614: The Tree of Light in the Night Sky

The Tree of Light in the Night Sky

Battle cries rang out as numerous devil gods roared angrily. They attacked Chi Xi.

After this bloody battle, corpses piled up like a mountain and even Chi Xi couldn't help feeling tired. What he cultivated was Anasrava Fighting God Technique, and this kind of technique seized the qi and blood of others to maintain one's peak performance. Furthermore, with three heads and six arms, his close-combat could be said to have reached a perfect realm.

As long as enemies were injured, blood would flow continuously, and it would pour into his body. The longer the battle dragged on, the more it was beneficial for him.

This god technique could be said to be one of the most outstanding techniques during Crimson Light Era. Back then, many people cultivated this, and the number of gods cultivating this was naturally not few as well. Therefore, the gods of Crimson Light Era usually had the appearance of three heads and six arms.

Anasrava Fighting God Technique had two flaws, and the first was that it took a significant burden on the body—one would feel their corporeal body becoming tired. However, their qi and blood would become more and more vigorous.

The second flaw was its divine art was lacking. Since it was a close-combat technique, his attainments in divine arts weren't exceptionally high.

This executioner of Crimson Light Era sat on top of the pile of corpses as night fell. There were numerous flames around, and those were the flames left behind by divine arts, giving off trails of smoke into the night sky.

Decaying City was devastated.

Paper boats were currently sailing over from the darkness. The messengers of death on the boats came to fetch the souls of the dead. Chi Xi looked at these messengers of death that had suddenly appeared with a blank expression. He didn't question anything.

He was the executioner of Crimson Light Celestial Heavens after all. He was already long used to seeing this kind of sight.

While sitting on the corpse mountain, he looked into the distance. A three-faced devil god was walking towards him, and as he walked, that devil god was adjusting his state. It was a terrifying opponent with extraordinary abilities.

Respectable King Fu Riluo!

Chi Xi adjusted his position as he stepped on the head of a corpse while his other leg hung down freely. He was stabilizing his breath and regaining his composure—he was trying his best to suppress his anger, waiting for the moment to unleash it all.

His opponent was the respectable king of the devil race. He had once slain another respectable king, and he had relied on God Execution Mysterious Knife to do it. He knew how powerful and terrifying this kind of opponent was so he needed to have a perfect frame of mind. He couldn't give his opponent any chance at all.

His anger and his thirst for revenge provided him with power. However, they could also make him lose his rationality.

Only by suppressing his anger and waiting for the moment where life and death were determined could he deal a fatal blow to his enemy. He would burst forth with the anger he had suppressed for so long. When that time comes, he would be able to fight to his heart's content and release his anger. The successful revenge would bring immense joy to his Dao heart!

From a distance, Respectable King Fu Riluo was still walking over. If one didn't see clearly, he didn't look like a devil god of the devil race—he looked like a handsome middle-aged man that was scholarly and refined.

As he walked, his arms moved up and down as he executed divine arts after divine arts. However, these divine arts only gathered and didn't disperse. He held back their power without releasing.

The frequency of his striding legs wasn't fast, but he moved at a breathtaking pace. It gave others the illusion that he was rushing down from a high mountain.

This was a kind of aura—an invincible aura!

His outward appearance didn't match with the movement of his legs. The rate of his footsteps was very slow, yet he gave off an impression of being unrivaled!

His divine arts accumulated at an alarming rate and Chi Xi couldn't help feeling pressured. The pressure grew stronger and stronger until he couldn't sit any longer!

Behind him, layers of space suddenly bloomed, and it made Decaying City move further and further away from him. The corpses were also gradually moving away.

Fu Riluo's divine arts were already prepared for the fierce battle that was about to occur. He shifted the corpses of these devils so Chi Xi couldn't borrow any qi and blood.

If he were to make a move now, Fu Riluo's invincible aura would not reach its full potential!

Chi Xi rose into the air. His six hands wielded the six long golden knives and swung them up and down, exploding with all kinds of battle technique divine arts!

The battle technique divine arts were like a torrent formed from waves, overlapping each other continuously. As they accumulated, the wave of knife lights piled up higher and higher!

His speed became even faster as he walked three hundred yards above the ground. After several steps, the ground below suddenly appeared as though there were dried-up lakes with the shape of footsteps!

The ground trembled, and those dried-up lakes appeared one after another. Even the mountains were flattened from being stepped on. He closed in on Fu Riluo who was walking calmly at an incomparably terrifying speed!

The dried-up lakes appeared quickly in front of Fu Riluo—they were only six hundred yards away from him.

Finally, the two terrifying existences clashed with each other!

…

Far away, in a city tower of Li City, Qin Mu was about to take a rest when he saw a strange light coming from the west.

That place was the territory of the devil race.

The youth standing on the city tower looked into the distance as light burst forth in the night sky. Even though the distance was far, the light was still incredibly piercing to the eyes.

That light was like a sturdy tree, and it suddenly rose as the light rushed into the sky. Even in Li City, he could see the light pillar growing upward.

After a short while, extremely bright branches grew out from this bare tree. The tree branches showed dazzling shapes of lightning.

Qin Mu tried to use Nine Heavens Eyes Awakening Skill to see what was going on there, but he couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

With such a far distance, he couldn't even see a hundred thousand feet mountain, much less the figures of gods!

However, he could well imagine the intensity and fierceness of that battle!

'Fu Riluo and Chi Xi must be fighting each other now,' he thought to himself.

Everyone in Li City was alarmed, and they all flew into midair or scaled high places to see this rare sight.

After the first branch of light appeared, a bright flash burst out from the trunk as the second branch of light spread outwards, followed by the third, and the fourth...

More and more branches stretched out from the tree of light until it appeared like a lush treetop. In just a few breaths' time, Qin Mu and the rest of the divine arts practitioners and gods in Li City could see a huge tree of light rising in the dark sky on the west. The crown of the tree was densely packed and swaying imposingly.

Right at this moment, the tree of light suddenly became dim and vanished. Darkness returned to the west.

"The battle has ended?"

Qin Mu's heart was still pounding, and he muttered, "Who won? Fu Riluo or Chi Xi?"

"I don't know." A voice came from behind him.

Qin Mu hurriedly turned around and saw True God Pang Yu, God Sang Ye, and the rest of the gods in Supreme Emperor Heaven. These gods had appeared like a phantom, and it must be because the city tower was the highest, so they had all arrived here to take a look at the strange sight in the west.

True God Pang Yu shook his head and said, "I had fought Fu Riluo numerous times, and they mostly ended in my defeat. Only a few people could match up to him. Based on my experience, Fu Riluo had already executed all he could in that battle just now, but it's hard to say if he had won or lost. Even if he had won, it would be a bitter victory."

Qin Mu's heart started to itch. "I want to go there and take a look..."

True God Pang Yu became alert, and he said, "Cult Master Qin, Imperial Preceptor and Heavenly Teacher are both not here, so it's best if you don't create any trouble."

Qin Mu said seriously, "True god, I have stayed in Supreme Emperor Heaven for half a year now. Have you seen me creating trouble before? Don't accuse me."

True God Pang Yu was full of smiles. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I understand everything Cult Master Qin said. My words were inappropriate. May Cult Master forgive me."

God Sang Ye leaned and whispered in his ears, "City Lord, have you forgotten how he smashed the suns of our Supreme Emperor Heaven?"

"Shush."

Pang Yu lowered his voice and said, "He doesn't have a full grasp of what he did, and wasn't it the same for you? He's Heavenly Teacher's disciple, so you and I can't provoke him! What's more, he even got Imperial Preceptor to create two suns for us, and they look much nicer than the previous ones."

God Sang Ye immediately shut his mouth.

Qin Mu looked at the darkness in the west that was growing thicker and thicker. He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his voice while saying excitedly, "Fu Riluo and Chi Xi are both heavily injured at the moment, so now is the best time to take their heads! How I wish I could pick up Fu Riluo and Chi Xi's heads..."

True God Pang Yu was startled, and he threw a glance at God Sang Ye. "Watch him. Don't let him create any trouble."

Sang Ye nodded his head repeatedly.2

…

On the other side, outside of Decaying City, Fu Riluo landed on the ground, and he turned around to vanish into the darkness.

Chi Xi also landed on the ground. He stumbled while his hands clutched at his chest. He was applying pressure on his wounded chest, but he still couldn't contain it. His body suddenly split apart, and spoiled blood spurted out violently. His three heads and three mouths were spewing blood continuously.

His body shriveled up in a short moment and the six knives in his hands shattered.

Both he and Fu Riluo had indeed suffered heavy injuries, and they had never said a word from the start until the end. There were only dull sounds of fighting, and in that short period where they fought, they managed to injure each other heavily and almost exhausted each other completely.

The reason why Fu Riluo turned to leave was that he had numerous wounds on his body. He was worried Chi Xi would take the chance to seize his qi and blood, so retreating was the best method to slay Chi Xi.

He would summon devil gods without wounds, and they would be able to take Chi Xi's life effortlessly.

As the sage of the devil race, he was indisputable. He was much brighter than anyone.

Chi Xi also understood why Fu Riluo had retreated. He knew he couldn't stay there any longer—devil gods would come shortly to take his life.

However, his qi and blood had withered so he couldn't walk much further. He would be caught up by the devil gods, and when that time comes, his death would be due.

"Am I going to die here?"

Chi Xi knelt, and his three heads hung down. His heart was depressed. "I haven't even returned to the ancestral land. I haven't returned to my clansmen to tell them about the situation of the ancestral land. I can't accept this..."

Far away in Decaying City, a lump of black gas floated to and fro among the corpses like a phantom. Sometimes, it was like a small tree; sometimes, it was like a stubborn rock.

There were also small flags around this lump of black gas that floated around, absorbing the devil qi and claiming the broken souls that the messengers of death didn't want.

This lump of black gas floated and transformed numerous times. Sometimes, it would even land in flames from the divine arts, turning into fire.

Not long after, this lump of black gas tried to come near Chi Xi. It seemed worried and hesitant, as though it wanted to check if Chi Xi was dead and scavenge some wealth.

"You're a human," Chi Xi suddenly said.

That lump of devil gas jumped in shock and instantly turned into a bush.

Chi Xi continued saying, "You don't have to transform in front of me. I've seen through your disguise. If you can save me, I will take you in as my disciple, and I'll teach you the supreme art of Crimson Light Era, Anasrava Fighting God Technique, granting you a huge benefit."

That bush shook, and the bush disappeared. A youth with two deer legs appeared in front of Chi Xi, and he bent his legs to bow. "Pangong Tso pays my respects to master! Master, don't worry, I have been blending in the devil race for a few months now. When it comes to escaping, no one will dare to say they are better than me!"
