Chapter 732
Seeing these insects, Yang Tian suddenly understood the talisman master’s plan.
If Yang Tian killed all these insects for the sake of those purple crystals, the giant black tree wouldn’t be destroyed.
Yang Tian did not stop the white bugs from eating the black leaves. Soon, another leaf was gnawed open. In the space of the leaf, there was also a space that contained some cultivators. Once the space of the leaf was broken, hundreds of cultivators inside gained their freedom and flew out.
No one knew what happened in the space of the leaf. As soon as these cultivators came out, they began to kill each other. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people were killed or injured.
Yang Tian didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but soon, someone came to find him.
The range of the hundreds of cultivators’battle became wider and wider. One of them was sent flying by a punch from the other. When he stopped, he raised his head and saw Yang Tian. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, he rushed toward Yang Tian and Hui Ermiaomiao.
This was a cultivator in the illusory realm. His eyes were blood-red as if he had gone mad.
Yang Tian didn’t move. The little azure dragon leaped up from his shoulder and opened its mouth, spitting out a golden dragon flame at the person who was charging at him. The dragon flame wrapped around the person in an instant, burning him into black powder in the blink of an eye.
What surprised Yang Tian happened. After the person died, a pale blue energy with a life force rushed out of the Golden Dragon Flame, flying toward the giant black tree and entering the trunk.
The Little Azure Dragon was already stronger than cultivators of the same realm, not to mention that it was a level higher. Killing this person was too easy.
This was obviously a wisp of consciousness left behind after a cultivator died, which was the so-called soul.
This was the first time Yang Tian had seen a ‘soul’.
Because it was close, only a wisp of this person’s soul could be seen by Yang Tian. Then, the souls of the people who died earlier must have been absorbed by the black tree.
Suddenly, Yang Tian thought of a possibility and couldn’t help but be startled.
This giant black tree seemed to need to absorb people’s souls, and these hundreds of cultivators had bloodshot eyes and crazed expressions. Clearly, their minds had been bewitched by the space of the giant black tree’s leaves. The giant black tree, or rather, the talisman master’s goal, was to have them kill each other..
Seeing another leaf being bitten open by the white insect and hundreds of cultivators appearing once again, the situation was the same as before. Yang Tian hurriedly pulled Hui woeful Miao back.
At this time, he did not want to fight with these people, lest he become the Talisman Master’s accomplice.
After getting some distance away from the giant black tree, the black tree became a little smaller, and one could already see its entire appearance.
This space was truly wondrous. Yang Tian only felt that he had retreated several hundred meters, as if he had crossed several tens of kilometers.
There were simply too many leaves on the giant black tree. Almost every leaf had a unique space.
Every time the white insect bit through a black leaf, a group of cultivators would rush out, as well as a large number of... Exotic Beasts!
Regardless of whether it was cultivators or exotic beasts, they were all incomparably crazy. As soon as they appeared, they began to kill each other.
Yang Tian focused his gaze and looked over. He discovered that among the dead exotic beasts, there would also be a faint thread of soul that would fly out and throw into the giant black tree.
During this process, Yang Tian realized that the stronger the cultivators and beasts were, the bluer and more powerful the soul energy that flew out from the corpses was after they died.
“Those people seem to be from the three divine halls!”
When another black leaf broke open and a group of people rushed out, Hui Ermiaomiao pointed at these people and said in surprise.
The black-robed disciples of the limitless divine hall, the blue-robed disciples of the Starry Divine Hall, and the white-robed disciples of the Divine Hall of the Heaven Domain had a total of nearly 1,000 people fighting each other. Even the sects were fighting each other.
Yang Tian hadn’t gone out since he came underground. However, he could guess that something must have happened on the ground, which led a large number of cultivators to this place.
“Let’s Go!”
Seeing that more and more people and strange beasts were coming out, Yang Tian pulled Hui Woesiao and quickly retreated a distance.
In this situation, Yang Tian could only Dodge. If he went forward, he would be in trouble if he was entangled by those cultivators and strange beasts who had lost their minds and gone crazy.
After moving further away, the giant black tree became smaller in Yang Tian and the others’eyes.
With their current vision, looking at the giant black tree was like looking at a potted plant. And the cultivators and exotic beasts that came out of the black leaves were moving points.
This vision gave Yang Tian a sense of control.
But Yang Tian understood that this was just an illusion. In order to test it, Yang Tian condensed a stream of mental energy and rushed toward the giant black tree. ..
This stream of mental energy naturally contained a trace of Yang Tian’s will.
As he expected, the giant black tree that seemed very close and very small became bigger at an extremely fast speed as the mental energy moved forward. The surrounding space also expanded infinitely, giving Yang Tian the feeling that.., it was as if his body was shrinking at an extremely fast speed.
When Yang Tian’s spiritual power was within a certain range of the giant black tree, a strand of consciousness attached to the spiritual power was attracted by a powerful attractive force emitted from the giant black tree, it rushed toward the giant tree uncontrollably.
Normally, if the consciousness wanted to leave the body, it had to be supported by energy.
For example, every time Yang Tian wanted to look at an item, he would use his mental energy to support a wisp of consciousness. If he did not have mental energy, he could not release his consciousness. Otherwise, it would disappear once it left the body.
However, in this current environment, this wisp of consciousness did not disappear after leaving the Wisp of mental energy. Instead, it was extremely condensed.
Yang Tian originally wanted to cut off the connection with this wisp of consciousness, but out of curiosity, he did not do so. He really wanted to know what would happen after the consciousness entered the giant black tree.
Curiosity would kill the cat, and of course, it would also kill people. Following that, Yang Tian almost fell into the trap.
When the Wisp of consciousness was about to approach the trunk of the giant black tree, suddenly, a strong attractive force was placed on Yang Tian’s body, wanting to pull his consciousness out of his body.
Yang Tian’s brain roared, and the energy in his body began to boil, and the original world in his body began to shake.
Yang Tian could not help but be shocked, and he hurriedly cut off the connection with that strand of consciousness.
Fortunately, Yang Tian did it in time. Once the connection with that strand of consciousness was cut off, the strong attractive force that was applied to his body by the giant black tree immediately disappeared.
“Hu ~”
Yang Tian was extremely afraid and could not help but let out a long breath.
At this moment, his face was pale. His body, which had not sweated for a long time, was actually covered in sweat.
“What’s Wrong?”
Seeing Yang Tian’s strange behavior, Hui Woemiao Miaomiao asked with a concerned expression.
...
Yang Tian smiled bitterly and said, “I was almost done for just now...”
