Celestial being

Inside the cave.

The lingering power of Lanke's chessboard self-destruction has not yet dissipated, and there are still raging shock waves rushing back and forth throughout the cave, mixed with thunderous echoes, causing severe pain in the eardrums and dizziness of everyone in the cave.

After a long time, the terrifying residual power gradually weakened.

There was no movement from the hanging branches of the immortal tree at this moment, and there was no breath coming from it. It seemed that it had suffered heavy damage and died together with the Lanke chessboard.

Near it, many tree puppets that were too close and were affected were also seriously injured and died by the terrifying power. For a time, corpses were everywhere.

Such a tragic scene made many monks marvel, and for a while no one dared to come forward to check.

Yuan Ming did not let go of this perfect opportunity, and let Huazhi rush over quickly, collecting the dead tree puppets on the ground and putting them into the Shura Blood Devouring Chart. He even picked up seven or eight Nascent Soul-level puppets. .

These corpses were moved by him to the Tiantian Cauldron space. The black tree immediately extended its roots and pierced into their bodies, frantically absorbing the remaining power of the immortal tree.

The people who had already fled far away resurfaced one by one at this time, looking towards the Immortal Demonic Tree.

Looking at the hellish scene here, everyone showed expressions of lingering fear.

Even fifth-level monsters like the big man in green and Jin Chao were startled by Lanke's self-destruction, and they all looked a little disgraced after hurriedly escaping.

"This is too ridiculous!" Jin Chao couldn't help but sigh.

"Thanks to that weapon's bravery and fearlessness, otherwise we would never have a chance to come back! It's a pity that there will no longer be a bad chessboard in the world." The man in green sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

He was also very interested in Lan Ke's chessboard due to its magical abilities.

Hei Zhusou, Shi Yanshi and others were not as sentimental as the big man in green, their faces were full of ecstasy.

They were almost desperate, but fortunately Lanke Qiban was not afraid of death and dragged the undead tree demon to death together.

At this moment, Luo Qi in the crowd turned his wrist, a light flashed in his palm, and the Daluo chessboard, which was made to imitate the Lanke chessboard, flew up from his hand, spinning endlessly.

Amid everyone's astonishment, the black and white lights on the Daluo chessboard lit up, condensing into the silhouette of the black and white weapon spirit.

"The weapon spirit is not dead?" For a moment, the same question came to everyone's mind.

"It seems that this black and white weapon spirit has been planning for a long time. He has long been preparing to self-destruct to deal with the undead tree demon, and then he asked people outside to refine the Great Luo chessboard." Inside the Tiantian Cauldron, Yuan Ming saw this scene and was suspicious of the black and white weapon spirit's plan. After all, I'm a little more impressed.

"Don't let your guard down. The Immortal Demonic Tree was only seriously injured by me and has not really fallen. While it is weak, continue attacking quickly and don't give it a chance to recover." As soon as the black and white weapon spirit condensed into shape, he immediately spoke urgently. of opening.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, even Yuan Ming was stunned.

They each also investigated and found that there was no fluctuation on the immortal demon tree. They all thought it was dead, but how could they dare not believe the words of the black and white weapon spirit.

Everyone immediately regained their composure and hurriedly took action, attacking with all their strength without reservation, one after another towards the Immortal Demonic Tree.

Hou Yi's sun-shooting bow, which had been silent all this time, once again lit up with dazzling light. Three Golden Crow divine arrows, which were smaller than before, appeared on the bow string. They were drawn perfectly and shot straight towards the Immortal Demonic Tree.

A "whoosh" sound was heard!

Three arrows turned into streams of light and shot out quickly, hitting the top, middle and bottom of the Immortal Demonic Tree one after another, and went straight into its body.

"Boom boom boom"

Three loud explosions sounded, and the dark underground cave was instantly obscured by dazzling golden light. Almost everyone was temporarily blinded.

Immediately afterwards, the explosive hurricane spread in all directions with extremely powerful impact, blowing corpses and rocks everywhere, and the entire cave was in chaos.

Everyone put up their magic weapons to defend themselves. Only the Golden Nest was bathed in the power of the sun, and they looked over there with wide eyes.

He saw that the body of the immortal demon tree was broken into four parts by the violent explosion and scattered in all directions.

Inside the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming used his consciousness to carefully sense the inside of the undead tree demon, and soon discovered something.

The aura of the undead demonic tree had long since completely dissipated, and the remaining power of the soul had quickly dissipated. The movement of the tree puppets in the cave had become sluggish, and they fell one after another.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He suffered fatal injuries one after another. Even if the immortal tree had amazing vitality, it would be difficult to survive.

Yuan Ming calmed down and continued to let Huazhi transport the tree puppets in, while he concentrated on controlling the black immortal tree and absorbing the vitality of these tree puppets. The huge tree grew much taller again.

Yuan Ming's whole body exuded a strong aura of life, surging violently.

His Jumang Lingjue improved again, finally touching the fourth level and beginning to break through.

Yuan Ming was overjoyed and ran the Jumang Ling Jue with all his strength.

His connection with the black undead tree became increasingly close, and his mana and the vitality of the undead tree were completely integrated, regardless of each other.

The fourth level of Jumang Lingjue has been successfully broken through!

The moment Jumang Lingjue broke through to the fourth level, a strong wave suddenly erupted from the black immortal tree. In just one breath, it drained all the vitality of all the tree puppets in the space.

At the same time, a vortex of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the trunk of the black immortal tree, and began to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the world and gather it towards it.

The majestic vitality of the immortal tree also gathered towards it. Even Yuan Ming's own blood energy was attracted by this vortex and continued to gather towards it.

Yuan Ming was shocked at first, but soon his surprise turned to joy, and he even couldn't help laughing.

I saw that after continuously absorbing these three kinds of power, the spiritual energy vortex gradually turned from virtual to real, condensing the heart of an immortal tree. This speed was far beyond Yuan Ming's expectation.

"Quick, take advantage of the moment to separate part of your soul and merge it into the heart of the tree, so that you can completely control the Immortal Demonic Tree." At this time, Xiying, who had been silent before, suddenly opened his eyes and reminded him in an urgent tone.

Yuan Ming's eyes moved when he heard this. Xiying had not mentioned this matter before.

However, out of his trust in Xiying, he immediately activated the soul splitting and combining elixir technique.

Yuan Ming's soul is now getting stronger and stronger, and he is supplemented by his willpower. In addition, he is becoming more and more proficient in understanding and using the Soul-Splitting and Combining Pill Technique, so that the time it takes to perform this technique is getting shorter and shorter.

In just a few breaths, a split soul split from the divine soul. Drawn by Yuan Ming, it flew out of the sea of ​​​​consciousness, flew towards the heart of the immortal tree, and disappeared.

The moment the split soul sank into the heart of the tree, Yuan Ming's split soul immediately felt like it had entered a sea of ​​consciousness again, but it was very different from his original one.

This sea of ​​​​consciousness is quite huge but cold and dead, like an uncivilized wasteland.

As his divided soul entered, this uncivilized wasteland seemed to have suddenly fallen under a continuous spring rain, and strands of soul power began to condense. It was like moistening things silently, and gradually burst out with wisps of life.

Yuan Ming controlled the split soul to quickly merge with the heart of the immortal tree, and the black immortal tree also grew rapidly.

It was like an underfed beast, greedily sucking in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the space of the Heavenly Cauldron. Waves of demonic power rippled around the body, producing a stream of pure demonic energy, full of vitality.

Perhaps because his split soul resides in the heart of the immortal tree, the demonic power of his immortal tree is somewhat different from that of the immortal tree demon in the cave. It is less wild and more agile.

Yuan Ming sensed it for a while and quickly found out clearly that the demonic power of the immortal tree had reached the third level.

The immortal tree transformed into a tree demon. Yuan Ming immediately thought about it and tried to control its actions.

However, because the split soul had just merged and its form was that of a tree demon, Yuan Ming was not skilled at it at first and still subconsciously controlled it as a human being.

As soon as he thought about stretching his arms, the vine branches on the immortal tree started to move one after another, but the movements were extremely large, and many branches collided and entangled with each other, forming many knots.

And when Yuan Ming wanted to move his legs, the roots that were inserted into the ground began to tremble. After a while, they were pulled out of the ground, supporting the huge body, and began to move little by little.

But before he had gone more than a foot away, the roots under his feet were entangled with each other, almost tripping him.

Yuan Ming was overjoyed, but he suppressed it immediately.

He quickly converged his consciousness and did not continue to control the movement of the tree body. Instead, he carefully felt every inch of the immortal tree's body, trying to disperse his spiritual thoughts to explore every part of the body.

This feeling is very special, like trying to piece together a broken porcelain bottle through constant groping. Only when the mind passes through every place can this body be clearly and completely perceived.

Fortunately, the fusion of the split soul and the tree heart made this process extremely smooth. In just a moment, Yuan Ming had completely figured out every vine and root of this body.

When he controlled the movement of this body again, the movements had become extremely smooth, and there were no more knots in the vines or stumbling between tree roots.

Yuan Ming continued to try other abilities of this immortal tree, especially its roots.

The roots of the immortal tree demon are extremely strong and have a terrifying devouring effect. Although my tree is still a small tree, it is not much different in nature, so it should not be much worse.

He sensed the roots of the immortal tree, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.

After turning into a tree demon, the swallowing power of the roots of the black immortal tree has greatly increased. Although it cannot kill a Nascent Soul with just a few breaths like the immortal tree demon in the cave, it cannot deal with the monks in the pill formation stage. Disaster.

It's just that the root system of his immortal tree is not very strong, which is very different from the root system of the immortal tree demon in the cave.

"It seems that the immortal tree demon must have used special methods to strengthen its root system." Yuan Ming thought to himself.

He shook his head and controlled a black root to extend forward, trying to see the limit of its extension.

However, I saw that the root stopped extending after reaching about ten feet away.

"It's only a mere ten feet..." Yuan Ming sighed, a little disappointed.

But at the same time, he felt a little weird. Even though the roots were no longer extending, he still had the illusion that the limbs were lengthening.

"Could this feeling be a phantom limb?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but frowned.

The body hallucination caused by the fact that the fusion between myself and the heart of the immortal tree has just been completed?
