Chapter 1114: Chapter 699: Pain
The duo, along with the deer, rapidly descended into the camp area, and as they neared the ground, Du Yu retracted Bai Yujing.
It seemed he remembered something, and the falling speed slightly slowed as he hurriedly asked, "Master Qing’s Yue Mountain Lion?"
Yang Qingqing: "Sixteen has already reached the Spirit Level."
Sixteen?
Du Yu was a bit puzzled as to why Master Qing named the Yue Mountain Lion like that.
Oh, right!
Du Yu suddenly remembered, it was on Lion’s Roar Peak, and at that time he used this lion, valued at over eight million, to repay Master Qing’s loan.
Afterwards, he provided many names to Master Qing.
Besides "Du Repayment’s Complete," there were also names like "Clear," "Loan Paid," and "16th Floor."
Evidently, Master Qing listened to his disciple’s suggestion.
Although Du Yu jokingly offered a bunch of names for the Demon Pet.
But among these not-so-serious names, the woman found one that sounded decent.
And the reason Du Yu remembered it so clearly, was that after saying these names, Emperor Qing flicked his forehead once.
Under Emperor Qing’s finger, Du Yu was flicked directly from Lion’s Roar Peak to the Peak of All Mountains...
Sixteen,
Hmm... 16th Floor, it does have some commemorative significance.
While Du Yu was pondering secretly, the teacher-student duo headed downwards, and dove straight into the camp area ground.
If it were an ordinary person, falling from hundreds of meters in the sky, they would surely become a splatter of flesh.
However, Emperor Qing has the Yue Mountain Lion, and Du Yu has the Desolate Silver Lynx.
Both activated Mountain Earth Concealment, merging into the earth like fish into water.
No,
Even fish create a few ripples when entering water.
Du Yu and Yang Qingqing disappeared into the ground soundlessly, like two ginseng fruits.
Through the thick ground, the teacher-student duo finally broke into the first layer of the Bottomless Maze, and in the next moment, there was a slight change in both their eyes.
Du Yu’s eyeballs took on a faint red hue, activating the Eye of Burning Sun.
Yang Qingqing’s whites of the eyes were painted with a mysterious dark amber color, and her pupils were round and jet black, exactly resembling the splendid eyes of the Sorrow Seabird.
Demon Skill· Sad Sea Eye!
Inside the Bottomless, it was pitch black, with cold fog swirling, but it did not disrupt the teacher-student duo in the slightest.
"Swish~ Swish!"
The two pierced through layer after layer of the maze.
Du Yu had entered the Bottomless many times, but each time, he was obediently walking through the maze.
Even when taking shortcuts or secret doors, it took quite a while.
For the first time, Du Yu was so reckless, directly "piercing" from layer 1 to layer 20!
And to be going wild with Master Qing, it almost felt like having a careless moment with an Immortal Master...
Very soon, the duo descended below the 20th layer, witnessing an empty scene.
Du Yu never would have thought that one day, he would consider the Bottomless Pit to be clean.
Although gray fog still swirled around, the intertwined Cold Wood and Cold Branches had all perished, vanished without a trace.
The Cold Wood, once severed, lost contact with the Cold Tree Root and naturally transformed into ordinary trees, which the soldiers could destroy at will.
Even a simple Wind Demon Skill could turn ordinary giant trees into powder.
"Cutting trees, yay! Cutting trees, yay!" Little Fen Yang, hidden within Du Yu’s body, excitedly stomped his feet.
The jubilant voice urged Du Yu to continue falling downwards swiftly.
And much earlier, as the teacher-student duo descended from high up, one after another, silhouettes were already falling from the Bottomless Pit.
"Boom!"
"Boom!" Little humans and large demon pets hit the ground, where corpses lay everywhere, a horrifying sight to behold!
The Divine Tree went on a rampage!
Last time during the final exams, how the Cold Branch pierced Du Yu’s forehead, is precisely how the Spirit Branches now pierced the Cold Beast’s skull.
The Cold Beasts with physical bodies were the first batch to die under the assault of the Spirit Branches.
And those that could shatter their bodies or exist in pure energy form did not escape either!
The Spirit Branches, like "chopsticks stirring egg yolk," forcibly shattered the phantom-like Cold Beasts.
So strictly speaking, even with the Celestial Cyan Porcelain beside him, Du Yu was not invincible in front of the Youhan Tree.
Last time, when clearing the Bottomless, the treacherous Cold Tree suddenly thrust out a thin Cold Branch, piercing Du Yu’s forehead into water droplets.
The Jade Gourd was furious, immediately immobilizing the Cold Branch.
What if there was no control from the Jade Gourd?
What if there was no Divine Spirit Tree binding the Youhan Tree in the Bottomless Pit?
If Du Yu faced the Youhan Tree alone, even if his body could shatter into countless water droplets, immune to physical damage...
Under the continuous attack of the Youhan Tree, Du Yu’s water droplet body could also be completely shattered!
The Youhan Tree had multiple ways to kill Du Yu.
It could also choose not to shatter Du Yu’s water droplet body.
The Cold Tree could effortlessly weave sealed leaf balls, dividing Du Yu’s resultant water droplets into tens, hundreds, thousands!
By then, how could Du Yu reassemble his body?
In this situation, Du Yu might find himself in a situation where surviving is not feasible, and dying is equally unattainable.
"Squish~"
Mud Giant Jiang Feng landed heavily, her right foot crushing the already blood-soaked corpse of the Evil Soul Dog, even splattering a blood spurt.
On the blood-soaked battlefield, the acrid smell of blood permeated the air.
Countless blood-stained Spirit Branches continued to weave through the area, constructing with the scattered remains a scene akin to purgatory.
"Gulp." Li Mengnan swallowed, even with her experience of multiple life-and-death battles, she had never seen such a brutal "Ten Thousand Corpses Pit" scene.
Lin Shiwei watched the spirit branches speed through the surroundings from all directions. Even with the composure of General Lin, she felt a bit panicked inside.
"Fu Jianzhou!" Mud Giant Jiang Feng shouted fiercely.
The sound emanating from the mud-like body was exceptionally hoarse, even somewhat eerie.
"Here!" Fu Jianzhou decisively rushed towards the Cold Tree Root, summoning the Frost Celestial Bead in his hand.
"Swoosh~"
Within the Cold Tree Root, the leaves of the Divine Tree surged like a tide.
Endless tattered spirit branches flowed from it, while fresh spirit branches climbed over the more than ten meters high Cold Tree Stump, rushing in to block the Bottomless Gate.
"Huff~"
Fu Jianzhou’s hand released bone-chilling frost, soaking into the base of the Cold Tree Root.
"Caw~ caw~" A sudden cawing of a crow echoed in his mind.
In full view of everyone, a beautiful Moon-setting Crow gracefully appeared on Fu Jianzhou’s shoulder, amidst a surge of energy.
The Moon-setting Crow, with a lustrous, moon-like glow, shone with a cool moonlight that was utterly out of place in this dark, bloody battlefield.
"Whoosh!"
In Fu Jianzhou’s palm, the Frost Celestial Bead exerted force again, the extreme cold gas invading the Cold Tree Root.
Mud Giant Jiang Feng stepped forward, with the Lion Bone Saber in his hand humming and trembling, as the Demon Soldier Array suddenly lit up!
She viciously thrust forward, and a crisp sound instantly reverberated throughout the area.
"Ding!!!"
The bone blade collided heavily with the frost-covered cold tree, producing a crisp sound.
Jiang Feng’s mud eyes widened, a numbness in the tiger’s mouth, and she was pushed back several steps by the shock.
"This is the Cold Tree Root, senior sister! It’s different in strength from other Cold Woods!" Always gentle and elegant, Fu Jianzhou shouted loudly, "It’s almost ready, almost there!"
"Bastard!" Jiang Feng’s massive body trembled, a harsh voice rang in her mind.
Mud Soul Imprisonment: "Hiss..."
No one would have expected that the earlier slash didn’t come from Jiang Feng but from Mud Soul Imprisonment.
For a Demon Tamer like Jiang Feng, this was something that shouldn’t have happened, yet it did, so truly.
Twelve years ago, on that midsummer night, Jiang Feng lost all her Demon Pets except for Mud Soul Imprisonment.
In that life-and-death battle, Mud Soul Imprisonment was the only demon pet who survived. Its hatred for this Bottomless and this Youhan Giant Wood was no less than Jiang Feng’s!
That night, Mud Soul Imprisonment was terribly wounded, almost killed by the Cold Tree.
This Bottomless inflicted too much suffering on Mud Soul Imprisonment.
And as a companion-type demon pet, Mud Soul Imprisonment was unlike other demon pets that remained hidden in Acupoint Home, isolated from the world.
Over twelve long years, Master Jiang Feng’s grief and resentment deepened Mud Soul Imprisonment’s hatred towards the Cold Tree, time and again.
Mud Soul Imprisonment had lost control.
It made a mistake it shouldn’t have, but at this moment, Jiang Feng had no time to scold Mud Soul Imprisonment.
Suddenly, a trace of purple energy suffused Jiang Feng’s enormous mud body.
Vast strength like great rivers surged through her body, thrilling Jiang Feng’s heart and mind!
Her massive mud eyes immediately glanced to the side.
She saw Lin Shiwei with an encouraging expression, gently nodding to her senior sister, while a petite Purple Gold Dragon danced between the girl’s fingers.
"Shu~ shu!"
Du Yu and Yang Qingqing, like sharp blades, descended with breezes breaking as they rapidly fell to the ground.
At this moment, Fu Jianzhou suddenly leaped back, shouting, "Senior sister!"
Jiang Feng couldn’t concern herself with much else; she straddled over Fu Jianzhou’s head, knelt with one knee, and crisscrossed a pair of bone blades in front of her.
"Crack!!!"
The Cold Tree Root was instantly torn asunder, ice shattered!
Du Yu’s eyes suddenly shone, and Yang Qingqing squinted slightly.
This method was indeed feasible!
With a strong attacking partner for Fu Jianzhou, he could destroy the Youhan Tree... No!
Du Yu equipped Fu Jianzhou with a Holy Weapon, the Cold Lake Sword, meaning Fu Jianzhou could slice through the Cold Tree Root himself!
"Buzz!"
The Cold Tree Stump trembled slightly, clearly experiencing extreme pain, yet it couldn’t break free from the binding of the Jade Gourd.
A gap as long as five meters appeared in front of everyone.
"Great!" Thrilled, Fu Jianzhou confirmed its effectiveness, then strode quickly to the side, continuing to soak the Cold Tree Root with the Frost Celestial Bead.
But Jiang Feng in front of the tree stump’s gap stood there, dumbfounded.
Twelve years of obsession,
Sourced from the skeletons of her father and mother pierced by Cold Branches,
Sourced from the undying Fire Orange Pig, from the Celestial Flash Butterfly torn to pieces.
Sourced from the twisted, deformed little body in her arms, and those painful, childish voices.
"Sister, I’m scared... I miss mom."
"Sister, it hurts so much..."
"Buzz!!!"
Du Yu, aware of the task’s importance, dared not hesitate, holding the Fire Age Axe, heading to the other side of the stump, preparing to attack the Cold Tree Stump from both sides with his senior sister to speed up the chopping.
But the sudden harsh tremor startled Du Yu, causing him to quickly look into the distance.
However, he saw the Mud Giant kneeling on one knee, staring fixedly at the torn Cold Tree Root, with its mud body trembling.
In the misty Bottomless Abyss, there were dense ripples of Demon Breath spreading out?!
Advancement?
Jiang Feng was at the peak of a Demon Taming General, was she about to... Advance to Demon Taming Emperor?!
"Boom!"
The Mud Giant stood up, holding her trembling, enormous mud body, wobbling towards the frost-soaked Cold Tree Root.
"Xiaofeng, sister will make it hurt too, let it hurt too..."
