And under this light, the soul seal began to surge, forming a pair of emotionless eyes. At first, these eyes were like faint ink on rice paper, not very clear. Then, they slowly condensed. After forming its eyes, the lines on its face began to outline, as if an invisible pen was painting. As the lines swam, its resolute and handsome face was completed.

The tip of the brush turned. His body then appeared. It was a slender old man with white hair and a white beard. He was in the form of a soul. As he appeared, the surrounding void immediately trembled.

Even though it was only in the form of a soul, the aura emitted by the entire old man was extremely shocking. It made everyone who felt this aura tremble instinctively.

Everyone looked at Xiao Shi in shock. They were dumbfounded.

“S-sage!” They looked straight at the soul floating in front of Xiao Shi. They did not expect Xiao Shi to actually summon the soul of a Sage!

Xiao Shi’s face turned slightly pale. Even with the strength of his soul, after injecting a large amount of soul power into the Sacred Soul Summoning Seal in his hand, he felt overdrafted. This Sacred Soul Summoning Seal was a powerful item that he had dropped when he killed the Martial Demon Realm sea beast.

Its function was mainly to summon the soul of a Sage through the activation of the seal for him to use.

However, there were relatively harsh conditions for using this Sacred Soul Summoning Seal. When activating the seal, a large amount of soul power needed to be injected into the seak. If one’s soul power was insufficient, they would not be able to summon the Sage’s Soul Body.

Secondly, the time the summoned Sage’s Soul Body existed and the number of attacks it could carry out would be determined by its soul power. The more soul power there was, the longer the soul existed, and the more attacks it would have.

This Sacred Soul Summoning Seal was Xiao Shi’s powerful ace in the hole to deal with this Sage Tree! With the strength of a Sage, it was difficult to kill them even if they were suppressed. Then, Xiao Shi might as well summon the soul of a Sage.

Using a Sage to fight a Sage!

“Kill!” Killing intent flashed in Xiao Shi’s eyes. Although he was pale and dizzy under the overdraft of his soul power, and his vision was a little blurry, he could still control this Sage’s Soul Body through his soul power to attack the Sage Tree in front of him.

Boom!!

The Sage’s Soul Body only took a step forward, but it had already set off a terrifying air wave impact. The entire huge Sage Tree seemed to have sensed the danger at this moment and trembled violently.

The two vines that were resisting the Red Refined Corpse and Xiao Shi’s mirror image immediately retracted, wanting to return to resist the Sage’s Soul Body. However, be it the Red Refined Corpse, Xiao Shi’s mirror image, or the other cultivators, it was impossible for them to let these two vines return.

Under their all-out interception, these two vines could not come back to stop him at all. With the speed of the Sage’s Soul Body, he turned into a soul light. There was a bang. It collided with this incomparably huge Sage Tree. An incomparably miserable scream immediately burst out from the Sage Tree.

So much so that everyone could hear it clearly. However, that scream came from its soul. It directly echoed in everyone’s minds. Now, the suppression this Giant Sage Tree suffered was not only on its body, but also on its soul.

Therefore, when facing the attack of the Sage’s Soul Body, this giant tree was also in a situation where it could not resist and could only be passively beaten.

And the attack of the Sage’s Soul Body was far from what the attacks of Xiao Shi and the other Martial Demon Realm experts could compare to.

Boom!!

Under the miserable scream of the Sage Tree, its soul was instantly severely injured. As a result, the two vines that were fighting everyone suddenly lost their vitality after a violent tremble and fell.

After the Sage’s Soul Body attacked, it did not stop. With the soul power provided by Xiao Shi, he could attack more than once. However, at this moment, the Sage’s Soul Body had already rushed into the Sage Tree, causing everyone to no longer be able to see the attack made by the Sage’s Soul Body.

They could only see the huge Sage Tree tremble violently. All the branches fell powerlessly. There was no longer any trace of life.

“Dead?” Xiao Shi sensed his soul. He could sense that there was no soul fluctuation on the Sage Tree at all. Its soul seemed to have been completely shattered and destroyed. “As expected, using the soul of a Sage to kill is the most effective method.”

Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief. For this reason, he had also prepared a martial fiend, demon-level pill that could quickly recover his soul power. He was worried that his soul power might not be enough to support the Sage’s Soul Body to attack many times.

From the looks of it, with his current soul power, it was completely enough for the Sage’s Soul Body to kill him.

As the Sage Tree died, the Sacred Soul Summoning Seal in Xiao Shi’s hand slowly dissipated. Although this Sacred Soul Summoning Seal was extremely powerful, it could only be used once.

After successfully killing the Sage Tree, Xiao Shi looked under the Giant Sage Tree, searching for the items that had fallen after the Giant Sage Tree died. His heart was filled with intense anticipation. If the Sage Tree could drop a Sage-level item or a Daolord-level item, his gains this time would be incomparably huge.

With the death of the Sage Tree, cracks suddenly appeared on the entire huge tree trunk. These cracks spread at an astonishing speed. In an instant, they filled the entire Sage Tree.

“Something’s wrong!!” Xiao Shi suddenly felt an incomparably strong sense of danger. Almost at the moment this sense of danger appeared, he teleported to the side of the mirror image behind him without hesitation.

Boom!!

The entire huge Sage Tree exploded! Even the ice shell that covered its body was instantly shattered by the explosion of the entire tree. Not only that, the ice domain formed by exclusive items also exploded under the explosion of the Sage Tree. The shockwaves caused by this explosion spread in all directions at an astonishing speed. It sent everyone flying.

Even with Xiao Shi’s powerful body, he felt like he had suffered a heavy blow. He was sent flying far away. He coughed up blood. The other Martial Demon Realm cultivators fell to the ground in a sorry state from the impact. Although they did not die, they were all severely injured. Their Iron Refined Corpse was completely shattered under this attack.

“It’s clearly dead… Why did it suddenly self-destruct?” Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn. If he had not teleported away in time, he would have been at risk of death at such a close distance. After all, this was the self-destruction of a Sage’s corpse!

Although Xiao Shi was severely injured by the impact of this self-destruction, the injuries on his body immediately began to recover at a visible speed. He stared at the place where the Sage Tree self-destructed in the distance.

Through the smoke and dust, an incomparably huge pit appeared there. Moreover, there was a complicated and ancient array seal in the deep pit. Currently, this array seal is already in a state of activation.

This stunned Xiao Shi. He suddenly realized that the self-destruction of the Sage Tree was caused by this array seal. Clearly, when the Sage Tree was still alive, it had been suppressing this array seal. Now that the Sage Tree was dead, this array seal was no longer suppressed.

The two seemed to be in a state of mutual suppression.. However, with the death of the Sage Tree, the balance between them was broken!
