Chapter 312: Saint Wood

Chapter 312: sage wood

Time flowed by. It had been a month since they departed from Qizhou, covering tens of millions of miles, yet they still hadn't found the sage wood.

On this day, as Lin Fan and the others were traveling, on a crumbling stone mountain, a withered grass glowed, emitting fierce Sword Qi.

In an instant, every Sword Qi beam sliced through heaven and earth, accompanied by Chaos Qi, incredibly thick, as if illuminating eternity.

Lin Fan and Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, were shocked and quickly dodged to an infinite distance, but the sword light brushed past them, cutting off entire mountain ranges.

Even more astonishing was the high sky, which was the main target of the attack; millions of Sword Qi beams shot down, exploding one large star after another, causing them to fall.

"What kind of grass is this?"

The two looked at each other, their hearts pounding. If they hadn't dodged in time, they would have been reduced to ashes by the aftermath.

"Perhaps it's some kind of Immortal Plant that was picked by a powerful figure, refined into a supreme killing Magical Artifact, and then left here," Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, speculated.

Lin Fan's eyes gleamed, wanting to restrain that withered grass. He discovered that the Sword Intent was extremely similar to the Grass Character Sword Secret.

"Brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to die?" Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, was stunned and quickly tried to stop him, wrapping his arms around his waist.

At the same time, he felt a chill from head to toe. That was power capable of killing a Sect Master, indicating that Lin Fan wanted to die, but he did not!

"Don't worry, I'm just trying with a Chaos Magical Artifact. I won't really go and get it myself."

Lin Fan said, activating the Human Emperor Banner, releasing a Divine Rank Yin Soul, which rushed towards the top of the crumbling stone mountain.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire mountain body exuded a Dao of Immortality aura, with dense symbols, revealing a barrier that made it impossible to approach.

At the same time, the withered grass seemed to come alive, and with a gentle sway, it shot out a Sword Qi, annihilating the Yin Soul and piercing through the stars.

Lin Fan's expression changed, mixed with a chill. He quickly stopped his actions. It was too terrifying. Perhaps it wasn't an Immortal Mountain or Immortal Plant after all?

"Don't try again. This is not something we can covet," Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, whispered, advising him to leave quickly, as it was truly dangerous.

At this moment, such behavior was undoubtedly courting death.

Lin Fan nodded, shaking the Human Emperor Banner. The annihilated Yin Soul reformed into a beam of light and flew back into the banner.

This was the astonishing aspect of the Devouring Devil Emperor's weapon. As long as the banner was not destroyed, the Yin Souls within it would not dissipate and would exist eternally.

In a sense, this could be considered eternal life, but many people would probably not wish for it, as it was more terrifying than death.

Life after life, unable to transcend, forever suffering torment!

"It truly is a Devil Weapon, full of devilishness!" Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, muttered, feeling a chill and moving further away.

Lin Fan didn't mind this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to achieve eternal life in the future, you can come find me!"

Upon hearing this, Yuechan's Uncle shook his head frantically. He would not want such an eternal life; he would rather self-destruct his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

Next, another dozen days passed in a flash. They traveled day and night, enduring the elements along the way, but they still hadn't found the sage wood.

This made the two of them wonder if they had taken the wrong path, deviating from the correct one.

However, after careful verification, the route was correct. It was in this direction, in this area; they just hadn't found it yet.

Then, after another half month of travel, the two encountered danger several times but managed to survive and avoid an untimely death.

In fact, they were already quite remarkable. Even ancient peerless Cultivators rarely traversed long distances in the No Man's Land.

Because, the more they understood, the more they realized how dangerous it was here; it could simply be described as—danger at every step!

However, behind them, a few others were even more miserable, covered in blood, almost getting lost in this forbidden zone.

"When I catch that little bastard, I will definitely tear him into ten thousand pieces and torture him severely!"

Finally, Lin Fan and Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, reached their destination. It was a forest, filled with rich Spiritual Qi, with an ethereal mist rising, like a True Dragon soaring into the sky.

sage wood!

At this moment, not only were Lin Fan's eyes gleaming, but Yuechan's Uncle also showed a strange expression, highly interested in this treasure land.

Because, compared to the entire No Man's Land, this place seemed unique, enveloped in an aura of peace and holiness.

"Don't be careless. Don't forget we are in a forbidden zone. Such peculiar places often appear, and perhaps they are even more dangerous!" Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, warned vigilantly.

According to ancient records, sage wood was a rare treasure, very special. The place where it grew was filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, which easily attracted venomous insects and fierce beasts.

Moreover, it was very difficult to transplant; it would die if moved from its original location.

This was also one of the reasons why the Butian Sect's ancient sage, upon discovering this treasure, did not take any part of it.

Furthermore, the sage wood was not a towering tree, only about a foot long, shorter than some plants, but its roots twisted and turned like a swimming Dragon, vigorous and powerful!

The small tree exuded auspicious glow, in various colors. Some leaves were golden, some were as white as jade… crystal clear and radiant.

Therefore, it was the most extraordinary, emitting a Holy Light that could purify the Divine Soul and also temper the Physical Body.

"Hmm?!" Lin Fan was startled. As soon as he approached the forest, he sensed something abnormal and felt a warning in his heart, so he didn't dare to get too close.

On the tree trunk, a group of black insects were crawling. They were thumb-sized, with outer shells that shimmered with dark light, like metal armor, quite extraordinary.

"These are… Black Ants!" Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, exclaimed in surprise, recognizing them.

It was said that these insects possessed immense strength. With their Physical Body alone, they could collapse a mountain, and they also contained potent venom that could even corrode a Heavenly God.

"Buzz!"

One insect vibrated its wings, seemingly having discovered the two, and swooped over, incredibly sharp, with the keenness of metal.

Lin Fan met it with a punch, his golden Qi surging, his Divine Power unparalleled, engaging in a fierce battle with this True God-level insect, sparks flying everywhere.

"Boom!"

Although it was powerful, it was ultimately no match for Lin Fan. After a few rounds, it fell to the ground, snapped into two pieces.

However, this awakened the other Black Ants. They were densely packed, a black mass, their wing beats like a booming bell.

At this moment, Lin Fan's scalp tingled, because among them were not only True God-level insects but also Heavenly God-level black insects, and quite a few of them.

"Hahaha, I finally have a chance to act! Brother, you step back, let me deal with them!"

Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, laughed heartily, as if he had found the purpose of this trip. He formed a hand seal, conjured a Divine Tower, and slammed it down fiercely.

With a bang, a large group of insects exploded like fireworks, a truly dazzling sight.

At the same time, during the fierce battle, the two noticed the abnormality of these insects: they couldn't use Divine Ability and only fought by instinct.

Therefore, even if there were Heavenly God-level Black Ants, under the same circumstances, they were not a match for Yuechan's Uncle.

But the good times didn't last long, and he started to struggle. The number of insects was too great, they were everywhere in the sky, and each one fought fearlessly.

This was truly terrifying!

When they gathered together and launched a full-scale attack, they were comparable to an army of Cultivators. That kind of might was difficult to contend with.

"Brother, the insects have gone crazy! I can't do it anymore, it's your turn!"

Qing Yang, a Heavenly God, shouted. In this moment of life-or-death crisis, he decisively abandoned his Face and chose to ask for help.

Lin Fan, helpless, manipulated the Human Emperor Banner. Instantly, thunder rolled, and endless electric arcs descended, engulfing the area.

Immediately, the densely packed army of insects was charred black by the electricity, crackling as they fell, like dumplings dropping into a pot.
