Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 717 - 711: Hunting the Wood Spirit

"Sister, let’s go hunt Wood Spirits too."

Ye Xuan looked around at the thick Spiritual Energy that permeated the air. He could sense that in a certain direction, the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy was intense, implying that there were likely more Wood Spirits in that area, and the chances of finding rare treasures would be greater.

"Let’s go!"

Zuo Lingyun nodded, their primary objective for this trip was to gather points, and it was clear that hunting Wood Spirits and Demon Beasts outside Martial God Mountain was one of the major ways to acquire points.

After Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun left, Yu Tiancheng also glanced in Ye Xuan’s direction, soon a cold intent flickered in his eyes, "This kid has three thousand initial points on him. If I could get all of them, entering the Martial God Tower would be highly hopeful."

"But since he and I are on the same team, I can’t just recklessly attack him, I must find a suitable opportunity."

Yu Tiancheng secretly calculated in his heart. Hunting Demon Beasts and Wood Spirits could indeed earn points, but it was too slow. If he didn’t take a shortcut, there was no chance to enter the Martial God Tower.

In his view, Ye Xuan wouldn’t be able to hold on to his points anyway. Rather than letting someone else benefit, it might as well be him.

At this time, Ye Xuan and Zuo Lingyun had already arrived in another area of the plain, which was a forest. The towering Ancient Trees exuded an ancient life force, their presence giving off an ingrained sense of time.

"These are Heavenly Spirit Trees, a very high-level Spirit Tree. It is said they can generate nature’s spiritual energy, no wonder the Spiritual Energy here is so rich. If only these trees could be transported, I would have liked to take them away." Zuo Lingyun’s eyes brightened as she gazed at those ancient trees.

Once a Heavenly Spirit Ancient Tree takes root, it cannot leave that bit of land; otherwise, it will certainly wither.

"Over there is an Ancient God Tree, also a very rare type of Spirit Wood."

Zuo Lingyun looked in another direction, where indeed there was an eye-catching purple tree standing out with its vivid color.

"The person who planted these trees must possess immense Divine Skills."

Ye Xuan didn’t believe these trees had grown on their own. The Martial God Mountain must have been modified several times; otherwise, it wouldn’t have turned into such a colossal training ground.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Suddenly, a strange rustling sound came from nearby. Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened slightly. Although the noise was faint, it carried the fluctuation of a life force.

"What’s wrong?"

Zuo Lingyun looked at Ye Xuan, somewhat surprised, not knowing why he reacted so abruptly.

"Watch out!"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan pushed Zuo Lingyun away, as he suddenly looked behind him, only to see the towering ancient trees begin to move. Their branches extended, turning into black tendrils like tentacles sweeping towards the two of them.

"It’s a Tree-man!"

Ye Xuan’s pupils narrowed slightly. Wood Spirits were just plants with Spiritual Wisdom, but Tree-men were a notch above Wood Spirits. Moreover, Tree-men were also a race in ancient times, although they had always been weak, unable to compare to the larger clans like the Demon Clan or Evil Dragon Clan.

"Evildoer!"

Zuo Lingyun drew her Phoenix Pattern Exquisite Sword and slashed through the tendrils, then her body fluttered lightly like a swallow as she swiftly moved in front of the Tree-man, thrusting her sword into its trunk.

However, when the sword pierced into the Tree-man King, there was no reaction; it just kept making chaotic noises, seemingly becoming more berserk. The ground beneath Zuo Lingyun’s feet cracked open, and a multitude of complex roots spread out, entangling and trapping her within.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s foot tapped gently on the ground as if without a sound, and the movements of his hands were barely audible. As soon as he moved, the Rain Saint Sword had already penetrated the Tree-man King’s body, and red liquid sprayed out, resembling fresh blood.

After that sword thrust from Ye Xuan, the Tree-man King’s movements stiffened, and the roots that had entangled Zuo Lingyun also disintegrated.

"Tree-men, although massive in size, are like ordinary people; they also have vital points. If you strike at those points, you can kill them in one blow," Ye Xuan said as he withdrew the Rain Saint Sword. Then, with a thunderous crash, the Tree-man King heavily fell down.

"Ye Xuan, how are you so knowledgeable about Tree-men?"

Zuo Lingyun was astonished. Ye Xuan came from another Spirit Domain and logically should know nothing about the Central Domain, yet he seemed to know more than even she did.

"I once read about them in a book," Ye Xuan replied casually, as Tree-men still existed in the Heavenly Realm, so naturally he had some knowledge of them.

After killing this Tree-man King, Ye Xuan’s record crystal stone began to flicker, and his points increased by ten.

"A Tree-man King is worth only ten points."

Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless; however, after taking down this Tree-man King, he had also absorbed a wisp of the Tree-man King’s essence, which indeed greatly benefited his Cultivation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Just as Ye Xuan had dealt with that Tree-man King, the other ancient trees in the area suddenly wriggled to life, growing limbs and amassing in large numbers, shaping up like an army of Tree-men.

At the same time, the treasures of the forest transformed into human shapes, a sight of tremendous force.

"This... It seems we’ve stumbled into a den of Tree-men."

Zuo Lingyun’s expression went blank with astonishment as the scale of Tree-men was quite horrific. With such an imposing presence, their entire team would likely be crushed if they faced it.

"Humans, for trespassing on Tree-men territory, death is the only path!"

In the midst of the Tree-men and Wood Spirits, there was an exceptionally large Tree-man King who could speak human language and emanated an exceptionally profound aura, on par with a human’s Martial Saint Realm.

"This Tree-man King must be the leader of these Tree-men, right?" Zuo Lingyun said, gripping her Phoenix Pattern Exquisite Sword with a grave expression.

"It’s the Tree-man King. Capture the leader first to defeat the followers. If we kill this Tree-man King, the others will lose their leader and become disorganized, allowing us to leave safely," Ye Xuan suggested, his gaze locked on the enormous Tree-man King. It was clear that this Tree-man had the highest Spiritual Wisdom, and all the other Tree-men were under its command. If they could take it down first, they would have resolved half of the problem.

"But with so many Tree-men protecting it, there’s no way we can get through. We’d probably be exhausted before we even reached the Tree-man King," Zuo Lingyun frowned, considering the difficulty of the task despite it sounding simple.

"Watch me."

Ye Xuan already had a plan. He turned over his palm and took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun Ring. Upon opening the lid, he poured a bunch of green powder into the air. A rich medicinal scent immediately diffused throughout the air.

Watching Ye Xuan’s actions, Zuo Lingyun’s face became somewhat puzzled. However, the Tree-men, after smelling this scent, were like a miser who had discovered gold, becoming intoxicated by the fragrance. Then, they collapsed one by one to the ground, a whole swath of them falling in unison.
