“What happened just now? Even the Sixth Young Master doesn’t have the family’s array formation key. How did he control the array formation?”
“Oh no, there’s one less aura. One has escaped!”
“Attack together. We can’t let the other one escape!”
“Be careful of the spatial crack in the middle! Don’t touch it!”
The powerful effect of the Earth Command Flag caught the Mu family cultivators off guard. The peach blossom array that reversed sides made them feel troubled.
Fortunately, that strange situation only lasted for 30 breaths of time before the array formation returned to normal.
However, the cultivator who had clearly changed his appearance had already disappeared.
That person had not used any special spell techniques just now, so they did not even know who he was.
With such a cultivator who could control their family’s array formation, it was like a fish bone stuck in their throats.
After this matter, the entire family’s array formation would probably have to be reconstructed.
Otherwise, if such a thing happened again, their entire family might be in danger.
However, the most important thing now was to capture the remaining guy.
This guy was the culprit who had caused such losses to their Ancestor Immortal Peach. No matter what, they had to capture him and let him experience the most terrifying punishment in the world.
Furthermore, they had already smelled that the aura coming from this fellow was the Nine Nether Demon Wood that their family had been searching for for many years.
They did not know if he could calm the patriarch’s anger after offering its tree heart to him.
“Take him down!”
More than 30 Soul Formation cultivators and the Mu family head attacked at the same time.
It was as if a terrifying natural disaster had descended.
The fertile ground was instantly destroyed. The air was compressed into a solid state and shattered by the violent energy.
The most commonly used visual senses of humans had completely lost their effect at this moment. Under the circumstances of high energy concentration, even light could not be maintained in a straight line.
More than 30 experts of the Mu family surrounded the Nine Nether Wood in a ring and continuously blasted out terrifying Yang Wood attribute energy.
The power that could destroy everything collided and compressed in the center, but it could not spread out.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
The extremely compressed energy finally turned into a pillar of light that pierced through the clouds formed from demonic qi above.
After a long time, the chaotic energy gradually dissipated.
A hole was pierced in the sky. The high-energy air formed a phantom like an aurora under the sunlight.
Below the pillar of light was a bottomless hole. The soil and rocks above melted into magma that dripped down. When it touched the underground river that was pierced through below, steam rose.
In this pillar-shaped space, the only thing that could maintain its shape was the small spatial crack.
There was also a lump of charcoal floating in the air.
Under the pressure of the spiritual qi just now, his reversed domain could not withstand it and was directly broken. The entire tree trunk was burned into a lump of charcoal that could not show any signs of life.
“Is the demonic tree dead? Let’s see if its tree heart is still here.”
A Soul Formation cultivator of the Mu family approached the lump of coal floating in the center warily.
He reached out and planned to shatter it to see if there was any tree heart that the patriarch needed.
Crack!
At this moment, a crack appeared on the coal. Then, it suddenly exploded, turning into 99 identical seeds that exploded in all directions.
“Stop all the seeds!”
Needless to say, the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard was definitely not dead yet. His true body must be inside.
They attacked together. The high-speed flying seeds were blocked and shattered, but one seed shot into the narrow spatial crack.
The random crack slowly healed and completely disappeared from this world.
After passing through the spatial crack without any luck, in a blood-colored world, there was a cave. A seed shot in with a whistling sound and collided with the stone wall in the cave, deeply embedded in it.
Around it, some strange-looking monsters were attracted by the sound.
The Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard was overjoyed. After being surrounded by those guys for so long, his losses were already too great. Now, there was a group of weak creatures for it to absorb and quickly recover its combat strength.
The seed in the stone wall immediately shot out and into the body of a monster.
However, this monster was not quickly sucked into a mummy like he had imagined.
Boom!
The monster with two heads that walked upright exploded like a lizard.
The seed that contained the main body of the Nine Nether Wood jumped out in exasperation.
“What is this!”
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and spat it out in time after sucking a mouthful of flesh.
Otherwise, his outcome would only be slightly better than Ancestor Immortal Peach.
The seed floating in the air looked at the surrounding monsters and realized that the aura on their bodies was completely incompatible with the continent of the Nine Provinces.
He could not smell any spiritual qi around him. The world was huge, and he did not know where such a place could exist.
“Hello, welcome to the Asura World.”
At this moment, the spatial crack had completely healed.
Jiang Li, who had arrived first, also walked out from the shadows.
What emitted from his body was the aura of the extremely high-grade blood of madness and the power of chaos.
Apart from being not so strange-looking, he looked completely like a high-level Asura.
Jiang Li possessed the Nine Nether Asura qi.
When he was in the continent of the Nine Provinces previously, he basically displayed a focus on spiritual qi.
As long as he was willing, he could completely display the characteristics of the chaotic power of the Asura World.
In the eyes of the creatures of this world, they might even think that he was a noble Asura Lord.
“It’s you! Delicious nutrients, since you delivered yourself to my door, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Although the aura on Jiang Li’s body had changed drastically, the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard still recognized him immediately.
When he entered the spatial crack earlier, besides using this to escape, he also had the intention of capturing Jiang Li and swallowing him.
Green-black spiritual qi spat out, and the entire seed flew towards Jiang Li.
However, what appeared in front of him was a pale cold flame.
The Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard was shocked. It hurriedly turned around and smashed into the stone wall on the other side.
“It’s you! You’re the other one!”
A shocked voice sounded from next door.
Only at this moment did he truly recognize Jiang Li.
Jiang Li had been enduring it for so long before this, and he was unwilling to use the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame even if he was suppressed by it. He was afraid that the other party would recognize him and not dare to follow him into the spatial crack.
Now that he was here, there was no place for him in the entire world. As long as Jiang Li did not agree, it was basically impossible for him to return.
Therefore, there was no need to hide it anymore.
After recognizing Jiang Li, or rather, recognizing his flames, the seed did not say anything and bounced out of the stone wall, quickly shooting towards the outside of the cave.
Wherever it passed, the monsters of the Asura World blocked and attacked, but they were all pierced by the seeds.
These cannon fodder summoned from the wilderness were not his match at all.
However, the blood of madness in their bodies still caused a lot of trouble for the Nine Nether Wood.
In order to not be corroded by this kind of dirty and crazy blood, he could only continuously expend spiritual qi to form a barrier on the surface of his body.
However, in this world, there was no such thing as recovery without spiritual qi.
Previously, he had been surrounded and beaten up by the Mu family for a long time and had even suffered the final blow. His physical condition had actually fallen to the worst situation in hundreds of years.
Now, he was only expending without recovering. Even if his foundation was deep, it would be exhausted sooner or later.
This was Jiang Li’s plan. He was not in a hurry and followed closely behind.
With the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame in hand, Jiang Li basically had no possibility of defeat.
However, the other party was indeed powerful. If they collided head-on now, it was inevitable that it would be like last time. They would ignite the other party’s tree heart and burn it back to its original state.
That was an accumulation of at least a thousand years. It was a pity to burn it like this.
Moreover, Yan Hong and some of the people in the Hidden Rock Army were still in his hands. If he killed them directly, he would not even have a place to find them.
In next to no time, the seed formed from the Nine Nether Wood flew out from the hidden cave where the yaksha clone had built the blood pool.
He had originally thought that this strange environment was only a trap specially created by Jiang Li. As long as he left a certain range, he could escape.
However, the surrounding wilderness was covered in such a blood-colored desert, every wisp of air in the air was not familiar to him.
It was impossible for anyone to make such a trap. Could this really be another world?
Before he could hesitate, a pale flaming snake shot out of the cave and chased after his butt. It was a tongue of fire.
He had already experienced the power of this flame before its color changed. Once it was tainted, this life and the thousand years of accumulation would probably be buried here.
Although it was a completely unknown world, no matter how terrifying it was, it was still much better than the fire snake behind him.
He turned into a green-black stream of light and flew into the distance in any direction.
A fire snake and sword light chased relentlessly from behind.
Apart from the reversed domain of the Back Yin Mountain, Jiang Li basically knew everything about the Nine Nether Wood.
The Nine Nether Wood was good at the Nine Nether escape technique and could be more agile than fish under the ground. In ancient times, if one cultivated it to the depths, they could even use it to descend into the Netherworld.
However, the land of the Asura World was not suitable for escape techniques powered by spiritual qi.
How could a piece of wood that had taken root in the ground for more than a thousand years be good at flying?
Especially in the Asura World where there was no spiritual qi at all, anything controlled by spiritual qi was suppressed.
He could only use the most primitive method to spew spiritual qi in the opposite direction.
This method was not the fastest, and it was unable to shake off Jiang Li who possessed the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword. Furthermore, the expenditure was extremely shocking.
Jiang Li had precisely thought of this. His body turned into a sword as he followed closely behind. From time to time, he would release the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame to continuously pressure the other party.
On the bloody plains filled with killing everywhere, two figures were flying at high speed.
A group of huge blood-colored vultures with seven or eight lumps on their heads smelled the aura of the Nine Nether spiritual qi and enveloped them like a blood-colored dark cloud.
However, they completely ignored Jiang Li who was like a high-level Asura and only stared fixedly at the seed that was flying.
Countless sharp claws and beaks pounced at the seed, but they were easily shattered by the small seed.
Clusters of flesh and blood exploded in the air, causing a small rain of blood to fall on the plains.
After killing more than a hundred strange birds in a row, the Nine Nether Wood finally broke through the encirclement and continued to escape into the distance.
However, his speed decreased again.
This situation of chasing and fleeing had already lasted for three days.
Even a reservoir could not withstand such an open floodgate.
The spiritual qi reserves in the body of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard had already fallen to an extremely dangerous level.
He knew that with his speed, he definitely could not escape like this.
However, he had been burned by the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame earlier and really did not want to fight head-on.
He could only rely on his deep background to crush Jiang Li in this way.
After consuming most of Jiang Li’s spiritual qi, the terrifying flames might not be able to be used.
However, after chasing for three days without stopping at all, even this old piece of wood that had accumulated for a thousand years was already close to death. Yet, this kid could actually still persist?
Although this guy was also from the Nine Nether Branch, he was still a sapling a few months ago.
Where did such an exaggerated spiritual qi reserve come from?
No more running!
Even if this fellow clansman still had spiritual qi, he must be an arrow at the end of its flight! He might not necessarily lose.
The Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard made up its mind and stopped shooting forward.
Instead, it swelled from a seed the size of a mahjong tile to a wooden humanoid shape.
With a wave of his hand, five tree vines that were thousands of feet tall tore through the air and lashed over.
Sure enough, Jiang Li was no longer using the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.
Instead, he struck out five Nine Nether Demon Hands from behind and collided with it.
The two attacks collided in the air, and the vine whip and wooden hand shattered into pieces.
This time, Jiang Li had the enormous advantage of terrain, and both sides could only fight to a draw. It could be seen that there was still a considerable gap in strength between him and his opponent.
But that was good.
“You really can’t use that kind of flame anymore!”
“Come! We’re both Nine Nether Branches! Let us devour each other! This is our destiny!”
When he saw that Jiang Li no longer used the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, the battle intent of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard was reignited. The spiritual qi that he had been saving was no longer stingy, and it transformed into his main body, a Nine Nether Giant Wood that was born in reverse.
Jiang Li was similarly not afraid of him. He pressed his palms together and mixed energy surged out.
Nine Nether! True Several Thousand Hands! Top Transformed Asura!
Under his summoning, a huge Asura Demon Idol rose from the ground and smashed towards the huge tree opposite with a thousand hands on its back.
The Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard thought that both sides were exhausted, but in fact, Jiang Li’s condition was far from as bad as he had imagined.
The spiritual qi in his body was completely filled. He could even instill a large amount of top-grade dual-colored energy into the Yin Burial Coffin at all times.
Comparing endurance with someone who was not even afraid of the Cultivationless Age was the greatest mistake of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard.
