Western Desert Western Sea Area, inside the Poison Island.
With the sudden collapse of Void Evil Manifesting Saints, a rare look of shock appeared on the face of the Demon Soul.
"What was that ability just now, even the Void Evil Manifesting Saints was broken open in such a short moment!"
The Demon Soul could feel that as the Glazed Glass Branches pierced into the body of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, a surge of extremely dense vitality seemed to flood in.
Subsequently, the evil fire energy that formed the Void Evil Manifesting Saints began to burn and expand at countless times its usual speed, dissolving instantly once the energy was depleted!
And the Demon Soul had no more time to think, as the disappearance of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints left it exposed before numerous Glazed Glass Branches.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh...!"
The sound of air being cut rang out, and over ten Glazed Glass Branches, without pause, flashed with green light and struck at the Demon Soul.
The Demon Soul’s eyes narrowed, surrounded by the Returning Ruins Divine Wind, it was about to employ ten times acceleration to withdraw.
Just then, a swift and fierce black Sword Qi arrived, slicing the many branches apart; it was Su Yuan making his move!
Seeing this, the golden light of the Divine Wind around the Demon Soul brightened, still initiating ten times acceleration.
However, the Demon Soul did not retreat but instead took advantage of the confusion caused by the Void Sword Qi among the Glazed Glass Branches, transforming into a streak of golden light heading towards the trunk of the Glazed Tree!
Meanwhile, Su Yuan, with a flash of silver light, also teleported to the other side of the Glazed Tree!
The Demon Soul wielding the divine seal of wind and fire, and Su Yuan with the Divine Break Sword Light on his sword, both the Divine Prohibition and Divine Break were ready in an instant, targeting the Glazed Tree!
Under ten times acceleration, there was almost no reaction time; in an instant, the Demon Soul already pressed the Divine Prohibition upon the Glazed Tree.
Golden fire shackles suddenly shot out, covering the entire Glazed Tree.
Following closely, Su Yuan’s Divine Break Sword Light also severed the main trunk of the Glazed Tree!
In a moment, Su Yuan felt a rather strong resistance, and his spiritual power plummeted rapidly.
But the Divine Break is a legendary skill, as long as it hits, the Three Suns Realm might be ambiguous, yet the Chongyang Realm definitely couldn’t withstand it!
A black line appeared, the Glazed Tree hesitated slightly before being cut by the Divine Break Sword Light, "boom" collapsing to the side.
Both Su Yuan and the Demon Soul’s eyes lit up: "It’s cut!"
Facing a legendary Demon Plant of Chongyang level, Su Yuan gave it full respect.
Combining forces with the Demon Soul Avatar, using both the Divine Prohibition and Divine Break, forming a combo of two legendary skills, could be said to be Su Yuan’s strongest preemptive kill so far!
It was simply because the Divine Wind was with the Demon Soul and not using the Oath of Returning Ruins.
At this moment, Su Yuan focused intently on the fallen Glazed Tree and the lower half of the main trunk where the Star Core was located.
The upper half of the Glazed Tree showed no activity, but at the cut-off point of the lower half of the trunk, plant cells were wildly dividing and growing, even trying to regenerate and reconnect with the upper half, yet firmly restrained by the forbidden effect of Divine Break.
However, although regeneration was impossible at the cut, numerous Glazed Glass Branches were still growing rapidly around the lower half of the trunk!
"Truly astonishing vitality!" Su Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
If it were any other Demon Plant, such as the prior Ancient Thorn Tree or Black Leaf Tree, being severed at the main trunk by the Divine Prohibition would likely lead to a quick death, yet this Glazed Tree was still full of vitality, exuding intense life force.
If not for the Divine Break, dealing with this tree would indeed be extremely tricky!
But now wasn’t the time for lamenting.
Facing the frenziedly growing Glazed Glass Branches, Su Yuan immediately unleashed the Star Dominator, continuously wielding Void Sword Qi.
Although the hardness of the Glazed Glass Branches meant they couldn’t be cut off in one strike, it was enough to fend them off.
Perhaps due to the trunk being severed, these Glazed Glass Branches were noticeably weaker in both strength and speed than before, unable to pose any threat to Su Yuan.
Meanwhile, the Demon Soul wasn’t idle either, releasing the Undead Evil Fire to engulf the fallen upper half of the tree, intending to burn it to ashes.
Since the trunk was severed and could not reconnect or regenerate, the light upon the Glazed Tree dimmed further and further...
After stubbornly holding out for a while longer, the Glazed Glass Branches eventually drooped powerlessly, and then ceased all movement.
"Is it resolved..." Su Yuan slightly exhaled a breath.
Although this tree was a legendary Demon Plant of the Chongyang Realm, he decisively used two legendary skills, and essentially gave it no chance to showcase its strength, executing a preemptive strike to kill it.
Su Yuan swung the Demon Saber to slice open the lower half of the trunk, skillfully extracting the Star Core.
This was a glaze-colored Star Core, adorned with some exquisite patterns, arguably the most beautiful Star Core Su Yuan had ever seen.
Moreover, different from previous Star Cores, this one gave Su Yuan a distinct feeling...
"It seems... quite fresh?"
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered; indeed, this Star Core felt very "fresh."
Due to the Star Dust System, Su Yuan had already seen thousands upon thousands of Star Cores.
From Star Apprentice to Burning Sun, from ordinary to legendary...
But not a single Star Core gave Su Yuan this kind of feeling, completely devoid of the sediment of time within.
"Could it be because of its exceptionally strong vitality?"
Su Yuan pondered briefly but shook his head fruitlessly and, with a thought, immediately used the Star Dust System to inspect this legendary Star Core.
Leveraging the skill extraction function of the Star Dust System, Su Yuan could indirectly read some basic information about the unknown Star Core, including its name and skills.
At this moment, however, Su Yuan’s expression changed slightly.
Su Yuan gazed at the Star Core in his hand, strangely unable to use the Star Dust System to view this Star Core’s information?
This was something that had never happened before!
In a flash, a torrent of thoughts rushed through Su Yuan’s mind.
It was possible that this Star Core itself was special. After all, it had just given him a very "fresh" feeling, perhaps it had some unique quality different from typical Star Cores;
It was also possible that the quality of the Chongyang Realm’s legendary Star Core was too high, leading the system to fail in distinguishing it;
It was even slightly possible that there was an issue with the system.
But among these many possibilities, Su Yuan immediately thought of the worst one...
"Is this Demon Plant... not dead yet?!"
Su Yuan’s pupils shrank suddenly, about to throw away this beautiful glazed Star Core.
Yet at this moment, the Star Core burst forth with Green Light, and a large number of plant fibers performed super speed regeneration, instantly piercing Su Yuan’s palm!
It happened so suddenly, even Su Yuan couldn’t react in time.
Both Demon Soul and Ruan Ruan exclaimed in surprise.
Su Yuan grabbed the Demon Saber with his other hand and slashed at the Star Core with a single stroke!
But the Star Core’s plant cells were also growing at super speed, and a glazed branch suddenly shot out to block Su Yuan’s slashing Demon Saber.
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, about to make further moves, but suddenly he detected a flow of energy coursing from his palm into his arm!
In the next moment, Su Yuan’s right hand seemed to mutate, swelling up and even spreading towards his body!
"What strong vitality... my body cells are dividing and growing uncontrollably!"
Su Yuan’s heart trembled slightly, attempting to utilize the Star Power within to resist, but the opponent’s Chongyang Realm Star Power was even stronger. That energy quickly surged up his shoulder, spreading towards his chest and head!
In a spark of quick thinking, Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and he directly sliced into his shoulder with a reverse stroke, severing his arm before a flash of Silver Light enabled an instant teleportation to retreat!
The Demon Soul was ruthless, immediately interweaving gold fire on its twin blades to strike.
Meanwhile, the Star Core fell to the ground and, in just a few breaths, had already regrown into a segment of Qingmu rooted in the ground, meeting the Demon Soul without fear with more and more branches springing forth!
At the back, although Su Yuan had disengaged, as that rich surge of energy permeated, the division and rampant growth of his internal cells were almost uncontrollable, with large swellings, bulges, and even some beginning to mutate!
Su Yuan’s face turned pale, moaning involuntarily under the intense and severe pain.
"Master! Master!" Ruan Ruan on his shoulder was so anxious that it was almost crying but didn’t know how to help.
Without hesitation, Su Yuan activated Time Reversal, his trump card for survival.
Golden Light surged, and his swollen and bulging flesh receded in high-speed retrospection as if a movie was playing in reverse, with his severed right hand regrowing.
His body returned to normal, but Su Yuan’s face was quite grim.
This time, he actually got played!
With cold eyes, Su Yuan looked up, as the Qingmu in front of him rapidly shot up, branches quickly stretching out and, in no time, had grown to the scale of the former Glazed Tree, completely resurrected!
But that wasn’t all... The Green Light within the Glazed Tree grew increasingly intense, with an extremely strong vitality, the immense trunk soon pressed against the top of the Earth Cave and yet still continued its frenetic growth!
Until finally, the Green Light shot skyward, with the Glazed Tree unexpectedly piercing through the Earth Cave, reaching up to the surface of the island!
