Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 803: Chapter 509: Red Source Immortal Tree, Blessed Fruit! (Double Chapter)

While the Great Demons and the Human Race Grandmasters were locked in a chaotic slaughter, only that Old Tree Demon still silently pressed against the Immortal Tree Barrier, releasing its own Wood Elemental Life Force, attempting to awaken this Ancient Immortal Tree that was on the verge of revival.

Until a certain moment, the Old Tree Demon’s expression quivered, sensing the Immortal Tree’s resonance.

The power of the Barrier began to grow thin, as if it were a Divine Technique intentionally recalled by the Immortal Tree.

For a time, even the Old Tree Demon could not tell whether the Immortal Tree had been awakened by him, or by the upheaval caused by the great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race.

The grassy earth within the entire ring shaped mountain began to violently shake, and rocks once again came crashing down.

Song Changming glanced sideways, and those thick segments of roots also began to move, like wooden dragons, as if they were about to flip the entire stretch of land upside down.

Just from this, those roots that had pierced through Black Mountain, including that thousand-zhang tree trunk exposed above, were still only the tip of the iceberg.

More parts of the tree’s body were deeply buried under the earth, its roots coiling in endless tangles; heaven only knew how enormous this giant tree truly was.

”The Barrier is about to dissolve!” Very soon, a Great Demon let out a low cry.

Song Changming naturally also took note of the energy changes on the surface of the Barrier, and exchanged a glance with Hua Sichen, Situ Ming, and the others.

Even that Elder Grandmaster who had previously proposed retreating had changed his mind at this moment.

Once the Barrier dispersed, those bright red Immortal Fruits growing on the Immortal Tree would seemingly be there for the taking.

With such a tremendous opportunity about to descend, no one was willing to give up now.

And at the very instant the Barrier fully closed, that immense Repulsive Force atop Black Mountain surged in from all directions like a sky-covering tide, instantly shrouding the entire space within the ring shaped mountain.

Boom!

Some weaker Great Demons were directly crushed deep into the ground by this sudden Repulsive Force, coughing blood incessantly.

Song Changming and the others naturally also felt this immense Repulsive Force, as if it had gone mad and wanted to tear the fleshly bodies of these living beings to shreds.

However, this group of Martial Arts Grandmasters had sufficient cultivation; relying on their Master’s Power to forcibly withstand this Black Mountain Repulsive Force, they did not appear overly wretched, though opposing this force was no small drain on them.

Under such circumstances, it was hard to say how much of their strength they could still bring to bear.

And as wave after wave of Repulsive Force pressed down, very soon, almost all the Grandmasters and Great Demons had also fallen onto the fissured, layer upon layer of broken earth.

By this time, some Great Demons who were closer and could not wait any longer moved first, crossing what had originally been the Barrier’s range and advancing toward that Immortal Tree.

Among the Human Race Grandmasters, Hua Sichen was the first to move; the Master’s Power throughout his body surged like blazing flames as he braced against the powerful Repulsive Force, stepping across the shattered ground one footprint at a time toward the Immortal Tree.

His movement also spurred the other Martial Arts Grandmasters, who successively moved to approach the Immortal Tree.

The Immortal Fruits growing on that Immortal Tree numbered only twenty or thirty at most; if one was not proactive and moved too slowly, they would be picked clean by those Great Demons.

Song Changming also set his sights on a particularly unusual Immortal Fruit, and followed, lifting his feet to walk forward.

Given his endurance, he could actually move faster under the Repulsive Force pressing on his body.

But to guard against unforeseen changes, he, acting with caution, did not rush as eagerly as those Great Demons.

Seeing Song Changming move, Situ Ming immediately followed closely behind.

Bai Qing, Huaqing Pool, and the others also followed in silence; no one wished to fall behind in the face of this great opportunity.

Very soon, a Lion Demon who was the first to reach the foot of the Immortal Tree fixed his lion eyes on those high-hanging Immortal Fruits, and was about to mobilize his full Demon Power to fly up and pluck them.

Yet at the very moment he leapt, a sudden change occurred.

From within the Immortal Tree, a vine covered in green leaves suddenly shot out, tightly entwining the Lion Demon.

”What?!” The Lion Demon was greatly alarmed; had there been no Repulsive Force pressing on him, he might still have had the chance to dodge away.

But at this moment, with the vine coiled around him, even struggling free became incomparably difficult.

More importantly, the surface of these vines was covered in a dense layer of spikes.

The spikes effortlessly pierced into the Lion Demon’s skin, which was as hard as bedrock, and then, like ravenous leeches, madly drew out all kinds of energy nurtured within this Great Demon’s flesh and blood.

The Lion Demon let out a roar filled with terror and panic, struggling all the more desperately.

Yet the strength he prided himself on was actually unable to deal with such a small vine at this moment; instead, it only caused the vine to bind tighter and tighter!

His Tao Practice was declining, his Demon Power was draining away, and even his Life Force had become nourishment for the vine—no, for that Immortal Tree!

His Heart and Spirit grew dazed, and in the end, with eyes devoid of light, he lost all signs of life.

That dignified Great Demon’s body was now shriveled like a ragged sack; once the vine withdrew, it tumbled back to the ground, utterly still.

A mighty Great Demon perished just like that—so easily, so suddenly, catching everyone completely off guard.

”There’s something strange about this ancient tree!”

”Something’s not right!”

All the Human Race Grandmasters and Great Demons who witnessed this scene halted their steps toward the tree, their faces full of shock.

Many among them, both humans and demons, had considered the possibility that this revived ancient Immortal Tree might be dangerous, but none had expected that this danger could so casually cause a Great Demon of no small strength to fall.

They wanted to obtain the Immortal Fruits on the tree, but it seemed that the Immortal Tree after revival was not so welcoming of their picking.

Song Changming stood on the edge of the former Barrier, no longer stepping inside.

”What should we do, Changming?” Situ Ming asked, his expression grave.

”We watch a bit longer.” Song Changming had no intention of acting rashly.

”It’s merely a vine, what is there to fear!” A Great Demon of the Leopard Race, whose body was covered in mottled spots, rasped, his steps unceasing; while all the other Great Demons had halted, he became the second existence to approach the Immortal Tree.
