Chapter 1248: Parent And Child Hong Meng Dragon Tree

Luo Yunyang recognized the figure shrouded in the green light, as it was the master who was currently in charge of training his son—Yuan Sage Shending!

The Taixu Sect would definitely come on strong when it came to something as rare as the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. Luo Yunyang had been waiting for the representative of the Taixu Sect to make his appearance but had never expected that someone like Yuan Sage Shending would be showing up.

“Yuan Sage Shending, how did you get so close to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree?” Yuan Sage Wuxiang asked grudgingly. He had initially been bent on vying for the tree but had not expected Yuan Sage Shending to come and ruin everything.

“Many years ago, my teacher acquired a fruit from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. The seeds of this fruit grew into another small Hong Meng Dragon Tree.” Yuan Sage Shending chuckled.

“Even though that small tree is by no means comparable to the actual tree in terms of power and effectiveness, it can still take me close to the actual parent tree. Unfortunately, this trip has sapped away the entire energy of this little Hong Meng Dragon Tree!”

Even though he continued to reply to Yuan Sage Wuxiang’s question, Yuan Sage Shending wasted no time deploying his techniques. A large amount of mind power surged around him and headed toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Luo Yunyang’s current mind power on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree only occupied about one-tenth of it, while Yuan Sage Wuxiang and Blood Shadow Yuan Sage’s mind power occupied about one-third.

It could be said that both parties were already in the process of infusing their mind powers into the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

The mind power of Yuan Sage Wuxiang did not choose to occupy a vacant area in the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. Instead, it blasted forward against Yuan Sage Shending’s mind power.

One could say that Yuan Sage Wuxiang was on equal standing with Yuan Sage Shending when it came to strength and mind power. However, because Yuan Sage Shending was now two times closer to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree than Yuan Sage Wuxiang, he naturally had an advantage.

An expanse of green light appeared as the area formerly occupied by Yuan Sage Wuxiang’s mind power was struck by Yuan Venerate Shending’s mind power.

Seeing the area he occupied being ruined by someone else was a direct provocation for Yuan Sage Wuxiang.

His attempts to try to retaliate using his mind power were fruitless, as the distance between him and Yuan Sage Shending was pretty significant. Instead, the area currently being occupied by his mind power so it could be infused into the tree was reduced to about half of what it had originally been.

“Blood Shadow, Shending is currently in a far more advantageous position than the two of us. If this carries on, the two of us may end up being eliminated.”

Yuan Sage Wuxiang, who was currently at a loss and had no idea what to do, said this in an attempt to talk to Yuan Sage Blood Shadow for the first time.

Even though the two martialists had never been able to get along, Yuan Sage Wuxiang still directly chose to approach Yuan Sage Blood Shadow to form an alliance at this critical juncture.

Yuan Sage Blood Shadow let out a bout of merciless laughter. He not only ignored this request to join forces but also directly made a move toward Luo Yunyang’s mind power.

Luo Yunyang’s current occupation of the tree was the smallest amongst everyone participating and incomparable to even one-tenth of the portion occupied by Yuan Sage Shending.

Now, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow was making a direct move on the mind power of Luo Yunyang, even though he had not cared about him earlier during his attempt to fight for the area with Yuan Sage Wuxiang.

In terms of strength or mind power, Luo Yunyang was still not nearly as proficient as an actual Yuan Sage. However, he did not feel threatened by the approaching Yuan Sage Blood Shadow.

In an instant, he activated his attribute regulator and converted all his other abilities into Mind as he engaged in a mind power battle against Yuan Sage Blood Shadow.

Under the pressure of the mind power of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow, Luo Yunyang’s mind power did not shrink back. Instead, it assumed an offensive stance and formed a vortex of lights.

There was a great amount of danger involved in the battle, even though it only seemed like two different colors were flickering on the exterior of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Both Yuan Sage Blood Shadow and Yuan Sage Wuxiang had not thought of Luo Yunyang as a threat. Why would they be so concerned about a Yuan Monarch when they were both Yuan Sages?

During the infusion with the tree, the reason neither had made a move on Luo Yunyang was also because they’d both intended to attack each other instead.

Now that he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Luo Yunyang’s mind power, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow had not expected such a strong counter-attack.

“Who would have thought you’d still have something hidden up your sleeves! Unfortunately, your struggle here is still futile,” said Yuan Sage Blood Shadow as he looked at Luo Yunyang.

“Since we have made our moves, you can forget about getting your hands on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree!”

The words of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow conveyed the intention of Yuan Sage Shending, Yuan Sage Wuxiang, and the other participants.

It was an absolute joke to think that someone who had not even reached the level of a Yuan Sage would try to vie with them for the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Luo Yunyang did not reply as he continued to use his mind power in his struggle against Yuan Sage Blood Shadow.

On the other side of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, Yuan Sage Wuxiang and Yuan Sage Shending were also engaged in an intense battle. Unlike the deadlock of a battle happening on the other side, Yuan Sage Wuxiang was currently being pushed back by the pressuring Yuan Sage Shending.

Yuan Sage Wuxiang felt sullen. He wasn’t any weaker than Yuan Sage Shending in terms of strength. However, the distance to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree meant that his mind power was unable to get a proper foothold on the tree due to the pressure of the opposing mind power.

The area that had originally been occupied by his mind power had been reduced to less than one-tenth of what it had originally been. It could even be said that he was already in danger of being completely removed from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Once he was eliminated, he would have absolutely no more contact with the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

“Blood Shadow, stop vying with that young chap. Shending is our true opponent!” Yuan Saint Wuxiang shouted as his emotions ran wild.

Judging by the tussle with Luo Yunyang, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow knew now that it was impossible to quickly destroy and eliminate Luo Yunyang as he had initially intended to.

He also felt threatened by the speed of the attack of Yuan Sage Shending against Yuan Sage Wuxiang.

He and Yuan Sage Wuxiang were comparable in terms of their distance from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. Once the mind power of Yuan Sage Wuxiang was eliminated, then he would definitely be no match for Yuan Sage Shending.

“Young chap, Yuan Sage Shending is not someone you can deal with alone. How about we now shift our focus to deal with him first?”

Even though he had already made a decision in his mind, Yuan Sage Blood Shadow would need to withdraw from his current tussle with Luo Yunyang’s mind power in order to execute his plan.

Luo Yunyang continued to observe the battle between Yuan Sage Shending and Yuan Sage Wuxiang as he kept resisting the pressure of the mind power of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow.

If he had to choose one of the three Yuan Sages, Luo Yunyang detested Yuan Sage Shending the most.

In his bid to escape the impending calamity, this fellow actually wanted to use his precious son as a tool for substitution. The very thought of this pained Luo Yunyang’s heart. In his opinion, Yuan Sage Shending was his greatest foe in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm.

Naturally, he definitely did not want Yuan Sage Shending to end up getting a massive cultivation level boost by obtaining the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

“Alright!” Luo Yunyang responded without any hesitation.

Yuan Venerate Shending had overheard the discussion between Luo Yunyang and the other two. However, there was no change in his expression. Instead, the concentration of the green light increased even more frantically as a result of his mind power.

In an instant, the territory occupied by Yuan Venerate Wuxiang was further reduced by half. The mind power of Yuan Venerate Shending was already occupying nearly the entire area previously occupied by Yuan Venerate Wuxiang.

The mind power of Yuan Venerate Wuxiang was now barely hanging on to the corners of the tree. If no assistance was given within the next few moments, then his mind power would really be eliminated from the tree.

There was a malevolent look on the face of Yuan Venerate Wuxiang as he frantically tried to activate even more of his mind power in defense against the mounting pressure at this critical juncture.

He could not give up just like that. After all, the Hong Meng Dragon Tree was simply too important.

While he was barely hanging on, the mind powers of both Luo Yunyang and Yuan Sage Blood Shadow quickly approached and attacked Yuan Sage Shending’s mind power.

Yuan Sage Shending never flinched as he kept pressuring Yuan Sage Wuxiang with his mind power in an attempt to push him out of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree while simultaneously fending off the attacks of Luo Yunyang and Yuan Sage Blood Shadow.

Yuan Sage Shending did not seem to be at a disadvantage in any way despite facing three opponents at once. Instead, it seemed as though he had a great advantage.

The four of them continued to activate their mind powers as they advanced toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. However, as they got closer to the tree, Yuan Sage Shending seemed to dominate the battle.

Yuan Sage Shending seemed invincible in battle. However, Luo Yunyang suddenly had an idea. He could try to use his attribute regulator to reduce Yuan Sage Shending’s Mind Attribute.

This way, they would be able to eliminate Yuan Sage Shending first from the battle. However, even after defeating Yuan Sage Shending, Luo Yunyang would not hold a great advantage in the battle.

“The Hong Meng Dragon Tree is mine. You, you, and you should all get lost right this instant!” Yuan Sage Shending shouted just as Luo Yunyang was secretly making his move.

Then, Yuan Sage Shending’s mind power output was doubled.

Yuan Venerate Wuxiang, who had initially been cornered into a very small area due to the pressure exerted by Yuan Venerate Shending, was now even further reduced in terms of area to just the size of a palm.

The mind power of Yuan Sage Blood Shadow also started crumbling.

Luo Yunyang similarly felt a large surge of pressure. He knew that there was no other choice now since Yuan Sage Shending had used a secret technique.

However, just as he was about to activate his attribute regulator, in the 36 Great Cosmoses, a jade-like palm broke through the sky on the Seven Extinction Grounds.

Even though the palm wasn’t huge, it still made the Origin Intent of the 36 Great Cosmoses weaken considerably.

It seemed as though something was crushing this Origin Intent.

The Great Era Destroyer had arrived!

“5,000 Yuan Venerates. Not bad, Luo Yunyang. I must really thank you for giving me such a pleasant surprise!”

Seeing the five fingers talking at the same time with different voices was a peculiar sight.

Meanwhile, the palm had begun to quickly descend!
