Free Web NovelChapter 582: Chapter 580: Xiao Yudie: Defeating a Celestial Realm Tree Demon Over Drinks?! Wait... Bro, You Just Shook My Confidence!
Rumble!
The final few celestial thunders directly caused the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon’s entire tree body to start breaking apart.
A formidable Tree Demon, enough to rival a Celestial Realm Middle Stage, fell into Lu Ye’s hands twice in direct combat.
Carrying deep unwillingness, the broken tree body of the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon finally crashed down with a boom from mid-air.
Its falling location was not far from the two fallen Earth Realm cultivators, less than two hundred meters apart.
Swiftly approaching the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon, Fallen Leaves gazed upon its body and quickly found a crystal core filled with immense energy within.
"If this crystal core is used as the energy source for the array of the North Territory’s hidden sanctuary, it should last a long time."
This thing is just like a battery from a past life; the more energy inside, the longer it can support consumption.
After retrieving the crystal core, Fallen Leaves scattered Bone-Dissolving Powder, and the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon began to rapidly dissolve, turning into wood shavings.
Afterward, Lu Ye approached the two fallen Earth Realm cultivators and sighed.
"I understand why you didn’t trust me. After all, that’s how the cultivation realm is. At least I’ve avenged you."
With that, Lu Ye took off their storage rings, handling them rigorously to prevent them from being exploited by others.
...
On the other side, beneath the night sky.
Xiao Yudie and Qing Yu were waiting for Lu Ye’s return in his original spot.
After a while, the two keenly noticed that about a thousand miles away, the sound of thunder appeared again.
"Engaged in combat again?" Xiao Yudie asked curiously.
Qing Yu was rather worried, speaking in a low tone, "That Tree Demon is strong. Will the young master be injured?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yudie thought to herself, "Will you again insist on checking him upon his return?"
There are outsiders here, after all!
But indeed, the Tree Demon was strong. Xiao Yudie reckoned that if it weren’t for Chen Beixuan’s celestial thunder technique perfectly countering the demon, they wouldn’t have forced it into a messy retreat last time.
Just as the two were contemplating, a figure broke through the endless night, heading straight towards them.
The two were initially cautious, but as their spiritual sense swept over the familiar aura, they relaxed.
Lu Ye returned.
However, why did he return so fast?
Did he reach an agreement with the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon, deciding after probing that neither could harm the other, leading to retreat? No, retreat with the sound of thunder?
It’s been merely a few minutes!
Supposedly, completely slaying the demon...shouldn’t be that easy, right?
Just as these thoughts were cycling in Xiao Yudie’s mind, Lu Ye landed in their area.
"Why didn’t you start a fire? It’s pitch dark; I almost mistook you for speed bumps."
Glancing at the darkness, with some unused branches beside them, Lu Ye commented.
Speed bumps...what speed bumps?
Xiao Yudie curiously asked, "Did you and that Tree Demon agree on mutual non-interference?"
Qing Yu said nothing. Based on her understanding of the young master...unless he beats them till they lose two layers of skin or directly finishes them off, it won’t be his style.
Agreement? There’s no such thing.
Upon hearing Xiao Yudie’s words, Lu Ye smiled slightly.
In the next moment, a crystal core wrapped with strands of blood-colored energy, filled with violent and bloody energy, appeared in Lu Ye’s hand.
Xiao Yudie: "?!!"
She could tell at a glance that this aura belonged to the crystal core of the Celestial Realm Middle Stage Tree Demon!
That Tree Demon was so generous it even gave its crystal core away?!
"You killed it?!!" Xiao Yudie felt that this was the loudest she had ever spoken. freёwebnovel.com
That Tree Demon, Xiao Yudie knew, even if she used all her means, her best outcome would be using her trump cards to escape.
To defeat the Tree Demon in a few minutes by calmly warming wine before executing it...
Doesn’t that mean if she had indeed fought him to the end, she would have been done for long ago??
Turns out, he really held back previously...
Xiao Yudie felt an unspeakable defeat and disappointment surging within.
In the past, amidst the Boundless Sea, she had heard countless praises, and even Xiao Yudie herself was confident, believing that among the world’s heroes, she was one of the very top tier.
This trip to the Northern Territory felt more like hitting a decade’s worth of setbacks.
...
After dealing with the Bloodthirsty Tree Demon, the latter half of the night passed without any abnormal occurrences.
Lu Ye took some time to examine the storage rings of the two Earth Realm cultivators.
Their Source Crystals were not much, totaling over a hundred combined, which was considered quite a storage among Earth Realm cultivators.
The rest were silver, amounting to several hundred thousand taels. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The Secret Manuals were two Earth Tier ones. Lu Ye flipped through them briefly before putting them down; even Celestial Tier Secret Scriptures were not of great interest to him now.
If he wanted to significantly enhance his strength, it had to be through Divine Techniques.
"By the way, after this outing, I should ask Sang Xiyao how to gain an opportunity to comprehend the Divine Power Stele in the Celestial Palace..."
However, within their rings, there was one thing that piqued Lu Ye’s interest.
They were two pieces resembling parts of some Octagonal Array Plate, each being part of a ring.
Yet, they weren’t complete when assembled and seemed to be missing two pieces.
"What is this, a key to some place?" His experience was no longer that of a novice in the Red Cloud Sect. Lu Ye quickly concluded.
Thinking it over, he transferred the two Octagonal patterns to his own storage ring.
Within thousands of miles, a few cultivators, attracted by a strange scent, were still scrambling around for opportunities.
They didn’t know that if they found the true opportunity...they could be in trouble.
Eventually, these people left with a sense of regret, preparing to find other opportunities.
The next morning, the three set off again.
In the morning, while swiftly moving, Xiao Yudie took out the map again, comparing it to some minor details on the map.
"Oh, it should be not far ahead." Xiao Yudie exclaimed in slight delight, they were finally nearing the destination.
Moments later, the three arrived at a narrow stream; passing through here was the entrance to the valley Xiao Yudie spoke of.
"By the way, do you have the key for inside?" Lu Ye asked Xiao Yudie upon recalling something.
He remembered that the last two times visiting similar nurturing grounds, a key was needed to leave via the teleportation array left in the valley.
If lacking the key, traversing through the valley’s fog could be much more dangerous.
