Chapter 80 Spirit Tree
Before long, Lian Yun felt a blur in front of him, and then he saw a massive tree appear ahead.
It was massive because its branches spread out widely. There were no leaves, resembling a tree in autumn; the entire tree consisted only of its trunk and branches.
However, from a distance, one could see that the tips of those branches were laden with enormous fruits. Each fruit was as tall as an average person, almost like a house.
Lian Yun, feeling bold, followed the gaze of the God of Killing and, not thinking too much about it, curiously asked, "Are we supposed to pick those fruits?"
"Uh~~~"
Many members of the Xianjian Sect and Monarchs around looked at Lian Yun with a sense of disbelief.
This left Lian Yun feeling somewhat speechless and puzzled. "Aren't they?"
"Uh~~ Those things that look like fruits are actually the mouthparts of the Demon Tree. Each one represents a huge mouthpart with strong teeth and incredible defense."
"The mission is to shatter those mouthparts. After the activity ends, rewards will be given based on the number of mouthparts each person breaks. This event is the last opportunity within the year to earn Mental Potions aside from the New Year event, so do your best later!"
Elder Mei explained to Lian Yun with some exasperation.
"Oh~~ I thought those were fruits that could be picked and eaten or made into Mental Potions."
Several elders from the Xianjian Sect facepalmed in disbelief, feeling that after just a short time apart, the White Cloud Worshipper had turned into a glutton.
At this moment, the Six Half Emperors approached the Demon Tree first. As they drew near, the branches of the Demon Tree transformed into incredibly agile serpents, rushing towards the Six Half Emperors with countless 'fruits.'
Before they could get close, all the fruits suddenly split apart, revealing two rows of razor-sharp shark teeth. Inside was an abyssal darkness that resembled a black hole.
However, the Six Half Emperors merely waved their hands lightly, causing tens of thousands of them to instantly turn to dust.
"Don't think these Giant Mouths are easy to kill; that's Half Emperor power at work. Our strength doesn't match that of High Emperors and can't inflict damage on them. Moreover, they possess a certain degree of self-healing ability. Essentially, you need sustained output at Top Emperor level to shatter one Giant Mouth. Later on, White Cloud Worshipper will join us in action!" Qiu ChujI said at an opportune moment.
In Qiu ChujI's view, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun were able to pass through the Yaochi Dungeon, which had remained uncompleted for a hundred years, thanks to their exceptional synergy. When they acted together, they could unleash even greater power.
Lian Yun felt no objection to this arrangement. Among the Ten Thousand People, only he and Xiao Jun were in the King's Realm. Thus, being together made them feel more at ease.
Once the Six Half Emperors flew to the top of the Demon Tree, drawing the attention of more than half of the Giant Mouths, Insect Emperor and other Peerless Monarchs quickly took action, soaring into the air. With fewer than fifty Peerless Monarchs, they attracted a significant portion of the Demon Tree's attention.
Meanwhile, on Lian Yun's side, the main force began to move, swiftly approaching but spreading out in a fan shape. The three tiers of Monarchs—low, middle, and high—formed groups of three to five individuals, while only the Top Emperor moved alone toward the Spirit Tree.
However, before anyone could get close, countless roots of the Demon Tree, each bearing a Giant Mouth, surged forward in a tightly packed wave, resembling a mountain flood or tsunami.
The scene was nothing short of an extraordinary battlefield.
Setting aside the surreal scene at the top of the tree and the various attack methods from nearly fifty Peerless Monarchs, just on the ground and at low altitude, there were over ten thousand Monarchs. With everyone attacking with all their might, their momentum was truly overwhelming and boundless.
Yet, it seemed that the Demon Tree was simply too massive; this level of force barely scratched its surface as countless Giant Mouths continued to surge forward.
The ten thousand Monarchs did not engage directly but instead slowly retreated and spread out to form an encirclement around the Demon Tree. Then, three to five Monarchs would unite to occupy a specific area and launch concentrated attacks.
Lian Yun and Xiao Jun found themselves positioned in the middle of the Xianjian Sect. Although both possessed great strength, they were still merely in the King's Realm. Being in this central location provided them protection from the sect.
Moreover, their offensive capabilities were not weak at all; they could easily match some of the less-than-fully-powered Peak Monarchs.
Xiao Jun unleashed numerous Spiritual Energy Greatswords. With a single move like Annihilation or Void, he could eliminate one Giant Mouth. When he unleashed nearly a hundred Spiritual Energy Greatswords, it amounted to hundreds of tasks completed.
Similarly, Lian Yun did not immediately retract his Spiritual Power Greatsword after one strike. Instead, he continued attacking five or six times until his Spiritual Energy Greatsword was minimized before pulling it back into his body.
Since these Spiritual Energy Greatswords drew their energy from the Insect Emperor, what he sought to retract was not merely energy but rather mental consciousness.
After using up thousands of his greatswords, Lian Yun ascended into the sky behind the Insect Emperor, placing a hand on his waist to absorb spiritual power.
"That brat is treating me like an ATM again! Hand over those Diamond Spirit Coins. I know you have plenty!"
This particular Peerless Monarch was certainly not one to be taken advantage of. However, Lian Yun paid it no mind and waved his hand generously to give away a thousand Diamond Spirit Coins.
After unleashing a thousand Greatswords, the Insect Emperor swiftly descended to engage with Xiao Jun.
On either side of the Insect Emperor, Zhang Yilian and Fang Wu shook their heads in resignation. Zhang Yilian, somewhat speechless, remarked, "That friend is actually helping you out, and you still have the nerve to ask for Diamond Spirit Coins."
Fang Wu chimed in, "You really know how to be a senior, don't you? How shameless!"
"Hey, that kid is quite wealthy; his monthly income is about the same as ours. Being polite to him is just going against myself. I don’t care about your so-called Benevolence and Righteousness."
How much wealth one has is their own business; it has nothing to do with someone like him. The Insect Emperor's attitude truly exemplified shamelessness at its peak, leaving both Zhang Yilian and Fang Wu at a loss for words.
The conversation in the high sky was audible below, and many Monarchs looked up at the Insect Emperor with bemusement. However, Lian Yun paid no mind. After using up the second round of a thousand Greatswords, he began to harness his spiritual energy to create Spiritual Power Greatswords. He consumed energy while producing them, gradually replenishing the thousand Spiritual Energy Greatswords.
The relentless assault felt somewhat monotonous; however, the over ten thousand Monarchs remained vigilant. On one hand, each Giant Mouth of the Demon Tree had considerable attack power, and a moment of carelessness could lead to fatal consequences. On the other hand, for Monarchs at the intermediate and advanced levels, this Dungeon was their source of income for an entire year’s worth of Mental Potions.
The rewards from this Dungeon were crucial for their development throughout the year.
Yet this calm did not last long.
