Chapter 1412 - 904: Majestic Youhan?

Within the Mountain Realm · At the Celestial Gate.

The people waiting at this location hurriedly stepped aside.

A black arrow, 1 meter long, carrying strands of cold mist, shot into the Celestial Gate, its tip hanging down, and the arrow body buzzing.

"Retreat!" Yang Qingqing picked up a Jade Gourd in her hand.

Her target wasn’t the Withered Arrow, but the accompanying strands of cold mist.

Meanwhile, energy from heaven and earth was rapidly flowing in, continuously pouring into the arrow.

Seeing this scene, the crowd naturally knew that this Demon Soldier was about to ascend to sainthood!

"Good lad." Fu Jianzhou shielded his face with one hand, quietly admiring.

How long has it been since entering the Youhan Realm, and the Withered Arrow is about to ascend?

The saying goes: When one ascends, all creatures rise to heaven.

The Demon Pet and weapons under Du Yu accompany their master in completing such a grand goal, supporting the crumbling structure, making it hard not to ascend!

Speaking of which...

Fu Jianzhou’s expression was somewhat peculiar, as he too had ascended to become a Demon Taming Emperor.

That was outside the Bottomless Pit near Xiangcha City, when he and Jiang Feng collaborated to destroy the Cold Tree Branch.

The meaning and value of one’s existence are different, so is the ceiling limit for breakthroughs on the Demon Taming path different?

Since advancing to Demon Taming General·Peak Stage on December 1st last year, Fu Jianzhou has been stuck at this stage for nearly 9 months.

He once thought his talent stopped there.

Unexpectedly, during the process of chopping the Youhan Tree, the window to advance to Demon Taming Emperor opened!

And upon entering the Demon Taming Emperor stage, Fu Jianzhou felt renewed!

Facing the small tiers within the Emperor Level, he thought he could push forward a bit more...

"Hmm." Fu Jianzhou silently watched the Withered Arrow, his thoughts churning.

If, under my little junior brother’s leadership, together with everyone, I could tear apart the true body of this Youhan Tree, could my path in Demon Taming be extended further?

Certainly!

Fu Jianzhou quietly watched the Withered Arrow, while outside the Mountain and Sea Bell, Du Yu stood high above the sky, amid the thick gray clouds.

Before possessing the Flowing Fire Suanni, Du Yu couldn’t linger long in the gray mist.

Even if he was a Spirit Master, adorned with several Spiritual Artifacts, it wouldn’t suffice!

Du Yu needed to breathe, and when the cold chill reached a certain level, it couldn’t be fully dispelled, inevitably allowing strands of cold Qi to penetrate his body.

Now it’s different!

Flowing Fire Suanni possesses a Demon Skill·Auspicious Fire and Clouds.

Which is the faint fire mist drifting around Du Yu, with thin fiery lines constantly weaving around.

This demon skill, adapted for the emperor level of Flowing Fire Suanni, but only until becoming Supreme, did Flowing Fire during its hundred years guarding Dragon Ship Flower Island come to realize it.

Auspicious Fire and Clouds can remove all negative states from oneself and also repel filth from the body.

Especially targeting external cold Qi!

The only limitation is that this technique can only be performed by oneself, unable to be applied to others.

In this gray mist-filled environment, the creatures of the Twin Tree Realm cannot fight for long.

Otherwise, human pets will inevitably have cold Qi invade their bodies, leading to brain confusion, and ultimately turning into mindless zombies.

However, Du Yu and the Kunlun Divine Tree had long planned, without any panic.

During battles against the Cold Tree, part of the troops could stand on the back of the Suanni, seeking shelter.

Besides, Du Yu has another trump card—the Fire Age Axe!

Its Demon Soldier Array·Heaven-Burning Array, is enough to change the battlefield environment, completely incinerating the cold Qi within a region!

Just like it guarding Xiangcha City, the rolling gray clouds in the sky can hardly approach the city.

This axe, led by Elder Yinsuo and jointly gifted to Du Yu by the entire Chi Bear clan.

On this expedition to the Youhan Realm, it’s finally going to show its true power!

"Hiss..."

"Roar!!" A subtle roaring sound reached his ears.

Du Yu, with his Eye of Burning Sun, pierced through layers of gray mist.

The Youhan Army from the sky and ground, from all directions, was converging towards the Divine Tree.

Wind around his feet and fire leading, Du Yu flew even higher.

Among the massive Cold Beast Group, Du Yu instantly spotted in the far off horizon a group of swallows flying towards him!

His expression was somewhat serious, a flock of Shadow Soul Birds?

Judging by their size, it should be a combination of one Demon Saint, eight Demon Emperors, and over ten Demon Generals.

Impressive, having a Demon Saint leading?

Du Yu watched the fiercely charging swarm of swallows and quickly surveyed the terrain, pinpointing a distant tall mountain, before his figure flickered!

With just one teleport, he moved over a hundred kilometers!

The mountain hasn’t arrived, but the flock of Shadow Soul Birds flying towards Du Yu has already been left dozens of kilometers behind him.

Du Yu turned to take a brief look, then continued heading towards the mountain.

"It’s so desolate here~" A murmur of Little Fen Yang echoed in his mind.

The sudden sound made Du Yu’s heart tremble!

In this terrifying world, he remained highly alert the whole time.

And this familiar, charming voice greatly eased Du Yu’s mind.

"So scary." Little Fen Yang whispered, "I hate it here."

Du Yu gazed towards the distant mountain: "You hate it here, then we’ll destroy it."

"Wow!" Little Fen Yang exclaimed, widely opening her beautiful eyes, "Du Yu, Du Yu~"

"Hmm?"

"You’ve become more domineering~"

Du Yu: "..."

Little Fen Yang covered her little mouth with her small hands, giggling, "I like it!"

Flowing Fire suddenly spoke: "My world will eventually become like this."

Little Fen Yang immediately fell silent.

In Du Yu’s team, Burning Sun Golden Crow, Flowing Fire Suanni, and Void Axe are creatures of the same world.

They all hail from the already fallen Ashen Continent.

Since the goal of the Cold Tree is to invade and assimilate worlds, the ultimate fate of the Ashen Continent indeed mirrors this scene before us.

Void Axe said gravely: "My lord will certainly destroy that Cold Tree!"

The always silent Void Axe rarely joined in the conversation.

"Right, right!" Little Fen Yang perked up, "The Big Tree said, as long as the Demon Breath Tree doesn’t die, the Twin Trees can be reborn.

Then, our world will once again become the Twin Tree Realm!"

Void Axe: "First, we will destroy this Cold Tree!

With my lord’s experience in destroying a realm and having a stable environment for growth, one day, my lord will destroy the Youhan Tree!"

"Yes." Du Yu responded gravely, his body coursing with electricity as he charged forward at high speed, flashing again.

He stood thousands of meters in the air, wrapped in dense fog, yet his view remained wide open.

Below, in the mountain valley, Du Yu spotted a large-scale Youhan Squad.

The flickering firelight and bursting lightning came from the Night Fire Cage and Electric Little Star.

The galloping steeds were Wind Trace Steeds, while Blood Wind Bats flew chaotically above.

Among them, Du Yu seemed to spot the silhouette of Mountain Giant.

As for why "seemed," it’s because the Mountain Giant had shattered into various-sized stones carried by cavalrymen as they advanced.

Du Yu observed attentively for a moment, slightly adjusted his direction, and the current passed through him.

The direction should be correct; the farther he advanced, the more frequently the Youhan Army appeared.

After several flashes, Du Yu’s body suddenly halted.

No Cold Beast figures below anymore, could he have gone the wrong way... hmm?

Du Yu’s eyes widened slightly.

He exercised extreme eye power, his pale red eyes gradually turning bright red, becoming frighteningly hot Burning Sun Eyes!

In the distant horizon, he saw a giant tree connecting heaven and earth!

Is this the true form of the Youhan Tree?

Indeed! It must be it!

Because on the tree’s surface, Du Yu saw a faint layer of gray fire—Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame!

However, the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame within the Youhan Realm was very thin; its source clearly wasn’t in this realm but in the Twin Tree Realm·Bottomless Kunlun.

"Really magnificent, huh?" Du Yu murmured with a grim expression.

Such a towering giant tree is definitely of the same level as the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Through the thin gray fire, Du Yu saw its gray trunk.

The giant tree soared into the sky, its gray branches exceptionally lush, like a curtain of gray waterfall cascading from the heavens.

Du Yu didn’t want to admit it, but he was indeed awestruck.

Just like when he first visited Kunlun and saw the Divine Tree, he was speechless with shock.

The Youhan Tree, as the supreme deity within its realm, indeed exuded an earth-shattering majesty!

The question is, why is it that the closer he gets to the Youhan Tree, the fewer Cold Race troops there are?

Shouldn’t the Youhan Tree, as the divine tree in the hearts of the Cold Race, be revered by all?

It’s one thing to have no guards around the tree, but no followers either?

How is this possible!

Du Yu’s expression turned gloomy as he gazed at the solitary Youhan Giant Tree.

Do you guess... if I believe it?

"Du Yu." A cool voice imprinted in Du Yu’s mind.

"Qingci?" Du Yu responded softly.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s voice was cool, yet her tone was so gentle: "I’m here."

Du Yu slightly opened his mouth, clearly Qingci sensed his anxious heart.

"Uh-huh, Qingci is here, and Niuniu’s here, and Flowing Fire too!" Little Fen Yang cheered for Du Yu, then added softly, "And me."

She whispered the last part so softly, as though feeling a bit guilty.

As a Demon Soul, Little Fen Yang didn’t know where she had cast aside all her Demon Skills, leaving only the pair of Burning Sun Eyes to lend to Du Yu.

"Yes, with you!" Du Yu said gravely.

One Demon Skill is enough; a pair of Burning Sun Eyes suffice to rival myriad Demon Skills!

Little Fen Yang felt a bit of joy in her heart, and her small face immediately broke into a smile.

It’s hard to imagine, in this hellish world, on the eve of a life-and-death battle, Little Fen Yang could still show such a sweet smile.

She seemed... genuinely indifferent to many things.

As long as she had a little thought from Du Yu, she could be happy.

"That’s right, Fen Yang is spot on! I’m here too! So long, I’ve been holding it back!" Kui Chou roared with his hoarse voice, "Just do it! Moo!"

Little Fen Yang mimicked Kui Chou’s voice: "Moo~ Just do it! Moo moo~"

Kui Chou’s eyes widened: "Huh?"

Du Yu’s mouth curled up slightly, he glanced deeply at the Cold Tree, then flashed like the clock shadow and entered the Mountain Realm.

He had just appeared at the Celestial Gate, feeling a surge of magnificent energy coming upon him.

Already in battle mode, Du Yu’s figure instantly flashed several hundred meters away.

When he looked toward the Celestial Gate, he saw a massive, dark arrow!

Holy Weapon· Withered Arrow!

Du Yu’s eyes shone brightly, he pinched the tips of his fingers used to grip the bowstring and arrow tail.

Finally!

You finally became a saint, Withered Arrow.

So... you’re ready to accompany me in shooting through the heart of the Youhan Tree, right?
