Chapter 895: Chapter 894: Deathless Divine Tree (Part 3)

”Squeak squeak.” The Devouring Qilin was excited, making thrilled sounds.

”Don’t get excited too soon, can you take down those terrifying demon beasts we just encountered?”

The Devouring Qilin thought for a moment and then nodded.

”That’s more like it. If you can’t do it after consuming so much, I won’t keep you.”

The Devouring Qilin immediately showed a pitiful expression.

”Alright, go quickly.”

”Squeak squeak.” The Devouring Qilin said and quickly left.

Soon, the Devouring Qilin arrived at the corpses of the demon beasts, and with a few gulps, devoured them all.

But just after it finished devouring, an unexpected change occurred—a change that even the Devouring Qilin hadn’t anticipated. Its aura began to surge wildly, about to break through a realm.

The aura of the Devouring Qilin’s breakthrough was bizarre, emitting black energy all around, similar to Mu Chen’s black energy. The power of devouring was terrifying, and besides this strange change, mysterious patterns appeared all over the Devouring Qilin—a gift-like feature, representing a family symbol, or perhaps something else. In sum, the strange transformation of the Devouring Qilin left Mu Chen astonished.

”This demon beast is not simple!” Hera and others descended to Mu Chen’s side, observing the bizarre changes in the Devouring Qilin, somewhat shocked.

However, everyone could only engage in heated discussions.

”It should be breaking through to the Sealess Realm. This Devouring Qilin’s progress is more terrifying than anyone’s, as if realms come at no cost.” Mu Chen was shocked, kneeling before the Devouring Qilin.

”Just now I said it could defeat those powerful entities, and now it’s breaking through. What about its strength now? It should be capable of matching my power, right?” Mu Chen continued to mutter.

Yet amid the discussions, the Devouring Qilin’s breakthrough was swift, not as prolonged as expected, stabilizing its aura at the Peak of Sealess Realm middle stage in just a few hours, with some energy yet fully refined. The Devouring Qilin could be called truly defying nature, the most fearsome among mutated demon beasts.

Demon beasts evolve, whether bloodlines of the strongest earth and heaven beasts like the Divine Dragon or other fearsome creatures slightly inferior to the Divine Dragon. Mutated demon beasts are the most terrifying. Mutation represents evolution, and oftentimes, even Divine Dragons might not be able to slay these fearsome mutant beasts.

”Boss.” The Devouring Qilin excitedly approached Mu Chen, extremely animated.

”You can speak?” Mu Chen was shocked, and the other Emperors were equally astounded.

”I don’t know myself. After the breakthrough, I feel much smarter and even inherited a bit of legacy. I inherited the human speech, so now I can speak without having to learn.” The Devouring Qilin explained seriously.

”I see, then can you transform into a human form?” Mu Chen asked.

The Devouring Qilin immediately shook its head with a helpless expression.

”When can you transform into a human form?”

”I don’t know,” the Devouring Qilin said pitifully.

”So cute.” Su Fei and Liu Yuxi couldn’t hold back, immediately hugging and squeezing the Devouring Qilin.

”Oh, come on, can’t I at least finish my sentence?” Mu Chen felt like crying.

After a loud commotion, Mu Chen and the others discussed their next move, and one by one, disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Mu Chen’s group seemed like reapers of death; wherever they passed, the corpses of demon beasts lay strewn about, as the Devouring Qilin continued to reap the benefits, consuming along the way.

However, after slaying nearly two thousand demon beasts, the forest shook, and a towering tree suddenly emerged, engulfing all life around it. The demon beasts and the tree transformed into an enormous ten-thousand-meter giant, emitting a despairing aura.

At ten thousand meters tall, it surpassed even Mount Everest. It was imaginable what kind of existence Mu Chen and the group were, feeling like ants in comparison.

Moreover, after the appearance of this giant tree, a Xuanwu Divine Beast and Qiongqi showed up, and behind Qiongqi, there was a massive toad, followed by a several-hundred-meter-large bee-like creature, incredibly astonishing.

”This giant tree, it’s terrifying! And that massive toad, and the bee-like demon beast, they seem even more bizarre and terrifying. Have we provoked the mightiest entity here?” Many voices trembled with fear.

”Interesting, this is interesting.” Mu Chen smiled, considering the giant tree as a test of strength. Slaying the tree and these formidable beings would certainly yield terrifying benefits; this was an opportunity.

The more terrifying something is, the less human experts dare to venture, but Mu Chen was willing to take the risk, knowing it would result in obtaining a terrifying Demon Core,

”Evil God, do you have confidence in slaying this bizarre giant tree?” Athena asked.

”Beautiful lady, whether or not I can slay it, perhaps you won’t lend a hand?” Mu Chen said with a sudden smile.

”I am in concern...” However, Athena abruptly cut herself off, saying nothing more.

”What’s the matter, my dear? Worried about me?” Mu Chen teased.

”I didn’t say anything. If you wish to go and kill it, then be my guest,” Athena said promptly.

Yet many people laughed heartily, sensing that the two seemed to harbor some unspeakable secret.

”You rascal, are you flirting?” Liu Yuxi immediately pinched Mu Chen’s ear, speaking earnestly.

”Wife, wife, you’ve misunderstood me. I was just answering questions.”

”Really?”

”Absolutely true.”

”Then that’s alright, but are you really going to make a move?” Liu Yuxi asked.

”I feel I have no choice but to take action. We’re already surrounded, if you know what I mean.”

”Surrounded, boy, what do you mean?” Emperor’s face changed as he asked.

”Look around you,” Mu Chen said seriously.

”Look around?” Not just the Emperor, others also turned to look around.

Once they looked, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. The surrounding giant trees inexplicably withered in patches, transforming into massive tree nets, instantly forming a protective barrier over them, preventing escape.

”This...”

Everyone was at a loss for words, only knowing the scent of danger.

”What kind of giant tree is this? So eerie, terrifying,” the crowd questioned.

”Humans, I am the Undying Divine Tree, guardian of this place. Originally, I had no intention of disturbing you, but unfortunately, you incurred my wrath with your wanton slaughter.” The giant tree spoke angrily.

”Wanton slaughter? Yet humans entering here die by the droves, why don’t you label that wanton slaughter?” Mu Chen retorted with a sneer.

”If you hadn’t entered here, why would we need to kill you?”

”Without legacies or benefits here, why would we come in? That question is amusing.”

”It seems you are courting death.” The Undying Divine Tree’s killing intent surged, countless branches converging, ready to strike.
