Chapter 367 -314-315: Profiting from Chaos, Devouring the Spiritual Treasure

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Two streaks of light flashed across the sky.

It was Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi.

Xu Chang’an had also heard the voice transmission Chu Xianyi sent just moments ago.

He was a little surprised. ‘Since when is Chu Xianyi willing to play along with me?!’

His original plan had been to score two Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures from Xiang Xian for free. After devouring their Artifact Spirits, he would have had enough Energy on his panel.

Then, upon breaking through to the Unity Realm, his combat power would have skyrocketed.

He certainly wouldn’t have given mere Shangyang-level Demon Fiends a second thought.

What a pity it had failed.

But he’d only been trying his luck, so it wasn’t a big deal that he failed.

“Demon Emperor, why are you staring at me like that?”

Chu Xianyi’s cold, clear voice rang out.

“Haha, it’s nothing.”

Xu Chang’an laughed it off.

In the Cyan Wood World, the world’s suppressive force was far weaker than in a Great Realm.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi moved at an incredible speed.

They soon covered a distance of hundreds of miles!

The closer they drew, the more immense the towering Ancient Verdant Wood appeared.

Eventually, a single colossal branch of the ancient tree filled their entire field of vision.

They had been deliberately concealing their auras, moving stealthily.

But just as they were about to reach the Ancient Verdant Wood, an incredibly brilliant light suddenly erupted.

BOOM!

It was followed by a heaven-shaking roar.

Xu Chang’an distinctly felt the Ancient Verdant Wood tremble.

“What’s going on?”

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi exchanged a glance and flew toward the Ancient Wood.

The height of the Ancient Wood was staggering. Even though Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi were Flying in the Sky at a considerable altitude, it seemed they were merely at its base.

In the distance, they spotted a figure.

She was shrouded in a pale golden light, a woman with short, golden hair.

It was the strongest participant in the Demon Fiend trial, the Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend, Yu Chen!

Dozens of Demon Fiends stood poised in the air around Yu Chen.

Further below, many more Demon Fiends were gathered together.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi slipped quietly into the crowd of Demon Fiends, extending their Demon Sense to gather information.

It turned out that Yu Chen believed that entering the Ancient Verdant Wood meant stepping into the territory of the Ancient Ten Thousand Legs Yellow Evil Cyan Dragon Worm.

Fighting on enemy turf would be a great disadvantage.

Therefore, she had planned to topple the Ancient Verdant Wood with a single strike!

Without the suppression of a Great Realm, the destructive power unleashed by a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend was terrifyingly immense.

Even though the Ancient Verdant Wood was colossal, like a pillar supporting the heavens, it should have been toppled by her one strike.

But…

Unexpectedly, the toughness of the Ancient Verdant Wood surpassed the imagination of every Demon Fiend present!

It had actually withstood a full-powered blow from a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend!

“Such astonishing Defense!”

Yu Chen marveled inwardly as she saw that the Ancient Verdant Wood had not collapsed as she’d expected. It had merely sustained a few cracks.

‘I’ve alerted the enemy!’

With a sigh, she transformed into a streak of golden light and flew toward the very top.

The target of her mission was up there!

The Ancient Ten Thousand Legs Yellow Evil Cyan Dragon Worm!

Seeing Yu Chen depart, the dozens of Demon Fiends around her also left one by one.

They had their own missions to complete.

Their targets were also higher up!

In just a few moments, only a small number of Iron-Cracking Level, Yingzhao-level, and Flying Monster-level Demon Fiends remained.

Oh, and of course, Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi.

The Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiends who remained were on the weaker side of their rank.

The stronger ones had already left with the Shangyang-level Demon Fiends.

According to their intelligence, the higher one went up the Ancient Verdant Wood, the more powerful the resident Ancient Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worms became.

Although it was safer to stay at the bottom of the Ancient Verdant Wood, the chances of completing their mission were undoubtedly much lower.

“Let’s go, get ready to head in!”

“Even the weakest Ten-Legged White Evil Cyan Dragon Worm is at the Late-stage Void Refining Realm! Everyone, be careful!”

“…”

Under the direction of an Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend, the surrounding Demon Fiends began to mobilize.

While there weren’t many Demon Evil Cyan Dragon Worms on the Ancient Verdant Wood, every single one possessed extraordinary combat strength.

As they were all relatively weak, banding together was their best option.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi didn’t stand out; they simply followed the group of Demon Fiends and began exploring upward.

The Ancient Verdant Wood’s limbs were immense: the trunk, main branches, secondary branches, and even the leaves!

Even the stems on the leaves were thousands of feet thick.

The leaves themselves were so enormous they blotted out the sky.

“Be careful!”

Xu Chang’an warned Chu Xianyi, who was beside him.

“Mm.”

The several hundred Demon Fiends were divided into teams, each with anywhere from seven or eight to over a dozen members.

These teams cautiously explored their own sections of the Ancient Verdant Wood.

Naturally, Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi were in one of these teams.

Their team consisted of fifteen Demon Fiends.

The team was larger because it lacked an Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend.

Their exploration started off smoothly.

But as they made their way higher up the Ancient Verdant Wood, a thick, gray mist slowly began to spread from the branches.

“Not good! The mist is poisonous!”

“Damn it! Where are the Antitoxic Pills?!”

“*Pfft*—the poison is so strong!”

“…”

Xu Chang’an instantly retracted his Demon Sense, which had been spread out to scan the area.

It seemed the gray mist didn’t just affect the body; it could also corrupt one’s Demon Sense.

Caught off guard, quite a few Demon Fiends fell victim to it.

However, those who were affected were mostly the weaker ones with shallow foundations.

They had only just barely reached the Late-stage Void Refining Realm!
