Chapter 587: I’ll Be Borrowing This Body of Yours

Beneath the night sky, everything was deathly still.

Whether they were Human Alliance cultivators or Demon Alliance cultivators, everyone stared blankly at the sight of that Immortal Realm demon cultivator being pierced through by a vine from the Moon God Tree.

The Human Alliance cultivators were utterly baffled. They truly could not understand why the Demon Alliance had suddenly started killing its own.

Likewise, the Demon Alliance cultivators were completely unable to fathom what Tushan Meng intended to do.

“Tushan Meng, have you gone mad?” Kongsheng, the patriarch of the Soaring Serpent clan, abruptly turned and roared furiously in the direction of Moon God Peak.

However, what answered him was silence.

“Tushan Meng! Say something!”

Kongsheng’s anger was difficult to suppress.

At the same time, an indescribable unease quietly welled up in his heart.

He could not guess at all what Tushan Meng was trying to do.

“I have already said it. None of you will die in vain. You will become part of my Tushan’s thousand-year hegemony, and you will also become stepping stones for the demon-race world’s dominion!” Tushan Meng’s voice remained as cold as frost.

As for the Immortal Realm demon cultivator whose chest had been pierced through by the Moon God Tree’s vine, he was using all his strength to save himself.

But he discovered that no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from that vine.

He could even clearly feel his life source and spiritual power being continuously drained away by the vine.

Moreover, an inexplicable law was wound around the vine, firmly locking down his soul as well. He could not even abandon his physical body and let his Nascent Soul flee!

“Save me... save me... save...”

That Immortal Realm demon cultivator struggled to reach out toward Kongsheng and the others, his voice growing weaker and weaker, hoarser and hoarser.

And his physical body withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, everyone present involuntarily took a step back. Not a single person dared to go forward.

The Moon God Tree’s vine suddenly heaved upward with force, lifting him high into the air.

In the end, that Immortal Realm demon cultivator was hung from one of the Moon God Tree’s thick branches like a lantern, swaying faintly in the night wind.

Immediately afterward, even more vines shot violently out from the Moon God Tree, stabbing toward all the cultivators of both the Demon Alliance and the Human Alliance at the same time!

“Tushan Meng! I see you really have gone mad!”

Kongsheng roared, immediately reverting to the true form of a Soaring Serpent. His massive body shot rapidly toward the Moon God Tree.

Kongsheng raised his head and spat. Black flames surged out, burning toward the Moon God Tree.

The Soaring Serpent’s black flames were one of the ten great strange fires of the world to begin with, to say nothing of flames spat out by an Ascension Realm Soaring Serpent.

However, those black flames did not even scorch a single leaf of the Moon God Tree. They did not leave even the faintest burn mark!

“Heh... a swarm of ants!”

Beneath the Moon God Tree, Yuan laughed coldly, the corner of her mouth curving in contempt.

The next instant, more and more vines coiled toward the crowd!

The upper-three-realm cultivators of the Human Alliance and the Demon Alliance dodged desperately while each unleashing their own methods, trying to break a gap in the formation.

However, everything was futile.

In the blink of an eye, two more Jade Pith Realm cultivators were pierced through by the Moon God Tree’s vines.

Their spiritual power and life source poured away like floodwaters from a burst dam, greedily drained dry by the vines in their entirety. Immediately afterward, they were hung high atop the Moon God Tree’s branches.

Moreover, every time an upper-three-realm cultivator had all his vitality drained by the Moon God Tree, that barrier thickened by another layer and became even harder to shake.

“The formation eye is the Moon God Tree!” Yunxi shouted to everyone.

As Daoist Yunxi’s voice fell, the members of the Human Alliance and Demon Alliance no longer fled separately. Instead, they abruptly turned around and charged together toward the Moon God Tree!

At this moment, the elders and stewards of the Tushan clan also appeared one after another, blocking the others from approaching the Moon God Tree.

Under the augmentation of this invisible grand formation enveloping heaven and earth, the realms of Tushan’s elders and stewards all rose by an entire step.

Spell arts exploded one after another in the night sky, their booms deafening.

The violent aftershocks of spiritual power were even more like massive invisible hammers, smashing fiercely into every inch of Tushan’s land.

Towering peaks collapsed at the sound, shattered stone spraying everywhere as dust filled the sky.

For a time, who knew how many Tushan fox-clan cultivators were caught in the aftershocks of this great battle and directly turned into blood mist, leaving no bones behind.

And those dead Tushan fox-clan members—their flesh and blood, spiritual power, and even their souls—were all transformed into nourishment for the Moon God Tree.

However, Tushan Meng stood high on Moon God Peak, overlooking all of this, as if she did not care in the slightest.

At the same time.

Tushan Jingci, still trapped inside the courtyard formation, had her brows tightly furrowed and her teeth clenched as she looked up at the chaotic battle in the night sky.

When she saw Xiao Mo fighting an Immortal Realm cultivator, her eyes trembled violently.

Her desire to break open the formation before her grew even stronger.

However, she still could not do it.

What startled and bewildered her even more was that there seemed to be endless streams of spiritual power converging toward this courtyard.

“What is going on?”

All of a sudden, Tushan Jingci felt that spiritual power continuously pouring into her body.

Bursts of heart-rending, lung-tearing pain came from Tushan Jingci’s body, as if every inch of her meridians were being burned by raging fire.

She clutched her chest tightly. Her heart beat heavily and violently inside her chest, each thud as if it were about to burst through by force.

Large beads of cold sweat kept rolling down Tushan Jingci’s pale forehead, soaking the hair at her temples.

Only after roughly half a quarter of an hour did the pain gradually ease.

But what followed was a spiritual power so pure it was almost at the extreme, beginning to rampage through Tushan Jingci’s body.

For no reason she could understand, Tushan Jingci faintly felt that her realm was gradually loosening ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) without her knowing it.

The Ascension Realm now seemed to be placed right in front of her, only a single step away.

“Where is this...”

Just as Tushan Jingci’s heart was filled with confusion, a woman’s voice appeared without warning in the depths of her mind.

This woman’s voice was extraordinarily pleasant, and also extraordinarily vast and distant, as if it had come from the far end of immemorial time. It had passed through the wash of countless ages and carried an indescribable heaviness.

“I saw your memories. You are of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan, Tushan Jingci... Is that your name?”

Very soon, the woman’s voice sounded in her mind again, her tone faint and distant, as if she were talking to herself and also as if she were confirming it with her.

“Who are you? Get out of my body!” Tushan Jingci gritted her teeth and roared sharply at the woman in her heart.

“So that is how it is... I understand... Yuan, so this was your doing...”

The woman did not seem to care about Tushan Jingci’s anger and resistance at all. She merely continued speaking to herself, her words faintly carrying a sense of compassion.

“Little girl... I am sorry...”

“I’ll be borrowing this body of yours.”
