Chapter 526 Arrival
Chapter 526 Arrival
The mortals in the Soul Refining Tower were tired and hungry. Pei Yun and the other two no longer needed to eat to maintain their physical strength, but these mortals could not do that. Now they were all lying on the ground, dizzy with hunger. Even if the tree demon didn't kill them, they would starve to death here.
Seeing this, Pei Yun took out the medicinal materials and alchemy furnace from the space and refined the Qigong Pill on the spot. The Qigong Pill was only a ninth-grade elixir and was not difficult to refine. However, there were more than 10,000 people here, and she did not have enough materials to give each person one pill.
Pei Yun thought for a moment and said, "Put the fasting pills I made in the spiritual spring water and let them drink it..."
Luo Rufeng nodded, and the two worked in perfect harmony. As soon as she finished refining a furnace, she would immediately pour it into bowls of spiritual spring water and give it to the mortals in line. He had also stated that women, the elderly, and children should eat it first.
A few days later, Pei Yun became increasingly anxious. They had seen the souls of many dead cultivators being sucked into the tree demon's roots...
"Actually... we can join forces with the monks who entered the tower to deal with the tree monster..." Pei Yun frowned.
Luo Rufeng shook his head and transmitted his voice, "These cultivators who came here are all after the so-called 'Immortal Soul Fruit'. Even if some cultivators join us in protecting mortals, as long as one cultivator develops greed, they might go out and report it to the higher-ups of the Xianxia Sect. Right now, the tree demons don't take us seriously and are in no hurry to deal with us. The people of the Xianxia Sect are also unaware of the situation in the Soul Refining Tower. This is already the best situation. We just need to delay as much as possible and wait for Venerable Qin Gu to arrive..."
"The Soul Refining Tower will be open for seven days. Today is the last day, and more than half of us are dead or injured. Once the Soul Refining Tower is closed, the tree demon will immediately attack us. Prepare for battle!"
Pei Yun's face was heavy, and the two of them looked at the towering trees that grew upright and lushly throughout the Soul Refining Tower, their eyes filled with sternness and determination.
Sure enough, after seven days, Pei Yun and the other two below and the surviving mortals heard the heavy sound of a door closing.
The mortals present trembled with deep fear as they gazed up at the dark sky. Some knelt on the ground, their legs weak and sobbing softly in fear...
Some people were so frightened that they went berserk, buried their heads in their chests, and muttered, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
There were also some smart people like Meng Xia, who hid behind Pei Yun and the others in panic, seeking shelter.
The souls of thousands of cultivators gave the tree demon a good meal. The cultivators who dared to enter were basically above the Nascent Soul stage, and the soul of one cultivator was equivalent to that of hundreds of mortals.
The tree demon reappeared, its two red eyes glaring maliciously at Pei Yun and the others. It licked its lips and said, "Your souls must taste delicious!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Pei Yun and the others time to speak, the branches and leaves of his giant tree swayed violently, and countless branches quickly grew longer at the same time. In just a moment, they woven into an impenetrable tree net in mid-air and fell from the sky, trying to trap everyone below...
Luo Rufeng's sword moved with his heart. As his mind turned, a sword formation emitting dazzling light and filled with sword intent appeared behind him. He said, "Start."
The next moment, thousands of razor-sharp sword beams shot out from the sword formation, striking the tree net above. The surface of the net was also covered with a layer of faint green light, which revealed the laws of life. The sword beams mercilessly pierced through the densely woven tree net, leaving tiny cracks in its wake. However, the tree net relied on the life force contained within to continuously repair itself...
Seeing the tree network above his head about to completely overturn, Luo Rufeng's eyes became even darker. He raised the spiritual sword in his hand, and spiritual power condensed into the sword. The sword body was surrounded by an aura of destruction: "World-destroying Black Dragon Sword!"
A black dragon, emitting an aura of destruction, emerged from the sword. With a roar, it charged towards the tree network above at an extremely fast speed...
"Damn it!" The tree demon felt threatened. His ultimate move contained the law of life, while the opponent's intention of destruction also incorporated the law of death, and the two just counteracted each other.
The tree demon raised his hands that were like dead branches, activated the demon pill in his body, mobilized the demon power and poured it into the tree net, and prepared to fight hard!
At the moment the black dragon collided, a strong green light burst out from the tree net, intending to cover the opponent's destructive aura: "Endless life!"
The black dragon roared and pushed upward desperately to break free from the tree net. During the stalemate, the sword spirit in Luo Rufeng's mind once again burst into golden light. The sword spirit manifested and soared into the sky to assist the black dragon...
The tree demon on the other side also exerted its strength again, and large leaves broke away from its body and covered the surface of the tree net to secure it...
Pei Yun maintained her own territory to protect everyone while watching the battle with a worried look on her face. Seeing this, she took out Guixi City, injected spiritual energy into it, and threw it into the air. Guixi City instantly grew larger, and a powerful suction force attacked the tree monster...
She knew that the tree demon was at least at the Demon Void level (the Human race's Void Refining stage), and Guixicheng could do nothing to it, but she was just cooperating with Luo Rufeng to make the demon reveal its flaws.
Sure enough, Pei Yun’s attack startled the tree demon and distracted it for a moment.
Luo Rufeng seized the moment when the tree demon was distracted and poured all his spiritual power into it.
Finally, the black dragon's head smashed through the tree net, tearing the huge net in two like a rag. The manifested sword spirit took advantage of the opponent's life force before it could recover and cut the tree net into pieces...
"Two bastards!" The tree demon's anger reached its peak. In a rage, the thick tree roots below broke out of the ground again and whipped towards the mortal and Pei Yun standing on the ground.
The mortals were staggering, unable to stand steadily. Seeing this, Pei Yun placed her palm on the ground. A force of space was transmitted from her palm into the ground, trying to stabilize her domain. With her as the center, spatial lines appeared in the domain, forming complex spatial runes...
But this time, the tree demon's attack didn't stop there. The roots seemed to be soaked in blood, glowing dark red. The red light gradually spread upward from the roots until the entire tree, including the branches and leaves, turned blood red. A faint bloody smell emanated from his body...
"Not good!" Pei Yun seemed to react, but it was too late. Countless vengeful souls with tragic deaths emerged from the roots, emitting resentment and surrounding them from all directions...
"Ahh! Ghost!"
"Help!"
The mortals present were completely terrified by the eerie and strange scene before them. This was even more terrifying than the hell on earth they had imagined. Many people fainted and peed themselves, while others fled towards Pei Yun with frantic expressions. The scene was in complete chaos...
"Don't be afraid! They can't enter my territory..." These resentful souls lay on the space barrier of the territory, corroding the transparent barrier with their resentment.
Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun looked at each other helplessly. They couldn't take action against these resentful souls. If they killed them completely, these souls would not be able to reincarnate.
"Let's see how long this domain of yours can hold!" The tree demon smirked. Furthermore, his leaves began to ooze a sticky sap, which dripped onto the spatial barrier below, accompanied by a rancid odor...
The spatial force in Pei Yun's body was rapidly depleting. Luo Rufeng used his sword and shield to block the erosion of the juice, but his spiritual power was only 30% left. Even if he took the elixir, it would not last long...
Just as the tree demon was accumulating its demonic power and preparing to lay down the tree net again, at this critical moment, the door of the Soul Refining Tower was opened again!
Before anyone could react, a sword beam carrying immense power slashed towards the tree demon...
