Chapter 1329 - Chapter 1329 Chapter 1329 Magical Treasure Tree

Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: Magical Treasure Tree Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: Magical Treasure Tree Huang Xiaolong and the other treasure hunters eagerly flew into the oasis.

Fresh, comfortable, satisfying…

Wildflowers bloomed among the trees, a sight too beautiful to fathom.

Moreover, every tree was filled with top-quality Immortal Artifacts, their dazzling radiance reflecting off each treasure hunter’s body, creating a cascade of light so mesmerizing and magnificent.

Huang Xiaolong stood under a tree, looking up at it curiously.

This tree had over a dozen Immortal Artifacts hanging from its branches, including bracelets, necklaces, and rings.

“Master, these Immortal Artifacts are all amplification types. Once you acknowledge them with your blood and wear them, they will greatly enhance your immortal power, defenses, and attack strength,” Jiang Yuan, a Profound Immortal, had delved into various Immortal Artifacts. “Master, these Immortal Artifacts would cause a frenzy if taken to the Immortal Realm. They were likely personally refined by the Sky-Slaying Immortal Emperor. Incredible! Truly incredible!”

“This second realm of the Sky-Slaying Ten Realms has revealed so many treasures,” mused the Third Crown Prince, standing next to Huang Xiaolong. “Tsk tsk, it’s hard to imagine what the other eight worlds, as well as the main world, will be like.”

By this time, the forces of the Immortals and the Demon Race were already itching with excitement and desire.

“These Immortal Emperor brothers, this Immortal Artifact sabre is perfect for me,” a level nine Profound Immortal said longingly, eyeing a sabre that grew on one of the trees, practically salivating.

The sabre, clear as autumn water, was flawless, with countless secret patterns engraved into it, forming various Formations.

“Feel free to pick these Immortal Artifacts,” the Sword Immortal Emperor said with a smile. “The Immortal Artifacts of this realm now belong to us!”

After a pause, the Sword Immortal Emperor lowered his voice, instructing the Profound Immortals, “Listen well, the Sky-Slaying Immortal Emperor stated that the most important treasure of this second realm, as well as the key to the third realm, are both located within this oasis! Search carefully! Leave no stone unturned! We must find both the treasure and the key!”

The Purple Flame Immortal Emperor also cautioned in a low voice, “Although we’ve received some favors from Huang Xiaolong, when it comes to the Sky-Slaying Immortal Emperor’s treasure, we must compete! Huang Xiaolong has already obtained the most important treasure of the Jupiter realm as well as a key. He is temporarily in the lead. But we must not allow him to monopolize the glory! We must seize the most important treasure of the Flame Realm and that key!”

“Yes!” all the Profound Immortals responded, accepting the command.

On the other side, two Demon Kings were also rallying their Demon Saints.

Huang Xiaolong, however, didn’t give it much thought.

After entering the oasis, he felt something was odd.

What exactly was odd about it?

Simply put, having refined the core of Jupiter, Huang Xiaolong was almost akin to the emperor of all wood, capable of releasing the highest level of wood energy in the universe, nourishing various plants and flowers, causing them to transform into spirits.

This meant that all plants should submit to Huang Xiaolong, honor him as their sovereign.

But strangely, the cactus-like trees in this Flame Realm oasis, laden with Immortal Artifacts, seemed… not like real plants!

Upon investigating with his wood energy, Huang Xiaolong found that the strange trees in the oasis could not be nourished by his wood energy.

Could it be that these were not trees? Or even plants at all?

As Huang Xiaolong contemplated this puzzle, the level nine Profound Immortal who eyed the sabre was the first to act, plucking the weapon straight from the tree.

The trees in the oasis resembled cacti, and the Immortal Artifacts, like treasures, grew upon the “spines” of the “cacti”–easily plucked.

With the Immortal Artifact sabre in hand, the Profound Immortal fondled it affectionately, praising it repeatedly. “Excellent quality! Truly excellent quality! This sabre must have been refined by the Sky-Slaying Immortal Emperor, sealing dozens of attack Formations within. With this sabre, my strength could increase by about double. At the level of a Profound Immortal, I would virtually have no match. Hahaha–great! I’ll take advantage of the time to grab a few more Immortal Artifacts. Hahaha!”

Thus, that level nine Profound Immortal became the first to ‘eat the crab,’ so to speak.

The other treasure hunters didn’t feel any envy; after all, Immortal Artifacts were everywhere, ripe for the taking.

Soon after, several Profound Immortals, as well as Demon Saints, reached out and plucked their own Immortal Artifacts.

“Master, let’s pick some too,” Jiang Yuan urged, quite excited.

Although riddled with doubts, Huang Xiaolong had no solutions at hand and nodded. “Alright, we’ll try picking a few Immortal Artifacts. However, I always feel that things won’t be so simple. We should have some understanding of the Sky-Slaying Immortal Emperor’s temperament. I always believe that he wouldn’t let us acquire treasures this easily.”

Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, the Third Crown Prince and Ninth Princess, who had been ready to reach out, suddenly froze, now hesitating.

At that moment!

“Ah–!!!”

Several heart-wrenching screams pierced the air!

Everyone who had wanted to pick the Immortal Artifacts paused and quickly turned towards the source of the sounds.

“`

The ninth-level Profound Immortal who had obtained the battle blade, as well as the quick-handed few who had picked the Immortal Artifacts, and several members of the Demon Race, almost simultaneously, let out pitiful, unparalleled screams of agony.

A strange scene occurred.

The mystical tree from which they had plucked the Immortal Artifacts burst forth with a hazy light.

The hazy light shone upon them, causing their entire bodies to seemingly petrify, frozen in place, their faces twisted and deformed, eyes bulging out as though they were enduring unbearable pain, their screams escaping involuntarily.

“Wait! Don’t take those Immortal Artifacts! There’s something odd!” The Sword Immortal Emperor reacted extremely quickly, shouting loudly.

Looking again at the few Profound Immortals and members of the Demon Race, they were already engulfed by the hazy light, starting from their feet, ripples spreading upwards.

“Ah~~ No! No! My body! My body~~ My body… is out of control! My soul, my soul seems… seems to be refined by a terrifying force!” The ninth-level Profound Immortal holding the battle blade cried out in despair. “Sword Immortal Emperor, Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, save me! Save me!”

The ripples continued to spread up the legs of these Profound Immortals and Demon Race members, and wherever they passed, their bodies seemed to transform from flesh and blood into a metallic substance.

Eventually, the ripples reached the tops of their heads, transforming their entire bodies into a metallic material.

They finally stopped wailing, standing silently and motionless, like statues.

Their entire bodies radiated with lustrous light, twinkling with immortal splendor! Yet their faces still kept the twisted expressions, eyes bulging, filled with terror and despair.

“What… what is going on!” The Sword Immortal Emperor paled, no longer able to sense a trace of life from those few Profound Immortals holding the Immortal Artifacts.

They perished!

Not only were their physical bodies gone, not even a whisper of their souls remained.

Their souls were utterly destroyed.

The next moment–

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~

The hazy light that clung to these statue-like Profound Immortals and Demon Race members, like spider silk, retracted back.

Causing these perished Profound Immortals and members of the Demon Race to be pulled up onto the tree, appearing as though they had grown from it, identical to the many treasures and Immortal Artifacts hanging there.

The Profound Immortals and Demon Race members hanging from the tree shone brilliantly with immortal radiance and glory…

Huang Xiaolong swept over them with his divine sense without saying a word. “Hmm? These perished Profound Immortals and members of the Demon Race seem to have been transformed into artifacts–how strange. Turning living beings directly into artifacts~~”

“This~ this~ this~~” The Sword Immortal Emperor spoke with a trembling voice. “Their physical bodies have transformed, forged from the finest Immortal Stones. They have been turned into artifacts, and moreover, into supreme artifacts~~~ How can this be? Profound Immortals transformed into supreme artifacts can be controlled at will once they’re recognized by blood, as if… as if one has obtained an avatar~~”

Weird!

The scene plunged into an eerie atmosphere!

The Treasure Hunters who had just been eager to pluck Immortal Artifacts now dared not make any rash moves.

The first wave of Treasure Hunters who had picked Immortal Artifacts had been ensnared, directly refined into artifacts!

The Treasure Hunters who had not yet managed to pluck Immortal Artifacts from the tree were unscathed.

At this time, the voice of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Emperor once again resounded through this oasis–

“Ha ha ha ha~~ Congratulations, Congratulations to all Treasure Hunters. You have crossed the great desert and finally arrived at this oasis. This emperor has not deceived you, right? Once you enter this oasis, you will become immune to the scorching laws of the Flame Realm~~ Are you not feeling much better now? Moreover, the abundance of Immortal Artifacts in this oasis must have astounded you, right? Ahh~~ This emperor has not deceived you, right?”

Hearing the words of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Emperor, the Treasure Hunters were itching with hatred.

Damn it, you haven’t deceived us?

This oasis is like a trap filled with flowers!

In the blink of an eye, several Profound Immortals and members of the Demon Race met a violent death. Not only did they die, they were also refined into artifacts. It was a tremendous humiliation!

To die and then be used as artifacts by others… too tragic!

“Oh, right, all you Treasure Hunters have noticed, haven’t you? The strange trees in this oasis can refine any living creature into an artifact. Once you pick an Immortal Artifact from the tree, you will be targeted by the strange tree, and then, you will be instantly transformed into an artifact. These trees are known as ‘Artifact Trees’ and are extremely rare in the universe. Probably only the Flame Realm possesses ‘Artifact Trees’~~~”

“Treasure Hunters, listen carefully, to pass through the Flame Realm and obtain the most important treasures of the Flame Realm, as well as the key to the third realm, the condition is—-to pluck all the Immortal Artifacts from the Artifact Trees!”
