407: The tree spirit hiding in the shadows

Liu Ruoxi directly released her Divine Sense and began to investigate the surroundings.

"The spiritual trees nearby are denser, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is also richer."

"It seems this is a deeper area of the Mysterious Fruit Forest!"

"I have a premonition that the Tree Demon who just activated the Ancient Restriction to attack us is nearby; it just used a special method to conceal its tracks."

Su Yun also released his Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings.

Perhaps because of the nearby Ancient Restriction,

he didn't find anything unusual.

However, no abnormality was the greatest abnormality.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Xie Yulan and Leng Xirou also looked around vigilantly.

The surroundings were incredibly quiet.

There wasn't even the sound of the wind.

The dim forest seemed capable of swallowing everything.

"It's so quiet!"

"Junior Brother Yun, do you think that Tree Demon might have already left?"

Xie Yulan looked at the dim and silent forest around her and couldn't help but take light steps toward Su Yun's side.

It was as if only this could give her a greater sense of security.

"It's coming!"

Su Yun's voice had just fallen.

Before the three women, Xie Yulan and the others, could recover,

they saw endless ancient spiritual runes suddenly manifest in the surrounding Void Realm, releasing deep purple thunder. The sound of thunder was deafening as it directly transformed into a surging sea of lightning, attacking the four of them.

"Such powerful might!"

"The power of this sea of lightning is already close to the Enlightenment Realm!"

Liu Ruoxi said with a pale face.

She never expected the Mysterious Fruit Forest to have such a powerful Ancient Restriction.

Previously, the most powerful Ancient Restriction they had found was at the Integration Layer One Realm.

That was why the Jade Pool Holy Land felt safe letting their younger generation of Cultivators enter to explore.

"It finally showed a flaw!"

"It really knows how to hide!"

Su Yun suddenly looked toward a certain spot and, with a casual wave, dozens of white dragon shadows were abruptly released.

After a burst of dragon roars, the surrounding thunder was once again completely swallowed.

Then, the white dragon shadows attacked an empty spot not far away and instantly exploded.

Crack~

After a series of crisp sounds,

the nearby hidden Restriction instantly shattered.

A figure appeared, revealing an old man in purple clothes whose entire body radiated thunderous light.

This purple-clothed old man emitted an extremely powerful Demonic Qi, and a phantom of a towering giant tree appeared behind him.

That giant tree phantom was surrounded by endless deep purple thunderous light.

"This aura... a demon cultivator?"

"Behind him is the phantom of a Profound Thunder Spiritual Tree!"

"Could he be a Profound Thunder Tree Demon!"

"It should be. This Profound Thunder Tree Demon seems to be at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm!"

"A Tree Demon at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm?"

Leng Xirou was somewhat surprised.

Spiritual Plant type demon cultivators are extremely rare, let alone a Tree Demon at the Enlightenment Realm.

Even in the Myriad Demon Domain, there aren't many Spiritual Plant demon cultivators.

At least when she was the White Fox Empress, she had never seen a Tree Demon at the Enlightenment Realm.

"Damnable Human Race, since you've discovered me, I won't hide anymore!"

"Those who trespass into our Tree Demon Clan's territory shall die!"

The Profound Thunder Tree Demon said in a gloomy tone.

He originally wanted to secretly manipulate the Ancient Restriction to kill these younger generation Human Race Cultivators so that his identity wouldn't be exposed.

After all, some younger generation Human Race Cultivators have trump cards left by powerful experts on them.

If he were to directly take action and kill these younger generation Human Race Cultivators,

it would expose the existence of their Tree Demon Clan.

If outside Cultivators knew that the Mysterious Fruit Forest hid a Tree Demon Clan, they would be in big trouble.

"Profound Thunder Extreme Domain!"

With a wave of the Profound Thunder Tree Demon's hand, the giant tree phantom behind him suddenly transformed into countless branches blooming with thunderous light, covering the surroundings and turning the area for several miles into a Domain surrounded by Profound Thunder. Endless Law thunderous light bloomed, and deep purple Profound Thunder continuously surged toward Su Yun and the others.

After releasing his Domain, he quietly waited for the four of them to be blown into fly ash by his Profound Thunder.

But in the next moment, he was dazed, staring wide-eyed at Su Yun and the others, murmuring:

"What? How is this possible?"

"Aren't you just a kid at the Dao Integration Realm?"

"To actually be able to withstand my Profound Thunder Extreme Domain?"

At this moment, a faint white spiritual light emanated from Su Yun's body.

This seemingly weak white spiritual light enveloped the four of them.

The powerful surrounding Profound Thunder was instantly devoured the moment it touched the white spiritual light.

"Too weak. It's my turn to act!"

"Eight Desolations Annihilation Palm!"

Su Yun extended his hand, and endless Annihilation Qi spread in all directions. The surrounding Profound Thunder was instantly swallowed by the Annihilation Qi, and a heart-palpitating aura was released.

Immediately after, he lightly waved his palm forward. In an instant, the world lost its color, and the endless Annihilation Qi transformed into a towering giant palm tens of thousands of feet in size, attacking the Profound Thunder Tree Demon.

"Kid, I admit you have some strength, but I am at the Enlightenment Realm!"

Seeing this, the Profound Thunder Tree Demon immediately became vigilant and fully activated the Profound Thunder Extreme Domain.

The sky full of Profound Thunder directly transformed into endless Thunder Dragons surging toward the towering giant palm.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The towering giant palm grew larger and larger, attacking forward with unstoppable force. Everything nearby, including the power of Profound Thunder Laws, was erased by the Annihilation Qi. The Profound Thunder Extreme Domain couldn't even last for a breath before it directly shattered.

The towering giant palm appeared in front of the Profound Thunder Tree Demon in an instant.

"What!"

"This..."

The Profound Thunder Tree Demon immediately felt something was wrong. He directly transformed into thunderous light, wanting to flee, but it was already too late.

The towering giant palm directly struck his body.

The Power of Annihilation instantly exploded, and a dazzling white light flashed.

A series of booming roars echoed through the clouds.

The Profound Thunder Tree Demon was directly turned into ashes.

At this moment, due to the disappearance of the controller, the ancient spiritual runes flickering in the nearby Void Realm instantly dimmed.

"I didn't expect such a high-Realm Tree Demon to be hidden within the Mysterious Fruit Forest!"

"Our Jade Pool Holy Land has explored so many times and never discovered it!"

Liu Ruoxi said in a heavy tone.

"There's likely more than one Tree Demon. According to what the Profound Thunder Tree Demon said, they are a clan."

"The power of the Ancient Restrictions on the outskirts becoming stronger was likely because these Tree Demons were controlling them from behind."

Su Yun said directly.

"This is no place to linger; let's leave here first!"

"Junior Brother Yun is right!"

Xie Yulan looked at Su Yun with some admiration and said softly.

That Enlightenment Realm Tree Demon just now really gave her a fright.

"After all, that was the Enlightenment Realm!"

"A Realm equivalent to that of a Holy Land Elder."

"She thought they would have to use all sorts of trump cards to escape this time."

"She didn't expect Junior Brother Yun to be so powerful that he could easily defeat a Tree Demon at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm."

Liu Ruoxi also nodded upon hearing this.

And Leng Xirou had even fewer objections.

Immediately, the four of them disappeared from the spot and rushed toward other areas... Not long after.

The place where the Profound Thunder Tree Demon had been destroyed.

Streaks of spiritual light flashed, and over a dozen figures appeared.

"A great battle took place here just now."

"Profound Thunder's aura also disappeared here!"

"Something's not right! Could Profound Thunder be dead?"

The Extreme Frost Tree Demon said with a solemn expression.

Immediately, he extended his hand, circulated law spiritual power, and activated a secret technique.

But he still couldn't sense the Profound Thunder Tree Demon's aura at all.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

The Profound Thunder Tree Demon was truly killed by someone!

"How is this possible?"

"Profound Thunder is dead?"

"He was at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm!"

The Cangmu Tree Demon standing aside said in disbelief.

"This is trouble. In that case, hasn't our Tree Demon Clan been exposed?"

"No, we must find the Human Race Cultivators who killed the Profound Thunder Tree Demon and deal with them, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"

"Go, let's hurry and pursue them!"

"The humans who killed Profound Thunder definitely haven't gone far!"

The Extreme Frost Tree Demon directly gave the order.

The Cangmu Tree Demon also nodded in agreement.

Soon, the group of Tree Demons transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from the spot.
