Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Ancient Demon Tree

Translator: jinzeffect

There were too many demons. When ten thousand demons were gathered, even a formidable Battle Spirit Realm master wouldn’t be able to kill all of them within a short period of time.

It was fortunate that there were only a few hundred class 5 demons. If there were ten thousand class 5 demons, no one would be a match for them unless a Primary Sea Realm monarch was here.

“Purple Cloud Palm!”

A massive purple palm rushed out and slammed dozens of demons to death.

The one executing the palm art was the leader of the Purple Cloud Temple’s outer sect disciples. The youth with the withered yellow hair.

Purple Cloud Palm was one of the earth class peak-tier martial arts from the Purple Cloud Temple. It was also the Purple Cloud Temple’s signature martial art. It was famous for being easy to learn and easy to comprehend. If this youth was able to learn the Purple Cloud Palm, his strength must be stronger than regular outer sect disciples.

“Yellow Wind Saber!”

The leader of the outer sect disciples from the Yellow Wind Valley was wielding a large saber. With a swing of the saber, the saber wind revolved and killed dozens of demons.

It was a pity that no matter how many the duo killed, they wouldn’t be able to kill so many demons. When the demons’ attacks landed on them, they would suffer injuries and their qi would be drastically depleted. At most 15 minutes, the duo would be either severely injured or dead or experience qi exhaustion.

“The qi consumption rate is rather serious.”

In just a short period of time, Li Fuchen had already killed a thousand demons.

Due to his tough defenses and exceptional awareness, he was able to dodge majority of the attacks, thus, his qi consumption wasn’t a lot.

But once this battle dragged on, the qi consumption would be significant. The spirit stones might be able to replenish the qi, but time was needed to refine the spirit stone’s qi. It wasn’t going to be refined instantly.

“Sect Origin Swords.”

After some considerations, Li Fuchen immediately executed the Sect Origin Swords and stacked it with the Bronze Sword Essence.

Buzz Buzz!

Ten thousand Sect Origin Bronze Swords appeared. With Li Fuchen at the core, they started to kill in all directions.

In just a few breaths, a few thousand demons were slaughtered.

The killing speed was so fast that Zhuang Sheng and the others were all flabbergasted.

“Such an incredible 6-star secret technique?” The yellow-haired youth mumbled.

There was a massive variety of 6-star secret techniques. The Sect Origin Swords was undoubtedly a group attack secret technique. Furthermore, it must be a superior 6-star secret technique, otherwise, a normal 6-star group attack secret technique wouldn’t be this powerful.

How would the yellow-haired youth know that Li Fuchen’s Sect Origin Swords was only a 5-star secret technique? It was so powerful because it was stacked together with the Bronze Sword Essence, allowing this secret technique’s power to exceed the 6-star grade. It was already close to a 7-star secret technique.

If Li Fuchen went all-out and burst out with 100,000 Sect Origin Bronze Swords, it would be enough to kill all the demons in a single breath.

“Let’s kill the rest slowly.”

Each of Li Fuchen’s Sect Origin Bronze Swords would be able to kill a large group of class 4 demons. But in order to deal with class 5 demons, a few hundred to a thousand sword qi would be required.

When 10,000 Sect Origin Bronze Swords were exhausted, only half the demons were left.

Li Fuchen didn’t want to catch too much attention and started to kill the demons, sword by sword.

Ultimately, the demons were defeated and started to flee.

“I am the Purple Cloud Temple’s outer sect disciple, Yan Jingkong.”

“I am the Yellow Wind Valley’s outer sect disciple, Luo Feng.”

“Many thanks for saving our lives.”

The leaders of the Purple Cloud Temple and Yellow Wind Valley’s outer sect disciples came over and bowed with cupped fists.

Li Fuchen said, “There is no need to thank me. I am just doing it along the way.”

To others, the demon disaster might be a disaster, but to Li Fuchen, it was just a slight trouble.

With his strength, as long as there weren’t any class 6 demons, he wouldn’t face any threat.

“Senior, we escaped from the third ring. There is an Ancient Demon Tree there with Ancient Demon Fruits that are already ripe. We were pursued by demons because we were plucking the Ancient Demon Fruits. It is fortunate that Senior rescued us, otherwise, we will probably be wiped out.” Yan Jingkong spoke with lingering fear.

“Ancient Demon Tree?” Zhuang Sheng was astonished.

The Ancient Demon Tree was exclusive to the Demon Ring Continent. The Ancient Demon Fruits produced were earth class high-tier fruits and each fruit was 150 contribution points.

But the plucking of the Ancient Demon Fruit wasn’t an easy task. Putting aside the massive quantity of demons protecting the Ancient Demon Tree, the tree itself possessed horrific combat strength. Due to its massive size, there were countless branches. Even a Battle Spirit Realm master would be able to contest the Ancient Demon Tree.

Furthermore, the Ancient Demon Tree could move. It might be here this time, but it would change to another place next time. Thus, incredible luck was needed to encounter an Ancient Demon Tree.

“Ancient Demon Tree huh? Thanks for the information.” Li Fuchen was tempted.

He might not think it was worth it for 100 or 200 contribution points, but 1000 contribution points were enough to tempt them.

“Senior, we have also escaped from the third ring. There is a small pool there and there is an earth class peak-tier herb within the pool. It is the Seven Stars Earth Demon Herb and it looks like it will need a few more days before maturing. When we discovered it, a large group of demons pursued us. There is also another group of demons defending the place and there is a white demon that is extremely formidable. A single fist from the demon had killed three of my juniors. If we didn’t escape fast enough and if the white demon was willing to leave the small pool, we wouldn’t have been able to escape from that place.”

Luo Feng spoke with an agonized expression.

“Will the two of you be leaving now or grouping up with us?” After finding out about the general direction, Li Fuchen asked.

Yan Jingkong shook his head, “Our losses are too severe. We are preparing to leave the Demon Ring Continent.”

“So are we.” Luo Feng followed up.

“Okay, I wish that you will have a smooth journey.”

Li Fuchen watched as the outer sect disciples from the two factions left.

“Senior Li, are you sure you want to visit those two places?” Guo Wenwu was rather tempted but also apprehensive.

Those two places were dangerous and a single careless mistake might result in death.

“I am definitely going to the two places. What are your thoughts?” Li Fuchen asked.

Zhuang Sheng said, “The Ancient Demon Tree’s combat strength is powerful but if we are just at the border, it shouldn’t be that dangerous. It is fine to take a look.”

“Senior Zhuang is correct.” Yun Wei and Lu Qinghua were eager to take a look.

The Ancient Demon Fruits were too tempting. A single fruit was worth 150 contribution points and if they were able to obtain a few, it would be a few hundred contribution points.

Since the trio had decided to go, Guo Wenwu naturally had to follow. Of course, he was tempted too.

Traveling in the direction where Yan Jingkong pointed, they used three days and finally found the Ancient Demon Tree.

The Ancient Demon Tree was a thousand meters in height and it was blocking the sun. It was different from the strange trees on the Demon Ring Continent, the Ancient Demon Tree wouldn’t emit black smoke. In between the cluttered branches, there were black fruits that were glistening with dark glow and emitting extremely pure demon qi.

When the five got within the 1000 meter radius of the Ancient Demon Tree, it launched its attacks. The branches suddenly extended and lashed at the five of them like whips.

Bang!

Facing more than ten branches, Zhuang Sheng and the others were sent flying.

“No wonder even Battle Spirit Realm masters are unable to contest the Ancient Demon Tree. Each branch’s offensive power is comparable to a class 5 demon. If one goes deep within the attack range, one would need to face thousands to ten thousand branches. Even a Battle Spirit Realm master would be tortured to death.”

After seeing the Ancient Demon Tree’s attack power, Li Fuchen executed the Divine Flame Transformation and approached the Ancient Demon Tree as a flame light.

During the approach, dozens of branches lashed over but Li Fuchen dodged them all.

Seemingly sensing that Li Fuchen was harder to deal with, the other branches that were attacking Zhuang Sheng and the others were withdrawn. All the dozens of branches coordinated and formed a net to obstruct Li Fuchen’s advance.

“Ten Incineration.”

Li Fuchen brandished his sword and released layers of sword light that split the net of branches.

Crackle!

In the verdant and lush leaves, the black Ancient Demon Fruit that was the size of a human head had fallen into Li Fuchen’s hand.
