Chapter 42

In Heishi Cheng.

At the end of the city gate not far away.

Sky-shattering black mist surged over; that black mist was like boundless magic clouds, sweeping past and swallowing everything in the city.

"Pitch-black ghost mist!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon's expression was incomparably gloomy.

As a Martial Monarch, one of the strongest fierce beasts under the Hei Diao Wang, it naturally knew the horror of the pitch-black ghost mist in Jiemie Ghost Ridge; once death Qi enters the body, even a powerhouse as strong as a Martial Monarch cannot resist it.

Now that the Hei Diao Wang was not here, those pitch-black ghost mists appeared here.

This Heishi Cheng, he feared, was in danger!

"Everyone retreat from the city for me!"

It roared.

Flashed and appeared before the surging pitch-black ghost mist.

With a wave of its hand, endless heaven and earth power roared out; they surged in all directions, like a giant palm, pushing horizontally toward the vast pitch-black ghost mist, wanting to push them all out of the city.

The Hei Diao Wang left it behind!

It had the responsibility of guarding the city!

If it truly let this pitch-black ghost mist swallow Heishi Cheng, once the Hei Diao Wang returned, he feared it would be difficult to explain.

Rumble!

The two forces collided, the momentum earth-shattering.

That pitch-black ghost mist seemed to have encountered an obstacle, suddenly stalling.

The Hei Diao Wang's expression turned happy.

This pitch-black ghost mist, although terrifying, was not impossible to resist.

As long as it could block them outside the city, even if they were terrifying, they would have no influence on it.

"Roar!"

It let out a long roar.

About to unleash even stronger power, in one go, to drive this pitch-black ghost mist out of the city.

But suddenly, behind the stalled pitch-black ghost mist, an even more vast pitch-black ghost mist surged over; that ghost mist was like thousands of giant waves, one higher than the other, almost instantly passing over the heaven and earth power that was blocking it.

"What!"

The purple-gold fierce falcon's expression changed greatly.

Before it could act again, it was swept into the pitch-black ghost mist.

The pitch-black ghost mist continued to roll forward!

Moments later, it swallowed most of Heishi Cheng.

"Ah, help!"

"Run!"

"Heishi Cheng is about to be swallowed!"

In Heishi Cheng.

Countless fierce beasts left behind screamed and shouted, fleeing toward the outside of the city to save their lives.

But, except for a few.

Most of the other fierce beasts were swallowed by the pitch-black ghost mist.

Below Martial Sect, as long as they were eroded by death Qi, their vitality would be cut off instantly, and they would fall to the ground and die.

Even above Martial Sect, they couldn't hold on for a moment; as long as they didn't escape Heishi Cheng in the first time, they would be entangled by death Qi, at best damaging their origin and affecting future cultivation, at worst closing their eyes and waiting for death.

The entire Heishi Cheng was bleak!

Not long after.

Heishi Cheng was finally completely shrouded in pitch-black ghost mist.

The fierce beasts that luckily escaped the city also scattered and fled, heading toward the depths of the endless wilderness.

And at this time, Lu Li appeared amidst the thick pitch-black ghost mist.

His figure flashed rapidly, without the slightest pause.

This place was the residence of the Hei Diao Wang!

The place of worship for the million-mile fierce beasts!

Although the fierce beast army in the city had been cleared, he dared not stay too long, otherwise, once the news spread, reinforcements from fierce beast armies left behind in various places would arrive.

Even if he had sky-high abilities, he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Firmiana Holy Tree!"

Lu Li pointed directly at his target.

Heading toward the main hall in the depths of Heishi Cheng.

The Firmiana Holy Tree is a tree of enlightenment and cannot be carried around; the Black Eagle King wanted to borrow it to practice at any time, so it must be hidden in the palace. Now that Black Stone City was shrouded in pitch-black ghost mist, all living beings were eroded.

The only thing that could survive must be that extremely holy Firmiana Holy Tree!

A few minutes later, Lu Li broke into the most magnificent palace.

Rushing all the way.

Arrived at a garden in the deepest part.

As soon as Lu Li stepped into it, a strong spiritual power rushed toward his face.

In the center of the garden, a green ancient tree about a yard high stood proudly; under the erosion of the pitch-black ghost mist, everything spiritual around it was scorched black and collapsed, only that green ancient tree shone brightly, emitting faint spiritual light, blocking all the pitch-black ghost mist that was eroding it.

"It's it!"

Lu Li's gaze was calm.

Only the Firmiana Holy Tree could block the erosion of the pitch-black ghost mist.

He took a deep breath.

With a wave of his hand, a point of golden light pierced toward that green ancient tree.

But at this moment, a roar came.

"Stop!"

This voice was like thunder.

The moment it appeared, it shattered that point of golden light.

Not far away, the pitch-black ghost mist surged rapidly, and a huge figure stepped out from it.

"Purple-gold fierce falcon!"

Lu Li's expression sank slightly.

He hadn't expected this Black Stone City leader to be so bold as to risk the danger of being eroded by death Qi to stop him from destroying this Firmiana Holy Tree.

"Human kid, you dare to destroy the Firmiana Holy Tree!"

Upon seeing Lu Li, the purple-gold fierce falcon roared.

Before, it had failed to block the pitch-black ghost mist, and it soon broke free and fled outside Black Stone City, but as soon as it left the city, it thought of the Firmiana Holy Tree in the depths of this main hall.

That was the holy object the Hei Diao Wang regarded as its life!

The city could be broken!

The Firmiana Holy Tree could not be lost!

Otherwise, when the Hei Diao Wang returned, it would definitely not let it go!

Thus, it went deep into the pitch-black ghost mist again, wanting to take the Wutong Holy Tree away.

But it hadn't expected that as soon as it arrived here, it would find a human kid taking action, wanting to destroy this Wutong Holy Tree.

This made it furious!

If the Hei Diao Wang's holy tree was destroyed by a mere human kid, it wouldn't need to wait for the fierce beast army to return; it could just find a place to bury itself alive.

"Human, go to hell."

The purple-gold fierce falcon roared.

Vibrating its wings behind it, it relied on its powerful physical strength to attack Lu Li.

"Hmph!"

Lu Li snorted coldly.

Similarly, he pushed the power in his body to the limit and met it.

Rumble!

In the depths of the main hall.

A violent tremor rang out.

But before a moment had passed, Lu Li spat blood and retreated.

Looking at the purple-gold fierce falcon continuing to pursue, his expression became somewhat solemn.

A Martial Monarch powerhouse is truly terrifying!

Even in this pitch-black ghost mist, he was far from being able to contend with it.

"Hoo!"

Lu Li took a deep breath.

He waved his hands violently, and the Source Power in his body surged out.

In this pitch-black ghost mist, thousands of palm prints condensed; those palm prints were all illusory, but each contained terrifying power, and the moment they appeared, they turned into countless streamers, merging into one in the air.

Boom!

Spiritual light bloomed!

A giant palm print appeared in the air.

Following the sword technique, this Phantom Cloud Hand had also been deduced to the limit by him, and now that it was fully unleashed, it was truly divine.

"You can actually remain unaffected!"

When the purple-gold fierce falcon saw the palm print condensing, its expression became extremely ugly.

Even as a Martial Monarch, in this permeating pitch-black ghost mist, it had to keep most of its power to block the ghost Qi from invading, and it dared not use any heaven and earth power or awakened supernatural abilities.

It only dared to fight with physical strength!

Otherwise, if death Qi entered the body, even it would be difficult to resolve.

But the human kid before it dared to use his full strength to fight, without worrying about death Qi erosion at all.

This, it couldn't believe!

"It's too early to be surprised now!"
