Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 97: Broken Branches of Hibiscus
If you cannot leave the "Wuhuang Palace", you will not be able to accumulate merit and will die.

Leaving the "Wuhuang Palace" and losing the protection of Queen Wa would also be a dead end.

It was at this dilemma that Lu Ya, by some unknown chance, came into contact with two saints from the West.

When it comes to understanding the power of merit, no one in the world can compare with the two saints of the West.

After all, the two of them relied on the "art of great aspiration" to borrow countless merits from heaven and earth, eliminate the cause and effect of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and become saints.

Therefore, after getting in touch with the Two Saints of the West, Lu Ya decisively gave up the shelter that Di Jun had finally sought for him, chose to leave the "Wuhuang Palace" and become a disciple of the Two Saints of the West.

With the help of the Two Saints from the West, Lu Ya got rid of his demonic powers, turned to Buddhism, and became the famous "Mahavairocana" in Buddhism today.

As for the choice of Lu Ya, the "former crown prince", the demon clan was divided into two factions.

One side believed that Queen Wa was a saint who came from the demon clan after all, and that Lu Ya’s choice to betray Queen Wa and practice Buddhism was a betrayal of the demon clan, and they directly refused to acknowledge his identity as the prince of the demon clan.

The other side believes that Lu Ya's move was extremely brilliant.

After all, with the support of the two saints from the West, the current severe situation of the demon clan will be improved.

Therefore, a considerable number of demons that survived the "War of Liches and Wizards" joined Lu Ya's army, and this is exactly what the two saints of the West wanted to see.

Every demon who can survive the "War of Liches" is the elite among the elite.

With the addition of these elite members, the "Buddhism" became more famous and its strength increased greatly.

Afterwards, "Buddhism" relied on Lu Ya's identity to continuously devour the remaining power of the demon clan and strengthen itself.

The demon tribe is now so weak, and Buddhism plays a very important role in it.

At this moment, Li Yang looked up at the "Fusang Tree" towering into the sky in front of him, looking at the golden mulberry leaves on the tree crown and the twisted branches hidden among the countless leaves, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Right now, with his abilities, it would be impossible for him to take away the entire "Hibiscus Tree".

After all, even Lu Ya failed to accomplish this.

Li Yang didn't believe that Lu Ya left such a precious "Xiantian Fusang Tree" here because he didn't want to destroy this place.

However, Li Yang was unwilling to return empty-handed.

Since we can't take the whole tree away, it's okay to take some branches away.

It just so happened that Li Yang had been worried about the lack of materials to refine a divine bow that could match several "arrow embryos".

The "Fusang Tree" in front of you is an innate spiritual root, and it is differentiated from the top innate spiritual root "Fusang Divine Tree".

The branches of the "Fusang Tree" can be regarded as the world's top-level refining material, not to mention that its properties are perfectly matched with those of several "arrow embryos".

Now that there is an opportunity, Li Yang certainly doesn't want to let it go.

"Uh-huh!!!"

After a leap, Li Yang successfully reached the top of the "Fusang Tree" a moment later.

With a faint golden light in his eyes, Li Yang began to carefully look for branches with suitable shapes.

After a moment, Li Yang successfully selected a branch that was as thick as an adult's arm and slightly curved.

"Boom!!!"

Li Yang flashed in front of the branch, stretched out his hand, and a long spear with a silver-white body and countless star-like Taoist rhymes flowing on it appeared in his hand.

This spear is none other than the companion spiritual treasure of Emperor Gou Chen - the Gou Chen Spear.

With Li Yang's current level of cultivation, if he wants to cut the branches of the "Innate Fusang Tree", he can only borrow the power of the innate spiritual treasure.

The "Gou Chen Spear" is the most suitable one among the innate spiritual treasures owned by Li Yang.

"Ding ding ding..." As Li Yang's mind moved, the "Gou Chen Spear" began to shorten.

A moment later, a "sickle" with a slightly strange shape appeared in Li Yang's hand.

Then, Li Yang took the "sickle" and began to chop at the roots of the selected branches.

With each fall, a shallow mark would appear on the branch, and Li Yang's hands immediately waved more frequently and more forcefully.

The reason why Li Yang did not infuse the energy in his body into the "Gou Chen Spear" to activate it and thus exert greater power.

Instead, it simply relied on the blade of the "Gouchen Spear" to cut the branches little by little, because it was worried that after activating the "Gouchen Spear", the "Fusang Tree" would feel fatal danger and thus explode to save itself.

Li Yang has not forgotten the innate god who was burned to death by the "Fusang Sacred Tree".

Although the power of the "Fusang Tree" cannot be compared with that of the original body, it is enough to give Li Yang a hard time.

“Ding ding ding…”

After waving it thousands of times, Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the branches that had been cut in half and the "hibiscus tree" that was already stirring.

The next second, an extremely powerful aura suddenly burst out from the "Gouchen Spear" in his hand, and then Li Yang swung it down suddenly, cutting on the gap that had been cut before.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the entire branch broke away from the "Fusang Tree".

"boom!!!"

The branches were cut, and the sleeping "Hibiscus tree" woke up instantly, and then became furious, with its branches shaking and its leaves trembling.

In an instant, the entire sea of ​​fire began to riot and swept towards Li Yang.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Faced with such power, Li Yang did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately put away the cut branches.

In an instant, he released three pairs of dragon wings behind him and began to swing them with all his strength.

At the same time, he used his magical power of "controlling the wind" to control the power of the wind and escape at a high speed.

As Li Yang moved at full speed, his body shuttled through the sea of ​​fire like a flash of lightning.

Fortunately, the energy that makes up the sea of ​​fire is all extremely pure "innate solar energy", and Li Yang, who has integrated the "Great Sun Golden Crow Bloodline", has extremely strong resistance.

Otherwise, the moment the sea of ​​fire rioted, Li Yang would have been turned into ashes by the extremely yang energy.

However, although Li Yang's speed was fast, he was not able to cross the endless sea of ​​fire in an instant.

So, after a while, Li Yang was still caught in the wave of fire.

"clang!!!"

Looking at the "wave" that covered the sky in front of him, Li Yang had an idea and held the "Chaos Bell" on his head.

As a grand, dull bell rang, the shaking sea of ​​fire within a hundred miles of Liyang instantly subsided.

Of course, the fire wave sweeping in from the front also collapsed and disappeared into nothingness.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Feeling that most of the magic power in his body had been consumed, Li Yang did not dare to stop for a moment and waved the dragon wings behind him again.

While using the "Lian Tian Ding" to refine the "innate solar energy" stored in it to restore his magic power, he rushed to the sea of ​​fire.
