Boom!

Countless explosions shook the ground, flames shot out, chaos reigned, and many martial artists watched from afar, not daring to come closer.

Poof!

Gray evil wind swept through, cold air sprayed out, and from the midst of the chaos, a black spear emerged, majestic and imposing, inscribed with shimmering runes. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Boom!

"The Godslaying Spear!"

The black spear, with a force capable of destroying the world, hurtled toward the Undying Tree. The space around it collapsed and was destroyed, leaving the Undying Tree nowhere to escape.

Rumble!

With one strike, the entire body of the Undying Tree collapsed instantly. There was no blood, no spiritual power spilling out, only endless flames devouring the land madly.

As the Undying Tree fell, an endless stream of Undying Origin leaked out into the world. The colossal shadow of the Evil Wind Emperor became a terrifying black hole, manically devouring the Undying Origin. At the same time, the life force within it grew stronger and stronger, the sound of its heartbeat like roaring thunder in everyone's ears.

"This is bad, the Evil Wind Emperor is about to resurrect!!"

Xiao Yuan's face changed instantly. The Undying Tree had fallen, and if the Evil Wind Emperor absorbed all the Undying Origin, he would surely be able to rebuild his body and soul completely.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

The other members of the Xiao Family began to panic. Once the Evil Wind Emperor truly resurrected, there would be no place for the Xiao Family in Tongzhou. Given the grudge between their family and the Lin Family, it would be merciful if the Lin Family didn't annihilate them.

Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered. Slowly, the panic in his eyes faded, and he muttered.

"The Evil Wind Emperor is still refining the Undying Origin. As long as we kill him before he fully awakens, it shouldn't be a problem."

Just as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he felt the air solidify slightly. The members of the Xiao Family couldn't look him in the eye.

"Young Master, based on the strength the Evil Wind Emperor showed just now, we might not even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth..."

Someone said with a bitter smile. Indeed, even though the Evil Wind Emperor wasn't at his peak strength during the battle with the Undying Tree, he could still crush some top-tier warriors. In his presence, they were insignificant as dust.

"Don't worry, the Evil Wind Emperor can't move while refining the Undying Origin."

Xiao Yuan said slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into a beam of light rushing toward the colossal shadow of the Evil Wind Emperor. The other members of the Xiao Family followed quickly, not daring to linger.

Boom!

In the sky, as soon as the Undying Origin was fully absorbed, the colossal shadow of the Evil Wind Emperor exploded, turning into countless stars. The wind swept through, transforming into a silver-white storm wave.

"Quickly, head to where the Undying Tree fell!"

The remnant soul of the Ancient Sword Emperor suddenly urged Chu Ming.

Swish!

Chu Ming released the Flying Shuttle, not having time to question the Ancient Sword Emperor. He leapt onto the Flying Shuttle and flew toward where the Undying Tree had fallen.

Boom!

Soon after Chu Ming set off, many other martial artists watching flew toward the fallen Undying Tree. The Undying Tree was a Nine Heavens Divine Object. Now that it had been severely injured by the Evil Wind Emperor, such a perfect opportunity lay before them, and they wouldn't let it pass.

Among them were three major leaders—Nangong Yueling, Emperor Wuji, and Zhang Xingyun—along with many other strong warriors not inferior to them.

Swish!

In the sky, Chu Ming's gaze swept over the ground. He saw charred, uneven blackened land everywhere. The power of the Undying Tree and the Evil Wind Emperor was terrifying.

The scenery flew by, and not far away, a blood-red altar appeared, exuding a terrifying aura. Chu Ming squinted and saw a blood-colored coffin resting on the altar. The intense heartbeat sound was coming from it.

"Is that the Evil Wind Emperor's body?"

Chu Ming's heart trembled. Through the blurry blood-colored coffin, he saw a middle-aged man in a golden-edged black robe. The man's complexion was like jade, eyes closed, with gray swirls between his brows, radiating immense life force.

Without time to examine the Evil Wind Emperor's body, Chu Ming's soul power swept out like a tide, frantically searching for the Undying Tree. Though he was the first martial artist to arrive due to the Flying Shuttle, others would be there soon.

In a few breaths, Chu Ming scanned the area but still couldn't find the Undying Tree.

"Could it not be here?"

Chu Ming thought to himself.

In the sky, several rainbows streaked across, with powerful auras rapidly approaching, the wind howling.

Leading them was Emperor Wuji, the first of the six giants. His face was stern, and his white robe fluttered.

"It's you?"

Seeing only Chu Ming around, Emperor Wuji noticed him instantly. Although he had a significant grudge with Chu Ming, finding the Undying Tree was more urgent, so he tolerated it for now.

Swish swish swish!

More and more martial artists gathered around the blood-colored altar, but none found a trace of the Undying Tree.

"You were the first here, did you see the Undying Tree?"

Emperor Wuji walked out from the crowd, staring at Chu Ming, dominating with his question. As he spoke, everyone's attention focused on Chu Ming, many with ill intentions.

Chu Ming frowned. If he answered poorly, he could become the common enemy.

"No."

Chu Ming responded calmly, his soul power scanning the hundreds of martial artists gathered, including seven or eight of the six giant levels.

"I don't believe you, unless you hand over your Storage Ring!"

A glint flashed in Emperor Wuji's eyes as he spoke softly. He was still holding a grudge over the Dragon Bone.

"Heh, if you want my Storage Ring, let's see if you have what it takes!"

Chu Ming's expression remained calm. Knowing Emperor Wuji's thoughts, he smiled faintly, the Blood Dome Sword appearing in his hand, leaving numerous cracks on the ground.

Hiss hiss!

As soon as Chu Ming spoke, he sensed the martial artists' attitudes towards him changed. After all, Emperor Wuji was the strongest of the six giants, revered in the Central Divine Domain. Several had challenged him, but few survived. Even other giants like Zhang Xingyun dared not speak such words.

"You've completely angered me!"

Emperor Wuji said slowly, his Silver Saber turned into a cross-slash, leaving a hundred-meter-long knife mark on the ground.
