The body of the Demon Lord of Withered Wood went limp, his Elixir Core’s magic stagnated, and he lost consciousness as his vision went black.

A rather stout demonic branch pierced through his body, instantly draining his blood and essence.

It took only a few breaths of time.

The Demon Lord of Withered Wood turned into a desiccated corpse, tightly bound by that stout demonic branch.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

What he saw before his eyes was like a scene from hell.

He felt not a shred of grief for the demise of the Demon Lord of Withered Wood.

In this manner, Fellow Daoist Cui Yun would be even less inclined to turn against him.

Mu Ling’Er was much safer.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, you help me hold off this demon tree, and after picking the Dragon Bone Fruit, I’ll give you half!"

Fellow Daoist Cui Yun said through gritted teeth.

He struggled quite a bit in his skirmish with the main branches of the demon tree.

He had no choice but to up the stakes.

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Cui Yun, you focus your attacks on this tree, and I’ll go pick the Dragon Bone Fruit."

"Once successful, no matter how many, I’ll share half with you."

He didn’t intentionally lower Fellow Daoist Cui Yun’s share.

It’s just that this demon tree had clearly taken form, its magic was abundant, its capabilities were impressive. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Shen Xuan was unwilling to risk himself by confronting the demon tree directly.

Fellow Daoist Cui Yun fell silent.

Clearly, he was weighing his options internally.

"I have a Divine Power that allows Concealing Breath Invisibility, making picking the Dragon Bone Fruit more convenient than for Fellow Daoist Cui Yun."

Shen Xuan explained.

Fellow Daoist Cui Yun pondered for a few breaths, seeing the demon tree’s attacks growing more fierce.

"Alright! Let’s settle it this way!"

The moment these words dropped.

Fellow Daoist Cui Yun shouted out loud.

The aura on his body grew stronger once more.

This time, he held nothing back.

A flash of bloodlight streaked through Fellow Daoist Cui Yun’s eyes as he unleashed his true Late Stage Holy Pill powers, the Blood Flood Dragon Tower in hand swelled with the wind, eight Blood Flood Dragons transformed into dragon forms, carrying overwhelming blood and fierce energy as they launched a sturdy attack towards the main demonic branches of the Soul-devouring Dragon Bone Tree.

At the same time, the three thousand silvery strands of his dust-wiping tool stood upright, infused with pure Demon Essence, transforming into a sharp white light, cutting across the sky to strike the swaying demonic branches.

"Boom!"

The Blood Flood Dragons clashed fiercely with the main demonic branches, emitting a deafening sound.

The ground tore open with countless chasms, blood and broken branches splattered like raindrops.

The demon tree trembled violently, its bark burst open, oozing more black sticky liquid.

The clinking sound of metal and iron was continuous, as glaring sparks and fragments of demonic qi shot sporadically.

Fellow Daoist Cui Yun resembled a Demon God, standing tall amidst the demon branches’ widespread attacks, without budging while his dust tool swept across, continuously severing demon branches that let out piercing screams as they fell to the ground, twisting endlessly.

The Soul-devouring Dragon Bone Tree frantically absorbed surrounding demonic qi, with demonic qi surging from the severed branches, new branches rapidly grew and spread.

The claws gripping them exploded one after another, transforming into streaks of filth-ridden magic power, sweeping towards Fellow Daoist Cui Yun.

"It’s about time, Fellow Daoist Cui Yun has used his ultimate skill,"

"This Soul-devouring Dragon Bone Tree resembles a Tier Three Upper Grade demon beast. However, it hasn’t fully awakened its spirit yet, so..."

To play it safe, Shen Xuan, after Concealing Breath Invisibility, summoned that two-headed Flood Dragon Snake corpse beast.

"Hmm, Tier Two Top Grade, exchanging some Dragon Bone Fruit, guess it’s a good deal for you."

The two-headed Flood Dragon Snake was ten zhang long, weighing over a thousand jin.

Shen Xuan sat atop it, inconspicuous.

"Go!"

Under the control of Divine Soul.

The two-headed Flood Dragon Snake soared into the air.

Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of the Soul-devouring Dragon Bone Tree.

Soon, countless demonic branches waved towards them.

The two-headed Flood Dragon Snake was the descendant of the Fierce Beast Nine Babies, both heads simultaneously spewed ferocious water and wicked fire.

"Sizzle" sounds continually echoed.

The demonic branches remained fearless, seemingly impervious to water and fire, sticking and winding around the two-headed Flood Dragon Snake.

Even as the two-headed Flood Dragon Snake flashed a Golden Body, its demonic body as Solid as a Rock, it still couldn’t withstand.

The tip of the demonic branches, sharp like a long needle, stabbed into the body of the two-headed Flood Dragon Snake.

Blood-like demonic liquid seeped in.

Soon, the demonic body’s toughness of the two-headed Flood Dragon Snake started to soften.

The Soul-devouring Dragon Bone Tree’s liquid inherently carried powerful corrosive properties.

Under the layered attacks of demonic branches, the Tier Two Top Grade Golden Corpse Beast, the two-headed Flood Dragon Snake’s incredibly tough serpent body gradually melted away.

A serpent body over ten zhang long was swallowed up by countless demonic branches.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, with concealed form, seized the moment and gap, transforming into a green flash, suddenly appearing at the lushest branches and leaves of the demon tree.

This was also the area with the most Dragon Bone Fruit.
