Chapter 1994

The last kilometer, Su Xiao was extra cautious, Bahu was responsible for observing from high altitude, and Ignoring Bubu Wang blended into the environment to scout ahead.

Until he reached beneath the Vein Tree, Su Xiao's intuition gave no warning, as if the Moon Goddess had not noticed him.

The Vein Tree was several hundred meters tall, with a diameter of about ten meters, its thick trunk as hard as metal.

Su Xiao stood beneath the Vein Tree, not far from him was a large rectangular stone, clearly carved by human hands.

On the stone was a metal frame, a metal bell less than one meter tall and overall spherical in shape hung upon it—this was the Moon Bell, its appearance strange, as if a cavity had been hollowed out beneath an iron sphere.

The Moon Bell was covered in yellowish-brown rust, and on the stone slab beneath it, there was a basin-sized depression, filled with dark red liquid.

Su Xiao tapped the Moon Bell with his finger, and a clear chime rang out.

"Give… up… strong… human."

A muffled voice came, Su Xiao's hand rested on his sword hilt, his gaze swept around, within his intuition's range, no enemy appeared.

"I… am… here."

A slow voice came, Su Xiao looked toward the Vein Tree, at this moment on the Vein Tree's trunk, there was a huge face, entirely formed from bark.

"Vein Tree?"

"It… is me, strong… human."

The face on the Vein Tree was no less than twenty meters tall, and looked withered and tangled.

"Human, human."

"Strong, strong."

Two clear voices appeared, this time not from the Vein Tree, but from two creatures resembling small fairies, they were tree spirits, very rare, mostly harmless, just a bit mischievous.

Both tree spirits were energy bodies, one gold and one green, they sometimes took the form of twenty-centimeter-tall humanoids, sometimes became orbs of light.

"Human… you… are……"

"Human, you came to challenge the Moon Goddess?"

Compared to the Vein Tree's extremely slow speech, the green tree spirit spoke very quickly; if not listened to carefully, one couldn't understand what she said.

"Give up, many challengers have died, your soul will be shattered."

The golden tree spirit spoke timidly, she was curiously observing Su Xiao and his group.

"Human, I… only… have, one… request, do not… beneath me, and the Moon Goddess, fight."

The Vein Tree, several hundred meters tall, spoke, no matter how you listened, it sounded like a warning.

"Oh?"

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed, his aura began to turn dangerous.

"If… beneath me… you fight, I might… die."

The Vein Tree, at its largest size, spoke the most cowardly words.

"..."

Su Xiao took out the Earth Dragon's Blood, poured it into the depression beneath the Moon Bell.

"This is, gratitude."

As the Vein Tree's words finished, a fruit fell from above, landing straight toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao caught the fruit, and the Reincarnation Paradise notification appeared.

【You obtained Vein Fruit (Legendary).】

……

The Vein Tree was both kindly reminding and giving fruit, mainly because it feared Su Xiao would cut it down.

If it were other strong ones, the Vein Tree wouldn't worry so much, but Su Xiao skillfully wielded his longsword, his aura extremely sharp, the Vein Tree could sense that if Su Xiao truly wanted to chop it, it wasn't impossible to sever its trunk.

"As you wish."

While speaking, Su Xiao clenched his fist, crystalline layers clung to his right fist, he punched the Moon Bell.

Dong!

The soul-shaking bell rang out, the two tree spirits cried out in alarm and hurriedly hid inside the Vein Tree, the Vein Tree's old face also showed pain.

The shockwave spread, the Earth Dragon's Blood beneath the Moon Bell surged up into thousands of fine ripples, evaporating into mist.

Su Xiao then took out a strand of silver-white long hair from his storage space, silver light particles drifted down along the hair strands.

The Earth Dragon Blood mist was attracted to the silver hair, the silver hair quickly turned blood-red, soaked in dragon blood.

"Thank you, human… strong one."

The Vein Tree spoke, that old face clearly somewhat nervous.

Su Xiao leapt a few times and was several hundred meters away; seeing this, the Vein Tree breathed a sigh of relief.

"Strong human."

"Good person, good person."

The two tree spirits floated before the Vein Tree, together with it gazing at Su Xiao several hundred meters away.

Blood-colored mist rose in Su Xiao's hand, he already felt something was watching him.

In silence, blue-green light particles fell from the sky, the thin mist in the sky dispersed over a large area, revealing an orange-red full moon.

A black dot appeared on the red moon, and rapidly enlarged.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh……

The sound of air friction came, the black dot on the red moon became more distinct, and around that black dot were countless tendrils.

Su Xiao looked up at the high sky, that thing was falling at high speed, completely different from his imagination of a divine descent.

The sound of breaking air began to pierce the ears, that black dot also grew ever larger.

Thud!

A heavy object smashed onto the ground, dust and smoke surged in all directions, Su Xiao held one arm across in front of him, Ignoring Bubu Wang behind him was directly blown away.

The old face of the earth vein tree wrinkled into a knot, large pieces of rubble and clods of earth smashing onto it.

"Roar!!"

The angry roar spread, layers of air waves expanding, smoke and dust blown away, a colossal figure appearing before Su Xiao.

This was a creature covered in tentacles all over its body, at least ten meters tall, its entire body glowing blue, each tentacle half a meter thick, over twenty meters long, at least a hundred in number.

Su Xiao had seen this creature before in the great hall of the monastery; back then, its size was much smaller than now.

Simply standing before this creature, Su Xiao felt a sense of oppression.

Moreover, this was not the Moon God; the true Moon God stood atop this creature's head.

The Moon God's height was around three meters, his body devoid of skin, ribs exposed on his trunk, muscles wrapped by bone, appearing pale red, behind him three rows of half-meter-long bone spurs, skull structure special, likewise bone-wrapped muscle, brain with inverted bone spurs.

"Ba e, shu ge (unknown language)."

The Moon God looked down from above at Su Xiao, within his hollow eye sockets a thread of dark red light.

Su Xiao firmly believed that if the Moon God's followers saw his appearance, they wouldn't just piss themselves on the spot—they'd turn and flee.

The enemy was not just one; the creature beneath the Moon God's feet was equally troublesome; this time Su Xiao had not pre-set Apollo, after all the chance of blowing up the Moon God was too low, unlike the Black King, who was bound within the Birth Hall.
