Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded with shock.
This great fiend came into being and was actually finished off by a youth right away?
Ye Yuan looked at Ye Qing and said with a tragic smile, "You punk, really have some capabilities! What on earth did you do? Why would your strength advance tremendously?"
Ye Qing said with a smile, "You all know that the Dao Spirit Fruit is able to let martial artists step into Deity Realm. Then do you know the origin of the Dao Spirit Tree?
Ye Yuan was stunned, the him who boasted of being all-knowing was also stumped this time.
Legends only had it that the Dao Spirit Tree was a divine tree that could only bear one Dao Spirit Fruit every 1.5 million years.
But the origin of the Dao Spirit Tree, Ye Yuan had never heard before. Because it was likely very hard for even Deity Realm powerhouses to live for as long as 1.5 million years.
Looking at Ye Qing's expression, Ye Yuan suddenly had some realization.
Dao Spirit Tree, Azure Spirit Tree, one word apart, could it be … the two actually had some connections?
Sure enough, Ye Qing said, "Once the Azure Spirit Tree attains Dao, it will transform into a Dao Spirit Tree! But the time required for the evolution of this process is far too long. Hence, there are virtually very few people who know."
Hearing these words, Ye Yuan was endlessly amazed too.
He even thought that the Dao Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spiritual plant and was born a divine tree. He did not think that it actually evolved from an Azure Spirit Tree.
"But this Dao Spirit Tree is clearly already withered, so how did you …" Ye Yuan said curiously.
"This Dao Spirit Tree should be what an ancient powerhouse used to assist the grand array in suppressing the devil flower. It's just, they never expected that this devil flower was incomparably cunning, and actually planted a devil seed on the Dao Spirit Tree, leaching onto the Azure Spirit Tree. Countless years passed, but the life force of the Azure Spirit Tree was drained away by the devil flower. The Dao Spirit Tree and Dao Spirit Fruit that we saw previously were merely an illusion formed by the devil flower. Because she leached on the Dao Spirit Tree, we were completely unable to differentiate the truth and false through the grand array at all."
Ye Qing's words made Ye Yuan sighed endlessly. A perfectly fine Dao Spirit Tree was actually gone just like that.
Ye Qing continued unhurriedly, "Although the Dao Spirit Tree died, how vibrant was its life force? Furthermore, even though that devil flower exhausted the Dao Spirit Tree to death, countless years of suppression still made her expenditure immense. I'm from the same origin as the Dao Spirit Tree, latching onto it directly severed that devil flower's escape route, then I siphoned her life force crazily. Under my scheming, her vitality was greatly injured as well."
Ye Qing did not avoid Jia Lan when talking. After Jia Lan heard, his face turned livid with rage.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but without the Holy Mother Devil Flower, he was completely powerless and alone currently.
"Retreat!" Jia Lan gritted his teeth and said.
He was just thinking of moving but discovered that a large group of martial artists already encircled the surroundings.
These martial artists were all remnants under the Holy Mother Devil Flower's besiegement. 100 thousand martial artists, only two to three thousand people remained.
Their hatred towards Jia Lan was completely unable to use words to describe.
"Run! Go on and run!"
"You, these insidious and cunning fiends, didn't think that there would be instant-retribution, right?"
"Everybody, attack together! We must rip this guy's corpse apart!"
The martial artists able to survive were all experts among experts. Even if not divine king powerhouses, their concept's comprehension was definitely very high as well.
Their strength left no room for doubt.
These two to three thousand martial artists attacking together was really more than what Jia Lan could handle.
Except, Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, still feeling that something was not right.
Logically speaking, the die was cast. But why was the foreboding premonition in his heart getting heavier and heavier?
Right then, a glint appeared in Ye Yuan's gaze. He caught a hint of a mocking smile at the corners of Jia Lan's mouth!
Although it was only that instant, it was absolutely not wrong!
"Not good! Everybody, quickly scatter! The Holy Mother Devil Flower isn't dead at all! She lured everyone over to catch all in one fell swoop!" Ye Yuan yelled.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone's faces changed greatly. They would no longer doubt Ye Yuan's words. Each and every one urged their movement technique to the limits, wanting to escape this stretch of land.
Right at this time, black gas rose up on the surface of the ground and enveloped everyone inside all at once.
Chapter 1075 - Despairing Laughter
In a blink of an eye, countless devil vines broke out of the earth.
In a relatively narrow and small radius, these martial artists had no time to even run at all!
Those countless devil vines towered up into the sky, sealing off all of their escape routes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Purplish-black devil vines entangled these people tightly. Not a single one escaped, including Ye Yuan and Ye Qing!
With this, it was actually total annihilation!
Ye Yuan was still thinking of merging into heaven and earth, but the devil vines did not give him any chance at all, directly smacking him out of the void.
Ye Yuan's hands and legs were completely restrained. All the essence energy in his body actually could not be used at all!
This Holy Mother Devil Flower was seriously too bizarre.
That Holy Mother Devil Flower was not finished off by Ye Qing at all, but infiltrated underground, in order to prepare this final blow.
The more those martial artists killed, the more scattered they got, and the more powerful their strength as well. Routing individually was rather difficult.
But this Holy Mother Devil Flower acted out a big play together with Jia Lan, appearing weak to the enemy, and deceiving everyone.
"ARGH!!"
"ARGH!!"
"ARGH!!"
...
Waves of tragic screams lingered incessantly. The remaining martial artists were also drained of blood essence one by one.
Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, however, the devil vines seemed to not have the intention of making a move for the time being yet.
That beautiful woman walked out from among the devil vines and came before Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, while Jia Lan followed closely behind.
"Giggle, little babies whose hairs aren't even fully grown yet actually pulled tricks with this holy mother. You guys are still a bit too inexperienced!" the beautiful lady said with a chuckle.
This beautiful woman was peerlessly amorous. Slender and graceful, blue upper-garment half-exposed, one look, and it could hook away a person's soul.
With this chuckle, she was even more stunningly beautiful.
But how could the current Ye Yuan be in the mood to go and admire her beauty? This fiendish woman was not a kind person. That was an existence that could claim lives.
The devilish woman lightly c.a.r.e.s.sed Ye Qing's face and said with a smile, "Azure Spirit Tree child, even your ancestor wasn't my match, let alone you! Allowed you some benefits, but you know how to give a plum in return for a peach and lured so many people over. This holy mother really doesn't know how to thank you!"
Ye Qing glared at the devilish woman, bared his teeth in anger, and said, "You despicable and insidious woman, this young lord will definitely kill you personally!~"
But the devilish woman did not care a whit. She still giggled and said, "Why does it sound like you're praising me? Little child, you can't even fend for yourself right now, still thinking about killing me?"
"Shameless!"
Ye Yuan spat.
The devilish woman spun in front of Ye Yuan, her breath like orchids as she said with a light laugh, "Little child, you're very decent! All of the people were beguiled by the Dao Spirit Fruit, but only you were able to maintain your original heart. Truly not easy. It's just a shame that your strength is a little weak. Otherwise, you really might pose a threat to this holy mother."
At this time, Jia Lan stepped forward and said to the devilish woman, "Lord Holy Mother, this boy is this era's son of heaven's mandate. Not only does he have Absolute Heaven's Vast Heaven Stele, even the Soul Suppressing Pearl, which the Heaven One Sect lost, is actually in his hands too! This boy can't be spared. Lord Holy Mother better kill him as soon as possible."
The moment Jia Lan said that, even the devilish woman was endlessly shocked too.
"What did you say? The Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, these two items are both in his possession?" The devilish woman's voice raised an octave, looking at Ye Yuan with flickering bewilderment.
Jia Lan nodded and said, "Absolutely true!"
He recounted the matter of just breaking open the seal several years ago, leaving the devilish woman unbelievably astonished.
The Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl were existences capable of threatening the fiend race but gathered in the hands of one person. It could be seen how powerful Ye Yuan's destiny was.
"If it's as you said, this boy absolutely can't be spared! Forget it, kill and be done with things here! With the death of the son of heaven's mandate, nobody can stop the footsteps of my fiend race's ascent!" said the devilish woman.
No one saw the devilish woman made any action. But then, vines started to devour Ye Yuan's blood essence frenziedly.
The vines seemed to have grown roots and sprouted on his body, directly growing into his flesh, drawing all the blood in his body out.
Ye Yuan's body started to be like the other martial artists, rapidly shriveling.
This devilish woman killed people with batting an eyelid from start to end and was not the least bit long-winded at all, killing right away.
At this time, the essence energy in Ye Yuan's entire body was being controlled. He was completely unable to use an iota of strength.
Ye Yuan knew that at this rate, he was dead for sure!
Gritting his teeth, Ye Yuan poured all of his emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele in one go.
Rumble!
A surge of terrifying strength that originated from the primordial suddenly awakened within Ye Yuan's body, directly sending the devilish woman and Jia Lan flying out.
The devil vines immediately collapsed under this surge of power that swept away all obstacles in the way, turning into a pile of fine powder.
The devilish woman's expression suddenly changed and said, "Not good, this boy is already capable of controlling the Vast Heaven Stele!"
Ye Yuan gave a loud cry. He shouted, "Vast Heaven Stele, suppress for me!"
The Vast Heaven Stele immediately flew out from inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and suppressed down on the devilish woman and Jia Lan, akin to an enormous mountain.
Rumble!
The earth immediately started quaking. The Vast Heaven Stele directly suppressed the devilish woman and Jia Lan below.
Ye Yuan was very clear that the Vast Heaven Stele's suppression carried powers of law. Back then, when resisting the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, it was evenly-matched too.
Using it to suppress a few fiendish things should not be any problem.
Dong dong dong!
Those vines retreated like tidewater once more. It was just that this time, the martial artists that still survived were scanty few.
Even a Void Mystic powerhouse like Sword Thirteen was also more dead than alive at this time, only left with one breath.
How could those divine king experts still be capable of surviving?
But Ye Yuan completely could not be bothered with them anymore. His blood essence was also drained as much as 40% in one go. Adding the 10% blood essence that using the Sacred Dragon Token previously expended, half of the blood essence within his body was drawn away.
Adding on activating the Vast Heaven Stele, the emperor qi in his body was stripped empty.
Current, Ye Yuan's entire person was dispirited and inert, also merely left with one breath hanging in there.
This devilish woman was too terrifying. In just this half a day's time, close to 50 thousand martial artists were actually slaughtered clean by her!
However, Ye Qing's condition was much better than Ye Yuan's.
He came over to support Ye Yuan and said, rather embarrassedly, "Sorry, i-it was my oversight."
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing to do with you. This devilish woman is too cunning. Furthermore, she's an existence that even an ancient major power could not take care of. How could she be so easy to kill?"
His voice had yet to fade when the Vast Heaven Stele suddenly started to shake vigorously.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan and Ye Qing's expressions both changed drastically.
Could it be that this devilish woman still had the strength to spare?
The Vast Heaven Stele was already Ye Yuan's final means. If it was still useless, they could only wait to die.
Ye Yuan's expression became incomparably ugly. However, the matter still developed in the worst direction.
"Hehe, such a shame … You've only barely managed to activate the Vast Heaven Stele and can't even use one-ten thousandth of its capabilities. Using it to suppress this holy mother is still inadequate! Boy, you can go and die already!" The devilish woman's coquettish voice suddenly sounded out, making Ye Yuan and Ye Qing give rise to despair in their hearts.
Chapter 1076 - Divine Sword 'Evil Extermination'
The Vast Heaven Stone Stele suddenly started trembling intensely. Clouds of black gas crept out from the bottom of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele.
The more black gas that gathered, the more terrifying the fiendish energy. That violent fiendish energy actually propped the Vast Heaven Stone Stele up!
Rumble!
The Vast Heaven Stone Stele was actually pushed flying just like this!
This surge of fiendish energy was seriously too powerful.
The devilish woman's lithe figure indistinctly appeared and disappeared in the black gas.
"Hehe, without heaven and earth laws, there's no way to achieve the Deity Realm. Even if you're the son of heaven's mandate, you're unable to unleash the true power of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele. You're still too tender to be suppressing this holy mother. Little child, this big sister will send you on your way right now. It won't be too painful."
At this time, the devilish woman's fiendish energy surged to the sky, dyeing the entire sky black. Jia Lan's fiendish energy simply paled in comparison in front of her!
However, even though the devilish woman was fine, Jia Lan's fleshy body was crushed into pieces by the Vast Heaven Stone Stele.
The fleshy body that he cultivated for several years was actually ruined just like this.
The current Jia Lan became a cloud of black gas once more, even emitting wailing sounds continuously.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he revealed a look of despair as well.
No wonder Jia Lan was so respectfully in front of her. Being suppressed for countless of years, she actually still had such formidable strength.
The terrifying devil vines turned into sharp spikes and directly stabbed over towards Ye Yuan.
This was a lethal blow. Ye Yuan no longer had strength leftover to resist.
Ye Qing's expression changed. Two hands forming a seal, he similarly summoned innumerable vines, attempting to resist those sharp spikes' assassination.
It was just that his vines could not stand up to a single blow at all in front of the devil vine.
The sharp spikes broke through the blockade like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, charging towards Ye Yuan and Ye Qing.
; Ye Yuan shut his eyes painfully. Even the Vast Heaven Stone Stele could not deal with this devilish woman. He was really completely out of ideas.
He knew that this devilish woman still had not recovered to her peak state currently. Once this devilish woman came into being, probably even the Ten Great Divine Kings were not a match either.
Just as Ye Yuan was at the boundary of awaiting death, a change suddenly occurred!
Rumble …
Inside the void, incomparably piercingly cold sword energy suddenly erupted.
Above the sky, countless pale-yellow sword energy surged willfully, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
That towering fiendish energy was actually gradually dissipated by these.
Whoosh!
A ray of pale-yellow sword energy tore through the sky, directly chopping down from high up in the air.
The vines currently stabbing towards Ye Yuan were actually forcefully chopped in half by this ray of sword energy.
The devilish woman was just being pleased with herself when all of a sudden, her expression changed greatly, and she looked towards above the sky abruptly.
"Damn it! Absolute Heaven that old bastard, he actually even prepared a contingency plan! This sword energy is definitely Evil Extermination!"
The devilish woman cried out in alarm, her scream filled with dread.
On the face of the all along incomparably composed devilish woman, a look of panic finally appeared on her face.
Seizing the opportunity where the devilish woman was absent-minded, Ye Qing grabbed Ye Yuan and sprinted into the distance.
Toward Ye Qing's action, the devilish woman did not stop him at all. She had a look of panic on her face and yelled, "Quickly leave! It's the Evil Extermination Sword! Absolute Heaven that old bastard, so irritating even after he died!"
How could the devilish woman still care about finding trouble with Ye Yuan? She immediately turned into an afterimage, speeding for the Immemorial Medicine Garden's exit.
Jia Lan, Sun Ma, and the rest also knew that things were bad, all fleeing for their lives like flying.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At this time, shattering sounds came from above the void. A rift was actually directly torn open in that space.
