Chapter 96 Mountain Treasure Acquired, Qiongqi Slain, Fire Emperor Pleads for Mercy!
Boom!!!
Deep in the wilderness, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!
The pure white bone fragment, shrouded in chaotic energy, floated in the void, stirring the desires of the three Venerable-level beings.
They were too hasty and too arrogant.
In their eyes, the charred old tree standing next to Shanbao, with only a single willow branch remaining, was nothing more than a plant spirit oblivious to its fate.
"roar!!"
Zhu Yan was the first to attack, swinging its towering iron cudgel so fiercely that the void shattered like a mirror under its blow.
The iron rod, imbued with immense divine power and carrying a surge of golden blood energy, slammed down fiercely onto the willow tree below!
At the same time, Qiongqi also swooped down from the sky.
It opened its mouth and roared, and a black demonic light powerful enough to corrode mountains and rivers burst forth instantly, with a wisp of its aura even spreading to the distant Stone Village.
Although the Vermilion Bird possesses divinity, it cannot back down in the face of supreme treasures.
With a flap of its wings, a fiery inferno descended from the sky, transforming into a crimson inferno, intent on completely refining this world!
One strike! One flash! One burst of fire!
The combined full force of the three ferocious beasts would be enough to terrify even an emperor of an ancient kingdom.
Inside Stone Village, the villagers were already paralyzed with fear. Even through the green light barrier, the terrifying feeling still made them feel suffocated.
Qian Renxue, standing to the side, gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, forgetting to eat the piece of meat in her hand, wanting to look but not daring to.
However, just as that devastating blow was about to land.
The charred willow tree finally moved.
A green willow branch that was originally drooping and swaying gently in the breeze suddenly and without warning shot upwards!
Then he swept his hand lightly across the sky filled with flames.
"bite!"
A crisp sound rang out, and when the seemingly delicate willow branch touched Zhu Yan's iron rod, it suddenly burst forth with a burst of emerald light!
The malevolent aura on the iron rod was instantly dispelled!
"roar?!"
Seeing this, Zhu Yan was also shaken back a few steps by the huge recoil force, his golden eyes filled with surprise.
However, before it could react, the willow branch flew over again, instantly wrapping around it and completely ignoring its indestructible physical defenses, binding its massive body tightly!
"Bang!"
Then, the willow branch was gently flicked.
The golden divine ape with its head reaching the sky was thrown out and crashed into the Qiongqi on the other side!
"What?!"
Qiongqi was shocked and hurriedly folded its wings to try to escape, but the willow branch was too fast, faster than the limits of time!
"Pfft!"
A flash of green light, and the willow branch, like a sword, easily pierced through Qiongqi's chest covered with hard scales!
Black demonic blood gushed out instantly, cascading into the sky like a black waterfall.
Every drop of blood that fell corroded a huge, deep pit in the earth.
"roar!!"
Qiongqi let out a miserable scream. It tried to escape, but it was too late.
"If you commit murder, you must repay it with your life."
A clear, cold voice rang out, and then Liu Zhi trembled violently as a terrifying burst of lightning power erupted from the wound!
"Boom!"
And so, the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, which was infamous in the Great Wilderness and had devoured countless lives, was blown into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air before even its primordial spirit could escape!
One strike!
An ancient pure-blooded ferocious beast, a Venerable-level being, has fallen!
This bloody scene also startled the remaining Zhu Yan and Zhu Que.
I initially thought it was just a sick willow, but who knew it would be so strong?!
"Chirp!"
The Vermilion Bird looked up to the sky and let out a mournful cry.
Because it discovered that its proud divine fire could not burn at all in front of the willow branch.
It wanted to spread its wings and fly high, but found that the space of this world had already been sealed off by that faint greenery.
"Smack!"
The willow branch lashed out again, striking the Vermilion Bird hard on the back.
In an instant, the divine fire scattered, and countless crimson feathers flew everywhere.
The proud divine bird had its spine broken, and it fell from the sky with a mournful cry, crashing heavily to the ground and smashing a stone mountain into dust.
Meanwhile, the bound Zhu Yan was still struggling frantically, trying to unleash its magical technique of having three heads and six arms.
But the willow branches only tightened slightly.
"Snap!"
Zhu Yan's bones cracked and popped, and his divine power was instantly imprisoned.
With a flick of the willow branch, its enormous body rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a tiny monkey no bigger than a palm, which was then thrown at the entrance of Stone Village.
"Buzz..."
Even after doing all that, the willow branch did not stop.
With a gentle roll, it pulled the mountain treasure, which was still floating in the void, back to its original position.
Then, with another sweep, the abysses and collapsed mountains on the earth, shattered by the aftershocks of the battle, slowly healed in the green light.
Even the spreading sea of lava was instantly calmed down and transformed back into fertile soil.
All things follow the will of the mind, capable of changing the world!
This is the true supreme divine power!
"..."
The world was utterly silent.
Only the heavy breathing of the villagers could be heard.
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, looking at the dreamlike scene before her, at the two ancient ferocious beasts lying on the ground like dead dogs, and at the Qiongqi blood rain falling from the sky.
They were utterly shocked.
"This is... the High Priest?"
"Can a single branch kill Qiongqi, suppress Zhuyan, and cripple Zhuque?"
"Oh my god!"
...
After Liu Shen forcefully suppressed the three Venerable-level beings, other restless entities in the Eight Domains dared not take any further action.
At the same time, people from Demon Spirit Lake, Rain Clan, Stone Kingdom, and others all hesitated and began to consider their options.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was finally over, a crimson rainbow streaked rapidly across the distant horizon.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery red imperial robe, surrounded by a rich imperial dragon aura. Although not as domineering as the Stone Emperor, he possessed a greater sense of holiness and majesty.
It is none other than the Emperor of the Fire Kingdom!
The Fire Kingdom's Emperor looked down at the tragic scene below, especially at the dying Vermilion Bird, and his eyes were filled with horror.
But he didn't dare to act rashly. Instead, he stopped a hundred miles away from Stone Village and respectfully bowed to the charred willow tree.
"This junior, the Emperor of the Fire Kingdom, pays respects to the senior!"
"This Vermilion Bird is the sacred spirit of my Fire Kingdom. Although I was momentarily blinded by greed and offended my predecessor, I will remember that it has protected my race for ten thousand years..."
"Please, senior, spare its life!"
A human emperor who ruled over an endless territory was now pleading for mercy as humbly as a junior.
However, the willow tree remained silent and did not respond immediately.
After a long while, the willow branch gently pointed at the half-dead little red bird.
"The death penalty may be waived, but punishment is inescapable."
"Considering that it possesses divine fire, it can be kept as a guardian bird of the village, guarding my gate for a hundred years."
"And he left behind the precious techniques of the Vermilion Bird Clan for my disciple to see."
"Do you... have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, the Fire Emperor immediately frowned.
But seeing the spirit's pained expression, after a brief hesitation, he bowed deeply once more:
"Thank you, senior..."
"We dare not have any objections."
