I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

The toughness of this tree is unimaginable, even surpassing a Tier Three High-grade Treasure.

And just as the body of the Yinghuai Great Demon merged into the ancient golden tree, the entire tree seemed to come alive.

”Boom!”

The earth shook, dust filled the air, and golden Dao Charm flowed continuously. This thousand-zhang ancient tree suddenly transformed, becoming a golden armored soldier, complete with hands and feet, with eyes like lakes, radiating dazzling golden light, looking indestructible.

And the face of the armored soldier was actually the old face of the Yinghuai Great Demon!

Above the head of the armored soldier, six large golden leaves floated, with three of them swirling with countless Dao Charm, full of profound mysterious aura, while the other three were blank, without any anomaly.

”To have forced out my Six Ding Divine Wood, you must be quite capable!”

Having merged with the ancient wood and transformed into the Six Ding Divine Soldier, the confidence of the Yinghuai Great Demon surged, and his voice boomed like thunder.

The Six Ding Divine Wood was a spirit seed from a Tier Four ancient wood he had obtained in his youth by chance.

If this wood could survive, it would bear six ”Divine Leaves,” each containing a Tier Four Daoist Technique. By refining these leaves, a cultivator would gain six Tier Four Seals, dramatically enhancing their power and granting them profound mysterious strength.

However, unfortunately, when he acquired this wood, it had already been stored for an unknown number of years, its spiritual nature faded to the extreme, with no possibility of regrowing or re-sprouting.

Moreover, even if it survived, it would take thousands of years to mature and bear six ”Divine Leaves.”

So he took a different path, spending countless spiritual materials to ultimately refine this spirit seed into a special ”Transformation Treasure.”

By simply reciting a spell, he could activate the spirit seed, allowing it to temporarily grow into the ”Six Ding Divine Wood.”

This wood is indestructible, possessing the resilience of Tier Four Spirit Wood. Within the Golden Core Stage, it is no exaggeration to say it is impervious to all techniques.

Not only that, but after being nurtured with countless spiritual materials, the wood also condensed three ”Divine Leaves.”

Although not as powerful as Tier Four Techniques, it wields innate Divine Power with formidable might.

In the past, he was able to slash a late-stage Golden Core Sword Cultivator and refine them into a Yinhuai Puppet, all thanks to this wood!

He roamed the East Mountain Realm for a thousand years without dying. How could he not have any trump cards?

”Kid, no matter who you are, you’re not worthy of trying to keep me here!”

Having merged his true form into the Six Ding Divine Wood, the Yinghuai Great Demon’s confidence soared, and thoughts of escape faded slightly as he shouted angrily, seemingly venting his previous frustrations.

”Boom!”

Along with his roar, a golden hand reached into the floating clouds, abruptly grasping towards Gu Yuan.

Above his head, a large golden leaf also suddenly lit up, flowing with Dao Charm, and then within the Yinghuai Great Demon’s golden hand, a mass of golden flame suddenly blazed, with the sound of wailing souls seemingly echoing within.

Soul-Burning Golden Flame!

This is a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Flame, best at burning souls, now perfectly matching the boundless power of his Six Ding Armored Soldier.

”Tier Four Spirit Wood?”

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan stood in the celestial vault, slightly sighing.

It’s no wonder a Tier Three Late Stage Great Demon dared to ambush him.

Indeed, it had some tricks up its sleeve.

Obtaining a spirit seed like Tier Four Spirit Wood gave rise to some ripples in what should have been an easy battle.

However, it was merely a ripple.

The foundation accumulated from years of cultivation erupted in the late stage of the Golden Core.

His current Gold-Attribute Magical Power amounted to 2,800 threads, equivalent to 8,100 threads for ordinary cultivators, coupled with an anomaly of nearly two thousand zhang and mastery over a thousand-li Spirit Qi.

With such Spirit Qi blessing together, how could his current Mana be limited to a mere ten thousand threads?

This was an unimaginable force.

As the art of war says, use orthodoxy to engage and surprise to win.

His greatest trump card was not various strange seals but this boundless and continuous Mana.

The Tier Four Spirit Wood seemed resilient and impervious to all techniques, yet it only possessed defense, without the Daoist Embryo’s power to attack, how could it win against him?

”Rise!”

Gu Yuan shrugged his shoulder, lightly shouted, and surging Mana was immediately poured into a misty white jade seal.

Little Innate Essence Qi Seizing Seal!

This was the Dharma Path Hand Seal Gu Yuan created with the ”Mountain-moving Spirit Seal” as its core.

The deeper the Mana, the more ferocious this seal’s power.

And at this moment, in the Golden Core First Realm, who could claim their Mana surpassed his?!

”Boom!”

Behind Gu Yuan, an immense expanse of misty Qi exploded open, subsequently condensing into a distinctly outlined, slender, and powerful hand from the misty Qi.

This hand, upon its emergence, overshadowed the sky, reaching nearly a thousand zhang in size.

As Gu Yuan infused Mana into it, the giant hand expanded rapidly at an alarming speed, seemingly intending to span the celestial vault, grasping the Great Sun overhead in its palm.

Not only that, behind Gu Yuan, thunder mist rolled, and a Thunder Giant with indistinct features but a stern and majestic demeanor quietly condensed.

The Spirit of the Great Thunder Elemental Celestial Capital.

With the anomaly appearing, countless surging thunder glows suddenly emerged on the already immense hand. Between the closing fingers, hundreds of Thunder Flood Dragons seemed to coil around.

The nearly three-thousand-zhang giant hand descended from the celestial vault, meeting the golden armored soldier’s golden hand blazing with the Soul-Burning Golden Flame head-on.

”Bang!”

It was like a sturdy man over ten feet tall facing a one-foot infant.

In just one encounter, the golden flame was shredded by thunder, and the originally ”vast” golden hand was pushed back by a mighty force directly.

Moreover, under the grip of the giant hand, the thousand-zhang ancient golden tree was grasped firmly.

”Rise!”

Gu Yuan, just a few feet tall, stood in the celestial vault, completely overshadowed by the giant hand like an ant, but at the moment he spoke, heaven and earth trembled.

”Boom!”

A massive and unimaginably mighty force surged from the giant hand, as if the entire world within two thousand li tilted. The golden giant tree rooted in the earth for who knows how many zhang was forcibly uprooted under this might!

”No!”

Within the giant tree came the panicked cries of the Yinghuai Great Demon, as the other two golden leaves atop his head immediately lit up, pouring out surging Yin Qi, like chains and axes, struck towards the giant hand.

But the giant hand seemed like a mountain rock-poured construct with an unending sense of heaviness from the misty Qi, ignoring all techniques, forcibly uprooting the giant tree.

Moreover, within the giant hand, the ever-flowing misty Qi locked all Spirit Qi within the palm, preventing any escape.

The Little Innate Essence Qi Seizing Seal not only possessed vast power but also extreme power of imprisonment.

Once caught, all Spirit Qi was tightly suppressed, unable to escape an inch.

The ”Six Ding Divine Wood” was a treasure of transformed technique and not a truly grown divine wood; now, having lost its Spirit Qi, it dimmed rapidly, quickly shriveling back into a spirit seed.

The Yinghuai Great Demon also immediately revealed his true form.

His face full of panic, he wanted to flee, but the giant hand spanned the celestial dome, sealing off the world. The overwhelming might came like a mountain, rendering him like a fish on a chopping block, immobile.

”Spare me!”

”Spare me!”

”I’m willing to hand over the spell for the Six Ding Divine Wood, which is the embryonic material of a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure. I also have countless Secret Treasures hidden in my Cave Mansion, willing to offer them to you, Fellow Daoist, spare me! Spare me!”

Boundless fear surged from his heart.

The Yinghuai Great Demon never imagined that even using his trump card, he still couldn’t last a single round, not even managing to escape.

The person before him was too terrifying!

He lifted his head, trying to plead, but under the overwhelming might, he was suppressed like an ant, not even glimpsing a hem of the person’s robe above the celestial dome.

”Rest assured, I’ll take any treasure myself!”

Just at this moment, a light chuckle came from above the celestial dome.

Then a coldly shining divine light and a bug shadow with six wings, half-golden and half-green, both arrived, crashing into the Yinghuai Great Demon’s brow.

”Bang!”

The mind of the Yinghuai Great Demon scattered instantly, plunging his sight into eternal darkness.

The heavens and earth churned, countless Spirit Qi gradually calming.

But a Tier Three Great Demon, who had reigned for a thousand years, completely fell.
