Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension - Chapter 769: 454 The Great Compassion of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds

Chapter 769: Chapter 454 The Great Compassion of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds

An hour later, Zhao Sheng flew out ten thousand miles in one breath, not stopping until he was out of the territory of the group of strange apes. The golden yellow twilight that filled the sky a hundred miles behind him finally came to a halt, slowly dissipating amid reluctant howls.

In the time that followed, he continued to fly, traveling for about half an hour, flying out of the mountainous region, and arriving above the Barbaric Ancient Forest shrouded in towering ancient trees and dense miasma.

Within the vast and boundless ancient forest, more than a dozen ancient trees, each a thousand feet tall, were scattered throughout the immense jungle, like absolute rulers among the ancient woods. At a distance, they looked like gigantic tree peaks, soaring between heaven and earth, more than ten times taller than all other trees.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze turned to the closest ancient tree as he suddenly transformed into a tunneling light and flew towards it.

Three breaths later, on a branch of the ancient tree that was three feet thick and stretched out at an angle, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged. The branch beneath him was ochre in color, smooth all over with patterns, and carried a fragrance similar to that of pear blossoms.

“Strange, what kind of realm is this? Could it be that I’ve really traveled through time?”

Gazing at the three Great Suns hanging in the sky, Zhao Sheng was utterly puzzled.

A moment later, he retracted his gaze and examined the ancient tree beneath him with scrutiny. Looking at its branches and leaves, there was no doubt he did not recognize them at all.

Boom!

Zhao Sheng pointed with his finger and instantly a golden Sword Light shot out from his fingertip, striking the opposite trunk. The trunk immediately exploded, creating a three-foot-deep, wide hole. The wood fibers around the hole soon secreted an overflowing green Spirit Liquid, filling the bottom of the hole.

Hmm?

Seeing the pool of green liquid, Zhao Sheng’s eyes moved, and his Divine Thought instantly spread. He saw the Spirit Liquid rise from the pit, forming a stream in the air, and gathering in front of him into a head-sized green Water Ball.

He cast more than a dozen spells into it in quick succession, and his face immediately showed a trace of astonishment.

This green Spirit Liquid turned out to be a kind of Heaven and Earth Spirit Water with a very high Spiritual Essence and quality, almost comparable to the Azure Netherworld True Water.

Looking up at this towering tree that obscured the sun, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but be astounded, “Such a sky-reaching tree, the Spirit Water it produces, when combined, could fill not just thousands of ways but probably an entire lake.”

Not just that!

You should know that within this Mang Forest, there are as many as a dozen ancient trees like this one.

“Good heavens! Looks like I’m going to strike it rich!” Unable to contain his joy, Zhao Sheng waved his hand over his waist, and a light green gourd instantly fell into his hand.

Aiming the mouth of the gourd at the Spirit Liquid suspended in mid-air, Zhao Sheng slapped the body of the gourd, prompting a clear twilight ray to shoot out from the opening, and in the blink of an eye, the ball of Spirit Liquid was sucked into the gourd.

Hum!

More and more Sword Lights landed on the trunk, creating huge pits, one after another. Following which, an abundance of green Spirit Liquid flowed out from the tree wall, forming pools of Clear Spirit Jade Liquid.

Zhao Sheng suspended the treasure gourd mid-air, and the mouth of the gourd emitted bursts of clear twilight rays, rapidly pulling in the groups of Spirit Liquid before quickly flying back into the gourd.

As he busied himself collecting the Spirit Liquid, a roar filled with extreme anger suddenly erupted from below. The roar shook the heavens and the earth, violently shaking every branch and leaf of the tree, and stirring up gusts of wind.

Zhao Sheng’s brow furrowed, gripping the treasure gourd and hanging it by his waist while looking downwards.

At that moment, a mass of black light burst through layers of verdant, lush foliage, whirling upwards like a cyclone.

Within the black light was an enormous Silver-Backed Ape, as majestic as a mountain, standing three stories tall and covered in black fur.

With ugliness comparable to a demon walking the earth, its pair of bell-sized black pupils had now turned completely blood-red with rage. The immense aura it released was as powerful as a Late-stage Nascent Soul, with the unruly breath almost materializing into substance.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s spirit stirred, and a Platinum Fire Tripod materialized in front of him. In an instant, the tripod released a vast sea of golden fire: the Golden Crow True Fire he had often used.

Roar!

The Silver-Backed Ape, stepping on black light and clenching its cauldron-sized fists, ferociously beat its chest and howled in anger at Zhao Sheng. Behind it, a gigantic Dharma Image of an ape emerged, brimming with a vehement desire to kill, charging at Zhao Sheng.

Despite its nearly irrational rage, the ape’s instinctual combat skills remained intact. Its assault was so powerful it could knock down a mountain, seemingly intent on crushing the Spirit Liquid Thief into pulp in one strike.

Zhao Sheng, calm and composed, pointed with one hand as the Golden Crow True Fire in front of him transformed into a blazing sun. The Thousand Flame Tripod rapidly swelled, instantly becoming the size of a house, and when it settled in the center of the blazing sun, it shone with a dazzling Divine Light.

Boom!

The gigantic sun plummeted swiftly, proactively colliding with the charging Dharma Image of the ape.

Boom!

A blinding fire cloud instantly expanded in all directions, and in a flash, branches and leaves within several miles caught fire and turned to ash.

Roar!

The Silver-Backed Ape, together with its Dharma Image, was blasted away, its body engulfed in raging flames, a round indentation clearly visible on its chest, as strands of alien True Fire rampaged within its body.

Burning and howling in panic, the ape thrashed in wild fury!

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed; ever since witnessing that earth-shattering battle, his cultivation had soared inexplicably, nearing the peak of the Sixth Layer.

Not only that, his control over Mana was like an extension of his own limbs, reaching a realm of meticulous finesse, and his comprehension of the Taoist Law had elevated substantially.

Driving the Thousand Flame Tripod this time, its power was not only nearly twice as strong as before, but the consumption of Mana and Divine Thought had also reduced by more than thirty percent.
