Chapter 798: Chapter 506: Battle Against the Eight-eyed White Worm! (Double-length) (2)

"Did it fall to the ground? How come it looks so much like the ginseng fruit in storybooks..." Song Changming was reminded of something, but knew they had no association.

But with this realization, it was enough to confirm that the fruits on the tree were indeed fully matured. Who knows how many had already fallen before, disappearing without a trace once they hit the ground.

Afterward, Song Changming tried striking the barrier with a punch.

As a result, the barrier remained intact, while he was pushed back two steps by its retaliatory force.

"Such high strength..." Song Changming marveled.

All talisman arrays have a limit to withstand destructive impacts, exceeding it would cause the array to collapse and be violently broken.

But this barrier, Song Changming couldn’t predict how high its limit was, so he dared not act recklessly for fear of injuring himself.

Situ Ming, standing aside, was unsurprised and advised Song Changming not to try again.

With demons surrounding them, any injury to Song Changming could lead to an attack by the horde of demons.

As Song Changming examined the barrier, Situ Ming was constantly on alert, guarding against any sudden attack from a Great Demon.

Song Changming stepped back several paces, turning his gaze to the tree elder at the side, who had transformed into a tree-like demon form.

The elder was pressed against the barrier, emitting life force from the Tree Demon Race, seemingly trying to find resonance with the Ancient Immortal Tree.

"Please revive and observe this world..." The tree demon was devout, feeling insignificant like a grain of dust in front of this Ancient Immortal Tree, which had lived for countless years.

"If you will, please remove the barrier so we may approach you..."

The tree demon’s heart was calling out, attempting to communicate with the Immortal Tree as a fellow tree demon.

Yet the Immortal Tree showed little reaction, but the tree demon persevered in trying to truly awaken the Immortal Tree and interact formally.

He believed it was possible, as the Immortal Tree was already reviving; he just hadn’t found the correct channel to converse with it.

Time ticked away, and during this period, Human Race Grandmasters and Demon Race Great Demons with strong physical prowess or cultivation continued to break in and see the ancient giant tree.

Some Great Demons couldn’t contain themselves within, wanting to attack the Human Race Grandmasters again.

However, due to the inaction of the King of the Nine Netherworlds and Celestial Venerable Mo, many Great Demons restrained themselves.

At this point, from a large cave entrance, three pale-skinned demon shadows entered.

Their appearance drew the attention of numerous gazes.

No wonder, as the demon Qi emitted by these three Demon Race members was overwhelmingly large and astonishing, making it difficult not to be noticed.

"I just saw the Sun Devouring Beast in An Province; how did it vanish in the blink of an eye?" Chong Yin glanced around, speaking slowly.

"The Sun Devouring Beast is always elusive, and it’s been over a hundred years since there’s been news of this race. They were once a prestigious Great Demon Race, akin to our White-haired Worm Race..." Chongsi muttered blankly.

"Brothers, such a mighty ancient tree! It’s still alive!" Chong Hao’s golden insect eyes gazed in shock at the towering tree in the distance.

"It’s worth coming here just for this ancient tree; something like this can’t be found in the outside world." Chongsi nodded with a wooden expression.

"If this giant tree were moved back to Yuan Province, father would certainly be delighted!" A smile emerged on Chong Yin’s face, appearing sinister and eerie against his bubble-like pale complexion.

"Hmm?" Chongsi’s gaze quickly shifted from the giant tree, scanning over the nearby Human Race Grandmasters and Great Demons.

His eyes lingered briefly on the King of the Nine Netherworlds, Celestial Venerable Mo, and a few other strong figures like Hua Sichen but didn’t dwell too much.

"Brother, as you said, there is such a rich collection of Grandmaster flesh here!" Chong Yin’s grin grew wider, a greedy lust lingering in his insect eyes.

"Postpone moving the giant tree; brother, I’m hungry..."

Chongsi nodded slightly, fixing his gaze as he suddenly remarked, "There’s another matter to handle first."

"What matter?" Chong Yin looked to his brother in confusion.

"Revenge for clan blood." Chongsi raised his head slightly, speaking as he floated to the outside of the barrier, his eyes falling on Song Changming.

"It’s you!" Chong Yin immediately understood, landing on the ground and facing Song Changming directly.

"Changming!" Situ Ming’s expression grew stern.

The arrival of these three Great Demons posed a great threat, even comparable to that of the King of the Nine Netherworlds, and it was evident they were targeting Song Changming.

Song Changming said nothing, rifling through his memories with no recollection of these three Great Demons.

He wasn’t sure why these three white-haired creatures would single him out.

But given the capricious nature of the Demon Race, even unfounded hostility was considered normal.

Song Changming placed one hand on the hilt of the God-devouring Saber at his waist; even Situ Ming felt the strong oppressive force from these three Great Demons.

And this pressure was intense enough to make him conclude that these three white-haired creatures had likely reached a higher Tao practice than the King of the Nine Netherworlds!

Against such formidable foes, anyone would need to be prepared fully.

Chong Yin suddenly spoke, "Let me enlighten you before you die. It was you who killed the mixed-blood white-haired worm lingering in the Southern Border Grotto Heaven Blessed Land."

Upon hearing this, Song Changming instantly realized.

It turned out to be the demon behind Master Baitian from all those years ago.

He thought that after so many years had passed without incident, the death of Master Baitian was meaningless, not expecting this karma to catch up now.

He knew Master Baitian contained the bloodline of the Eight-eyed White Worm from the Yuan Province, being a half-human half-demon.

Given what these three Great Demons said, they were evidently from the Eight-eyed White Worm Race.

"Eight-eyed White Worm!" Situ Ming instantly clenched his fists.

He suspected these three Great Demons must have a significant background but didn’t anticipate them to be descendants of the Insect King from Yuan Province.

Eight-eyed White Worms are said to carry Ancient Insect Race blood, exceptionally powerful, ranking among the elite races even across the Nine Provinces Demon Realm.

Especially the White-haired Worm King, who was the key culprit forcing the Human Race to flee, leading to Yuan Province’s downfall, unmatched even by any other!

Considering this, Situ Ming felt a chill down his spine, sweating coldly for Song Changming.

This isn’t an ordinary Demon Race enemy; their background is truly immense!

Offending the Eight-eyed White Worm means survival can only be sought under Emperor Yun’s protection!

Even the Situ Family behind him would find it incredibly difficult to protect Song Changming.

"Understood." Song Changming nodded, his expression remained calm.

He also knew how formidable the Eight-eyed White Worm Race in Yuan Province was, even the Fox Race from Fox Mountain in Yuan Province couldn’t compare to the current strength of the White-haired Worm Race.

But what of it!

He’s fought strong enemies all his life, overcoming the odds numerous times.

Now, he has three lives to fall back on; even if the Insect King descends, it would simply mean dying.

Death doesn’t scare him!

"Boy, facing death, you’re surprisingly composed." Chong Yin sneered coldly, raising his hand to unleash waves of demon Qi, so dense that it suffocated at just a glance.

Chong Yin didn’t waste words, directly reaching out with a palm to seize Song Changming.

"Watch out!" Situ Ming gritted his teeth, punching out with green flames, entwining monstrous fist force, aiming straight at Chong Yin.

The power behind his punch was indeed formidable, yet it was swallowed by the boundless demon Qi, unable to form an evenly matched opposition.

Song Changming’s expression remained unchanged, stepping forward to stand before Situ Ming, simultaneously drawing his saber for a slash.

Inside him, the Thunder Seed was ignited, gathering all the thunder around his body onto the blade’s edge.

Thunder Blade: Red Cloud Slash!

With one slash, a crimson thundercloud struck the appalling demon Qi that approached.

The next moment, the demon Qi that Situ Ming couldn’t fend off was obliterated by Song Changming’s single slash.

The powerful shockwave immediately unsettled the inside of the ring-shaped mountain, yet Song Changming didn’t retreat an inch, his Qi blood erupting like thunder.
