I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 1268: 1267: The Blessing of the Tree God, Three Corpses Decay Poison

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: The Blessing of the Tree God, Three Corpses Decay Poison

“Moreover, the Wood God didn’t just have strong innate conditions. He also constantly cultivated himself, inquiring with the Firmament and testing danger with his own body,” the Old Tree explained.

“But you, this Tree of Life, have taken another path. You cultivate with pure heart without activating wisdom, thus avoiding the calamities of Heavenly Tribulation and earthly difficulties.

However, this also limits your future. As things stand, it’s already the limit,” he continued.

“Why did the other Ancient Gods want to kill the Wood God?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I only know that the Wood God was unwilling to collude with them. As for the specifics, I’m not sure,” the Old Tree replied.

“So what? What are you trying to tell me?” Xu Zimei inquired.

“You’ve inherited the Wood God’s legacy, making you likely to become an enemy of the other Ancient Gods, especially the Poison God, She Bish,” the Old Tree warned.

“So, do you still want the inheritance?”

“Yes, it’s no longer the era of Ancient Gods Seeking the Dao. What of the Ancient Gods? The Torrent of this era will annihilate everything.

Those who have been abandoned by the new era, what can they possibly do?” Xu Zimei stated calmly and confidently.

“Good, I appreciate that confidence in you,” the Old Tree laughed.

He stretched out his branches, and bit by bit, began to pull his tree trunk from the earth.

It seemed that the entire Rihua City began to shake.

This Old Tree used the last of his Life Energy to pierce the Firmament, creating a Life Passage behind him.

It was like falling into a green ocean, a path surrounded by floating green Elves.

The richness of the Life Energy was imaginable.

Death and life are inherently opposites.

When this Life Passage appeared, all the Death Flowers in the entire city seemed to respond.

Even those Death Flowers that had not yet bloomed opened up, their black and purple petals resembling the depths of Hell.

As the countless Death energies emitted, a massive flower formed in the void.

This Death Flower surged directly toward the Life Passage.

“Go quickly, I won’t hold them off for long,” the Old Tree stood in front of the Death Flower, shouting.

The Death energies were decaying his tree body, causing the bark to peel off, transforming it into an ancient posture.

Xu Zimei did not hesitate and stepped into the Life Passage.

As soon as he entered, he could feel the strong Life Energy rushing towards him, as if it were penetrating his body through countless pores.

His internal organs and Extraordinary Meridians were all baptized by the Life Energy.

Xu Zimei had not felt this comfortable in a long time.

But he couldn’t indulge in the sensation, he rushed towards the end of the Life Passage.

The speed was very fast, the Death Flower at the other end grew more frantic, and the Old Tree was already half-corroded, turning pitch black.

The green light curtain reflected scenes of an Immortal Realm, and Xu Zimei dashed into it.

His figure plunged forward, and upon looking up, Xu Zimei found himself in a light-filled space.

Below his feet was a pellucid stream.

The stream reflected his image, as if there was another him standing underwater.

Standing on the water, he did not sink but instead felt the water as hard as stone.

In front of him was a Sky-reaching Great Tree, half-standing upright, the other half tilted to the ground.

The tree wasn’t as large as imagined, reaching about a hundred meters in height.

Xu Zimei stepped on the stream, sending ripples with each step as he walked towards the great tree.

Looking at the great tree, for some reason, he felt as if he wasn’t moving towards a tree but towards an era.

A relic of a bygone era stood before him, its ancient aura stirring the water.

Quiet,

Deathly quiet.

An oppressive silence.

Finally, what seemed like a short distance felt as if it consumed all of Xu Zimei’s energy to reach the tree.

He gently touched the tree, asking, “Have you died?”

“Is it an old friend?” a weak voice from the great tree came.

It wasn’t spoken with a mouth but was an exchange of minds.

“I don’t know you, but many of my memories no longer exist,” Xu Zimei said.

“I feel a familiar aura from you. We must have met,” the great tree responded.

“Have you come here for my inheritance?”

“Are you the Wood God, Ju Mang?” Xu Zimei, though confident in his heart, still confirmed.

“I am the last Tree Spirit of the Wood God, naturally, also a part of Ju Mang,” the great tree answered.

“I can pass on my inheritance to you, with just one request.”

“Speak,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Whether or not you become enemies with the other eight Ancient Gods in the future, do not kill them,” the Tree Spirit said.

“Give them a path to life.”

“I can’t,” Xu Zimei shook his head.

“If they don’t block my path, naturally, we have no grievances.

But if they do, anyone will become White Bone under my feet.”

“Your killing intent is too strong. One day it will lead you astray,” the Tree Spirit sighed.

“Did your life without killing end well?” Xu Zimei retorted.

The Tree Spirit was silent for a moment, then lamented, “Judging from what I’ve seen, you won’t follow the Life Path.

Giving you my inheritance might not be a good plan.

Th𝗂ѕ ₡h𝘢p𝖙℮r ɩ𝕤 pɵ𝗌ṯℯ𝒹 b𝖞 Ḱ𝑖ṯɛ𝘯𝙤𝗏ℯ𝗹

But since you are here, I have no choice.”

As his words fell, the stream beneath his feet began to boil.

Even the entire void was shaking, and the Tree Spirit sighed, “The Death Flower is about to break through, hurry.”

Its tree body started gathering Life Energy, countless leaves fluttering down.

Finally, three green orbs floated out.

The first orb landed before Xu Zimei and then poured into his forehead.

It was a Law Decree of the Way of Inquiry of trees.

The name was ‘The Blessing of the Tree God.’

This inherited Law Decree was extremely powerful, condensing tree seals, each seal could be considered a life.

It essentially meant it could allow multiple revivals.

The second green orb extinguished, revealing a small sapling.

“This is the Heaven-reaching Tree. If you nurture it with care, a new Tree God might appear,” Ju Mang jested with a laugh.

This Heaven-reaching Tree had the potential to become a Divine Spirit, but the process would be exceedingly arduous.

A slight misstep and it could lead to annihilation.

Xu Zimei slightly nodded and then turned to the third orb.

Contained within was not Life, but a black poison.

“The poison She Bish used to harm me back then, the Three Corpses Decay Poison,”

The Tree Spirit said, “Though scarce, this poison can kill even a Great Saint, directly decaying the Life and Death Soul.

Use it with caution!”

“So, you can kill too,” Xu Zimei smiled.

“I have never used it, but over the years, this poison has left me critically ill, and I finally managed to gather some,” the Tree Spirit explained.

“Alright, my time is also coming to an end. I’ll block this Death Flower for you, leave quickly.”

As the words of the Tree Spirit ended, indeed, the entire space trembled.
