Chapter 35: The Ancient Tree's Divine Might (First Update!)

  Thanks for the reward from book friends "Daqin Xianfeng" and "s12214561"!

  This is today's first update, with two more to come, estimated to be one in the afternoon and one at night, this is a forecast! Seeking recommendations, seeking collections!

  ————

  No one had expected this ancient tree to suddenly go berserk.

  They also speculated that the ferocious beast was afraid because of the aura emitted by the ancient tree. The Longevity Tree has combat power, and it's really their first time seeing it! In some classics, there seems to be no introduction about this aspect!

  It can be imagined that the ancient wisteria is so big! Five fierce beasts rushed towards the ancient wisteria, wanting to break through the obstruction, but unfortunately, the ancient wisteria didn't move at all, as stable as a mountain! The unstoppable beasts were helpless in front of the ancient wisteria!

  The lion's head let out a furious roar, as if it wanted to make a desperate move. It steadied its body, and the two demonic wings behind it spread open, flapping towards that ancient wisteria! Although he didn't know what its origins were, Jiang Xiaoyu had seen it rival four ferocious beasts, even subtly gaining the upper hand.

  Even among ferocious beasts, it has a relatively high status, estimated to be below the ancient jiao and even the iron wall tyrant dragon!

  The twin wings let out a fierce, ghostly howl, so terrifying that it made one's heart and soul flutter, their scalp numb. Those black wings heavily flapped against the ancient wisteria, yet the ancient wisteria merely trembled slightly, without suffering any damage!

  The lion-headed beast's expression changed greatly, never expecting that its sure-kill move would be ineffective! The Longevity Tree was too ferocious after all! Continuously provoked, the Longevity Fruit Tree seemed to have also become enraged. Only seeing the ancient vines on top, five tender green and smooth branches quickly grew out, getting longer and longer!

  Then those branches were drawn on the body of the five-headed beast!

  Bang!

  A huge creature with five heads was blown away by a small twig! The twig is about the same thickness as its hair...

  The ferocious beasts were stunned, for a moment they didn't know what to do, unable to break through the ancient vines, how could they escape this dangerous place? The lion-headed beast regretted it extremely, if only they had known earlier, they shouldn't have entered this land.

  But it didn't want to give up, didn't want its life to end here! It closed its eyes tightly, and then between the two eyes on its forehead, a fine seam suddenly appeared, and as this seam opened, incredibly, an eye was revealed!

  It was a golden eyeball, constantly rotating, as if sizing up everything around it.

  "Three eyes...... Could this be the legendary Heavenly King Beast?!"

  "Tianwang Beast? A killing god spirit, a peerless ferocious beast that's even more ancient than the Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon?"

  "No! According to the records, the Heavenly King Beast shouldn't be like this. Could it have undergone a mutation?"

  The ancient relic is becoming increasingly mysterious, and it's really unknown what kind of origin the master who opened up this land had. There are ferocious beasts here, but even among them, some rare qualities exist, and this move is more than what was previously guessed.

  Moreover, the Longevity Tree is also planted here, and it must be the master of the Longevity Tree in the ancient times! Everyone has already begun to carefully recall who was the last master of the Longevity Tree in ancient times. Because the last master, very likely, is the creator of this world!

  From the emergence of Gu Teng to the rebellion of the ferocious beasts, all this happened in a flash. Jiang Xiaoyu widened his eyes and involuntarily glanced at the Longsheng Tree not far away. It's too cruel! It's even more brutal than the ferocious beasts, and its explosive power is so strong!

  If I'm not mistaken, this ancient wisteria should be just one branch of the Longevity Tree. Who would have thought that such a seemingly ordinary old tree would have such massive branches? It must be able to sprout its own branches; otherwise, how did this ancient wisteria suddenly appear?

  Fortunately, the Longevity Tree seemed to have no malice towards him, and was only targeting those five ferocious beasts.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  Constantly whipping the five ferocious beasts, they didn't show any temper, and there was no way to vent their anger. Because it was impossible to move the ancient rattan, these branches were extremely soft and slippery, and couldn't be grasped, how could they counterattack?

  This ancient tree was thought to be the master of this ancient relic by many people before showing its divine power. No one expected that the strongest in this land would actually be their target for this trip!

  A beast like a boar suddenly jumped up, dodging branches and charging towards the Longevity Tree. This is an all-out counterattack, anyway we're going to die, might as well go all out and attack the main body!

  Boom!

  Before it could even get close, the green waves of energy sent it flying back, unable to approach! The Longevity Tree's combat strength was boundless, and the five-headed ferocious beast was playing in the palm of its hand. For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence.

  Strong, too strong! Looking at the appearance of the Long Life Tree, it seems that it has not been suppressed by this world at all. If such combat power is placed in the outside world, even the three great peak powers may not be its opponent.

  It has existed since ancient times, with a long history, and has already become spiritual, and it is possible that it has produced its own spiritual wisdom.

  At this moment, it's not an exaggeration to call it a divine being. Perhaps even gods don't have such a long lifespan? Gods can create the heavens and earth, creating a world, but they too cannot withstand the passage of time, and are impermanent in the universe...

  The master of this world is a god, and a powerful one at that! Otherwise, how could such a vast world be created, containing so many ferocious beasts, and even the Longevity Tree? However, judging from the current situation, the master of the ancient relic has long since fallen and is no longer alive in this world.

  No one has ever reached the end of spiritual practice, and the other shore is still just a legend that has not been verified. It may be just an idea of our predecessors, rather than something that really exists.

  There are still many practitioners who tread this path without complaint and die without regret!

  "Long life tree...... Could it be that this divine tree has the secret of longevity?"

  It is known that those who obtain it are none other than the strongest among the strong, or at least beings of the divine level. At that level, there is no enthusiasm for the Divine Fruit, and combined with its name, people can't help but speculate about even deeper levels.

  Boom!

  A loud crash broke everyone's thoughts, and the fierce battle between Gu Teng and the ferocious beasts had yet to end!

  The five-headed ferocious beast disregarded the branches' whipping, wanting to charge out of this region. The Longevity Tree, however, stood firm and unmoving, after which numerous ancient vines emerged, sealing them in tightly, making it impossible for them to break free!

  That loud noise just now was caused by their joint efforts! Countless ancient vines blocked the way, allowing themselves to be blown by the wind and beaten by the rain, and attacked like thunder. The ancient vines were unmoved. Countless branches also emerged, entwining around the bodies of the fierce beasts, binding them very tightly, until they could not move at all in the end.

  As for all this, everyone's line of sight was blocked by the old wisteria, and they couldn't see what was happening inside at all.

  It was Jiang Xiaoyu who secretly admired the ferocity of the Long Life Tree. There was one place where there were no ancient vines, which was this block facing the Long Life Tree, because its body blocked it, how could the fierce beasts escape? Jiang Xiaoyu happened to be standing nearby and saw the entire battle clearly.

  The ferocity of the beasts' combat strength is terrifying, and it's not an exaggeration to say that their power is boundless. But now, under these branches, their brute force can no longer be unleashed. The Longevity Tree uses softness to overcome hardness, using power to subdue power!

  The five ferocious beasts now have no trace of ferocity, all pitifully staring at the ancient tree. This feeling is really unbearable, unable to exert their strength, and each has a different qualification, extremely ungraceful.

  Clap! Clap! Clap!

  Again, several whips fell, and then the branches began to shrink back into the ancient rattan. Only then did the five fierce beasts stand up, shook their bodies a few times, and exercised their limbs. Then, the ancient rattan drilled back into the mud and disappeared from sight.

  The five ferocious beasts hastily left this place, no longer staying for a moment. Before they left, however, they gave Jiang Xiaoyu a deep look, their eyes filled with unwillingness! But there was nothing they could do, the Longevity Tree was too powerful and not something they could match.

  The ferocious beast left, and the onlookers quickly made way for it, hiding far away. The Longevity Tree could trample them at will, not because they were weak, but because the Longevity Tree was too powerful!

  After a burst of earth-shaking movement, the sound waves grew smaller and smaller, and it could be felt that these five fierce beasts had begun to descend the mountain.

  Everyone looked at the Longevity Tree again, each with their own thoughts. They didn't rush to get close, fearing they would end up like those ferocious beasts. The ferocious beasts had strong bodies and could withstand the torture of the Longevity Tree without dying, but that didn't mean they could too.

  That branch is going to break off with just two more tugs, and I reckon it'll be a bloody mess.

  "It's him!" said one of them, who had just joined the crowd not long ago.

  In this vast world, there are still many people who have not arrived yet. The first person Jiang Xiaoyu met in this world is the young man who was knocked to the ground by his punch, Tang Shengyang.

  "My divine power has reached a certain level of accomplishment. When I get the chance, I will definitely fight him once!" Tang Shengyang's eyes suddenly burst into flames!

  If he knew, Jiang Xiaoyu's previous expressions, I don't know if this young man still has the mind to fight.

  Jiang Xiaoyu stood here very safely, and his heart also let out a sigh of relief. The fierce beast's pursuit had finally come to an end. He could now safely obtain the ordinary ancient crocodile meat and the entire body of the Iron Arm Tyrant Dragon.

  However, the fact that the Longevity Tree can fight is astonishing, and the world is indeed full of wonders! From the stone tablet of Shi Huang, combined with what has happened so far, Jiang Xiaoyu estimated that the Longevity Tree only shows its strong side when facing fierce beasts, but towards humans or other races, it does not have any hostility, and naturally will not take action.

  Shi Huang said that there is a divine fruit here, proving that he himself has obtained it. If the Longevity Tree is in danger, he will definitely warn us in advance. As for the ferocious beast... it's probably because of the special situation of this world that it appears?

  Looking at the blood-colored sun in the sky, Jiang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and said that perhaps Shi Huang had come before the appearance of the blood-colored sun. After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Xiaoyu quickly analyzed the events of the past few days.

  Seeing the big black man waiting inside for so long without any harm, the crowd also had the idea of going forward.

  But at this moment, a sudden change occurred! Those spreading green ripples did not disappear, but they didn't have any destructive power. However, now they kept floating up and transformed into a green barrier, covering the entire mound, making it impossible for outsiders to approach!

  Jiang Xiaoyu's eyelid twitched, and he naturally felt the sudden change, couldn't help but feel puzzled, "This is..."

  Suddenly his face changed color, feeling as if the ground under his feet was shaking, with increasing intensity.

  An ancient wisteria sprouted from under his feet and continued to rise.

  Looking at the ancient wisteria in front of her, with dense and mysterious patterns carved on it, Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned white!
