At this time, behind the endless tree roots was a broken stump. It wasn’t high — only around three feet — but it seemed like a horrifying demon lord where all of the evil roots came from its body. The most frightening thing was that it had a pair of black eyes on its body.
When this wooden stump appeared, its terror didn’t stop there. It suddenly emitted an endless evil presence that soared through the sky.
“Boom—-”
At this time, the evil presence was absorbed by the wooden stump and turned into even more strings made out of the black aura. They merged with the evil roots and turned into the most terrifying of weapons that slashed constantly and sucked people’s blood dry when they wrapped onto someone.
“It finally came out even stronger than my expectations. On top of that, it became a whole stump and not just a main root.”
Li Qiye looked at the wooden stump around three feet long and murmured.
“The wooden stump of the Evil Typha Tree?”
Li Shuangyan was creeped out after seeing the wooden stump with the two black eyes. At this time, she understood why Li Qiye called it a ghastly being.
Meanwhile, a section of the evil roots was trapping and killing all of the cultivators while the other roots were frantically devouring the strings of blood from the dao platform.
“What, what are these things? Why are these evil things crazily sucking blood?”
The dao platform was still shooting out numerous strings of blood that not only pierced the cultivators’ bodies, but they also launched into the evil roots and got absorbed by them. Seeing this scene, Chen Baojiao was creeped out. It was as if the blood was evil.
“You guessed it, this is indeed evil blood.”
Li Qiye cheerfully smiled:
“The peerless, valuable blood of the Evil Typha Tree is shockingly scarce. This evil blood is the biggest temptation to the living tree roots and evil plants.”
“This is not a treasure of the gods, this is a trap!”
Chen Baojiao exclaimed with an astonished expression. She was not dumb and immediately understood the reasoning behind it.
Li Qiye glanced over at her and said:
“You aren’t too stupid. Who said there was a treasure of the gods here? This is a dao platform that is used to bait the surviving evil roots.”
“Ah…”
At this point, when the horrifying screech resonated, one cultivator after another died horrifically under the assault of the Evil Typha Root. It knew that Li Qiye was a powerful enemy, so it didn’t target him and only killed the other cultivators.
Having absorbed the precious evil blood along with the evil aura, the stump of the Evil Typha Tree was further strengthened! At this point, not to mention the other cultivators, but even Royal Nobles would be easily slaughtered.
“Mother, what kind of devil is this…”
The Flying Dragon Lake’s Demon Monarchs, along with other cultivators at the common area, saw this scene and were shivering with chills.
“Ah, this is the Evil Typha Tree in the legends. When it matures completely, all of us will die in this place without a doubt!”
The Turtle Monarch’s face became pale and he turned tail to run.
Seeing his escape, other cultivators immediately followed suit.
“Ah…”
Enlightened Being Si Tu screamed as an evil root pierced his chest and drained his blood dry in a flash. Even as he was dying, his eyes were wide open. He was unwilling to believe that this would be his end.
As for the group of Dao Child Shengtian and Heavenly Prince Qingxuan, they were flabbergasted. Despite Heavenly Prince Qingxuan’s peerless Emperor Merit Laws and with the help of Dao Child Shengtian and Grandpa Guan, they couldn’t escape the net woven by the evil roots.
As the roots of the Evil Typha Tree absorbed more energy, it became even stronger. A few times, Heavenly Prince Qingxuan’s group almost made it through, but they were forced back at the very last moment.
As his Royal Noble and Enlightened Being numbers decreased, Heavenly Prince Qingxuan’s face became extremely ugly. He made his decision, then he roared and shouted:
“Kill… ”
In the blink of an eye, he summoned an item that was floating on top of his head.
“Boom!”
Amidst the fire and thunder, when this item came out, the invincible Emperor aura turned into an Emperor light that swept through everything, slashing the countless evil roots from the sky and protecting the group of Heavenly Prince Qingxuan as they rushed out of the net.
“An Emperor’s Possession…”
Seeing the invincible aura of an Emperor, the group of Chen Baojiao lost their colors.
Yes, the item that Heavenly Prince Qingxuan summoned was an Emperor’s Possession in the form of a ring. Even though its power was limited in usage, it could protect them as they made their way out of the entrapment without an issues.
“You want to escape? It won’t be that easy.”
Li Qiye smiled with the Invisible Dual Blades in his hands.
“Zhengggg—”
Suddenly, the two blades shattered as Li Qiye uttered
