"This is …"
The scene unfolding in front of him alarmed Yi Yun. Although he knew that the Azure Wood Divine Tree was the bane of the bronze giants, he never expected that the Azure Wood Divine Tree would directly transform the bronze giants' servants into Yuan Qi and absorb them.
What was the origin of the Azure Wood Divine Tree?
Yi Yun guessed that the mysterious woman with the Nine Transformations Red Lotus at her glabella might have transplanted and nurtured the divine tree from a particular primordial era. It was born to be the bane of the bronze giants and their servants.
Even the Purple Crystal, which symbolized the Great Dao, was unable to absorb vital energies. As for the Azure Wood Divine Tree, it did not seem to have such limitations when facing the bronze giants.
Yi Yun looked at the Azure Wood Divine Tree in his dantian. It had already grown from a seedling into a tiny tree. It was about twenty feet tall, and each leaf was engraved with Great Dao patterns. It looked tender and lush, filled with vitality.
Yi Yun stroked his chin and could not help but think that since the Azure Wood Divine Tree could absorb the demonic servants, was it possible for him to wipe out the gathering grounds of the demonic servants?
Although according to Senior Divine Dream, the slumbering grounds of the demonic servants were nothing impressive, their slumber was ultimately a latent danger to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. Once the demonic servants were born, it would definitely cause a calamity even if it was not enough to wipe out all life.
Furthermore, these demonic servants seemed to be very beneficial to the Azure Wood Divine Tree. They could accelerate its growth.
When Yi Yun broke through to the Dao Manifestation realm, his four nine-leaf Dao fruits were borne on the Azure Wood Divine Tree. Later, when he broke through to the Dao Palace realm, his Nine-treasured Dao Palace fused with the Azure Wood Divine Tree. From this aspect, the growth of the Azure Wood Divine Tree was closely related to the improvement of Yi Yun's cultivation realm.
After making up his mind, Yi Yun aimed at another dilapidated tomb. After slicing open the tomb, Yi Yun saw the blood ice buried in the tomb.
The red ice crystal had been sliced open by the pure Yang broken sword, but there was nothing in the ice crystal.
It was an empty blood ice coffin.
Yi Yun frowned slightly when he saw this. He consecutively sliced open a few more tombs, but they were all empty.
Back when Dong Xiaowan and the Jadewave Sect entered, Dong Xiaowan had been possessed by a demonic servant. But from the looks of it, the demonic servant that had awoken was not the only one in Dong Xiaowan's body.
It was likely that there were other demonic servants that had awoken and left the ancient ruin.
Upon realizing this, Yi Yun felt apprehensive.
These demonic servants would not cause a disaster the moment they appeared, but they would definitely appear. Now, they were only slowly awakening from their slumber.
With the passage of time, more and more demonic servants would recover their strength and wreak havoc in the outside world. When that happened, it would be even more troublesome.
"I want to kill these demonic servants before they recover their strength."
Yi Yun cracked open another tomb and found another demonic servant.
Upon sensing Yi Yun's appearance, the demonic servant let out a sharp shriek. But before it could react, it had been sealed by Yi Yun's spatial cage.
An azure tree appeared behind Yi Yun as it instantly transformed the demonic servant into Yuan Qi and absorbed it. This was the power that the demonic servants had accumulated over countless years of slumber. All of it had been converted into nourishment for the Azure Wood Divine Tree.
"Next."
A glint flashed in Yi Yun's eyes. Even mortals could kill a bear in hibernation. Furthermore, Yi Yun had the Azure Wood Divine Tree. It was the nemesis of the demonic servants. It was effortless for him to kill these demonic servants.
Slowly, Yi Yun sensed that the Azure Wood Divine Tree was absorbing more and more energy. It slowly grew taller as its leaves became more luxuriant.
However, when Yi Yun repeated the same pattern and allowed the Azure Wood Divine Tree to absorb more than a hundred demonic servants, Yi Yun suddenly had an ominous feeling.
He took a slight step back and at that moment, a black storm stirred in front of Yi Yun.
In his energy vision, one demonic servant after another opened their eyes. Dark red beams shot out from their eyes.
"Pa! Pa!
Pa! "The blood ice coffins underground exploded one after another. One demonic servant after another charged out of the blood ice coffins. Having been awakened from their slumber, they were infuriated and wanted to devour everything around them.
"Oh no!"
Yi Yun's heart sank. He had awakened the slumbering demonic servants after all. Now, there were twenty to thirty thousand demonic servants. Even with the Azure Wood Divine Tree, it would be difficult for him to kill all the tens of thousands of demonic servants.
Fortunately, Yi Yun could sense through his energy vision that although there were many demonic servants in front of him, most of them were like premature fetuses that had been forcefully awakened. Their bodies were weak and they posed no threat at all.
Furthermore, after all the demonic servants discovered Yi Yun, they were clearly afraid of him. They did not dare to approach him at all.
Yi Yun held the pure Yang broken sword in hand as he looked at the black mass of demonic servants in front of him. He was fully on guard and he guessed that the demonic servants would eventually swarm him. When that happened, he would be in danger. Once he failed to withstand the onslaught, he might be devoured clean by tens of thousands of demonic servants.
"Roar —"
At that moment, a demonic servant let out a roar. It was several times larger than the other demonic servants and its color was darker. It was obvious at a glance that it was an expert amongst the demonic servants.
Yi Yun saw the strong demonic servant's body shimmer and imagined that it would lead the charge at him. But at that moment, a scene that surprised Yi Yun happened. The demonic servant suddenly turned around and bit a much weaker demonic servant beside it. In a few bites, it devoured the demonic servant!
"What?"
Yi Yun was somewhat taken aback. With the strong demonic servant leading the charge, the other demonic servants began to engage in battle. The strong demonic servants devoured the weaker demonic servants, but the weaker demonic servants did not put up any intense resistance. They were devoured as though they had accepted their fate.
As for the demonic servants that devoured their own kind, they became stronger. Soon, the tens of thousands of demonic servants were reduced to about eight or nine thousand. Upon seeing this scene, Yi Yun finally understood that the demonic servants were using such a method to rapidly accumulate energy.
Due to his existence, the demonic servants had no choice but to awaken ahead of time. Only by devouring their own kind could they make up for this loss.
"Die!"
How could Yi Yun let them have their way? With a long roar, the pure Yang broken sword in his hand burned with Yang flames. It was as though a radiant sun had appeared out of thin air in the icy cold underground world.
At the same time, Yi Yun injected all of the Azure Wood Divine Tree's powers into the strike. As the sword beam slashed out, the divine tree's powers and pure Yang powers spewed out. Everywhere it passed, demonic servants were burned by the sword beam and melted away!
"Ah, Ah, Ah!"
The demonic servants screamed as they fled in every direction. At that moment, the Azure Wood Divine Tree's phantom image appeared behind Yi Yun. He charged into the demonic servants and began a massacre!
The Azure Wood Divine Tree's branches shot out in every direction like green whips. Wherever the whips passed, demonic servants would be sliced apart at the waist before exploding into a rain of light.
