Creatures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Intruders must pay with their life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, from within a forest outside the temple, a robust vine swung abruptly from an ancient tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vine, dense and full of power, thrashed like iron, stirring up the ground, churning the forces around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine swung towards Lin Bai, landing a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flung him from the sky and onto the ground, crashing heavily into the heart of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splatter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai’s body smashed into the ground like a fallen star, forming a massive crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As blood gushed from his mouth, he fell unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flying sword dropped next to him, losing its spirit as he lost consciousness — reduced to nothing more than an ordinary, discarded sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a vine slithered from the thick undergrowth, wound around Lin Bai’s waist, and dragged him deeper into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine hauled Lin Bai into the Forbidden Zone Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their journey, they passed a headless knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headless knight, clad in armor, held a long spear, and rode an undead warhorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Bai’s body was dragged past, the knight didn’t spare him a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the headless knight galloped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lin Bai was dragged past a desolate sword cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator emanated powerful energies of death and ruin, and his eyes glowed red with a monstrous glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, a dark and ominous sword radiated a cold, sharp light like a demon god’s fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at Lin Bai, the desolate sword cultivator turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the vine — still dragging Lin Bai — arrived at the base of another aged tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vine lifted Lin Bai’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient tree’s trunk gaped open into a massive mouth, into which the vine threw Lin Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree closed its mouth and returned to its original state, obscuring the red glow above Lin Bai’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Zone Forest regained its tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if nothing had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No ancient tree, no headless knight, no desolate sword cultivator, and no Lin Bai…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Yi and the effeminate man arrived at the outskirts of the Forbidden Zone Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Yi said, “We’ve nearly searched the entire forest, but we haven’t found that bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably went into the temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effeminate man looked at the forest in front of him and said, “The Forbidden Zone Forest is inhabited by the Forbidden Zone creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re extremely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons are heavenly defying, so we shouldn’t provoke them carelessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Yi said, “Let’s keep searching.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right away, Long Yi and the effeminate man continued their search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hu Jiang!” Long Ye suddenly yelled out in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the effeminate man quickly flew over, asking, “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Yi pointed to a sword stuck in the ground in the forest ahead and asked, “Isn’t that the little guy’s flying sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effeminate man concentrated his gaze and found a sword thrust into the ground of the forest, silent and devoid of its former spirit and glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effeminate man and Long Yi were overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Bai’s flying sword, both the effeminate man and Long Yi had witnessed its true power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Butterfly from the Ash Battle Team and Sun Yao had both been killed by this very sword, which was extremely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai slowly regained consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where am I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai attempted to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment he tried to open his mouth, he found that he was unable to move, as if he was paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai realized that his life force and energy were being absorbed by the ancient tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai recalled getting knocked down by the vine as he tried to go into the temple on his flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was severely injured at that time, and there was no way he could avoid the incoming vine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After falling into the forest, Lin Bai fell unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You actually considered me food?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of anger welled up in Lin Bai’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ancient tree, once it achieved awareness, could absorb the vitality of warriors as nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All warriors who stepped inside the Forbidden Area were almost all killed by this tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it dragged them into its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the warriors’ vitality and flesh were completely drained, it discarded their white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I embarked on the path of Martial Arts, I’ve been absorbing the vitality of every creature Under Heaven to enhance my cultivation level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And now this tree, not knowing its place, dares to devour my vitality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you seeking your death by exposing your weak spot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see then, whose power of devouring is stronger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devouring Sword Spirit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Bai was completely fused with the gigantic tree, his body being consumed and transformed into nourishment by the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his Martial Soul was intertwined with his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the tree had a defiance of natural order means, it wouldn’t be able to devour Lin Bai’s Martial Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, could it stomach it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it have the capability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it handle devouring the Devouring Sword Spirit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Devouring Sword Spirit is the lord of all Devouring Powers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fresh blood of all entities Under Heaven is nutrients for the Devouring Sword Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devour!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Bai activated the Devouring Sword Spirit, a surge of devouring power burst forth from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the vitality that was slowly being consumed, was now drawn back and revitalised by Lin Bai’s Power of Devouring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the blood energy returned to Lin Bai’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You, you, how could you recover when you should’ve been dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, an aged voice echoed in Lin Bai’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lin Bai didn’t know the cultivation level of this tree, the fact that the tree could speak proved that it was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you intend to devour me, I will devour you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devouring Sword Spirit, devour it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai roared angrily, and the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit surged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it snatch back Lin Bai’s vitality, but it also swallowed the massive tree’s vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loads of vitality flowed into Lin Bai’s body, rapidly mending his injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large tree had been rooted into the Earth for who knows how long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vitality in the tree was practically endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t merely mend Lin Bai’s injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excess vitality also helped Lin Bai to enhance his cultivation level, clear his energy meridians, and get rid of impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could your Martial Soul possibly absorb my vitality?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my thousand plus years of living, I’ve never witnessed such a defiant existence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large tree’s shocked screams echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst all the demon beasts, a tree monster has one of the most prolonged lifespans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a tree monster to attain awareness, it was extremely difficult and required a long period of growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a thousand years, this tree had merged completely with the Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy from the meridians beneath the Earth continuously flowed into the tree, boosting its cultivation level rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, as Lin Bai absorbed the vitality of this tree, he also devoured the spiritual energy of the meridians beneath the Earth via the tree as a medium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy surged wildly within Lin Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the warriors within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains felt the spiritual energy around them thin rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The spiritual energy in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains seems to have been vacuumed out in an instant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All this spiritual energy is flowing into the Forbidden Area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many warriors stared in horror at the Temple within the Forbidden Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, at the Forbidden Zone Forest, the spiritual energy was so dense, it was congealing into a thick substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha ha, my cultivation level is increasing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devouring Sword Spirit, give it your all, break through the Half-step Divine Pill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai exclaimed with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-05-29T14:40:13.791Z","2026-06-01T04:29:32.613Z",1,"novelbin.me","e62b2eba56df6336195543d066915e102b52aedf4b7d8334768699ad6f20d650","the-unparalleled-sword-emperor-chapter-526","the-unparalleled-sword-emperor-chapter-524",2737,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-unparalleled-sword-emperor-cover.jpg"]
