Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 479: The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree-man King
Xueyao’s words made Wang Ruoxie’s eyes brighten; if that’s the case, then he can try his best to hunt more tree-men.
If he can acquire enough Divine Power Crystals, he will certainly be able to break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm in the shortest time, or even step into the Divine Human Realm.
By then, he can directly converse with the Sect Leader of the Profound Lady Sect, or even the Ancestors, to ask about Profound Lady’s information. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Junior Brother Ruoxie, do you think we should go in?"
Xueyao looked at Wang Ruoxie and spoke.
"Since we have come here, we naturally have to go in; we can’t return empty-handed, can we?"
Before Wang Ruoxie could speak, Tianyi interjected.
This time coming to Fallen God Peak, he not only failed to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Human Realm but also didn’t find any Profound Technique Fragments. If he doesn’t hunt some tree-men and obtain the Divine Power Crystals within them, it would truly be a wasted trip.
However, Xueyao didn’t respond to Tianyi; instead, she continued to look at Wang Ruoxie, waiting for his opinion.
This made Tianyi’s already unpleasant expression become even more unsightly.
"Let’s go in first and take a look. If those tree-men are indeed too powerful, we’ll retreat out."
Wang Ruoxie slightly nodded and spoke.
As for these so-called tree-men, although he hadn’t seen one, he was quite confident in dealing with them. His Five Elements Divine Fist contained the Power of the Five Elements, which had a great suppressive effect on single attributes.
The previous stone-man was an example; otherwise, no matter how strong his physique was, he couldn’t have shattered the stone man’s enormous body with one punch.
"Alright."
Xueyao nodded.
The three of them lifted their steps and walked directly into the dense forest.
Soon, a tree-man appeared before them.
This tree-man’s body was also over ten feet tall, like a towering giant tree, but compared to actual trees, it had arms, legs, and a head.
"Humans, how dare you trespass into our Myriad Woods Forest—kill them!"
At this moment, the tree-man spoke human words and then charged at the three of them.
"This is bad; this tree-man can speak, indicating it has at least been around for a thousand years, with strength comparable to the late stage or even peak of the Celestial Emperor Realm. We can’t possibly contend with it."
Xueyao’s face changed dramatically and she exclaimed, "We must retreat quickly; generally, tree-men won’t step outside the boundary of Myriad Woods Forest."
"Senior Sister Xueyao, you retreat first, I’ll deal with it."
After saying this to Xueyao, Wang Ruoxie’s body suddenly trembled and he charged towards the tree-man.
As for Tianyi, he was already entangled by another tree-man that couldn’t speak.
"Weak human, you dare challenge my authority—die."
Seeing Wang Ruoxie dare to charge towards it, the tree-man coldly scolded, and with that, its enormous arm, seemingly formed from countless branches and leaves, swung viciously at Wang Ruoxie.
Wang Ruoxie didn’t hesitate, directly using the Five Elements Divine Fist to punch at the tree-man.
"Boom..."
With a loud explosion, the tree-man’s huge body was shattered by Wang Ruoxie’s punch, turning into a ground full of branches and leaves.
However, in the next moment, those branches and leaves on the ground began to move, quickly reassembling into the tree-man’s enormous body once more.
"Weak human, you cannot kill me."
The tree-man sneered, and then its enormous arm attacked Wang Ruoxie again.
"Is that so? Then try this punch."
Wang Ruoxie replied indifferently and punched towards the tree-man once more.
This time, not only did it contain the Power of the Five Elements, but wisps of white flame also enveloped it.
"Foolish human, do you think we tree-men fear flames?"
Seeing Wang Ruoxie attempting to use flames against it, the tree-man sneered dismissively.
"Junior Brother Ruoxie, the bodies of these tree-men, although formed from branches and leaves, have been tempered by the Power of Wood and barely count as a Divine Body, so they are not afraid of ordinary flames."
Xueyao also hurriedly reminded.
"My flames are not ordinary flames."
Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently. This was the Primordial Fire he condensed using the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture as the foundation, far more powerful than regular flames.
Now, he had cultivated the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture to the Fourth Transformation level, so the power of this Primordial Fire had naturally increased by an unknown number of times.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Wang Ruoxie’s fist landed on the tree-man’s massive body instantly.
This time, although it didn’t shatter the body, the strands of white flame quickly turned into a raging fire, engulfing its body.
"No..."
The tree-man roared, finally sensing the terror of the white flames.
The areas burned by the white flames could no longer regenerate.
Amidst the tree-man’s frantic and unwilling roars, its massive body was ultimately completely obliterated by the Primordial Fire.
In the ashes below, a fist-sized green crystal lay quietly, which was clearly the Divine Power Crystal within the tree-man.
"The crystal inside this millennial tree-man is not only much larger compared to the Divine Power Crystal inside a regular stone-man but also seems to contain purer Divine Power."
Wang Ruoxie picked up the green crystal, smiling faintly as he whispered.
At this moment, Tianyi had finally killed the several-hundred-year-old tree-man, obtaining the Divine Power Crystal within it.
However, seeing the Divine Power Crystal in Wang Ruoxie’s hand, several times larger, his joyous expression vanished.
He naturally knew that the Divine Power Crystal within a millennial tree-man contained Divine Power far exceeding that within ordinary tree-men and was much purer.
If the Divine Power in a typical Divine Power Crystal equaled the Divine Power of an Upper God Realm martial cultivator diluted by one-thousandth, then the millennial Divine Power Crystal was equivalent to a dilution of one percent of Divine Power.
This means the Divine Power in a millennial Divine Power Crystal is at least ten times purer than that in a typical Divine Power Crystal.
Moreover, the amount of Divine Power in a millennial Divine Power Crystal is at least several times that in a typical Divine Power Crystal, making its value at least dozens of times more than a typical Divine Power Crystal.
Over the following period, Xueyao, Wang Ruoxie, and Tianyi continued hunting tree-men in the Myriad Woods Forest.
Their harvest was naturally quite bountiful, especially Wang Ruoxie. With his mastery of Primordial Fire, his speed at hunting tree-men far surpassed that of Xueyao and Tianyi combined.
Moreover, only he could hunt tree-men over a thousand years old, so his harvest far exceeded the combined totals of Xueyao and Tianyi.
"Kill as many as you can; in the end, all the Divine Power Crystals you acquire will be mine."
Tianyi’s eyes revealed a cold glint as he stared at Wang Ruoxie, sneering inwardly.
He initially wanted to kill Wang Ruoxie because of Xueyao, but now he wanted to kill him for the large quantities of Divine Power Crystals in his possession.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a terrifying roar erupted from the depths of Myriad Woods Forest.
"That’s bad, it’s a Tree-man King over ten thousand years old, we must escape immediately."
Xueyao’s face drastically changed, and she hurriedly spoke.
