#7499 - The Emperor's Sorrow
In the boundless heaven, in a certain primitive forest
The thousand-foot-tall ancient tree is twisted like a dragon, with faint blue runes floating on the bark. Its branches overlap to form a dome, filtering the skylight into flowing stardust. Its roots hang down like curtains, and crystal dew condenses at the end, which actually blooms into a fluorescent cap when dripping into the moss.
A blood maple tree strangled a giant banyan tree. The red lines and blue veins entangled and throbbing on the trunk, as if living things were devouring each other. It looked extremely strange, the tree eating tree!
In this strange forest, all the animals are dormant. A herd of silver-horned deer emerges from the mist. Their antlers are as crystal clear as ice edges, and ice flowers bloom under their feet when they step on rotten leaves.
A two-tailed civet cat suddenly flew over the treetops, its pupils like swirling moon wheels, and it scattered phosphorus powder as it flicked its tail, attracting a swarm of light-eating moths that turned into a galaxy circling around it.
A nine-eyed giant salamander suddenly appeared in the deep pool, with human-faced ferns parasitizing on its dorsal fin. Each face sang a strange song with the ability to seduce people.
Emerald mist seeps out of the cracks in the earth veins, and wherever it passes, flesh-like mycelium networks grow on the rocks. Under the humus layer, underground rivers roar, and the river water holds up suspended killers - duckweed communities that are a symbiosis of luminous jellyfish and firefly moss, which contain highly toxic substances.
When the hurricane passed, all the leaves curled in the opposite direction, revealing the purple crystal veins on the back, and the entire forest instantly turned into a sky full of purple clouds.
And our child of destiny was born in this fantastic and strange forest. He is——
In the soil, a walnut-sized seed quietly sprouted!
There is actually a vague human face on this strange walnut seed.
Emperor Xin felt his "body" at this moment
As tough as he is, as iron-blooded as he is, as decisive as he is, there are only two words in his heart at this moment.
Grass!!!
"I-turned into a tree???"
The emperor’s consciousness “looked” at the tender buds that had grown and the bloody roots that had developed, and he felt like crying but had no tears.
I can’t even cry when I want to!
He just wanted to say, Tu Tu (Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches), I want to go home!
Suddenly, a gentle energy liquid fell on its body.
Di Xin just felt so comfortable, the smell was so good, he silently recited the Wood Witch Clan's martial arts formula, madly absorbing the energy, then his buds grew wildly, drilled through the soil, and saw the outside world.
I saw a huge tiger above me, raising its legs to urinate, and all the pure yang urine of this pure yang tiger was poured onto his body.
The facial expression on the Emperor's Heart Walnut Seed suddenly froze.
What I absorbed was the urine of this evil beast!!
"No!!!"
But, this urine——how can it be so sweet——
Emperor Xinmeng wanted to cry, he really turned into a tree.
At this time, the gate of the Pure Yang Mountain King Valley opened wide, and a fresh lump of shit fell on the newly developed buds of the Emperor's Heart.
"vomit--"
He wanted to vomit, but his roots were consciously absorbing the dragon feces excreted by the Pure Yang Mountain King.
I wonder if Wang Xiaoji and Zhuge Pangpang would be very excited if they saw this scene. They are finally not the first or second people to experience the reincarnation of grains.
The roots of the Emperor's Heart tremble in the humus layer.
He could clearly sense that the excrement of the Pure Yang Mountain King was being frantically decomposed by hundreds of hairy roots - the pure Yang essence in the tiger urine and the undigested animal bone fragments turned into a boiling hot current and poured into the wood.
Emperor's mind: It tastes strangely delicious - bah, bah, ugh -
“Crack!”
Further away, the roots of two thousand-year-old blood maples were fighting underground, and scarlet juice kept spurting out from the entanglement...
"Hiss—" A slight vibration came from underground. The Emperor's Heart suddenly retracted its roots, and a jade centipede passed by the main root, its poisonous jaws corroding the mycelium network along the way, leaving scorch marks.
"An epidemic has arisen!" The emperor used the witchcraft spell in his mind, and dark green juice oozed out from the back of the young leaves.
As soon as the centipede touched the poisonous fog, it began to twitch and tumble, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a pool of pus - this was exactly the application of the "Nine Plagues Sutra" of the Plague Witch clan!
Time flies, especially for a tree, and several years pass quickly.
On the day when the rainy season arrived, Emperor Xin encountered his first life-and-death crisis.
Under the heavy rain, countless pale roots emerged from the rotten leaves - the spores of the "ghost fern" had germinated!
These parasitic plants came like a tide, and their hair-thin roots tried to pierce the bark of the Emperor's Heart Tree.
"You want my wood essence?" Emperor Xin laughed in anger and took the initiative to release his defense. When the fern root pierced into the wood, he reversed the Nine Plagues Sutra and injected the concentrated plague poison through the catheter in reverse!
“Crack!”
The ghost-faced ferns exploded collectively, and dark green poisonous fog filled an area of ten feet in radius.
Emperor Xin took the opportunity to stretch out his aerial roots and devour all the wood spirit energy in the fern remains.
The tree trunk instantly grew three feet taller, and dark golden patterns appeared on the new leaves - it had actually merged the opponent's poison with its own poison to create a protective power!
Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor's Heart had grown into a three-meter-tall tree.
The trunk looks like it's cast in bronze, and scarlet resin oozes out from the cracks in the bark, which is extremely poisonous.
The leaves are shaped like witch axes with serrated edges. The strangest thing is the root system - those once slender velvet roots have now turned into hundreds of blood-red tentacles, weaving a devouring network underground.
At noon that day, the sky suddenly dimmed. Emperor Xin looked up and saw purple crystal veins interweaving into a network in the sky - the canopy of the entire forest rolled up its leaves at the same time!
"Hurricane season..." He recalled the patterns he had observed over the years and hurriedly retracted the branches.
Sure enough, the next moment, a strong wind came down like a knife, cutting the young tree in half before it could defend itself.
Fluorescent spores were carried in the wind and attached to the bark of the Emperor's Heart Tree, where they began to grow wildly.
He immediately secreted resin, but found that the hyphae of these "wind-entangled vines" could penetrate the voodoo!
"Then let's fight poison with poison!" The emperor became ruthless and mobilized the source of the epidemic that had accumulated for three years.
Nine shadows of plague pills appeared at the core of the tree, and dark green poisonous fire burned from the inside out, causing the tree's branches and leaves to become charred and curled up.
The wind-wrapped vine was reduced to ashes amid screams, but Emperor Xin seized the spiritual energy tide brought by the hurricane and urged the scorched branches to be reborn - the new branches actually had a metallic luster!
In the hundredth year, Emperor Xin became the overlord of an area of one hundred feet in radius.
Its roots have spread hundreds of feet underground, preying on monsters that stray into its territory. Its canopy covers acres of land, and its leaves can spray poisonous needles. The most terrifying thing are those blood-colored tentacles, which can instantly strangle tree monsters below the third level of the nine realms of heaven and man.
Until I came across a pale old tree called "Thousand Faces Banyan". Each leaf of the tree was a painful human face. Its aerial roots penetrated the trunks of the surrounding trees, and the parasites would gradually grow the same faces.
When the tentacles of Emperor Heart stepped into its territory, the entire forest suddenly echoed with the wailing of thousands of wild beasts!
"Sacrifice of living things!" The core of the Emperor's Heart Tree was shaken violently. It recognized that this was a strange secret technique of the tree clan - raising Gu with the resentment of all living things!
The attacks of the Thousand-Faced Banyan Tree are strange and unpredictable. The screams of evil spirits shake the soul, and the human-faced leaves spray bone-rotting black water. What is even more terrifying are the "corpse roots" wandering underground - they are transformed from the roots of the tree monsters it has devoured, and contain hundreds of poisons!
In order to devour the enemy, the battle lasted for nine days and nine nights. Emperor Heart lost 70% of its roots and the crown of the tree was completely destroyed, but in the end, he won by using the highest secret of "Nine Plagues Sutra" "Ten Thousand Epidemics Paying Homage to the Emperor".
When he swallowed the core of the Thousand-Faced Banyan Tree into his body, the memories of countless vengeful spirits flooded into his sea of consciousness - it turned out that this demon tree was about to transform into a human.
On the night when thunderclouds were approaching, the emperor's heart was already a thousand feet high.
The trunk of the tree is covered with witch patterns, the leaves are imprinted with the divine patterns of the twelve ancestor witches, and the roots have even turned into the shape of an earth dragon.
The real test is here—the thunder tribulation of becoming an immortal!
The emperor had no fear, only ecstasy in his heart!
When the first purple divine thunder struck, the emperor's heart condensed the miasma that had been accumulated for a hundred years into a poisonous dragon that rose against the sky.
The poisonous dragon collided with the lightning pillar, and the shock wave flattened three hills!
The second red flame lightning turned into a fire phoenix and pounced towards them.
Emperor Xin waved three thousand branches, and each leaf shot out the innate poison needle refined from the "Nine Plagues Sutra", which shot the Fire Phoenix into a sieve!
The third Xuanming Thunder was the most dangerous. Countless resentful souls emerged from the dark thunder column, which were the resentful spirits of the Thousand-Faced Banyan tree that had been devoured in the past!
The emperor sighed, and the shadow of Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches, appeared in the tree core: "In the name of Hou Tu of the witch clan, I grant you rebirth!"
At the moment when the divine light shone everywhere and the evil spirits were purified, the last ray of chaotic thunder penetrated the heaven and earth.
Emperor Xin took the initiative to shatter the tree trunk, and the majestic Yi wood essence, along with a hundred years of cultivation, reshaped the human form in the thunder and fire!
At dawn, a man in green clothes walked out of the scorched earth.
His long hair hangs down to the ground like roots, his pupils are like whirlpools of tree rings, and when he waves his hand, the ground brings down rain and dead trees come back to life - this is the heart of the Witch Ancestor Emperor who proves his truth through wood!
Looking at the poisonous dragon shadow wrapped around his palm, he suddenly chuckled: "Old guys, you didn't kill me after all. Wait!"
With a light tap of the fingertips, the Pure Yang Mountain King that was hunting a hundred miles away suddenly stiffened, and thousands of poisonous flowers bloomed around its body!
"Wait for me to settle accounts with you!"
Chunyang Mountain King Big Tiger: "What? The first sword to become an immortal, I will first kill the benefactor who gave you the fate of feces? Is there justice? Is there any law? Will someone feed me peanuts?"
