Hearing Huang Tian’s words, Bai Qi became serious. Even though she often bullied Huang Tian and Hei Tian, she was convinced of their talents.
A demonic aura that could make the two little guys feel danger was definitely not simple!
Jiang Changsheng remained silent and waited patiently.
Not long after, Qing’er came with a man and a woman. They were the disheveled man and the woman in black from the Demon-Slaying Heroes.
When the two of them saw the three demon beasts in the courtyard, they frowned and looked at Jiang Changsheng.
The Ultimate Yang Divine Light did not burst out with a strong light. Instead, it floated behind Jiang Changsheng like a small sun. The two of them walked to Jiang Changsheng and cupped their fists. “I am Cheng Meng. Greetings, Dao Ancestor.”
“I am Cheng Linlin. Greetings, Dao Ancestor.”
Jiang Changsheng sized them up. Cheng Meng was in the Four Grotto-heaven realm while Cheng Linlin was in the Two Grotto-heaven realm. No wonder they could escape from the Destruction Tree that was worth six million incense points.
Huang Tian and Hei Tian still stared at the two of them with fear. They bared their teeth and growled, as if they would pounce on them at any time.
After Qing’er left, Jiang Changsheng asked, “May I know why the two of you are looking for me?”
Cheng Meng took a deep breath and said, “Dao Ancestor, please come with us to eliminate demons and destroy the World Destruction Tree. The World Destruction Tree is a demon that is rarely seen in a thousand years. It can rapidly become stronger by absorbing the flesh and blood of humans, demons, and beasts. If it is allowed to continue growing, the humans in the ocean will face a calamity.”
So this was how the World Destruction Tree became stronger.
Jiang Changsheng calculated the strength of the World Destruction Tree in his heart.
It had already reached 6.5 million incense points, and the speed of its increase was almost comparable to the increase of his strength.
When Jiang Changsheng did not answer, Cheng Meng began to talk about the process of discovering the World Destruction Tree with his entourage and the battle that followed.
A terrifying tree with a trunk that was more than two thousand feet thick was
immeasurably tall. Just the vines alone could suck dry the flesh and blood of a
Grotto-heaven realm expert in a few breaths. That image terrified Bai Qi and
the two cat demons.
After Cheng Meng finished speaking of this sad matter, he took a deep breath and said, “Before I left, I discovered two demon beasts on the tree. Both of them had a half human body. They were hiding on the World Destruction Tree, so they should have been born not long ago. I suspect that the World
Destruction Tree was specially guarding them because the World Destruction Tree would also hunt demon beasts, but it would tolerate them climbing the tree. When I first entered the island, I also discovered that their eggshells contained incomparably terrifying demonic aura.”
He took out the eggshell from his sleeve. The moment the eggshell appeared, Huang Tian and Hei Tian jumped back in fright. So it was this thing that made them so irritable.
Half human body?
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. It was very difficult for demon beasts in the martial arts world to transform. They would either transform into a human body like that demon in the dragon verin or use illusions like Bai Qi.
He thought of another person.
Lin Haotian possessed the bloodline of the demon race. Could it be that his ancestor was a transformed demon beast?
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and took the eggshell into his hand. He probed it with his spiritual will.
It contained a very profound demonic aura. In terms of strength, it was inferior to Bai Qi. However, this demonic aura was special and was clearly nobler than ordinary demonic aura.
Cheng Meng took a deep breath and said, “Dao Ancestor, right now, the demons are continuously attacking the defense line of the Sacred Dynasty. An unprecedented calamity is about to descend. If we don’t eradicate the World Destruction Tree, it will gather the demons in the ocean and cooperate with them. The consequences of this happening will be unimaginable.”
Bai Qi could not help but ask, “According to what you said, the World Destruction Tree is so powerful that you need to find our master. But why don’t you find someone else?”
Cheng Linlin, who had been silent all this time, could not help but say, “It is not like we haven’t tried. The Sovereign Dynasties only care about fighting for supremacy and do not want to lose their strong martial artists. With no choice, we can only find the Dao Ancestor.”
She turned to look at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Dao Ancestor, do you agree or not? Can you be more straightforward? We can’t afford to delay. If you are unwilling, we can immediately rush to the next force.”
Cheng Meng frowned. Even though he felt that Cheng Linlin was being rude, the situation was urgent and they could not delay.
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, “Who entrusted the Demon-Slaying Heroes to slay demons?”
Seeing that he did not immediately refuse, Cheng Meng’s heart ignited with a trace of hope. He answered, “My master is the state teacher of the Sacred Dynasty and has traveled around the world. Four hundred years ago, he prophesied that the demon race would give birth to a supreme being and ordered us to clean up the demon beasts in the ocean after we mastered our martial arts. He did not allow the demon race to become powerful and wait for the Martial Emperor to be born.”
The state teacher of the Sacred Dynasty?
Jiang Changsheng immediately calculated how powerful he was.
“The other party is not within the known range of the system and cannot be calculated. ”
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of the Sacred Dynasty that Cheng Meng had mentioned before and asked, “What is the defense line of the Sacred Dynasty?”
Cheng Meng answered, “It is formed by the luck of the Sacred Dynasty. It can isolate heaven and earth with great luck, preventing all races in the world from crossing the border of the Sacred Dynasty and endangering the human race. We are located behind the defense line of the Sacred Dynasty. However, now that all beasts in the world can become demons, the rise of demons cannot be stopped.’
Towards the end, his tone was helpless.
Jiang Changsheng came to a sudden realization.
It turned out that it was not because the world was too big, but because the Sacred Dynasty’s defense line had hindered the system’s investigation. Of course, the main reason was that he was not strong enough. If he was strong enough, the luck of the Sacred Dynasty would not have been able to stop the system’s calculations.
Since the system could not calculate it yet, it meant that the Sacred Dynasty had yet to collapse and that the defense line was still there.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I see. I will take action.”
He had been found. Karma had been formed. If he were to take action now, he should be provided with survival rewards.
Hearing this, Cheng Meng and Cheng Linlin were pleasantly surprised and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
“We are willing to follow you, Dao Ancestor, to slay demons,” Cheng Linlin said, her eyes filled with hatred.
The World Destruction Tree had killed too many of their brothers and sisters. This grudge was absolutely irreconcilable!
He admired Cheng Meng and Cheng Linlin. Most of the martial artists in the world worked hard for themselves, and there were very few who were truly righteous. The Demon-Slaying Heroes traveled the world, slaying demons and devils. They would also help the weak, making them worthy of the word ‘chivalrous’. However, he did not need anyone’s help.
Cheng Linlin was about to continue speaking when she was stopped by Cheng Meng.
Cheng Meng asked, “When will you take action?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “I will not let it harm the human race any further.” In other words, he would do it as soon as possible.
Cheng Meng breathed a sigh of relief and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
He gritted his teeth and took off the broadsword on his back. “This sword is…”
“There’s no need. If I accept your items, the nature of this matter will change.
Just leave this eggshell to me.”
Jiang Changsheng waved the eggshell in his hand. When they heard that, Cheng Meng and Cheng Linlin looked at him in admiration.
After a few polite words, the two of them bowed and left.
Jiang Changsheng divided the eggshell into three parts and threw it to the three demons. “Eat it. It’s good for you.”
This eggshell contained abundant spiritual energy and nutrients. For demon beasts, it was definitely a great supplement.
Then, he ignored Bai Qi and the two cat demons and looked to the west to search for the World Destruction Tree.
The World Destruction Tree was currently gathering a large number of demon beasts. As long as he could discover a gathering of demon beasts, it would be easy to find traces of the World Destruction Tree in that direction.
On the other side.
Cheng Meng and Cheng Linlin descended the mountain.
Cheng Linlin sighed and said, “Brother, if the Dao Ancestor can really destroy the World Destruction Tree, then I really admire him. He is indeed a hero. When those people heard our request, they were either scared to death or raised the price on the spot. How detestable. It’s as if they don’t belong to the human race.”
Cheng Meng calmly said, “The dynasties in the ocean are far away from the Sacred Dynasty. They don’t know what the human race is facing right now. They only see opportunities for their own rise. It’s human nature. In this aspect, the human race is indeed inferior to the demon race.”
Cheng Linlin was silent.
The siblings flew into the distance.
Their mission continued, and the World Destruction Tree was not their ultimate goal.
Several days later.
Jiang Changsheng’s Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth finally captured the island where the World Destruction Tree was located.
The fog was thick, and countless demon beasts had gathered around the island, covering a radius of ten thousand miles. The number had reached an unimaginable level.
His gaze pierced through the fog and landed on the island. The moment he saw the World Destruction Tree, he was stunned.
What a huge tree!
This was even more spectacular than what Cheng Meng and Cheng Linlin described!
As expected of someone with a net worth comparable to an Eigh Grotto-heaven realm expert!
Jiang Changsheng’s gaze continued to move forward and entered the leaves of the World Destruction Tree to search for the two mysterious demon beasts that
Cheng Meng mentioned.
Soon, he discovered two Nagas, both of whom looked like younglings.
For some reason, Jiang Changsheng thought of Nuwa and Fuxi from the legends of his previous life.
Nagas were a magical legendary creature.
The world in his previous life was the same as the martial arts world. There were myths and legends. In his previous life, they were interpreted by science, but in this life, they were interpreted by martial arts. Take the world in his previous life as an example. Nagas had left myths and legends everywhere on Earth. Even though the cultures were different, Nagas had an extremely high status in the myths and legends of various countries. If myths were just imaginations, how could they be so unified?
Perhaps there were really Nagas on Earth who walked around every corner of Earth and were regarded as gods because they were too powerful.
There were also records of Nagas in the legends of Great Jing. There were even legends of Nagas creating the world.
Jiang Changsheng carefully observed the two little guys.
The female Naga clearly was the one who took the initiative. It could be inferred from the male Naga specially picking a large number of fruits for her and sitting on one side, quietly watching her eat.
Moreover, a vine had stretched out from the World Destruction Tree so that the female Naga could lean on it comfortably.
Jiang Changsheng decided to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas to accept them.
At present, no human martial artists dared to set foot in this area. At most, they would observe at the edge of the beast swarm.
This time, Jiang Changsheng was prepared to personally go and take the risk.
Other than the survival rewards, he also wanted to increase the number of pages in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
In the mysterious cave, Lin Haotian was currently meditating in front of three stone statues.
Black and white qi surrounded him, as if following some pattern. When the two qi blended together, it seemed mysterious.
The Sky Thunder Eagle flew in from outside the cave. Its claws grabbed a sea fish that had been charred by lightning and placed it by Lin Haotian’s side.
Lin Haotian opened his eyes and let out a shaky breath. He muttered, “What a domineering Immortal Reincarnation Scripture. There’s actually such a martial art technique in this world. No wonder a Martial Emperor could suppress the
entire martial arts world.”
He picked up the fish and began to eat.
Rumble—
The entire island suddenly trembled, startling Lin Haotian so much that he stood up. The Sky Thunder Eagle was also nervous. They quickly ran out of the cave and found that the water level in the distance was lowering.
No, an island was rising!
