Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 91: Treasure House of Heaven and Earth, Confrontation with the Black Water Mystic Snake, and the Appearance of the Yellow Bird!
Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi continued to fly upwards. As they climbed higher, the fog became thinner and the full picture of the giant tree gradually appeared before their eyes.

You can see that branches have appeared on this giant tree, but what is more eye-catching is the vine-like plant wrapped around the trunk. This vine has crisscrossing vines and huge leaves. There are also colorful flowers blooming on the top of the branches and leaves, and the rich fragrance is overwhelming.

Not long after, as two rays of light broke out of the fog, the view suddenly became clear. The sky was blue and cloudless, and white fog surrounded the giant tree in front of them. The closer they got to the giant tree, the thicker the fog became.

At this moment, in front of the two of them, two huge tree trunks stretched to the left and right. Seeing this, Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi also flew towards the trunk on the left. This flight took quite a while. The nameless vines that had been entwined with the giant tree from the bottom spread all the way to the trunk. Flowers bloomed everywhere, and the vines became more and more numerous and thicker, including the blooming flowers. In the end, they were everywhere, like a sea of ​​flowers.

In the sea of ​​flowers stood a stone gate five meters high and three meters wide, embedded in the tree trunk. It was surrounded by countless vines and flowers, leaving only a thick boulder in the middle, on which were engraved four large characters: Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven.

After Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi exchanged a glance, they landed on the sea of ​​flowers. A breeze blew by, and countless flowers swayed gently, looking quite spectacular at first glance.

Before the two of them could take a look, they suddenly heard a faint roar coming from under the giant tree. A moment later, Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi both felt a slight tremor coming from the trunk of the towering tree under their feet.

"Qi Ye, why do you still use the incarnation of evil thoughts?" Lu Xueqi asked softly.

"Although my body has broken through the Taiqing realm, it has not reached the peak and can only barely bear my original soul. According to my original estimate, it would take about ten years, but because of you, I woke up early, so that if I use my previous strength, all that awaits me is the disintegration of my body." Chen Qiye shook his head and said.

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly, her eyes full of heartache and worry. She reached out and gently held Chen Qiye's hand. She didn't want to wait for another ten years, otherwise, she was afraid that she would go crazy.

At this moment, an extremely loud roar came out from the fog, but the sound was somewhat familiar. Almost at the same time, the tree trunk under the two people's feet shook violently. The next second, six figures suddenly appeared from the direction of the big tree trunk and flew over quickly, one in front and five behind.

In the blink of an eye, it flew nearby. Lu Xueqi and Chen Qiye looked over there and saw that the five people who had been chasing them all the way found that someone had gotten there first. They couldn't help but be shocked and then stopped.

At the front was a charming young woman, who was none other than Jin Ping'er from the Hehuan Sect, and following behind her were people from the righteous sect, including Zhang Xiaofan and others who had been left at a distance by the two earlier.

Jin Ping'er had previously seen the golden light of a rare treasure appearing in the world, and had shaken off the pursuit of Xiao Yicai, Yan Hong, and Fashan, but she did not expect to meet Zhang Xiaofan and a group of five people under this giant tree, who were chasing her all the way.

"Should I call you Ghost Prince Ji Zai now, or Chen Qiye from Qingyun Sect?" Jin Ping'er glanced at everyone in the scene. As a member of the Demon Sect, she naturally knew some past events. Almost everyone in the Demon Sect knew that Ji Zai from the Ghost King Sect was Chen Qiye from Qingyun Sect.

Judging from the situation, it was obvious that Ji Zai... or Chen Qiye had returned. What she wanted to ask was which side Chen Qiye was on.

"As Ji Zai, I am the deputy leader of the Ghost King Sect. As Chen Qiye, I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. But I am also the Heavenly Dao of this world. Heavenly Dao is ruthless, so I will not help either of us." Chen Qiye's voice echoed in the sea of ​​flowers, calm but with unquestionable determination.

A complicated look flashed across Jin Ping'er's eyes, and she chuckled softly, "That's quite straightforward. But the Heavenly Emperor's treasury is right before our eyes. Doesn't Master Ghost want to fight for the Ghost King Sect?"

"If I want to rob, you won't get anything. I only take what I need." Chen Qiye said with a smile.

As Chen Qiye finished speaking, the tree trunk under everyone's feet trembled violently again. Almost everyone saw that the tree trunk was shaking in the air. In the fog below, there was another earth-shaking roar. The invisible sound waves blew everyone's clothes, and in the roar, there was also a strange "hissing" sound, which was getting louder and louder, and closer and closer.

Jin Ping'er suddenly cried out, "Oh no! It's that beast! It's coming up!"

"Is it the beast that I beat to the point of collapse before?" Chen Qiye chuckled.

Suddenly, two huge balls of dark green flames started burning in the direction where the branches extended, and in the flames were two slender, upright pupils.

"Black Water Mystical Snake..." Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi said almost at the same time.

I saw the huge body of the Black Water Mystic Snake wrapped around the tree trunk, leaving a mess wherever it passed, and the vines and flowers withered and shattered one after another.

Lu Xueqi whispered to Zeng Shushu beside her, "What's going on?"

Zeng Shushu wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Just now, when we were down there, we suddenly encountered this beast. With our limited skills, we could only run away. Fortunately, it didn't pay any attention to us and left quickly. I didn't expect it to climb to the top of this tree."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although everyone present was highly skilled, any resistance seemed ridiculous in the face of this terrifying ancient demon beast. As the Black Water Mystic Serpent drew closer, Jin Ping'er suddenly asked, "Could this beast also be here for the contents of the Heavenly Emperor's treasury?"

Except for Chen Qiye, everyone had different expressions. They thought that it was probably true. They just didn't know what kind of amazing treasure was in the treasure house of heaven and earth that could attract a giant beast like the Black Water Mystic Snake.

Watching the Black Water Serpent moving forward, its huge body had already crushed the tree trunk beyond recognition, and it looked very excited.

Chen Qiye looked towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, only to see that the thick stone gate remained motionless. However, the sunlight that originally shone only on the sea of ​​flowers in front of the stone gate had now moved to the stone gate with the four large characters "Heavenly Emperor's Treasury" engraved on it.

Faxiang watched the giant snake approaching like a small mountain, sighed softly, and quickly turned around and said to the others, "The Black Water Mystic Snake is an ancient demonic beast, beyond human power. We are definitely no match for it. Let's not force ourselves and leave."

In fact, everyone knew this truth. Zhang Xiaofan, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu and others nodded. Even Jin Ping'er was ready to leave. Everyone in the field controlled their magic weapons and prepared to disperse.

"Haha, you are so scared of a beast that I almost beat to death that day? Ridiculous!" Chen Qiye snorted coldly and flashed into the air.

"Shui Ze..."

Chen Qiye let out a low roar, and a vast amount of water vapor instantly surged out from his body. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a vast and boundless swamp in front of him, instantly covering the entire Death Swamp. Waves surged in the swamp, and the waves slammed against the invisible embankment, making a deafening roar.

"Country!" Chen Qiye took advantage of the situation and exerted his strength. The power of the Supreme Demon Flower burst out without reservation. An indescribable aura suddenly emanated from Chen Qiye's body and instantly enveloped all directions.

In an instant, the sky and the earth lost their color, and an endless pressure seemed to roll in like a physical entity. In the water kingdom, a deep golden light shot up into the sky, so bright that everyone was forced to close their eyes to avoid the glare.

When the light faded a little, everyone looked up in astonishment, and saw a ten-thousand-foot-tall black phoenix emerging from the water, its body burning with purple-black demonic flames, and every feather flashing with a deep light, as if containing endless demonic energy. Its cry shook the heavens and the earth, and wherever the sound waves passed, ripples appeared in the space, as if it would shatter at any time.

"Demon Phoenix, tear the Black Water Mystic Snake apart for me!" Chen Qiye snorted coldly.

The Demonic Phoenix cried out loudly, flapping its wings fiercely. The gust of wind it unleashed cut through the Black Water Serpent like a sharp blade. The purple-black demonic flames burned fiercely, igniting the air wherever they passed, emitting a sizzling sound.

The Black Water Serpent felt an unprecedented threat, and its originally excited expression instantly turned into fear. The huge snake body twisted wildly on the tree trunk, trying to turn around and escape.

However, the Demonic Phoenix would not let it go so easily. The Demonic Phoenix flashed like a streak of black lightning, instantly appearing above the Black Water Mystic Serpent. Its claws extended, their sharp claws gleaming with a cold light as it fiercely clawed at the Black Water Mystic Serpent's head. The Black Water Mystic Serpent frantically twisted its body, attempting to evade the Demonic Phoenix's attack, but the Demonic Phoenix was far too fast. Its claws still left several deep wounds on the Black Water Mystic Serpent's head, and blood instantly gushed out, staining the snake's body red.

The Black Water Serpent roared in pain, lashing out with its massive tail. The Demon Phoenix swiftly soared, dodging the snake's attack. Then, it swooped down again, unleashing a blazing demonic flame from its mouth, enveloping the snake. The snake struggled in agony within the flames, its scales peeling off, emitting a burnt, stench.

As the Demon Phoenix and the Black Water Mystic Serpent engaged in a fierce battle, Chen Qiye slowly descended upon the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's treasury. His gaze, like a torch, fixed on the four large characters on the stone gate, his aura growing ever more powerful. Seeing this, Lu Xueqi followed, standing beside Chen Qiye, her eyes filled with trust and reliance.

"Husband, what is hidden in this treasure house?" Lu Xueqi asked softly.

Chen Qiye shook his head slightly.

At this moment, a large area of ​​orange and yellow color slowly appeared above the sky, and then a sound like a phoenix was heard.

Seeing this, Chen Qiye frowned slightly, and then put away the Water Kingdom. The Demonic Phoenix that covered the sky and the sun also disappeared in an instant. At the same time, Chen Qiye also took Lu Xueqi and turned into a stream of light and entered the treasure house of heaven and earth.

What a joke! Chen Qiye is the way of heaven, and no one can stop the way of heaven.

The Black Water Mystic Snake that was almost killed by the Demon Phoenix suddenly stopped moving, and raised its huge snake head to look at the cloud. The people in the distance frowned slightly. The one coming was a giant bird with orange and yellow feathers all over its body. Although it was not as huge as Chen Qiye's ten-thousand-foot Demon Phoenix, it was almost the same as the Black Water Mystic Snake.

"Could this be the legendary Nine Heavens Spirit Bird—the Yellow Bird?"
