Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie saw mysterious runes light up on the toad's muscular body, resisting the entanglement of the tentacles.

As the tentacles continued to contract, the runes on the toad's body became brighter and brighter.

It was trying hard to break free, but the power of the tentacles' entanglement was too great, making it seem unable to escape.

"Croak! Hero, save me! I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again!"

The toad was in tears, repenting with a voice full of tears, looking very pitiful.

"I knew you, dead toad, wouldn't be honest. Your belly is full of bad ideas, and you would definitely try to trick me. It's just a pity that you used your tricks on the wrong person."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh at its appearance, as the creature was already foaming at the mouth from the entanglement of the tentacles.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Ciyin.

Mu Ciyin understood his intention, and summoned the Autumn Water Ancient Sword. With a clang, the sound of the sword rang out, and the sword energy bloomed, instantly cutting off the tentacles that were entangling the toad.

The tentacles entangling the toad immediately lost their power, quickly loosening and falling off. The toad took the opportunity to rush to Jun Wuxie's side, hiding behind him.

Rumble!

The lake water in this area was almost violent, and angry roars came from the rising water level.

A behemoth emerged from the water.

Jun Wuxie originally thought it was an octopus-like creature, but the reality was completely different.

This creature, covered in tentacles, actually had a head similar to that of a human. The difference was that its face was blue-green, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth, making it look very eerie.

The monster stared fiercely at Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin, with dozens of tentacles dancing like sea snakes.

"Get back to the bottom of your lake, and don't come looking for death!"

Jun Wuxie reprimanded. The monster's physical body was very strong, stronger than the Holy Ancestor Realm toad, but in front of him and Mu Ciyin, it could only be seeking death.

However, it was not suitable to fight at the moment. He vaguely sensed powerful auras lurking on the island.

Currently, it was not advisable to alarm those enemies.

To kill this monster, the energy fluctuations caused by the power used would inevitably spread to the island.

"Chirp!"

The monster grinned and roared at them, unwillingly diving back into the lake.

The lake surface here quickly receded, and the waves subsided.

They quickly landed on the island.

It was extremely quiet on this island, without any sound, but as they got closer to the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree, Jun Wuxie could sense the presence of powerful auras even more.

Those auras were near the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree!

"Strange, at this distance, I should be able to sense them very clearly. Why is it so blurry?"

Jun Wuxie felt very surprised. If those people were deliberately lurking, it might be understandable. After all, this secret land was special, and the distance was so far. If a strong person deliberately lurked, even his divine sense might not be able to sense them clearly, which was not impossible.

But what was the need for those strong people to lurk?

They were near the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree. If they were lurking, unless they had discovered their arrival and wanted to ambush them.

If that were the case, Jun Wuxie would definitely be able to sense that he was being watched or even locked onto, but he didn't have that feeling.

"Dead toad, be careful to restrain your aura."

Jun Wuxie instructed the toad. They cautiously headed towards the area on the island where the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree was located.

As they got closer and closer, Jun Wuxie's perception gradually became clearer. In this clarity, he had a feeling that his perception was being distorted by some kind of indescribable mysterious power.

Mu Ciyin also had this strange feeling. Her moth eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt surprised in her heart.

Before long, they arrived at that area and finally saw the situation there clearly.

The huge Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree had a trunk with a diameter of a thousand meters. The soil where it was rooted actually glowed with five-colored light!

Strange soil!

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was even more excited than when he had seen the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree earlier.

Strange soil was exactly the resource needed by the Little World Tree!

The Little World Tree was seriously injured in the Lower Realm to save him, and it was still sleeping in his body.

He had never seen any strange soil in the Upper Realm for so many years.

He didn't expect to see strange soil here today, and it was five-colored strange soil!

Within a few hundred meters around the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree, there seemed to be a layer of mysterious barrier. The mysterious power that distorted perception came from within that barrier.

Around them, there were a considerable number of powerful beings, various beast kings, bird kings, and dark powerhouses.

They actually didn't engage in infighting, and all maintained some kind of strange harmony with tacit understanding.

At this time, these powerhouses were trying to enter the barrier.

Every time they entered and approached, terrible things would happen to them, as if they were burning. Their flesh and blood began to turn to ashes, as if they were about to disappear completely.

The farther they went, the more serious this situation became, so that they could only go a hundred meters into the barrier at most before having to return, and they had no chance to get close to the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree at all.

Whether it was a bird king, a beast king, or a dark creature, they tried again and again, and retreated again and again.

At this time, those dark creatures turned their heads and glanced at Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin's location, their gazes very cold and their killing intent very strong.

Those beast kings and bird kings also looked over, their eyes cold, but they didn't release any killing intent.

"You wait here."

Jun Wuxie signaled the toad not to follow any further. The scene that followed was not something it could participate in.

The beast kings, bird kings, and dark creatures here were all powerhouses who had stepped into the Eternal Saint Realm.

Although they had not gone far in the Eternal Saint Realm, only at the peak of the Lesser Heavenly Position or Perfection, their realms were three or four minor realms higher than his master, Mu Ciyin.

This was a group of powerful enemies!

The law was forbidden here, which meant that they could only use their physical body and blood energy to fight.

Although Ciyin's master's physical body was considered very strong among those of the same level, it was definitely different compared to these beast kings and bird kings, and the physical bodies of dark creatures were not weak to begin with.

This meant that they were very weak here.

"Ciyin, Master, you go and try."

Jun Wuxie came to the front of the barrier and asked Mu Ciyin to enter the barrier and try.

"No."

Mu Ciyin naturally saw that all those here were powerhouses of the Eternal Saint Realm.

Although these powerhouses of the Eternal Saint Realm were not in their peak state of essence, energy, and spirit, their realms were higher than hers, and their physical strength was not weak to begin with. Even she would find it difficult to ensure Jun Wuxie's safety here.

What if these powerhouses attacked him when she entered the barrier to try?

"Ciyin, Master, don't worry, I have the World Domain, has Master forgotten?"

Mu Ciyin stared at him for a long time after hearing this, and then walked towards the barrier.

The moment she stepped into the barrier, a wonderful aura came towards her, and dazzling light shone upon her, causing Mu Ciyin to subconsciously raise her hand to shield her eyes.

This feeling was so strange!

Mu Ciyin only felt that the aura coming towards her gave her an incomparably real feeling, as if she had stepped into reality from a dream.

In an instant, her mind was greatly shaken, and a huge panic arose. She suddenly turned her head to look at Jun Wuxie, who was anxiously watching her outside the barrier.

She only felt as if she had walked out of a lifetime of illusory dreams, returned to the real world, was about to say goodbye to everything in the dream, was about to separate from her disciple, and would never see each other again.

The more she went deeper, the stronger this feeling became, making her no longer want to take a step.

If she had to lose the person she cared about the most, she would rather not have any reality, and would rather live in an illusory dream forever.

"Ciyin, Master, come out quickly!"

Jun Wuxie shouted, he saw Mu Ciyin's flesh and blood melting into light rain.

At this time, Mu Ciyin also felt that this real world was rejecting her, the sunlight was scorching her skin painfully, and the order seemed to be burning her, trying to annihilate her, a person from an illusory dream!

She saw her favorite disciple anxiously saying something, and the shape of his mouth seemed to be calling her.

Mu Ciyin woke up instantly, rushed out of the barrier at the fastest speed, and went straight to Jun Wuxie.

Her state of mind was greatly stimulated in the space inside the barrier, so that she hugged Jun Wuxie tightly, wrapped her arms around his head, and buried it deeply in front of her chest.

Her delicate body was trembling, and the panic in her heart had not subsided even now.

Just now, the fear of being separated forever from the person she cared about the most, and the tearing pain in her heart suffocated her, and she only felt that her inner world was like sinking into an endless abyss, never seeing the sunlight again, and only being accompanied by darkness from then on.

"Ciyin, Master?"

Jun Wuxie escaped his head from her full bosom, almost suffocating, but found that Mu Ciyin's tears were sliding down silently, and there was still an indescribable fear and unease in her pupils.

"I'm fine, Master."

Mu Ciyin finally came back to her senses, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then showed a look of surprise, and said, "Wuxie, why is your nose bleeding?"

"Ah?"

Jun Wuxie reached out and wiped his nose, and sure enough, it was a bloody red, making him feel embarrassed.

"Disciple is fine, maybe it was because I was too excited to see Master in danger just now, and the blood rushed up."

Jun Wuxie said a lie with an old-fashioned look, his face not red and his heart not beating.

"Ciyin, Master, what exactly is the situation inside? Why were your emotions so intense after you came out, and you even cried."

Jun Wuxie looked at the traces of tears on her face, and couldn't help reaching out to wipe them away.

Mu Ciyin subconsciously leaned back slightly, wanting to avoid it, but finally stopped.

Thinking of the feeling just now, and looking at the disciple in front of her at this moment, she felt that nothing was more reassuring and beautiful than this feeling.

"It's terrible inside…"

Mu Ciyin described in detail all the sensations she had experienced inside, saying that she had never felt anything like it before.

That sense of reality intensely impacted her mind, making her feel that everything she had experienced before was an illusory dream.

"To think such a thing could exist…"

Jun Wuxie was shocked. Illusion and reality—could there be some special order inside that influenced people's minds?

"I'll go and try it."

Jun Wuxie was filled with curiosity. The Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree and the Five-Colored Strange Earth were inside. Unless he gave up, he had to enter.

Mu Ciyin tightly grasped his hand, not wanting him to go.

The space inside was too terrifying. Besides the impact and influence on one's mind, the most deadly thing was the rejection and annihilation of the order of heaven and earth, as if trying to turn people into a rain of light.

Even Eternal Saint Realm experts like them couldn't withstand it. Wuxie was only at the Holy Emperor Realm. The moment he stepped in, he might be reduced to ashes!
