Chapter 2454 Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree

The black spears were condensed from the black soil in Long Chens primal chaos s.p.a.ce. As he wasnt an earth cultivator, in theory, he shouldnt be able to do such a thing, but upon reaching the third step of Netherpa.s.sage and gaining control of death energy, he was able to imitate the techniques of earth cultivators through the black soils particular energy.

These earthen spears were not tough at all. They smashed into the trees divine light barrier and were blasted apart.

However, they left behind patches of dark air. It was like the very void was being infected by black particles. It could be said that Long Chen had finally reached the level of being able to unleash the power of the black soil.

At this moment, the other tree demons launched their attacks at Long Chen. Wooden thorns and whistling vines fell upon him from every direction.

Long Chen snorted and clapped his hands together. The s.p.a.ce behind him exploded, unleas.h.i.+ng a torrent of black soil upon this world.

The tree demons screamed upon contact with the black soil. The nearby trees quickly withered and died.

Stop, stop!

The ancient tree cried out in fear. The endless black soil finally made it feel fear.

Long Chen stopped pouring out more of the black soil. He had formed a small mountain of it behind him.

The tree demons that had attacked him had turned to dust. Only the ancient tree was able to endure.

Long Chen asked, What is it? Is it time to negotiate?

The old man appeared once more, but this time he had black specks all over his body. Having silently fallen for Long Chens trap, he was unable to force away Long Chens death energy.

Although it could be said that his life energy had reached an almost limitless level, the power of the black soil restrained him. If he allowed it to continue, he would slowly be killed.

Now when he looked at Long Chen, his expression was extremely ugly. Clenching his teeth, he demanded, What do you want?

I want all the precious medicines in this place. I dont want much, just one of each. Im not a greedy person, said Long Chen.

Fine. This demand was acceptable to the elder.

Other than that, I want your Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit, said Long Chen with an evil smile.

Impossible! That is the concentration of my lifes cultivation base. Dont even think about it! raged the elder. He suddenly realized, So you knew who I was from the start!

Hehe, the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree is an ancient species said to have gone extinct in the era of myths. How could I not know?

If Long Chen hadnt realized who it was, how could he have known that this elders act was not sincere at all? It was precisely because Long Chen had figured out that it was a Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit that he was sure he could handle it.

There was a recording of the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree within the Pill Sovereign memories. Its fruit was a thirteenth tier medicinal ingredient. The fruit itself contained its own spirituality, one that would make any spirit pills refined from it craftier, but not more brutal.

This kind of spirit pill was the kind that alchemists had to be on guard against, as they often acted gentle only to trick them. They were more aware of a humans weaknesses and would take advantage of an opening to flee or even devour the alchemist.

This was the nature of the fruit, which stemmed from the tree. This kind of demonic tree was infamous in the age of myths.

Its act of being friends with the human race was all nonsense. Furthermore, when Long Chen tested it by asking it about the battle from back then, it didnt avoid answering it. That was when Long Chen was sure it was a con.

This was a question he had previously asked the Life Spirit G.o.d, but it hadnt answered, only saying that the karma was not something that he could endure.

Since the Life Spirit G.o.d didnt dare to mention it, while this elder was casually talking about it while drinking, it was clear that there was a problem with the wine.

That was why Long Chen had intentionally used an extremely ancient form of drinking etiquette, covering up his actions with his sleeves. He hadnt drunk the wine but simply pulled it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

To avoid exposing himself, he even acted like it wasnt good wine and compared it to the Wine G.o.d Palaces wine. That was to draw the elders attention while he silently drew out the black soil whose aura he had suppressed.

Now he had an absolute advantage, and so he directly extorted the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree for its medicines and fruit.

Long Chen didnt say anything in regard to the elders rejection. He just stared at him.

Being stared at by Long Chen, the elders hair stood on end. He clenched his teeth and extended a hand. A peach-like fruit appeared in his hand. However, it was covered in dense scales.

Here. You can go now. This fruit is equivalent to a thousand years of my cultivation.

Long Chen received it with a smile. The legendary Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit. Hehe, this is something good.

Long Chen put it away and then kept staring at the Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit. Once more, he didnt say anything and simply stared.

You What do you want? Dont go too far! raged the elder.

No, I never go too far, said Long Chen.

Then why arent you leaving? You can go pick one of every medicine in the forest and scram, said the elder coldly.

It seems that only a single Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit isnt very useful to me, said Long Chen, seemingly embarra.s.sed.

How many do you want?!

Long Chen rubbed his hands bashfully. Im not greedy. I naturally only want as many as there are.

You you Die!

The Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree went crazy. Countless branches pierced toward Long Chen like sharp blades, so quickly that he didnt have time to summon the black soil. Its goal was clearly to kill Long Chen in an instant before he could do anything else.

A pill furnace appeared around Long Chen, and all those powerful branches struck it. However, Long Chen still coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This full-power attack from the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree was so powerful that even with the Demon Moon Furnace protecting him, a portion of it transmitted through and struck him. It felt like he was being struck by countless whips.

Long Chen was enraged. As expected, legends couldnt be counted upon. Wasnt it said that while the Heavenly Qilin Demon Trees were very crafty, their guts were very small? He had thought that the black soil would be enough to intimidate it into not attacking.

Fortunately, the Demon Moon Furnace was still able to block the branches. This Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree was incredibly powerful. Even though it wasnt a fighting type of tree demon, it was still an existence above the Netherpa.s.sage realm.

I gave you face but you didnt give me any. Huo Linger, incinerate it.

Long Chen directly gave the order for Huo Linger to come out. The Demon Moon Furnaces runes lit up, and flames gushed out.

Flame runes soared out of the Demon Moon Furnace, and a wave of heat startled the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree. Its branches were instantly set ablaze and being rapidly burned up.

When it tried to suppress the flames, it was horrified to find that they could not be extinguished. Not only that, but the flames were also sucking up its vitality.

Horrified, the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree cut off its own branches and retreated. Those flames terrified it.

With the branches retreating, the Demon Moon Furnaces lid popped open. Flames roared out in the form of a giant flame dragon.

Runes fell from the leaves of the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree, isolating it from the flames. They formed a giant wall.

The Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree was enormous, and the giant flame dragon appeared miniscule in comparison. However, when the flame dragon struck the leaves, they were instantly incinerated, turning to ash in less than a breaths time.

Rumbling rang out and black soil poured out of the void. Death Qi filled the air.

Stop, stop! cried out the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree.

Why should I? You didnt give me any face. The last time I stopped, you were secretly acc.u.mulating power to kill me. If I dont teach you a lesson, whos to say that you wont do the same thing? raged Long Chen.

The black soil quickly filled up this entire island. The Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree was surrounded by it, and its bright leaves began to show black splotches.

With it blocking the flame dragons attacks and the black soils invasion, it was starting to find it hard to keep up.

Stop! Ill give you the Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit! If you keep attacking, itll harm my source, and Ill need to use them to make up for it instead! shouted the Heavenly Qilin Demon Tree in a panic. It was finally afraid.

The flame dragon was attacking from above, while the black soil was invading from below. If this continued, he would only be able to last until all his Heavenly Qilin Demon Fruit were used up.

Long Chen finally stopped pouring out more black soil and had Huo Linger stop. However, he remained ready.

Hand over all of your fruit. If I think youre holding back on me, Ill kill you, demanded Long Chen.
