These commoners seemed to have no worries at all.

"What does this mean?"

Do you want to say that these believers have not been mistreated by you, you haven't broken your promise, and you still gave them bliss and longevity?

Or do you want to say that there are so many commoners here, who share honor and disgrace with you, and if you die, not only will their carefree life be shattered, but they will also have their souls scattered, using this as a threat?

Lin Jue's expression was silent, his eyelids lowered.

When he raised his eyes again, a brilliant light flashed in them.

He opened his mouth and spat—

"Hoo..."

A spring breeze descended, and although it did not blow on those "commoners," it also bloomed flowers in another empty space.

"Oh my! Flowers have bloomed here too!"

"How did they bloom all of a sudden?"

"This is the Pure Land of the Wang Mu, where the four seasons are like spring, without summer, autumn, or winter. Of course, it's different from the human world before!"

"Ah! Another patch has bloomed here!"

"I wonder if we can pick them, pick some back, weave them into flower garlands, and give them to everyone. Wouldn't that be beautiful?"

"I'm afraid that wouldn't be good..."

"I think it's a good idea!"

Many "commoners" did not realize at all that the spring breeze came from a white cloud overhead, and a pair of eyes was watching them.

But they had already felt the vibration under their feet.

"Weng..."

In the slight trembling and buzzing sound, many dense roots of all sizes stretched out from an empty space where no flowers bloomed, actually forming a figure that looked like it was wearing a robe and skirt. Clearly, the whole body was woven from roots, without facial features, without color, and without other decorations, but it gave people a feeling of grace and luxury.

The figure opened its mouth and made a sound: "You Daoist, do you have to drive me to extinction?"

Many "commoners" heard the words and saw the scene, and only then did they turn around one after another. Their faces, which had been carefree for a long time, could not help but be stunned, as if they had become so dull that they could not think and respond to such a scene.

Immediately, they followed her gaze and looked up at the sky.

"Why is the sky like this?"

"There is a cloud above!"

"There is a person on the cloud!"

"What's going on?"

But a voice came from the sky, gentle and indifferent:

"Exactly."

A spring breeze blew down.

The empty space where the tree root figure stood suddenly began to sprout buds and grow flowers, and the same was true for the figure. In the blink of an eye, a patch of tassels also bloomed here, fluffy like clouds, and like green leaves covered in snow, and the figure also became a "portrait" woven from flowers.

"Weng..."

In the empty space not far away, roots continued to drill out of the soil layer, re-condensing into a figure.

"Since you are not a god of the nine heavens, why do you act as a dog for the nine heavens!"

"How can you and I talk sense!?"

This empty space was also full of chinaberry flowers, pale gray and slightly purple, like fog in a dream, and the tree root figure also became a flower portrait in the sea of flowers.

"Behind!"

The fox shouted.

"Now the gods are unkind, Lord Lord Tianweng is incompetent, why not let me out? As long as I reach a place with rich vitality, in a few decades at most or a few years at least, I can recover to my peak and rebel against these nine heavens with me!"

The voice really came from behind.

"Humph!"

Even if I want to rebel, why should I be with you?

Lin Jue turned around without hesitation!

This time he didn't open his mouth. His thoughts followed, his magical power followed, and he pointed forcefully toward that side—

That piece of land bloomed with a patch of brilliant miscellaneous flowers.

Peach, plum, apricot, pear, magnolia, azalea, bitter chrysanthemum, vitex, aster, hand-orchis, all kinds of wild flowers in the mountains were mixed together, forming a brilliant sea of flowers.

The vitality and spiritual aura of this place were reduced by another point.

"Left!"

The fox continued to remind him, turning its head quickly and flexibly, and also turning its eyeballs, looking at various places below.

"I understand, you are angry that I harm people! But these are all my believers. I have never used any means to confuse them. They are willing to follow me and go to longevity and bliss together. And look, I have never let them down or deceived them. They are in my body, immortal, carefree. Isn't it a hundred times more comfortable than being treated as pigs, dogs, cattle, and horses outside, eating meat and drinking blood? What's wrong with this? Don't you see that I didn't give them up even when I fought with the True Lord and had my body shattered?"

This time the voice was a little weaker, and the tree root figure seemed to be a little smaller.

Every time she said a word, the "commoners" below became more dull.

"The entire city of Yunmeng County sank into the ground. Are all the commoners there your believers?"

Lin Jue shouted and pointed to the left again.

The flowers grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, draining the vitality and spiritual aura of that piece of land.

"In a war, how many people die? In a natural disaster, how many more die? Now the human court is incompetent, the south is dissatisfied, and the north is also dissatisfied. Whether it is to build a new dynasty, change the atmosphere, or simply want to fight for fame and profit, and sit on the dragon chair yourself, how many innocent commoners outside the army will die? What do these people count for?"

"Do you think I'm as easy to fool as your believers?"

"Stop! Let me out, help me survive the seven-year catastrophe, and I will pass on my supreme magical powers to you!"

"Your catastrophe is me!"

He pointed several times, and the vitality of the earth was infinite.

Although this area was wide, until now, there was not much empty space left.

The Wang Mu of the West emerged with a fake root body again, but she was already angry: "You Daoist! Although I am dead and vulnerable in front of you, I have achieved the truth and the Dao for many years and have my own magical powers. You have just achieved the truth. If you want to fight me to the death, it will do you no good!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Jue pointed again, and the flowers bloomed in midsummer.

At this time, those "commoners" who had been at ease for a long time finally reacted and realized what was going on.

Some were more dull, their faces full of disbelief, while others turned all dullness, disbelief, and incomprehension into anger, shouting and calling friends, either rushing toward Lin Jue or rushing to protect the Wang Mu of the West.

Lin Jue fanned his sleeve, and the ghosts rushing toward him were blown away.

He reached out and grabbed, and the ghosts rushing toward the empty space and the tree root figure were restrained by an irresistible force and fell back into the flowers.

At the same time, a larger tree root figure emerged on the other side, but it was sucking Qi toward him.

"Hiss..."

Lin Jue clearly felt the passing of his vitality.

Only besides vitality, there was also lifespan.

!

"Extracting vitality and granting lifespan?"

Lin Jue did not hesitate, pinched the formula and chanted the spell, and pointed again.

It seemed as if invisible chains and ropes rushed out—

"Ah!!"

Accompanied by a harsh scream, a black shadow was dragged directly out of the figure woven from tree roots and was caught in front of Lin Jue in an instant.

The Daoist's eyes condensed, and the remnant soul vanished into thin air.

The vitality and lifespan just extracted were also scattered in heaven and earth.

Then he pointed toward that empty space again.

Flowers bloomed all over the ground, also extracting the vitality and spiritual aura of that side, only besides vitality, there were also spiritual aura and magical power.

A tree root figure emerged in another empty space, sucking Qi toward Lin Jue.

"There really are many roots!

"After the soul is scattered, it can actually retain consciousness, and each remnant soul has the ability of the whole. Is this also your vegetation magical power?"

Lin Jue's movements did not stop, and he continued to kill.

First restrain the soul, scatter the remnant soul, then spit out the spring breeze, and kill all the vitality, spiritual aura, and those roots below.

Only his body seemed to have aged a little.

"You have grown old!"

The fox looked at the bottom, and also looked up at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was unmoved and continued to eliminate demons.

One empty space, one figure, one brilliant sea of flowers.

The Wang Mu of the West was both surprised and angry, and shouted loudly: "What kind of spell is this? Why can it restrain my soul?"

I don't know when, but the ground below had been filled with all kinds of flowers, leaving only the last small piece of empty space.

I don't know when, but Lin Jue on the cloud was also old and frail. Although his figure was not hunched and his face was still rosy, his hair was already white. A long sword appeared in his hand, and he just pressed the hilt and used it as a crutch on the cloud, looking down.

The fox turned its head and looked at him with determined eyes, then looked down at its front legs and chest, and then looked up and said:

"Your fur has also turned white!"

A last cluster of tree roots drilled out there to form a figure.

And that figure was also weak and helpless:

"Although the immortal's lifespan is almost endless, it also needs to grow slowly... recover slowly... In your current appearance, if a catastrophe comes before recovery, how will you deal with it? Is it really worth paying such a high price to deal with me?"

Lin Jue listened to her and just smiled:

"So that's it..."

"What?"

"You don't think it's really useful to me, do you?"

After Lin Jue finished speaking, he learned her appearance and also took a breath.

Those vitality and lifespan scattered in heaven and earth, before they disappeared, were sucked back into his mouth as he breathed, just like the Wang Mu of the West just now.

This was exactly the method of extracting vitality and granting lifespan!

Since obtaining this magical power, due to the difference between humans and the Longevity Tree, Lin Jue had been gaining insights and had not learned it, but what method of gaining insights could be more real than being subjected to the spell himself?

The white hair of the Daoist on the cloud quickly turned black. The changes of time on him left as quickly as the white clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the Daoist had restored his previous appearance.

"How can you..."

A shocked voice came from the tree root figure below.

Only the invisible chain had broken through the sky and flew straight toward her remnant soul!

At this moment, this Wang Mu of the West, who had infinite vitality, countless roots, and was known as immortal, saw her end very truly. That was the complete death of having her soul scattered and vanishing in heaven and earth.

At this time, she had only one thought in her heart:

"My Golden Core was taken by True Lord Master Fuchi, and my wood heart was divided by the two True Lords Husheng Zhenjun Baosheng and Husheng. It has great..."

"Brush!"

The invisible chain pierced through her soul, and with a little force, it stirred her soul into scattering.

"What does it have to do with me?"

At the moment of death, you still want to deceive people into avenging you?

This Wang Mu of the West is really good at calculating.

Being able to reach today, she has her skills.

Lin Jue's heart was as firm as iron, and he was unmoved. He just blew a spring breeze, and the last piece of empty space was filled by the sea of flowers.

Originally, under this golden light barrier, except for this Longevity Tree of the Wang Mu of the West, there was no vitality or spiritual aura, and now even the vitality and spiritual aura belonging to the Wang Mu of the West had dissipated, completely becoming a dead land.

The mystery of the spell, the mutual generation and restraint, is right here.
