That guy Yin Changsheng, without a word, actually tried to steal the Fusang ancient tree in the chaos.
It turned out that when Long Chen appeared and Jiuyou Luosha, Shi Yang, and Ji Wuming made their move, Yin Changsheng commanded the disciples of the Sacred Pill Hall to cooperate with the demon clan experts in attacking Yue Xiaoqian.
In fact, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with Long Chen and the others. He wanted to first collect this ancient Fusang tree, intending to cultivate it as his life-bound tree.
The ancient Fusang Mummy is the prototype of the sun's fire, the source of the Golden Crow clan's survival. By nurturing it, Yin Changsheng essentially has an endless source of fire.
Although the flames attached to the Fusang ancient tree were merely the initial form of the Sunfire, not its ultimate form, and its power was limited, even at the very initial stage, it was stronger than any heavenly fire outside the top ten of the Heavenly Fire Ranking.
The flames in the top ten on the Heavenly Fire List are supreme among fires; each type of flame represents a kind of Heavenly Dao, an ultimate in the Heavenly Dao.
So when Yin Changsheng saw this ancient Fusang tree still in its seedling stage, his eyes instantly reddened—this was something he was destined to have.
Taking advantage of the fierce battle, he sent people to disrupt Long Chen and the others' line of sight, while secretly beginning to cut the earth himself to collect the ground beneath the tree roots.
But the underground root system of the Fusang ancient tree is far extensive, far larger than the branches above, and he simply can't dig all the way down.
Soon, he grew impatient. After cutting through the surrounding soil, he began trying to pull the ancient Fusang tree out of the soil.
As a result, with all his might, the ancient Fusang tree only trembled violently and did not uproot it completely. This move immediately caught Long Chen's attention.
This Fusang Ancient Wood was also something Long Chen must obtain. With the Taiyin Wood in hand, if he could store it into the Chaos World, then he would have both the Taiyin and Solar Fires, and there was absolutely no way Yin Changsheng would take them.
"Rise!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, grabbing the Fusang ancient tree trunk and lifting it upward with all his might. At this moment, Yin Changsheng was frantically pushing the Fusang ancient tree. One pushed, the other lifted, using their combined strength.
"Rumble rumble rumble... Heaven
and earth roared, mud and sand flew everywhere, golden sand painting the entire world golden, and the ancient Fusang tree was finally uprooted.
The moment the ancient Fusang tree was uprooted, divine light erupted from below, stirring up boundless waves of energy, while endless energy surged forth, continuously washing over the world.
Long Chen and Yin Changsheng didn't bother to observe the underground situation. They fiercely competed—one pulling the tree crown, the other the root—determined to bring the ancient Fusang tree into their own world.
"Rumble rumble rumble... The
two pulled at the massive Fusang ancient tree like two ants competing, but under their tug, the massive Fusang tree roared and exploded, and cracks appeared on its trunk.
"Roar!"
A furious roar rang out as a flaming qilin appeared behind Yin Changsheng. This flaming qilin had also entered the Immortal King realm, its entire body covered in flowing runes, shaking the heavens and earth, its pressure a hundred times stronger than before.
With a roar, it shattered the endless runes of the Great Dao in the void. It stepped on the void and charged straight at Long Chen.
"Huo Ling'er, chop it down for me."
Long Chen snorted coldly. As he spoke, Huo Ling'er wielded the True Fire Sword and charged at the Flame Qilin like a bolt of lightning. Without a word, she slashed down with one sword.
With a loud explosion, the Flame Qilin was struck by Huo Ling'er's sword, sending it tumbling. One was a Flame Divine Beast, the other a Flame Spirit—both masters of flames. As they clashed, the metal flames danced, and the world was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Roar!"
The Flame Qilin caught the Flame Qilin off guard and was knocked down by Huo Ling'er's sword. Though unharmed, it was instead unleashed with overwhelming killing intent. It howled toward the sky, its fur ignited, murderous intent soaring to the sky.
"What are you yelling about? Today I'll kill you and eat your meat."
Huo Ling'er snorted coldly, shook her true fire sword, and charged straight at the Flame Qilin. But when she reached the flame qilin, she suddenly sheathed it, wielding an ice spike in her left hand, and thrust it straight at the flame qilin.
"Boom!"
The flame qilin was struck by the ice filled with the power of ice soul, suffering a major loss. The flames around it were sealed and instantly frozen solid.
"Blazing Flame Slash" At
this moment, Huo Ling'er's true fire sword in her right hand traced a strange arc and struck fiercely at the Flame Qilin's head.
"Pfft!"
The moment the ice shattered, the True Fire Sword slashed open a large gash on the Flame Qilin's head, and blood gushed out like magma. The Flame Qilin howled in pain.
Although the Flame Qilin was Yin Changsheng's contracted divine beast, nourished by the faith power of the Sacred Pill Hall for a long time, and Yin Changsheng invested countless resources in it to raise it to such a powerful state,
In terms of true strength alone, the Flame Qilin is no weaker than Huo Ling'er. It possesses many terrifying divine abilities, but most of these can only be activated when combined with Yin Changsheng.
However, now Yin Changsheng was fighting Long Chen for the Fusang Ancient Tree, and the Flame Qilin could only fight alone. Unfortunately, although it was strong, its intelligence was limited, and it was worlds apart from Huo Ling'er.
Under Huo Ling'er's attack, it didn't even have a chance to unleash its ultimate before Huo Ling'er broke its head, blood gushing profusely.
"Qilin blood, this is a great thing, it's super nourishing!"
When she saw the qilin's blood, Huo Ling'er's big eyes filled with fanaticism. She charged straight at the flame qilin, riding its big head, biting into its wound and frantically sucking its essence blood.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The Flame Qilin was shocked, furious, and terrified, roaring madly to throw Huo Ling'er off its body, but Huo Ling'er clung tightly to its head like a dog's skin plaster, refusing to come down.
The Flame Qilin's essence blood was entirely flame essence. As Yin Changsheng's contracted divine beast, he had invested almost all his savings on it.
Just the top hundred on the Heavenly Fire Ranking alone had been fed countless heavenly fires, and countless fire-attribute heavenly treasures, divine ores, divine materials, and treasures used to assist cultivation were also spent on countless more.
Because of this, the actual combat power of the Flame Qilin had reached a terrifying level, and the essence within its body had condensed to an abnormal degree.
Huo Ling'er bit into the Flame Qilin's head, her essence blood entering her stomach. She immediately felt her whole body relaxed, floating on the edge of the world, as endless energy poured into her body. She sensed her body rapidly growing stronger—a sensation that was both exciting and maddening.
"Use the golden light to shield you and knock her away."
Watching the Flame Qilin suffer a heavy loss and only know how to roar and howl, Yin Changsheng shouted loudly while seizing the Fusang Ancient Tree with all his might.
But at this moment, the Flame Qilin was completely terrified, frantically shaking its head, having long forgotten how to activate the golden light shield. Its essence blood was being frantically absorbed by Huo Ling'er, and its aura was rapidly weakening.
"Boom!"
< B1105> Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted. The ancient Fusang tree could no longer withstand the pull between the two and snapped with a crash. Long Chen took the upper half, while Yin Changsheng took the lower half.
Yin Changsheng's face darkened. This was not what he wanted. The Fusang ancient tree with only its roots remained uncertain whether it could survive. Even if it could barely survive, he would probably have to spend countless resources just to restore it.
"Long Chen, today you are doomed to die." Yin Changsheng roared toward the sky. In that instant, a milky white aura erupted around him like an ocean. In his rage, he unleashed all his faith power in an instant.
