Chapter 1247: The Yuan Sage Makes A Move

That is the Boundless Demon Venerate! I heard that he is the upcoming young genius of 3,000 demon abysses. With his Sky Devouring Law, he can devour just about anything!
said a man with well-defined features.
This man, who was wearing a snow-white long robe, stood loftily in the void as he kept his eyes fixed on the Boundless Demon Venerate.
An elderly man was standing right beside the good-looking man. Even though the elderly man had a crooked body structure, he did not look inferior in any way while standing beside the young man.

I exchanged blows with the Boundless Demon Venerate many years ago as well. He was not that strong back then,
the elderly man said.
It looks like he has finally found the path most suitable for him. If we were to duel again in the future, we might not even be equals.

There was a tinge of ruefulness in the elderly man’s face as he said this.

I initially thought that only insignificant ants would come forward to fight for the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. It looks like I was wrong.
The young man laughed.

The tree branch he wields should be from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree!


I am quite sure that, while the Dragon Tree’s master used the tree branch of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree as leverage for getting favors, in the end, he eventually died despite granting so many favors,
the old man said regretfully.
Power is the most important thing in this world!


Power is indeed important. Otherwise, you would just be overestimating your abilities!
The young man nodded in agreement.
He gazed at Luo Yunyang when he mentioned overestimating one’s abilities. It was obvious from the look on his face that he thought of Luo Yunyang as such an example.
However, as soon as he spoke, the finger jab Luo Yunyang had unleashed clashed head-on into the giant mouth of the Boundless Demon Venerate.
While Luo Yunyang still didn’t manage to activate the strength of the Sky-Wrecking Yuan Sage’s power, he unleashed the Obliteration Finger, which now contained seven levels of sky laws.
Multiple cracks began appearing on the surface of the giant mouth silently before it began to crumble.
There was a look of disbelief on the face of the Boundless Demon Venerate. Given his reputation, he had never expected to be defeated by a nobody!
Luo Yunyang deftly moved past the Boundless Demon Venerate while he was still stunned from this surprise counterattack.
There were only two options available to the Boundless Demon Venerate now. One was to run, and the other was to wait a little longer.
Could there be a correct time to fight for the Hong Meng Dragon Tree? Every step ahead he took was a step closer to the tree. However, given Luo Yunyang’s speed, the Boundless Demon Venerate chose to wait instead.
This was not because he did not want to give chase but because he was terrified of the power of the single finger he had seen earlier.
If he really continued engaging in battle with the guy ahead of him, then there was a chance he might really perish during this fight.
He was only there to help out, not to get killed.
That was why he chose to retreat right at this critical juncture. From his point of view, there was nothing wrong with choosing to retreat at this point in time.
Luo Yunyang continued after bypassing the Boundless Demon Venerate. He was not letting the Demon Venerate off because of his magnanimity but because he simply did not have the time to pursue this situation with someone like that.
The boundless red rays began turning a beautiful tinge of sky blue. Based on this, Luo Yunyang knew that the Hong Meng Dragon Tree had yet to break through to another realm.
Nine turns of time and space and the dragon tree would appear!
The Hong Meng Dragon Tree’s pace while breaking through realms continued to increase. These people would not stand a chance once it successfully broke through all nine realms.
The Boundless Demon Venerate knew this very well. As he watched Luo Yunyang quickly disappear into the distance, he furrowed his brows and made a decision.
This time, he decided to change direction.

Who is that?
the handsome man asked in astonishment. He had never expected an unknown man to put the Boundless Demon Venerate on the back foot.

The Yuanfu Catalog has been determined. Now, the sky and everything else will be sealed as the golden hour approaches. Master, even though you have been blessed by the ancestor, your name is still one of the names on the Yuanfu Catalog so you must be careful.

The voice of the elderly man was apathetic yet sincere.
There was a solemn expression on the face of the young man, and it was obvious that he was not taking this advice very well.

Alright, I understand! If I am able to get just one of the three fruits on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, then I will be able to break through my cultivation level.
The young man laughed.

How could the Boundless Demon Venerate compare to me once I become a Yuan Sage?

The elderly man did not reply but continued observing Luo Yunyang. He felt that there was a slight chance that Luo Yunyang might end up acquiring the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, even though this chance was very slim.
Luo Yunyang did not care less about the multiple pairs of eyes watching him from the surroundings. The tree branch that the Boundless Demon Venerate was wielding had already eliminated his greatest advantage so far.
Now, he really had to go all out if he wanted to acquire the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Luo Yunyang continued advancing, getting closer and closer to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree by making use of the leaf in his hand. The blood shadow and the divine roc, which had taken the lead earlier, were now also making their way to the tree from an equal distance away.
Even so, neither the blood shadow nor the divine roc attacked Luo Yunyang, as both continued to advance rapidly toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
The sky around the Hong Meng Dragon Tree continued to change rapidly. From a tinge of sky blue, it turned dark green and then dark grey. While Luo Yunyang and the rest were advancing, it became golden yellow.
The Hong Meng Dragon Tree stood tall as it swayed gently, controlling the entire sky in its region.
At first look, the Hong Meng Dragon Tree gave everyone the impression that it was only about as tall as another person. However, as they approached, the Hong Meng Dragon Tree seemed to grow to about thirty meters tall and looked like it was growing continuously.
The Hong Meng Dragon Tree leaf seemed to be radiating an increasingly strong energy as Luo Yunyang approached. The leaf also seemed to have developed its own might and was pulling Luo Yunyang’s body closer and closer to the tree as he got nearer.
100,000 miles, 10,000 miles, 5,000 miles…
The size of the tree began increasing rapidly as Luo Yunyang got closer. When he was a few thousand miles away, Luo Yunyang immediately swung his hands to grab the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
His current cultivation base was much stronger than that of a Yuan Monarch. Given his cultivation base, it was not too hard for him to acquire even a galaxy with a simple wave of his hands, let alone a mere divine tree.
However, just as he reached out to grab the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, there was a sudden reaction from the tree and a barrier was formed to protect it.
This barrier blocked Luo Yunyang’s descending hands. Luo Yunyang was unable to do anything to destroy the barrier even by using all his strength.
That was because the barrier contained energy from thousands of realms.
Information appeared in Luo Yunyang’s mind as he was astonished by the sudden transformation of the tree. The Hong Meng Dragon Tree currently did not have an owner. One would have to merge one’s mind power into the tree in order to acquire it.
Upon receiving this piece of news, Luo Yunyang immediately activated his spiritual consciousness to infuse it in the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. The protective cover, which had blocked Luo Yunyang’s earlier attack, did not react when Luo Yunyang began infusing his mind power into the tree.

The Hong Meng Dragon Tree should be returned to the Dakongfan Sect.
A calm, majestic voice resonated in the sky as a figure sitting atop the divine roc soaring in the sky above scanned the area quickly.

Vile being, who said you could have a share of the Hong Meng Divine Tree?
He shouted upon sensing Luo Yunyang’s mind power being infused into the tree.
As he spoke, a hundred pillars of light enveloped the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
These light pillars seemed to overwhelmingly surround the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. However, they began shrinking in size as they approached the tree. Eventually, only a thin ray of mind power the size of a palm fell on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
This was definitely a huge source of embarrassment for the man sitting atop the divine roc. However, he knew that there was just no time to care about this and continued to use his mind power in a frantic attempt to merge into the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.
Luo Yunyang knew that the man sitting on top of the divine roc was definitely under orders to do this. Otherwise, he would not have acted in this manner.
Even though this was his first time meeting this opponent, he was able to guess his status based on his attacks.
It was Yuan Sage Wuxiang of the Dakongfan Sect.
The martialist who was trying to convene the Wanfan Assembly was obviously very concerned about this Divine Tree.
The blood shadow had also stopped in his tracks as he looked at Yuan Sage Wuxiang of the Dakongfan Sect.
Young chap… He he… Only a useless chap like you would be led by the nose by such a small bird. The Hong Meng Dragon Tree is now…

Thick blood-red energies began rising from his body as he spoke. In an instant, these energies came together to form a blood-red figure a thousand times larger.
A blood ray formed by his forehead charged toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree as it enveloped one-tenth of the trunk of the tree.

It is you, Blood Shadow Demon Venerate. I thought you had been sealed up by the Sacred Venerate. Why are you still alive?
Yuan Sage Wuxiang asked with a mixture of terror and astonishment.
It was not easy to surprise Yuan Sage Wuxiang like this. However, as he spoke, another streak of green light broke through the sky and appeared in the upper region of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. The owner of the green light was currently closer to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree compared to Luo Yunyang and the others.

Attention, everybody. There is no longer a need to fight over the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. The tree is mine.
