Chapter 612: The Forest of Medicinal Herbs The Dragon and Phoenix's Sensation
The ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan made his move against mere Heavenly Demon Puppets, he naturally stood unmatched.
After all, he was a genuine Dou Sheng, an existence that stood above all others. However, despite his dominance, he soon found himself helpless against an unforeseen issue.
These Heavenly Demon Puppets were controlled by an unfathomably strong soul force far beyond his ability to manipulate.
Upon freezing all the puppets in place, the old ancestor attempted to seize control of them by injecting his soul force, aiming to subjugate them in an instant and force the stone gate open.
But…
He made a grave mistake.
The very moment his soul force entered the puppets
"Ssshhhkk!"
An overwhelming backlash surged forth, sending a cold sweat down his forehead.
Before he could react
"Boom!"
The powerful soul forces within the puppets retaliated violently, shattering his own spiritual energy in an instant.
And worse
They even attempted to seize control of his mind!
At that moment, the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan made a swift and desperate decision
He forcefully severed his connection to the external soul force!
"Pfft !"
A mouthful of blood spurted from his lips, his body staggering as he collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Damn it… That bastard planned this all along!"
"Without at least three Dou Shengs working together, we have no hope of breaking through this trap!"
The old man sat cross legged, his complexion pale as a sheet, his expression filled with unwillingness.
Upon hearing his words, everyone present felt a surge of frustration.
This wasn't a ruin open to the fated
This was an elaborate trap set by Wu Tian to screen out the weak!
"Sigh…"
As everyone lamented their misfortune, a figure from the Heavenly Underworld Sect slowly stepped forward…
Inside the Ruins The Forest of Medicinal Herbs
While those outside struggled against the sealed stone gate, Wu Tian and his group had already entered
And were immediately greeted by a vast, ancient forest composed entirely of rare medicinal herbs!
"Uh… Damn it, compared to this place, my 'Ten Thousand Herb Mountain' was basically worthless!"
At the rear of the group, Xiong Zhan stood dumbfounded, his jaw dropping at the sight of endless priceless herbs growing in abundance.
Yet, standing at the forefront, Wu Tian barely spared the herbs a glance.
"These are nothing but trash."
To Wu Tian, these so called 'precious' herbs were completely beneath his notice.
He wasn't here for these insignificant plants
He was here for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!
"Woooooah! This place is amazing!"
Unlike Wu Tian, Zi Yan's reaction was completely opposite her bright purple eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was already wiping away drool.
To her, this place was a paradise!
So many high grade medicinal herbs
This was an irresistible feast!
Before anyone could stop her
"Shwoop!"
Zi Yan vanished, darting into a dense patch of spiritual lingzhi mushrooms, stuffing her mouth full like a greedy little squirrel.
This wasn't even cultivation
This was pure gluttony.
These herbs might not provide much growth to her already terrifying physique, but
Why not enjoy some snacks while she was here?
Watching Zi Yan's reckless feasting, the rest of the women could only shake their heads and smile helplessly.
"Let's go. These 'trash herbs' aren't what you need right now. If you like them so much, feel free to stay behind."
Wu Tian's calm voice reached Zi Yan's ears.
The little dragon girl instantly froze mid bite, her cheeks still stuffed with herbs.
She immediately spat them out.
She wasn't dumb
They were here for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!
The fruit that would help her fully mature!
That was her ultimate goal
Compared to that, these herbs were completely meaningless!
"Hehe, Wu Tian gege, I was just tasting them! I only like eating the best stuff!"
Zi Yan grinned, bouncing back toward Wu Tian's side, clinging to his arm as if nothing had happened.
Watching her shameless transformation, Wu Tian smirked.
Her current form cute, tiny, and energetic would soon disappear once she consumed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
And when she fully matured…
Well, let's just say
A certain part of Wu Tian's soul shuddered with anticipation.
Duang~ Duang~
Sigh…
With her innocence now, he could still restrain himself.
But when she grew up…
Would he really be able to hold back?
The ancient forest was vast, filled with a lingering medicinal fragrance, while mist shrouded the towering trees.
Occasionally, small spirit beasts would dart through the foliage, their glowing eyes peeking out curiously.
This place had existed for countless years, gradually forming its own ecosystem a realm within a realm.
Though weaker beasts roamed freely, there were undoubtedly far stronger creatures lurking deeper within.
For ordinary explorers, this ruin was both an opportunity and a deadly challenge.
But for Wu Tian's group?
It was no different from a leisurely stroll through a peaceful garden.
No beast dared to attack them.
The reason?
Wu Tian's unmatched strength
Zi Yan's terrifying bloodline suppression
Even top tier magical beasts including those of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and Blue Luan Clans bowed before Zi Yan's dragon might.
Even Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan, both proud and powerful, would respectfully address Zi Yan as "Elder Sister".
"Look at her go! She's already running off ahead!"
Wu Tian chuckled, watching Zi Yan eagerly sprint toward the heart of the ruins.
Though they had already traveled for ten full minutes, there was still no end in sight.
Along the way, they encountered numerous savage beasts, some appearing ferocious beyond imagination.
Yet
The moment they sensed Zi Yan's aura, every single one would instantly bow in submission, trembling in fear.
"Shhhhckkk!"
A gust of wind parted the dense foliage, revealing a small lake nestled deep within the forest.
At the center of this lake stood a tiny island
And on that island grew an ancient, eerie looking tree.
"Huh? That's a Soul Infant Demon Tree…?"
"Its Soul Infant Fruits can restore soul power and heal wounds… though valuable, this isn't what we came for."
Wu Tian barely spared the rare fruit a glance, dismissing it without hesitation.
"Heh. Look at that. This guy doesn't even care about Soul Infant Fruits."
Xiong Zhan's face twitched.
Each Soul Infant Fruit was as valuable as a peak tier seventh grade pill.
And here Wu Tian was, calling them "nothing special."
But suddenly
Xiong Zhan noticed something strange.
Zi Yan had stopped moving.
Her bright purple eyes were locked on the deepest part of the forest, filled with a dazed, almost trance like expression.
And
To everyone's surprise
Feng Qing'er had the exact same look on her face!
"Uh… Wait a minute…"
Wu Tian's eyes narrowed.
They were here for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
Could it be…
That it was calling out to them?!
