Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 864 - 865 Tree Spirit

"This is the Divine Tree!"

It was also Chu Fengmian’s first time seeing the Divine Tree in person.

Even in countless legends and ancient books, he had heard countless times about the vastness of this Divine Tree.

Today, witnessing it, Chu Fengmian felt truly astonished.

Unparalleled in the world!

Chu Fengmian never imagined that a tree could grow so immensely large, a towering giant tree!

And yet, this Divine Tree was merely a branch of the once-mighty Jianmu!

Compared to the true Jianmu, it was but a mere drop in the ocean.

"How massive must the legendary Jianmu, which encompassed the entire Ancient Desolate Continent, have been?"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

In the records, the Jianmu was so vast, enveloping the entire Ancient Desolate Continent, that anywhere on the continent one could see its branches, and upon looking up, all one could see was the canopy of the Jianmu.

When the Jianmu shattered, the Ancient Desolate Continent lost its support, leading to its subsequent fragmentation.

Seeing the Divine Tree before him, Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but think about how magnificent and grand the once-mighty Jianmu must have been.

Just as Chu Fengmian was marveling at the grandeur of this Divine Tree, a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power appeared in front of him.

In the chaotic aura ahead, out of the void, a surge of spiritual power suddenly coagulated, transforming directly into a figure.

The moment this figure materialized, it immediately launched an attack towards Chu Fengmian.

The formation of this figure was almost silent and unnoticed. If it weren’t for Chu Fengmian’s Divine Veins, which allowed him to keenly sense the changes in the surrounding spiritual power, he wouldn’t have noticed this anomaly.

Otherwise, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t have noticed the coagulation of this figure at all.

"Is this the Tree Spirit?"

Chu Fengmian had heard before that in this Divine Tree Mystical Realm, the presence of Tree Spirits was extremely mysterious, forming without a sound and launching sudden attacks on martial artists.

In this Divine Tree Mystical Realm, the chaotic aura alone was enough to hinder a martial artist’s Spiritual Sense, making the formation of these Tree Spirits almost undetectable.

The Tree Spirit in front of him only had the power roughly equivalent to the fourth or fifth levels of the Divine Power realm. However, if such a presence suddenly appeared, even an ordinary Life and Death realm martial artist would find it difficult to respond in time.

They could be suddenly ambushed and at least suffer severe injuries.

Furthermore, among Tree Spirits, it is said there are those at the Life and Death realm, and even ancestors exceeding the Life and Death realm. If such a Tree Spirit were to form silently and launch a surprise attack, even a typical ancestor could likely fall in this Divine Tree Mystical Realm.

No wonder the death rate in the Divine Tree Mystical Realm is so high, with a staggering ninety percent of martial artists entering it meeting their end.

These Tree Spirits are indeed extremely formidable.

"Let me see what this Tree Spirit truly is."

With a thought from Chu Fengmian, the palm of spiritual power from the Tree Spirit dissipated before him. With a wave of his hand, this Tree Spirit was directly held in Chu Fengmian’s palm.

"Such refined spiritual power! The spiritual power of this Tree Spirit is purer than countless Spirit Pills!"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but exclaim as he sensed the refined spiritual power of the Tree Spirit.

This Tree Spirit was practically a pure collection of spiritual power, an existence that could probably only be born within the Divine Tree.

With a thought, Chu Fengmian absorbed all the spiritual power of the Tree Spirit, feeling that its power differed from ordinary spiritual power.

Because it contained a portion of the Divine Tree’s power, once absorbed, it could not only increase a martial artist’s strength but also fortify their physique.

Though for Chu Fengmian, the power of a single Tree Spirit was inconsequential, if he devoured many Tree Spirits, his body could become more resilient.

"Go."

Chu Fengmian’s body moved, flying once more in the direction of the Divine Tree.

The appearance of the Tree Spirit served as a reminder to Chu Fengmian that the dangers of the Divine Tree Mystical Realm were not less than those of the Nine Domains’ deadly lands.

Exploring alone, Chu Fengmian had to be extremely cautious.

If he encountered Tree Spirits with the power of an ancestor that he didn’t detect and was ambushed, even Chu Fengmian could be gravely injured or even fall.

"In this Divine Tree Mystical Realm, it seems that no matter one’s strength, danger lurks, requiring utmost caution."

Chu Fengmian focused all his attention on his Divine Veins.

The Divine Veins could detect changes in surrounding spiritual power, and while these Tree Spirits formed with subtle spiritual fluctuations, they couldn’t escape the sensation of the Divine Veins.

Having the assistance of the Divine Veins, Chu Fengmian found navigating the Divine Tree Mystical Realm somewhat easier than ordinary martial artists, though he still couldn’t let his guard down.

As he flew, Chu Fengmian saw many corpses of martial artists.

Their Space Rings remained intact, but their life essence had been entirely drained.

It’s obvious, without saying, that the Tree Spirits were responsible for this.

To Tree Spirits, a martial artist’s life essence was their richest nourishment, which is why they formed to attack martial artists.

Had the martial artists counterattacked, the Space Rings wouldn’t have been left behind.

Chu Fengmian slowly descended, coming to the side of the martial artist’s body. With a wave of his hand, he took the Space Ring into his palm.

But just as Chu Fengmian held the Space Ring, numerous fluctuations of spiritual power suddenly emerged around him.

As many as five or six Tree Spirits revealed themselves beside Chu Fengmian, launching attacks against him.

The five or six Tree Spirits seemed to have been hiding around the martial artist’s corpse all along, waiting for prey.

The Space Ring was the bait.

And Chu Fengmian was their prey.

"Oh?"

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise appeared in Chu Fengmian’s eyes, as he hadn’t expected these Tree Spirits to already understand how to set traps.

Initially, Chu Fengmian thought these Tree Spirits were mindless beings, but now he realized they had learned to set traps.

The five or six Tree Spirits, each with a strength roughly equivalent to the first level of the Life and Death realm, grew stronger the closer they were to the Divine Tree.

If they attacked together, even a peak Life and Death realm martial artist would find it extremely troublesome.

As Chu Fengmian picked up the Space Ring, these five or six Tree Spirits immediately attacked, intending to ambush Chu Fengmian at his most relaxed moment.

Their method of attack was a pure spiritual power assault, aiming to crush a martial artist with overwhelming spiritual power, causing instant death by shock.
