Chapter 1975 - 1973: Deciding to Seize the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit

[Subscribe, please!!!]Ten Thousand Demon Tree!

That is an existence of immense terror, once sweeping across the world in the Mythical Era, soaring through the heavenly vault, piercing the universe. Despite appearing in people’s sights only once throughout history, it left an unforgettable mark on the living beings of the Martial World for generations. When the chaos of the Mythical Era descended, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree joined a faction that claimed the lives of many near-immortal supreme beings, causing the fall of many strong and eminent figures in the Emperor Realm. In the Martial World, how many beings could achieve such feats?

The brutality of that battle in the Mythical Era is well-known, with countless saints fallen and emperors gone. The Ten Thousand Demon Tree also suffered great damage in that battle. Yet, its formidable power and its savage act of devouring millions of beings’ flesh and blood were witnessed by all. Even now, many legends of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree circulate throughout the Martial World!

What Ye Tianchen never expected was that the Ten Thousand Demon Tree was strong to such an extent. During the battle in the Mythical Era, it also perished. However, as it fell, it separated its body and roots while leaving behind a Nirvana Rebirth seed. Now, this seed has sprouted and grown in the Original Restricted Zone of the Penglai Ancient Martial World, while its roots are in the Medicine King Valley of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, continuously absorbing nature’s spiritual energy. One of the longest roots, resembling a vine, towers towards the sky, its summit bearing a crystal-clear fruit!

Arrangement!

This is the arrangement the Ten Thousand Demon Tree made over thousands of years. Unwilling to perish, and desiring to reclaim its past glory, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree embarked on the Nirvana Rebirth path amidst the devastating battle in the Mythical Era. It left its roots in the Martial World, along with the Nirvana seed. Now, it only needs to wait for the fruit born on the roots to mature, and the newborn Ten Thousand Demon Tree will absorb its power, restoring its former strength and becoming itself once more!

"This Ten Thousand Demon Tree is indeed extraordinary. Its arrangements reach such depths!" Little Demon Bat Beast couldn’t help but say.

"Look at the fruit on the tallest vine. It should mature within two years. By then, the reborn Ten Thousand Demon Tree from the Original Restricted Zone in the Penglai Ancient Martial World will try to absorb the strength of the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit here. Who will be able to resist its power at that time? But why now? Could it be..." Ye Tianchen muttered to himself, suddenly realizing something, freezing in shock, an expression of admiration and contemplation appearing in his eyes as he stared at the nearby Ten Thousand Demon Tree vine.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen seemed to have realized something, staring dazedly at the nearby Ten Thousand Demon Tree vine, feeling an ominous sensation. This feeling is that the Ten Thousand Demon Tree truly is a supreme being whose arrangements are incredibly deep, not only setting up the scheme for its Nirvana Rebirth but timing its rebirth perfectly with this period.

What kind of period is this? It’s a time when the Magic Law of the Martial World is changing, seemingly on the brink of another dark turmoil, a period of waiting for billions of years, when the Immortal Road seems about to open again. This Ten Thousand Demon Tree once appeared during the dark turmoil of the Mythical Era, slaughtering fiercely and devouring billions of lives. Is it now to follow the same course in its rebirth during such an era? What’s its ultimate goal? To once again devour billions of lives to strengthen itself and finally embark on the road to Eternal Life?

Too terrifying, this Ten Thousand Demon Tree is immensely terrifying. Originally, upon seeing the Ten Thousand Demon Tree in the Original Restricted Zone of the Penglai Ancient Martial World, hearing Little Zhu Yan recount its power, Ye Tianchen merely thought it was a being comparable to strong figures of the Emperor Realm. But now, witnessing the vine and considering the series of events, Ye Tianchen truly feels this Ten Thousand Demon Tree is terror without bounds, likely becoming one of his great enemies in the future.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Little Demon Bat Beast asked, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"You wait here while I go retrieve the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit!" Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

"This... is too, too dangerous!" Little Demon Bat Beast couldn’t help but speak.

"Don’t you also want me to get that Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit? Just wait here for me!" Ye Tianchen glanced at Little Demon Bat Beast and said.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen vanished from his original spot, heading towards the Ten Thousand Demon Tree vine. The location of the vine’s growth wasn’t toward the deep part of Medicine King Valley, but it wasn’t too far off either. With Ye Tianchen’s speed, he could reach it in a single breath.

Seeing Ye Tianchen rush towards the Ten Thousand Demon Tree vine, aiming to pick the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit, Little Demon Bat Beast couldn’t help but flash a sly smile, though it quickly vanished, without Ye Tianchen noticing, nor seeing it.

Swipe!

When Ye Tianchen arrived before the Ten Thousand Demon Tree vine, he noticed the roots digging deep underground. The entire vine grew beneath a massive pit, which, according to Ye Tianchen’s estimation, wasn’t naturally formed. Over countless years, the spiritual energy essence from this land had been absorbed by the vine, causing the land to collapse, which wasn’t surprising!

"Such enormous roots, resembling vines, and these vines are as thick as large trees. Regardless, I must take this Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit at least, to prevent the Ten Thousand Demon Tree from recovering too quickly. For the Martial World, this would mean a great calamity!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think.

Imagine, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree appeared once in the chaotic period of the Mythical Era, it was incredibly strong, making people tremble. It could fight with powerful figures of the Emperor Realm, showcasing unmatched strength. When it emerged, its roots and branches spread across the Martial World, devouring countless beings’ flesh and blood, exhibiting a brutality unmatched by many supreme beings. Once this Ten Thousand Demon Tree recovers in an era where emperors do not emerge and saints are rare, won’t it become the Martial World’s ruler? Won’t it become invincible? Every living being in the Martial World would suffer, unable to escape its orders to devour flesh. Ye Tianchen is not so noble to act for others; even for himself and his loved ones, he must act!

Whoosh!

Who could have known, as soon as Ye Tianchen reached not far from the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine, a branch shot towards him, swift and powerful. Ye Tianchen could feel it, and frowned, immediately punching to smash it.

Crash!

A branch was shattered by Ye Tianchen, yet before he could react, other branches came charging like sharp swords, aiming to cut him down.

Buzz!

"This kind of demon tree, what use do you have being kept?"

Ye Tianchen wielded the Taie Sword, and with a single swipe, slashed the branch attempting to stab him into pieces. His whole body transformed into a beam of golden light, sprinting swiftly towards the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine. He didn’t have time to delay here; he must quickly obtain the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was strong, and the Taie Sword was extremely sharp, continuously attacking the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine, severing many slender roots in a short time. He was now less than ten meters away from the main body of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen realized how enormous the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine truly was. This wasn’t just any vine; it was far larger than most ordinary trees. If he hadn’t seen the actual Ten Thousand Demon Tree in the Original Restricted Zone of the Ancient Martial World in Penglai, Ye Tianchen might have thought this was the main body of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree. These massive vines were beyond description with a mere word "vine."

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen tried to approach the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine, cutting down many small roots that stabbed at him. However, just as he was about to get closer, a huge root swung towards him.

Instinctively wielding his sword, Ye Tianchen swung the Taie Sword to block. As he slashed the vine that struck back, Ye Tianchen only heard a clanging sound.

Clang!

The light ring of the sound startled Ye Tianchen. He never expected his Taie Sword to clash with the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine and produce such a sound.

Swish!

Crash!

Unfortunately, before Ye Tianchen could react, he was sent flying, as if a giant hand had smacked him to the ground, creating a huge crater in the earth. But it wasn’t over; the vine that flung Ye Tianchen transformed into a spear, stabbing down towards the dust-filled crater.

Puff!

Blood spurted into the air, shocking even the distant Little Demon Bat Beast, leaving it utterly flabbergasted. Ye Tianchen was strong, as witnessed by several demon beasts along the way, yet he was sent flying after just a few moves against the Ten Thousand Demon Tree Vine? And now blood was spraying out — was he really defeated like this?

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen rushed out of the dust, frowning deeply, glancing at the wound on his shoulder. If he hadn’t dodged swiftly, that spear-like vine might have pierced his body through. Yet, he was utterly amazed — how powerful and sharp was the Taie Sword? A single slash could cleave the heavens, yet it couldn’t sever the vines of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree. It was simply unbelievable... (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly tickets.
