The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 316: Dense forest in another world, strange fruit

Youyue gently took a bite of the exotic fruit in her hand. The juicy flesh melted in her mouth, and an unprecedented power instantly surged into her body. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face.

“Yun Che, the power of this fruit… is too astonishing!” You Yue’s voice trembled slightly, clearly shocked by this sudden surge of power.

Yun Che also took a bite of the fruit and felt a warm current flowing from his mouth, quickly spreading throughout his body. His muscles bulged slightly under the surge of power, as if every inch of his skin contained infinite strength.

“It really is a good thing!” Yun Che shouted excitedly, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, like a wild horse about to break free, eager to gallop across the battlefield.

The two exchanged glances, and without needing to say anything, they could both read the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes. They knew that with the blessing of this power, their battle against the evil forces would be more likely to succeed.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly emanated from the depths of the forest, shattering the surrounding tranquility. Yun Che and You Yue's expressions instantly grew serious. They gripped their weapons tightly and glanced around warily.

“It seems like some ignorant fellow has come to interrupt our good fortune.” Yun Che snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in his tone.

Youyue nodded slightly, her body moving lightly, like a cheetah ready to hunt, ready to deal with any enemy that might appear at any time.

As the roar got closer, a huge beast rushed out from the depths of the dense forest. Its eyes were as red as fire, its fangs were exposed, and it exuded a chilling chill.

“Hmph, it’s nothing more than a wild beast.” Yun Che sneered. He moved and appeared in front of the beast like a ghost. He punched out with such powerful force that the beast was instantly sent flying.

The beast rolled several times in the air before falling heavily to the ground, letting out a shrill scream. However, it did not give up, but struggled to its feet and pounced on Yun Che again.

“Really tenacious.” Yun Che shook his head. He moved once more, easily dodging the beast’s attack. At the same time, he kicked the beast in the abdomen, sending it flying.

You Yue watched Yun Che handle the beast's attacks with ease, secretly admiring him. She knew Yun Che's strength had improved, which made her even more confident in the upcoming battle.

As Yun Che battled the beast, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed from the depths of the forest. Yun Che and You Yue turned their heads simultaneously, only to see a group of black-robed members of the evil forces rapidly approaching them.

"It seems that these guys are coming for us." Youyue said coldly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Yun Che nodded, retracting his attack on the beast and turning to face the black-robed men. His eyes were filled with a desire to fight, like a tiger about to erupt.

“Hmph, you’ve come just in time. It’s a great opportunity for us to test the power of this fruit!” Yun Che shouted loudly, and rushed towards the black-robed man like an arrow.

Youyue followed closely behind, her figure moving through the woods like a light swallow, quickly approaching the enemy.

Seeing Yun Che and You Yue rushing towards them, the black-robed people drew their weapons and prepared to fight. However, they soon discovered that Yun Che and You Yue's strength was no longer what it used to be.

Yun Che punched out with such force that a black-robed man was instantly sent flying. His punches were so powerful that each one seemed to carry the sound of wind and thunder, making the black-robed man tremble in fear.

Youyue wielded a longsword, its light flashing like lightning, each strike precisely targeting the black-robed man's vital points. Her swordsmanship was sharp and graceful, like a dance, yet concealed a deadly murderous intent.

The black-robed men were defeated step by step under the fierce attack of Yun Che and You Yue. Their faces showed expressions of fear, as if they had seen the coming of the god of death.

However, just as Yun Che and You Yue were about to achieve victory, a tall man suddenly stepped out from among the black-robed men. He held a massive battle axe in his hand, his eyes revealing a cold murderous intent.

“Humph, you think you can defeat us?” The man snorted coldly. He swung his battle axe, and instantly a huge axe shadow chopped off, slashing towards Yun Che and You Yue.

Seeing this, Yun Che and You Yue dodged to the side. The axe shadow grazed their bodies, severing several branches with a crackling sound.

“This guy’s strength is not simple.” Yun Che said in a deep voice, his eyes becoming more solemn.

Youyue nodded, she gripped the sword tightly, ready to meet the man's next wave of attack.

The man swung his battle axe again, this time aiming at Yun Che. The axe shadow roared out like a giant dragon, carrying with it the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Yun Che moved his body, narrowly avoiding the axe shadow's attack. However, just as he steadied himself, he felt a powerful force attacking from behind.

Seeing this, Youyue immediately swung her sword at the force. The sword light and the force collided, making a deafening sound. However, the force was too strong, and Youyue was actually shocked and retreated repeatedly.

"Hmph, is that all you can do?" the man laughed sarcastically, with a smug look on his face.

Yun Che and You Yue exchanged a glance. They knew that they had to join forces to defeat this man.

“Youyue, let’s attack together!” Yun Che shouted loudly, and he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the man like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Youyue followed closely behind, her long sword drawing a brilliant sword light in the air, piercing the man's vitals.

Seeing this, the man swung his battle axe to meet Yun Che and You Yue's attack. The axe shadow collided with the fist wind and sword light, bursting into a dazzling light.

The three of them fought back and forth, the battle was so fierce that it was difficult to determine the winner. The surrounding trees fell one after another in their battle, and the dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun.

Yun Che and You Yue fought more and more bravely, relying on the power of the fruit, and gradually gained the upper hand. However, the man was no ordinary person either. With his rich combat experience and powerful strength, he still fought Yun Che and You Yue to a draw.

At this moment, Yun Che suddenly discovered a flaw in the man. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his figure appeared behind the man like a ghost, punching him in the back.

The man sensed Yun Che's attack and quickly turned around, swinging his axe to block it. However, Yun Che's punch was too fast, and before he could fully turn around, he was hit by Yun Che's punch on the shoulder.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the man flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

Yun Che and You Yue seized the opportunity to catch up and launched a fierce attack on the man. In the end, under the combined efforts of Yun Che and You Yue, the man was finally defeated and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

“Hmph, you dare to come and die with such little ability.” Yun Che snorted coldly. He walked to the man and stepped on his chest.

The man's face showed pain. He struggled and said, "You...you won't succeed...our leader...will definitely avenge us..."

Yun Che smiled faintly. He leaned over, looked at the man, and said, "Then let him come. We'll be waiting for him anytime."

After saying this, Yun Che kicked the man in the abdomen, sending him flying. He turned and looked at Youyue. The two of them smiled at each other, as if everything was self-explanatory.

After the battle, Yun Che and You Yue continued to go deeper into the forest. They knew that this forest was hiding countless secrets and treasures, and only by constantly exploring could they continuously improve their strength.

The two walked along a stream, the water was clear and flowing happily. They talked as they walked, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.

"Yun Che, do you think we can find any treasures this time?" You Yue suddenly asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Yun Che thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps. This forest is so mysterious, it must be hiding a lot of good things. However, the most important thing is to improve our strength. With this power, we will have a better chance of winning the battle against the evil forces."

Youyue nodded, deeply agreeing. She knew that strength was the foundation of everything. Only by constantly improving her own strength could she better protect the world and those around her.

The two continued on their journey, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally reached an open area. In the center of the open area grew a huge ancient tree, its trunk incredibly thick and its branches and leaves lush, blocking out the sun.

“This ancient tree… seems somewhat unusual.” Yun Che stared at the ancient tree, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Youyue also noticed the unusualness of the ancient tree. She approached the tree and carefully observed the lines on its trunk. Those lines were like ancient totems, containing mysterious power.

“Yun Che, look at these lines… they look like some kind of ancient runes.” You Yue pointed at the lines on the tree trunk and said.

Yun Che nodded. He reached out and gently touched the lines. A warm energy flowed into his body from the lines, making him feel comfortable.

“It seems that this ancient tree is truly unusual. We must be careful.” Yun Che said in a deep voice, his eyes becoming more alert.

At this moment, the ancient tree suddenly emitted a low roar. Immediately afterwards, the lines on its trunk began to flash with a dazzling light, as if some mysterious power was about to awaken.

Yun Che and You Yue exchanged a glance, knowing that this moment had finally arrived. They gripped their weapons tightly, ready to face the impending challenge.

The light grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. The pillar of light contained powerful energy fluctuations that made the surrounding air tremble.

At this moment, a clear cry suddenly emanated from the light column. Immediately afterwards, a gigantic golden phoenix flew out from the light column and circled in the air.

“This is… a phoenix?” Yun Che shouted in surprise, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.

Youyue also showed a look of shock. She stared at the phoenix in the sky, as if she saw the legendary mythical beast.

The phoenix circled in the air for a few times before finally landing on a branch of the ancient tree. It lowered its head to look at Yun Che and You Yue, its eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"Welcome to the holy land of the dense forest in another world." The phoenix spoke, its voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and You Yue bowed and saluted to show their respect for the Phoenix.
