Chapter 2258: Heavenly Demon Root!

Chapter 2258: Chapter 2258: Heavenly Demon Root!

As the world spun around him, Zhou Yu felt as if he had stepped into another dimension.

Zhou Yu’s heart trembled with shock.

He had originally thought that it was just a formation.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another space.

After a brief moment of panic, he quickly stabilized himself.

Soon after, he discovered that this space was not large and was quite fragile.

He only needed to strike with his full power to break this space open.

This made him relax slightly.

Subsequently, Zhou Yu realized that the layout inside this space was still that of a private room.

Furthermore, there were two people inside.

Aside from Duan Tian, there was another woman.

This woman belonged to the Wood Silver Clan.

Her aura was much weaker than Duan Tian’s but was still at the Integration Realm Early Stage.

Zhou Yu immediately remained calm and bowed to the two, saying:

"Junior Zhou Yu, greetings to the two elders."

At that moment, Duan Tian did not even glance at Zhou Yu, instead savoring a cup of tea, seemingly quite absorbed in it.

However, this cup of tea was indeed extraordinary.

Even from dozens of meters away, Zhou Yu could smell the rich Spiritual Power wafting from the teacup.

Just then, the woman spoke:

"Mr. Zhou, please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu clasped his fists again and then stepped forward, coming beside the woman to sit down on a chair.

After Zhou Yu sat down, the woman looked towards Duan Tian.

"Brother Duan, Mr. Zhou is already here."

"Next, will you speak, or shall I?"

Duan Tian replied indifferently:

"Daoist Cai, I’ve brought the person here."

"You can handle the verification and confirmation yourself."

"I can’t be bothered with idle chatter."

"Just know, I want sixty percent of the final benefits."

Upon hearing this, the woman named Cai smiled slightly.

"How to divide the benefits is a matter for later."

"Brother Duan’s situation, I still need to confirm."

After speaking, the woman turned to Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, could you extend your arm?"

At her words, Zhou Yu’s expression changed slightly.

He said solemnly:

"Elders, since you called me here, you should at least inform me what you plan to do?"

However, Duan Tian continued savoring his tea, ignoring him.

And the woman named Cai smiled and said:

"Mr. Zhou, just do as I say."

"In a moment, you’ll naturally understand why."

Though the woman kept her smile.

Her tone left no room for objection.

Zhou Yu knew he had no room for negotiation.

Such is the law of this world, survival of the fittest.

Powerless to argue, Zhou Yu could only comply.

He slowly extended his left hand.

However, the woman squinted and said:

"The other hand."

Zhou Yu furrowed his brows slightly and then slowly extended his right hand.

At that moment, a strange light flashed in the woman’s eyes.

She then raised her hand, pointing it out.

A silver beam instantly shot out.

Directly targeting the back of Zhou Yu’s hand.

All of this happened in a flash, leaving Zhou Yu unable to react.

When the sting on the back of his hand came, Zhou Yu realized that something had entered his hand.

Zhou Yu’s face changed drastically and he immediately activated his Divine Sense to investigate.

Only then did he discover it was something resembling a silver needle.

The silver needle precisely pierced against the bone of his arm.

However, it did not penetrate deeper.

At this moment,

The silver needle suddenly emitted a black glow.

Then the entire needle turned black.

It was incredibly strange.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu’s entire right hand underwent astonishing changes.

His right hand swiftly turned pitch-black and withered.

Its shape was very much like an old tree root.

Witnessing this, Zhou Yu’s pupils contracted.

The appearance of his right hand now was exactly like the old tree root he had acquired in the Spiritual Land of Fengyuan City.

That old tree root was cultivated by Zhou Yu into a Plane Treasure in the Four Directions Realm, which was the Demon Blade.

Later, Zhou Yu felt this old tree root was unusual.

Coincidentally, his cultivation of Brahma Heaven Demon Technique included a divine skill that allowed him to refine special materials into his body to enhance its strength.

So Zhou Yu refined the old tree root into his right hand.

Since completing the refining, Zhou Yu really hadn’t noticed any significant changes.

Just that his right arm was indeed more robust than any other part.

Besides that, there was no other abnormality.

Even Zhou Yu himself couldn’t make the old tree root appear again.

Unexpectedly, this woman, just by using a silver needle, made his right hand turn like this.

Could it be that they are after this old tree root?

Zhou Yu was startled inwardly.

At that moment, the woman named Cai was closely watching Zhou Yu’s hand and said:

"Indeed a Heavenly Demon Root!"

"It’s unbelievable that someone in this world can cultivate a Heavenly Demon Body."

After speaking, the woman waved her hand, and the silver needle in Zhou Yu’s palm flew back instantly.

Then Zhou Yu’s palm gradually returned to normal.

Zhou Yu looked at the woman with a face of astonishment and asked:

"Elder, what is the Heavenly Demon Root?"

"And what is the Heavenly Demon Body?"

"What exactly is going on here?"

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, the woman named Cai was taken aback.

"You don’t know?"

Zhou Yu blankly shook his head.

"Junior indeed does not know."

Mrs. Cai stared intently at Zhou Yu.

"Then why did your arm turn like this?"

Zhou Yu felt a surge in his heart and immediately said:

"When I was in the Human Race, I once accidentally entered an ancient cultivator’s cave, then before entering, a dry corpse appeared inside..."

Zhou Yu recounted the process of obtaining the old tree root.

Essentially, what Zhou Yu told was genuine.

"Later, that dry corpse tried to seize my body, but its Force of the Primordial Spirit was too weak and got exterminated by me."

"Afterwards, the dry corpse disappeared, but it left behind this old tree root, which fused with my arm."

"To be precise, it wasn’t my voluntary fusion, but that dry corpse found its Force of the Primordial Spirit suppressed by me, then it manipulated my body to forcibly refine the old tree root, intending to use it against me."

"But in the end, it still failed..."

Upon hearing this, even the previously tea-sipping Duan Tian showed a surprised expression looking at Zhou Yu.

And the woman named Cai also had glittering eyes in her gaze.

"So that’s the reason."

"The dry corpse you mentioned had a previous strength at least at the Peak of Integration Realm."

"Mr. Zhou truly has a great destiny."

The woman named Cai looked at Zhou Yu with a mocking smile.

Zhou Yu felt a stir in his heart, knowing that his explanation couldn’t completely convince the woman named Cai.

But he believed that she would at least believe most of it.

That’s sufficient.

Zhou Yu bowed and said:

"Indeed, I was extremely lucky to survive."

The woman named Cai waved her hand and said:

"No matter, that’s not important."

"Actually, it’s unclear what the Heavenly Demon Root is."

"But that’s not important."

"The important thing is, Mr. Zhou accidentally refined the Heavenly Demon Root, accomplishing the Heavenly Demon Body, gaining the power to restrain the Five Elements Power, just perfect to assist me and Brother Duan with a task."

"What task?" Zhou Yu asked, puzzled.
