Wu Yue was almost crushed into minced meat, flesh was all over the walls, but the flesh started squirming, creeping towards the same spot as Wu Yue was still alive and he attempted to recover his body.
At the same time, Monarch Wu Bamboos Slips scattered around flew into the air and the countless blades rained down on Zhong Yue!
Wu Yue was after all, a peak Imperial Emperor and that made her more than just powerful; even after she got crushed by the thousand winged ancient ship, she was still able to launch a retaliation attack towards Zhong Yue!
Meanwhile, when her flesh was about to come back together, Jin Hexiâs second Yuan Shen leaped into the air, hurling punches into the flesh and the walls trembled before her might!
Her second Yuan Shen was forged from Feng Tianâs phoenix feather, which rivalled a peak Imperial Emperor. With the punches, Wu Yue was once again crushed and heavenly fire started burning him, igniting all her flesh.
âHeavenly Fire Barren Regionâs heavenly fire?â
Wu Yueâs Yuan Shen squeaked from the scattered flesh before pieces of Yuan Shen flew out from the flesh, trying to flee, but with a swing, Hundun Yu slammed his Fusang Divine Tree down, reducing the Yuan Shen pieces into smithereens!
And just like that, a peak Imperial Emperor was gone!
From Zhong Yueâs ramming into Wu Yue until Wu Yueâs death, it only took a breathâs time for a peak Imperial Emperor to be wiped away from existence!
âHow dare you!â
Standing closest to Wu Yue was a demon monarch spirit who responded almost in an instant, without any more words, he reached his hands out towards Zhong Yue and his companions, only to find a gate descending upon him from above. The sudden appearance of the gate gave no window for the demon monarch spirit to react, and when his hands reached the gate, his strength was weakened by the Create Evolve Mystic Gate.
Hong hong hongâ-
From Create Evolve Mystic Gate came rumbles, as the demon monarch spiritâs hands past through the countless worlds within the Create Evolve Mystic Gate, came barging out behind the gate and continuing to reach towards the ancient ship.
Though weakened by the many layers of worlds in Create Evolve Mystic Gate, this demon monarch spiritâs strength was still far beyond powerful!
At the front deck, Zhong Yue reacted right away, with a turn and a swing, the demon monarch spiritâs hands that extended out from the Create Evolve Mystic Gate were entirely severed.
In the next second, the thousand winged ancient ship flew away, disappearing in the thin air, leaving the severed arm demon monarch spirit roaring furiously and his body falling backwards towards the Valley of Tang Divine City. His massive size rendered the many Jin Wu unable to escape in time as they all suffered a tragic death.
Before this demon monarch spirit could get up, however, his expression changed upon seeing the massive Fusang Divine Tree in the Jinwu Clan slamming towards him, shrouded in raging heavenly fire!
Shuaâ-
The divine treeâs branch struck first. It whipped his body, causing the demon monarch spirit to wail in pain. He then rose quickly from the raging chaotic heavenly fire and escaped into the Void World.
In the skies, dimensions were ripped apart by the demon monarch spirit and he also tore the Void Realm apart, letting the alluring light from the realm to slip past through the hole, as if it were a bridge that led to the opposite world.
The demon monarch spirit sprinted on the light bridge leading to the Void Realm while the fire remained burning in him as he fled. When he finally arrived at the entrance to the Void Realm, the last bit of him was consumed by the fire and he was burnt into streams of chaos Qi!
Zhong Yue, too, was in intense shock. The Fusang Divine Tree was indeed one of the nine spirit roots, its strength was so overwhelming that it burnt a demon monarch spirit into ash with just a strike!
However, he couldnât be bothered and he started fleeing right away; just as the thousand winged ancient ship vanished, its original position was flooded by the might of one after another powerful weapons as Yang Yuzun and Chen Gongzheng attacked!
Deep in the dimensions, even more demon monarch spiritsâ arms reached into the dimensions before these massive spirits squeezed out from the void and charged towards the thousand winged ancient ship, but not before the monarch weapons were swung towards the ship!
With all his might, Zhong Yue pushed the shipâs speed to the peak while the four demon monarch spirits gave chase. All of a sudden, light erupted from the front as a majesty divine tree breached out of the dimensions. Each of the dimensions had this tree standing firmly in the chaos.
Seeing these trees, the four demon monarch spirits halted right away while Zhong Yueâs clothes fluttered despite the absence of wind. His body ballooned in size as he turned into a giant whose upper body was human and lower body was serpent. With a grab, he held Hundun Yuâs Fusang Divine Treeâs branch in his palms and he hurled it into the air.
Instantly, the tree branch started flying towards the ancient spirit root under some kind of unseen power!
At the same time, the many Jinwu Clanâs elders and members knelt and bowed towards the spirit root!
With his serpent tail slithering quickly, Zhong Yue moved towards the spirit root and the Fuxi Celestial Raceâs bloodline started igniting, allowing him to resonate with this Fusang Divine Tree!
Yes⦠you feel it too, donât you? The Great Suiâs bloodline flowing through my veins!
He circled around the tree, climbed onto it, diving in and out of the thick leaves and he murmured, âGreat Sui planted you here and it has been more than 2,000,000 years since you last move, your master is gone and you are the only one leftâ¦..â
âCan you feel the raging Great Sui bloodline in meâ¦.â
âThe amazing era of Fire Order Era is calling for you, are the battlecries of that era still echoing in your heartâ¦.â
âGreat Sui and you, the battles that you all fought so hard to suppress the darkness, do you still remember? Have you forgotten the singings of Great Sui?â
The treeâs branches started waving under his words, as if it was moved by the callings again.
Ancient Dao language sounded, like the singings of the ancient people, echoing deep from the dimensions; it was the praisings and singings that went mute for million years, it was the song for the glorious era.
In Zhong Yueâs forehead, the dragon headed and serpent bodied fire spirits revealed themselves, surrounded this ancient spirit root as they started singing deeply, synchronizing with the ancient beingsâ humming.
âThe great age of Fire Order, where stars blinked brightly in the sky!â
âThe great days of Fire Order, where fire sparks and enlightened law and order!â
âThe great epoch of Fire Order, where justice and fairness repletes the universe!â
âThe great years of Fire Order, where light lead us through darkness!â
âThe great era of Fire Order, where we embraced the greatest Sui Sovereigns!â
Fire started sparkling and in the blink of an eye, the Fusang Divine Tree turned into a blazing tree, a divine tree shrouded by the chaos fire that burned everything, lighting up the Valley of Tang, emitting bright light that seemingly chased the darkness in the ancient universe away!
With a serious expression, Zhong Yue stood at the top of the tree. His presence merged with the Fusang Divine Tree, becoming one with it. Here was the place where the Great Sui and Great Si Ming met, the place where Great Sui created the totem pattern cultivation system and the place where he erased the Dark Age!
Now at this exact location stood Zhong Yue, surrounded by chaos fire while underneath was the living beings that worshipped this tree, making him feel like he had turned the the era of darkness, where Great Sui lit up the universe.
âFu Mu, do you still remember those times?â
Zhong Yueâs voice intensified, rumbling through the dimensions and ancient yet enormous power erupted from the tree right away!
The word Fu in Fu Muâs name was the origin of Fuxiâs Fu, Fu Mu was Fusang Tree, Xi was sunlight, this spirit root was Fuxi Celestial Raceâs ancestral tree!
Xin Huo stuttered and he murmured, âGreat Suiâ¦.â
âFu Mu! Lend me your strength!â
Zhong Yue roared and Fusang Treeâs divine energy burst out, standing tall in the ancient universe and endless sun emerged from the raging chaos fire, dancing around the tree.
Seeing this, the four demon monarch spiritsâ expression stiffened up and they shrieked, âBack! Fall back!â
But it was already too late.
With a simple point, the raging chaos fire and the suns swarmed the demon monarch spirits; the branches of the Fusang Tree were like dragons and the leaves on them seemed like continents, unleashing the ruthless strength and displaying the powerful form of the Fire Order Era perfectly!
Hong longâ-
Suns flew out from the Valley of Tangâs sacred ground, crashed into the demon raceâs camps and the fire swallowed them all. The demon gods struggled in the fire ocean but to no avail; they were quickly devoured, the camps became engulfed by the fire and everything got burned into dust!
Even the six demon monarch spirits were ignited, the four demon monarch spirits wailed and shrieked as they charged towards the Void World as quickly as they could.
Heavens, Secular Worlds, everything, was burnt into ash. The siege weapons collapsed in the fire and the fire pillars came charging out from the Valley of Tang Divine City, swallowing everything in their path. He Xi, Chen Gongzheng and the other peak demon Imperial Emperors too, lasted no more than seconds in the fire, not even their Yuan Shen survived!
With their strength combined, the four demon monarch spirits charged into the Void Realm, but at that very second their feet entered the realm, they were burnt into ash. Just like that, four more monarch spirits were wiped out of existence in this universe!
Of all those present, only Yang Yuzun managed to get out alive, as one who specialized in fire cultivation, he possessed the strongest resistance against the chaos fire. And with everything he had, he escaped.
Some time later, the raging fire, branches and leaves calmed down, returning back to the tree and Fusang Divine Treeâs presence slowly faded and returned to normal. At the same time, Zhong Yueâs presence deteriorated rapidly, he felt weak in his knees all of a sudden and he fell from the top of the tree.
Jin Hexi, on the other side, flew up from the ancient ship and held onto her husband, aiding him in touching the ground safely.
The many Jinwu Clanâs elders approached them quickly, each looking at Zhong Yue in surprise and outside of Valley of Tang Divine City, the battlefield was already cleared. Everything was burnt into ash, the countless invaders were no more and all that was left were just fire sparkles and some bones.
A moment later, after his body recovered, Zhong Yue struggled to get up and he bowed at the elders.
âMaster, how did you manage to activate the Fusang Tree?â
An elder mustered his courage and asked, âThis treeâ¦. Not even the celestial monarch is able to fully activate it, even with the entire clanâs prayers, we could only utilize about 10-20 percent of its strength.â
The other elders and the current Jinwu Clanâs clan master were also curious about this. When they prayed towards the tree, they were obviously hoping to utilize its power to fend off the enemies, theyâd never hoped to wipe them out in one shot!
With a smile, Zhong Yue looked towards the tree and calmly explained, âThis tree, its an innate spirit root passed down by my ancestors, of course I can activate it.â
