Chapter 410 Certain Death

Amidst the continuous explosions, Ling Yi emerged from the epicenter but instead of heading outwards, ventured deeper into the towering forest.

...

Outside the towering forest, Bai Qingjue sat outside the carriage, watching the large number of divine descendants hurrying past in mid-air, his gaze darkening.

It's normal for there to be people of divine lineage here, but it's not normal for there to be so many.

Thinking of the demonic aura emanating from Ling Zhou, Bai Qingjue felt a sense of unease.

If something happens to Ruoling, he won't be able to explain it to Tianyan.

Bai Qingjue was worried, but Bai Jiu and Lin Chengtian were both cultivating and needed someone to watch over them, so he couldn't leave to check on them.

Just as Bai Qingjue was worried, a surge of spiritual energy appeared around her. Bai Qingjue's eyes darkened as she looked at the place where the energy fluctuation was strongest. As soon as she looked over, she saw a crack appear out of thin air, and Ye Qingshuang walked out from inside.

After Ye Qingshuang emerged, the crack quickly disappeared, but Bai Qingjue still managed to see the figure inside...

Bai Qingjue looked at Ye Qingshuang who had returned and asked, "Where's Ling Yi? Why are you alone?"

Ye Qingshuang nimbly boarded the carriage: "A large number of divine descendants have arrived here. It's not safe here. Let's leave first and talk on the way."

"Okay." Bai Qingjue returned to the carriage, which quickly drove away.

Inside the carriage, Ye Qingshuang told Bai Qingjue what had happened in the Towering Forest. After she finished speaking, Ye Qingshuang asked Bai Qingjue, "Are you aware that the Divine Descendants are looking for the Blood Tree?"

Bai Qingjue shook her head: "There is no place for me in the Divine Descendants' Power Center."

"Huh?" Ye Qingshuang was a little surprised: "You're not..."

“It is precisely because of that identity that she has no position.” Before Ye Qingshuang could finish speaking, Bai Qingjue interrupted her.

Ye Qingshuang remained silent after listening.

After a while, Ye Qingshuang finally spoke: "Then do you know about the collusion between the Divine Descendants and the Origin Clan?"

“The Yuan Clan’s influence has been infiltrating since the time of the gods. Whether you know it or not doesn’t change anything.” After Bai Qingjue finished speaking, before Ye Qingshuang could ask any more questions, he asked, “Almost all the descendants of the gods have come here. Are you sure Ling Yi is alright?”

Ye Qingshuang said, "Ling Yi is strong on his own, and with the complete set of defensive magic artifacts, there's no problem."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingjue also remembered Ling Yi's defensive magical artifacts, which were forged by Tianyan. Items forged by Tianyan were always of extremely high quality, so Bai Qingjue felt slightly relieved: "Shall we wait now?"

Ye Qingshuang sighed: "There's no other way but to wait for Ling Yi to come back."

The two exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

On the other side, Ling Yi left the explosion site and followed the wood spirit energy to find the earth wood spirit source. However, the earth wood spirit source was hidden very deep, perhaps because it was afraid of the blood tree.

In the past, Ling Yi would have used his power to force it out, but the commotion at the explosion site would inevitably attract many people. Although this place was a bit far away, it would still be discovered if the commotion was too great. Ling Yi could only use other methods to lure the Earth Wood Spirit Source away and finally take it down in a deserted place.

After obtaining the Earth Wood Spirit Source, Ling Yi did not rush to absorb it, but instead bypassed the explosion site to find Ye Qingshuang and the others.

Although the carriage had changed locations, both Xiao Jinhu and Lin Chengtian were there, so Ling Yi found them without much effort.

After chatting with Bai Qingjue, Ye Qingshuang sat outside waiting for Ling Yi. When she saw someone approaching, Ye Qingshuang immediately became alert. When the person got closer and she recognized him as Ling Yi, Ye Qingshuang immediately relaxed, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards Ling Yi.

"You're finally back." Ye Qingshuang stopped in front of Ling Yi, carefully looking him over from head to toe, and only relaxed after confirming that Ling Yi wasn't seriously injured: "Why did it take so long? Did you encounter a descendant of a god?"

"I didn't encounter it." After Ling Yi answered, she told Ye Qingshuang about her search for the Earth Wood Spirit Source after the explosion.

"You left when the explosion happened, so the divine descendants who stayed behind also suffered from the explosion?" Ye Qingshuang clapped her hands: "That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi looked up at her and asked, "How would you like it?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "Putting aside the fact that the descendants of the gods are inherently annoying, just the fact that I called your name in front of them means I can't let them live."

If the divine descendants there were allowed to survive and learn that it was Ling Yi who resolved the Blood Tree issue, they would inevitably become interested in Ling Yi.

Ling Yi is not yet ready to confront the descendants of the gods; once those people are dead, no one will know.

After hearing what Ye Qingshuang said, Ling Yi pursed her lips and remained silent. She had taken this into consideration when she stopped them: "Don't worry, they won't survive."

Seeing Ling Yi's certainty, Ye Qingshuang was about to ask why when she suddenly noticed that Ling Yi's clothes had changed; they were no longer the star-blue outfit he wore before. Her expression immediately turned serious: "The defensive magic artifact is broken?"

“Hmm.” Ling Yi responded, “Ji Yanzhi told me before that the entire Starry Sky set could withstand a blow from a true god, but the clothes were destroyed in the explosion.”

"Doesn't that prove that the power of the Blood Tree's self-destruction is equal to the blow of a true god?" Ye Qingshuang was shocked and looked at Ling Yi: "Luckily you have a magic weapon to protect you."

A strike from a true god is no joke, no wonder Ling Yi was so sure those divine descendants wouldn't survive.

The descendants of the gods certainly possess magical artifacts capable of defending against attacks from true gods, but they wouldn't use them on the elders and disciples, so they are doomed to die.

After confirming that those divine descendants were doomed, Ye Qingshuang thought of the Blood Tree.

Although the power of the Blood Tree's self-destruction is only equivalent to a True God's strike, and not as strong as a True God, it is still... it is just a tree of the Origin Clan, not a person of the Origin Clan. If it were a person of the Origin Clan, how powerful would it be?

Seeing Ye Qingshuang frowning and remaining silent, Ling Yi asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the Origin Clan," Ye Qingshuang said. "I'm wondering why they're still interested in us when they're already so powerful."

“There’s something to gain in order to be interested.” Ling said as he got into the carriage. “We haven’t really clashed with them yet, so there’s no need to think too much. Let’s go.”

Hearing Ling Yi say this, Ye Qingshuang got into the carriage and asked, "Where to?"

"The Taiyuan Secret Realm is not closed yet, but we have found all the spiritual sources that Qingniao mentioned. We will find another place to absorb spiritual sources and cultivate."

"Row."

As the two were talking, the carriage flew away from the towering forest and stopped in a place quite far away.

After moving to a new location, Ling Yi immediately began absorbing the Earth Wood Spiritual Source. Because the restrictions in the secret realm had been lifted, Ling Yi absorbed the spiritual source with ease, and soon he had absorbed it all.

After absorbing the Earth Wood Spirit Source, Ling Yi now possesses four Earth Transformation Spirit Roots: Earth Water, which he found first; Earth Ice, which he seized from the snow mountain; Earth Fire, which he obtained from that demon; and finally, Earth Wood.

Previously, Ling Yi obtained the Different Spirit Source from Sheng Wei in the outside world. However, the Earth Spirit Source is of a higher level than the Different Spirit Source and will absorb and cover the changes brought about by the lower-level spirit source. Therefore, even if the other three spiritual roots have not absorbed the Different Spirit Source, the effect of the changes after absorbing the Earth Spirit Source is the same as that of the Ice Spirit Root, which has absorbed both the Different Spirit Source and the Earth Spirit Source.
