126: Chapter 126 The Sendai Descends to Crush Withered Wood, the Sword Immortal Brews a Great Demon from a Pot

The root demon at Kuji Ridge let out a shrill, androgynous roar.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled, and the soil for a hundred zhang radius exploded outward.

Tens of thousands of thick black roots burst from the ground like a chaotic dance of demons!

Most horrifying of all, at the tip of every root that broke through the soil, a blood-red flower bud bloomed.

Hundreds, thousands of buds opened simultaneously, and inside each one was hidden a twisted, fang-filled woman's head!

"Eat him! Eat him!"

The countless heads dancing in the sky emitted shrill screams.

Carrying the suffocating, terrifying pressure of a Heavenly Human Realm Great Demon, they came strangling toward Ye Xiu like an overwhelming tide!

Facing this horrifying scene that would scare the wits out of an ordinary Cultivator, facing these thousands of roots that claimed to possess infinite regeneration, Ye Xiu did not retreat; he didn't even have the interest to draw his sword.

"A mere Kuji Ridge stump of the Heavenly Human Realm, and you dare to clamor before me?"

Ye Xiu sneered, lifted his right foot abruptly, and stomped heavily directly onto the rust-covered bronze Demon-Suppressing Stele!

"Boom!"

The physical strength of his Nine Transformations of Dragonization at Great Perfection, mixed with the Pure Yang True Qi of his newly broken-through Sendai Realm, flowed from the soles of Ye Xiu's feet like a cataclysmic volcanic eruption beneath the earth, crashing into the deepest part of the ground along the bronze stele!

The next second.

Those thousands of roots about to entwine around Ye Xiu suddenly froze as if electrocuted.

"Gurgle... Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

An extremely domineering Pure Yang True Fire erupted from within the core of the root tree demon's main body!

"Ah!!!"

Hundreds of women's heads screamed in agony simultaneously.

Their proud "infinite regeneration" ability became a joke under the absolute high-temperature crushing.

The newly grown roots were burned to ashes by the Pure Yang True Fire before they could even emerge from the soil.

So much for the terrifying vitality of the Heavenly Human Realm, so much for the endless, unkillable infinite regeneration.

Under the dimensionality reduction strike of a Sendai Realm Great Expert, this was a complete joke!

"Sen... Sendai Realm?! You are a supreme expert at the Peak of the Divine Bridge Realm!!"

Deep underground, the root tree demon's main body finally let out a desperate and terrified roar.

It had been suppressed in Kuji Ridge for hundreds of years, devouring the flesh and blood of countless passing Cultivators, believing it had long since tempered this wood demon body to be indestructible.

It had thought it encountered an arrogant martial artist with tender skin and soft flesh.

Who could have imagined that hidden within this white-clad youth was a supreme Divine Platform suppressing all Dao!

This was the fatal despair brought by an information gap.

"Only realized it now? Too late."

Ye Xiu sneered, and his right foot, which was stepping on the bronze Demon-Suppressing Stele, exerted force abruptly.

"Crack—Boom!"

The rust-covered bronze Demon-Suppressing Stele, weighing tens of thousands of jin, could not withstand the terrifying physical strength of Ye Xiu's Nine Transformations of Dragonization at Great Perfection.

It shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, eventually turning into a sky full of bronze debris!

Having lost the obstruction of the Demon-Suppressing Stele, the Pure Yang True Fire within Ye Xiu's body was like a wild horse losing its reins.

It transformed into a thick golden fire dragon, roaring as it burrowed into the deepest part of the earth.

It went straight for the target, locking onto the root tree demon's massive main body tree.

"I am not reconciled! I am not reconciled!!!"

The root tree demon felt the destructive aura capable of completely erasing it and let out a hysterical roar.

At the moment of life and death, this old demon who had lived for thousands of years directly performed the "Substitution" life-saving technique.

With a muffled "bang."

The massive tree body deep underground, as large as a mountain, instantly self-destructed, turning into a sky full of black, foul-smelling tree sap.

And the core Primordial Spirit of the root tree demon, which had condensed thousands of years of cultivation, used the cover of the explosion to transform into a withered tree root only the size of a thumb.

Like a black lightning bolt, it frantically burrowed into the deep earth on the outskirts of Kuji Ridge.

As long as it could escape with a sliver of its Primordial Spirit, as long as it could still touch the soil.

Given a few hundred years, it could still devour flesh and blood and grow back into a towering Great Demon!

"Want to run?"

Ye Xiu stood in place, too lazy to even move a step. His golden and silver heterochromatic eyes revealed extreme mockery, like looking down at an ant.

"In front of this Sect Leader's Sendai Domain, the Void Realm for a hundred miles around has been welded shut by me. Where do you think you're going?"

As the words fell.

The nine-story white jade Sendai in Ye Xiu's Sea of Consciousness vibrated slightly.

An invisible yet vast Domain Law instantly enveloped the entire Kuji Ridge.

Deep underground, the withered tree root that was digging frantically suddenly went "bang."

It felt as if it had hit an indestructible transparent divine wall, and was directly repelled, its demon soul nearly scattering.

It discovered in despair that the originally soft soil around it had now become harder than Nine Heavens divine iron!

The Spatial Law was forcibly locked; it had become a pathetic insect sealed in amber.

"Since you rotten piece of wood have such vigorous vitality, it would be a pity to just burn you."

Ye Xiu reached out his right hand into the air and grabbed at the Void Realm abruptly.

"Boom!"

The earth was split open as if by an invisible giant sword. The withered tree root that was tightly locked in the soil was forcibly pulled out of the ground by an irresistible force, landing precisely in Ye Xiu's palm.

The tree root struggled violently in Ye Xiu's hand, manifesting a miniature, twisted human face, screaming shrilly for mercy:

"Spare me, Immortal! Spare me, Sect Leader! This small demon has buried countless Heaven And Earth Treasure under this Kuji Ridge, and the Spirit Stone and Medicinal Pill accumulated over these few hundred years are all in my secret vault! As long as you raise your hand, this small demon is willing to offer everything and be your mountain-protecting tree for generations to come!"

"Secret vault?"

Ye Xiu sneered, looking at the tree root in his hand like it was an idiot:

"After you die, digging three feet into this Kuji Ridge, your things will still belong to my Heavenly Demon Sect. Why would I want a rotten piece of wood that only knows how to eat people as a sacred tree? Isn't that bad luck?"

Ye Xiu used his other hand to leisurely untie the purple-red wine gourd from his waist, using his thumb to flick open the gourd stopper.

"However, your vegetation essence and life Origin as a thousand-year Great Demon are rare items."

A glint flashed in Ye Xiu's golden and silver heterochromatic eyes, and his smile carried a hint of evil:

"This Sect Leader happens to have two pregnant women at home carrying Dragon Bloodlines, and their consumption of Spiritual Qi is huge every day. Since you delivered yourself to my door, today this Sect Leader will brew a demon in a gourd, and boil your cultivation into a nourishing fetal-calming wine!"

"Brew... brewing wine?!"

The root tree demon's Primordial Spirit was so scared that it was Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

It had eaten people its whole life, and never in its dreams did it imagine that one day it would be treated as medicinal material for brewing wine by a human!

It still wanted to desperately self-destruct its demon pill, but Ye Xiu didn't give it a chance.

"Refine!"

With a point of Ye Xiu's fingertip, the Pure Yang True Fire instantly wrapped around that withered tree root.

But this was not destructive burning, but the exquisite, extreme refinement of a Sendai Realm Great Expert!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Accompanied by the root tree demon's last shrill, tragic scream, its Primordial Spirit consciousness was completely erased by the domineering Pure Yang True Fire.

Following that, the resentment, toxins, and foul-smelling Impurities accumulated from years of devouring human blood were all meticulously removed and evaporated by the True Fire.

In Ye Xiu's palm, that withered and ugly tree root began to melt and purify rapidly.

Eventually, it transformed into a cluster of emerald-green spiritual liquid, only the size of a fist, yet emitting a refreshing fragrance and as crystal clear as top-quality jade!

This was the purest, most concentrated vegetation life Origin of a Heavenly Human Realm Great Demon after stripping away all Impurities!

Even the faint fragrance it emitted caused green shoots to sprout again on the scorched land around Kuji Ridge.

"Collect."

Ye Xiu tossed the purple-red wine gourd into mid-air.

The gourd mouth emitted a powerful suction force, swallowing the entire cluster of emerald-green life Origin without wasting a drop.

"Clang."

Ye Xiu caught the falling wine gourd, put the stopper back on, and shook it forcefully in his hand twice.

Listening to the crisp sound of water coming from inside, he raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.

"Thousand-year root demon original pulp, paired with the base of Western Region spirits, this wood-type vitality is so rich it's about to overflow. Once Youyou and Jingjing drink this, it's guaranteed to raise the True Dragon Bloodlines in their bellies nice and plump."
