Chapter 262: Chapter 234: Stop him! (Request for monthly ticket)

The triangular pupils flashed fiercely, as the blood-red python’s tongue hissed and trembled, with bone scales on its head bursting upward.

"Boom"

A pillar of black fire surged violently from the irate snake head, crackling through the void, as if even the air itself caught fire.

An evil and filthy aura spread from the pillar of fire, rising rapidly towards the floating pagoda, and shot toward it with force.

One green and one black, two streaks of light, like a spark hitting the earth, created a thunderous roar, as if ripping the entire sky apart, making the heavens seem to shake.

One side of the sky shone with green light, with ceaseless sounds of war drums, while the other side was engulfed in black flames, violently corroding the void with intense noise.

The Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower rumbled and trembled in the void, spinning, with the sound of the Divine Embryo within, beating like a heart, "thump thump thump" loudly echoing.

With each thump, the filthy and evil black flames, "pop pop pop," burst open one after another, as if pounded apart by some immense invisible force, sending sparks flying in all directions.

A black spark as thick as a finger fell onto the grass and forest below, causing trees to wither and blacken instantly, as if their vitality had been devoured.

When it landed on Demon Soldiers’ bodies, their hard leather armor was instantly corroded with a large hole, and then with a bang, a ball of black flame ignited, burning fiercely. The Demon Soldiers screamed in agony and turned into ashes.

Yet, when it fell upon the three banner formations of the Ninth Mountain, it corroded vast holes in the barriers, raising alarmed shouts.

This showed the terrifying nature of the black flames.

However, the pagoda spun upwards towards the sky, puncturing and exploding these evil flames. Then, with a clang of metal, the golden Treasure Mirror suddenly emitted a bright light, and numerous golden Divine Chains shot out, making crisp clanging sounds as they passed through the black flames, like thunder and lightning coursing through it, roaring out towards the shimmering, silver-armored, Three-headed Feiyi.

But at this moment, another snake head shot out a cold, gloomy light, its mouth opening to spew a wave of bloody, crimson wind. Within the wind were numerous blades and weapons, clanging loudly against each other, clashing against the golden Divine Chains like lightning.

In an instant,

"Dang"

"Dang"

"Dang"

Golden lightning streaked across, and as it split and flashed, immense blades materialized within the crimson wind, the sound of clashing gold and iron shaking the cosmos.

Just then, from below, the black sea of fire suddenly surged upward, and in the blink of an eye, a fierce golden light leaped into the sky, with a flash of silver lightning accompanied by a muffled thunder, fiercely slashing towards the Three-headed Feiyi in the midst of casting...

"Slash!"

As the silver light suddenly appeared, it burst out with a dazzling cold brilliance, shooting through the void, rapidly descending towards the three snake heads.

Just as it was about to hit, above the eerily armored Feiyi, a black branch sprouted in the void, followed by a second, then a third... spreading over it like ghostly hands.

"Chi"

"Chi"

"Chi"

Sparks flew in all directions, the cold light sliced through over a hundred branches in succession, until with a final surge, a Three-pointed Two-blade Spear was revealed.

And the blade of the spear was merely two zhangs away from those three Feiyi heads.

"Gah"

The pupils of that irascible snake head twitched rapidly, shocked; damn it, why was this Human Clan’s Colonel’s aura growing ever more intense, as if fearless of death? The black-colored True Fire from its mouth hastily extinguished, even coughing out a wisp of black smoke.

Then, ferocity ignited in its triangular snake eyes, "Stay!"

As the roar ended, one could see countless black, iron-like branches, like myriad ghostly hands, climbing onto the silver-tipped black Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, tightly entwining it. The remainder, turning into black iron spikes, rapidly shot up, "swoosh swoosh swoosh," igniting a skyful of cold light, wrapping towards Chen Yuan who was wielding the long spear.

It was as if in the darkness, countless fierce ghosts were gnashing their teeth and clawing, tearing towards him with a chilling malevolence.

Yet one could see the Golden-armored Giant that Chen Yuan had transformed into, his eyes blazing with Divine Light, letting out a fierce roar. His body shook violently, reverberating with a hum; his vital energy roared like Rivers, his Dantian fire blazed intensely, muscles bulging, golden light circulating, as if enveloped by blazing flames.

Immediately after, he opened his mouth wide, and the Golden Core True Fire, like a fierce inferno scorching the heavens, swelled with the wind, sweeping toward the surging black branches.

Upon contact with the supremely positive and firm Pure Yang True Fire, these wretched branches hissed like hot oil meeting water, then burst into fierce flames, significantly weakened.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh, they made piercing sounds as they thrust toward Chen Yuan’s Golden Armor, colliding with a ding ding dang dang, leaving only tiny white spots on Chen Shen’s Golden Armor.

Chen Yuan’s body vibrated, shaking off these burning iron branches, then gripping the long spear, he exerted a mighty push, snapping off these entwined branches. Subsequently, his other hand transformed into a palm, slamming fiercely onto the spear’s handle.

The spear tip suddenly vibrated with a tremor, dazzling cold light shining forth as it swiftly slashed down.

In the blink of an eye, that irascible snake head, with its dilated snake pupils, revealed a streak of blood, followed by it being severed and falling.

Then came a roar filled with both shock and rage, "Damn it, half a Jiazi’s Daoist practice, quickly merge!"

The severed snake head exploded with a bang, shortly followed by a burst of grey radiance from within. The right snake head stretched out its neck, colliding with this grey light. Right after, the snake head’s energy rapidly fluctuated, the snake head emitting a fierce howl, swiftly dodging about, its Demon Eyes changing, one black, one red, firing out terrifying Demon Light amidst the rolling Demonic Qi.

Seeing that Chen Yuan’s long spear and Pagoda were not by his side, this Feiyi head seized the opportunity, roaring sharply...

"Destruction Divine Light!"

With an angry roar, two beams of light shot out fiercely from the Demon Eyes, merged into one midflight, and as they passed, space seemed to shatter, lifting fragments like mirrors. These mirror-like fragments, accompanied by the dark red sinister light, instantly shot towards Chen Yuan’s proximity.

Chen Yuan’s face tightened, a finger touching his forehead, Magic Eye Golden Light meeting the impact, the two beams of light colliding near his position in space with a boom, like a struggle between giants, expanding and contracting.

The mirror-like shards attempted to reflect back the Destruction Divine Light, when Chen Yuan immediately extended his sleeve—his Sky Flapping Sleeve swelling—and a massive surge of violent suction rushed out.

After his daily accumulation of Luck Points, his Divine Skills had become extraordinary.

Instantly, the mirror-like shards lost control and flew towards the sleeve opening, then a golden fist emerged from within and smashed them to pieces.

Feiyi’s pupils contracted sharply at the sight, realizing that the skills of the Human Clan’s Colonel were endless and nearly unstoppable; this necessitated immediate containment.

His eyes fired intense Demon Light while the jet-black branches overhead expanded rapidly. With a loud roar, he shouted,

"Strangle!"

In a flash, the branches, as strong as metal, shot out through the air, enveloping the space where Chen Yuan stood, and began to intertwine and encircle him.

Sharp black spikes, like edges of iron whips, lashed out at Chen Yuan with piercing cold light. Chen Yuan stomped the ground, his body enveloped in True Fire, his fists glowing hot with golden light, and his Fist Mastery trembling as he struck out at the cold spikes.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Roaring eruptions echoed as branches exploded into pieces. Seemingly infinite in number and dense, the branches, laden with robust Tao Qi, continued sprouting relentlessly. Not being able to break through Chen Yuan’s defenses, they seemed to change their strategy—slithering like snakes and transforming into four large vines, rolling towards Chen Yuan.

Two vines wrapped around his arms and two around his legs. They then pulled apart fiercely. The Feiyi, its eyes flashing with joy, spat out a pitch-black Snake-shaped Staff which flew out with a whoosh, slashing towards Chen Yuan.

It was halfway there when a spear cry thundered.

A streak of silver light shot back at an incomparable speed to that of the Snake-shaped Staff.

When it neared the space in front of Chen Yuan, with a ’clang’, the Snake-shaped Staff was sent flying backwards, followed by a fierce slash of silver light cutting through those entangling things!

The four vines were slashed apart at once!

"Heh"

Chen Yuan’s Dharma Eye between his brows blazed, dispelling the evil light, followed by a single-handed upward motion that sent a thunderous booming across the sky. He howled fiercely, sending the sound hurtling towards the space where the Feiyi trio resided.

The Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower crashed down towards that area, like a group of great mountains compressing the sky.

The Feiyi trio, whose two pronged attacks had just been interrupted and seeing this, had their expressions drastically change. With a piercing shriek, they quickly withdrew the spreading branches into the void.

The four thick vines they had transformed into swiftly retracted. Chen Yuan, seeing this, had a fierce look on his face, leaped into the air, stepping on two vines and grabbing the other two with his hands.

Next,

the Thirty-Six Mountain Demon Suppression Tower came crashing down directly into the Demon Cloud where the Feiyi trio resided.

A shattering sound that shook the heavens and earth resonated, Demonic Qi tumbling and silver light shining brilliantly, from within emerged a pained scream that pierced the heart.

And all of this happened within a few breaths.

Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to grab the spear, swung it with a whoosh, and his golden gaze from the vertical Dharma Eye focused, then with a "bang", he sprinted towards that space.

But in the next breath, "boom"—the Demon Suppression Tower was now being pushed up by a surge of blood light.

Then, the clashing sound of gold and iron, a huge Ancestor Tree sprang forth from the void.

The black branches and leaves, cast like gold and iron, rang with ear-splitting metallic sounds as they swayed, akin to the roars of a group of demons. Below the grand tree, roots had penetrated the near-shattered bodies of the Feiyi trio, wrapping around them, becoming part of the Demon Tree.

The black Demon Tree skyrocketed in an instant, in the blink of an eye it was covering the sky and spread across the heavens. With a trunk only thirty or forty zhangs thick, the massive canopy spread far and wide.

Within the trunk, a pulsating giant blood-red heart throbbed with a peculiar rhythm, like the wails of an infant. With the sound, the roots spewed blood energy, transforming into blood crows.

The black tree and blood crows cawed piercingly, filled with surging murderous intent.

Below the tree, Chen Yuan watched the black Demon Tree, his figure retreating into afterimages, then tensed slightly,

Feiyi, residing in Pengpi Mountain, where the fertile waters flow, a sky-reaching giant tree called Black Nest grows, housing the Feiyi.

Chen Yuan had seen such black Demon Trees when besieging Weiyuan Pass. Feiyi Demon Soldiers dwelled within, and at the roots of the tree lay a blanket of White Bone, nurtured with the flesh and blood of the Human Clan. Amongst the branches, the corpses of the common people hung like dried cured meat, seemingly the nightly feast for the Feiyi. When Weiyuan Pass fell, the tree showed its sentience and possessed the strength of the Heavenly Pass Tao Seed, yet was ultimately incinerated by Chen Yuan’s True Fire to nothingness.

That must have been an offshoot of the Black Nest!

The Black Nest before him, however, was the Tao Fruit of that Tri-headed Feiyi nurturing the Tao Embryo!

The connection between this kind of Demon Tree and the Feiyi Clan was unclear, but there was an undeniable air of malevolence.

The moment Black Nest emerged, a long snake-faced visage appeared on the tree, issuing an urgent, sharp cry,

"You fools, stop bothering with the others, stop him, stop him!"

"Buy time for your lord, to connect with the Ancestor Tree and summon the great one!"

The sharp and piercing cries trembled across the universe.

And with that, the entire battlefield fell into sudden silence.

At other combat zones, the other Tri-headed Tao Fruits were watching that battleground closely. Seeing the leader being pressed to such lengths, they were shocked.

Six Mountains Tao Fruits had converged, and in an instant, two were dead and two wounded, being pushed to such an extent by the Human Clan’s Colonel.

They then let out several roars of fury, unleashed a Divine Skill, driving back a few people, and rushed towards that space without a moment’s hesitation. Demonic shadows roared as they launched their strongest Divine Skills at Chen Yuan!
