Chapter 718: Blood Moth and Ice Saint Tree



A bottomless pit was blasted into the ground and stones and rocks were projected everywhere. Dust and ashes filled the air while dirt covered their ashamed faces.

“Argh!” They were so enraged that their lungs almost ruptured. As high and mighty half-step kings, when had they ever looked so discomposed and embarrassing?

“Old bastards, try and catch me if you’re not scared!” Lin Xun’s provocative voice rang in the distance, which almost made Mu Lingfeng and the others erupt into a berserk rage.

He called them old bastards! Did he think they didn't dare to kill him?

“Should we chase after him?” Jin Duzhen’s face was livid and his eyes were spewing out flames.

“He…” Mu Lingfeng hesitated. Everything was blanketed in darkness as night fell, and they had come to the depths of the Mulberry Woodland, where it was riddled with dangers.

“That kid is so arrogant! If we don’t kill him, then how can we face our clansmen?” Cang Langxue trembled with anger. Not only did they fail to catch Lin Xun, but her precious treasure, Overflowing Water Basin, had also been destroyed.

How could she tolerate Lin Xun’s repeated provocation?

“Huh?” Mu Lingfeng’s expression abruptly changed. “This isn’t good. Something seemed to be disturbed! A terrifying aura is coming this way!”

Almost at the same time, Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue also sensed the undisguised fiendish aura rising in the night, seeming particularly eerie in the darkness.

Lin Xun’s arrow had caused too great of disruption and attracted the attention of a terrifying existence!

“Don’t tell me that kid deliberately fired that arrow to alert others…”

The same thought struck Mu Lingfeng and the others.

“We have to chase! Danger will no doubt come if we stay around. It’s best to risk it and try to eliminate that little bastard!” Mu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

They flashed across the darkness, continuing to catch up to Lin Xun. But regardless of how furious they were, they knew they had to be cautious and vigilant.

It couldn’t be helped. The Mulberry Woodland was too terrifying in the night.

Not long after they left, a blood-colored moth flapped its wings and fluttered across that area.

Its palm-sized body seemed to be carved from the purest blood-colored gemstone. It was bright and beautiful and surrounded by a scarlet glow. Despite its elegant and light movements, the flap of its wings caused the nearby space to collapse and sink like it had been swallowed up by a black hole.

The fiendish qi that filled the air precisely came from its body.

Although it was small in size, its imposing bearing wasn’t the slightest bit ordinary. Even if it was just floating there, it oozed superiority like a ruler of the world.

“Biluo…” It murmured, “It turns out that it hasn’t been destroyed. But its aura is weak. Back then, it could even kill…”

“It seems that it has suffered some kind of heavy damage. Or perhaps, its power has deteriorated over the years…”

After a moment of silence, it flapped its wings and followed Lin Xun and the others.

……

Huh?

While fleeing, Lin Xun suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy. He stopped abruptly, only to realize that he had broken into a bizarre place.

It was too quiet. The area was wrapped in darkness, and blood-colored mist was spiraling in the air. The palpable silence was eerie and not the faintest whistle of wind could be heard.

In other areas, there were all kinds of earthshaking roars and sounds, such as the howling of gods and demons and the cries of ferocious beasts that could make one’s hair stand on end.

Only this area was abnormally silent.

Lin Xun became more vigilant than ever. The numbing feeling running through his scalp told him that there had to be some kind of unknowable terror hidden in the area.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue moving forward, he heard something piercing the air behind him.

“Have those old bastards caught up?” he exclaimed in surprise.

His provocation was just a test to see if the half-step kings would dare to continue to pursue him after nightfall.

He never thought that they would come after him.

He said through gritted teeth, ”Then let’s fight it out. Let’s see which one of us is tougher!”

He couldn’t care about anything else and rushed deeper into the eerie area.

He had decided to go all out. If he encountered great danger, then the worst result would be nothing but death. At least, that was better than dying at the hands of the enemy.

Shua!

Lin Xun darted through the dense fog with incredible speed, but the uneasiness in his heart never reduced. Instead, it grew more and more intense. His heart shuddered with fear and his hands and feet became ice-cold.

There seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him in the quiet, eerie area, which almost made him break down mentally.

It was an unprecedented feeling of horror, much more terrifying than facing a Life Death Stage King.

But Lin Xun couldn’t care about that anymore.

Huh?

A ray of crystal-like light flashed in the blood-colored fog afar, filled with an indescribable sacred charm.

“That’s—” he cautiously inched forward and saw an unforgettable scene—

Within the blood-colored mist stood a giant tree that seemed to be carved from ice. Its leaves fluttered like a palm leaf fan, its body glistened like snow, and its branches seemed to be sprinkling rays of sacred light.

The trunk of the tree was the most astonishing part. The bark cracked like dragon scales, but it was also as clear and pure as ice. It was of unfathomable heights, towering straight into the sky!

The sacred and pure giant tree had a majestic aura that made people want to worship it.

A thousand rays of snow-white light hung from its branches like a waterfall of light. They seemed to be dancing in the blood-red mist, looking particularly striking.

Lin Xun stared at it, stunned. He felt an incomparably sacred vitality spreading outwards from the ancient ice tree, setting his qi pulsing throughout his body and becoming the most lively it had ever been.

He felt he was being enlightened!

“This…”

A storm set off in his heart. “Could it be a legendary saint tree?”

But at the same time, he felt more and more uneasy. His hair stood on end. A feeling of imminent danger slapped every inch of his body like waves. He almost had the urge to leave the place.

Lin Xun speculated, “The eeriness and silence here seem to be connected to this tree!”

He thought it over and finally grit his teeth and cautiously approached the sacred ice tree. When he was ten feet away he stopped as he couldn’t bear the terrifying aura anymore.

In the end, he activated the Suanni Qi and concealed all traces of himself. Although the place was extremely dangerous, it could scare away Mu Lingfeng and the others!

Lin Xun wanted to see if those guys would dare to do something here.

……

“Something feels off! There is a great danger hidden here!”

Very soon, Mu Lingfeng and the others approached the eerie area, and their expressions changed in an instant.

As half-step kings, they were more sensitive to dangers than ordinary cultivators, so they sensed dangers in the area that could threaten their lives.

“Should we still chase after him?” Jin Duzhen gulped, shivering. He felt a suffocatingly oppressive aura in the area.

“That kid has gone in! Why don’t we dare to do the same? Also, judging from the aura he left behind, it’s obvious that he is still alive. We have come all the way here. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if we retreated?” Cang Lanxue said through gritted teeth.

Despite saying this, there was a feeling of unease in her heart.

“Then…chase after him!” Mu Lingfeng ordered. “But if something feels wrong, we have to leave immediately!”

Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue nodded. That was already the safest approach.

“Huh?”

As they nervously advanced, their eyes bulged wide open at the sight of a sacred tree.

“The aura of the saint path! The ancient tree is filled with a saint aura. Could...could the rumors be true?”

Mu Lingfeng’s and the others’ eyes blazed, and they almost screamed in excitement.

“Legend has it that the Mulberry Woodland holds a great secret of the saint path. By a lucky chance, a mulberry tree learned the secret and ascended to the Saint Stage!” Jin Duzhen murmured, eyes gleaming covetously. “I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but now, it seems that it may all be true...”

“Look! On the top of the saint tree is an ice flower and on the flower bud is a fruit! It’s so dazzling like the sun in a world of snow!” Cang Lanxue exclaimed, “That...that can’t be the saint fruit, right?”

Mu Lingfeng and Jin Duzhen followed her gaze and noticed an ice flower around the size of a millstone sitting atop the saint tree. The petals were crystal-clear, and it was blooming with thousand rays of divine lights.

A fruit was hanging from the ice flower. Even if it was only the size of a fist, it was so bright and dazzling that it resembled a little sun in the snow.

“That...is the great fortune that the king of our tribe is searching for! Unexpectedly, we discovered it first by accident!” Mu Lingfeng gasped.

He even forgot about catching Lin Xun. The opportunity in front of him was so astonishing and fascinating that it captivated his entire mind.

“Help protect me while I attempt to take this opportunity!” Mu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and decided to pick the mysterious fruit hanging from the tree.

“Okay!” Jin Duzhen and Cang Lanxue also decided to risk it. Even though they felt uneasy and looming danger, they wouldn’t hesitate to take the rare treasure.

Wealth was obtained from taking risks, let alone such an earth shaking rare treasure. They were willing to fight for it at all costs!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who was hiding not far away, was at a loss for words. He was the first to arrive, but he failed to notice the great opportunity on the tree because he was too vigilant of his surroundings.

What should I do?

Do I have to watch them take this great opportunity?

He soon calmed down because if the opportunity was so easy to obtain, it would have been taken away long ago. How would it still be around to this day?

There must be more to it!

Would Mu Lingfeng and the others not realize this?

Impossible!

Even so, they still decided to take the risk! That shows how much they want this great opportunity!
