice Source in its body is probably of the highest quality. However, even if it is not of the highest quality, it is still rare to see. "
"Life Juice Source?"
A clear light flashed in the eyes of the two youths.
The person on the left seemed to have heard of Life Juice Source before. "I heard that when one bathes in this Life Juice Source, it can allow the body to undergo a rebirth. If it is a heaven-defying outstanding talent with a Great Desolate Eon bloodline, it would be a tonic among tonics. Its effects would be several times greater. "
"That's right."
The gray-robed old man smiled and said, "Although the two of you do not have a Great Desolate Eon bloodline, this Life Juice Source will still be of great benefit to you. Even to me, it will be extremely beneficial.
"If the two of you can have this Life Juice Source, not to mention anything else, you will be able to achieve a physical body comparable to a Primal Core Venerate's within two years. Furthermore, the firmer your foundation, the greater your chances of breaking through. Your future accomplishments go without saying. "
Upon hearing this, the two youths appeared somewhat excited. The two of them were peak Yang Essence cultivators. It was hard to say when they would reach the half-step Primal Core Stage.
With this Life Juice Source, Xiao Chen's future became bright.
However, the gray-robed old man's next words immediately chilled the hearts of the two.
"However, it is just wishful thinking. The Black Star Sawtooth Shark in the middle is as strong as a Cloud Sea cultivator. The hundreds of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks around it are not easy to deal with, either. "
This fortuitous encounter was indeed extremely rare. However, it was still lacking.
The two youths revealed extremely dispirited expressions. They even felt like dying.
On the other hand, the gray-robed old man revealed a calm expression, very accepting of this. As one grew older, one had seen many things and experienced many things.
The gray-robed old man had once seen an ancient sect's Dao Tool in a forbidden Remnant. Many experts had rushed up and died in it.
Sometimes, many things were not necessarily yours just because you saw them.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, the gray-robed old man's expression changed slightly. He focused his Mental Energy in his eyes and looked into the distance. Then, his gaze landed on the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief.
The gray-robed old man discovered that the roots of the Tree of Life were all stabbed into the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief's body.
"So, that's how it is. A dying Tree of Life and a Cloud Sea Black Star Sawtooth Shark that only looks impressive."
The gray-robed old man revealed a smile. Just as he was about to leave, he changed his mind.
A look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Master, what's wrong?" The two disciples noticed that something was wrong.
The gray-robed old man smiled mysteriously. "This fortuitous encounter might really be a fortuitous encounter. I'll send a message to inform my two junior brothers to come over."
