After wandering around the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range for half a month, even going deep into the territory of the Four-star fierce beasts, the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood finally appeared in front of Xiao Chen again.
This time, there were no other tribes in the Desolate Border Region involved, and there were no survivors of the foreign races who secretly attacked.
The Spiritual Wood was a kind of spiritual medicine. It was not just an ancient wood that had lived for tens of thousands of years to become a Spiritual Wood. It required a specific opportunity.
Otherwise, the Desolate Land had existed for countless eras and there were countless dangerous places. There were ancient trees that were tens of thousands of years old, or even millions of years old. However, these ancient trees could only be said to have lived for a long time. They did not have much spirituality, let alone become a Spiritual Wood.
Although the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Wood could not be compared to the ten thousand years old spiritual medicine, it was still very precious. If it could be subdued, it would definitely become the foundation of the tribe.
Who would have thought that the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Tree would actually use the earth vein to hide itself a hundred thousand miles away. The battleship was in the sky, and it only took a moment to travel a hundred miles. The void battleship stopped in mid-air, three miles away from the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Tree.
At this moment, the three miles around the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood was still covered with thunderclouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Looking at the place where the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood was, it had to be said that the Thunder Calamity Spiritual Wood loved thunder and lightning. This valley was actually a rare natural thunder area. Lightning would fall from time to time, and the whole valley was filled with a destructive aura.
Xiao Chen did not make a move immediately. He waited, waiting for the silver lightning to weaken. Just like that, he waited for two days. Fortunately, thunderclouds covered this place, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. No other ferocious beasts came.
Swoosh!
Taking a step forward, Xiao Chen's figure had already stepped into the lightning that filled the sky. Countless silver snakes danced chaotically. Many tiny silver lightning bolts struck Xiao Chen's body unceasingly. His body was emitting a dense golden light.
The tiny lightning constantly hit his body, bringing a slight numbing feeling. Not only was it immediately refined by Xiao Chen's powerful Battle Qi, it became the power to temper his body.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just like that, Xiao Chen didn't fear the descending lightning in the slightest. He walked step by step until he was ten feet away from the spirit tree. Perhaps because it felt threatened, the spirit tree's branches surged, transforming into a purple-gold heavenly whip that was covered in dense lightning, lashing towards Xiao Chen.
Instantly, a golden light burst out from Xiao Chen's body. Boundless mysteries appeared, and the threat that the purple-gold leaves brought vanished in the blink of an eye.
Crackle!
Xiao Chen's actions seemed to cause the Spirit Tree to feel a sense of danger. Ever since it had appeared, there had never been a martial artist who had been able to approach it like this, much less fear the threat of thunder and lightning. Instantly, the entire Spirit Tree trembled. Dozens of purple gold jade-like branches came crashing down, filled with the shadows of thunder.
However, Xiao Chen's speed was faster than it. His entire figure turned into a stream of light. Before the purple gold crystal branches fell, he had already arrived in front of the Spirit Tree. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the trunk of the Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree.
The trunk of the Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree was as thick as a person's arm. The purple trunk was covered with dense golden threads. The mottled bark was crystal clear, and the entire Spirit Tree exuded a mysterious aura.
This was a kind of destructive aura of thunder and lightning, mixed with the endless vitality of the Spirit Tree. Vitality and destruction blended together.
The Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree was intelligent for ten thousand years. After that, it would go through a Thunder Calamity every thousand years. Every time it went through a Thunder Calamity, there would be a circle of golden circular patterns on its trunk. Xiao Chen saw a total of four circular patterns on its trunk, which proved that this Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree was fourteen thousand years old.
However, because of this, the number of Lightning Spirit Leaves on the Spiritual Wood was somewhat insufficient. Other than the few Lightning Spirit Leaves that were taken by the human martial artists a few days ago, there were only a hundred and six Lightning Spirit Leaves on the Spiritual Wood. The number of Lightning Spirit Leaves on the Spiritual Wood was somewhat insufficient compared to the age of the Spiritual Wood. It seemed that the number of times this Spiritual Wood had been besieged by the human martial artists over the long years was even more than expected.
The Thunder Calamity Spirit Leaf could only grow one in a hundred years. It could refine the body, and it had immeasurable benefits for Heaven Calamity Spirit Warriors. After all, the stronger the body, the easier it would be to pass the Thunder Calamity.
Rumble!
Just as Xiao Chen's palm imprinted on the trunk, the entire Spirit Tree trembled, and the entire valley trembled. Bolts of lightning appeared on the trunk like silver snakes. Endless thunder and lightning raged, evolving into many strange phenomena. All of them followed along his arm and fell down towards Xiao Chen.
Boom!
However, Xiao Chen's body didn't move at all. The battle bones in his body emitted a dazzling golden light, and endless golden profound runes appeared in the depths of his bone marrow. They devoured all the thunder and lightning that entered his body and integrated it into his blood bones.
"Break!"
Suddenly, streaks of blue Battle Qi appeared on Xiao Chen's body, mixed with a trace of pitch-black profoundness, and directly entered the body of the Spirit Tree. This was the combination of Xiao Chen's Slaughter Intent and Battle Qi. He learned this move from the ghost flames emitted by Scarlet Flame Ghost Lord. It was just that he hadn't perfected it yet.
However, it was enough to deal with this Spirit Tree. The rich Slaughter Intent, along with Xiao Chen's Battle Qi, completely suppressed the spirit tree. The violent killing intent destroyed the endless thunder and lightning as if it was crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. It was even destroying the Spirit Tree's intelligence.
Whoosh!
The Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree suddenly shook violently, and it couldn't help but tremble. Under Xiao Chen's powerful mental perception, he could faintly feel a vague spirituality coming from the Spirit Tree. It had submitted to him and was transmitted into his mind.
The Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree had gone through the tribulation for ten thousand years, and it had developed spirituality. It could be said that it was like a human, with a soul, a consciousness, and it could distinguish danger. It felt the aura that erupted from Xiao Chen, and it actually wanted to destroy it.
And this was exactly what Xiao Chen was thinking. If the Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree didn't submit, he would completely destroy the spirituality that it had derived. Although this would cause a certain amount of damage to the Spirit Tree, as long as he brought the Spirit Tree back to the tribe, there would be enough time for this Spirit Tree to develop a new spirituality. However, if the Spirit Tree submitted, of course, it would be best.
In a moment, after a short period of time, Xiao Chen completely subdued the spirituality of the Spirit Tree. Although the Spirit Tree had been stored for ten thousand years, its spirituality was only equivalent to that of a human child who was less than ten years old.
Rumble!
In the next moment, the entire sky was filled with thunder shadows exploding, and there were even silver lightning dragons hidden in the thick cumulus clouds. The Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree constantly trembled and emitted a purple-gold brilliance. The countless thunder shadows in the entire sky suddenly seemed to have found a vent, and they fell towards the Spirit Tree.
In a moment, the sky became clear, and the thunder and lightning in the sky were all absorbed by the Spirit Tree. Suddenly, the entire Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree was uprooted, and it became smaller and smaller in Xiao Chen's eyes. With a jump, it fell into his Zhou Tian's Sea of Qi.
The boundless Sea of Qi and the blue Battle Qi were like an ocean. The moment the Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree fell into the Sea of Qi, the entire Sea of Qi roared with shocking waves. The Spirit Tree's huge purple-gold roots were rooted at the edge of the Sea of Qi, and it let the Qi waves surge.
After a moment, Xiao Chen returned to the void battleship. It had taken two months, but the Thunder Calamity Spirit Tree had finally returned to Hua Yuan. It was all worth it.
"Return to the tribe!"
Rumble!
As the battleship tore through the sky, streaks of white light filled the sky. This was the condensed Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the depths of the void. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged at the bow of the battleship. Even though the winds were biting cold, a milky-white Yuan Qi vortex still condensed above his head.
In just one day, the void battleship had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles of wasteland and returned to the tribe. Everyone was overjoyed as they gazed at the mountain city surrounded by mountains and shrouded in purple-gold mist.
While the Gu Yuan Tribe's martialists were cheering for the return of their patriarch, the Iron Hoof Battalion hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Gu Yuan Tribe was gloomy.
At this moment, four obscure auras appeared in the massive Iron Hoof Palace. These were the four strongest martialists in the entire Iron Hoof Battalion. Besides the Iron Hoof First Elder, the other two were the two Grand Elders of the Iron Hoof Battalion.
In the past, these two Grand Elders had been guarding the Blood Race's Void Road. Today, something major had happened in the tribe, so they had rushed back.
In the great hall, the patriarch of the Iron Hoof Tribe, Qin Peiyong, looked increasingly unsightly. He wasn't the only one. The other three people in the great hall also looked worried.
All of this was because of the news that had spread throughout the Great Wilderness. The Gu Yuan Tribe had a heaven-grade battleship, had killed a Venerable Ghost Lord, and Xiao Chen had a chance of becoming a Venerable.
The conflict between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Iron Hoof Battalion had been caused by that incident several years ago. Later, Xiao Chen had wreaked havoc in the Iron Hoof City and forced the patriarch of the Iron Hoof Tribe to admit defeat.
In the eyes of the other people in the Great Wilderness, that incident had already passed. However, the friction between the Iron Hoof Battalion and the Gu Yuan Tribe had increased over the years. Due to the Gu Yuan Tribe's strength, the Iron Hoof Battalion had no choice but to swallow their anger and wait for an opportunity in secret.
However, he hadn't expected that the Gu Yuan Tribe's current strength would already be beyond his ability to resist. A mere low-grade combat division had actually surpassed a mid-grade combat division in just a few years and reached a level comparable to an upper-grade combat division. If he were to make an enemy of the Gu Yuan Tribe, he would be courting death.
Now, not to mention seeking trouble for the Gu Yuan Tribe, if Xiao Chen charged into Iron Hoof City again, they would not be able to resist at all. Xiao Chen would not even need to mobilize that Void Warship. Just his strength alone would be sufficient to destroy their Iron Hoof Battalion.
Under such a threat, he did not dare to gamble on whether Xiao Chen would kill his way to the Iron Hoof Tribe again. If that was the case, his position as the Iron Hoof Tribe's Tribe Chief would come to an end. Even if Xiao Chen did not do this, if he attacked in secret, he would not be able to resist at all.
"Xiao Chen!"
The patriarch of the Iron Hoof Tribe murmured. His gaze was a little sluggish. This name brought him endless pressure. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Elders, do you have any plans?"
"Patriarch, it seems that the Iron Hoof Battalion can only apologize. I hope that Xiao Chen won't be so decisive."
Hearing this, the patriarch of the Iron Hoof Tribe was startled at first. Then, a desolate expression appeared on his face. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a few years. A faintly discernible voice rang out in the hall.
"Alright!
I will personally go to the Gu Yuan Tribe. "
