Chapter 241: You Truly Deserve Death!
As Lu Qingyang gave the order.
The Chaotian Fleet set out.
“Boom!”
As the Southern Heavenly Gate’s cross-realm teleportation suddenly activated.
A giant portal of light abruptly stood atop Chaotian Heavy Industries’ formation base!
The Chaotian Fleet majestically sailed into the portal, vanishing into the vast Demon Domain.
As the many Dharma Ships entered.
The Thirty-Three Heavens mothership also rumbled as it flew into the teleportation formation.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Accompanied by the roaring.
The Thirty-Three Heavens mothership spanned across Chaotian Heavy Industries’ teleportation formation.
Like walls of steel, they guarded above the formation.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz~”
At the same time.
The defensive restrictions on the Thirty-Three Heavens mothership fully opened.
“Rumble~”
After a wave of spatial fluctuation, the mothership’s massive form vanished.
Immediately after, the Chaotian Palace, driven by Lu Qingyang, also dove into the teleportation formation.
The entire Chaotian Palace transformed into a streak of resplendent starlight, merging into the teleportation formation.
Instantly, the teleportation formation erupted with blinding divine radiance, dazzling and brilliant.
“Whoosh—”
In the blink of an eye, the light of the Southern Heavenly Gate’s cross-realm teleportation extinguished.
The Demon Domain returned to tranquility…
Seven Stars Sea Region.
Outside Tiangong Island. This place had fallen under the Demon Race’s rule in the eighth year of their invasion into the Central Region.
Tiangong Island was now occupied by a band of demonic beasts.
The Soul-Devouring Tree Demons could be considered a rather peculiar race among the Demon Race.
This race belonged to plant-type demonic beasts.
But they consumed flesh and blood, and were especially fond of the souls of living beings.
Among the Demon Race, they could be considered a top-tier race in the second tier, just below the Five Hegemons.
And Tiangong Island, occupied by the Soul-Devouring Tree Demons, was now like a hell on earth.
The island that was once green mountains and clear waters was now a scene of blood-red.
The island was eerie and terrifying, with skeletons piled like mountains and forests.
The courtyards and residences of the former disciples, the cave residences and pavilions—the scene now was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Beards and hair hung like mats across rock walls and buildings.
Rotten flesh and skin had decayed into dust and muck.
Human tendons and bones were wrapped around tree trunks, dried and brittle, flickering with silver light.
Blood dyed the sea outside Tiangong Island red, the stench unbearable.
And at this moment, the Soul-Devouring Clan Chief, hundreds of meters tall, comfortably soaked its roots in a Spirit Lake atop Tiangong Island’s highest peak.
It had discovered this Spirit Lake when it occupied Tiangong Island.
So it had given this Spirit Lake a name.
Called—Soul Pool.
At this moment, in the Soul Pool, several thick vines swayed madly.
Each vine was covered in dense, tiny branches.
On these branches grew tightly packed small tentacles.
At this moment, these vines were madly devouring the rich spiritual energy in the Soul Pool.
“These humans really know how to enjoy themselves.”
In the Soul Pool, the small tentacles on the vines writhed, emitting sounds like a baby’s babbling.
Watching its body being nourished by such rich spiritual energy.
The Soul-Devouring Clan Chief could not help but sway its body.
Their race did not like to take human form.
Normally they showed their true bodies.
Often, once they rooted somewhere, they did not wish to move again.
Especially after it discovered this blessed land, it liked to linger here even more.
In its joy, its branches suddenly curled.
From a distant cave, it dragged out a Golden Core cultivator!
“Beast! Even as a ghost, I will not let you off!!”
The captured Golden Core cultivator roared and howled.
Unexpectedly, it only smiled faintly.
“Heh heh…”
“You humans always like to talk tough.”
As his words fell, the branches pierced into the Golden Core cultivator’s skull like sharp swords.
“Splat!”
Bright red blood sprayed from the wound, splattering onto the surrounding grass and trees.
Soon, the surrounding tree roots and vines, like greedy snakes, madly sucked at the fresh blood.
Drop by drop, in the blink of an eye, its roots were dyed red.
“Sss, sss, sss~”
The Golden Core cultivator’s body rapidly withered.
In just a moment, the Golden Core cultivator who had been lively just moments ago had become a dried corpse, his essence drained by the branches.
And those branches became even more luxuriant, even sprouting new buds.
It looked extremely eerie and chilling.
But the Soul-Devouring Tree Demon did not stop devouring.
It continued urging those branches, drawing out the remaining flesh and blood of the Golden Core cultivator.
After eating clean, its red light suddenly blazed.
Within that demonic red light, a flickering human figure flashed.
This figure was blurry, only vaguely identifiable as male.
It was none other than the living soul of that Golden Core cultivator from just now!
“Whoosh!”
The red light trembled violently, the living soul struggling fiercely.
In an instant.
The red light scattered, and the living soul vanished with it.
“Hoo—”
The Soul-Devouring Tree Demon took several deep breaths before calming down.
Clearly, that living soul was an excellent supplement for it.
“Zzz, zzz~”
The Soul-Devouring Tree Demon gently swayed its branches, emitting cries of comfort.
In the cave behind it, countless figures of human cultivators could still be vaguely seen.
“Comfortable. This life is far more comfortable than back in the Demon Domain.”
The Soul-Devouring Clan Chief was in a joyous mood, and could not help but want to curl its branches and give itself another meal.
But just at this moment, its branches and leaves suddenly shook, as if sensing something.
Immediately after, a vibration came from within the mountain peak.
Like an earth dragon turning over.
“Hm?”
“What’s going on?”
The Soul-Devouring Clan Chief was stunned, puzzled.
But soon, the confusion on its bark-like face turned to shock:
“Crack!”
“Bang!”
Accompanied by the sound of shattering.
The massive body of Chaotian Peak directly collapsed, exploding apart.
Countless fragments flew, smoke billowed, obscuring the view.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The sounds of the mountain collapsing came continuously, deafening.
For a time, Tiangong Island seemed to have fallen into an apocalypse.
“What’s going on?!”
The Soul-Devouring Clan Chief was both shocked and furious.
With its cultivation, it could naturally see the hundreds of massive figures that suddenly appeared in the rolling smoke and dust.
Having fought humans for so many years, it of course knew what those things were.
“That’s… Human Dharma Ships!”
“How could that possibly be!”
“And what is that?!”
The next moment, the Soul-Devouring Clan Chief’s body shook, revealing a look of terror.
“Buzz~”
In the sky-filling smoke and dust, a vast ‘continent’ suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, a “great sun” actually appeared in the sky as well!
And before it could sort out its thoughts.
An icy voice suddenly rang out from the ‘great sun’:
“You truly deserve death!”
Boom!
As the icy voice echoed.
A spear flickering with immortal white light shot out from the ‘great sun’ like a comet.
Carrying an aura of annihilation, it pierced toward the Soul-Devouring Clan Chief.
This strike was too strong.
So strong that the Soul-Devouring Clan Chief, a Supreme, could not even muster the thought of resistance.
My life is over!!
It wailed inwardly.
The vast Immortal Might pressed down on it, making it unable to move a single step.
Every branch and vine on its body stood rigidly in place!
“No!!”
It let out a shrill wail.
In its despair, it ultimately still desperately urged its demonic power, trying to block this spear!
Unfortunately, all of it was futile.
“Splat!”
“Boom!”
The Immortal Spear pierced through, instantly nailing it to death atop Chaotian Peak.
“Boom!”
The towering Chaotian Peak was even split in half by this spear.
Endless smoke and dust swept in all directions.
And as the smoke spread.
A figure in azure robes slowly descended from the ‘great sun’…
