"Earth Core Flame?" Qin Shi furrowed his brows.
The vines swayed as the Pregnant Tree's sharp laughter rang out, "Of course. This Earth Core Flame has the effect of melting metal and splitting oceans. It is a rare treasure on the Wasteland Continent, and you actually want to destroy it. Do you think I'm right to stop you?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Shi shook his head, "I don't care what effect it has. If I don't destroy it, I won't be able to stop this volcano, and if I can't stop it, I won't be able to save Sister Yu. Compared to Sister Yu, nothing else is important."
Hearing this, the Pregnant Tree was stunned, and could not help but laugh in anger at Qin Shi, "Hah, you little brat, don't tell me you can't change your mind?"
"Flexible?"
"Nonsense!"
The Pregnant Tree scolded, "The Bejewelled Lava Volcano has become much more stable now. With your strength, you can endure the temperature here. As long as you take out the Explosive Flame Bead and seal it with its barrier, won't you be able to bring the Earth Core Flame out?
Moreover, if the Explosive Flame Bead seals the Earth Core Flame, won't the volcano collapse on its own? "
"You can do that?" Qin Shi clicked his tongue. His mind had been filled with Sister Yu before, so he really hadn't thought of this method.
"Ai, I can see it now. You stinking brat, your brain is filled with beauties every day. Can't you grow up a bit?"
The Pregnant Tree shook her head helplessly, then curled her lips, "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and seal the Earth Core Flame. Are you going to wait for it to recover?"
Being scolded by the Pregnant Tree, Qin Shi was extremely displeased. However, he didn't show it. After all, the Pregnant Tree was indeed helping him.
Because of this, he waved his hand and the barrier of the Explosive Flame Bead disappeared. Only then did he approach the Earth Core Flame and use his spiritual energy as a medium to summon the Explosive Flame Bead.
Boom!
Sure enough, when the Explosive Flame Bead came into contact with the Earth's Core Flame, the two of them immediately produced a strong resistance. However, the Earth's Core Flame had previously been heavily injured. Under the pressure of the Explosive Flame Bead, it was quickly defeated and was sealed by layers of Explosive Flame barriers.
Rumble!
The instant the Earth Heart Flame was sealed, the entire volcano began to shake violently.
The tomb began to collapse.
The Divine Pregnant Tree was startled and immediately bound Qin Shi, saying anxiously, "Brat, hold on tight. The Earth Heart Flame has been sealed, and the energy here is starting to go out of control. The Bejewelled Lava Volcano is about to undergo its final eruption!"
Xiu!
Then, without giving Qin Shi a chance to respond, the hundreds of vines quickly retracted and moved toward the dazzling palace 300,000 meters away.
As soon as Qin Shi was dragged into the palace, he heard a violent explosion coming from outside.
Boom!
The interior of the Bejewelled Magma Volcano began to tremble violently from a depth of five hundred thousand meters. Endless magma erupted from the volcano's crater like an enraged beast.
If it weren't for the protection of the Fiendish Demon's Baleful Qi outside the palace, which swallowed the strong impact force, the palace would have long been reduced to ashes.
"Phew, that was close."
Feeling the surging energy outside the palace, Qin Shi patted his chest with some lingering fear.
"Hehe, I didn't think that even a brat like you would know fear." The Divine Pregnant Tree smirked.
He couldn't be bothered with the Divine Pregnant Tree. No matter what, everything had gone smoothly up to this point. The only thing left was to get rid of the Baleful Qi outside the palace and help Jade In The Book obtain the Divine Pregnant Tree's Fruit and heal her injuries.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi couldn't help but clench his fists and excitedly put them on the Burning Book. "Sister Yu, do you see this?
It's been three years, and we've finally succeeded. Your injuries will be healed soon. "
Unexpectedly, Jade In The Book didn't respond to Qin Shi even after a long time.
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. All these years, unless Jade In The Book was unconscious, she wouldn't ignore his words.
He shouted again in shock, "Sister Yu!
What's wrong? "
However, there was still no response.
This time, Qin Shi completely panicked. He took down the Book of Incineration from his waist. Only then did he realize that the Book of Incineration was abnormally dim. It no longer had the luster of the past.
"Sister Yu!
Don't scare me, what's wrong with you? "
Grabbing the Burning Book, Qin Shi fell into a state of panic and unease. "Sister Yu, we're about to get the Divine Pregnant Tree's Fruit. You'll be able to recover soon. Say something!"
But no matter how much Qin Shi shouted, the Burning Book was like a sleeping beauty, quietly lying in Qin Shi's hands without the slightest response.
Indifferent, Qin Shi's black eyes lost focus, as if the sky had collapsed. "How, how could this be?"
No one could understand the despair that followed this hope.
"Ahhh!!!"
He roared and screamed in pain.
Qin Shi was going crazy, slumping to the ground. "Didn't you say that you'd always be with me? Why are you ignoring me?
"Why, why? After three years of hard work, I was so close, so close to completely recovering. Why can't you hold on a little longer?!"
Looking at the pained Qin Shi, the Pregnant God Tree shook her head. "Don't shout, kid. Your little automaton was injured, and burned his quintessence-blood just now. She won't respond to you!"
"Shut up!"
Qin Shi's head snapped up, his eyes bloodshot. "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone to the lava cave. If it weren't for you, Sister Yu wouldn't be like this. It's all because of you!!"
With that, Qin Shi rushed to his feet, his mind on the verge of collapse. He had no idea what he was doing, and could only attack numbly.
"Divine Character Incantation!"
"Fallen Star Hegemon Body Incantation!"
"Soul Hall, Palace!"
Spiritual power, psychic power, elemental power, soul power, all sorts of attacks erupted from within Qin Shi's body, bombarding the Pregnant Tree like a raging storm.
Bang!
The Divine Pregnant Tree focused, and hundreds of vines quickly formed a shield in front of the tree trunk.
Rumble!
Under the intense collision, the entire palace's backyard began to shake. The Pregnant Tree narrowed its eyes in displeasure. "You little brat!"
With that, it no longer held back. Its vines lashed out like whips, scattering Qin Shi's spiritual and psychic power. They scuttled through the ground a few times, then wrapped around Qin Shi's limbs.
"I'll kill you!"
Qin Shi had gone mad. Over the past three years, he'd cherished the Jade In The Book as much as his life. In his extreme, he'd even used his fiendish aura. Balls of black fiendish aura began to erupt from the totem.
A wound even split open between his eyebrows, and a blood-red eye slowly opened.
The moment the fiendish aura appeared, the Pregnant Tree panicked. "What a terrifying fiendish aura. This power is even several times stronger than the Bloodthirsty Demon Sovereign's. Just what kind of monster is sealed in this little guy's wrist?"
"I want you dead!"
The demonic aura in his body became more and more violent, and the demonic blood sealed beneath his dantian was even showing signs of breaking out of the Human Emperor Demon-Sealing Orb.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the Pregnant Tree's vines were completely devoured by the fiendish aura. The Pregnant Tree felt an unprecedented panic.
"Little brat, are you crazy?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Qin Shi bared his fangs. Right now, he was no different from an ancient demon, and his mind was filled with endless slaughter. "I want you to die with my Sister Yu!"
Under the pressure of the fiendish aura, the Pregnant Tree didn't dare to use its spiritual power. If it came into contact with the slightest bit, it would immediately suffer a backlash. It cursed in frustration, "Your Sister Yu isn't dead yet. I'm going to die with your grandpa!"
Clang!
Qin Shi, who had just sped away, suddenly froze on the spot. His black eyes that had been devoured turned white as he said in a trembling voice, "You, what did you just say?
You said that Sister Yu isn't dead? "
"If you waste any more time with me, she'll be dead!"
With these words, Qin Shi completely calmed down. The demonic aura in his mind was suppressed, and the blood-red eye between his eyebrows also gradually retracted. He grabbed the Pregnant Tree's vines and said, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?
How can we save Sister Yu? "
Qin Shi stopped, and the Pregnant Tree heaved a sigh of relief. It stared at the withered leaves that had been devoured by the fiendish aura, and cursed angrily, "What a crazy little brat, going all out for the sake of a beauty. Shouldn't you have asked clearly first?
I was almost killed by you …! "
Bang!
Before it could even finish speaking, Qin Shi shot forward like an arrow and rushed in front of the Pregnant Tree. He grabbed the trunk of the Divine Pregnant Tree with his demonic totem arm, fiendish aura swirling around him as he said coldly, "I'm asking you, how can I save my Sister Yu? If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I'll send you to your death immediately!"
The Pregnant Tree was shocked. Qin Shi's attitude before and after was like a completely different person. It didn't doubt Qin Shi's words, but if it dared to say another word, Qin Shi would probably use his fiendish aura to devour it cleanly, right?
The Pregnant Tree couldn't help but tremble. The Pregnant Tree gritted its teeth and said, "Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit, the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit can heal her injuries."
"Give it to me!"
After receiving confirmation, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and opened his other hand in front of the Pregnant Tree.
After hesitating for a moment, the Divine Charm Tree didn't dare to delay any further. The lush leaves in the sky shook a little, revealing a precious fruit.
The fruit was greenish-purple, and even from thousands of meters away, Qin Shi could feel the powerful soul energy contained within it.
"This is the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit?"
Taking the fruit, Qin Shi was a little excited. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and he had finally found it.
"Sister Yu, hold on, I'm going to save you right now!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi wrapped the Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit with his spiritual energy and crushed it into powder bit by bit. Qin Shi only needed to take a light breath to feel his sea of consciousness become clear, and there were even signs of a breakthrough. This showed just how powerful the soul energy within it was.
Weng!
The Divine Pregnant Tree Fruit entered the Book Blazing, which had been dim all this time, but now it suddenly started to tremble, and a faint light started to return to the top.
The originally tattered pages actually started to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This caused Qin Shi to be overjoyed. "Sister Yu!"
