Mastering the Power of Life, Jiang Rou's Death

The Fengyu Dynasty is the dynasty where Feng Yirou, one of the original heroines, is located.

It is one of the upper - echelon forces in the ancient martial arts world.

The ruler of the dynasty, the Feather Emperor, is at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

However, in the original work, the Feather Emperor was assassinated and killed by Leng Qingqiu.

This led the Fengyu Dynasty to fall into endless panic, followed by internal power struggles.

As the eldest princess, Feng Yirou possesses the aura of the phoenix and can mobilize the national fortune of the entire Fengyu Dynasty.

In the end, she managed to turn the tide and became the first female emperor of the Fengyu Dynasty.

Later, there was also a crisis caused by demons, which involved Xiao Lin.

However, this is a plot that only appears in the later part of the original work.

Leng Bingning pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The Feather Emperor made a mistake while practicing the Phoenix Nine Heavens Skill, which caused his true qi to reverse and left him seriously injured."

"But it was publicly announced that the Feather Emperor had an epiphany and was in seclusion."

Speaking of this, Leng Bingning slightly shook her head and coldly said, "Even if his injury is cured, the indelible hidden injury will always remain in his body."

"He will never be able to advance beyond the late stage of the Grandmaster realm in his lifetime."

Gu Yan gave a soft laugh. "Good."

"Then, it's my turn to take action."

Just as described in the original work.

In order to reach the peak of the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, the Feather Emperor became overly obsessed during his cultivation and went mad.

With the hidden injury, he was assassinated and killed by Leng Qingqiu a few years later.

What Gu Yan wanted to do was not to bewitch the original heroines in the Fengyu Dynasty.

The person he wanted to bewitch was... the Feather Emperor of the Fengyu Dynasty!!

Swish!

A feather appeared in front of Gu Yan.

Inside it was the detailed information of the Abyss Annihilation Skill.

He planned to bewitch the Feather Emperor into practicing it and then have him spread the Abyss Annihilation Skill throughout the entire dynasty.

One would teach ten, and ten would teach a hundred.

When the time was right and the fruits were ripe, it would be the time for him, Gu Yan, to reap the harvest!!

"Let's start the operation, my dear sister."

The feather landed in Leng Bingning's palm.

Looking at the feather in her hand, the latter said something seemingly unrelated, "You haven't gone to see my sister for a month."

"This..."

Gu Yan was taken aback, and then said helplessly, "I just didn't have the time."

"Humph, I hope it's just because you're busy."

"Ouch, Sister Qingqiu, if it weren't for these troublesome things, do you think I don't want to be with Qingqiu every day?"

"Don't underestimate my love for Qingqiu!"

"...... Crazy."

Whoosh!

Two black holes appeared, and the figures of Gu Yan and Leng Bingning disappeared from this place respectively.

...

...

The Third Forbidden Area.

The once vibrant Third Forbidden Area had now become filled with deathly stillness.

Dense hands covered 99% of the ground.

The only piece of unpolluted pure land was the towering ancient giant tree.

Gu Yan's true form was sitting on the dark clouds. Besides the black smoke around his body, there was also a green life - giving aura.

In his spiritual sea, two forces were constantly chasing each other.

One was the Power of Night, and the other was the Power of Life.

The Power of Night could devour all things, even the power of the forbidden area, which was something Zhua Zhua couldn't do.

As time passed, the green Power of Life seemed to show signs of fatigue.

The next second, hum!

The Power of Night approached the Power of Life. It was like a ferocious beast that had caught its prey and instantly devoured the Power of Life.

At the same time.

Outside.

Boom!

A dazzling dark - green light emitted from Gu Yan's body.

The powerful aura made his body slowly float, and the dark - green aura spread from the clouds to the ground below.

Gurgle!

A terrifying scene occurred.

The originally withered trees, after being covered and polluted by the dark - green aura...

Actually came back to life again! But different from normal trees, the color of these trees and plants was not only a strange black, and...

Each of them seemed to have come to life and began to emerge from the ground. Their roots were twisted, like countless tentacles searching for prey.

The branches and leaves of these trees were no longer green but a deep black, emitting an ominous luster.

They swayed in the air, making a rustling sound.

In the sky.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and a dark - green streamer was swirling in his pupils.

This was... the Power of Life after being devoured by the Power of Night.

He felt it slightly and then stretched out his palm. A wisp of illusory dark - green energy appeared in the center of his palm.

Gu Yan understood this power.

Any life covered and absorbed by this power would be polluted into a new type of demon and would be immortal!!

"Heh, it's still a little short."

Gu Yan slightly curled the corner of his mouth. Floating in the air, he clenched his fist into a ball.

Boom!

The powerful Power of Life immediately scattered and quickly polluted the land.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Countless polluted creatures emerged from the ground.

His gaze fell on the ancient giant tree in the distance.

That was the only unpolluted area in this forbidden land.

Gu Yan had already realized that this giant tree was the physical manifestation of the power of this forbidden land.

As long as he devoured this tree, he could perfectly master the power of living beings!

However, to devour it, he needed to break through the restriction of living beings formed by the gathered power of living beings around the area of the big tree!

Previously, Gu Yan would have been unable to do so.

But now.

Since the forbidden area had been continuously devoured.

Gu Yan's power of living beings far exceeded that of the Tree of Living Beings.

So...

He slowly raised his finger and pointed forward. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he shouted in a low voice, "Break!"

Boom!

In an instant.

Countless black giant hands emerged from the ground, hissing!

Like venomous snakes, they rushed towards the restriction of the power of living beings.

In addition, countless polluted creatures also obeyed the order and rushed towards the restriction of living beings without hesitation!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The polluted creatures were burned to a pool of black blood the moment they rushed towards the smooth restriction.

However, the black blood adhered to the restriction halo, constantly polluting and corroding the restriction!

Meanwhile.

Inside the big tree.

There was a small world here.

However, at this moment, this world was on the verge of collapse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless dark - green ghostly auras spread into this place.

Bai Jun was also among them.

He had finished his treatment here. When he sensed this kind of aura, he immediately sat up and said, "No! That monster outside is about to break in."

These days, he had known that the No. 3 forbidden land was having its vitality devoured by the giant hands extending from the dark clouds outside.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

"Are we going to die?"

"Mom... I'm so scared."

This world was inside the Tree of Living Beings. The creatures here were all under the care of the Tree of Living Beings.

So they all had more or less some characteristics of demons.

In the outside world, they were called... half - demons.

Whoosh!

At this time.

A ray of light appeared, followed by weak coughing sounds.

"Cough... cough..."

"Children... go quickly... I can't hold on any longer."

"I already know who the fierce demon outside is... It's the Night King... The Night King has broken in here."

"Run! I'll use my last strength... to teleport you to the secular world!"

"Then, you can use your own power to conceal your true appearance and survive!"

"Survive, children!"

Everyone looked towards the ancient tree trunk in the middle of the small world.

They saw that on what should have been an ordinary big tree, there appeared facial features similar to a human figure.

However, everyone could sense the exhaustion from it.

Hearing this, Bai Jun's expression changed.

He clenched his fists and said, "The Night King?"

The Night King... was actually here?!

The others also rushed to the bottom of the tree trunk and shouted, "Grandpa Tree!"

"Grandpa Tree!"

"We won't leave! We can't leave you behind!"

Everyone shouted with sobs.

Each of them had died once and had survived thanks to the Tree of Living Beings.

The Tree of Living Beings sighed softly.

It activated its last power. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless vines extended out and directly tied up the living beings here.

A burst of halos appeared. This was... the power of spatial teleportation!

"Grandpa Tree!"

"Woo!"

Suddenly.

Boom!

A loud noise came.

The aura of the Tree of Living Beings became even weaker. It said weakly, "Go quickly... My power can only allow ten more people to leave... If you don't go now... you'll really have to stay with this old man."

After these words were spoken.

Bai Jun immediately looked at the number of vines that had appeared.

Suddenly... his eyes widened in shock.

Because... there was one short.

On Jiang Rou's side, her expression also became very complicated when she heard this.

The Night King... had actually come to the forbidden land?

So those black giant hands before were all created by the Night King?

Thinking of this.

Jiang Rou gradually clenched her fists. She looked at Bai Jun with a complicated expression and said, "Bai Jun, go quickly."

"I'm already a half - demon. Even if I go back, I won't be recognized by others."

"But it's different for you. You're still young and have a bright future..."

"Bai Jun, go quickly. As long as you grab the living vines of Grandpa Tree, you can be teleported back to the secular world."

Hearing this, Bai Jun would definitely not agree. He grabbed Jiang Rou's hand and shouted loudly, "What are you talking about!"

"I won't leave! We'll leave together if we leave at all!"

"I have a high position in the department. Even if you're half - demons, I'll make everyone accept and understand you!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Rou was very touched.

She had been very afraid that Bai Jun would have strange views on her current half - human, half - beast appearance.

But now it seemed...

However, precisely because of this, Jiang Rou had to make Bai Jun live.

Whoosh!

A vine appeared in front of the two of them.

"Bai Jun, hurry!"

"Grab the vine quickly!"

Bai Jun immediately looked at Jiang Rou.

But the latter just shook her head and said softly, "There aren't enough vines for everyone to leave."

"Moreover... I'm already a person who has died once."

"So..."

Whoosh!

Jiang Rou flapped her wings and slowly lifted off the ground. She gently slapped forward, and vines wrapped around Bai Jun.

"What!? Jiang Rou!"

Bai Jun was stunned and shouted in disbelief at Jiang Rou flying high into the sky.

At this moment, the Tree of Life weakly roared, "Young Master Bai! I can only hold on for a minute at most. I want to entrust these children to you here!"

"Young Master Bai! Protect them well! Don't let them be captured by the department...."

However.

As soon as the words fell.

A terrifying tearing sound came from above.

"Cough!!!"

Half of the Tree of Life's body instantly withered. He murmured in disbelief in a low voice, "What!?"

The forbidden barrier... actually shattered!!!

Immediately afterwards.

A strange, multi - layered voice as if from the abyss came from all directions.

"One minute?"

"Ridiculous."

"You don't even have... the time of a single breath."

As the voice faded.

Everyone saw a scene that left them stunned.

The giant tree in the sky was torn apart.

The overcast sky outside was revealed.

Above their heads, there were densely packed... black hands.

The sheer number made everyone's scalps tingle.

Above the clouds.

A long - haired figure in a black robe stood there. People couldn't see his face clearly.

But they could feel the surging malice emanating from him.

He raised his hand and gently pressed down.

His voice was cold and indifferent as he said, "I want the power of life."

As the words fell.

Boom boom boom!!!

Like vengeful ghosts.

A deluge of black giant hands shot down from the sky!!!

Splat splat splat!!!

Even though he was wrapped in vines, it was still too late to transfer.

Countless blood splashes burst out around.

Countless screams echoed in Bai Jun's ears.

He stood below, looking up blankly at the black - robed figure standing on the clouds in the sky.

Was this the Night King they had always wanted to defeat...?

"Bai Jun!"

A panicked voice suddenly came from the side.

Immediately afterwards.

Splat!!!

Thud!

Blood splashed on Bai Jun's face. He suddenly turned his head.

He saw...

His childhood sweetheart, Jiang Rou...

"Ah..."

A black hand protruded from her chest.

Gurgle gurgle!!!

"Ba... Bai Jun..."

Jiang Rou looked at Bai Jun tenderly. Bloodstains slid down from the corner of her mouth. She gasped and intermittently finished her last words.

"I... actually..."

"I like you the most..."

Bang!

As the words fell.

Right in front of Bai Jun, Jiang Rou... instantly turned into a mist of blood.

Thud!!!

Bai Jun knelt on the ground in a daze.

"Ah..."

Everything happened so suddenly that Bai Jun didn't have time to react.

But the smell of blood in his nose and the warm feeling on his face kept reminding Bai Jun.

Jiang Rou... was dead.....!

Above the clouds.

After doing all this, Gu Yan calmly looked at Bai Jun and said indifferently,

"You're next."

Boom!

Countless black hands rushed towards Bai Jun following Gu Yan's words.

But the latter ignored them. His mind... had gone completely blank.

And just at this critical moment.

"Young Master Bai!!! Run quickly!!!"

The Tree of Life unleashed its last bit of strength and activated the transfer formation on the remaining living beings.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Jun and the few remaining half - demons were teleported away.

And the Tree of Life... completely lost its power and had no possibility of resistance.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yan didn't stop them. He turned his gaze to the Tree of Life.

He stepped down from the sky step by step, and the clouds created steps for him as he walked.

"Why... didn't you make a move..."

The Tree of Life looked at Gu Yan approaching step by step and gasped.

It had already noticed... that Gu Yan had deliberately let those people escape just now.

Hearing this, Gu Yan walked up to the Tree of Life and slowly said, "Because... I don't want to make a move."

Don't... want to make a move.

The Tree of Life didn't have time to savor these words carefully.

The next second.

Splat! Splat!

Countless hands pierced into the Tree of Life's body.

The last part of the power of life... was also in Gu Yan's grasp.

He... had completely mastered the power of life and also grasped a bit of... the power of the forbidden area!!!

Feeling the power surging in his body.

Gu Yan slightly curled the corner of his mouth. It was time to go back.
