Chapter 509: Young’er Returns

Xiao Shou immediately transmitted, "Fortunately, they only know about Little Black’s ability. We were far away just now, so they didn’t see the power of Eternal Darkness."

"But the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame can no longer be used to set a trap. Eternal Darkness is also unsuitable for hiding within spiritual energy techniques. Even if we had a suitable technique to conceal it, he definitely would not allow it to get close to him. Eternal Darkness cannot display its power unless it comes into contact with him. What should we do?"

In his helplessness, Tushan Shanhe actually forgot about their difference in seniority and asked Xiao Shou for advice.

Xiao Shou did not disappoint him.

He had a peculiar ability where the more dangerous the situation became, the more inspiration seemed to flash through his mind. At this critical moment, countless ideas suddenly surged through his thoughts.

After hearing Tushan Shanhe’s question, he immediately said, "I have another method. However, this method may require you to hold out for one breath after he breaks through the Little Black fireball."

"Good! He’s coming. Hurry up."

At this critical moment, Tushan Shanhe had no time to ask Xiao Shou what his method was.

Sensing that Chenhan was no longer using close-range attacks, Tushan Shanhe immediately controlled twelve crescent-shaped immortal swords. Carrying overwhelming force and endless immortal power, they simultaneously slashed down toward the sphere of Terrestrial Fox Black Flame where the two were hiding.

At the same time, he immediately gathered all his spiritual energy, preparing for what would happen next.

Although the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame had advanced to the Immortal grade, it was only Tier 1 Immortal grade. Moreover, it was not a defensive spiritual flame.

Faced with an attack at the Immortal King level, equivalent to Tier 8 Immortal grade, it could only barely withstand half a strike before its defenses were broken through.

The next moment, Tushan Shanhe used the secret technique of the Tushan Clan and manifested an enormous silver-white nine-tailed Terrestrial Fox Dharma Form, which pounced toward Chenhan.

Just then, an enormous tree suddenly burst forth from the Infernal Sky Continent of the Heaven Origin Realm.

No! It could no longer be described as a towering tree. It was an osmanthus tree that continued growing without end. In the blink of an eye, countless roots spread out, turning the shattered, inverted Heaven Origin Realm upright again. The roots formed an enormous sphere, enclosing the entire realm and cutting off the invasion of the strange energy from the void.

No, that was not all. The tree was actually absorbing vast quantities of strange energy from the void. At the same time, its branches were as supple as whips. Countless branches stretched outward, instantly lashing toward Immortal King Chenhan, who now possessed only his Immortal Nascent Soul, as well as the countless streams of blade energy he had launched at Xiao Shou and Tushan Shanhe.

In an instant, the branches shattered all those streams of blade energy. Even the overbearing, seemingly invincible Immortal King Chenhan was forced to retreat again and again.

Watching this scene, Xiao Shou was momentarily stunned. Yet he sensed a familiar aura from the enormous tree standing tall in the void. His eyes immediately reddened, and he whispered, "Young’er!"

"Master, I’m late."

Just as Xiao Shou called out to his beloved disciple, an osmanthus tree sprouted from the ground behind him. A figure emerged from within the tree and embraced him from behind, pouring an endless stream of life force into his body.

As the life force flowed into him, Xiao Shou’s complexion improved considerably. Feeling the familiar warmth and aura against his back, he suddenly felt like crying. Suppressing his emotions, he whispered, "As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters. I was so worried that you might..."

"I’m sorry, Master. My willfulness and recklessness caused you to suffer all these..." Fu Young clenched his teeth, his voice tightening as he reached the final word. "Calamities."

Watching from the side, Tushan Shanhe was speechless. He felt as though his eyes were about to be blinded by the sight. He could not help grumbling inwardly.

You brat! Is that any way for a disciple to embrace his master? And what about me, a perfectly living person standing right here? Can’t you see me?

However, his concern that Immortal King Chenhan might recover and retaliate forced him to suppress his anger at seeing his own junior being taken advantage of by an outsider.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "Hey, brat! Stop cuddling with your master and heal our injuries already! It’ll be troublesome if that fellow recovers and reacts!"

"No! He won’t get the chance to react..." After saying this, Fu Young smiled brilliantly at the void. However, he did not refuse to heal Tushan Shanhe.

At that moment, Yao Ming saw the expression on his face and shuddered. He pressed his legs together and wobbled over to Yao Heng, who had fallen to the ground. Flipping his hair, he extended a small hand toward her and greeted her cheerfully. "Beautiful Flower, hello!"

"Stinky Flower, don’t touch me with your dirty hands!" Yao Heng glared at him with her beautiful eyes and turned her head away haughtily.

Just as the two Flowers of Time were exchanging words for the first time, Yu Lin, who had followed Immortal King Chenhan in hopes of witnessing Xiao Shou’s gruesome death, saw Fu Young appear. Her entire body immediately trembled, and she turned around to flee.

However, a branch suddenly appeared and lashed across her, causing excruciating pain throughout her body and sending her flying into the air for quite some time.

She landed in a wretched heap. Struggling to open her eyes, she saw a pair of feet standing before her. Instinctively, she raised her head to look at their owner. The figure before her made her pupils contract. Fear and disbelief filled her eyes as she cried out, "Ah! Fu Young, weren’t you... over there?"

"You deserve to die!"
