Chapter 111-emperor Dayan
It was as if he had been tempted by the fragrance of the Fruit of Life and had broken into the Tree of Life's territory. In the end, his life had been devoured by the Tree of Life, and there were some experts from the Ninth Heavenly Martial Sect among them.
Miserable cries continued. Withered corpses covered the ground. There were desolate beasts and humans. Qin Yun and the others even saw a dragon horned elephant that was more than twenty meters tall and fifty meters long being entangled by the branches of the Tree of Life. It then shriveled at a visible rate and finally turned into a pile of bones.
When she saw that scene, Zhang Xuanxin's entire face turned pale from fear. Although she had expected all of this, she was still stunned by the scene in front of her.
Of course, not everyone was unable to resist the strange fragrance of the Fruit of Life. Some people with strong spirits came to their senses when they saw the scene of corpses everywhere. They quickly retreated and escaped from the claws of the Tree of Life.
An hour had passed, and nearly a thousand people and hundreds of desolate beasts had died. This was simply a terrifying number. Although the number of people pouring in had started to decrease, the slaughter continued.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a Martial Marquis -level expert attacked. A man wearing a black robe walked out and began to charge towards the Tree of Life. The loud explosion just now was caused by him using spiritual energy to break the branch of the Tree of Life.
The branch of the Tree of Life was shattered, and it seemed to be enraged. It stretched out a dozen branches and attacked the Martial Marquis -level expert at the same time.
"When are you still not going to make your move?"
The Martial Marquis did not fight head-on, but shouted at the sky.
Sure enough, his voice fell, and eight figures appeared in the air again. Among them, the Great Elder of the Leiling Sect that Qin Yun knew was amazingly among them.
"Let's go together. Let's get rid of these annoying branches first, and then use our abilities to fight for the fruit of life." The black-robed man shouted loudly.
Evidently, the eight Martial Marquis es that appeared afterwards weren't on the same path as him. They were only working together for the time being.
The eight Martial Marquis es seemed to agree with the black-robed man and turned into a streak of light, heading towards the branch of the Tree of Life.
The nine Martial Marquis es fought with the Tree of Life. All sorts of gorgeous spiritual energy interweaved and danced in the air, producing heaven-shaking noises. The Tree of Life was not willing to be outdone. It immediately sent out dozens of branches, seemingly wanting to completely exhaust the nine Martial Marquis es to death.
When the surrounding Wu Zong saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded. Normally, it would be difficult for them to see a Martial Marquis attack. Now that nine Martial Marquis attacked at the same time and fought against the Tree of Life, how could this scene not be shocking?
"Puchi!"
A white-haired old man dressed in linen actually broke through the Tree of Life's blockade. His sword pierced into the tree trunk, causing bright red blood to flow out.
"The Tree of Life is bleeding?"
The surrounding Martial Sects were all shocked.
I've long heard that a tree that has become a spirit can bleed like an animal. I didn't expect this rumor to be true. In fact, it doesn't mean that if the Tree of Life continues to grow, it might eventually turn into a human.
Qin Yun was also shocked. He did not know how powerful the Tree of Life would be when it transformed into a human form.
When the sword was stabbed, the Tree of Life seemed to be enraged and let out an animal-like roar.
All the branches in the surroundings frantically rushed towards the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was also shocked. Originally, he wanted to seize this opportunity to snatch the fruit of life, but now, he had no choice but to retreat.
As he retreated, he was struck by the branch of the Tree of Life and quickly flew backwards.
The Martial Marquis experts in the surroundings were also attacked crazily. Hundreds of them no longer wanted to trap them. Instead, they directly slapped over. The hundreds of branches about the thickness of their necks directly slapped over. Looking at them made one's scalp feel numb.
The Martial Marquis es cursed in their hearts and had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield once again.
However, they did not expect that the entire Tree of Life would actually rise up from the ground and begin to move, as if it wanted to chase after those Martial Marquis es, not dying.
This scene frightened the surrounding Martial Sects. Their faces turned deathly pale as they quickly fled into the distance, deeply afraid of being affected by this innocent calamity.
When the Martial Marquis es saw this scene, they all felt depressed and wanted to vomit blood. The Tree of Life was still a madman. Fortunately, the Tree of Life was a plant after all. It had no legs or feet, and it moved extremely slowly. This also gave everyone time to escape. Otherwise, everyone would have wanted to die.
However, the old man in sackcloth who stabbed the Tree of Life was not spared. He was surrounded by the Tree of Life with hundreds of branches and wrapped around it. In the end, he turned into a skeleton and became the first Martial Marquis -level expert to perish.
The scene fell into an awkward silence. The other eight Martial Marquis es were unable to break through the defenses of the Tree of Life, so it was not easy to obtain the Fruit of Life.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, a sword cry suddenly sounded from heaven and earth.
Then, a sword descended from the sky and stabbed towards the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life seemed to have sensed the threat as well. It hurriedly stretched out hundreds of branches and slapped towards the flying sword, wanting to obstruct the flying sword.
However, the flying sword was as powerful as a bamboo, directly cutting off the hundreds of branches that were blocking it, and then slamming into the Tree of Life's trunk.
The Tree of Life was instantly severely injured. Blood continuously flowed, letting out painful sobs. Then, it actually began to surge underground, as if it had the intention of fleeing into the ground ahead of time.
"Bastard, where do you escape from?"
At this moment, a thunderous explosion sounded from the sky, and a terrifying majesty instantly filled the air.
A man dressed in a golden robe walked out. He had a resolute expression on his face and was not angry at all. He carried a powerful aura. Above his golden robe, there was a huge dragon.
"Emperor Dayan!"
Immediately, someone recognized this person's identity and began to exclaim in surprise.
Qin Yun also looked at this person in surprise.
"So he is the emperor of the Great Yan Empire. He is at the peak of the Ninth Emperor Tianwu . He is indeed extraordinary." Qin Yun exclaimed in his heart. His soul had already reached the True Immortal Realm, so he could see through his opponent's cultivation at a glance.
The moment Emperor Dayan made his move, the clouds of heaven and earth instantly changed.
Emperor Dayan slapped out a palm and directly exploded the ground. The part of the Tree of Life that had originally burrowed into the ground actually appeared again. Moreover, most of the branches of the Tree of Life had been destroyed, leaving only a few.
Soon after, Emperor Dayan's entire body turned into a golden beam of light and disappeared in a flash. When he appeared in the air again, there was already a Fruit of Life in his hand.
"I will only take one Fruit of Life. The next two will depend on your own abilities." Emperor Dayan's dignified voice rang out.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the Martial Marquis es began to rush towards the Tree of Life.
The destruction of the branch of life was no longer a threat to them.
When Qin Yun saw this, a bright light flashed in his eyes. His entire body shook and turned into his original appearance. Then, his entire body turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the direction of the Tree of Life.
