Chapter 1239

If the host transplants this black demonic tree into the space, the space will gain many rare spiritual herbs, pill recipes, weapons, and all manner of ores...】

After hearing the system's words, Tian Tian tried to move the demonic tree into the space.

But to Tian Tian's astonishment, even summoning all her strength, she couldn't shift a single sapling into the space!

Tian Tian knit her brows and asked, "System, this black tree—could it be that you got it wrong?

I used every ounce of strength I have, and I can't move so much as a hair on it."

【That's right! This is a true demonic tree, possessing incomparably ferocious power and destructive force!

The host must be careful—under no circumstances provoke this black tree!

Otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!

The existence of this demonic tree will bring a catastrophic disaster to the entire Yunchuan Continent!】

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Tian Tian frowned and scolded sternly, "What demonic tree is there in this world?"

【There is! It is called the Demonic Tree!

And the host is this demonic tree's host.

As long as the host kills it, its spirit core will be yours!

Moreover, the demonic tree also has the effect of strengthening the host's constitution; the host can use it to enhance her own strength.

In short, as long as the host kills this demonic tree, you will become even stronger.】

"..." Tian Tian's mouth twitched.

The system added, 【Host, I say all this only to make you consider it carefully!

After all, once the demonic tree awakens, it will provoke the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men, and incur heavenly punishment!

Therefore, for the sake of all living beings under heaven, please reconsider, host!】.

Tian Tian pouted. "Fine then, I'll reluctantly do it—help it vanquish evil and defend the Dao!"

Saying so, she picked up a dagger and hacked at the demonic tree.

"Clang!"

The blade struck the demonic tree, erupting in dazzling sparks!

Immediately after, the demonic tree suddenly shook and let out a tremendous roar!

A towering surge of demonic energy shot straight up into the heavens!

"Hahaha... This Sovereign has finally seen the light of day again!

Hahaha... This Sovereign has finally been reborn!"

Wild, arrogant, unbridled laughter, deafening to the ears!

"Holy crap, what the hell is that?"

Tian Tian clutched her head, badly shaken by the shock.

The moment she let go of her hand, she discovered that in her palm there was an extra black, round crystal core.

That crystal core flickered with an eerie blue light, looking both strange and sinister.

"Huh, isn't this the black demonic tree from just now?"

Tian Tian blinked her eyes, staring at the black crystal core in her palm and examining it.

She raised her hand and poked it—cold and hard.

She couldn't help muttering, "No wonder it grew on this tree; looks like it's pretty firmly attached."

Just then, a sinister voice suddenly exploded beside her ear.

"Who are you?

How dare you trespass onto this Honored One's territory!"

Tian Tian was startled and immediately raised her head to look around.

But she found nothing at all.

Tian Tian couldn't help frowning. "Who on earth are you?

Stop playing tricks and pretending to be a ghost—get out here now!"

"Hmph, a mere mortal body of flesh, and you dare offend our King's dignity!

Once our King awakens, he will take your dog's life!"

Tian Tian stared with round eyes, utterly bewildered. "What the heck?"

Demon King?

Could she have transmigrated?

She had actually transmigrated into another realm?

Tian Tian hurried back to her room, grabbed a coat and threw it on, then took a cloth towel to cover half her face.

Then Tian Tian walked out of the house.

At this moment, the ancient locust tree in the courtyard was still growing wildly.

Tian Tian stood in the courtyard, craning her neck to look at it. "Hey, ugly tree spirit, what does this Demon King you keep mentioning actually look like?"

"The Demon King is an ancient primordial demon god—of course he is tall and mighty, incomparably handsome, of extraordinary bearing, unmatched under heaven, and of peerless, ravishing beauty!"

"Pfft, do you even believe that yourself?"

The tree instantly fell silent.

Tian Tian added, "I think you're just especially ugly, afraid to be seen, so you made up excuses to exaggerate!"

"What do you know? Our King is valiant and godlike, with peerless wisdom and strategy—how could his appearance be something that common folk like you can glimpse?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Hehe da.

Since you worship your Demon King so much, why don't you go find him.

What are you standing around here for, wasting my time with nonsense?"

After a moment of silence, the tree let out a low growl, "I am the Demon Race's Guardian!

Though I am a member of the Demon Race, I severed all ties with the Human Race long ago.

My King is the monarch I revere most!

You mortals must not show my King any disrespect!"

Tian Tian scoffed, "Pfft, stop playing dumb in front of me.

I'll tell you, I am the one sent by the Tianting Sect of the Immortal Realm to punish you, you monster."

"The Immortal Realm's Tianting? You're the one sent by the Immortal Realm to destroy my King?" the Demon Tree asked back in surprise.

"Nonsense, did you, that stupid monster, make that up yourself to trick me?"

Tian Tian glanced disdainfully at the Demon Tree. "Calling yourself a Demon Tree — with how weak you are, you call yourself a monster?

Even if you used to be awesome, too bad, you've fallen into my hands.

I'll cut out your demon core first and see just how weak you really are."

Tian Tian clenched her fist and swung at the Demon Tree.

Seeing this, the Demon Tree hurriedly dodged Tian Tian's attack.

Although it was a tree, its speed was remarkably swift.

It could be seen dodging rapidly, slipping around Tian Tian like a loach, prowling about her.

Tian Tian saw that she had struck it several times, yet each one was dodged, and she felt utterly frustrated!

"Damn it! This tree is way too cunning!" Tian Tian cursed angrily.

She stopped hesitating and broke into a run outside.

However, the moment she took a step, a sharp pain shot through her ankle, and she lost her balance entirely, crashing to the ground.

She lowered her head and saw a dagger plunged into her ankle.

Tian Tian gritted her teeth and stood up, flicked the blood off the dagger, then looked up toward the tree perched on the treetop.

This tree is way too cunning!
