Chapter 198: The Sap of the Divine Tree

“I see. Everyone, be on your guard! There are many Razor Clam people inside this divine tree!” Yunxiao reminded them in advance. His divine sense was the strongest, and it had enveloped half of the divine tree in just a flash.

“Come with me! As long as we enter the divine tree, they will definitely not find our trace!” The Firefish clan chief was very confident as he led the way in front. Soon, the eight of them sped up and rushed forward.

Glup! Glup! Glup!

Suddenly, a strange force weighed down at the direction where the eight people were heading. It was like they had entered a kind of highly concentrated liquid from water. Their bodies became sticky and kept producing a large number of bubbles that rose to the surface, as if it were difficult for them to move forward. Yunxiao, on the other hand, sensed a power in this liquid that gave him a faint feeling as if the Primordial Qi in his body were about to boil, a very comfortable and enjoyable sensation.

“This is…” The clan chief’s expression suddenly changed drastically as he roared in fury, “AHHHH! Those animals! This is the sap of Kunwu Divine Tree! I can’t believe they actually destroyed the tree! So much sap…To what extent have they destroyed the tree!” He was completely mad. After all, the tree was the sacred relic of his clan!

He did not have much anger after the divine tree was taken by the Razor Clam clan. After all, the sacred relic was still there, and as long as his clan was strong enough, he could take it back sooner or later. But now, they actually began to destroy the sacred relic, and once it was destroyed, his clan would lose it forever. How could he not be mad, and how could he explain to all the ancestors of the Firefish clan?

“My lord, don’t be angry yet. Now that it has been destroyed, it is too late to stop it. Let’s figure out the situation before we make any plans. If my prediction is correct, they are using the sap of this Kunwu Divine Tree to enhance the strength of the whole clan. The Razor Clam clan is more talented than you, and it will be troublesome if they can directly absorb the divine tree’s power.”

Yunxiao said worriedly, “There are indeed several powerful forces in this divine tree, but as they lay dormant, I couldn’t tell the actual situation. I feared the tree had been destroyed for a very long time. Let’s go inside the divine tree first.”

They were about to swim over when a cold voice suddenly called out, “Who are you? How dare you trespass the restricted area of the Razor Clam clan? You’re courting death!”

The seawater in front of them began to roll and kept spinning outward, revealing seven Razor Clam people, each with a steel fork in hands. Judging from the aura emanated from one of them, he was clearly a Martial Grandmaster.

These sea people all had one thing in common, that was, their favorite weapons were steel forks. So, no matter what clan, three-pronged steel forks were the most commonly used weapons. Apart from imitating a divine weapon of the Bo family, steel forks were a kind of extremely material-saving weapon, and they were easy to use in water.

Whoosh!

This time, seven people except the clan chief struck out at the same time without Yunxiao’s order, beheading the few enemies before they could even respond. The Martial Grandmaster was taken aback by the aura that exploded out from them, and he roared hoarsely in the next instant, “You… you are… AHHH!”

All seven enemies were killed in a flash!

“Who goes there?”

That finally alerted a Razor Clam expert. A domineering voice rang out of the Kunwu Divine Tree, and a powerful aura gradually approached.

“Ignore that, let’s go inside first!” Yunxiao snorted coldly as he took the lead in rushing into the huge Kunwu Divine Tree and disappeared into it instantly. The others followed closely behind.

This Kunwu Divine Tree was an ancient divine artifact. Inside it was a world of its own, with tree branches that stretched so long that no one knew how far they went, and so wide that it felt like standing on flat ground. They extended and connected in all directions; it was so confusing that even the Firefish clan chief had to stop and think for a moment after taking every few steps.

Yunxiao’s most urgent goal was to find the Soul Nourishing Wood, which could only be produced after the Kunwu Divine Tree absorbed a large amount of life force and souls, and generally it could only be found near the core of the divine tree. The simplest way was to cut a way through the tree, but the Firefish people would obviously not agree to that, and it would attract enemies as well.

The deeper they went, the uglier clan chief’s face grew. There was a lot of sap here, and the concentration was very high. Clearly, the divine tree had been seriously damaged. After walking for about ten minutes, they came to a stop. Looking at a huge broken branch, the clan chief’s face turned extremely dark. A large amount of sap was overflowing from the fracture, and a very strong scent came blowing into their noses.

As he sniffed at the scent, Yunxiao felt that his cultivation base, which had just broken through, begin to show signs of improving. And the Phoenix True Flame, which hid in the depths of his soul, seemed to have sensed something as well and began to turn active. Under the twitching of the flame, his body became extremely warm and flushed faintly.

“Are you alright, Young Master Yun?” Duan Yue was the first to discover Yunxiao’s anomaly, and he asked in shock.

“I’m fine,” Yunxiao said lightly, but the look in his eyes grew fiercer. He gently swept the fracture with a hand, and his One Qi of Destiny absorbed the almost solidified sap into his body. A refreshing and comfortable sensation immediately flowed through him while the endless Primordial Qi contained in the sap transformed into a stream of energy and repeatedly circulated in his body, before finally sinking into his dantian and turning into his power.

What delighted him even more was that the flame in the depths of his soul also seemed to be nourished and become somewhat active.

He had been unable to control the Phoenix True Flame and could only summon its illusory form. If he could use the power of this Kunwu Divine Tree to completely control the Phoenix True Flame, it would definitely bring him unimaginable benefits.

“It is indeed a treasure of the heaven and earth!” His eyes gleamed with cold light and his heart was filled with anger. “And yet, such a precious treasure was destroyed to such an extent! Damn these people!”

The Firefish clan chief said in a deep voice, “Your Excellency, the divine tree is divided into three outer layers and three inner layers. We are at a junction between the outer and inner layers now. If we go further inside, we will find the inner three layers. We have not seen any Razor Clam people along the way, I fear they must be hiding and cultivating in the inner three layers.”

Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Exactly! I’ve already sensed that there are many strong auras inside. They must be adopting the method of ‘killing the goose that lays the golden eggs’, which drains the power of the Kunwu Divine Tree at once to enhance the strength of their whole clan. I wonder how long this has been going on for. I’m worried that the Razor Clam clan’s strength may be greater than what we expected.”

The clan chief said in horror, “How could it be? What should we do then?”

Yunxiao said, “Hmph! Let’s see who wins first! They are robbing the sap, so we will rob as well. Let’s see who robs more!”

“Hehe! That’s a good idea, but too bad that you will die now!”

A figure suddenly appeared over them, and he was the Razor Clam who pursued them just now. With an unruly expression, he looked coldly at them and mocked, “I was wondering who had intruded this place, but it turns out to be the pieces of rubbish from the Firefish school. How dare you come back here! It is a great honor to your school that my clan occupied this divine tree. How could you be so ignorant?”

The expressions of the few Firefishs changed drastically. They were from a ‘clan’, and yet this Razor Clam mocked them as a ‘school’. It was a great insult, and among sea people, such an insult was a feud that could only be resolved by death.

The Firefish clan chief gnashed his teeth and said in a voice thick with hatred, “We, the Firefish clan, have been yielding and retreating, but you keep pushing your luck. This time, even if it takes the strength of my whole clan, I will fight with you!”

“Fight?” The Razor Clam chuckled as if he had heard some funny joke. “You and what army? If it weren’t for not wanting to create too much disturbance, do you think shrimps like you could live to this day? You always thought that the C-grade sea clan was protecting us, but in fact, they were saving your shrimps’ lives!”

“Bah!” The clan chief flew into a rage. “When you first came to the South Sea, the strongest one among you was just a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster. At that time, if I had made up my mind, none of you would have lived! How I hate myself now! It was my indecision that led to the present situation!”

“Hmph! None of us would have lived? How arrogant! When my clan was in the East Sea, we ruled over millions of sea areas, and even the Kings of the East Sea treated us with courtesy when we met. Shrimps like you are not even worthy of carrying shoes for my clan. It is a great honor for you to offer the divine tree to my clan, and yet you still complain? You really deserve to die!”

“Haha!” Tie Ling could not help but sneer, “You were really mighty, with all your Martial Emperors and above slain by a human being, and then tucking your tail between your legs to flee all the way to the South Sea. Amazing, how amazing!”

It was exactly the pain point of the Razor Clam clan, so the Martial Grandmaster immediately flew into a rage and roared like a madman, “You’re courting death!”

He threw out his arms abruptly, and two great forces appeared in his palms as he clenched them together. Suddenly, two whirlpools emerged in the water and merged together, stirring all the surrounding water as they converged into a tremendous force and pressed down like a drill. All the branches of the divine tree broke and shattered under the force.

“A nine-stars Martial Grandmaster!”

Tie Fan was shocked. ‘It seems that, as the Lord Holy Herald said, we underestimated the Razor Clam clan’s strength. It is likely that they have progressed significantly during the time when the Kunwu Divine Tree was in their possession! This Razor Clam is not one of the leaders we’ve seen in the past, and yet he actually has the strength of a nine-stars Martial Grandmaster!’

“Tie Fan, get out of the way!” Suddenly, the clan chief said in a deep voice as a mighty power exuded from his body, pushing Tie Fan to one side.

That startled Tie Fan, and he said in horror, “My lord, your body…”

“I’m fine!” The clan chief’s face was livid as his aura began to climb, and a terrible aura soon spread out and instantly stopped the falling whirlpool. “I will not die before I kill all these animals!” he said coldly.

“You…This power…” The Razor Clam was shocked. Looking at the clan chief’s murderous face, he cried out in horror, “You…you are the clan chief of the Firefish clan!”

“Hmph! Now that you know me, you can die!”

The Firefish clan chief’s aura exploded out in a flash; a terrifying force suddenly targeted the Razor Clam, and then the seawater in all directions plunged toward him.

The Razor Clam hurriedly turned to flee in horror, but how could he run away now? He was crushed out of shape on the spot, and his whole body began to twist, even rolling in water, as if he were about to twist into a rope!

Alarmed and panicky, he roared, “How dare a lowly school like you attack me! Are you really not afraid of the wrath of the Razor Clam clan!”
