Demons stood frozen like statues.
Chen Mo landed, sheathing his sword.
Crack—
The huge body, five zhang tall, slowly split from the middle, collapsing like a mountain, and thundered down towards the ground.
In an instant, sand flew, stones raced, dust covered the sun, and blood flowed like a river, turning into a blood rain that fell from the sky. The white mist in the air was stained with blood, looking like a scene straight out of Shura Hell!
"This can’t be possible..."
Jue Ling had not yet taken his last breath, lying on the ground, half of his face in a daze.
He was just one step away from fully rging with the flesh and being reborn... And once again, it was Chen Mo, this detestable man!
He regained his wits, eyes fixed dead on Chen Mo, filled with resentnt and hatred.
"The master is already aware of your existence, Empress You Ji will take action personally... Just you wait, you won’t et a good end!"
"Before that, let’s send you on your way."
Chen Mo looked indifferent, dark light pierced through the skull, completely extinguishing Jue Ling’s last bit of life, then forcefully gouged out the "Ji" marked Demon Pupil.
[Killed demon creature: Jue Ling, True Spirit 500.]
[Obtained rare item: Ji-level Demon Pupil (damaged).]
[All target Demon Clan mbers dead.]
[Event concluded.]
[Evaluation: Excellent.]
[True Spirit 700.]
[Obtained Cultivation Technique: "Xuantian Canglong Transformation."]
...
What happened next was slower to describe than it occurred; everything unfolded in a split second, before onlookers could even react, it was all over.
Seeing the giant corpse split into two, the envoys of the Demon Suppression Departnt felt as if they were in a dream, sowhat disbelieving.
They dealt with demon creatures all year round and naturally knew how terrifying Ji-level Demons were.
It actually died just like that?!
And that was under the influence of this strange white mist, unable to use its full strength...
"Is this the Mr. Chen who’s known as the nesis of the Demon Clan?"
"That sword strike was just too terrifying! I think I saw a dragon..."
Lin Jingzhu looked at the tall figure, his eyes complicated, "He’s beco much stronger, progressing so fast in just two months, what a monster... Brr, it’s so cold..."
Chen Mo didn’t rush to check his rewards, but instead approached the towering ancient tree.
The others regained their composure and followed.
Four envoys were entangled in vines, pale-faced, their life and death uncertain, with more than half of their bodies already embedded in the trunk.
Chen Mo took his sword and cut the vines, reaching to pull an envoy out by the arm.
Suddenly, the envoy’s closed eyes abruptly opened, revealing snow-white pupils void of irises, gazing eerily at him.
?!
Chen Mo realized sothing was wrong, just about to let go when several envoys reached out and grabbed him firmly, dragging him forward.
The tree trunk opened a vast crevice, like the mouth of an abyss, seemingly about to swallow him!
"Be careful!"
Lin Jingzhu reacted the fastest, wrapped his arms around Chen Mo’s waist, intending to pull him back.
However, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree, a surging force ca through, and both n sank into the pitch-black fissure one after the other!
Imdiately after, the crevice closed rapidly, as if nothing had happened.
"Damn, are these arrest officers fishing for law enforcent?"
A thought flashed through Chen Mo’s mind, and then he was completely engulfed by darkness.
"Mr. Chen!"
Seeing Chen Mo swallowed by the ancient tree, the envoys turned deathly pale, so at a loss.
Li Siya’s eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said, "Haoran, go down the mountain at once to send a ssage for reinforcents! The rest of you, follow to cut the tree! Even if we have to claw with our hands or gnaw with our mouths, we must dig Mr. Chen out!"
"Yes!"
...
"Where is this?"
"Oh right, I was eaten by the big tree, should be inside the trunk now."
"But this place doesn’t look like the inside of a trunk..."
Chen Mo floated in a void, unable to discern up from down, left from right, as if suspended in the cosmic vacuum, all he could see was darkness and chaos.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this giant tree was the Creation Ancient Tree.
In the original plot, it was a neutral living creature with its own spiritual intelligence, a spirit of heaven and earth.
Completing the random events it set out would grant the "Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit," a miraculous item that could forcibly extend one’s life and was also a primary material for crafting Creation Golden Pills.
"But in the ga, it didn’t release white mist, nor did it eat people..."
"What has it beco?"
Chen Mo was puzzled.
Then, a splendid beam of light shone in the void.
Guided by a mysterious force, Chen Mo flew towards the source of the light.
The sphere of light hovered in the air, pulsating like a heart, evoking a very familiar feeling, as if it was connected to him by blood.
His heartbeat gradually synchronized with the pulsing of the light, his expression dazed, reaching out uncontrollably to touch it.
The white light blazed brighter, seemingly very excited.
Just as his finger was about to touch the sphere of light, Chen Mo’s actions suddenly halted, the blank expression swept away, his face now wearing a mocking smile.
"You seem in a hurry? Want to eat , but are your teeth sharp enough?"
Boom!
The sphere of light, as if enraged, vibrated and twisted violently, turning into a white whirlpool. A massive suction force erged, dragging Chen Mo towards it.
"Soul Suppressing!"
With the soul as an anchor, no fear of external evil!
Chen Mo activated the "Supre Heart-Cleansing Mantra," with the glow of the Golden Core shining from the Spirit Platform, his figure instantly stable as a mountain.
"Hmph, it’s still uncertain who will consu whom!"
He opened his palm, aid at the sphere of light, and activated the Soul Capturing Divine Ability.
Mysterious Magic Seals lit up, strands of white light escaping from the sphere, continuously consud by him.
The sphere of light sensed the crisis, began spinning faster, and its suction force instantly increased several folds, leading to a stalemate with Chen Mo.
"Quite vigorous..."
While Chen Mo was using Soul Capturing, his other hand produced a Dao Essence Crystal and crushed it with a bang!
