C83 Calculation
The entire blood forest was quiet, the two Level 7 demon beasts were lifted high up in the air, their bodies pierced through by the scarlet branches. This change was unexpected, but it was also within his expectations. After all, the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree was an existence that wanted to advance to the eighth level, how could it be so easily destroyed?
The appearance of the Dao-fruit was just a show of weakness. It was a trap.
Of course, this was enough to prove that it was severely injured. Otherwise, there was no need for it to show its weakness. In that moment, the surging Earth Terminus Qi rushed into the bodies of the two level seven demon beasts, causing them to be unable to escape, and they used all their strength to resist the invasion of the Earth Terminus Qi. But even so, the two red branches, at this moment, were still continuously absorbing the blood energy and the soul from the two level seven demon beasts.
The strength of Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree was evident.
In another place, a figure was running fast through the forest. Furthermore, the entire ball was wrapped by the tree branches. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it was a ball formed from a branch.
Xiao Zhi was shocked. He naturally knew that it was the small tree sapling dao diagram that was in the act, and it was actually rushing towards the location of the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree. When he thought of the dangers, Xiao Zhi was shocked and panicked.
He was really curious about the little sapling dao diagram. It was as if the dao diagram had its own intelligence, just like the Skeleton Dao Diagram. White Tiger dao diagram and Giant Python dao diagrams were far from being comparable to the two.
Very quickly, Xiao Zhi's mood calmed down. Every time there was the movement of the small tree sapling dao diagram, it would provide great help to Xiao Zhi and there would never be any problems. Gradually, the Xiao Zhi began to trust the little sapling dao diagram. Perhaps this kind of thing to others was simply a funny thing, believing in the dao diagram? This was the biggest joke in the world.
Originally, the distance between the two sides was only about ten kilometers. It did not take long for Xiao Zhi to sense the waves of baleful qi in front of him. It was obvious that they were about to enter the range of the Earth Fiend, which was the attacking range of the 'Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree'.
Through the gaps between the leaves, one could see that a huge tree was in ruins. However, the two scarlet branches lifted up the two powerful Demonic Beasts as blood continuously flowed down from the branches.
That scene was too terrifying. After all, they were two rank 7 Monstrous Beasts. Any one of them could make people panic and slaughter a large area at will.
"Roar!"
The two rank 7 beasts were unwilling to perish just like that. They all roared as berserk Dao energy surged within their bodies, releasing violent attacks. The Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree vibrated continuously from the vibrations, causing it to emit a series of light 'ka ka' sounds. However, its movements were getting sharper and sharper. The two branches that pierced through the two great demon beasts emitted a scarlet light, which accelerated the absorption of their blood energy and souls.
Below, the figure of the Xiao Zhi, who was wrapped in a branch, appeared below a towering tree. The grey energy around him spiraled continuously, and he could clearly feel the Earth Terminus Qi, which made him uneasy. If not for the dao diagram's power protecting him, the Xiao Zhi would have suspected that he could have stayed on the Earth Terminus Qi for a long time without dying.
The one in front of him was the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree.
It was extremely thick. Even ten adults wouldn't be able to hug it. The exposed roots were as vigorous as the back of a land dragon. Under the tree, there was a small puddle of water that was dyed blood-red due to the fluid that had previously flowed out of the tree stem. It looked like fresh blood, giving off a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
However, the energy it contained was astonishing. If it could be refined and absorbed, it would be a great tonic. One had to know that plant type monsters' bodies were all treasures, comparable to heaven and earth treasures. It was like a fourth or fifth level Blood Demon Tree. The fruit it bore could be said to be a treasure.
This Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree had existed for who knows how many years, and could even go from the seventh level to the eighth level. Many of the things he had on him were treasures that were hard to come by in a hundred years, including the blood that flowed out of his body.
Xiao Zhi's eyes darkened, he regained his normal color, the bottom of his heart reflected a shadow, for a skeleton to hide in the darkness of the void. The fact that the figure of a Skeleton Dao Diagram could be seen at the bottom of his heart naturally meant that the dao diagram, that he was unable to control, had once again appeared on its own.
He was free to come and go, and was completely out of the Xiao Zhi's control.
This made Xiao Zhi secretly grit his teeth, it was too hateful, did he think of himself as an inn? Coming and leaving as he pleased? However, he could only forcefully suppress this thought as he had no other choice.
As long as it didn't hurt him, he would take care of the rest.
Xiao Zhi could only console himself in this manner, as if he had obtained a sliver of gratification.
However, although the Skeleton Dao Diagram appeared, it did not make any other movements. A pair of pitch-black eyes that were as deep as the abyss stared upwards indifferently, as if they were pondering over a problem. Of course, this form appearing on a skeleton was very unusual.
The resistance from above was getting more and more intense. unicornuate pangolin s and Mink bear s were both powerful demonic beasts, but if one side was king, how could they not have any means?
The Mink bear's body rapidly increased in size, becoming like a small mountain. Both of its palms continuously struck out, and without any hesitation, it became as heavy as a mountain.
The unicornuate pangolin's entire body turned blood-red, and on its hard skin and spine formed a red line. Following that, it contained a destructive force that condensed towards the horn, and once again shot out.
This was the ultimate counterattack of the two. It used all of its strength, and was also the last resort of the two.
The Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree began to tremble again, and its branches continued to fall. The entire crown of the tree was shattered, and the tree stem began to split open from the middle.
"Swoosh!"
Inside the tree stem that was split open, blood mist shrouded the air and two branches that were like tentacles once again pierced through the two demon beasts. Within the blood mist, a figure vaguely appeared.
"That's …"
Xiao Zhi suddenly widened his eyes. Through the small tree sapling's power, he could see the figure of the person in the blood mist. It was a very slender and devilish young man. His expression was gloomy and his eyes were bloodshot. The two branches that flew out were his hands.
Only the upper half of this devilish young man could be considered human. The lower half of his body and his hands were still shaped like tree branches.
A demonic beast of the eighth rank could transform into a human!
Xiao Zhi subconsciously thought about this point. If it were not for the two Goblin Beasts snatching the Dao Fruit, the matter of the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree advancing to the eighth level of the Spirit Demon beast would have been a reality.
The devilish young man's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, violent rage; they were ice-cold and ruthless.
"You actually reached this step!" When the unicornuate pangolin said the first sentence, her voice was extremely hoarse.
"You've hidden yourself deep enough, you're actually borrowing our strength to help you remove the monster's shackles and turn into a true human!" The Mink bear roared, its voice was like a bell.
"It's worth it for all of you to die."
The young man spoke coldly, with no trace of emotion in his voice. It was as if everything had been planned by him.
"Good, good move!" The unicornuate pangolin roared, and its eyes flickered with regret. If it knew that the other party had reached such a level, it would definitely not come to join in on the battle.
At this moment, even Xiao Zhi understood that this was not all a failure, but an ambush.
Normally speaking, if a demonic beast wished to take human form, it would have to reach the eighth rank. As for Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree, they were already half a step into level eight's domain. Even if he did not undergo this transformation, it would take him less than a few decades to successfully advance to level eight.
The reason why he did that was to make himself more perfect and more powerful.
Also, he used the power of these monsters to remove their shackles. In the future, after taking human form, there would not be any monster's criticisms left behind.
Of course, this did not mean that the monster becoming a human was the best. It was completely another reason. As monsters, they had no way of possessing a dao diagram. Humans, on the other hand, could. If they could break away from their former self, then they could successfully reach the Dao and combine their dao diagrams to become true supreme experts!
This is why some monsters try their best to become humans. Of course, this process will be very difficult.
"Don't think it's that easy!" The unicornuate pangolin roared, extremely unwilling. His entire body was shining brightly. He was actually preparing to burn both jade and stone at the same time.
Seeing that, the Mink bear gritted its teeth, knowing that it would not be able to escape unscathed today. It steeled its heart, the Dao energy in its body immediately went berserk, and it actually chose to do the same.
"How reckless."
The youth was indifferent and unmoved. The four scarlet branches shone brightly once again, like a blood-colored waterfall. Even Xiao Zhi could feel that the blood energy within the bodies of the two Level 7 demon beasts was being crazily devoured.
"Boom!"
The unicornuate pangolin exploded first, turning into a vortex of energy. It was extremely violent, destroying everything in its path. All the trees within a thousand meter radius were turned into dust. If the Xiao Zhi was not at the bottom of the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree, he would probably be affected too.
A portion of the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree s were destroyed, and at the same time, a torrent of energy rushed towards the demon-like youth's location. Within the torrent of energy, one could see the shadow of a pangolin armor, and a single horn on top of its head emitted a sharp light.
"Humph!"
The strange demon youth gave a stuffy snort. His blood-red eyes flashed with anger. In the blink of an eye, the violent energy of the soul spread in all four directions and the unicornuate pangolin had actually used the most difficult soul attack at the last moment. Furthermore, it condensed all of its divine soul into one point to carry out the attack, so even though the strange demon youth had already half a foot into the eighth level, he still found it hard to completely block it.
Just like that, a powerful rank 7 beast had fallen. The two scarlet branches danced in the air, continuously collecting the violent energy. On the other side, the Mink bear also released its most powerful attack. Its entire body turned into a blur, covering the entire sky as it rumbled down.
Although it was just an illusory shadow, it definitely possessed the might of a mountain.
"Bam!"
The earth trembled, and the entire area began to cave in by more than a hundred meters.
"Wow!"
Xiao Zhi was shaken to the point that he vomited blood, the branches wrapped around his body all broke apart, and he felt as if his bones were about to shatter. However, what was worse was that devilish young man, his body had started to crack and his eye sockets were bleeding. He was first attacked by the condensed soul of the unicornuate pangolin, and then the fiercest attack of the Mink bear.
"Everything is under control."
The voice of the youth was cold and indifferent. This kind of injury was nothing to him. The four flying branches slowly returned back to him. His body struggled against the tree stem as if he was about to walk out. At the same time, the lower half of his body was being transformed into a human body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was also at this moment that the Xiao Zhi was at a loss. The Skeleton Dao Diagram finally moved, its arm was like a blade, thrusting straight into the Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree's roots.
