Chapter 875 Dragon Tree Saint Ancestor
Qin Ming sneered, grabbed Emperor Chen Saint Son with his large hand, and placed several restrictions on his body.

Then, like throwing away trash, it was dumped into Xiaoling's territory.

"In that case, why don't we just kill you when we return to the Myriad Ze Demon Kingdom?"

Even Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, never expected this.

This white ape demon general possesses such a large blessed land, which has essentially formed a small world, capable of containing numerous living creatures.

The Mountain and Sea Pearl he had previously hidden, which was used by the Golden Turtle Clan, also had this effect, but it was not on the same level as Qin Ming's Lesser Spirit Realm.

A treasure like the Lesser Spirit Realm, which has already formed an independent small world, is something that even a powerful monster in the Mahayana stage would find difficult to create and possess.

Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, was like a statue, speechless, and was thrown to the ground.

And the outside world.

When One-Eyed Owl saw Qin Ming casually move around and somehow manage to get rid of the Holy Son Di Chen, he immediately frowned.

Although the other party's life or death was none of his concern, he had also come along on orders, and he would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned.

But the Xuan Shui Crocodile's gaze was cold and sharp, giving him no time to think about these things.

His eyes transformed into a pair of vertical pupils, and dark golden dragon scales grew on his body, instantly transforming him into a half-human, half-dragon form with a thick tail behind him.

His explosive muscles bulged high, making him look like a cold-blooded overlord devoid of any emotion.

Xuan Shui Crocodile raised his black wolf-tooth club high, instantly summoning countless divine thunderbolts from the heavens. Amidst the swirling black clouds, one could vaguely see dark thunder dragons roaring and tumbling within them.

Boom Kaka!
Xuan Shui Crocodile suddenly gathered its strength and then slammed the black wolf-tooth club in its hand down into the void in front of it.

All of a sudden.

Black lightning flashed in the space, and a terrifying aura swept out in all directions.

The black wolf-tooth mace, drawing upon the power of divine lightning from the heavens, traversed tens of thousands of feet and instantly landed before the one-eyed owl.

The one-eyed owl was also an extremely ruthless individual. He immediately began burning his life essence and injecting it into the longsword in his hand, then fiercely slashed at the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

As the two clashed, a blinding ball of intense sunlight rose slowly from the center of the collision.
Qin Ming could also see that the Xuan Shui Crocodile wanted to improve its cultivation in battle, so it used the One-Eyed Owl as its touchstone.

Since arriving in the Ancient Demon Realm, his strength has undergone a transformation. With the blessing of two ancient true spirit bloodlines, he is rarely matched among the sixth-order demon race.

For decades, the Xuan Shui Crocodile has led the Longevity Army of the Water Mansion in battles across the land, cultivating a unique aura of malevolence and a leader's charisma.

Through battles and conquests, he had been thoroughly honed.

Perhaps this is his path.

If I can defeat the One-Eyed Owl this time, my cultivation level might experience another qualitative leap.

Therefore, Qin Ming did not intervene again, but instead raised his hand and put away the True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain.

His attention immediately turned to the battle situation above.

The Golden Beetle threw out a high-level golden talisman, and a burst of spiritual light appeared in the void, revealing a golden cage that enveloped the woman in the phoenix crown.

Then, with a flick of his finger, countless tiny silver swords, under his control, formed a powerful sword array, gleaming with pure silver light, and slashed towards the phoenix-crowned woman in the cage.

Within the golden sword light, there seemed to be an extremely powerful destructive force. The sword light crisscrossed, as if it wanted to completely annihilate what was inside.

Qin Ming originally thought that the phoenix-crowned woman in the golden cage would also find it difficult to withstand such powerful methods.

Unexpectedly, the instant the golden sword light pierced her body, several plumes of thick black smoke suddenly billowed out from her body, and demonic energy surged wildly.

Qin Ming was all too familiar with this kind of demonic energy; it was the true demonic energy unique to the ancient demon realm.

"The fact that this evil phoenix has become like this is most likely related to the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Realm," said the old demon Qingyang, frowning.

Just as the Golden Beetle unleashed its extraordinary abilities, attempting to completely annihilate the Evil Phoenix.

The appearance of the woman in the phoenix crown changed drastically in an instant. She looked like she was surrounded by demonic energy, and her cultivation aura had risen to a higher level than before.

Her every move exuded an unparalleled aura, as if she had become a completely different person.

He said in a surprised tone:

"To be able to trap the demonic soul of this ancient phoenix with just a clone, you are quite interesting. However, since you have only sent a clone, then we shall stop here."

After saying that, the woman in the phoenix crown smiled wickedly.

Behind her, countless dark, illusory branches suddenly sprouted and spread, instantly shattering the trapping formation cast by the Golden Beetle.

puff!

It seemed like a casual strike, utterly effortless.

The golden beetle was also taken aback by what it saw.

He was well aware that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have to go through a great deal of trouble to break through with the top-tier sixth-order Spirit-Trapping Talisman he had unleashed.

The woman in the phoenix crown, after turning to the dark side, not only seemed like a completely different person, but her strength also seemed to have undergone a leap.

However, it is certain that the chaos this time was caused by the Shadow.

Even in the very beginning, the news that the phoenix perched on the sacred parasol tree in this place was very likely deliberately spread by them.

The goal is to attract winged races like the Night Owl Clan, and gradually restore their strength by absorbing their life essence.

At this moment, nourished by a large amount of essence blood and demon souls, the demonic shadow hidden behind it gradually revealed itself.

The demonic phantom behind the woman in the phoenix crown resembled leaves and branches, or some kind of twisted monster; combined, it evoked a sense of terror.

The instant the demonic shadow appeared.

The dense branches pierced through the void once again, striking directly at the golden beetle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Golden Beetle immediately took out a seventh-level protective talisman and a turtle shell of extremely high quality, which should also be made from a molted Xuan Turtle shell.

puff!puff!
However, the branches formed by those demonic shadows instantly broke through the defensive measures released by the golden beetle one by one, and then, without diminishing their momentum, they directly pierced into its body and began to suck its blood.

Even the golden beetle's clone was no match for it.

Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. The attack methods of these strange black vines seemed to be quite similar to those of his own natal spiritual plant.
And just then.

Upon seeing the demonic shadow hidden within the woman in the phoenix crown make its move, the old demon Qingyang immediately recognized its origins and background, and couldn't help but exclaim in great surprise:
"It's actually the Dragon Tree Ancestor! How did he get entangled with this ancient true phoenix?"

"Dragon Tree Ancestor?" Upon hearing this, Qin Ming knew that this demon must be a figure in the ancient demon realm with a status similar to that of the Six Paths Ancestor.

"That's right, but the demonic shadow we see now is probably just its remaining will. I estimate that it was injured in a battle with the True Phoenix and ended up in this state."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming suddenly understood. No wonder the ancient phoenix could ascend to immortality here.

Logically speaking, beings like the True Phoenix should have extremely long lifespans. Unless they perish midway through their lives, they would not be left with only their spirit.

The situation on the scene has now changed again, and Jin Guizi is also in danger due to the sudden attack by Longshu Shengzu.

His life force was being rapidly drained by the demonic shadow, turning his face deathly pale and causing his aura to gradually weaken. Seeing this, Qin Ming immediately wanted to help, but for a moment he didn't know how to proceed.

After all, the other party was merely an illusory remnant of will that had awakened along with the ancient phoenix.

"Let me give it a try, but I can only suppress his will temporarily. The reason why the remnant will of the Dragon Tree Ancestor can exist for so long is related to the withered Phoenix Perching Wutong Divine Tree in front of us."

"This Demon Realm Saint Ancestor's original divine power can be used through a ten-thousand-year-old divine tree. Therefore, there must be a true demonic energy in this tree to support it. He cannot leave this tree even half a step, otherwise this wisp of his will will dissipate."

"With your current abilities, young friend Qin, it shouldn't be difficult to extract the demonic energy from this sacred parasol tree."

"Perhaps we can strike at the root of this old man's problems."

Upon hearing that Qingyang the Old Demon had a solution, Qin Ming's spirits immediately lifted.

He immediately agreed to their suggestion; now he had no choice but to give it a try.

If the combined clone sent by the Golden Beetle were to perish in the Ancient Demon Realm, wouldn't the other party turn Little Turtle Peak upside down after Qin Ming returned to the Spirit Realm?

Just as the demonic branches were greedily absorbing the blood of the golden beetle, unable to extricate themselves...

The old demon Qingyang's soul flew out and viciously pounced on the other party, immediately invading that remaining will.

"Hehehe! You brat Longshu, you've finally fallen on hard times."

The demonic shadow was caught off guard by the sudden attack and immediately slowed down its absorption of essence blood.

"You you are"

The woman with the phoenix crown from the True Phoenix Clan also broke free from the control of the Dragon Tree Saint Ancestor.

A sliver of clarity and spirit returned to her dull, empty gaze, though not much.

The Old Demon Qingyang made his move.

This immediately relieved Jin Guizi's pressure. Although he didn't understand what had happened, he knew without much thought that it was probably related to that kid, 'Li Qianjie'.

He didn't have time to ask any more questions at the moment.

Qin Ming then formed a profound hand seal and activated the "Demon True Power Technique." The demonic infant spirit on the black lotus in his central palace immediately made the same movement, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

All of a sudden.

A surge of immense demonic energy erupted from within Qin Ming, transforming him into a towering, thousand-armed demonic figure, his body adorned with purple-gold demonic patterns, making him appear like a demon god.

The one-eyed owl, who was being beaten down by the black water crocodile below, looked up and saw this scene, still showing an expression of disbelief:
"Such pure and immense demonic energy is not right. Could it be that you are not a demon?"

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

If this is true, wouldn't it mean that a powerful spy, capable of threatening and shaking the entire demon race, has infiltrated the upper echelons of the ancient demon realm?
Furthermore, it is highly likely that it is from the demon race.

The news that the White Ape Demon General was actually an ancient demon was so shocking that even One-Eyed Owl couldn't accept it for a moment.

At this moment, all he could think about was how to get this message out.
But would Xuan Shui Crocodile ever give him such an opportunity?

Immediately, the power in his hands surged, and he swung the black spiked club, unleashing a barrage of blows.

……

the other side.

Taking advantage of Qingyang Old Demon's restraint of the Dragon Tree Saint Ancestor's remaining will, Qin Ming directly embraced the entire scorched Phoenix Perching Wutong Divine Tree, activating his own demonic energy to draw out the true demonic energy hidden within the divine tree.

In just two breaths, he sensed the location of that true demonic energy.

A hint of excitement also appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.

"Old Demon Qingyang is right, it truly possesses the aura of a demon."

Putting everything else aside, Qin Ming's trip was worthwhile just for obtaining this item.

True demonic energy is a heaven-defying opportunity in the ancient demon realm, coveted by countless demon sons and demon citizens. It can even be used in other wonderful ways by some powerful figures from other races.

Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit began to activate the incantation, opening its mouth to inhale, and peeled the true demonic energy from the withered tree, gradually absorbing it into its body.

On the treetop, the Dragon Tree Ancestor, who was fighting to the death with the Old Demon Qingyang, naturally sensed that something was wrong.

His unreal face, unusually, revealed a look of shock and anger, as he cursed:
"Damn it!"

He knew very well that once Qin Ming completely extracted the true demonic energy from the tree, his own will would eventually dissipate and turn into the dust of history.

How could the Holy Ancestor Nagarjuna be willing to accept this?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and immediately one of the leaves of the demonic shadow abruptly opened, releasing a beam of black light that disappeared into the withered tree.

The moment the black light entered, the sacred phoenix tree, which had been dead for tens of thousands of years, seemed to come back to life.

"Oh no, it's actually the spirit of the Wutong Divine Tree!" Old Demon Qingyang exclaimed.

Clearly, this tree spirit has also been corrupted by the Dragon Tree Saint Ancestor and become a part of him. However, as a tree that has already disappeared in the ancient demon realm, the Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Divine Tree contains a divine essence within its spirit.

It's not that simple.

This tree has cultivated itself for tens of thousands of years; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it has become a spirit.

After all, according to Qingyang the Old Demon, the Dragon Tree Ancestor who is currently causing trouble for them is a demonic plant from the ancient demon realm that has cultivated to the point of enlightenment, and it is capable of anything.

Qin Ming was absorbing the true demonic energy when he was shocked to discover that the tree spirit, mixed in with the demonic energy, had directly entered his body.

boom! !

In an instant, the essence accumulated by the Wutong Divine Tree over tens of thousands of years of cultivation was released from Qin Ming's body.
It also carries a trace of the immortal divinity unique to the sacred tree.

The Dragon Tree Ancestor intended to use the wisp of immortal divinity contained within the tree spirit to completely detonate the true demonic energy within Qin Ming's body and then use the Wutong Divine Tree to draw life force in reverse.

Qin Ming also realized something was wrong and immediately felt the magical power within his body begin to expand violently.

at this time.

Behind Qin Ming, the phantom of a verdant and towering immortal tree involuntarily appeared.

It was the result of his cultivation of the Ephemeral Chapter of the Eternal Azure Emperor Technique that gave him an immortal and indestructible body!

The ancient tree's divine essence, originally intended to burst Qin Ming's spirit, combined with the cultivation essence released by the tree spirit, flowed into the spiritual plant phantom behind him like a giant whale swallowing the sea.

Suddenly.

Just moments later.

His immortal and indestructible celestial body and spiritual plant phantom seemed to have received some kind of great tonic, directly growing three inches taller and sprouting many leaves and branches.

At the same time, Qin Ming's "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique" has reached the pinnacle of the Mayfly Chapter!
The primordial energy of heaven and earth, stretching for thousands of miles, seemed to be drawn by some force, transforming into colorful mayflies that converged toward Qin Ming's location as if on a pilgrimage.
