Chapter 422 ancestral spirit Tree

The Fifth Ancestor did not speak, his brow slightly furrowed.

At this moment, the two corpse-guarding deacons moved their hands in seals faster and faster. Finally, they simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. This blood did not fall to the ground in mid-air, but instead transformed into two blood figures made of blood mist, which abruptly rushed out, penetrated the coffin in mid-air, and went directly inside.

Amidst sounds of friction, a giant corpse drifted out from within the coffin. This corpse was over ten zhang in size, with rot covering much of its body, and in some places, ghastly white bones were already exposed.

Some huge maggots were still crawling in and out of it, looking extremely disgusting.

However, the head of this giant corpse was preserved relatively well, especially at the center of its brow, where a purple axe mark was extremely distinct.

Just at this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from outside the black mist: "Fifth Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Race, I am Chu Yunfei of the Tianyu Sect. I have come to battle you!"

At the same time this voice arrived, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise erupted from outside the black mist. The powerful rumbling brought with it a massive shockwave, which immediately dispersed the surrounding black mist.

One could see that a thousand zhang away, the Soul Transformation Elder of the Tianyu Sect stood in mid-air with eyes like lightning. Behind him followed a large number of Cultivators, all of whom had cold gazes, revealing monstrous killing intent.

The Fifth Ancestor's eyes turned cold. He waved his right hand and shouted: "Kill!"

As soon as the word left his lips, all the Immortal Remnant Race clansmen on the ground immediately rushed out, and a great battle unfolded.

Chu Yunfei's body moved, transforming into a ray of light, and he instantly arrived beside the coffin. He struck down with a palm and shouted: "Corpse Yin Sect, you are courting death!"

The Fifth Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Race had a flash in his eyes. He raised his right hand and grabbed through the air, snatching the giant corpse before the other party could strike it down, and threw it toward the center where the clansmen were worshipping.

With a loud boom, the giant corpse landed, kicking up a layer of dust that spread in all directions.

The coffin, however, was immediately shattered under Chu Yunfei's palm strike.

"Activate the Reincarnation Tree!" the Fifth Ancestor said rapidly. Afterward, his body moved and he immediately rushed toward Chu Yunfei. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a large amount of black mist immediately shrouded the surroundings, enveloping both him and Chu Yunfei.

Inside the black mist, flashes of Magic Treasure light appeared, and as Immortal energy swirled, it brought with it massive shockwaves. Any Cultivators or Immortal Remnant Race clansmen who were nearby were immediately caught in the aftermath, their bodies collapsing and dying.

After the Fifth Ancestor rushed out, an eight-leaf Elder of the Immortal Remnant Race immediately stepped forward. With a leap, he vaulted over the clansmen and stood directly on top of the giant corpse. Completely unbothered by the maggots beneath his feet, he wiped his right hand across his chest, and suddenly a golden glow the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

At this moment, a middle-aged man at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation among the Cultivators had a flash in his eyes. He cast aside the Immortal Remnant Race clansman he was entangled with, immediately flashed out, and rushed toward the eight-leaf Spell Caster holding the golden glow, shouting: "Put down the golden glow!" A crystal light flashed in his hand, and a Flying Sword whistled toward him.

The eight-leaf Elder looked up abruptly, glanced at the rushing middle-aged man, and without hesitation, pressed the golden glow toward the chest of the giant corpse.

As the crystal light flickered, the Flying Sword flashed through the eight-leaf Elder's chest, bringing with it a large amount of fresh blood. The eight-leaf Elder's face turned pale, but the golden glow in his hand was pressed onto the chest of the Giant Demon Race corpse.

Afterward, he laughed loudly, wiped his right hand across the wound on his chest, licked the fresh blood from his hand, and immediately rushed out to engage the middle-aged man in battle.

On the Giant Demon corpse, the golden glow grew brighter and brighter, like the sun, shining with boundless light.

Chu Yunfei, who was fighting the Fifth Ancestor, frowned, retreated, and shouted: "Destroy that Giant Demon Race corpse!"

The surrounding Cultivators, upon hearing this, immediately rushed toward the Giant Demon Race corpse.

However, the Immortal Remnant Race clansmen were now resisting crazily as if they did not care about their lives, some even choosing to self-destruct just to block the Cultivators.

The golden glow grew brighter and brighter. At the same time, the Giant Demon Race corpse rapidly withered. At this moment, the corpse was like the earth, and the golden glow was like a plant growing within the earth, absorbing nutrients and gradually maturing.

This process lasted for ten breaths before the Giant Demon Race corpse completely became a dried corpse and finally, with a bang, turned into flying ash and dissipated.

Chu Yunfei's body flashed, and he rushed out of the black mist, heading straight for where the golden glow was. The Fifth Ancestor, inside the black mist, revealed a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth and did not stop him.

The moment Chu Yunfei arrived, the golden glow suddenly shattered, and a hundred-zhang-tall Reincarnation Tree abruptly rose from the ground, pointing straight to the sky.

A vast fluctuation spread out from it, immediately shrouding the entire eastern part of the Vermilion Bird Star.

Chu Yunfei's expression changed greatly, and he immediately retreated, but he was still caught in the aftermath of this vast power, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The Fifth Ancestor sneered and moved his body, rushing toward Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei turned abruptly, his eyes flashed, and instead of fighting again, he turned and rushed out of the area, shouting: "Retreat!"

Those Cultivators who were fighting with the Immortal Remnant Race all sighed upon hearing this and hurriedly evacuated.

The Immortal Remnant Race clansmen were about to pursue, but the Fifth Ancestor said in a deep voice: "Do not pursue. Guard the Reincarnation ancestral spirit Tree!"

Elder Sima of the Corpse Yin Sect, who had not made a move the entire time, now had a strange light in his eyes. He looked at the Reincarnation Tree and said: "According to our agreement, Fifth Ancestor, where is the item?"

The Fifth Ancestor was silent for a moment. He pointed his right hand at his brow, and with a flick, a palm-sized rune flew out from his brow.

This rune was extremely complex; at a glance, it was almost dizzying, but it contained a trace of Primordial Qi, as if from when the world was first created.

"This rune is one of the Ancestral Runes, perfected by me after I reached the nine-leaf stage!" As he spoke, he flicked his right hand, and the rune immediately flew toward Elder Sima.

Sima's expression became solemn. He immediately slapped his Storage Pouch, and a jade box appeared in his hand. This jade box did not emit spiritual power, but rather Immortal energy, and there were some powerful Restrictions on it.

He carefully put the rune into the jade box, let out a long sigh of relief, and after putting it into his Storage Pouch, he smiled: "Fifth Ancestor is indeed straightforward. I hope the other ancestors of your Immortal Remnant Race will be the same after receiving the corpses."

"Since my Immortal Remnant Race has an agreement with your Corpse Yin Sect, we will not go back on our word!" The Fifth Ancestor swept a cold glance at Sima.

Sima laughed heartily. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "I will pass on a message to you on behalf of my Corpse Yin Sect Sect Master: within our Corpse Yin Sect, there is another Giant Demon Race ancestor's Physical Body that once beheaded several nine-leaf Spell Casters of your Immortal Remnant Race. His Physical Body has already reached the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation. If you want it, you can contact us at any time!" After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he flashed his body and left quickly.

The two corpse-guarding deacons immediately followed, and the three of them disappeared into the black mist in the blink of an eye.

The same scene was taking place in the north, south, and west directions.

Unfortunately, except for the Vermilion Bird Son, who successfully destroyed the Reincarnation Tree in the west, the locations in the east and south were not successful. However, in the north, a bizarre scene occurred.

Situ Nan's figure was like a ghost, quietly entering the large patch of black mist in the north of the Vermilion Bird Continent. His arrival was not noticed by anyone, not even the Fourth Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Race, who was presiding over the area.

The moment the Reincarnation ancestral spirit Tree grew, Situ Nan's entire person transformed into a phantom and parasitized within it.

He forcibly devoured all the massive nutrients needed for the Reincarnation Tree's growth, causing one of the extremely rare Reincarnation ancestral spirit seeds within the Immortal Remnant Race to immediately collapse and dissipate into nothingness.

This bizarre scene shocked all the Immortal Remnant Race clansmen in the north, and the Fourth Ancestor, in his anger, did not hesitate to sacrifice a rune, using a Secret Technique to finally see Situ Nan.

Situ Nan laughed heartily at the Fourth Ancestor, his body flashed, and he disappeared from where he was. In the wind, his arrogant voice came: "It tasted damn awful. If I had known it tasted so bad, I wouldn't have eaten it!"

The Fourth Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Race was a white-haired old man. His eyes were blood-red, almost dripping blood. He roared and immediately rushed out, chasing relentlessly. In his view, what Situ Nan devoured was not just a Reincarnation Tree; it was an ancestral spirit!!!

An ancestral spirit that the Immortal Remnant Race had only cultivated five of in tens of thousands of years. Once the ancestral spirit grew and was combined with Secret Techniques, it wouldn't take long for it to descend as a spirit body from the void, combining with the ancestral spirit to become a ten-leaf Spell Caster!

Now, right under his nose, an ancestral spirit had been devoured alive just like that. His anger had clouded his mind and reached its limit.

"I am going to kill you!!!" the Fourth Ancestor roared as he rushed out crazily.

Situ Nan's speed was extremely fast. He laughed heartily: "Although this method of the First Generation Vermilion Bird is a bit shameless, I like it. When I have a Physical Body, I will teach this method to Wang Lin. Then, the two of us will devour together. However, with Wang Lin's current cultivation, I'm afraid he can't handle it!"

"I must kill you!!!" A violent roar followed closely behind Situ Nan, as if heartbroken.

The hatred revealed in this roar was beyond description.

Wang Lin had long since heard the roar coming from ahead. He immediately put away the Mosquito Beast, did not wait for Situ Nan in the original spot, and flashed away to the side.

Situ Nan's Divine Sense swept out, immediately found Wang Lin, teleported over, appeared beside Wang Lin, and said rapidly: "You are too slow. I will take you with me. There is a mad dog chasing from behind. When I have a Physical Body and digest the power of this ancestral spirit, I will definitely boil this mad dog little brat!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Lin and sped away.

Situ Nan's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he carried Wang Lin out of the Vermilion Bird Continent, heading straight for the Little Northern Extreme Land.

The Fourth Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Race was now determined, chasing crazily without stopping for a moment.

While Situ Nan was fleeing, he felt no fear at all. Instead, he occasionally looked back and slowed down to wait for the Fourth Ancestor to arrive.

"I swallowed the ancestral spirit of his Immortal Remnant Race. After I combine it with a Physical Body, I will swallow this mad dog little brat, which will reduce my recovery time by more than half! It benefits me and destroys a Spell Caster equivalent to the Soul Transformation stage for the Immortal Remnant Race. It counts as living up to the First Generation Vermilion Bird!" Situ Nan laughed heartily.
