Chapter 425 The Tree Demon King's Kingdom
Lord Shanyang's plan was indeed very thorough.
This old monster had even figured out the terrain inside the Bodhi Tree Demon's body, knew which areas the roots of the Bodhi Tree spread to, where the most hidden entrance was, and which areas had the most wandering spirits...
This old thing had been preparing for a long time.
Thinking this, Li Muyang glanced at Lord Shanyang beside him.
By now, they had already left Yangshou Mountain and arrived at a secluded mountain wilderness.
This mountain wilderness was desolate and remote, with the nearest city over sixty li away.
But according to Lord Shanyang's description, there was a root of the Bodhi Tree underground here that could lead to the main trunk of the Bodhi Tree.
—The Bodhi Tree Demon, having lived for nearly ten thousand years, had extended its roots to every inch of land beyond the border.
This monster, with its methods, was monitoring the situation beyond the border, playing the role of the supreme ruler.
Meanwhile, Li Muyang was not present in his true form.
Instead, he had used the incarnation of incense power.
His incense incarnation had one hundred percent of his true form's cultivation level and, moreover, its death would not cause any harm to his true form.
For such a dangerous mission, Li Muyang naturally sent his incense incarnation, not daring to let the Dragon Maiden risk herself.
Lord Shanyang, upon seeing Li Muyang's incense incarnation, was filled with envy.
"What a powerful external incarnation..."
"Truly worthy of the true dragon bloodline, to possess such Divine Skills..."
Lord Shanyang was so envious that he almost drooled.
But that was all he could do, envy.
This was a Divine Skill brought about by the awakening of the true dragon bloodline, not a technique that could be taught.
Even though Lord Shanyang was envious, he had no way to exchange with Li Muyang.
He stood in the wilderness, carefully examining a map for a while, then pulled out two pieces of white paper from his pocket.
With a pinch and a squeeze, the two thin-as-cicada-wing pieces of paper swiftly expanded and transformed into two paper figures in the wilderness.
The aura of the two paper figures was chillingly powerful, much stronger than ordinary paper figures.@@@@
Creating these two paper figures clearly also consumed a great deal of Lord Shanyang's energy.
He clutched his chest and gasped for a while before finally instructing the paper figures.
They carefully avoided them and finally arrived at a fork-like location.
After leaving this branching root, what appeared before them was a small village
Various Divine Skills cheered in the village, and aside from their strange cylindrical houses, this place was almost no different from the outside villages.
Yangshou Mountain became even more cautious in its stealth.
It circled around the small town ahead, whispering, "The more Divine Skills in a gathering place, the greater the chance of encountering a powerful one."
"This is just the edge region. If we enter the tree monster's trunk, we could even see real cities!"
"The strongest beings there, you and I would both have to expend some effort to deal with if encountered alone."
As Yangshou Mountain spoke, its expression turned a bit sour, seemingly stirring up some unpleasant memories.
Clearly, it was so familiar with the tree monster's trunk because it had been here before and had suffered defeat.
Li Muyang smiled but said nothing, continuing to sneak further inward with Yangshou Mountain.
Having passed the Divine Skills' habitat in that village, they didn't walk much further when they saw a majestic statue standing on the road ahead.
It was a statue completely carved out of wood, looking solemn and sacred. The base of the statue connected with the ground, appearing to be part of the tree itself.
Yangshou Mountain spat, its face darkening: "This is the tree monster's annual ring incarnation."
"Every single ring turns into a statue standing within its body."
"We must kill this annual ring incarnation to continue forward." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Fortunately, each annual ring incarnation exists independently, and as long as no Divine Skills see us when we attack, the old tree monster won't notice."
Yangshou Mountain spoke, instructing Li Muyang, "Quickly seal off the aura of this place to prevent Divine Skills from approaching."
"I'll go up first and slaughter this tree monster incarnation. Watch carefully how I deal with it. The next annual ring incarnation, it's your turn!"
Yangshou Mountain finished speaking and immediately leapt up, rushing towards the wooden statue in the middle of the avenue ahead.
Li Muyang immediately waved his sleeve, deploying a small mist within the body of the tree monster.
Amid the swirling fog, both the figures and auras of Yangshou Mountain and the tree monster incarnation were entirely hidden.
And Yangshou Mountain, leaping forth, threw a heavy punch directly at the tree monster incarnation in front of him.
"You old freak! Bet you didn't see this coming! I'm here to kill you today!"
Yangshou Mountain's angry demeanor was like that of mortal enemies meeting, very much with a sense of deep animosity.
—Even though it was facing just an incarnation.
