Black shadows with evil eyes looked at the four of them with malevolent expressions.
Their bodies were as thin as sheets of paper.
Qin Yuerou felt despair. She had to expend a lot of energy to kill one shadow, let alone a hundred of them.
"Swoosh!"
The black shadows in front of them charged at Ye Xingchen and the others.
The shadows didn't have any energy waves. They were like paintings as they charged at them.
"Brother Jun, protect Ye Nan. Leave these evil beings to me." Ye Xingchen took a step forward.
Jun Changsheng smiled and nodded.
Ye Nan wasn't afraid. Instead, he looked at the shadows curiously.
Qin Yuerou said worriedly, "Brother Ye, can you do it alone?"
There were more than a hundred evil beings, and every one of them was extremely terrifying.
Just now, when Qin Yuerou was fighting with a demonic being, although she felt that it did not have any energy undulations, it was able to devour her True Power. If it were not for her quick wit and her incomparably powerful sword qi cutting off the shadow, she would have most likely been eaten by the shadow.
Yes, eaten.
The shadows didn't have any means of attack. When their energy attacks hit them, they were either devoured, or their bodies dissipated and reformed.
Qin Yuerou could feel the desire in the shadow's eyes as it looked at her. It wanted to eat her up.
"Don't worry."
Ye Xingchen had already used his Destiny Eye to see through the black shadows.
He had a way to deal with them.
"Eternal World Tree!"
Ye Xingchen visualized the World Tree. A huge virtual image of the World Tree appeared in the ruins. The huge virtual image of the World Tree only had about twenty leaves. They were vivid and lifelike, and they condensed into reality.
"Whoosh!"
The World Tree appeared. Its branches and leaves swayed. The evil beings were drawn over and absorbed by the World Tree.
The World Tree absorbed more than a hundred evil beings. A few more leaves condensed into reality.
Jun Changsheng looked at the virtual image of the World Tree. His eyes moved slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"How could it be so … simple?" Qin Yuerou looked at it in a daze. She almost couldn't think.
The Shadow Evil Being that had left her helpless and almost killed had actually been dealt with so easily?
Jun Changsheng saw through her confusion and explained, "In this world, everything has its nemesis. There is no absolute invincible evil that cannot be dealt with. As long as the right medicine is applied, everything can be easily solved."
"Brother Ye's psychic secret technique happens to be able to restrain those shadow evil beings."
Ye Xingchen could see through the shadows of these evil beings. They were a combination of demonic qi and the earth qi of the ninth layer, as well as resentment, giving birth to a kind of evil being. In truth, in the end, it was still a kind of spiritual qi. It was just that this kind of unique spiritual qi could not be absorbed by martial artists.
In other words, if a martial artist were to absorb it, their body would be occupied by it.
Ye Xingchen cultivated the Eternal Heaven Codex, and the illusory projection of the World Tree, which required devouring the power of the various heavens to grow.
"Come on, let's continue forward," Ye Xingchen said.
Qin Yuerou didn't leave Ye Xingchen and the others. Instead, she followed them into the depths of the ruins.
The deeper they went into the ruins, the more shadow evil beings they encountered.
Ye Xingchen visualized the World Tree and absorbed those shadow evil beings, causing the World Tree to become even more condensed. It had already condensed more than fifty leaves.
Ye Xingchen was pleasantly surprised. The World Tree needed a lot of unique spiritual qi to grow. Ever since he cultivated the Eternal Heaven Codex, he had spent a lot of effort to condense a dozen or so leaves. He didn't expect that in the Eternity Emperor's Ruins, he would suddenly condense thirty leaves.
"Run, run …"
On the other side of the ruins, some martial artists panicked. They didn't expect that there would be such terrifying evil beings in the ruins. They couldn't be killed or destroyed.
If they were possessed by evil beings, they would be controlled and their bodies would be occupied by them.
"What should I do?
Do I have to use the trump card my father gave me? "Qin Zhen frantically ran through the ruins, avoiding the shadow evil beings chasing after him.
He encountered a shadow evil being and used many methods to kill one. However, before he could rejoice, a dozen more shadow evil beings appeared, scaring him into fleeing.
"Sister Yuerou, Ye Xingchen, and Jun Changsheng are in front. They can be saved." Qin Zhen hastily took out a Divine Traversing Talisman and stuck it on his leg. He quickly rushed forward.
"Qin Zhen, are you alright?" Qin Yuerou asked when she saw Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen said, "Let's go quickly. There are a dozen shadow evil beings chasing after me."
"Shadow evil beings!" Ye Xingchen became happy.
Qin Zhen was puzzled. Shadow evil beings were so hard to deal with. Even if Ye Xingchen was strong and could kill one, two, or five of them, could he kill a dozen of them?
Swish!
Those shadow evil beings rushed over. Qin Zhen was nervous, but in the next moment, he saw a shocking scene.
He saw an incomparably huge ancient tree appear. Those shadow evil beings were like snow meeting the sun. They all pounced on the ancient tree and disappeared.
"Let's go to the next place to clean up the shadow evil beings."
Ye Xingchen was somewhat addicted. These shadow evil beings could provide him with energy to condense the World Tree.
"It's … it's over?!" Qin Zhen was stupefied. Killing the shadow evil beings was so simple?
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He respectfully went in front of Ye Xingchen and bowed. "Brother Ye, I have offended you in the past. Please forgive me."
At this moment, Qin Zhen was filled with admiration for Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen waved his hand. He and Qin Zhen didn't have any conflicts, so naturally, there was no need to talk about forgiveness.
The five of them walked into the depths of the ruins. On one side, they looked for the shadow evil beings, while on the other, they looked for the pool that the village chief had mentioned.
During this time, many shadow evil beings discovered them and rushed over. In the end, they all became nutrients for the World Tree.
At that moment, more than a hundred leaves had formed on the World Tree. Each leaf was very different. Some leaves were like jade, some were like red agate, some were as red as blood, some were as clear as jade, and some were as black as ink.
The World Tree was growing. Ye Xingchen's mental state had also broken through to True Realm Level 3.
A True Realm Level 3 mental state was comparable to a Greater Celestial pinnacle martial artist.
In other words, Ye Xingchen could rely on his mental state to fight against a Greater Celestial pinnacle martial artist.
If he added in his physical strength and True Power cultivation, even a Second Nirvana Realm martial artist would be crushed by him.
If he used his Black Dragon Halberd and two flying swords, even a Nirvana Realm martial artist would be chased around the mountain.
As Ye Xingchen walked with them, he used his mental state to observe the World Tree.
When the World Tree condensed more than a hundred leaves, Ye Xingchen suddenly received a message from the World Tree.
On the leaf of the World Tree, there was actually a drop of dew.
Furthermore, the dewdrops on each leaf were different. For example, on the crimson leaf, there was a crimson blood dewdrop; on the dark green leaf, there was a dark green dewdrop; on the golden leaf, there was a golden dewdrop.
The message from the World Tree was that the dew was called Heavenly Dew.
