Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Shu Yuan, the female clan leader of the Dayuan clan, took the lead and knelt down before Lingfei. The other experts followed closely and also knelt before her.

Their attitude was very sincere, repenting for their actions and asking for Lingfei's forgiveness.

Lingfei originally didn't have much aversion to them, but rather sympathized with their clan's experiences.

Now, the Dayuan clan's higher-ups had all submitted to the公子 (gongzi), who was also her husband, and had become her husband's subordinates, so she naturally wouldn't haggle with them.

The Dayuan clan's experts, having received Lingfei's forgiveness, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Jun Wuxie led Lingfei to the Innate Wood Tree.

Lingfei continued to use her original method to refine the Innate Wood Source within this tree.

As long as she absorbed and refined the Innate Wood Source within this tree to a certain extent, she would be able to establish a connection with the tree, take it into her body, and allow it to take root in her blessed land, thereby becoming one with her from then on.

At that time, her bloodline would be greatly enhanced, achieving a super evolution.

After her bloodline evolved, and she cultivated with the公子 (gongzi), sharing the Innate Wood Source and her own origin with him, it would bring him great benefits.

That would be equivalent to the effects of the Innate Wood Source simultaneously acting on both of them.

Of course, whether such an effect could be achieved would also depend on whether the two were of one mind and could achieve a fusion of spirit and flesh.

Jun Wuxie was beside Lingfei, continuously pouring life essence into her.

Lingfei's absorption and refinement speed was very fast, and her physical body could hardly bear it, suffering great damage, but with his life essence, it could be repaired in an instant.

Under such circumstances, her refining speed was many times faster than before.

The Innate Wood Tree swayed, its emerald green leaves as crystal clear as jade, drooping with green wood energy, surrounded by innate aura.

The Dayuan clan's experts were filled with envy.

Innate objects are hard to find in ten thousand lifetimes.

Such things are extremely rare in the heavens and universes, and only those with great luck can encounter them.

And to obtain it, one needs not only heaven-defying luck, but also great strength.

As time passed, the Innate Wood Tree's innate source energy continued to decrease.

Those innate source energies were refined into Lingfei's body, causing a close connection to begin to form between the Innate Wood Tree and her.

During this process, Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao both sensed that the surrounding field was changing accordingly.

The original field still existed, but a mysterious power was weakening.

Previously, Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao had not sensed that power, it was hidden very deeply.

But now, that mysterious power had fluctuated, allowing them to sense it.

The various strange creatures on the island began to approach this place, causing the entire island to be filled with a suffocating, fierce, and baleful aura.

The environmental changes were not limited to this island, but were constantly extending in all directions.

Soon, it spread across the lake and into the distant forest.

Roar!

From within the forest beyond the lake, fierce roars began to be heard.

Not the roar of wild beasts, but that kind of hiss, extremely fierce.

"They're all those things!"

While channeling life essence into Lingfei, Jun Wuxie released part of his soul realm, his divine sense constantly spreading, sensing the situation in this area.

Although he was severely restricted here, he could still sense it because the movements in the distance were too great.

Earlier, he had discovered that in certain areas covered by the field around this mountain peak, strange things had appeared, lurking and staring at this place.

He didn't expect that now, the forests around the lake were also full of those things.

In the area that his divine sense could clearly cover, he "spied" on those scenes.

Those things were constantly crawling out of the earth.

Soon, the sky above the entire forest was filled with black mist, dark clouds gathered in the sky, the light became dim, and gusts of cold wind blew, making people shudder.

"What kind of aura is that…"

Even Shu Yuan, the female clan leader of the Dayuan clan, changed color.

This forest was filled with an aura they had never felt before.

Such an aura made people feel very uncomfortable and had a great impact on their minds.

"No! That's… the aura of darkness!"

The people of the Yinming clan were knowledgeable and quickly recognized it.

They were no strangers to the aura of darkness; the corpses of dark creatures were still sealed within the forbidden area.

The people of their forbidden area, generation after generation, were familiar with what the aura of darkness was like.

"Your ancestor was really a big坑货 (keng huo - pit merchant/scammer)."

Jun Wuxie had already seen what was going on.

Back then, the ancestor of the Dayuan clan, before his death, discovered the Innate Wood Source here.

Perhaps due to his own situation being too terrible, coupled with insufficient luck, unable to obtain it, he transformed into order, covering this place, and suppressing it with various fields.

In that era, this area used to be a battlefield, burying a large number of dark creatures.

The Dayuan clan's ancestor, at that time, his realm had probably fallen to some unknown level, and it was estimated that he couldn't erase the corpses of the dark creatures, so he could only choose this method.

Who knew that over the long years, the Innate Wood Source had actually penetrated the field, making it the core support of the field.

Once the Innate Wood Source was taken away, it would disconnect from the field here, and the field would lose its core support, becoming a mere shell.

Fortunately, the order suppression left by the Dayuan clan's ancestor had almost completely erased the power within the dark creatures' bodies in the ancient times.

Otherwise, with those levels of dark creatures, even their aura would be unbearable for these people.

After all, this continent should have come from the Primordial Great World back then.

Then, the ordinary small generals among the dark creatures who invaded the Primordial Great World back then must have been existences beyond the God Realm.

"This… then what should we do?"

The Dayuan clan's experts looked solemn.

In their sight, it was becoming clearer and clearer that the mountains around the peak and the vast forest outside the lake were crawling with dark creatures wearing decayed armor and rotting all over.

These dark creatures' resentment and baleful aura soared into the sky, and in their green glowing eye sockets, there was violence and ferocity.

If it weren't for the Innate Wood Source here, they would basically have had no chance of becoming such undead evil creatures after they died.

It was precisely because of the special vitality derived from the Innate Wood Source that provided them with the conditions to become undead evil creatures.

The scene in sight was too terrifying. The dark creatures were boundless, constantly crawling out of the soil. The decayed armor rubbed as they crawled, making clanging, trembling sounds.

Gradually, the undead dark creatures formed a legion, surrounding the mountain peak and even the entire island.

At first, they were just gathering, led by dark generals. As the connection between the Innate Wood Tree on the mountain peak and this forest became increasingly blurred, they began to move towards this mountain peak, a black mass with no end in sight.

That terrifying dark aura formed boundless black clouds, covering the sky, making the world dark, without light.

Such a scene was too frightening. The dark aura swept in like a tide, too oppressive, constantly impacting people's minds.

"Steady your minds! It's just darkness, what is there to fear!"

Jun Wuxie's voice was like a great bell, resounding in their hearts.

Causing their minds to shake violently, wanting to resist and suppress that fear, but they were quickly swallowed by fear, to the point that their whole bodies were trembling, almost unable to stand steady.

"Steady!"

Jun Wuxie didn't say much, just told them to steady themselves.

He didn't blame them for being so unbearable under the sweep of the dark aura.

After all, these dark creatures had very high realms when they were alive.

Although their power had been mostly erased by the order left by the Dayuan clan's ancestor, their dark will was still not something that demigod and true god experts could easily withstand.

At this time, he only wanted them to temper their state of mind under the impact of this dark aura, even if it was only for a short moment, it would bring great gains.

Lingfei was fine, she had the Innate Wood Source in her body, which to a certain extent diluted the impact of the dark aura.

She had a great understanding with Jun Wuxie, knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and immediately stopped refining.

The Innate Wood Tree, which was about to completely disappear, suddenly stabilized in this way, no longer continuing to become faint.

Those dark, decayed undead dark legions that were heading towards the mountain peak and the island suddenly stopped, their green soul fires in their eye sockets staring fixedly at this place.

The Dayuan clan's experts and Mingde and the others continued to endure the impact of the dark aura, causing them to be constantly on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the dark legion did not continue to approach, and the impact of the dark aura did not intensify.

This allowed them to forcibly maintain the last bit of persistence in their Dao hearts, never truly collapsing. They exhausted all their mental power to fight against the dark aura, each person's body was trembling, and their legs were shaking.

Shu Yuan's situation was slightly better, not as serious as the others, after all, her realm was the highest. The five demigods of the Yinming clan were already瘫软 (tan ruan - paralyzed) on the ground at this time, their pupils dilated.

Jun Wuxie knew that they were already failing. If he didn't take action again, he was afraid that they would be completely crippled.

He had no choice but to take them into the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace.

Thus, after some time, the Dayuan clan's experts and Mingde endured the impact of the dark aura.

When they slowly became able to withstand it, although they still felt terrified in their hearts, they would not tremble all over, and they could control their bodies and the energy of laws very well, and would not be unable to exert their strength because of this, Jun Wuxie signaled Lingfei to continue refining and take away the Innate Wood Tree.

At this level, it was already their limit, and there was no point in continuing, their tolerance to the dark aura would not increase any further.

"Lord Jun…"

Whether it was the experts of the Dayuan Clan or Mingde, they were all gasping for breath at this moment, their hearts pounding with nervousness.

Watching the endless undead dark legion constantly approaching the mountain peaks and the island from further away, their palms were sweating with tension, and large beads of sweat flowed down their temples.

"What are you afraid of? Follow me, and you will surely be able to break out of this forest safely.

In the future, you will eventually face dark powerhouses, so today can be considered an early familiarization."

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, they became even more nervous, their hands clenched so hard that their knuckles turned white, their tightly clenched teeth trembling slightly.

At this moment, the Innate Wood Tree in front of Lingfei finally disappeared completely.

The entire tree instantly appeared in her blessed land.

All connections between the Innate Wood Tree and this forest were severed.

The order field here instantly collapsed at this moment.

In an instant, roars shattered mountains and rivers.

On the island, the densely packed dark undead legion rushed up.

"Yao'er, protect Lingfei.

You, follow me and push our way out!"

"What?"

The experts of the Dayuan Clan and Mingde were stunned, their bodies trembling with fear, their legs weakened, and they almost fell to the ground.

The endless dark undead legion was on a terrifying scale, at least tens of millions strong.

Although they do not have a clear will and cannot coordinate and fight like they did when they were alive, their strength should not be underestimated.

The principle of many ants biting an elephant to death applies here.

The most terrifying thing is that the generals in this dark army are all powerful figures, possessing the power to pose a life threat to demigods and true gods.

Although their power has been almost completely worn away by order, they were once too strong, and now they are still terrifying powerhouses to them.

"If we don't kill these dark undead legions, are we just going to let them rush out to slaughter all living beings on the mainland, including your Dayuan Clan, in an extermination-style massacre?

Your Dayuan Clan will be one of the most important forces under my command in the future to fight against the darkness, how can you be defeated here?

Follow me closely if you don't want to die!"

As Jun Wuxie's voice fell, he leaped down the mountain peak.

Originally, a large number of dark undead legions were rushing towards the top of the mountain.

With this leap, the chaotic golden blood energy swept out like a tide, wrapped in a sharp aura of military intent, the sharpness of a weapon swept out.

A sound of shattered armor rang out, and a large number of dark creatures were immediately beheaded.

Some of the dark generals rushing in front were also killed, while others held rusty weapons to resist, and the next moment they launched a fierce attack on Jun Wuxie.
