Chapter 518: Treading the Tree King

The dust rose thousands of meters high, as if it were about to engulf the entire earth. It was hard to imagine how powerful Yang Jian's impact was.

Qin Jun clenched his fists nervously, hoping that Yang Jian wouldn't disappoint him.

Yang Jian was not only the ace in dealing with the King of Demons, but also the sharp blade against the Night Emperor!

The earth trembled violently, and countless ghostly voices suddenly rang out.

"Ah! Save me..."

"Devil... let me die..."

"Ah! Why do you treat us like this? It's unfair!"

These wails made Qin Jun and the others' scalps tingle, especially Liu Ruolai, who cowered behind Qin Jun and dared not look.

Qin Jun felt a pang in his heart. If it weren't for them, the people of this city would probably not have survived. It was likely that the domain lord of Dongyan would try to suppress the spread of this incident, because the King of Demons was too powerful!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Terrifying tree vines, each with a diameter of about twenty feet, emerged from the dust, resembling countless dragons churning, causing Qin Jun to raise his guard again, fearing being entangled.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Yang Jian's cold shout suddenly resounded, and then his figure began to rise, breaking through the dust. In the disbelieving expression of Liu Ruolai, Yang Jian's figure quickly surpassed them, towering thousands of feet high, causing Qin Jun and the others to look up in awe.

At the towering height of thousands of feet, Yang Jian stood tall, bending over and grabbing a tree vine, pulling it upwards. In an instant, the earth shook.

"Get up for me!"

Yang Jian roared angrily, grabbing the tree vine with one hand, intending to pull up the King of Demons hidden underground. His terrifying strength as a fleshly saint caused the King of Demons to be slowly pulled up from the ground.

This scene made Qin Jun and the others unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Qin Jun couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Is Yang Jian really only at the late stage of the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm?"

"Not only that, like Sun Wukong, Yang Jian has vast magical powers and a strong physical body, capable of fighting beyond his level. At his peak, Yang Jian can even contend with the strong in the Great Luo realm!" the system explained.

Great Luo realm!

Qin Jun's body trembled. In his previous life, he had heard a lot about the Great Luo realm, with the most common being the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the strong in this world's Great Luo realm could trigger the descendants to produce holy aura. For example, the Chen Shuli he had encountered before, although his talent in cultivating immortality was not great, he possessed a righteous aura and had now entered the service of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, with his rapid promotion astonishing many officials.

Now, hearing that Yang Jian was equivalent to the legendary strong in the Great Luo realm, how could Qin Jun not be excited?

Boom!

Yang Jian pulled the King of Demons out, and Qin Jun and the others looked down, all taking a cold breath.

The King of Demons was thousands of feet tall, resembling a majestic primordial tree. Its upper body was human-shaped, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female. Its lower body was made of tree roots, with countless branches. Its hands had also turned into countless tree branches, and upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these branches were hanging with numerous corpses of all ages and genders. Most of the bodies had already turned into mummies, extremely horrifying.

Looking around, the scene was so horrifying that it was unbearable to watch.

Qin Jun gritted his teeth, especially at the desperate and painful expressions on those bodies, which tore at his heart.

"Damn it, this demon is too vicious!" Liu Ruolai covered her face with both hands, peeking through her fingers. The scene below was like hell, making her shudder.

Jin Chanzi sat cross-legged on a cloud, constantly chanting scriptures.

Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he wanted to help Yang Jian, but the aura of the King of Demons made him shiver, and he dared not make a move.

The King of Demons opened its mouth and said in a chilling tone, "Dare to disturb my peace, and I will suck your soul dry, making you unable to seek life or death!"

As it spoke, dozens of tree vines, like dragons, attacked Yang Jian, who was thousands of feet tall, towering over the King of Demons by a large margin. He wielded the War God's Trident and smashed it down.

Boom!

The War God's Trident fell on the trunk of the King of Demons, with great force, as if it could split mountains and seas.

The ground within a radius of ten miles collapsed instantly, and the dust rose, as if it were about to engulf the entire world.

The strong wind blew Qin Jun and the others, causing them to sway in the air. In the face of such immense power, they were like leaves in a storm, small and fragile.

"Monster, you slaughter the human race, and your crimes are unforgivable. Today, I, on behalf of the Holy Emperor, will destroy you!"

Yang Jian opened his third eye, the Eye of Breaking Evil, and at this moment, he once again assumed the imposing stance of the Heavenly Court's judicial war god, exuding unparalleled majesty that sent shivers down the spines of demons.

Qin Jun's blood boiled as he shouted, "Yang Jian, show no mercy and make it disappear completely!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yang Jian laughed loudly, then raised the War God's Trident with one hand. The scene seemed frozen in time as he faced the evil and terrifying King Luo Shu, appearing like a war god.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, both cultivators and demons passing by could see, leaving them wide-eyed and frightened.

"Who is that? Am I seeing things?"

"Is he a god? How tall is he?"

"Is that tree demon the legendary King Luo Shu, the largest demon in the Endless Territory?"

"My goodness! What have we encountered today?"

Although the Endless Territory was dangerous, it was also a paradise for the strong, where they could obtain what they desired and satisfy their desire for battle. However, upon seeing Yang Jian and King Luo Shu, even the strongest cultivators trembled in fear, some even feeling the urge to turn and leave.

Swish! Swish! Swish...

In the blink of an eye, King Luo Shu swiftly used vines to bind Yang Jian's waist and limbs, but it was still unable to stop his movements.

As the blade fell, the entire world seemed to suddenly tremble.

The heavens and earth shattered, as if doomsday had arrived!

The War God's Trident struck King Luo Shu's head, causing him to let out a piercing scream that could be heard tens of thousands of miles away, even catching the attention of the Night Emperor who was flying rapidly in the sky.

"This is..."

The Night Emperor frowned and muttered to himself, subconsciously looking in the direction of Qin Jun and the others. If he hadn't misheard, the scream just now came from King Luo Shu.

He really wanted to fly over and take a look, but he understood that the battle was far away from him, and it was more important to expel the Eastern Domain Lord.

"Could it be that another mysterious powerhouse has entered the Endless Territory?"

The Night Emperor thought with a headache, then continued flying in the original direction.

On the other side, Yang Jian pinned King Luo Shu to the ground, his face full of disdain as he said, "Late-stage Taiyi Xuanxian realm, your strength is indeed outstanding, but unfortunately, you've encountered me!"

Arrogant and domineering!

It seemed as if he had forgotten that he was only at the peak of the Taiyi Sanxian realm just yesterday.

"Who are you... who are you!"

King Luo Shu screamed shrilly, causing Qin Jun to break out in goosebumps.

The demon's voice seemed as if tens of thousands of people were screaming together, making it very uncomfortable for anyone to hear.
