Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1258: Brother Tree

Immediately.

Everyone’s gaze refocused on Venerate Wutong, examining her with greed.

She is the Human Supreme of the Heavenly Human Five Declines!

In the era when Sages do not emerge, she governs heaven and earth.

Such a super magnate, how could she not have one or two unrivalled Divine Objects on her?

Swish!

A Demon Venerable’s eyes flashed, and they were the first to make a move.

A chain was raised and, through the air, it wound around Venerate Wutong’s aged body, intending to roll it away.

Wuyu Venerable and Red Dust Venerable’s eyes glinted secretly with a sharp light.

Not only did they not vie for it, on the contrary, their bodies retreated violently.

Jiang Fan also cautiously distanced himself.

This thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, capable of becoming the Forbidden Land Master, and manipulating the body of Venerate Wutong, to fulfill her last wish.

Even, it allowed her to briefly regain her youthful appearance.

Such means are truly remarkable.

Touching Venerate Wutong’s body while in its presence is definitely not a good idea.

Sure enough!

The chain hadn’t yet touched Venerate Wutong’s body when the ground suddenly cracked open.

A massively thick tree root, like a tentacle, stretched out and forcefully struck the chain.

Crunch!

This Demon Venerable’s chain was certainly not a mundane object.

Yet under the strike of the tree root tentacle, it shattered on the spot into numerous fragments, shooting out in all directions like rain.

Venerable Lianjing and six Demon Venerables were all enveloped within.

As for others, it didn’t matter.

The Demon Venerable who made the move had his body turned into a beehive by the fragments.

Divine Blood scattered, bone and flesh splattered.

Even the black Divine Ring behind him flickered uncertainly.

"Hiss!"

In just an instant, the Demon Venerable who made the move was almost smashed to pieces!

His face showed a look of terror, realizing he had caused a great trouble, he turned and wanted to flee.

With a loud bang.

Several tree roots suddenly shot out from beneath him, wrapping around his limbs.

Before he could activate his Domain, another tree root struck violently at his Divine Ring.

Crack!

The Divine Ring shattered on the spot.

Pfft!

The Demon Venerable’s Divine Ring shattered, and connected in Heart Spirit, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face rapidly turning golden.

Then his head tilted, and he fainted on the spot.

When the five Demon Venerables awkwardly repelled the rain-like fragments, they happened to witness the scene before them.

All couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle!

A Divinity Transformation Venerable, being easily defeated and having his Divine Ring destroyed by this ginkgo tree!!!

Squeak!

A sound of friction.

The trunk of the ginkgo tree slowly cracked open, revealing a human-eye-shaped fissure.

In the middle, a Pill Pearl containing immense demonic energy was embedded.

Venerable Lianjing squinted her eyes: "It’s Venerate Wutong’s hundred-flower Origin."

"Before dying, she left her Origin with the ginkgo tree."

"No wonder this ginkgo tree is spiritual and has such high cultivation."

At this time.

The Pill Pearl turned.

Only then did everyone realize, this fissure, is the eye of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree!

It scanned the crowd, uttering a hoarse voice, like the sound of a broken bearing on a wooden door opening.

"Truly a group of greedy beings."

"The master shouldn’t have had mercy on you beings of the Great Wilderness State, abandoning the absorption of heavenly fortune."

"If she had stepped into the Great Sage Realm, she would be alive now."

"How would she end up being coveted after her demise?"

It turns out, Venerate Wutong once had the thought of seizing the fortune of the Great Wilderness State.

But upon witnessing outside the Forbidden Land, the pitiful beings seeking her shelter, she ultimately couldn’t bear to harm them.

Therefore, during her last sleep, she passed on peacefully.

The five Demon Venerables didn’t feel remorse, being Demon Cultivators with no sense of shame.

They only cared about their own safety.

Wuyu Venerable said: "The one who made the move is the Venerable of the White Bone Demon Cave, not related to us."

The ginkgo tree said indifferently: "There’s no difference."

"The master instructed before her last sleep, if she doesn’t wake, don’t let the outside world know."

"Because, if the news of her fate spreads, the beings around the Forbidden Land will lose their last haven of peace, the Holy Land."

"Therefore, none of you should think about leaving."

Rumble!

The words were still fresh.

The entire nest shook.

The Mysterious Demon Liquid formed into strips, gathered tightly together.

Forming an airtight black sphere, it sealed off one part of the heavens.

Making it impossible for them to escape even with wings.

Wuyu Venerable’s face changed dramatically, shouting: "Everyone join forces, break the Mysterious Demon Liquid!"

Red Dust Venerable and the other three Venerables also had their faces changed dramatically.

Without hesitation, they jointly struck one corner of the sphere.

The combined power of the five is one of world-ending might?

As formidable as the Mysterious Demon Liquid is, it couldn’t withstand one strike, on the spot it was pierced with a hole.

However, before they could escape.

The sphere suddenly contracted, and the hole was instantly blocked.

And as it contracted, the Mysterious Demon Liquid condensed several times, making the sphere’s walls incomparably thick.

When they joined forces for another strike, it could no longer be pierced through.

What made them even more desperate was, the sphere was still contracting rapidly.

Eventually forming a substantial sticky sphere that forever solidified everyone inside.

Red Dust Venerable’s face turned pale, casting her last hope towards Venerable Lianjing, saying:

"Senior Lianjing, if not acting now, then when?"

Compared to them, Venerable Lianjing was incredibly calm.

Upon hearing, she calmly raised her eyes, saying:

"Before you kill us, I will kill this boy."

Among the people present, Jiang Fan was the only boy.

Who she meant was self-evident.

Jiang Fan had been watching from the sidelines.

Upon hearing, he blinked his innocent eyes: "Why kill me?"

Venerable Lianjing glanced at him unharmed, saying:

"The chain fragments aimed at everyone except you."

"This ginkgo tree seems to be protecting you."

Wuyu Venerable and the others suddenly realized.

Indeed!

Everyone was affected, but Jiang Fan remained untouched.

Evidently, the ginkgo tree protected him, unwilling for him to be harmed.

Thinking of this, Wuyu Venerable’s eyes showed a sinister look: "Little brat, you dare deceive me?"

"You said you’re Venerate Wutong’s disciple nephew!"

"You even claimed to plead for us!"

"And the result?"

Damn it!

The gifts had been received by Jiang Fan, yet not only did they fail to buy a way out, they were instead hunted by the ginkgo tree!

If he’d known, he would’ve slowly looked for a way in the nest.

Jiang Fan shrugged: "I didn’t deceive you."

"I am indeed Venerate Wutong’s disciple nephew."

"As for the gifts, well, you insisted on giving them to me, what can I do?"

Speaking, he quickly retreated to Venerate Wutong’s side.

Turning his head to look at the ginkgo tree behind him, he said:

"Brother Tree, my uncle and I rely on you."

Calling me what?

Brother Tree?

The ginkgo tree involuntarily moved its eyeball, looking at Jiang Fan with puzzlement.

This guy, could he be a bit slick?

Venerate Wutong said Lu Jiulin was a very serious man.

How is his heir like this?

Alright, whatever, he does count as Venerate Wutong’s disciple nephew.

He must be protected.

The ginkgo tree looked at Venerable Lianjing, showing a trace of dread: "I know why you’re here."

"But, I won’t give it to you."

"Nor will I let you leave!"

The milk-white Divine Ring behind Venerable Lianjing’s head emitted a compelling light.

Her eyes showed calmness: "It’s not up to you!"

A terrifying wave of air suddenly expanded from her surroundings.

The five Demon Venerables, akin to leaves in a storm, were flung, slammed into the surrounding Mysterious Demon Liquid, sticking there!

The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree was also blown and swayed, its leaves producing a rushing rustle.

The tightly attached roots to the ground cracked drastically.

Appearing as if about to be uprooted!
