Since he gave birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan obviously would not use extreme measures to subdue the Azure Spirit Tree.
Moreover, after Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm, he discovered that there were two very powerful auras lurking nearby.
If he really subdued the Azure Spirit Tree, wouldn’t he be seeking death himself?
Therefore, Ye Yuan cast a divine soul mystic art at that time and started communicating with the Azure Spirit Tree.
Ye Yuan analyzed the current situation for the Azure Spirit Tree to listen, and promised the Azure Spirit Tree that as long as he guarded Yue Mengli for ten years’ time, he would surely aid him to break through to Tier 9!
This kind of heavy promise, only Ye Yuan dared to make.
But Ye Yuan was not bragging. The Tier 9 spiritual objects that he had seen before were too many to enumerate. He was also very familiar with the Azure Spirit Tree. Helping him to break through to Tier 9 was not something impossible.
In order to demonstrate his strength, Ye Yuan used the Spirit Sealing Needle and inserted them into the Azure Spirit Tree’s main body.
Except, the function of the Spirit Sealing Needle was not to shackle the Azure Spirit Tree’s wood essence power, but to stimulate the Azure Spirit Tree’s potential, to let him absorb the wood essence power on this stretch of spirit vein even faster!
The wood essence power ceasing revolving was just the Azure Spirit Tree doing it on purpose.
Ye Yuan and the Azure Spirit Tree joined hands and deceived everybody here!
[0] Starting now, instead of using ‘it’ to refer to the Azure Spirit Tree, we will be using ‘he’ as he already took form and have intelligence.
Chapter 675. Killing Hu Yan! |
“Heh heh, didn’t think that I, Hu Yan, would actually have a day where I would succumb at the hands of a brat still wet behind his ears!”
Hu Yan looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with hatred.
Ten years of forbearance was for the sake of today. Who knew that it would actually fail on the verge of success.
This disgrace filled his heart with unwillingness!
“I already warned Hu Rong at the Darkfiend Tiger Clan. No idea if you heard it or not, that is to not provoke my big brother. Because . . . you can’t afford to provoke him at all!” White Light said coldly.
“You shut your mouth for this old man! A creature that lives off people while secretly helping others! What qualifications do you have to lecture this old man? Don’t think that you’re really something by calling you tiger lord!”
The current Hu Yan had already lost his reason. How could he still care what identity White Light had?
But White Light said with a cold smile, “Being cocky in front of this Little Lord?Heh heh, isn’t it just relying on your cultivation realm being a little higher? Do you really think that you’re very impressive? Little Lord, I, will tell you today, in less than three years, this Little Lord will be able to eradicate you with a flip of my hand! It’s just that you can’t wait for that day!”
White Light was extremely confident in both his cultivation speed and strength. As long as he followed Ye Yuan, killing Hu Yan three years later would be akin to killing a dog.
But this sort of situation today was already unable to be reconciled. Ye Yuan would not let Hu Yan off.
Releasing a Tier 6 powerhouse out there was too dangerous.
Hu Yan naturally knew that White Light was not joking. His bloodline was too powerful. Cultivation was like playing around.
After White Light arrived at the tiger clan, Hu Yan had observed White Light before and discovered that his cultivation speed was really too terrifying.
After the shock, Hu Yan was deeply jealous in his heart.
This was the disparity between bloodline grades. He was unable to make up for it forever.
Unless he could rely on his own strength to affirm his Dao and become a deity, otherwise, he could only look up to White Light forever.
And in this world, which demon could still become a divine beast?
Inferiority complex, unwillingness, envy, resentment, all kinds of negative emotions mingled together. Hu Yan’s entire person was almost exploding.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, “Even if I can’t wait until that day, I’ll have to exterminate you guys, these two little bastards, today!”
As he said, Hu Yan directly transformed into a powerful and magnificent large tiger!
This fellow chose demonic transformation right away!
After the Azure Spirit Tree took form, it could naturally fight same as humans as well. This made his combat power increase greatly too.
Seeing Hu Yan demonize at this time, he unleashed a divine soul attack without any hesitation!
The peak Tier 6 Hu Yan was also not somebody easy to deal with. He could actually judge these attacks accurately and dodge them.
And Hu Yan’s target was not the Azure Spirit Tree, but the Ye Yuan and White Light opposite!
Hu Yan was a peak Tier 6 powerhouse. His strength was god knows how many times more powerful than Zhao Tianyin’s.
Yet, Ye Yuan did not care at all facing Hu Yan’s attack.
Ye Yuan’s current formations path attainments were even more powerful than his previous life. Now that there was a ready-made grand array for him to control, how could it be something that easy for Hu Yan to want to hit Ye Yuan?
Boom!
Hu Yan’s formidable attack passed right through Ye Yuan, slamming onto the ground behind Ye Yuan. A large pit appeared immediately.
Yet, Ye Yuan and White Light were perfectly unscathed.
While at this time, the Azure Spirit Tree’s attack had arrived once more.
Only to see him gesture with both hands. Countless vines broke out of the ground and intertwined over towards Hu Yan!
Hu Yan’s expression changed. He was just thinking of moving when he was caught unawares by the Origin Magnetic Field again.
In the end, he avoided the entanglement of the vines by a narrow escape repeatedly.
Hu Yan hated immensely in his heart right now. These two little fellows were clearly right under his noses, but he just could not do anything to them.
Not just so, that bizarre forcefield was really damnable sometimes.
Originally, when he ambushed Peng Tian, he did not hope for that attack to be able to cripple Peng Tian.
At that time, after it went smoothly, he was still very suspicious. Only now did he know that it was actually Ye Yuan who gave him a helping hand back then.
It was just that Hu Yan could never have thought that this sort of bizarre forcefield would be used on him so soon.
Ye Yuan looked at Hu Yan from a distance and said smilingly, “Inside the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array, for you to want to kill me, it’s even harder than ascending to heaven. But for the Azure Spirit Tree and me to kill you, it’s effortless! Now, I’ll let you take a look at the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array’s true power!”
Hu Yan’s expression could not help changing drastically once he heard. But he had yet to have time to take any action when the grand array was unleashed already!
Countless flames flooded towards Hu Yan from all directions, directly wrapping him up tightly.
These flames formed a cage, directly binding Hu Yan up inside!
How could Hu Yan be willing to submit? Mustering up essence energy fully, he slapped a palm out directly.
But right at this time, the flame cage similarly burst forth with powerful energy, obliterating Hu Yan’s attack immediately!
“Stop wasting energy. This flame cage maneuvered the entire grand array’s energy to besiege you alone. For you to want to crack it, without a few days, it simply can’t be done! Therefore, wait to die inside there obediently!” Ye Yuan sentenced Hu Yan’s death penalty very indifferently.
Hu Yan’s entire person was almost crazy. How could he be willing to believe it? He roared furiously. “Want to trap me to death, n
o way! Argh . . . !”
Hu Yan was like a lunatic, unleashing all of his energy, and attacking the flame cage crazily.
But no matter how he attacked, this flame cage did not budge an inch!
The words that Ye Yuan said, when did he go back on his words before?
Ye Yuan looked towards the Azure Spirit Tree and said with a smile, “The rest is up to you!”
The Azure Spirit Tree had a stomach full of animosity towards Hu Yan. Seeing Hu Yan’s crazed appearance at present, he was euphoric in his heart too.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, he said rather excitedly, “Thanks. This time, count it as I owe you a favor! Otherwise, it would really be rather hard for me to want to kill him!”
Hu Yan’s cultivation realm was more or less the same as the Azure Spirit Tree’s. Even though the Azure Spirit Tree’s was innately incomparably powerful, if Hu Yan risked everything to escape, wanting to kill him would really not be too easy.
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, “No need to be courteous. You look at his appearance. He’s bound to want to come and kill me as well. I’m just protecting myself.”
The Azure Spirit Tree was no longer long-winded and directly condensed a powerful divine soul attack!
“Soul Exterminating Sword!”
The Azure Spirit Tree condensed an invisible sword that could not be seen with the naked eye at all. Yet, Ye Yuan could sense how terrifying this attack was!
The moment the invisible sword moved, it pierced through the flame cage instantly, shooting right onto Hu Yan’s divine soul!
“ARGH!!”
A miserable cry sounded out.
Afterward, there was no longer any activity inside the flame cage.
A fierce and ambitious person of his generation in the Dongming Region died in the end under the partnering-up of the Azure Spirit Tree and Ye Yuan.
The Azure Spirit Tree looked at Ye Yuan and said, “I really didn’t expect that a puny little Tier 4 human actually possessed such heaven-defying abilities!”
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “If I didn’t have heaven-defying abilities, how could I dare to promise to let you break through to Tier 9 too?”
The Azure Spirit Tree was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately burst into laughter, and said, “Haha! Makes sense! Initially, I was still somewhat doubtful about your words. But now, my misgivings are all gone, and I have unbounded confidence in you instead! Ye Yuan, I hope that you won’t disappoint me!”
Chapter 676. Stealthy Kiss |
“Naturally, I won’t let you down! These few days, I’ll use the Spirit Sealing Needle to help you tidy up your meridians and let your speed of absorbing wood essence power increase ten times. This way, you breaking through to Tier 7 would probably be during these few days as well,” Ye Yuan said.
The so-called Spirit Sealing Needle was actually that set of profound artifact gold needles which Ye Yuan brought out from Ren Xingchun’s place.
It was just that in order to deal with the Azure Spirit Tree, he sanctified it with special means again.
Azure Spirit Tree could not help being overjoyed when he heard, “Truly?”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “You already had half a foot stepped into Tier 7 in the first place. Me using the needles now is just pushing the boat along with the current. You don’t need to be so happy. With my current strength, what I can help you with is also just this much.”
The Azure Spirit Tree hurriedly said, “How can I not be happy? I’ve already been stuck at this step for a very long time but did not break through for so long. Once my speed of absorbing wood essence power increases ten times, breaking through the Tier 7 bottleneck will be an effortless matter!”
Bottlenecks to all cultivators was a hard to surmount chasm.
Especially from Tier 6 to Tier 7, there was a huge threshold. Even though the Azure Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spirit wood, wanting to cross this hurdle was also absolutely not something that easy.
The Azure Spirit Tree’s cultivation could be calculated in units of centuries.
Don’t look at how the Azure Spirit Tree was just a half-grown child appearance. Actually, he was totally an old tree demon!
It was just that the time he gave birth to a primordial spirit was not long, so his mind was not very mature.
Absorbing wood essence power to break through bottlenecks was actually about the same as martial artists breaking through bottlenecks.
When martial artists were breaking through this sort of major checkpoint, they needed titanic amounts of essence energy as support. Otherwise, it was very easy to fail the breakthrough.
This was also the reason why medicinal pills were so important when breaking through bottlenecks.
If Ye Yuan did not help the Azure Spirit Tree apply the needles, this distance of half a step, the Azure Spirit Tree might not even break through for dozens of years, even a century.
But his speed of absorbing wood essence power increasing ten times, this difficult problem would be easily resolved.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “This stretch of spirit vein is indeed your optimal place to breakthrough bottlenecks. It’s also no wonder that you entrenched here all along and not leave. The matter should not be delayed. Let’s begin.”
Ye Yuan did not plan on wasting time. It had been roughly over half a year’s time since he was out. No idea what situation the Endless World was in right now either. He must make the best use of his time to get out.
. . . . . .
The following few days, Ye Yuan frequently used the needles on the Azure Spirit Tree’s main body.
Indeed, the Azure Spirit Tree’s aura gradually became violent, looking like it was going to break through to Tier 7 soon!
On the eighth day, tribulation clouds rolled in the sky. The Azure Spirit Tree finally welcomed the heavenly tribulation!
“The heavenly tribulation came. You be careful yourself! You’re a heaven and earth spirit wood. The might of this heavenly tribulation is bound to be extraordinary. Even though this Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array’s offensive power isn’t high, using it to defend is pretty decent. I’ll control the grand array to help you block a portion of the heavenly tribulation’s power. The rest will be up to yourself!” Ye Yuan said.
Sensing the horrifying aura coming from the tribulation clouds, the Azure Spirit Tree’s expression was also a never-before solemn.
“Good brother! I promise you that after I transcend this tribulation, I’ll definitely guard your friend for ten years!”
This heavenly tribulation was not so easy to transcend for the Azure Spirit Tree.
He finally managed to cultivate out a primordial spirit, unlike when he was muddle-headed back then, relying entirely on instinct to do things.
The present Azure Spirit Tree was filled with yearning and curiosity towards this world and did not wish to fall under the heavenly tribulation.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Talk again after this. You don’t have to be so nervous either. This isn’t beneficial to you transcending the tribulation instead. This place is a land of spirit vein. Not only is it your optimal location to cultivate, but it’s also likewise your ideal place to transcend tribulations. Unceasing wood essence power, what can the heavenly tribulation do to you?”
The Azure Spirit Tree’s eyes lit up as he said in annoyance, “This stupid brain of mine, why didn’t I think of that!”
Before long, the heavenly tribulation descended. The commotion was indeed extraordinary.
Ye Yuan controlled the grand array to resist the heavenly tribulation only withstood for one round, and the grand array collapsed with a loud bang. Ye Yuan even sustained considerable injuries for this.
But on this stretch of spirit vein, the Azure Spirit Tree’s strength was truly by no means insignificant.
No matter how the heavenly tribulation wreaked havoc, the Azure Spirit Tree could recover rapidly.
Furthermore, through Ye Yuan helping him to tidy up his meridians, the A
zure Spirit Tree’s speed of drawing on the wood essence power was ten times than before.
Under such circumstances, virtually nothing could destroy him. Even the heavenly tribulation could not as well!
Finally, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the Azure Spirit Tree successfully broke through to Tier 7!
“Hahaha! To think that I feared the heavenly tribulation like a tiger! Looking at it now, it’s also nothing much!” the Azure Spirit Tree chortled loudly and arrived beside Ye Yuan with a leap.
Tier 7 was already an extremely daunting existence in this expanse of heaven and earth.
Even in the Divine Realm, Tier 7 powerhouses could also own a piece of small territory and lord over a region.
The Azure Spirit Tree crossing this threshold, how could it not be happy?
“Haha, congratulations to Brother Qing,” Ye Yuan congratulated as well.
Although Ye Yuan’s injuries were already healed at this time, the Azure Spirit Tree knew that he played a role of vital importance during the process of him breaking through this time.
“Ye Yuan, we’re good brothers from hereafter. My promise to you will definitely be fulfilled! Here, this is the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. Take it!”
The Azure Spirit Tree casually threw toward Ye Yuan a wood-material vessel. Inside was filled with some azure-colored liquid. It was precisely the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid!
Ye Yuan was ecstatic when he saw and said, “High-grade Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid! Brother Qing, thanks a lot! My friend is inside the space I carry on me. If Brother Qing doesn’t mind, stay inside there from now on as well.”
The Azure Spirit Tree nodded his head as a show of agreement.
Ye Yuan said, “Brother Qing, don’t resist. I’ll put you inside.”
Ye Yuan’s mind willed and directly placed the Azure Spirit Tree and himself inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan and the Azure Spirit Tree appeared in front of Yue Mengli and the rest.
Ye Yuan passed the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid to Yue Mengli and said, “Li-er, this is the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. You consume it directly will do!”
