Chapter 1288: The King of Stone
Ning Yue's heart skipped a beat when he heard the King of Stone's voice.
Ning Yue could clearly feel a terrifying aura locking onto him. If he dared to activate his Yuan Qi, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
"How disloyal."
Ning Yue wanted to contact the sapling, but found that it had already fallen silent. No matter how hard he tried, there was no response.
"Dear King of Stone, I mean no harm. It's all because of the Blood Demon Venerable. I was forced to disturb you by him."
Ning Yue immediately understood the situation. He quickly got up from the ground and said, "I'm only a late-stage fifth-grade Human Supreme, but the Blood Demon Venerable has the fighting strength of a peak-stage ninth-grade Human Supreme. There's nothing I can do if he's forcing me."
"Huh? How dare you lie in front of me! "
The King of Stone's face turned cold. "I think you're tired of living!"
"I'm telling the truth. The Blood Demon Venerable said that as long as I enter the Three Stone Caves with him, he will give me half of the World Tree Branch inside." In order to calm the King of Stone, Ning Yue had to use the World Tree to stop the King of Stone.
"What did you say? The World Tree?!"
As expected, Ning Yue's words worked.
The King of Stone picked up Ning Yue and said, "Follow me to the Three Stone Caves."
Whoosh!
Carrying Ning Yue, the King of Stone turned around and left in a hurry.
"You two stay here. Without my permission, don't let anyone or any Demonic Beasts in!"
The King of Stone might be big, but he was very meticulous.
He didn't even tell his two subordinates about the World Tree.
The first time he tried to get the World Tree Branch from the Blood Demon Venerable, he was tricked by the Blood Demon Venerable. The Blood Demon Venerable sealed the World Tree Branch in the Three Stone Caves right next to him.
He could only stare at the World Tree with an itch in his heart.
Now that the Blood Demon Venerable was killed, he felt that his chance had come. He wanted to enter the Three Stone Caves again and take the World Tree out.
"What should we do?"
Outside the Three-Stone Cave, the Dark Emperor and Zhan Ba were flustered.
They wanted to save Ning Yue, but they lacked the strength to do so.
Putting aside the powerful Stone King that had kidnapped Ning Yue, the Dark Emperor and the others had no way of dealing with the two Stone Beasts at the entrance of the Three Stone Caves.
"Let's wait for an opportunity to strike."
Zhan Ba said calmly.
Now that the two stone beasts were frightened, they would definitely be highly focused. At this time, it would be very difficult to use a secret technique to lure them away.
Zhan Ba decided to wait. As long as the two stone beasts were distracted, he would immediately attack!
"Sigh, that's the only way."
With a light sigh, the Dark Emperor muttered: "Ning Yue should not be in danger for the time being, I need to raise my strength as soon as possible!"
"Zhan Ba, protect me. I'm going to break through to Fifth Grade Human Supreme!"
The Dark Emperor seemed to have made up his mind as he said in a deep voice.
"What? Are you kidding me? " Hearing the Dark Emperor's words, Zhan Ba was shocked: "You are only an Early Fourth Grade Human Supreme. How can you break through to Fifth Grade Human Supreme in such a short time?"
"Furthermore, even if you manage to reach the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, you still won't be able to save Ning Yue."
"Since the Stone King did not kill Ning Yue immediately, it means that Ning Yue is not in danger for the time being. All we need to do is wait!"
"I'll find a way to contact Ning Yue." Biting his lips, the Dark Emperor forced out a drop of Blood Essence and used a secret technique to contact Ning Yue.
Buzz!
At the same time, in the Three Stone Caves.
Ning Yue's expression changed slightly.
"I'm fine. Don't act recklessly."
Ning Yue cautiously told the Dark Emperor not to act recklessly.
"What are you doing!"
However, Ning Yue's subtle movement did not escape the Stone King's eyes.
"Don't play any tricks. In the Three Stone Caves, I am the absolute ruler." The Stone King said proudly.
"Then why did you fall for the Blood Demon Venerable's trap?" Ning Yue rolled his eyes and mumbled.
"Hmph! The Blood Demon Venerable is cunning. He used the World Tree as bait. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for it? You don't know how important the World Tree is to us stone beasts. "
"I know."
Ning Yue said, "Stone beasts are born with huge bodies and can't shrink. If you can refine the branches of the World Tree, not only will your strength have a qualitative improvement, but you can also transform into a human form."
"There are three ways for stone beasts to take human form. First, reach the Sky Supreme level. Second, consume the Transformation Fruit. Third, swallow the World Tree."
"Oh, you know a lot." The Stone King raised his eyebrows.
"I do know a lot. I even know how to take out the sealed branch."
Ning Yue continued.
"What?! You can break the seal?! "
The Stone King released his aura and said coldly, "If you can help me break the seal, I will give you a small piece."
"Thank you, Stone Monarch." Ning Yue was overjoyed and immediately said with gratitude.
Although he said that, Ning Yue didn't think so.
Stone beasts were violent by nature. Ning Yue knew why the Stone King didn't kill him.
If he was right, the Stone King wanted to use him as an experiment to see how to break the seal left by the Blood Demon Venerable.
Since the Stone King wanted the branch, Ning Yue might as well pretend to be courteous.
"Let's go. The branch is sealed in the deepest part of the Three Stone Caves."
The Stone King grabbed Ning Yue's shoulder and dashed into the depths of the cave.
Both Ning Yue and the King of the Stone Nation had their own plans.
The King of the Stone Nation wanted to use Ning Yue to break the seal and take the branch of the World Tree. Ning Yue thought the same and took the branch at the critical moment.
"Let's go!"
Soon, Ning Yue followed the Stone King to the deepest part of the Three Stone Caves.
Seeing the location where the tree branch of the world was sealed, Ning Yue opened his mouth slightly and cursed.
Lava!
The place where the branch was was surrounded by lava.
It wasn't ordinary lava. It could even melt a Royal Rank flying sword!
"Help me break the seal," the Stone King said.
"Gulp."
Ning Yue swallowed. "Stone King, I'm only a late-stage fifth grade Human Supreme. I'll be severely injured if I come in contact with the lava."
"I know this lava very well." The Stone King patted his chest. "The lava will recede every hour. That's the best time for you to break the seal."
"I want to know how much time you can give me." Ning Yue hesitated.
"Three minutes."
The Stone King said.
"I can't break the seal in three minutes." Ning Yue said bluntly, "I can only understand the structure of the seal in three minutes. I don't have time to break it."
"We have plenty of time. If the first time doesn't work, we can try the second time. If the second time doesn't work, we can try the third time."
