Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

After passing through Blood Demon Ridge, there was still a long distance to the deepest part of the forest.

Standing in the area behind Blood Demon Ridge and looking out, one could not see the shadow of the forest at all, as it was blocked by the distant high mountains.

Even reaching high altitude would not reveal it. At the end of the line of sight, there was a hazy mist, making it difficult to penetrate even with pupil techniques.

In this kind of continent, in these special areas, the abilities of cultivators were greatly restricted.

Even Jun Wuxie's pupil technique was no exception.

The same went for Yue Yao.

Even with Qing'er's Heavenly Dao, without going deep into the forest, they could not clearly discern the specific situation inside.

Jun Wuxie recalculated according to the coordinates given by the Heavenly Dao Order, then locked onto the direction, allowing Yue Yao to rush away like lightning.

Their speed was very fast. Along the way, Jun Wuxie almost raised his speed to the extreme, with both the 'Line Character Secret' and the 'Symbol Dao Movement Technique' enhancing him.

The journey was quiet, and they did not encounter any powerful creatures along the way.

After a full day, the forest finally appeared at the end of their line of sight.

It was a vast green forest, with trees covering all the area within sight, stretching endlessly.

Before long, they arrived at the edge of the forest.

The entire forest gave people the feeling of a monster opening its huge mouth, causing a chill to run down their spines.

The forest was very quiet. Apart from the sound of the wind, almost no other sounds could be heard.

This was quite strange for a forest that should be full of life, clearly not a normal situation.

"This forest is not simple. There are special fields inside, and multiple fields intertwined, influencing each other. Many areas are inaccessible, otherwise, one will be trapped inside, making it difficult to escape."

Jun Wuxie activated his pupil technique. Being proficient in the Symbol Dao, he saw many problems.

However, although the fields in the forest were terrifying, they did not pose any threat to him.

However, for powerhouses in the Half-God Realm, once they made a wrong step, there would be great trouble. If they were trapped, finding a way out would not be easy.

As for powerhouses in the True God Realm, due to their extreme strength, even if they were trapped, they could break free in a short period of time.

But these were only applicable to most field areas.

In such a forest, there would inevitably be some special field areas where even True God Realm powerhouses, or even powerhouses of higher realms, could be trapped and killed.

There was no doubt about this, after all, the forest was a place where even a powerhouse like Yue Yao could not explore with her divine sense.

Yue Yao's current realm was already half-step Eternal God.

After all, the powerhouse who left the Dao Order in this continent was an existence far beyond the God Realm.

Even if the Dao Order here was perhaps left casually by him back then, it still possessed extremely powerful effects.

He pulled Yue Yao into the forest, walking along the field-free zones between the intertwined fields, perfectly avoiding the influence of the fields.

Their speed of progress was very fast, not much slower than outside.

This was far beyond the ability of the Blood Demon Clan powerhouses; it was something they could not do.

Back then, when the Blood Demon Clan powerhouses entered, it took them a very long time, and they were extremely careful along the way.

This was still under the premise that their senior powerhouses had opened up a safe route.

Their senior powerhouses had paid a huge price for opening up the route. Some were trapped and died in the forest, unable to return alive.

Even with a safe route, their speed of progress was still not very fast.

After all, they needed to consider the changes of countless years, whether the safe route was still absolutely safe, and whether there would be any variables.

Walking the path that predecessors had walked, and completely relying on one's own ability to discern whether there was danger, were two different things, and the difference could not be overstated.

"There are not no creatures in this forest; on the contrary, there are many powerful creatures, and they are all lurking in areas covered by different fields.

With their abilities, they should be able to travel between the fields, but they have not appeared."

Yue Yao's divine sense was much stronger than Jun Wuxie's, who had suppressed his soul realm. Even with the strong suppression of the Order, she could still sense the fluctuations of aura within a certain range.

"The Blood Demon Clan powerhouses have been in the forest for a long time, and they are safe. They have not suffered attacks from the powerful creatures in the forest. Lingfei has also not encountered attacks when entering this place.

The fact that the innate treasure is about to be born, and Lingfei can find it upon entering, also shows that the creatures in this forest have not attacked the innate treasure.

Of course, it is definitely not because they are not interested in the innate treasure; there must be other reasons.

Perhaps, this is also the method of the powerhouse who left the Dao Order back then."

Jun Wuxie analyzed based on what Yue Yao said.

If not for these reasons, it would be impossible to explain.

The importance of the innate treasure, its preciousness, is priceless. Even Emperor Realm powerhouses would be tempted.

Even if some innate treasures are useless to Emperor Realm powerhouses themselves, their descendants and future generations can definitely use them.

Innate treasures are hard to come by and difficult to find throughout the ages.

In the heavens and universes, the conditions for the birth of innate treasures are extremely harsh.

"In that case, we don't have to worry about anything else. At least before helping Lingfei obtain that innate treasure, we only need to face the Blood Demon Clan powerhouses and don't need to consider the creatures lurking in this forest.

As for whether those creatures will attack after obtaining the innate treasure, it is still too early to say and cannot be confirmed.

However, there is no need to consider those for now."

They continued to shuttle through the vast forest, leaving countless afterimages between the dense trees.

Along the way, Jun Wuxie was constantly calculating coordinates.

Gradually, they were getting closer and closer to the location indicated by the coordinates.

Two days later, they finally arrived at their destination.

After crossing a mountain range, there was a large lake in front of them.

The lake water was emerald green, filled with a rich vitality, like a spring of life.

In the center of the lake, there was an island. The vegetation on the island was particularly lush and dense, full of life.

It could be seen that the four seasons on the island alternated extremely quickly.

The vegetation, from germination to vigorous growth to withering, all happened in an instant. After withering, it instantly re-germinated and grew, cycling repeatedly, constantly alternating.

Such a scene looked amazing, dazzling, especially the blooming and withering of those flowers, with petals and fallen leaves flying in the wind all over the sky.

Jun Wuxie's gaze locked on the island.

The island was not very big, and there was a mountain peak in the middle. The top of the mountain was flat, as if it had been cut off from the middle of the mountain.

On that mountain peak, there was a verdant tree, more than ten meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, swaying in the wind. Each time it swayed, brilliant green light rain would overflow between the leaves.

It was that green light rain that diffused a vast vitality, scattering it on the flowers, plants, and trees on the island, causing them to quickly enter the cycle of the four seasons.

Even from such a distance, Jun Wuxie felt the rich innate energy.

That was the Innate Wood Energy!

That tree, that tree was the incarnation of the Innate Source of Wood, its carrier.

It was constantly releasing Innate Wood Energy, changing the environment on the entire island, forming this strange and wonderful scene.

Under that Innate Wood Tree, there was a woman wearing a green palace dress, with black hair like ink, and unparalleled beauty, sitting cross-legged, with emerald green energy flowing on the surface of her body, forming a light罩.

She was constantly absorbing the innate source from the tree.

Perhaps because she was too rushed for time, the speed at which she absorbed was too fast, causing it to exceed the upper limit that her body could bear within a certain period of time, making her situation very bad.

Although the Innate Source of Wood contained rich wood vitality.

Although this vitality could not be compared with the Innate Source of Life with pure life attributes, the vitality was still very powerful.

But even so, she still could not use this vitality to repair the damage to her body, because such damage was brought to her by the Innate Source of Wood.

"Lingfei..."

Jun Wuxie's gaze was completely fixed on the beautiful woman's face under the tree.

If that wasn't his Lingfei, then who would it be?

After decades, he finally saw her again.

She had undergone considerable changes compared to back then. Her temperament was more ethereal, and her appearance was more exquisite and flawless than back then.

At this moment, sitting cross-legged under the Innate Wood Tree, with innate energy flowing around her body, she looked particularly beautiful.

Jun Wuxie's gaze lingered on Lingfei's face for a moment, then moved away, sweeping over the figures suspended in the air around the mountain peak.

Those were the powerhouses of the Blood Demon Clan, more than twenty people.

Their auras were very powerful, and they were all powerhouses in the True God Realm.

However, most of the True Gods were slightly weaker than the two he had suppressed. Only a small portion were slightly stronger than those two.

The strongest among them was a woman wearing a blood-colored phoenix pattern embroidered cloak.

That woman had long, ink-like hair that fell to her waist. She looked very young, with the face of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but her temperament was very mature.

That woman was very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were both cold and dignified, yet made people feel sexy and beautiful.

"I didn't expect the Blood Demon Clan's Clan Emperor to be a woman."

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. This was something he hadn't expected.

Because, back then in the Blood Demon Ancestral City, when he was inquiring about information, he could clearly see from the performance of the Blood Demon Clan's high-level members that the people of the Blood Demon Clan were very afraid of their Clan Emperor, and their Clan Emperor had absolute majesty.

He originally thought that the Blood Demon Clan's Clan Emperor would be a middle-aged or elderly man with heroic and sharp eyes and a deep and unfathomable aura.

Who would have thought that she would be a charming, cold, and sexy woman with a face that was too young.

This was a powerhouse in the Middle Heaven of the True God Realm!

Jun Wuxie had encountered many True God experts since arriving on this continent, all of them at the Lesser Heavenly position of the True God Realm.

This was related to the cultivation environment of the continent, making it almost impossible to break through this realm.

But now, the Blood Demon Clan's Emperor had shattered this limitation, actually possessing the Middle Heavenly position of the True God Realm.

The difference of one Heavenly position represented a world of difference in strength.

This was different from the Saint Realm.

The division of the God Realm was not as detailed as the Heavenly positions of the Saint Realm, lacking distinctions like Early, Middle, or Late stages.

The God Realm only had Lesser Heavenly, Middle Heavenly, Greater Heavenly, Extreme Heavenly, and Absolute Heavenly positions – five stages within a major realm.

The gap between each stage was equivalent to the gap between several minor realms in the Saint Realm.

Under equal circumstances, within the God Realm, the difference of one Heavenly position could result in the instant annihilation of an opponent.

Moreover, as the realm continuously improved, the gap between each minor realm would become increasingly larger at higher realms, far surpassing what it was at lower realms.

This was also why it became increasingly difficult for cultivators in higher realms to fight across realms.

The Blood Demon Clan experts floated around the mountain, surrounding the peak.

There were many traces of battle left around the mountain.

Clearly, they had attacked more than once.

"Human female cultivator, would you like to consider this Emperor's suggestion?"

In the quiet sky above the island, the Blood Demon Clan Empress, suspended near the mountain, spoke.

"You are well aware of the current situation; continuing like this will not bring you any benefits in the end, and you will only sacrifice your life in vain.

This Emperor knows what innate objects mean to cultivators.

You possess the Wood Bloodline, a natural talent, and have encountered the Innate Source of Wood, which is extremely tempting to you.

But any opportunity requires life to be able to digest it.

If you ultimately meet the end of your life and your Dao disappears, what use is even more Innate Source to you?

Don't blame me for forcibly seizing the Innate Source of Wood.

Our ancestors discovered this object countless ages ago, and our clan has guarded Blood Demon Ridge for generations because of it, preventing others from entering.

We are determined to obtain this Innate Source of Wood, no matter the cost.

Because it concerns the fate of our clan.

Throughout the countless years since ancient times, how can the world understand the torment our clan has endured?

The Innate Source of Wood is the key to solving the problem.

As long as you are willing to give it to us, this Emperor vows not to harm you, and will escort you to the Ice Plains until you leave safely, and you can take anything you fancy from all the resources in our clan's treasury!"

The Blood Demon Clan Empress sincerely negotiated.

As long as they obtained the Innate Source of Wood, everything was worth it to the Blood Demon Clan.

Their desire for this innate object surpassed everything else.

On the mountain peak, under the tree, Lingfei opened her beautiful, clear eyes and looked at the Blood Demon Clan Empress in the distant sky, "You are a remarkable woman, sacrificing so much for your clan, and I sympathize with the Blood Demon Clan's plight.

But I cannot give you this Innate Source of Wood.

In the competition of this great era, opportunities are extremely important. If I give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the loss to me will be unbearable.

The Innate Source of Wood is not only of great use to me, but after I refine it, I can also give this benefit to the person I love most, so…"

"What 'person I love most'!"

Before Lingfei could finish speaking, a cold female voice mixed with anger came from within her body, "How many times has this teacher told you that if you want to become a true powerhouse on the path of cultivation and rise in this great world, you must sever emotions and extinguish all past worldly desires.

Men, love, and all emotions unrelated to cultivation will become obstacles to your refinement and poison in your life!"

At the same time, a blazing soul light flickered between Lingfei's eyebrows, her eyes and expression showing some pain, and then her eyes became somewhat confused.

The Blood Demon Clan experts all showed surprise, and the Empress was also surprised.

She did not expect that the human female cultivator's body actually contained the soul imprint of another person.

From her performance, it could be seen that the soul imprint could have a very strong influence on her mind and thoughts, even having the ability to control her.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie, who was watching all this from afar across the lake, twitched his eyes a few times, and a sharp line bulged out on his face.

No wonder he felt that Lingfei's eyes were strange when he saw the memory screen of the Primordial Plague Demon, giving him a sense of unfamiliarity.

That was a feeling that should not have existed.

Now he finally understood the reason.

A powerhouse had actually planted a soul imprint in her body, using this method to influence her thoughts and state of mind.

If Lingfei's own will was not firm enough, she would have probably been succeeded by the person who planted the soul imprint long ago.

Even so, now, under the influence, under the interference of that soul imprint, she had already developed confusion and was slowly beginning to waver.

The woman who planted the soul imprint in her body claimed to be her master.

When did Lingfei have a master, and who is her master?

There should not be such a strong person in this universe.

After all, Lingfei is already a powerhouse in the God Realm.

Or is it that Lingfei had been to another universe, or a special space that could be connected to other universes, and met her so-called master there, and was forced to become her disciple?
