Chapter 552: 552 Chasing Ghosts
The power of the Divine Tree Seed is both easy and difficult to deal with.
Its power is strong, but not as oppressive as that previous flesh-and-blood giant mountain.
Because its power is too dispersed, not concentrated.
Previously, Ren Tianying's plan was actually not problematic; to have someone lure out the Divine Tree while he looked for an opportunity to stealthily dig out the Divine Tree Seed.
Now, Wen Tingyun's plan is more detailed, with even fewer issues.
However, dealing with such ancient evil artifacts, no matter how precise your calculations are, there will definitely be issues arising.
At this moment, the densely packed blood-red eyes on the tree trunk have completely locked onto Han Zheng.
It is not a physical lock, but rather Han Zheng's three souls and seven spirits have been locked by the opponent, the chill emanating abruptly from deep within his heart.
The next moment, endless blood light radiated from those countless eyes, and wherever it went, whether it was Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi or Origin Power, it was dissolved before this power!
Yan Xuankong's expression changed suddenly, no longer holding back his Incense Flame Divine Power, he threw a punch, and a massive golden fist seal smashed onto the tree trunk instantly.
A large quantity of pus and blood spewed out, but it did not stop the blood light from attacking Han Zheng.
Moreover, this power could not be broken even by Yan Xuankong's Incense Flame Divine Power, in the blink of an eye it was already before Han Zheng!
"Power of Primordial Spirit! This power is the Power of Primordial Spirit!"
Yan Xuankong suddenly shouted.
His Incense Flame Divine Power was almost invincible, an overwhelming existence against any other power.
The fact that Incense Flame Divine Power couldn't affect this blood light demonstrates only one thing.
Either the power of the Divine Tree Seed is comparable to God Demons, making Incense Flame Divine Power unable to suppress it.
Or the power of the Divine Tree Seed is on the primordial spiritual level, limiting the suppressive power of Incense Flame Divine Power.
The former possibility is small.
Because if this Divine Tree Seed truly had power attributes comparable to God Demons, the subsequent generations of Youxin Country's kings wouldn't continue to delve into those sinister secret techniques.
As Yan Xuankong's words fell, Han Zheng pinched a seal technique, and the magnificent, vigorous Gang Qi Essence around him suddenly burst forth.
An Ape Demon Illusion appeared behind Han Zheng, pinching a seal technique, and a very mysterious power fluctuation rippled around him.
The previous Ape Demon Nine Transformations were all magnificent and fierce.
But at this moment, as the Ape Demon Illusion stamped down, it contained a Mysterious Power within, even causing everyone's divine souls to tremble.
Ape Demon Nine Transformations, Chasing Ghosts!
As that seal landed, the blood light instantly collapsed, the power was completely shattered.
The Divine Tree let out a shrill howl, countless pairs of blood-red eyes on the tree trunk almost all exploded simultaneously, instantly spreading blood everywhere.
Expel God and Chasing Ghosts are two of the most extraordinary Ape Demon Nine Transformations Han Zheng mastered.
These two Ape Demon Nine Transformations have almost no effect on the flesh, but have the greatest effect on the Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Body.
Expel God to expel Yang God, Chasing Ghosts to drive Yin God.
This thing in front of them certainly doesn't count as a Martial Artist's Yang God, so Han Zheng simply treats it as a Yin God, making a desperate attempt.
And it doesn't matter even if he gambles wrong.
Han Zheng's Yang God Body is now covered with countless golden lights, turning it into a small gold figure.
Even the foundation of Han Zheng's Yang God Power is not at all inferior to those truly in the Yang God Realm.
Even if this strike can't seriously wound the Divine Tree, Han Zheng is confident in protecting himself.
In an instant, the Divine Tree let out a wail, all its vines trying to retract with the fastest speed.
But Han Zheng pinched a seal technique, the Great Brahma Heavenly God King Seal slammed down, each time reducing a bunch of vines to ash.
Xu Cunbao and others also hurriedly attacked the vines, preventing them from returning to the main body.
Han Zheng took a deep breath, in his hand the Heavenly Demon Transformation's Demon Sword essence and Killing Intent origin fused, forming the Fengdu Demon Sword.
As the Yama Slash fell, it could instantly take away a large mass of blood-colored vines.
Almost in a flash, Han Zheng had already reached in front of the Divine Tree.
At this time, all the eyes on the opponent's tree trunk had exploded, and the human head fruits and vines had also been significantly cleared by Yan Xuankong and others, now its aura had withered to the extreme.
Han Zheng reached out a hand, the Ape Demon Illusion surfaced behind him, roaring at the heavens.
Ape Demon Nine Transformations, Moving Mountain!
The massive Divine Tree was directly pinched in hand by Han Zheng, who performed the Moving Mountain, while another giant Gang Qi hand reached out, forcibly tearing the Divine Tree Seed from the Divine Tree's body!
In an instant, the originally incredibly vast Divine Tree began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, ultimately losing all life.
And the Divine Tree Seed held in Han Zheng's hand remained as pristine as new, emitting a hazy, holy light, exuding extremely dense vitality.
Wen Tingyun walked over, showing an apologetic expression, "I didn't foresee it, I didn't expect this thing to have this kind of superpower."
Han Zheng shook his head, "It's alright, most people wouldn't figure it out, each of these ancient evil artifacts is infinitely strange, who knows what abilities they have."
Xu Cunbao also consoled, "Xiao Wen, you've already calculated plenty, without you, we'd be like blind men in this relic."
As he spoke, Xu Cunbao looked toward Yan Xuankong and asked, "Who is this?"
Anyone fighting side by side with them must also be on their side, Xu Cunbao felt the other's aura was very familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.
Wen Tingyun introduced, "This is Xiahou Xuan, the Garrison Commander of our Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department from five hundred years ago.
Back then, Garrison Commander Xiahou fought a bloody battle against the three Great Demon Kings and disappeared in the end. We all thought Garrison Commander Xiahou went missing, but we didn't expect that Garrison Commander Xiahou had accidentally entered the relic and obtained a chance, living until now."
Xu Cunbao immediately showed respect upon hearing this, "So it turns out to be Garrison Commander Xiahou, my apologies.
While you garrisoned Southern Mountain, you suppressed the Martial World, vanquishing demons, and made sure that in any place with the slightest sign of demonic disturbance, you would intervene to suppress it.
It's safe to say that because of your diligent eradication of demons, your tenure was the most peaceful time in Southern Mountain in the last thousand years.
Even when you were besieged by the three Demon Kings, it was because you pushed those demons to the extreme that they were forced to act desperately.
You devoted your life to Southern Mountain, if you had truly ended up with no remains, that would have been a real pity. Fortunately, heaven has eyes, granting you this opportunity."
Xiahou Xuan was Xu Cunbao's idol when he first entered the Demon Cleansing Bureau, and seeing the real person now made him excited like those young girls chasing stars.
Yan Xuankong smiled, assuming a modest demeanor, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, I believe the Garrison Commanders after me have done very well too."
Xu Cunbao nodded, "Although our Southern Mountain is not a major place, the Garrison Commanders after you have also been quite good, we even had talents as brilliant as Garrison Commander Chen Baxian.
Apart from that Ren Tianying and the distant past Garrison Commander Yan Xuankong being somewhat unreliable, the rest can be said to be diligent and capable."
Yan Xuankong: "..."
Although he very much wanted to bash this old fellow Xu Cunbao, he could only endure, forcing a couple of awkward laughs.
"This Ren Tianying is short-sighted, narrow-minded and without a baseline, and I've heard from Young Friend Han about Yan Xuankong's reputation, to compare him with the likes of Ren Tianying is a bit excessive."
Xu Cunbao waved casually, "They're all similar quality, compared to you, Lord Xiahou, they're nothing more than moths to a flame."
Yan Xuankong maintained a stiff smile, but inside he wished to carve up Xu Cunbao.
Back then, he certainly didn't treat this old fellow poorly, and now he dared to criticize him like this!
Han Zheng held back his laughter on the side, he didn't intervene to stop Xu Cunbao from continuing.
Yan Xuankong, despite being angry, wouldn't resort to violence.
Thankfully, Xu Cunbao changed the subject in time.
"By the way, this Divine Tree Seed is a treasure, Ren Tianying even wanted to use it to enter the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
Han Zheng, you happen to be able to refine it now, if you manage to enter the Yang God Realm, you'll have more assurance in facing the Ruyi Heavenly God Venerate and the dangers within this Ancient Country Ruins."
