Chapter 144: Descent of the Azure Emperor

The World Tree, the natal supreme treasure of the Demon God of Life, was no ordinary entity. The three marvelous functions mentioned by the Ancestral Witch Jumang were merely its most primary applications. As one of the six known chaotic spiritual roots of the Primordial World, the World Tree undoubtedly possessed other extraordinary and profound capabilities, though they appeared trivial in comparison to its three main functions.

Upon acquiring the chaotic spiritual root, the World Tree, all twelve Ancestral Witches were overwhelmed with great joy.

Immediately after, the twelve Ancestral Witches...

The moment the lotus heart was extracted, the petals began to close on their own, and the red color along the veins started to recede simultaneously. Before long, it reverted to a flower bud, and it was impossible to tell when it would bloom again.

"Shenwu, that fat guy, you still remember him?" The fat man Du Yuesheng referred to was none other than the person whose back of the head had been blown open by Wang Yaqiao's gunshot.

The continuous attacks possessed astonishing lethality, and their speed shocked all the players present. Chen Hao was also dumbfounded. Launching a malicious attack on other players inside the city? Wasn't that courting death? Yet, why was she able to do it?

Recalling that her inbox seemed to have remained unopened for a very long time, Su Momo casually opened her email.

After all, Guliang Ji was also exceptionally astute and naturally suspicious. To shake him off, the Snow Rakshasa had paid a heavy price.

"Ugh!" The man began to vomit violently the moment he regained consciousness, as a considerable amount of liquid still remained lingering in his oral cavity.

"Although your method is good, I somehow feel something is off," Yan Shenwu honestly voiced his own thoughts.

"Consider it going out for a stroll. Didn't you just eat a bit too much?" Shizichen said with a smile as he looked at Su Momo, who kept hiccuping.

When encountering such exquisite trinkets, the joy in one's heart probably outweighed the doubt, right? Perhaps wanting to take it for oneself—anyway, she hadn't stolen the item.

"Who?" Ye Chen did not understand what Chen Yueyue was talking about; he only vaguely felt that the matter was not simple. The sudden appearance of these girls meant their strength was definitely not inferior to Chen Yueyue's.

However, Ding Yu now wielded two destined sacred artifacts, making him stronger than both the Thunder Immortal King and the Lord of Mirror Double City. Yet, despite sitting upon a mountain of treasures, he was unable to translate the advantage of the destined sacred artifacts into an advantage in actual combat strength.

Lying on the bed, neither of them spoke for a long time. They simply clung to each other, feeling each other's warmth. Xiao Lang slowly drifted off to sleep; he was simply too exhausted.

"It's nothing. If we weren't about to close, it would be fine for you to sit here a bit longer." The young man was quite polite.

Wu Lei had no idea what kind of tricks the steward before him intended to play, but with his own thousand cavalrymen stationed right here, what kind of tricks could possibly be pulled off? He merely chuckled and let him be, instructing Dian Yong to accompany him just in case. Even if the steward harbored any ill intentions, with Dian Yong present, success would be impossible.

"No, I want a hug too. You scared me to death, Wu Ming." Mo Qian batted Wu Ming's hand away and threw her arms tightly around him. Feeling her rapid heartbeat, Wu Ming could not help but sigh inwardly.

The earth admired a deep blue patch in the sky, longing to receive a trace of pale blue twilight from the firmament. Yet, the pale blue of the sky was so scarce that, aside from inspiring mysterious illusions in the earth, it could offer nothing else.

Yinxiu's face flushed pink as her eyes shifted from an empty spot to Guo'er's face, then locked gazes with Sanguo before nodding in acknowledgment.

"Shenyue, sit down." Although Yin Wushuang was also overjoyed in his heart, he was, after all, the master of Heavenly King City and still needed to put on a proper display of hospitality.

"Right on! This way, since we are now a family, there is nothing to worry about." The Lord of Mirror Double City laughed heartily, pouring himself a cup of clear tea and taking a sip.

Ideals are beautiful, and hypotheses are wonderful, but reality is cruel—so cruel that it instills fear and trembling.

Sure enough, not even a hundred breaths later, starting with the very first malignant spirit that retreated and fled, a complete chain reaction was triggered. Seeing this, the remaining malignant spirits abandoned their opponents without exception and collectively fled at high speed toward the depths of the Boundary Sea and their main camp.
