Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 394: Chapter 405: Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon

”Lin Feng, I just used Divine Sense to check the situation around us. I have one good news and one bad news for you, which one would you like to hear first?” Sword Spirit’s voice appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind.

”Start with the good news, so hearing the bad news later won’t be disappointing.” Chu Linfeng said.

”The good news is that the Wood Spirit Pearl is within five miles from you, and the Life Essence there is even stronger.” Sword Spirit said.

”That’s expected and can’t be considered good news. Tell me the bad news, it must be very difficult to obtain the Wood Spirit Pearl, and there must be a formidable Tree Demon there!” Chu Linfeng said.

”Correct, it will be extremely difficult to get the Wood Spirit Pearl. You might need to use the Lion Spirit Fist combined with the Water, Fire, and Earth Three Transformations to succeed. It’s very dangerous, be prepared mentally.” Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly turned serious.

”What’s the situation exactly? Is there a powerful Magical Beast there? If there are Tree Demons, I’ll just burn them down!” Chu Linfeng said, knowing Sword Spirit’s words were not simple.

”There is a Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon. Though it’s named thousand-year, it’s actually tens of thousands of years old. Yet this Tree Demon cannot transform into a human form, but speaking in human language should be no problem.

This Tree Demon’s defense has reached the point of being impervious to water and fire, even your flame comparable to Flame Fire poses little threat, and its power has attained the Saint Martial Realm level.” Sword Spirit said.

”Didn’t you say that without the Humorous Purple Orchid, one cannot break through to the Saint Martial Realm? Why does this Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon have such power?” Chu Linfeng asked, puzzled.

”While the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon cannot break into the Saint Martial Realm, over tens of thousands of years, its power may not remain weak. The Wood Spirit Pearl is within this Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon’s body, to obtain it, you must slay the Tree Demon.

Of course, you can also gain immense Life Essence, but the cost... I don’t know how else to describe it. This place isn’t actually an Illusion Realm, the entirety is created by the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon. Its roots likely spread over hundreds of kilometers, releasing an invisible gas that prevents the use of Star Power, called Demon Tree Miasma.

To slay this Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon, you must destroy its root system, otherwise, there’s no way because the Tree Demon is too large, dozens of times bigger than any Divine Wood I’ve seen.” Sword Spirit said.

”How big is it, shouldn’t it be tens of meters in diameter?” Chu Linfeng asked, already imagining the maximum possibility.

”Tens of meters? This Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon has a diameter of at least hundreds of meters, and a height of thousands of meters. Isn’t it strange why this tree can’t be seen outside, it’s because the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon secretes a powerful liquid. This liquid can make the entire trunk invisible under daylight.” Sword Spirit said.

”Oh my, such a huge tree, truly an ancient demon! I’m starting to lose confidence in slaying this Tree Demon with such a large body and formidable power, this would take ages to accomplish.” Hearing this, Chu Linfeng suddenly felt a sense of despair.

A diameter of hundreds of meters, even continuously attacking wouldn’t know how long it would take to destroy it, and crucially, the Tree Demon has strength comparable to the Saint Martial Realm. Really don’t know what to do.

”To obtain the Wood Spirit Pearl, sacrifices are indeed required, and it’s also a form of training. It’s an opportunity you need to seize well.” Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng originally wanted to say something but suddenly lost the mood. This task truly defies the heavens, but for the sake of strengthening power and responsibility, he had no choice but to proceed resolutely.

Though others cannot use Star Power, he can use a part of it—perhaps a breakthrough point. With a thought, he took out the Life Essence obtained from slaying the Tree Demon from his Storage Ring.

Sword Spirit said it can be absorbed, so absorb it and see if it has the beneficial effects she mentioned.

Immediately, Chu Linfeng slowly operated the Chaos Dragon Power within his body to start absorbing it. Indeed, the green Life Essence in his hand began to form a stream of energy, getting absorbed into his body. Though slow, it was absorption.

As the energy stream entered his body, Chu Linfeng felt as if every cell in his body was brimming with vitality, making him appear extremely spirited.

Gradually, a strange phenomenon occurred. As the absorbed energy entered his Dantian, his Chaos Dragon Power began to slowly integrate with it, and the integration speed was extremely swift.

In less than three hours, the Life Essence in Chu Linfeng’s hand was completely absorbed, and he felt his Chaos Dragon Power had grown stronger.

Looking at the sky, it was still early before daylight, so he took out another one to absorb. It wasn’t until he absorbed about five that Chu Linfeng stopped, as daylight had fully arrived.

When he absorbed the second Life Essence, the Chaos Dragon Power within him became fully usable; he knew it was definitely related to the Life Essence.

Chu Linfeng originally intended to let the Purple Demon Thunder Fox also absorb the Life Essence to restore the usage of Star Power, but he refrained from doing so, for the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon was too formidable. In case anything went wrong, he wouldn’t forgive himself.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng stood up, tightened his grip on the Cyan Frost Sword, and headed toward the direction of the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon, slaying many Tree Demons and obtaining several Life Essences along the way.

As the target grew nearer, the Aura of Life in the surrounding air became denser. Just as he was about to continue, an ancient voice entered his ear.

”Humans, how dare you slaughter my descendants! If I do not grind your bones to dust today, it won’t extinguish my anger. I will slowly torture you, making your death miserable.”

At the sound of this voice, Chu Linfeng knew it was the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon’s voice. Yet there was no sign of the giant tree Sword Spirit spoke of; perhaps the tree was invisible now? But Chu Linfeng found it unlikely.

”Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon, reveal your form! I’m not afraid of you, let’s have a real battle if you dare. Let’s see how I will slay you. By the way, the Life Essence and Wood Spirit Pearl inside you are precious!” Chu Linfeng declared defiantly.

”You’re seeking death!” The Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon roared with fury, followed by a deafening sound emerging before Chu Linfeng.

An enormous wooden wall appeared, hundreds of meters wide, and the height seemed unattainable. Chu Linfeng knew the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon had revealed its true form, and a destructive attack was about to commence.

Initiative is paramount; Chu Linfeng understood this well. He wouldn’t confront the Thousand-Year-Old Tree Demon directly. With a thought, he immediately performed Earth Transformation, diving underground...

PS: I intended to update this Chapter tomorrow, but readers complained updates are too infrequent, really gives me a headache, trying to stockpile drafts while maintaining a certain update frequency. Xiao Xiao can only do her best, asking for some motivation.
