Chapter 1536 - The Origin of Fire

"That tree is no longer attacking Gu Ying, could it be that it has already eaten its fill?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

The one who spoke was a skinny black clothed man. He was one of the ten representatives chosen by the Zhen Wu Immortal Sect and was also a peak-level sixth level Heavenly Lord Stage expert.

Hearing this, the surrounding cultivators were all stunned.

These words sounded ridiculous, but if one thought about it carefully, it wasn't completely unreasonable. There were at least a thousand of them who had died just now. In such a short period of time, they had devoured more than a thousand of their Heavenly Lords' flesh and soul.

The crowd whispered to each other, and the buzzing sounds spread throughout the crowd.

The more they discussed, the more they felt that the possibility of this happening was extremely high.

The entire process of Tang Huan smoothly walking under the tree was witnessed by everyone. From beginning to end, no one had seen him use any methods, nor did they see him use any treasures.

At first, everyone was stunned, thinking that he had used some sort of secret technique.

But now that he thought about it, it was impossible. No matter how strong a Tier 3 Heavenly Lord was, it was impossible for the black tree to devour him. Since he did not rely on his own strength to reach the bottom of the tree, there was only one possibility — the tree had stopped devouring him.

It was because of this that he was able to remain safe and sound.

This could be considered a lucky strike.

With this thought, many cultivators secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Their brows revealed traces of unconcealable excitement. Since that fellow was able to do it, the others were naturally able to as well. As long as he didn't use his weapon and attacked, he would be able to pass through the tunnel successfully.

Sensing the change in everyone's expressions, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou looked at each other, frowning slightly.

They were not as optimistic as the people around them thought.

Although they had not known Tang Huan for long, they had long ago stopped treating Tang Huan as if she was an ordinary third stage Heavenly Lord. In their eyes, Tang Huan seemed to have many secrets on her body, no matter how great the danger was, he did not seem to care about it at all. In the eyes of the two of them, Tang Huan must have used some unknown method to be able to reach such a place. It was not like they had guessed, but it was like the giant black tree was already full.

"Everyone, I'll go scout for everyone." The skinny man's eyes flickered slightly as he suddenly let out a long laugh and shot forward.

"Brother Li, please wait a moment. I will go too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

In the next moment, several other silhouettes rushed out from the crowd.

When they were within a thousand meters of the tree roots, these cultivators slowed down one by one and advanced forward step by step.

"Phew!" "Whooosh."

A whistle sounded, and several long black whiskers swept over in a frenzy.

He forcefully resisted the urge to attack, but after a short moment, he let out a panicked cry. The tree roots that were sweeping towards him did not show any signs of stopping when they were a few meters away from him.

Many of the Heavenly Monarchs did not even have the time to move their hands before they were caught by their beards and dragged forward.

"Ahh …"

A despairing cry rang out, and in the next instant, four figures were covered by tree roots. Then, several skeletons and dull weapons fell from the sky.

At this moment, the crowd sunk into a deathly silence.

Many of the Heavenly Monarchs who were eager to give it a try felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads.

His previous judgement had been wrong!

The gazes that looked at the figure at the foot of the giant black tree were filled with shock and relief. If they had all rushed up just now, they would probably have all turned into corpses by now. What did that guy do to make the black tree not dare to attack?

At the bottom of the huge tree, Tang Huan looked at the skeleton that had fallen down, and her eyes flashed a look of ridicule.

Those guys could not feel the energy fluctuations from the God Crystal, so they thought that he had only lived to this day because of his luck. In the end, he had done what he had done, and this was no different from courting death.

With that thought, Tang Huan no longer bothered herself with all these, instead she focused on the area in front of him.

The two chains continuously emanated a bizarre aura of power, covering an area dozens of meters in radius.

"It really is the source of fire."

Tang Huan smiled lightly.

The fiery red chain contained the power of fire essence. Although there was no heat emitted from it, the power contained within the chain seemed to be able to melt everything in the world. This was a power that was even purer than fire attribute dao flames.

Of course, before that, he had to finish off this huge black tree.

The black tree's size was enormous, and the power it contained was boundless. However, Tang Huan was different. His "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace" was already in ruins and she needed a huge amount of energy to repair it. This tree that was made of power was just right for him.

In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan had already sat down and pressed both of her palms onto one of the roots of the black tree.

In the next moment, within Tang Huan's Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace", "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" and the forty thousand dao crystals contained in her dao soul started to circulate at nearly the same time. An extremely terrifying amount of sucking power, with Tang Huan's two palms as the center, seeped out and acted on that root hair.

"Wuuuuuu ~ ~ ~"

The huge tree released an ear-piercing sound, countless black beards drooped down, pointed at Tang Huan, and produced sonic booms. It was clear that they had sensed the situation below.

Tang Huan's expression became solemn. Not only did the power of the sucking not weaken, it instead continued to increase.

The reason he chose to use sucking instead of the tree trunk under the chain was very simple. Because of the chains, this root had become the weakest part of the tree, and from this point on, the resistance he faced would be greatly weakened.

If he had chosen to start from a tree trunk, even if he had "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram", Tang Huan didn't think that he would be able to shake the giant tree.

After all, he was only a Tier 3 Heavenly Lord. His cultivation base was still too low when compared to others.

However, when it truly began, even if he had chosen the roots, Tang Huan could feel that the resistance from the giant tree was shockingly strong. Even with the continuous increase in the sucking, not a single strand of power separated out from the roots. Tang Huan was not anxious at all, he continued to operate the furnace, his Nascent Soul and the Mountain and River Painting.
