Chapter 1018 Trouble (2/2)

Yi Yan stood in the air. His usually kind and gentle eyes had been replaced by a ferocious look as he cast his gaze toward the giant camp. Killing intent rose in the air around him.

“Hehe, elder Yi Yan, why have you guys come here so menacingly? Are you planning on forcing a decisive battle onto us?” Loud laughter sounded from the alliance army camp. Space rippled as eight figures walked out. From their Genesis Qi undulations, they were clearly experts that had stepped into the Nascent Source stage!

The speaker was an elder in yellow robes standing at the front of the group.

Yi Yan gazed indifferently at the yellow-robed elder and said, “Old devil Xu Mou, I heard you guys found the Heavenly Fire Tree King.”

The yellow-robed elder called Xu Mou chuckled and replied, “Elder Yi’s information network is very efficient.”

He was evidently not surprised that Yi Yan had found out since he had no intention of hiding this matter.

When Xu Mou did not deny it, Yi Yan’s heart sank a little. To think that the alliance army had really found the Heavenly Fire Tree King...that was something that even grand elder Mu Ni had failed to achieve.

Such a mythical existence would bring about tremendous benefits in the right hands. This was why they had not hesitated to mobilize the entire army the moment they caught wind of the news. Once it was confirmed, they would need to start the battle immediately.

If they delayed too long, the other side would be able to bring out enough of the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power to put them at an absolute disadvantage.

Rather than wait till the other side had enough power to steamroll over them, it would be better to take a chance now and snatch away the Heavenly Fire Tree King.

Yi Yan asked with a dark expression, “How did you guys find the Heavenly Fire Tree King? I highly doubt that the Law Domain experts of your five factions are that capable.”

Xu Mou leisurely answered, “There’s no need for you to worry about such matters.”

As Xu Mou looked toward the Tianyuan Region army behind Yi Yan, his smile turned a little strange. “But elder Yi Yan, you still dared to attack with your full force despite clearly knowing about the Heavenly Fire Tree King. Aren’t you afraid of sending yourselves into a trap?”

“If you guys were really able to utilize the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power, you guys should be the ones attacking.” Yi Yan sneered.

Although Yi Yan did not have a deep understanding of the Heavenly Fire Tree King, he had once heard grand elder Mu Ni say that it was a mythical natural existence that absorbed Genesis Qi to grow. It possessed tremendous power but did not have a complete consciousness. It could only act on instinct to avoid danger and seek fortune.

Without a special method, it would be difficult to use the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power even if one obtained it.

Xu Mou was slightly taken aback. Soon after, he laughed and said, “Hehe, elder Yi Yan is so discerning. You’re right. The Heavenly Fire Tree King is extremely troublesome, making it very difficult to utilize all of its power. After researching for so many days, we’ve only managed to obtain a small portion...

“But I believe that this small portion should give you guys a big surprise.

“Haha, we originally intended to let you guys have a taste after refining it for a few more days, but since you’re in such a rush to die, we will naturally oblige…”

Xu Mou raised his hand.

Rumble!

A rumble sounded from the camp as a tower broke out from the ground and swiftly rose into the sky. The tower looked as if it were made from crystal, and countless cryptic runes had been carved into it.

Amidst countless bewildered gazes, the runes on the crystal tower suddenly flickered then shot out numerous beams of light.

However, the beams of light did not shoot toward the Tianyuan Region army but instead shone on the bodies of Xu Mou, the other Nascent Source experts and the numerous Heavenly Sun experts.

Rumble!

Yi Yan’s expression sank as he felt the Genesis Qi in their bodies begin to rise.

Xu Mou had never beaten Yi Yan. However, Yi Yan could now feel a dangerous sensation from Xu Mou’s body.

In the shadows nearby, Zhou Yuan sighed as he watched. He knew that the situation was going to become rather troublesome...
