Inside Floating Life City, the cultivators stared at the suddenly appearing barrier, filled with confusion. What was going on?
A local resident of Floating Life City comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, the Ancestor will activate this formation and protect everyone's safety..."
Before he could finish speaking, a tree root suddenly emerged from the ground and pierced through his stomach. The root grew, using his flesh and blood as soil, and sprouted tender shoots.
"Murder! Murder!"
The woman who was closest screamed.
But what followed was the emergence of more and more tree roots from the ground. Before long, the once prosperous Fusheng City had become a living hell.
Capable cultivators took action to sever the tree roots, but as long as it absorbed enough blood, it could grow continuously, and even ordinary spiritual fire could not harm it!
The situation inside the forbidden area of Xuanyuan Mansion was even more dire.
After the Xuanyuan Ancestor activated the formation, tree branches began to sprout from the bodies of some Xuanyuan clansmen. Emerald green buds grew from their mouths, noses, and ears, and some even pierced their eyes, continuing to grow!
"What...what's wrong with you all?!"
A close aide exclaimed in surprise.
The Xuanyuan clansmen who were fighting them just moments ago have suddenly turned into this state! Even the Xuanyuan patriarch is no exception; it's as if a giant tree is about to burst out of their bodies. Not only are the disciples helpless, but they also have to be constantly on guard against tree roots that suddenly emerge from the ground!
The spiritual energy absorbed by the Floating Life Giant Tree is continuously gathering into the body of Ancestor Xuanyuan, and his cultivation is constantly increasing, showing a strong trend of recovering to the Tribulation Transcending stage.
"Ancestor...how could you..."
The branches that grew from the mouth of the Xuanyuan family head had already blossomed with dazzling fiery red floating flowers, yet they were still insatiably absorbing his spiritual energy.
It's a floating fruit!
Every member of the Xuanyuan clan had consumed the Floating Life Fruit, believing it to be a blessing. Little did they know that the fruit was also a seed, buried within their bodies for many years, waiting only for the day it would sprout.
Now, under the urging of the Yellow Ancestor, this landmine has been completely ignited.
They absorb all the spiritual power of the person they parasitize, and after the host dies, they return to the soil, find the mother tree, offer up their spiritual power, and complete their mission.
The Xuanyuan family head never imagined that the ancestor intended to use everyone's lives to bury the secret!
If everyone living here dies, no one will know the truth about the crimes of the Xuanyuan family!
He didn't care at all about these mass-produced juniors.
If he can create one Xuanyuan family, then he can create a second, a third... He only needs to find a few women with low cultivation levels to have countless offspring, especially those rogue cultivators without any backing, even if they disappear, no one will care.
On the other side, Tianqi, long before Tianning left without a trace of regret, only to use his spiritual power to suppress the plant in Xuanyuan Qing's body, gritted his teeth and jumped into the pit to find the backup plan left by Xuanyuan Hengzhi.
Green shoots have begun to sprout on his palms. If he continues to stay here, he will only end up like those Xuanyuan people!
Having finally obtained this body, how could he be willing to die here like this?
Tianqi looked at the strand of hair tightly held in his hand with a complicated expression. It was left behind when Tianning fought with the head of the Xuanyuan family...
It doesn't matter.
Even if Tianning disobeys him and dies here, he will still be able to find her reincarnation through the Soul-Guiding Lamp in the future.
At this moment, the entire Floating Life City was filled with blood-red light and demonic energy. Broken limbs were wrapped tightly by tree roots, trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from the ground.
The Ancestor Xuanyuan condensed the continuously gathering demonic energy into his palm, gradually forming the shape of a jet-black longsword. The sword was very familiar, especially as the strange patterns on the blade became clearer... Instantly, everyone recognized it.
He's trying to create a second magic sword!
The Ancestor Xuanyuan said, "It is said that the Demon Sword was forged by the Demon Lord ten thousand years ago using the millions of wronged souls from both the righteous and demonic paths. Although I have never personally witnessed the power of the Demon Sword, I believe that the sword I created today with the lives of all of you will be no less powerful than the Demon Sword!"
Tianning heard the demonic sword in his consciousness curse, "Pah! Fake!"
Tianning: "..."
He was clearly very angry, trying to imitate the real person in front of them.
