Chapter 2391

There's a treasure!

What a special aura, this is definitely a rare treasure!

Uh-oh, the tree spirits are going to seize it!

All the powerhouses noticed that clump of red, soft substance, realizing it was something precious.

Before they could act to seize it, the red-leaf trees themselves first began to scramble for that substance.

rustle

The speed at which the trees moved was also very fast; they were Star-level powerhouses, not ordinary trees.

When Xiao Feng had just seen the treasure and hadn't yet had time to approach, the trees around the Tree King that hadn't died all simultaneously began to scramble, branches stabbing, you come I go, attacking each other to drive off.

Attack!

The human side had no time to distribute the spoils, fearing the treasure would be devoured by the alien trees, so they struck again, launching a new round of bombardment at those red-leaf trees.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom~

Another fierce assault, and once again dozens of red-leaf trees were seen to have fallen in battle.

Unfortunately, they were unable to stop the trees' treasure-seizing behavior.

One 4-meter-tall red-leaf tree, after the two large trees in front of it were blasted to death, smoothly rushed forward, extended its roots to entwine that clump of red, soft substance, and devoured it.

The next moment, an abnormality suddenly erupted!

Hum~

The earth shuddered, and that 4-meter-tall red-leaf tree actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly surpassing 5 meters in height!

Its aura is surging!

Xiao Feng and the others all noticed that the tree which had swallowed the red, soft substance, in an extremely short time, shifted from mid Star-level to late Star-level, and without pause continued onward toward the Eternal level.

Xiao Feng gave a cold snort, twelve swords shooting forth!

Swish—swish—swish!

The sword light pierced the tree that was in the midst of evolving.

Within one second, each purple sword pierced

Fourteen times, with ultra-high frequency and tremendous destructive power, directly interrupting the growth of the evolving red-leaf tree.

Bang~

Its trunk exploded, its life source destroyed, and it died on the spot.

Phew, good...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as no Eternal-level enemy appeared, and the pressure lessened considerably.

At the same time they realized Xiao Feng's strength surpassed theirs; having cultivated for just over a thousand years, he possessed such power, which was truly terrifying.

Look quickly! That red treasure has appeared again!

At that moment, a clump of red light flashed into view.

At the very spot where the red-leaf tree trunk slain by Xiao Feng had been, a clump of red substance identical to the previous one unexpectedly condensed again.

Obviously that thing does not disappear; consuming it causes a living being's power to surge, but when the living being dies, it separates out again.

This is definitely not an ordinary treasure!

Realizing this, the Eternal-level powerhouses grew ever more eager, heedless of danger as they lunged fiercely into the red-leaf forest.

Xiao Feng stood a bit farther away; he had originally wanted to seize it, but seeing so many people rush forward and that many red-leaf trees were still alive, he frowned slightly and temporarily abandoned the idea.

At this moment, seizing the treasure would make him the target of everyone.

Although obtaining the treasure would cause his power to surge, if he were besieged there would still be a risk of death.

He was uncertain whether the newly acquired treasure would affect his condition; if, during the fusion process, he could not use the Chaos Escape Technique, that would be disastrous.

Humans and plant life were locked in mêlée combat, growing ever more intense.

Although the human side was few in number, their cultivation span was long, their foundations deep, and with many treasures they gradually gained the upper hand.

The number of red-leaf trees sharply dwindled to fewer than 500, the human side

The formation's casualties were fewer than ten, and those seriously wounded who retreated also numbered only about ten; victory was already near.

At this point, the struggle over that clump of red substance also had a result.

The beautiful and noble Snow Spirit Lord seized the treasure and swallowed it in one gulp.

This female controller is a member of the human race's minor branch, the Ice-Bone Clan; she is naturally of ice-snow skin, with snow-white hair, extremely beautiful, and also very strong, possessing the foundation of a Star-level peak.

After swallowing the red treasure, her aura began to surge, heading straight for the Eternal level.

Return the imperial soul to us!

The surrounding red-leaf trees all went mad; their immature Divine Sense emitted unwilling roars, while simultaneously launching a fierce assault on the Snow Spirit Lord.

The Snow Spirit Lord spoke: "Everyone, hold them off for a moment; I need ten minutes to absorb this!"

"Good!" Several powerhouses immediately responded, disregarding personal gain or loss to decide to help.

Someone also asked: "Snow Spirit Lord, what is the effect of this treasure?"

The Snow Spirit Lord replied: "In essence, it is a treasure that strengthens the divine soul, but it also contains immense life energy, enabling evolution… ah! Violet Star Venerable, you!!"

Before she finished speaking, suddenly, a Star-level powerhouse who had said he would protect her erupted with an extremely powerful Secret Art aimed at her.

The Snow Spirit Lord, in the midst of transformation, suffered heavy injury; her body was nearly cleaved in half, blood gushed wildly from the wound, and her aura plummeted greatly.

What!

Xiao Feng's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the enemy not yet slain, but his own side would first fall into internal strife.

This is mine!

The Violet Star Venerable who attacked the Snow Spirit Lord gave a sinister laugh, then struck her again.

Bang~

The snow that was almost split open.

The Spirit Master instantly turned into two halves, the origin shattered, and Li Ti died.

"Save me~"

She couldn't care about the "Imperial Soul", nor could she care about the many treasures carried by her true form, retaining only a sesame-seed-sized origin life core, she fled flying toward the distance.

Swish!

A red leaf flew by, cleanly cutting her origin.

The sesame-seed-sized origin instantly vanished.

The once powerful and beautiful Snow Spirit Master thus vanished forever from heaven and earth.

"..."

Xiao Feng was momentarily speechless.

These people, for the sake of treasures, even killed their own......

The greed of living beings is revealed without doubt at this moment.

But upon thinking, it's not strange.

After all, that is a treasure that leads directly to the Realm of Eternity—who wouldn't want it?

Watching others grow strong pales in comparison to becoming strong oneself.

The scramble began again.

The Purple Star Venerable kicked things off, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.

This time, no one again united to protect companions, nor did they join forces to deal with the red leaf trees.

Around the Imperial Soul, chaos reigned like a pot of porridge; all the strong fought each other, the red leaf trees would kill for the Imperial Soul, humans would kill each other for the Imperial Soul, and it became impossible to tell friend from foe.

"Fellow Daoist, come back quickly!"

Han Zichen's voice sounded from behind.

Xiao Feng recalled the twelve Will Swords, which floated behind him.

"Sigh..."

He let out a sigh, truly unable to bear striking his fellow humans, and with a flash retreated to Han Zichen and the others' side.

"Sigh, I never expected the situation to turn out like this." Xue Ningzhen sighed.

They also witnessed the entire process, seeing the Snow Spirit Master killed, and their moods were not great.

Although everyone was not acquainted with the Snow Spirit Master, in impression this strong one was a gentle and kind senior, very to juniors

Good.

Being killed by one's companions is truly too unjust.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go, this place is too dangerous." Han Zichen said.

Having witnessed the scene of internal strife among human powerhouses, they all worried that later they too would be targeted by the red-eyed seniors who had killed in a frenzy.
