The limit of the Tianming Ancient Tree was 1,000 meters tall. If it didn't break the limit and become the Tree King, it wouldn't reach 2,000 or 3,000 meters. Once it broke the limit, it would crazily absorb the nutrients around it and grow, reaching a new limit of 10,000 meters in a short period of time!
As for how the Tianming Ancient Tree could break the limit, Chen Zong didn't know, and neither did the Demon Heart. It wasn't worth delving into this point.
The 10,000-meter-tall Tree King's branches and leaves covered a radius of tens of thousands of meters, like a huge umbrella covering the sky and the sun. Each leaf was more than five or six times larger than the leaves of an ordinary Tianming Ancient Tree.
When Chen Zong stepped into the coverage of the Tree King, he immediately felt something different. The aura was very cold, twenty to thirty percent colder than outside the shade of the tree. Whether it was the density or the purity of the Nether Qi here, it was twenty to thirty percent higher than outside.
This was brought about by the Tree King.
The Tianming Ancient Tree could absorb the Nether Qi around it. The absorption effect of ordinary Tianming Ancient Trees was relatively weak, but the absorption effect of the Tree King was amazing.
In addition to feeling that the Nether Qi here was denser and purer, Chen Zong also felt a chill that seemed to emerge from the deepest part of his body and quickly spread along his spine.
He was being targeted.
He was being targeted by a powerful underworld beast. Its cold and cruel gaze was fixed on Chen Zong, making Chen Zong's hair stand on end. He felt as if a slippery poisonous snake was coiling around his body.
It was a python, a python that was coiled around a tree trunk about a thousand meters away from Chen Zong. Its body was even thicker than Chen Zong's entire body. The patterns on its body were dark and deep, densely packed, and looked very complicated. Anyone who saw it would feel dazzled. If one's willpower wasn't strong enough, they might even feel dizzy.
However, Chen Zong didn't feel dizzy, but his expression was solemn.
A high-level underworld beast. This was a high-level underworld beast, a giant python.
The giant python's shattered scarlet eyes stared at Chen Zong. Its huge forked tongue continuously flickered as its huge body slowly slid across the incomparably huge tree trunk, gradually approaching Chen Zong. An extremely terrifying sense of danger was approaching.
If it was before, Chen Zong would have immediately exploded with his fastest speed to escape. But now, there was no need for that. Instead, a bright light shot out from his eyes as he stared at the giant python.
Nether beasts had a strong sense of territory. The Heavenly Underworld Fruit, even the Heavenly Underworld King Fruit, was of no help to a top-level nether beast. After all, it was equivalent to a Dao Master.
Therefore, the underworld beast that occupied the Ancient Heaven Underworld Tree King was only a high-level underworld beast and not a top-level one. However, it was a very powerful high-level underworld beast. Otherwise, it would not have been able to occupy such an excellent place of mystery like the Ancient Heaven Underworld Tree King.
It should be known that the Nether Qi here was richer and purer than in other places, which was conducive to the cultivation and improvement of the underworld beasts. Moreover, the Heavenly Underworld King Fruit condensed by the Ancient Heaven Underworld Tree King was many times more effective than the Heavenly Underworld Fruit, and it was more helpful to the underworld beasts.
It was the instinct of the beasts to occupy a mountain and make a boundary, especially the powerful ones.
Now, Chen Zong had entered the territory of the Ancient Heaven Underworld Tree King, which was tantamount to invading the territory of this powerful high-level underworld beast, the giant python. He had angered it, and it also regarded Chen Zong as food and was about to eat him.
The slowly moving giant python suddenly trembled and shot out. Its huge body instantly shot out like lightning. Like a black lightning bolt, it directly closed in on Chen Zong. It opened its bloody mouth and a foul stench assaulted Chen Zong's face. It was like a stinking storm that swept over, causing Chen Zong to suffocate.
Retreat!
In an instant, Chen Zong used the Instantaneous Space Sword Technique and turned into a sword-light, escaping into the void and rapidly retreating.
However, although the Instantaneous Space Sword Technique was mysterious and amazing, the gap between the Yuan Underworld Stage and the Transcendent Stage was too great. Chen Zong discovered that no matter how he escaped, the bloody mouth was still chasing after him. It was as if it was rapidly closing in on him as he escaped into the void.
Chen Zong did not panic, as Senior Mo Xin had appeared.
He stood in the void with his hands behind his back. His indifferent eyes were like the eyes of a god, as if he could see through the giant python.
The giant python's bloody mouth suddenly bit down, but Mo Xin waved one of his arms and slashed out a pitch-black blade-light like a demonic blade. The blade-light was peerless and unparalleled, sweeping everything before it.
Chen Zong could only see a streak of pitch-black saber light shooting out. It seemed very mysterious, but he couldn't tell how mysterious it was.
In the next moment, its bloody mouth paused for a moment, and the python's astonishing body suddenly trembled. Strange sounds came from its body, and in the end, as if its spine had been pulled out, it became limp and fell directly from the tree trunk.
This was a very thick python that was more than a hundred meters long. Even if it was killed, its corpse still exuded an astonishing pressure that would not dissipate in a short period of time.
"Thank you, Senior." Chen Zong expressed his gratitude to Devil Heart.
"I am your contracted Deity, when you run into danger that you can't resist, I will naturally lend you a hand" The Devil's Heart smiled, "This Thousand-tattoo Pluto is a top-notch high-level underworld beast. Its combat prowess is probably at the peak of the Eleven Star of the Transcendent realm."
Chen Zong was shocked when he heard that.
Peak Eleven Stars of the Transcendent Realm!
If he was hit by this kind of combat prowess, he would die without a doubt.
However, Senior Devil Heart could kill it with a single slash. This kind of strength was at least at the peak of the Twelve Star of the Transcendent realm. But looking at the way it was played down, it didn't seem to be as simple as the Transcendent realm.
He took out the dark nucleus from the Thousand-tattoo Pluto's body with ease. It was larger than the previous dark nucleus, and the power contained in it was more majestic and violent.
In addition to the harvest of this high-level dark nucleus, what made Chen Zong even more excited were the fruits hanging on the tree.
Each fruit was the size of a human head, and its color was dark purple, and it was constantly deepening.
It was not yet mature, but it was approaching maturity. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it completely matured.
This was the Tianming King Fruit borne by the Tree King. It had many times the effect of the Tianming Fruit, and it was also quite effective for the Transcendent realm. It was far more valuable than the Tianming Fruit.
Wait!
Without hesitation, Chen Zong made a decision. He must wait and get these Tianming King Fruits.
Unfortunately, Chen Zong found that the number of Tianming King Fruits was not many, only a few hundred. Such a big Tianming Ancient Tree King could only produce a few hundred Tianming King Fruits. The yield was really low.
However, the effect of a few hundred Tianming King Fruits was definitely better than ten times the number of Tianming King Fruits.
After Chen Zong took out the dark nucleus, the tyrannical pressure emitted by the Thousand-tattoo Pluto's corpse dissipated much faster. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the pressure completely dissipated. At that time, other Nether Beasts would come to fight for the Tianming Ancient Tree King and make it their own territory.
Chen Zong restrained his aura and sat on a wide and thick trunk, comprehending and cultivating the Three Intents of Heart.
"The One Heart Sutra is really a mysterious technique." Devil Heart was secretly amazed.
When he was alive, there were only four palaces in the Will Heavenly Palace, and there was no One Heart Palace. At that time, the One Heart Sutra had not been created yet.
Judging from Devil Heart's realm, the One Heart Sutra was indeed very mysterious and amazing. If he was alive, he would also want to cultivate it, but now he couldn't. Now, he was a Divine Spirit formed by the combination of his remnant soul and mind. He couldn't master any new techniques, divine abilities, and so on.
Whatever strength he had now, he would still have the same strength in the future. This was something that couldn't be changed.
However, this didn't hinder Devil Heart from comprehending the mysteries of other techniques and divine abilities. It was like watching the process of making a delicious food and smelling its flavor.
Not long after, when the Thousand-tattoo Pluto's pressure completely dissipated, Nether Beasts immediately rushed over from afar. The Tree King's attractive force was very attractive to Nether Beasts.
The Tree King was ten thousand meters tall and extremely hard. Middle-level Nether Beasts couldn't damage it at all, and high-level Nether Beasts also couldn't damage it.
Chen Zong didn't immediately attack, and neither did Devil Heart because there was more than one Nether Beast approaching. It was a good opportunity for them to fight and determine the winner. When the winner was about to divide the Tree King into his own territory, he would suddenly find Chen Zong and Senior Devil Heart, who was invincible. It would be very exciting.
Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself. He realized that he had a little bad taste.
The battle was intense. The Nether Beasts were huge. Once they fought, the momentum was astonishing.
Middle-level Nether Beasts didn't dare to approach because the pressure of high-level Nether Beasts was too strong.
At this time, a huge Nether Lion that was hundreds of meters in size appeared. The lion's body was pitch-black, burning with raging Nether Fire. The aura it emitted was incomparably powerful. Its eyes were deep and dark, and a pair of fangs protruded out. It looked extremely ferocious.
With the appearance of this giant lion, the other Nether Beasts trembled.
In the end, the giant lion drove away or killed the other Nether Beasts and occupied the Tree King as its own territory.
This was another top high-level Nether Beast. It wasn't inferior to the Thousand-tattoo Nether Python that originally occupied the Tree King.
This kind of Nether Beast's perception was amazing. It immediately sensed the existence of Chen Zong and immediately let out a terrifying roar in the direction where Chen Zong was. Layers of sound waves carried a terrifying power that could destroy dry weeds and smashed rotten wood, bombarding directly like a destructive storm.
Chen Zong's hair stood on end. In front of this terrifying sound wave, he felt that he was going to be destroyed directly.
At the critical moment, he still had to rely on Senior Devil Heart.
It couldn't be helped. A top high-level Nether Beast was equivalent to a top Transcendent Realm elite. The gap between Chen Zong and a Transcendent Realm elite was still too big.
As soon as Devil Heart appeared, he waved one of his arms. It turned into a pitch-black saber light that instantly broke through the air and slashed out. It directly split the layers of sound waves that were bombarding in an incomparably violent manner. The power contained in the saber light was extremely shocking. When it split the layers of sound waves, it also shattered the sound waves. It couldn't affect Chen Zong at all.
Like a hot knife through butter, the saber light slashed across the sky and killed the Nether Lion directly.
