Chapter 223 - 207: The Outbreak of the Blood Demon Tree, The Demon Tree Swallowing Immortal Mist Island_2
“There’s no way! Everything’s calm now, how can there be a disaster? That’s just nonsense!”
“We can’t say that for sure, remember Immortal Mist Sect is a Golden Core Sect, and there’s a Golden Core Master there. As they say, the duck knows first when the river becomes warm in spring, they surely know more than we do. Maybe something really did happen.”
“If there really is a disaster, what can we do? We don’t have any Flying Boats.” “Honestly, I believe it’s better to trust its existence than to deny it. We should leave this place for a while. If nothing happens, that’s the best; we can come back and occupy this third stage Spirit Vein. But if something does happen, we are doomed.”
“That’s true, a sect that’s existed for thousands of years wouldn’t give up so easily unless something significant has occurred. Must have been something unimaginable.”
Cultivators were all engaged in a heated discussion.
Their nerves tightened instantly, after all, the relocation of the Golden Core Sect was no small matter.
Indeed, this would leave a huge power vacuum area, but they needed to survive to seize it.
Hence, they felt no joy, only fear of the impending disaster.
One by one, the Loose Cultivators started scrambling, fleeing from this region.
For a time, numerous cultivator families retreated hastily as well.
Bang!
At this moment, the fearsome fluctuations erupted from the cave dwelling originally belonging to the Ancestor of Blood Shadow. A massive tree broke through the seal, shooting up from deep underground.
Its roots frantically extended into every Spirit Vein, wildly absorbing the spiritual energy of nature.
The originally withered body gradually inflated.
The once wilted branches turned green, teeming with vitality.
“Finally, this damned seal is broken.”
“Three thousand years, three thousand years of being sealed.”
“Blood, I need blood.”
A manic voice echoed from the Blood Demon Tree, almost delirious, like countless aggrieved spirits screaming. It’s impossible to know how much resentment gathered around the tree, giving it a hellish presence.
Boom!
Starting from the tree, a surge of bloody mist exploded.
The mist initially only covered about a hundred miles, but it began expanding rapidly.
Two hundred miles, five hundred miles, a thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles…
The expansion speed of the bloody mist was astounding, covering a three thousand-mile area in the blink of an eye.
No matter how the creatures within it tried to escape, they could not outpace the expansion of the bloody mist.
Any creatures enveloped by the bloody mist fell to the ground as though drunk, unable to move.
Then roots shot up from the ground, piercing the bodies of these creatures.
It was akin to siphoning, sucking the blood out of countless beings.
Thud!
The clone of Zhou Sui who was hidden in the dark died instantly.
Even a clone couldn’t withstand such terrifying power.
What?!
At that moment, aboard a third stage Flying Boat, Zhou Sui’s eyes widened, his pupils constricting. His soul received the message the clone sent right before death.
That clone was specifically assigned to monitor the Blood Demon Tree, and he hadn’t predicted it would die so soon.
“What’s wrong, dear?”
Leng Yuexi and the others noticed Zhou Sui’s expression and asked worriedly.
“The seal on the Blood Demon Tree is broken. We have to speed up and leave Immortal Mist Island immediately,” Zhou Sui said grimly.
He sensed the terrifying strength of the Blood Demon Tree and its rapid advancement in cultivation. No ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could match it, it might even be comparable to one at the Divinity Transformation stage. Staying on Immortal Mist Island would mean certain death.
“But we’re already moving at top speed,” Leng Yuexi responded hesitantly.
“Then we need to push even harder, at full speed, up to the limit of the Flying Boat.”
“No need to worry about the Spirit Stones, use as much as we have.”
Zhou Sui commanded immediately.
“Understood, dear.”
Hearing that, Leng Yuexi nodded her head and conveyed the instruction to the cultivator controlling the Flying Boat, urging it to reach full speed and leave Immortal Mist Island without hesitation.
After ten days.
After the reckless flight of the Flying Boat, they finally spotted the ocean in the distance. It was a boundless sea, so vast that you could not see the edges.
The sight of the endless sea filled everyone with awe, emphasizing how small their lives were.
“This is great; we finally see the sea.”
“What Ji Bingyu and the others exclaimed joyfully. They had always lived inland and hadn’t come across a real ocean.
“Dear, where should we go?”
Leng Yuexi asked out of concern.
Even though they had left Immortal Mist Island, they had no destination in mind.
“Forget about that for now, let’s first leave Immortal Mist Island and settle on a nearby common island.”
“We can discuss the next step after.”
Zhou Sui spoke solemnly.
“Alright.”
Leng Yuexi nodded, directing the Flying Boat to speed off again in no time, leaving Immortal Mist Island, venturing into the boundless sea, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue water.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, the entire Immortal Mist Island seemed to tremble and hum.
Clouds of red mist raised up as if alive, completely enveloping the entire island..
