217: Kill the Immortal! Tens of millions of attribute points!

“Cough... cough cough...”

At the center of the deep pit, blood mud was mixed with gravel.

Xiao Zhuo leaned on the broken heavenly cleaver, each cough spewing golden blood foam mixed with fragments of internal organs. His Physical Body was covered in a spiderweb of cracks, the God-Slaying Blood Flame was as weak as a candle in the wind, and the Devouring power struggled to resist the erosion of the violent Immortal power within his body.

Chao Tian’s insane bombardment, exceeding all limits, had almost completely shattered him.

However, deep within this dying, almost collapsed body, a more primal, more overbearing vitality was completely ignited by the extreme destruction and life-or-death crisis!

“Roar—!”

A low roar, not human-like, burst from his throat! It wasn't pain, but as if an ancient deity was awakening!

Buzz!

The dim blood flame around his body suddenly contracted, then, like oil poured onto a fire, it surged explosively!

Its color changed from dark red to a deep, viscous, light-devouring — dark gold!

The Innate Blood God Body, fully revived!

Divine blood completely boiled in his shattered blood vessels! Every drop transformed into the purest life essence and destructive flame!

The dark golden blood flame frantically licked his wounds; wherever it passed, the muscles torn by Immortal power, the shattered bones, and the damaged internal organs, incredibly, wriggled, reorganized, and regenerated at a visible speed!

Ch ch ch!

The remaining cyan-gold Immortal essence that had invaded his body, which even Devouring power could only refine with difficulty, now met its nemesis. Under the burning of the more overbearing dark golden blood flame, it let out a piercing wail and was rapidly refined and devoured!

The Devouring Divine Body operated in sync, forcefully incorporating these pure fragments of Immortal power, whose quality far surpassed this realm, into its own circulation, transforming them into nourishment to repair and nourish his Physical Body!

His bones were reshaped in the dark golden blood flame, emitting a jade-like glow, becoming even tougher than before!

Muscle fibers re-weaved like coiling Dragons, containing explosive power!

His skin was covered with a thin layer of dark golden glazed luster; though not yet armor, its defense far exceeded what it was previously!

This process was accompanied by excruciating pain, like being crushed and reforged.

But Xiao Zhuo’s eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, fixed on the swaying figure in the sky!

“No… impossible!” Chao Tian looked at the even more terrifying and tyrannical dark golden blood flame reigniting in the deep pit, feeling the rapidly rising aura within it, his pupils constricting to needlepoints from extreme horror!

He had just suffered the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, the Origin Dao injuries of his immortal body were cracking, his Immortal soul felt like it was being pierced by billions of steel needles, and his Immortal power was less than one-tenth of what it was; this was his weakest moment!

“Monster! A monster from the Lower Realm!” Boundless fear instantly drowned the arrogance of the Upper Realm True Immortal. He didn’t hesitate, turned, and fled!

What enlightenment tea tree, what Immortal Palace mission, none were as important as his life!

He burned his remaining Immortal power, transforming into a dim cyan-gold rainbow of light, shooting straight into the sky! As long as he could reach the vicinity of the spatial crack, he could use a cross-realm Talisman to escape!

“Now you want to leave?”

A cold voice, like a curse from the Nine Nether, instantly exploded in Chao Tian’s ears!

Xiao Zhuo’s figure had appeared like a ghost directly in front of his escape path! His speed was far greater than before!

Dark golden blood flames blazed around him; beneath his tattered black robes, his regenerated body flowed with a dark golden luster. Although still covered with shallow marks, his aura was like an awakened primeval Vicious Beast, savage and ferocious!

The broken heavenly cleaver was covered in dark golden blood flames, letting out a hum of desire for revenge!

“Get out of my way!” Chao Tian was scared out of his wits, fearfully waving his dim Immortal Artifact curved blade, slashing out a hurried blade light.

Xiao Zhuo’s eyes were cold; he didn't even bother to swing his blade to block.

Taking a step forward, his fist, wrapped in dark golden blood flames, carried a brutal force that could crush everything. Ignoring the blade light, he slammed it fiercely towards Chao Tian’s face!

“Bang!”

The blade light collided with the blood flame, only causing ripples before shattering! The fist solidly struck the hastily condensed protective Immortal light!

Crack!

The protective Immortal light shattered like an eggshell! Chao Tian’s handsome face instantly caved in and deformed, his nose bridge shattered, and cyan-gold Immortal blood mixed with teeth sprayed out wildly!

His entire body was violently smashed away like a broken sack, deeply embedded in a giant rock below, as hard as iron!

“Puff!” Chao Tian again spat out blood wildly, more cyan-gold blood seeping from the cracking Dao marks on his immortal body. His aura was extremely weak, and only boundless fear and despair remained in his eyes. “Spare… spare me… I am from the Evergreen Immortal Palace…”

“Immortal Palace?” Xiao Zhuo’s figure followed like a shadow, appearing before him, his cold and ruthless face reflected in the dark golden blood flame, “Just as I expected.”

Before his words finished, heavenly cleaver, imbued with pent-up killing intent and dark golden blood flames, ruthlessly chopped down!

“No—!!!”

Pfft!

The Immortal Envoy’s head flew high, extreme fear and unwillingness frozen on his face. As soon as his Immortal infant escaped, it was captured by Xiao Zhuo’s palm, and Devouring power surged, instantly devouring it!

The headless immortal body twitched violently a few times, cyan-gold Immortal blood sprayed, and its life force was cut off.

The strange curved blade let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light completely gone, falling into the dust.

“Killed one Wood Clan True Immortal, gained 3,154,764 Attribute Points.”

Xiao Zhuo reached out and grabbed, collecting Chao Tian’s corpse, curved blade, storage ring, and other items.

His figure flashed, and he was back above the Enlightenment Abyss, ignoring Ximen Feng, Qiao Shan, and the other surviving Prodigies who were huddled in a corner, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, trembling.

Taking a step, space shifted, and his figure stood before the enlightenment tea tree.

The new tree spirit’s consciousness conveyed closeness and gratitude: “Thank you! I have a premonition that people from the Upper Realm will come again! I want to leave here, can you take me with you?”

Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly, reaching out to gently press the gnarled tree trunk.

Buzz!

The entire enlightenment tea tree emitted a brilliant green light, and its gentle consciousness actively opened its core.

A verdant, leaf-shaped imprint, condensed from pure spiritual light and Dao rhyme, emerged from the tree trunk, lightly floating towards Xiao Zhuo’s glabella.

Xiao Zhuo did not resist, allowing the imprint to merge into his Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, a wonderful spiritual connection was established. He clearly perceived the emotions and state of this Innate Spiritual Root, and even vaguely touched its understanding of heaven and earth and the flow of Dao rhyme.

The enlightenment tea tree acknowledged him as its master!

Although he hadn't expected this Spiritual Root to acknowledge him so decisively, this was undoubtedly a heaven-sent Opportunity, not to be refused!

With a thought, the ten-foot-tall enlightenment tea tree, along with the hundred-zhang radius of spiritual soil it was rooted in, instantly disappeared, taken into his Sea of Consciousness.

After doing all this, Xiao Zhuo’s cold gaze slowly swept across the various corners of the sinkhole.

Ximen Feng, Monk Chaoyun, Nether Bone, Qiao Shan, and the few remaining Tribulation Stage Cultivators were pale-faced, like lambs to the slaughter, looking at him in despair.

“It’s your turn,” a detached voice pronounced their final fate.

The blade light rose again.

This time, there were no more surprises.

The bottom of the Enlightenment Abyss, ultimately, fell silent.

After a long while, countless bloodlines at the bottom of the sinkhole condensed before Xiao Zhuo into a golden drop of blood emanating a powerful pressure.

The entire sinkhole was left with nothing but dried corpses.

Integrating the Source Blood into his glabella, Xiao Zhuo tapped the ground, and his figure disappeared into the Enlightenment Abyss.

In this battle, he earned a full harvest.

He had almost completely wiped out the core Prodigies, refined his Source Blood to near Heaven-Grade using their essence blood, and gained countless storage rings and equipment from the Prodigies.

Of course, most importantly — the Attribute Points on his panel had completely surpassed the ten million mark!
