Chapter 367: Jianmu Tree Seed

Do not be fooled by the fact that the Fire Great Knight Aierwen's approach to the pale ancient tree went quite smoothly.

It seemed as if he had only bled a little from various places on his face.

In truth, the mental shock he endured, guided by the Void Mayfly, was enough to destroy the sanity of a Return to Void Great Ability.

It is just a pity that it encountered the Fire Great Knight Aierwen.

An anomaly among anomalies, possessing an Indomitable Will and capable of rivaling gods with a mortal body!

Being able to injure him solely through mental power is enough to say that this Void Mayfly's talent is not bad.

Aierwen sensed Qingxuanzi's request.

Yet, he shook his head slightly in the other's astonished gaze.

"The anomaly in this Dongtian is indeed very severe; in your eyes, it is already beyond saving."

"But in our eyes, it is not yet time to give up!"

Aierwen conveyed Su Ping's words, under the other's incredulous stare.

He stepped past the thin, tall ghostly shadow that Qingxuanzi had transformed into.

He arrived directly before the withered pale ancient tree, ignoring the baring of fangs and the screeching of the Void Mayfly above the treetop.

Although both eyes and ears were bleeding, Aierwen still maintained a smile as he reached out and pressed his hand against the pale tree trunk.

It was also at this moment that Su Ping chose possession mode.

Through Aierwen's physical contact, his Divine Power finally connected directly to the Jianmu Ancient Tree.

In an instant, Su Ping felt the pain and unwillingness within the Jianmu Ancient Tree's residual consciousness.

Clearly a heaven-sent divine object, yet it had fallen to such a miserable end today.

Never mind talking about nirvana and rebirth.

Right now, it could not even complete the current Dongtian creation transformation ritual to turn itself into a part of a Small World in hopes of a sliver of life.

In the end, it could only watch helplessly as it completely dissipated into nothingness...

"Let's first try to see if this can be effective for you."

Su Ping whispered, taking the Purification Potion and Abundant Spirit Water out from Aierwen's Storage Spirit Tool.

Su Ping first used the Purification Potion, injecting it into the Jianmu Ancient Tree.

Su Ping felt a surprised reaction coming from the Jianmu Ancient Tree.

But immediately after, a message of lament followed.

Although the Purification Potion was miraculous.

If such a potion could have been encountered two thousand years earlier, perhaps It could have recovered.

But now, that bit of purification power would be contaminated back again as soon as a part was purified.

Even if Su Ping provided it continuously, it would be of no help to the Jianmu Ancient Tree's current state.

Su Ping frowned slightly; although he had long understood that as realms improved, the Purification Potion would no longer be a panacea.

Seeing now that it was difficult for it to be effective on the Jianmu Ancient Tree, he was still slightly disappointed.

Su Ping was not discouraged and switched to the Abundant Spirit Water.

He injected ten drops of Abundant Spirit Water directly.

The surging vitality and the power nearing the Heavenly Dao contained within it.

Caused the Jianmu Ancient Tree to suddenly tremble.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of fresh branches appeared on the withered trunk.

There were even leaves as green as gemstones growing.

It was as if the Jianmu Ancient Tree had gained the vitality and results of ten years of healthy growth out of thin air.

It was just that this was, after all, water without a source.

The moment the Abundant Spirit Water's effect dissipated, Su Ping saw those newly grown green leaves instantly wither and fall.

The branches also followed, turning pitch black as if in fast-forward, and finally turned into powder that drifted into the surrounding sky.

Although it was also not long-lasting.

The fact that Abundant Spirit Water could provide help made Su Ping heave a sigh of relief.

And after a brief exchange with the Jianmu Ancient Tree.

This time, Su Ping directly threw out one hundred drops of Abundant Spirit Water.

Causing the Jianmu Ancient Tree to grow more than several dozen meters taller in the blink of an eye!

Then, taking advantage of this new power before it was drained.

The Jianmu Ancient Tree chose nirvana and rebirth.

The pale ancient tree's trunk remained, and as the efficacy was exhausted, it withered and shrank again.

In Aierwen's hand, however, a pale tree seed suddenly appeared.

That was the seed of reincarnation formed after the Jianmu Ancient Tree's nirvana.

It was extremely fragile.

If not for being forced into a corner, it would never have transformed into such a state.

The Jianmu Ancient Tree naturally did not wish for this, but It had no choice.

If It did not take the opportunity for nirvana and rebirth given by this strange human before It.

Once that power dissipated, It would return to a state where It could do nothing at all.

Therefore, after receiving Su Ping's promise, even if It did not believe it, It had to take the gamble.

The moment the tree seed was in hand.

For the sake of caution, Su Ping immediately recalled Aierwen.

This caused the Void Mayfly, which had discovered the anomaly, to lunge in anger, only to strike at empty air.

Su Ping swept his gaze across the surroundings.

During that brief moment just now, the slender ghost shadows had also been basically swallowed into the Netherworld to receive the purification of a new world.

Oh, right, there was still one ghost shadow.

That slender ghost shadow of Qingxuanzi was still there.

Su Ping's intuition told him that for this guy to be assigned such an important task, not only was his status special, but his talent should also be in the top tier.

If he could be saved, naturally he still had to be saved.

Facing the enraged Void Mayfly and the sky that was becoming increasingly twisted and chaotic after losing the Jianmu Ancient Tree as a balancing point.

With a wave of his hand, Su Ping sent out a Five-Colored Divine Light to sweep up the Qingxuanzi ghost shadow.

At the same time, he threw hundreds of Talismans at the enraged Void Mayfly.

Although the Void Mayfly did not sense the danger of these Talismans, it instinctively chose to curl up for defense.

The next instant, these Talismans shattered simultaneously, revealing the strange creations inside.

They were individual one-time-use divine weapons from the technological side known as Nuclear Bombs.

They detonated all at once.

These several hundred high-yield Nuclear Bombs caused dozens of large and small Suns to suddenly appear in the sky.

The ultra-high temperature and special radiation at the center of the nuclear explosions had already reached the point of affecting space itself.

It was only because the range was too small and their own mobility was too poor that Nuclear Bombs were difficult for high-level Cultivators to be threatened by in the hands of technological civilizations.

Yet in the hands of a high-level Cultivator who had mastered the principles and understood how to use them, such as an outstanding prodigy like Su Ping.

They could produce a qualitative change on the battlefield.

Exerting effects that even Sixth Realm Talismans could hardly achieve.

For example, severely wounding an adult Void creature that normal Cultivator techniques found difficult to even touch, let alone harm.

Awooo!

The Void Mayfly was surrounded by the centers of nuclear explosions; in that instant, it had nowhere to escape.

This caused its body size to instantly shrink from the previous hundred meters to less than ten meters.

However, this was not enough.

Su Ping released the Xuangui Baxia.

He had it aim at the sky, open its big mouth, and inhale violently!

The Void Mayfly, which should not have been affected by any gravitational pull.

Was actually swallowed into the body of the Xuangui along with those high-temperature ionized light clusters produced after the nuclear explosions.

It was also at this moment.

Su Ping felt something in his heart, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he spoke in a low voice:

"You can feel that this Dongtian is abnormal, right?"

"Once it collapses, this space, which no longer belongs to the Canghao World, might appear in the external Dark Void."

"You have at least protected the human race for so many years; you wouldn't want to fall into the hands of the Son of Evil, or worse, be eaten directly by that Mother Goddess, would you?"

As soon as his voice fell.

A gap suddenly broke open in the ground.

The Taixu Wheel, a divine weapon of the Taixu Sect that had clashed head-on with Su Ping's Heaven-Turning Seal earlier, flew out from deep underground and then landed lightly beside Su Ping.

Artifacts have spirits.

So when it discovered during the great upheaval that everyone who could drive it had turned into ghost shadows, the Taixu Wheel chose to hide deep underground.

Now it also acknowledged Su Ping's statement, so it appeared reluctantly.

Su Ping smiled indifferently, not minding the resistance of this divine weapon.

Once they returned to the Pot Heaven, these divine weapons would slowly realize what a great honor it was to become his weapons.

After finishing all this, Su Ping originally intended to take advantage of the Taixu Cave Heaven being on the verge of shattering to see if there were any other good things.

But he suddenly shuddered slightly, seeing an anomaly above the Taixu Sect from the perspective of the spirit mouse he had left in the outside world.

Realizing that this was to eliminate future trouble.

Su Ping did not dare to continue staying in this Taixu Cave Heaven.

He took the divine weapon and the Xuangui, which was still digesting the Void Mayfly, and left this place together.

And after completely losing contact with the Void Mayfly.

This Taixu Cave Heaven suddenly plunged into absolute darkness.

And in the next instant, the space began to collapse from the inside out!

It was also at this time.

In the sky above this region where black Qi was boiling, twelve True Monarch Avatars, as large as mountains, surrounded a slender man wearing a dark robe and an Emperor's crown.

The slender man, wearing a mask on his face with only his long, narrow eyes exposed, appeared in the high sky.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down with a complex expression.

As the Emperor of the Canghao Continent, after he heard the report from the Qingyang Sect that Qingxuanzi's Life Tablet had shattered.

He knew that the one-in-a-million possibility he and the various True Monarchs had been looking forward to had failed, just as expected.

Not only had they lost a young generation prodigy who had hope of breaking through to the Return to Void Realm.

But they had also lost a sect that, while fallen, had a profound historical foundation.

And a region where at least hundreds of millions of citizens lived.

"For that one possibility, we have waited too long; the Evil Qi pollution has already penetrated deep into the ley lines of this region."

"We cannot wait any longer; we must act immediately to stop the pollution from worsening!"

"For this, we can only wrong the living beings in this region who have not yet had time to evacuate."

The Avatar of the Qingyang Sect True Monarch stroked his beard and sighed with compassion.

Immediately, he received the agreement of the surrounding True Monarch Avatars.

Then, the Emperor in the center also sighed and drew the Son of Heaven Sword from his waist.

It was a long sword that looked unremarkable.

But when it was held high by the Emperor's slender figure.

The heaven and earth of the entire Canghao Continent seemed to resonate with it.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, turning into a clear sky for ten thousand miles.

A phantom of a giant Sun appeared above the Emperor, shining upon the long sword, causing it to emit a dazzling Golden Light.

As that Canghao Emperor closed his eyes, he swung down the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand.

The giant Sun phantom in the sky then plummeted down abruptly.

In this instant, the Sun seemed to suddenly become a physical object.

Before it even touched the ground.

Everything on the ground required by the ley lines began to spontaneously combust under the extreme heat, and in the next moment, turned into ashes.

Rivers dried up, and the ground instantly cracked and collapsed.

Countless towns and villages, whether inhabited or not, also turned into flying ash in a brief moment.

Finally, the Sun crashed into the earth, sinking in with ease as if a hot knife were cutting through butter.

And in the next second, it made contact with the location of the ley lines.

Then...

Boom!

The massive explosive shockwave was felt by nearly half of the Canghao Continent.

The evacuees who had escaped and were sitting on the Immortal Boat looked back at the torrent of golden light that rose into the sky and obscured the horizon, feeling a lingering fear.

Within one of the Immortal Boat Fleets responsible for the evacuation, a Golden Core Cultivator who understood some of the rules frowned slightly.

A trace of unwillingness was hidden in his heart.

Clearly, if the disaster of the Evil Spirit had been dealt with from the beginning, at most one commandery's worth of land would have been affected.

And there would have been no need to be so ruthless; most people would have had time to evacuate safely.

Yet now, the territory of more than a dozen commanderies had been directly destroyed.

Furthermore, these regions would disappear entirely, and those evacuees would never have the chance to return home.

High in the sky, they waited for the soaring flames to gradually extinguish.

The True Monarch Avatars successively cast divine abilities, confirming that the polluted area below had been thoroughly purified.

Then, as the Emperor nodded slightly.

The ground below, which resembled a black hole, began to shrink and disappear.

Yet, no new ground was generated.

Instead, the land surrounding the black hole began to draw together, finally merging into one.

Except for the terrain having changed as a result.

Everything else seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Time waits for no one; since this plan has failed, the progress of other plans must be accelerated."

The Qingyang Patriarch Avatar scanned the restored ground and looked at his other old friends.

Seeing that several people were hesitating.

The Qingyang Patriarch said in a deep voice:

"All sacrifices are worth it!"

"After all, if we cannot find an opportunity to break through."

"The entire Canghao World will be reduced to ashes in the near future."

"Since we will die anyway, it is better to die for a worthy cause; perhaps it can even create a path of survival for us?"

The remaining True Monarchs, as well as the Emperor, actually understood this principle.

Otherwise, they would not have sat by and watched Qingxuanzi's actions.

Thus, some Side-Door Path methods that might cause ley line pollution or problems for the subjects were also instructed by the True Monarchs to be tested by their disciples in the Canghao World.

Not long after Su Ping finished watching the Son of Heaven Sword make the Sun fall to destroy a region and then left.

The Canghao World began to experience large-scale Evil Qi pollution incidents one after another.

Even on a small planet controlled by a major sect, an Evil Spirit disaster occurred.

The entire planet even turned into a super-large Evil Spirit and merged with a high disciple of a certain True Monarch, displaying combat power not inferior to a True Monarch and recovery power far exceeding them!

This made the already difficult defensive line even more precarious.

Su Ping, however, did not know any of this.

He used a Teleportation Talisman to return directly to the Biyuan World.

This made Tian Rulai once again surprised by his special divine ability.

And he constantly pondered in his heart which kind of divine ability or strange object could allow a Cultivator to come and go with ease to any place they had visited before.

And without the slightest worry that this process would be blocked by the power of Small Worlds or interfered with by the omnipresent Space Turbulence.

Tian Rulai originally wanted to ask more about the situation.

But after Su Ping took out the Jianmu Tree Seed, his eyes filled with a look of wonder.

Keeping silent, she chose to trust Su Ping one hundred percent.

At the same time, she also guaranteed to Su Ping that her countless clones distributed throughout the Dark Void would all rush back to the Biyuan World.

Thereby, during the period before and after Su Ping merges with the Building Wood.

Ensuring the absolute safety of the Biyuan World, this main base!
