Chapter 961: The Unpredictable Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo
The Demon-Removing God Lord felt he had suffered the worst luck of eight lifetimes. The battle was completely against him, the Demon-Subduing God Lord on his side was unreliable and could turn on him at any moment, and he often had to recite Buddhist scriptures to adjust his mood.
On the other hand, there was a Semi-Immortal, an Immortal Tree with a born soul, and a Pass Tribulation Cultivator on the opposing side.
Even the Landscape Monarch would not necessarily be able to defeat them, let alone himself.
It's better to run.
The Demon-Removing God Lord felt the tree roots continually retracting, tightening more and more.
"I'll save you, and I hereby establish the rule: 'The body of the Laurel Tree Ancestor cannot be restored'!" The Demon-Subduing God Lord swung the Giant Halberd and exerted all his strength in a downward strike, but suddenly a tree root extended and collided with the halberd. The halberd broke off half of the root, but it immediately restored itself to its original state.
"How is that possible? I've established a rule."
The Demon-Removing God Lord couldn't help but curse in anger, "Idiot, the Tree Ancestor has reached the 'Immortal Object' level. How could a Pass Tribulation Cultivator's rule shake it!"
"I generously tried to save you, and you dare curse at me?!" The Demon-Subduing God Lord was equally furious, picking up the Divine Halberd and slamming it down on the Demon-Removing God Lord's head, causing his head to buzz.
"Let's set the record straight; I didn't use the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo just now," declared Chasing Moon True Person first.
"Nonsense, it was clearly you who pulled strings just now!" The Demon-Subduing God Lord hurriedly argued to clear his position.
No one could determine who was telling the truth.
The Demon-Removing God Lord could no longer concern himself with discerning truth from falsehood; his top priority was to escape quickly.
"Vajra Dharma Aspect!" The Demon-Removing God Lord shouted loudly, summoning the Vajra Dharma Aspect, a hundred zhang in height. While the roots were entangling the Dharma Aspect, he made a large hole in front of the Dharma Aspect's chest and hurried out.
"You think you can run away after coming to the Fairy Palace!"
At the very moment the Demon-Removing God Lord was about to leave the Fairy Palace's territory, countless roots shot up into the sky, rising straight up and forming an impenetrable wooden wall.
The Demon-Removing God Lord flew towards the right side, but the roots were always one step ahead, rising at an extremely fast speed.
The vast Fairy Palace was instantly surrounded by the roots.
The Laurel Tree Ancestor had been growing in the Great Snow Mountain since Ancient Times, and its roots were spread in every corner of the mountain. Not to mention enclosing the Fairy Palace situated in the Great Snow Mountain, even sealing off the entire mountain would not be difficult.
In theory, the Laurel Tree Ancestor was comparable to a Pass Tribulation Cultivator, but given its massive size, it could be equated to the still Transcendance Tribulation Stage Time Immortal and should not be treated like an ordinary Pass Tribulation Cultivator.
Its only weakness was that it could not leave the range of the Great Snow Mountain.
"Damn it, do they really think I am made of mud?"
The Demon-Removing God Lord, seeing that there was no escape, flew into a rage and decided to fight the Fairy Palace to the death. The Fairy Palace did not have any particularly strong offensive methods, and his Vajra Dao Fruit Outline was not afraid at all.
However, the Demon-Removing God Lord's momentum surged, then quickly his anger disappeared and his momentum dropped.
He became furious again, and his anger disappeared again.
Angry, then subsided.
"Fairy Palace, you've gone too far!" The Demon-Removing God Lord glared, feeling empty inside, his rage unable to come forth, which was unbearably uncomfortable.
Chasing Moon True Person sneered coldly, "Don't think that shouting a few times and getting angry will make your strength surge. I'm not giving you that chance."
She hadn't read through so many stories and novels for nothing.
"Demon-Subduing, go kill all the disciples of the Fairy Palace!" The Demon-Removing God Lord had a moment of quick wit. He didn't believe that the Fairy Palace side could remain indifferent to the slaughter of their disciples.
They would certainly divide their attention to deal with the Demon-Subduing True Monarch, and as a result, the pressure on himself would be greatly reduced.
"Dream on!"
Patriarch Fang took out a wooden box, opened it, and a beam of light enveloped the Demon-Subduing God Lord, who was just about to start a massacre. Without any control, the Demon-Subduing God Lord was drawn into the box.
"Restraining Light Treasure Box." The Demon-Removing God Lord sneered. He had heard of this famous Immortal Treasure, made from the horn of a mythical creature, which could suck people in and force them to fight, only releasing them after determining a winner or loser.
The Immortal Fairy had controlled Lu Yang's body and engaged in duels with four Immortal Sect Masters inside the Restraining Light Treasure Box, a glorious moment indeed.
The Demon-Removing God Lord knew his plan was successful. Surely one person had to enter the treasure box to be the opponent of the Demon-Subduing God Lord, and it must be a Pass Tribulation Cultivator. Anyone below that level was going in to die.
So, this must be the Transcendance Tribulation Stage of Patriarch Fang.
Little did he expect that Patriarch Fang was well-prepared, took out a bag of ants, and stuffed them into a wooden box.
The Demon-Subduing God Lord could only leave if he defeated this swarm of ants.
But the space within the wooden box was immense, beyond the full coverage of the Demon-Subduing God Lord's Spiritual Sense.
"I hope the Demon-Subduing God Lord can find all the ants."
Luo Hongxia's left eye twitched twice; she hadn't expected the Restraining Light Treasure Box to be used in this way.
There's a reason they're called Patriarch.
"One less opponent can only be a good thing!" The Demon-Removing God Lord said through gritted teeth, unwilling to admit that his plan had failed, and these younger-generation cultivators were really damn unscrupulous.
"For the cause of Demon-Removing and protecting the way!" The Demon-Removing God Lord used the power of incense, transforming into the same world-protecting Divine Monarch from thirty thousand years ago.
The Jade Dragon breathed out bitterly cold air to freeze the Demon-Removing God Lord; the Embryo of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit disrupted his emotions making his attacks and defenses incoherent while the merciless roots lashed at him.
Boom!
The ice exploded, and the Demon-Removing God Lord slowly walked out, his lips curled into a proud and unrestrained smile.
"Come on, let's see how your attacks can hurt me!"
"You asked for it!" The Fairy Palace's side didn't hesitate and launched a second round of attacks.
Lu Yang, who was watching the battle from up close, noticed something wrong: "Doesn't the Demon-Removing God Lord seem slightly off, as if he's actually enjoying this?"
"Could it be that Senior Chasing Moon has tampered with him, making the Demon-Removing God Lord think that pain is pleasure?"
Lu Yang felt that the Dao Fruit Outline of Seven Emotions was truly terrifying, with unpredictable and unstoppable methods; one might not even know when they were affected.
Fortunately, Senior Chasing Moon was on their side.
Lu Yang suddenly looked up, sensing danger approaching, just as an attack splashed towards him and Startling Swan.
"Senior Sister, let's clasp hands!" Lu Yang shouted loudly, and Startling Swan instantly understood Lu Yang's intention. They both struck out with their palms, collided, and flew backward, avoiding the attack's range.
"Hmm, how come someone has sneaked into the Fairy Palace." Fairy Eternity furrowed her brow, as another person had just entered the Fairy Palace.
...
"Let them fight, the more intense, the better," a figure said, looking up at the Demon-Removing God Lord who was being beaten, laughing with a heh-heh.
The Demon-Subduing and Demon-Removing God Lord was just a distraction to catch the Fairy Palace's attention—this person was the real one intending to bring down the Tree Ancestor.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the figure felt a burning sensation in his chest. He pulled out a token, one of the four, that was heating up.
He held the token, trembling with excitement.
"Is this...one of the Four Ancient Immortals nearby?!"
At that moment, he completely forgot about the Laurel Tree Ancestor's affair. Compared to the whereabouts of the Four Ancient Immortals, and compared to the Dao Fruit of the Four Ancient Immortals, what did the Laurel Tree Ancestor matter!
He kept moving, searching for the direction where the token felt hottest, and his gaze quickly settled on the pitch-black ring in the hands of Startling Swan.
The Ancient Immortal was inside that ring!
He lunged at Startling Swan, who was blissfully unaware; if Startling Swan took the hit, it would undoubtedly be fatal!
The presence within the Ancient Ring sighed, and seeing that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to make a move.
A vortex emerged from the Ancient Ring, drawing the attack into it.
The figure seized the opportunity to enter the Ancient Ring.
"Specter Monarch of the Great Qian Dynasty, paying my respects to Ying Tian Immortal."
