Chapter 393 The Demonic Divine Tree

Chapter 393: The Demonic Divine Tree

The Life Ancient Tree glowed with emerald light, translucent and sparkling, enveloped in an ethereal Qi that brought peace to the area.

The only drawback was that all the trees were bare, without a single tender leaf, making them seem to lack vitality.

“What a pity,” Lan Xian sighed. “The Life Ancient Tree, or rather, the Life Divine Tree—in the last epoch, these were all Divine Medicines!”

Looking around, there was more than one withered ancient tree. Their branches were gnarled and powerful, like coiled Dragons dormant there, covering the mountain range.

One could imagine how prosperous this place once was, with a vast area dedicated to cultivating Divine Medicines—it was truly a treasure trove fit only for Immortals.

However, after a great battle, the owner of the medicine garden perished, and all the Life Divine Trees withered with him.

It was even rumored that in the Immortal Ancient era, an Elixir of Life—the Life Immortal Tree—once grew here.

Unfortunately, by this epoch, this Immortal Tree had long since vanished, and it was unknown if it had withered and died like the other trees here.

Of course, the Elixir of Life was different from Divine Medicines; its vitality was tenacious, and even if it perished, it would eventually Rebirth through Nirvana.

However, when that day came, it was uncertain into whose hands the Xian Yao (Immortal Medicine) would fall.

“Damn it, Divine Medicines…!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s heart could not be calmed. He let out a loud cry, heartbroken, as if a family member had passed away.

Lan Xian was startled, finding his expression quite speechless. Was such a strong reaction really necessary?

But it was still understandable; after all, anyone who saw a forest of withered Divine Trees would feel immense pity.

“Since they’re all withered, their medicinal properties lost, and their essence gradually dissipating, why are we still here?” Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

“Because of their trees… Watch out!” Lan Xian suddenly shouted.

“Buzz!”

At that moment, the previously desolate Divine Tree forest seemed to come alive. The trees glowed all over, a brilliant emerald.

At the same time, a terrifying ripple spread out. The branches of those Life Ancient Trees writhed like winding Great Dragons, striking towards the two of them.

“Clang!”

Lin Fan met the attack with his fist, and a crisp metallic sound rang out. Sparks flew, like two pieces of Divine Metal colliding.

“So hard! What’s going on? Did these trees turn into spirits again after dying?” He was very surprised.

One must know that even if he couldn’t use Spell here, his unparalleled Physical Body shouldn’t be something plants could directly contend with.

Furthermore, even living Divine Medicines shouldn’t possess such combat power, unless they were special existences like the Heavenly God Tree or the Myriad Poison Divine Tree.

“The Life Ancient Trees are indeed dead, but don’t forget, this place is an Immortal battlefield, with too many strange occurrences.”

“Not only did Immortals perish here, but also many other living beings were buried, forming an unyielding Immortal Dao Evil Qi that ultimately demonized this Divine Tree forest.”

Lan Xian explained while holding a Sharp Weapon, her posture graceful, dodging the thick branches while striking at the trees.

In fact, the Divine Trees were already dead, devoid of all spirituality. What controlled them now was the Immortal Dao Evil Qi.

“Boom!”

Lin Fan unleashed a punch, golden blood Qi surging. Every inch of his Physical Body radiated Divine Light, possessing explosive power.

In an instant, his blood Qi influenced time and distorted space, displaying world-shaking Divine Might!

“Crack!”

This time, the branches of the Life Ancient Tree, as hard as Divine Metal, shattered inch by inch, unable to withstand Lin Fan’s fist light.

Lan Xian was dumbfounded. Was this Junior Brother’s Physical Body really that formidable?

However, before the two could ponder further, something astonishing happened.

Green light flickered, and essence Qi surged. The shattered branches of the Life Ancient Tree rapidly regrew.

“Hmm, are these trees unkillable?” Lin Fan frowned.

“The Life Ancient Trees are rooted here and can continuously absorb Immortal Dao Evil Qi. To completely destroy them, you must dig out their tree hearts,” Lan Xian said.

Additionally, she explained that the tree heart was also the most essential part of the Divine Tree, possessing the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bones.

The most crucial point was that it contained Immortal Qi. If used for alchemy and its essence extracted, it would be greatly beneficial for cultivating Immortal Qi.

“So that’s how it is!” Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised, his eyes gleaming.

“Kill!”

He roared, unleashing the extreme power of his Physical Body while his Spell was restricted, truly demonstrating the might of his precious body.

Outwardly, he appeared slender, with skin as white as congealed fat, but his physique was incredibly strong, radiating surging blood Qi, like an Immortal Furnace being moved.

With a bang, amidst the blazing fist light, the Void Realm itself collapsed, let alone the thick tree branches.

Then, Lin Fan soared, rushing towards a Life Ancient Tree at extreme speed, like a Heavenly Dragon streaking across the sky.

When he punched again, the sounds of Dragon roars and tiger cries accompanied it, and various phenomena emerged!

“Boom!”

A jade-green Divine Tree exploded, shattered wood flying, revealing a prismatic crystal inside—the tree heart!

Lin Fan grabbed it in his palm. Its surface was warm and smooth like jade, with a crystalline luster, not like bark, but rather like a bone.

If he peeled off a layer of the crystalline skin, a clear fragrance instantly wafted out, permeated with rich life essence Qi, causing his pores to open wide.

“What a good thing!” Lin Fan exclaimed. The Immortal Qi within his body subtly trembled, as if greedily wanting to absorb this green viscous liquid.

Lan Xian was surprised, somewhat unexpectedly. This Junior Brother had obtained a tree heart with his bare hands so quickly; his Physical Body was abnormally strong.

“Swish!”

At this moment, the other Divine Trees erupted, shining brightly, and all surrounded them, launching their fiercest attacks.

Although they weren’t tall, less than a zhang, their wood was robust, and the peeling layers of old bark were as hard as armor, making them difficult to damage.

Ordinary creatures who came here, with their Spell suppressed, were simply no match for them.

The scattered bones in the mountain range were the best proof.

“Don’t prolong the battle. Once we’ve taken the tree hearts, we must leave quickly!” Lan Xian’s robes fluttered, and her aquamarine hair shone brightly.

She used a secret treasure, mixed with some Immortal Gold, and with a crack, split open a Divine Tree, obtaining a wooden crystal.

“I need a larger quantity. Let me get a few more!” Lin Fan said. He couldn’t help it; his body consumed resources several times faster than ordinary people.

However, he planned to finish quickly. If he were surrounded by a large number of ancient trees, it would be bad, and he would fall into a dangerous situation.

The next moment, a glowing Divine Plate rose—it was the Unique Cave Heaven, as brilliant as a sun.

As soon as it appeared, runes flashed, rules intertwined, and Dao Qi permeated, forming a mysterious field.

“I can use Spell now!” Lin Fan exclaimed with delight. The field counteracted the Restriction in the mountain range, allowing him to briefly recover his Divine Power.

In an instant, his whole body surged with essence Qi, burning fiercely like flames. He pointed his fingers like a sword, instantly tearing apart several ancient trees.

“You can use precious techniques?!”

Lan Xian, witnessing this scene, was utterly shocked. This Junior Brother seemed even more abnormal and mysterious than she had imagined.

“Boom!”

Lin Fan moved with wide, sweeping motions, golden lightning radiating from his body. He condensed a thunderous battle saber and chased after those ancient trees, chopping them down like cutting vegetables.

In a short while, the dozen or so ancient trees that had surrounded them all fell, their bodies shattered, with only their tree hearts remaining.

But this was not the end. Lin Fan proactively attacked, delving deeper into the mountain range, transforming into a killing machine, continuing to collect the emerald prismatic crystals.
