Chapter 2737: Chapter 2736: One Tree, One World

Jiufeng felt a chill all over her body, her phoenix eyes sweeping around; she hadn’t expected there to be a Primordial Spirit spying on them here.

Long Fei wasn’t surprised. He spoke to Boling, "I’ve long heard your great name. May I ask what guidance you have for us?"

"You’ve heard of my name?"

Boling was clearly a little surprised, and said arrogantly to Long Fei and Jiufeng, "Since you know, it saves this Prince from saying too much to you. This Prince is a born noble and does not wish to have his cultivation ruined by that Wuu Gang. Helpless, I could only set up this game, waiting for the day I emerge again. Unfortunately, man proposes, Heaven disposes—who would have thought at the critical moment, the Formation developed a crack, allowing outsiders to invade and harass me endlessly. This Prince has been observing you in secret for a long time; the mana of you two is extraordinary, and you may be able to help this Prince attain the Dao. When this Prince’s Body of the Lunar is perfected, that will be the day I unify the Three Realms. When that time comes, if you follow this Prince, you can fully enjoy the rights over the Three Realms."

"And if we don’t agree? Aren’t you afraid we’ll tell outsiders what you said?"

Jiufeng shouted sharply.

Boling said with confidence, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. You’ll be just like these corpses around you—soon you’ll all become nourishment in this Prince’s belly. What this Prince says to you, you won’t be able to leak a single word of it."

His Divine Sense stirred, and those marionettes leapt out a single giant, who raised a hand and chopped down at Jiufeng with a Giant Axe.

Jiufeng drew her sword; the Heavenly Fire Radiance Sword Long Fei had given her she now wielded with great familiarity, as if it were part of herself.

With one sword stroke through the sky, she lifted a soaring blaze of sword-light, whistling as it hummed and crashed head-on into the giant’s Giant Axe.

With a puffing sound, the sword-light skimmed directly over the Giant Axe, then sliced off half of the giant’s body, sending the remaining half plummeting down into the bottomless pit.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Prince Boliang praised once, and a tree branch suddenly twitched, dragging up another dozen corpses.

His tone was smug as he said, "You can kill one, but can you kill these endless ones? I’m not afraid to tell you: the corpses stored in this Underground Corpse Burial were devoured from all over the land during the great Witch-Demon calamity. The number of corpses here is beyond your imagination. Even if you exhaust every drop of your blood and energy, you’ll never break free of their encirclement."

These corpses were the same as the giant just now, all towering at a hundred meters tall.

Because they’d been forged by the Qi of Lunar, their flesh was as hard as iron.

In that previous strike, Jiufeng had clearly felt tremendous resistance.

Killing one was still fine, but facing so many corpses, she truly felt uncertain in her heart.

Long Fei asked Boling, "What must we do to be considered as having submitted to you?"

Prince Boliang said, "Very simple—this Prince will brand your bodies with a Primordial Spirit Brand; acknowledge this Prince as your master and that will be enough."

Jiufeng snapped, "Dream on. Do you really think we’re weak and easy to bully?"

She thought to herself that with Long Fei relying on the Chaos Green Lotus, it might not be impossible to break out of this heap of corpses.

Once they got out, bringing a million troops here, they’d have to rip this Laurel Tree out by the roots.

But Long Fei did something that surprised her. He said to Prince Boliang, "My younger sister is still too young and can’t see through Your Highness’s might. This Lunar Physique is truly a heaven-defying physique. If Your Highness can accomplish this body, you will surely sweep across the Three Realms in the future. I don’t want to miss this opportunity. I’m willing to recognize Prince Boliang as my lord."

Jiufeng’s eyes widened; she thought, is this guy crazy?

She was just about to think of a way to wake Long Fei up when her palm was suddenly gripped and squeezed by Long Fei.

Prince Boliang laughed in satisfaction. "Very good. You’re a smart one—understand the grand trend, and have good vision. Once this Prince’s work is complete, I will certainly take you to the peak and let you enjoy the prosperity and riches of the Three Realms."

Long Fei sat down and said to Prince Boliang, "Then please, Your Highness, brand my body. My sister will supervise at the side. If Your Highness has any strange moves, don’t blame my sister for turning hostile!"

"Rest assured, as long as you sincerely submit to me, I won’t make things hard for you two!"

Prince Boliang extended a branch that was completely disconnected from the others; this branch was transparent.

It looked like a tentacle, slick with mucus and covered in tendrils, slowly drooping down to coil around Long Fei’s body.

Jiufeng’s grip tightened on the sword hilt in her hand; she had no idea what Long Fei was planning, actually agreeing to let this Prince brand his body with a Primordial Spirit Brand?

If this continued, wouldn’t he really become this Prince’s slave?

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, Long Fei’s body suddenly vanished from where he stood, startling her into a scream. "Long Fei, where are you?"

Immediately after, Prince Boliang’s furious roar rang out. "You damned thief, you dare spy on my Primordial Spirit? Courting death!"

The giants all around instantly roared in response, hefting their Magical Weapons and launching a joint assault on Jiufeng.

Jiufeng controlled the Lotus Platform, darting like a ray of light out from the giants’ encirclement. At the same time she swung her longsword, laughing heartily in her heart, "I knew it—how could this crafty fox possibly acknowledge someone else as his master!"

She swept her sword out toward the tree branch atop a giant’s head; with a sharp whoosh the branch was severed.

Just as she’d guessed, once that branch broke, the giant suddenly toppled, completely dependent on that branch for movement.

Prince Boliang seemed somewhat mentally split, cursing furiously while driving all the fireflies in the cavern to swarm around Jiufeng.

These fireflies were like a sea of flames, madly surging to engulf Jiufeng.

Under Prince Boliang’s control, they could also locate the Chaos Green Lotus, charging in with a posture of mutual destruction.

Jiufeng was so shocked she wanted to flee, but she was already trapped within this sea of Lunar fire.

She thought, it’s over—this flame just happens to restrain her Jiufeng True Fire.

Who knew, the petals of the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly closed, wrapping her inside.

At the same time, the lotus leaves rippled open, spreading out like long cloth and unleashing a devouring force, crazily sweeping the surrounding fireflies inward.

The sea of fire instantly began to collapse, wildly pouring into the lotus leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Ghostly blue flames shot to the sky, surging in from all directions, lighting up half the cavern in an instant.

In another world, a field of dazzling starlight—stars of all kinds flew chaotically within, constantly turning into bubbles before Long Fei’s Green Bamboo Stick.

This was where Prince Boliang’s Primordial Spirit resided, and also a small world with relatively complete Laws.

Here existed the Space Law, and also the order of time.

There was even Reincarnation here.

This was a Hidden Divine Realm refined by the Demon Emperor and the Moon Goddess for their grandson, in which countless living beings dwelled.

These living beings provided nourishment for Prince Boliang’s Primordial Spirit, and every so often, his Primordial Spirit would harvest them once.

From the Primordial Wild to now, Prince Boliang had already harvested nourishment over ten thousand times.

No matter how heaven‑piercing the mana of the people in this world grew, when the day of harvesting arrived and heavenly punishment descended, Prince Boliang would still swallow all life in a single breath, leaving nothing behind.

His Primordial Spirit had cultivated to its present state using this method.

This Laurel Tree was the harvesting machine that devoured Spirit Souls from the outside world; once the moonlight fell, all beings, upon death, would not enter the great Reincarnation, but be harvested entirely into this small world.

Born in this small world, growing in this small world, and in the end, harvested and devoured by Prince Boliang.
