167. Chapter 167: Semi-Saint Puppets! The True Bodhi Ancient Tree

Thousands of feet away, an ancient tree with an extremely huge shade was standing alone on this vast plain.

A wisp of clear Qi rippled above the ancient tree, sometimes changing into various shapes, appearing magical and unpredictable.

A look of joy appeared on Ye Ming's face; after such a long time, he was finally about to reach his destination.

"Is this the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree..."

Looking at the ancient tree in the distance that permeated an ancient atmosphere, as if connecting the entire world, he was also a bit happy.

However, Ye Ming was not panicked; looking at the huge Bodhi Ancient Tree in the distance, he understood in his heart that this was the greatest danger.

It gathered the negative emotions of the Dou Di, and itself possessed several Semi-Saint puppets. Wanting to obtain the Bodhi Heart and the enlightenment under the reincarnation tree was not that simple.

Having reached this step, naturally, it was impossible to say anything about giving up.

He waved his hand, and the dark cloud-like My Strength phantoms rushed toward the front first. No matter how strong the power possessed by the ancient tree was, he had no fear.

After passing through the obstruction of the beast tide, there were no other obstacles on this road. In the blink of an eye, Ye Ming led the My Strength phantoms and crossed a hundred feet of distance, arriving under this Bodhi Ancient Tree that blocked the clouds and the sun.

Ye Ming looked up at this Bodhi Ancient Tree, feeling different in his heart.

Viewing it from a close distance, he felt that this Bodhi Ancient Tree was particularly spectacular. That thousands-of-feet-large trunk was like a pillar supporting the sky, connecting heaven and earth. On this trunk, a rich ancient atmosphere permeated.

The shade of the tree was vast, spreading out, as if covering the entire sky.

Standing under this ancient tree, one could smell strands of rich clear Qi emanating from the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

The sunlight in the sky searched for the gaps in the Bodhi Ancient Tree, drilling through the shade and spilling down, and those light pillars made the entire giant tree add a strange scene like a dream and illusion.

Just at this time, Ye Ming's gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of shade, seeing that a hundred feet up the ancient tree, there was a bright light flickering. This light was like an energy heart about a foot in size, faintly bursting with the sound of powerful beating.

"Bodhi Heart..."

Ye Ming had just murmured, when a subtle rustling sound suddenly rang out on the Bodhi Ancient Tree, like the sound made by the wind blowing the leaves.

However, Ye Ming saw clearly that the dense branches on the Bodhi Ancient Tree suddenly intertwined, hanging down from the shade.

When these intertwined branches touched the ground, they slowly split open. Five domineering figures containing terrifying momentum stepped out slowly from within, expressionless!

Accompanied by the stepping out of these five figures, the space between heaven and earth suddenly rippled violently. Strands of terrifying pressure suddenly permeated out.

Semi-Saint-level puppets! Ye Ming knew clearly in his heart that these were all Semi-Saint powerhouses who had originally sought the Bodhi Heart but were trapped by the Bodhi Ancient Tree's illusion, and then completely indulged in it, being refined into puppets! As early as when he saw the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he knew this would happen. How could he not have made preparations in advance?

Looking closely, above the dense Ye Ming phantoms on Ye Ming's head, there was a bright light group.

Those phantoms had long since temporarily integrated their own power into it.

When five figures walked out from the branches, Ye Ming had already pushed out two palms.

"Boom boom!!"

The giant handprint formed by the integration of millions of Force Path phantoms seemed to want to blast the entire sky apart! The moment the two giant trees appeared, the space within a thousand feet was instantly drained! Just as those five phantoms broke free from the control of the branches, two giant handprints had already blasted over one after another.

Boom!!

A heaven-shaking loud sound came out, and the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree shook wildly at this moment. Countless leaves drifted down from the sky, as if it were raining leaves.

However, those leaves hadn't landed before they were shaken into powder by that bursting aura.

The ancient tree shook, and those five Semi-Saint puppets hadn't even had time to make a move before they were slapped into the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

However, these Semi-Saint puppets were indeed strange; before their heads were shattered, even if they suffered such a powerful attack, they still struggled to crawl out from the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Looking closely, the arms of two of these five Semi-Saint puppets were blasted, and the other two had their legs broken.

But there was no expression on their faces at all, and they still tried to rush toward Ye Ming in the distance.

Unfortunately, at this time, Ye Ming's second Myriad I Giant Handprint followed closely.

"Boom!!"

Another heaven-shaking explosion, and that thousand-foot ancient tree even swayed, revealing countless roots rooted in the earth.

The earth churned, and a faint consciousness suddenly entered Ye Ming's mind.

"Pain..."

A curve hooked on Ye Ming's face, but he did not respond to this consciousness.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and he saw the tough heads of those five Semi-Saint puppets explode on the spot. Pale pulp and bright red broken flesh mixed with the bones, completely shattering.

"Ka ka ka!"

A series of crisp sounds came out, their heads exploded, and the several Semi-Saint puppets suddenly became stiff. Following a strange fluctuation permeating from them, their physical bodies aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into gray powder, dissipating in the air.

The Myriad I Giant Handprint that gathered millions of Ye Ming phantoms, just two palms, collapsed five Semi-Saint puppets.

Looking at the Bodhi Ancient Tree that had returned to silence, Ye Ming said faintly: "Do you still want me to make a move?"

The wind blew, and the remaining leaves on the Bodhi Ancient Tree were still rustling. A hundred feet away, that heart flickering with light was still beating incessantly.

However, there was no response in his mind.

Seeing this, Ye Ming shook his head, waved his hand, and collected all the My Strength phantoms in the sky into his Force Path Immortal Aperture.

The remaining matters, these Force Path phantoms placed in the outside world, had no effect.

He looked up at the energy heart flickering with fluorescence, and with a "xiu" sound, flew upward.

This Bodhi Heart was just a bait. The real Bodhi Heart was still hidden in the ancient tree.

A hundred feet distance, arrived in the blink of an eye. When Ye Ming arrived before the heart flickering with fluorescence, a brilliant light burst out from above, turning into a beam of light, enveloping him within it.

Ye Ming was not surprised at all, letting this beam of light envelop him, and then dragged him into the trunk of the ancient tree.

Opening his eyes again, white light filled his field of vision.

He stood in this world of white light, surrounded by desolation. He sensed that his memory seemed a bit disordered.

A huge white light circle appeared before him; he had no fear, stepping into it in one step.

Suddenly, Ye Ming found himself standing in the starry sky, surrounded by flowing star rivers, countless stars rotating in the starry sky.

With a thought, a very, very tiny star rapidly expanded, and finally, with a "peng" sound, it shattered with a boom.

With a wave of his hand, the star river seemed like a silk ribbon, winding around his fingertips. The stars in the sky, the survival of living things, were all between his thoughts. Pushing forward, it was reversing the river of time. Pulling backward, millions of years of time passed quietly.

At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of the heavens and worlds.

He can manifest a clone at will, capable of traversing the heavens and myriad worlds, holding sway over countless planes. With a single thought, new planes are born.

At this time, the universe was destroyed but he was not destroyed; the worlds were shattered but he himself survived forever. Eternal and immortal, living in the past, present, and future.

Ye Ming grinned lightly, playing with the star river ribbon in his hand, and said with a faint smile: "This illusion is more interesting than the Heart Demon Tribulation."

"However, it is false after all. The immortality I pursue is not something others can give."

His surging soul power poured out, almost filling the heavens and worlds. He shook, and this world twisted violently, finally like a mirror, exploding with a "peng" sound.

Space shattered, and when Ye Ming opened his eyes again, he found himself in a space filled with emerald green.

In this space, an ancient tree about ten or twenty feet tall seemed to have been standing here all along.

This tree was entirely emerald green, like glowing emerald jade, releasing a shocking vitality.

This tree was exactly the same as the thousand-foot-large Bodhi Ancient Tree outside. It was just that it looked countless times smaller.

Looking at this small Bodhi Ancient Tree before him, Ye Ming knew clearly in his heart that the illusion just now was created by this thing.

He looked at this glowing green tree, and a sense of testing arose in his heart, saying: "I know you want to expel the negative emotions of the Dou Di, I can help you, what can you give?"

"Don't use things like Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed as bargaining chips."

"Because even if you don't give them, I will snatch them."

The swaying posture of the emerald ancient tree suddenly stopped, and after a good while, it shook wildly again.

It was as if a high-speed machine had suddenly had its set program changed, and because of the program conflict, it stalled and shook.

Seeing this, Ye Ming shook his head helplessly.

He originally thought that this Bodhi Ancient Tree had survived for so long, its intelligence must be very high. But he didn't expect that these words could disrupt its program.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking. What do you want me to do?" He spoke quite helplessly.

The emerald ancient tree that had been shaking violently stopped shaking after hearing Ye Ming's words.

It swayed its shade slightly, and a white light group slowly emerged. Within this light group, there was a Bodhi Ancient Tree ten thousand feet high.

In front of this ancient tree, a black-clothed figure stood in the air, a kind of aura as if the supreme being of heaven and earth slowly spread from within this person's body.

Under this aura, even that ten-thousand-foot-large Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared very small.

Ye Ming looked at the scene before him, and even though he knew it in his heart, he was also slightly shocked.

The huge aura released from that black-clothed figure had already proven that he was the limit of this world, a Dou Di! In the light group, that black figure stood before the ten-thousand-foot-large Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Suddenly, this figure began to attack the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Facing the attack of that Dou Di, the Bodhi Ancient Tree permeated strands of terrifying energy. In this kind of terrifying confrontation, the heaven and earth in that light group collapsed.

Ye Ming looked at the scene in the light group, and a long-lost feeling of watching a movie arose in his heart.

He simply sat on the ground, plucked a few milk tea flowers from the Immortal Aperture, drank them, and watched the scene in the light group in the sky leisurely.

Just at this time, he felt a strange change in his body, and the Samsara Watch on his left wrist also vibrated one after another.

Taking a sip of the milk tea flower juice, Ye Ming clicked on the system watch to check.

"Killed one member of the hostile camp Fire Spirit Clan, rewarded with this instance's buff: Energy Source (All energy recovery speed increased by twenty percent.)"

"Killed one member of the hostile camp Nether Giant Ant Clan, rewarded with this instance's buff: Death Cross Medal (Can set an anchor point, resurrecting at full state at the anchor point after death. If not set, will resurrect on the spot.)"

"Killed one member of the hostile camp Winged Human Clan, rewarded with this instance's buff: Absolute Defense Skill once (Can absolutely defend against any form of attack once, duration ten seconds.)"

Looking at these messages, joy rose in Ye Ming's heart.

It seems that the several major clones have had a good harvest, having already solved three aliens.

He glanced at the watch map and found that many red dots on it were distributed in a circle, gathering in one area. However, the distance between these red dots was still very far.

Clearly, the aliens were not fools. If there were aliens possessing special communication means, they could naturally release this news.

However, Ye Ming didn't care about this; those clones outside were not displayed on the watch map.

The feeling of sitting back and reaping the benefits was indeed very cool.

Closing the watch, Ye Ming continued to sip the milk tea flower, placing his gaze on the light group before him.

The great battle on it was still continuing; in the light group, the picture paused at the last scene, where that black figure was suddenly hit fiercely by a destructive wind that swept from outside the light group.

That black figure, along with this heaven and earth, exploded into nothingness.

Clearly, this was the Bodhi Ancient Tree joining forces with another Dou Di to suppress and kill that black-clothed Dou Di.

In that nothingness, strands of black airflow suddenly emerged. After these black airflows appeared, they quickly rushed into the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Accompanied by the influx of these black airflows, the clear Qi permeating the Bodhi Ancient Tree suddenly added a hint of obscure coldness and evil.

"Peng!!"

The light group exploded suddenly, turning into an invisible object, integrating into Ye Ming's mind.

Having experienced many information infusions, he was very familiar with this set of processes. Almost in a moment, he digested the information contained in this light.

Simply put, it was because after that Dou Di died, the negative emotions integrated into the Bodhi Ancient Tree's main body, trying to compete with it for control of the body.

Its intelligence was not high, and when competing with the Dou Di's negative emotions for control of the body, it had always been in a stalemate.

Now, within its body, it was equivalent to having two intelligences. One was the kind intelligence that originally belonged to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and one was the evil intelligence generated by the black-clothed Dou Di's negative emotions.

The one that just attacked Ye Ming was precisely the puppet and illusion controlled by the black-clothed Dou Di's evil intelligence.

However, Ye Ming's attack was too strong, directly breaking through the control of the evil intelligence.

Also because his surging soul power burst out in the illusion just now, temporarily injuring the black-clothed Dou Di's evil intelligence, allowing the Bodhi Ancient Tree's original intelligence to gain the upper hand and briefly obtain control of itself.

Seeing that the process was over, Ye Ming spoke again to the emerald ancient tree before him: "Then you want me to help you dispel that Dou Di's negative emotions, right?" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
