The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 321
Chapter 321 Ancient God’s Tower (7)
Facing such a terrifying tree demon, most people would definitely choose to flee for their lives at the first possible moment. How could they possibly have any other thoughts?
However, Li Qing was different. He had too many treasures on him, and he could do things that no one else could.
A bold idea suddenly arose in his heart. Could he take advantage of the fact that the Tree Demon was still unable to move and kill it?
If others heard Li Qing’s thoughts, they would definitely think that he was crazy. Such a terrifying tree demon’s defensive power must be extremely strong. Even if it didn’t move, it wouldn’t necessarily be able to strike down a piece of tree bark.
Li Qing, on the other hand, was the least afraid of such a powerful monster, because he had a Heavenly Saber and was unparalleled in sharpness. The Tree Demon was unable to move and could only be used as a living target. This situation was too suitable for Heavenly Saber to display.
Time was of the essence. The Tree Demon could come out at any time. There was no time to think about it. Li Qing gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk and try to kill the Tree Demon!
As soon as he thought of it, he took out his Heavenly Saber and immediately rushed towards the tree demon trunk in the sealed area.
At this moment, although the Tree Demon hadn’t completely escaped from its trap, it clearly had a certain degree of autonomy. Seemingly sensing that Li Qing wanted to harm it, he immediately counterattacked. Countless branches surrounded him from all directions, piercing through the void like black chains.
Li Qing continuously brandished his Heavenly Saber, dancing so tightly that it could not penetrate the air, cutting off countless branches that were attacking him.
However, the demonic power of the Tree Demon was simply too powerful. Countless branches flowed endlessly, seemingly endless, forming a dark green ocean.
Li Qing chopped through the waves in this dark green ocean. The power of the Heavenly Saber had never disappointed him. Every time the blade sliced through the branches and leaves, not only would it cut them apart, but even the surrounding branches would turn yellow and lose all their vitality, turning into withered branches and fallen leaves.
This was the second move of the Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes.
When Li Qing’s True Essence was injected into the Heavenly Saber, an unpredictable change would occur, forming an extinctive force. Once it hits anything, it will wipe out all the life force in its body.
Because of this move, the countless branches were no longer so terrifying. Wherever they passed, all the branches and leaves were extinguished and turned yellow.
This move could be said to be used to restrain the Tree Demon, because the Tree Demon was famous for its powerful vitality, but in the face of utter annihilation, no matter how powerful its vitality was, it was useless.
Li Qing smoothly cleaved a passage and arrived in front of the tree demon.
There was only one final step to the final success. Li Qing raised his saber and was about to slash it. Suddenly, a mental thought came to his mind. This was the tree demon communicating with him, begging for mercy from Li Qing’s saber. After escaping, he was willing to repay him.
The Tree Demon had lived for countless years, and its intelligence was basically the same as that of humans. In the face of life-threatening situations, it would beg for mercy.
How could Li Qing believe the promise of the monster? Without hesitation, he immediately brandished his saber horizontally and slashed the Heavenly Saber horizontally onto the tree demon’s trunk.
Make a clean break with!
The sharpness of the Heavenly Saber was invincible. Even existences at the same level as tree demons were unable to resist it.
“Kacha!” A crisp voice sounded as the Heavenly Saber slashed into the main trunk. However, the size of this giant tree was simply too large, and the Heavenly Saber was too small. With a single slash, it had only reached the edge of the tree.
Li Qing hurriedly chopped down several dozen times before cutting off the tree demon’s trunk. A giant tree fell down and fell to the ground with a “rumble”.
This was the body of the Tree Demon, and it was also a supreme divine tree. Just its hardness and size alone had reached an astonishing level.
When he cut off the main trunk, Li Qing seemed to hear a miserable scream in his mind. The tree demon was constantly roaring, threatening and threatening Li Qing, threatening to crush his bones and ashes after escaping from the trap.
Li Qing was unmoved. This tree demon was obviously not dead yet. This kind of monster’s vitality was too strong, and there was a huge root beneath the ground. Even if its main trunk was cut off, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
If Li Qing wanted to kill this tree demon, he had to destroy all the roots underground.
However, when the seal was about to be opened, how could there be so much time to exterminate the dense roots?
Li Qing raised his Heavenly Saber once again and shouted, “Void Annihilation!”
Boom!
This was the third move of the Nine Demon Emperors Slash!
A crack appeared in the void! It turned into the sharpest saber in the world, tearing everything apart and extending to the ground.
A crack appeared on the ground, and most of the roots of the tree demon were annihilated by the void crack, turning into nothingness.
Li Qing instantly felt that more than half of the true essence in his body had been extracted.
Right now, his strength was already so strong, and his True Essence was like a sea, endless. However, he was still drained of most of his True Essence. It could be seen that the consumption of this move was truly too great.
However, with so much True Essence consumed, the power of this move was much greater than before. The spatial rift was extremely large in scope and length, so that it could destroy most of the roots of the Tree Demon.
Beneath the cracks in the ground, one could see that there was still a luminous object left behind. Li Qing manipulated his True Essence and absorbed it from the air. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a very hard piece of wood.
“This piece of wood can’t even be destroyed by space annihilation. It’s definitely not an ordinary object.” Li Qing thought to himself, “Could it be that this is the legendary Heart of the Tree God?”
The Heart of the Tree God was not something that all trees could nurture. Only those extremely powerful and ancient trees had the slightest chance of being born. It could be seen how precious they were.
This Tree Demon was so powerful that it was not surprising that a Tree God’s Heart had appeared. Moreover, the quality of this Tree God’s Heart was so high that it could not even be destroyed by the Void Annihilation.
This was definitely a rare treasure!
Li Qing couldn’t help but reveal a smile. Not only did he exterminate the tree demon, he also obtained this precious treasure. This risk was truly right.
He also put the broken tree into his spatial ring. This giant tree was the backbone of the Demon Tree. It was incomparably hard, and it was also a precious treasure of the sect.
“I wonder if this tree demon has completely died.” Li Qing secretly guessed in his heart, “Normally speaking, the Tree Demon’s vitality is extremely strong. Even a small portion of its roots can survive. There are so many roots underground, so it definitely hasn’t been completely annihilated. Perhaps it hasn’t died completely.”
Although the Tree Demon might not be dead, Li Qing did not have the time to pay attention to it. There were only a few tree demons left. If they wanted to recover, they would definitely not be able to do so without a few decades or a hundred years. There was no threat to him at all.
After finishing these things, Li Qing left the sealed area and headed to the Ancient God Palace on the second floor, preparing to ascend to the third floor.
…
After throwing the inner core into the beast mouth above the gate, Li Qing smoothly entered the main hall.
The hall was still empty, with only a light door in the middle. There were also many strange patterns and characters on the wall. Li Qing was puzzled. After observing them for a while, he memorized them in his heart. Then, he stepped into the light door and entered the third floor.
Standing on the third floor of the world, Li Qing quickly adapted to the environment in front of him. The higher the level of the Ancient God Pagoda, the more dangerous the world within it would become. The world on the third floor was dangerous for Li Qing, so he couldn’t run rampant like before.
The mission of the third level was to kill a rank seven Monster King and obtain its inner core. This task wasn’t too difficult for Li Qing, but it wasn’t easy for others.
Li Qing wasn’t in a hurry to find the Seventh Grade Monster King. The first thing he needed to do was to kill those two Diabolism characters. If the two of them didn’t die, Li Qing’s heart would be uneasy. Perhaps the secrets of his Heavenly Saber would be leaked out by them, causing others to speculate on the origin of his Heavenly Saber.
Perhaps when others saw the Heavenly Saber, they would not be able to recognize it. However, this kind of treasure could not withstand investigation. Once it aroused the curiosity of others, they might find out all the secrets.
Li Qing didn’t know if the two Diabolism characters had reached the third floor. He planned to find the sealed area and wait for the rabbit.
“The seal on the second floor is in the east. I wonder if the seal on the third floor is also in the east.”
According to this rule, Li Qing chose the east direction to explore.
Sure enough, after Li Qing walked for half a day, a large mountain appeared in front of him. Li Qing faintly felt that there was a huge force in the mountain.
“This should be it! Seeing that the seal is really on the east side, I came here so early. I should have arrived before the two of them, right?”
He stepped into the mountain and searched for the sealed area.
Finally, he discovered a huge cave entrance in front of a stone mountain. Occasionally, dark winds blew out from inside.
“This is the sealed area. It seems that the two of them haven’t come yet. I’m a step ahead of them! I definitely can’t let them escape this time.”
Li Qing’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately laid in ambush here, quietly waiting for the prey to come to his door.
…
Li Qing had been waiting there for two days. After such a long time, he thought that the two of them wouldn’t come.
Just as he was about to give up, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Do you think Li Qing will ambush us in front of us?” The black-clothed man said.
“We’ve been observing outside the mountain for two whole days, but there’s no movement inside. I don’t think he’s going to wait to kill us to such an extent, right?” The woman in black said.
In her opinion, that purple saber was only a bit sharper. Perhaps it was a powerful spirit artifact, so it shouldn’t be a big secret, right? He didn’t want Li Qing to insist on killing people and silencing them.
She did not expect that the origin of the Heavenly Saber would be so shocking that Li Qing had to kill them both. We can’t let go of the slightest possibility of leakage.
