Chapter 768: Chapter 425 Xunmu Tree Heart_2

The formation is broken!

And across from them, those many elites of the Spirit Human Race who had relied on the formation, collaborating to obstruct them, including nearly ten Grandmasters at the Elder Level, all looked utterly bewildered.

“Kill.”

Jiang Han was the first to snap back from the excitement, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. His entire being suddenly surged forward, charging towards those elites of the Spirit Human Race.

It wasn’t just about swiftly killing off the last resistance of the Spirit Human Race, but also about rushing into their central settlement to loot resources, as there were too many Grandmasters present. Any delay might mean missing out on loot.

“Die.”

Hong Shida also made his move brazenly. His entire being surged forward, his unparalleled Grandmaster strength displaying. Previously, those Spirit Humans could hold their ground against him with the formation, but now as he surged into their midst, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Hundreds of Grandmasters shouted and charged in, displaying overwhelming momentum, turning the scene into a bloody mess within moments.

Chen Mu didn’t watch the battle below. After shattering the Formation Light Screen with a move “Heaven and Earth as One,” he turned his gaze toward the forbidden land of the Spirit Humans situated in the center of the core settlement, where the main trunk of the heavenly-reaching Xunmu tree lay.

Whoosh.

With a single step, he had already vanished into the sky.

Below, others also paid attention to Chen Mu’s movements, such as Yan Hong and others, but after seeing Chen Mu disappear, none of them pursued. By now, almost everyone had a mutual understanding not to compete with Chen Mu for resources.

Or perhaps it was not only impossible to compete, but utterly futile. No matter how precious the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items in the Spirit Human core settlement were, Chen Mu would be the first to choose. Others could only scramble for the leftovers.

…

Tens of miles was but a moment’s journey for Chen Mu.

The Spirit Humans residing in the core settlement posed no threat to him; most of them were still staring at the sky, looking at the shattered Formation Light Screen in disbelief, not noticing Chen Mu passing by.

Chen Mu did not engage in indiscriminate slaughter; in fact, he had no interest in killing. His focus was only on the resources of the Spirit Human core settlement and, with the time of departure from Xunmu Cave Heaven approaching, he wanted to waste no time.

Whoosh.

In nearly an instant, Chen Mu reached the center of the Xunmu Cave Heaven, underneath the trunk of the towering tree. Looking up, he could see the trunk of the Xunmu giant tree, which was almost as majestic as a mountain.

The whole trunk of the giant tree was covered in ancient ridges. With just a glance, Chen Mu could almost feel its ancient and long history. This tree must have existed for many more years than simply thousands or tens of thousands!

Even with Chen Mu’s current realm, looking up at this towering tree, which could cover thousands of miles under its canopy, he could only feel his own insignificance and frailty. His Marrow Cleansing Limit Qiankun Martial Body seemed vastly inferior in comparison to this life form, which was capable of supporting an entire world.

Although the Xunmu Grand Formation was destroyed.

It was because the Xunmu Grand Formation itself was formed by many Formation Keystones, drawing and channeling the strength of Xunmu, and it was not the Xunmu itself. Moreover, the power it drew was less than one percent of Xunmu’s power.

The destruction of the formation had practically no effect on this Xunmu tree.

Even as Chen Mu approached closely, he could feel that the trunk of this Xunmu, along with its roots and branches, was distinctively different. Even deploying his full strength, he doubted he could leave any mark on its surface!

“Unbelievable life.”

Ripples emerged in Chen Mu’s eyes, and waves of emotion surged within him.

As a Martial Artist.

He had experienced the vastness of the cosmos, the majesty of mountains and rivers, the grandeur of seas and oceans, while always being aware of his own insignificance, understanding the boundlessness of Qiankun, knowing the frailty of common folk.

But all that he had experienced, everything that made him feel so very small, was lifeless—vast mountains and rivers, the infinite universe.

But Xunmu…

This was a giant tree, essentially a kind of life!

When extracting Xunmu Spirit Liquid from the roots of the Xunmu or moving horizontally across the canopy, there was no direct experience of its essence. Only when one arrived near this giant tree and looked up at its trunk could one vividly feel that overwhelming and monumental force.

Could life reach such a state?

Chen Mu could not imagine, if this Xunmu giant tree possessed consciousness, how terrifying that would be. Even a Celestial Human Master, in its presence, would seem as insignificant as ants, easily wiped out with a swing.

After all, even for a Celestial Human Master, the so-called Unity of Heaven and Man, at most, involves merging body and spirit with the environment of thousands of miles; they couldn’t possibly control the power of heaven and earth within thousands of miles, only their senses could reach that range. The actual command over the Power of Heaven and Earth they could mobilize, compared to the ordinary Martial Arts Domain of the Blood Exchange Realm, was only much larger by several multiples.

But what about this Xunmu?

Its mere physical extension could cover thousands of miles of heaven and earth!

To say it was a part of heaven and earth itself was not an exaggeration; this level of existence should not be possible for life, and seemed more like a natural marvel of heaven and earth… And most incredibly, it grew in the Xunmu Cave Heaven.

Chen Mu found the existence of such a Xunmu, even if it grew in the Da Xuan, to be extraordinarily unbelievable, as its sprawling canopy could cover an area of tens of thousands of miles within a state, let alone growing in this Xunmu Cave Heaven, which was even more bizarre.

The most direct experience was this.

By the standards of the Xunmu Cave Heaven, it simply shouldn’t be able to support the existence of such a lifeform.

Chen Mu could not imagine, a long, long time ago, a small sapling taking root in the Xunmu Cave Heaven, continuously growing by drawing the power from the Cave Heaven until it reached its current size.

Considering the essence of the Xunmu Cave Heaven, which was clearly a notch below that of the Da Xuan world, this place couldn’t even handle the transformation of the Blood Exchange Realm, much less draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth for Blood Exchange. How could it possibly nurture something like the Xunmu?

At this moment, Chen Mu thought.

It’s better to say that the Xunmu spread out the Xunmu Cave Heaven rather than the Cave Heaven nurturing the Xunmu; it was the one that stretched out a new world in the void, shrouding this land and water.

“This Xunmu, absolutely could not have been nurtured by this Cave Heaven…”

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

He even felt that even the vast land of the Ninety-Nine State in the Da Xuan world might not possibly support the existence of such a lifeform; perhaps the birthplace of this Xunmu was even more vast than the mountains and rivers of Da Xuan.

However, Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts. Whether or not there was a world more vast than Da Xuan was not an issue he needed to delve into deeply at the moment, nor had the time come for him to ponder it deeply.

Chen Mu turned his gaze towards the main trunk of the Xunmu, rapidly passing a section, and soon at the very bottom of the trunk, near its roots, he found an entrance leading inside the Xunmu’s main trunk.

He also vaguely captured that inside there was the location of the previously shattered Xunmu Grand Formation’s Formation Base.

Without a doubt.

This must also be the true forbidden land of the Spirit People Race.

Chen Mu took two steps forward, the whole person descended from the air, arriving in front of the dark passageway leading to the interior of the forbidden land. He looked inside, carefully inspecting it, confirmed there was no excessive danger, and slowly walked in.

Along the passageway, he walked straight for about a thousand steps, when his field of view suddenly widened significantly, and emerald light shone through, illuminating a wooden hollow deep within the trunk of the Xunmu.

Visible there.

Scattered around this wooden hollow were many broken keystones, each gray and dilapidated, precisely the Formation Base of the Xunmu Grand Formation.

In the center of the hollow was a Spiritual Pool about ten square meters in size, rippling with rich life and spiritual power, every drop of liquid emerald green, clearly an entire pool of Xunmu Spirit Liquid, weighing thousands to tens of thousands of pounds!

Next to the Spiritual Pool sat a figure covered in cracks, blood flowing down the cracks of its body, accumulating beneath it into a Blood Pool, the new Spirit Ancestor of the Spirit People Race, Ling Ji.

There was no breath of life on its body, its head drooping, appearing like a corpse.
