After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 804 The Power of Thunder Magic: One Sword Destroys a Tree!
“Cultivation is not easy. Wouldn’t it be better for such a fine spiritual plant to stay in the mountains? Why do you have to get involved in this mess?” Chen Yang didn’t approach, but stood on the courtyard wall and shouted at the camphor tree.

Inside the temple, the dozen or so men heard the noise and realized that someone had arrived. They each took out their weapons and looked around.

It took a while before they noticed Chen Yang standing on the courtyard wall.

The moon appeared behind Chen Yang, its light casting a silhouette on the courtyard wall, adding to the mystery.

The men immediately surrounded them, but they weren't fools; they all sensed danger from Chen Yang, so they just kept a distance and didn't dare to get close.

Chen Yang glanced at them. "And you're dragging innocent people into this?"

He couldn't be bothered to even look at a bunch of small fry.

"Are they innocent? People die for money, birds die for food."

The camphor tree responded calmly, then said, "What deep-seated hatred do you have with the Li family that warrants this?"

"This has nothing to do with you. If I were you, I would leave now, flee to the mountains and forests, and hide as far away as possible."

Chen Yang's voice was equally calm, "Otherwise, I'll chop you up and use you as firewood!"

"Ah."

The camphor tree seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "What an arrogant young man! Do you really think you can be my match?"

If it were a Dao Realm cultivator, it would actually be somewhat wary, but Chen Yang was only at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, yet he dared to dream of killing it, truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

"How about giving it a try?"

Chen Yang pointed his longsword diagonally, showing no fear whatsoever.

He is not without cards to play.

"ridiculous."

The camphor tree chuckled, "As you wish."

The branches shook, and dozens of camphor fruits shot out instantly, heading straight for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang summoned his primordial spirit, and a wave of energy rippled out.

"Boom bang bang..."

The camphor berries exploded more than 20 meters away from Chen Yang.

The fruit released a large amount of white mist, which quickly enveloped the surrounding area.

The men didn't have time to dodge and were quickly engulfed by the white mist.

Plop, plop...

One by one, they fell to the ground, but it was impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive.

Chen Yang held his breath, but the smell still entered his nostrils.

It has a faint fragrance, like mothballs, which is a bit pungent and makes you feel dizzy.

A wisp of fragrant saliva rose from Chen Yang's mouth as he circulated his true energy, quickly dispelling the discomfort.

"Ding! SS-level spiritual plant [Camphor Wood] detected. Encyclopedia unlocked. Reward: [Premium Camphor Ball] *1. The item has been placed in the system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

Item: Premium Camphor Balls

"Description: It can continuously release a unique fragrance and has a great killing effect on snakes, insects and rodents below SS level."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Quest: Hunt SS-grade spiritual plant [Camphor Tree], progress (0/1)."

Reward: Sword Offering Stone *1

……

"You're unaffected by my fruity aroma?"

Seeing that Chen Yang was still standing steadily on the wall, the camphor tree was clearly a little surprised.

This fruit is not very toxic under normal conditions. Even if you eat it, you will only feel dizzy and uncomfortable for a while. But once it bursts open, the juice will come into contact with the air and form a toxic mist.

This poisonous fog is so potent that if an ordinary person were to inhale it even once, they would immediately experience a splitting headache, followed by fainting, a complete loss of consciousness, or even death. Even those with cultivation levels would inevitably suffer from mental derangement.

The key is that the smell is so strong that you can't hold your breath if you try.

This kid was clearly engulfed in toxic smoke, yet he acted like nothing had happened; he's definitely got some skills.

"That's all?"

Chen Yang said calmly, "Then it's time to watch my performance."

He naturally possessed a constitution that resisted toxins, and given that he had known the Li family had such a powerful figure, how could he not have made preparations in advance?

Yesterday afternoon, he found a pill called "Anti-Poison Pill" in the "Poison Classic" and, under the guidance of the Three Corpse Divine Tree, refined several pills.

While this medicine isn't very effective against the most notorious poisons on the list of rare poisons, it is clearly effective against camphor poisoning.

Holding the antidote pill under my tongue, my mind became inexplicably clear.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yang leaped down from the wall, activated his golden body, and charged towards the camphor tree with his sword.

At the same time, a large number of bone-eating beetles were released and swarmed towards the dandelion grove outside the yard.

With him keeping the camphor tree in check, the bone-eating beetles could easily devour even a swarm of dandelions.

Although it is a spiritual plant, the bone-eating beetle is never picky about its food.

"Buzzing..."

Large swarms of bone-eating beetles quickly overwhelmed the dandelion colony.

"How dare you!"

The camphor tree roared angrily, waving its branches, and leaves flew like blades, hurtling towards Chen Yang.

"Kengkengkengkeng..."

Leaves struck Chen Yang's body, producing a faint metallic clanging sound, and his clothes were quickly torn to shreds.

Chen Yang, his body shimmering with golden light, wielding the Crimson Cloud sword, rapidly approached despite the pressure.

"Buzz!"

He was only ten meters away from the camphor tree when it suddenly released a powerful pressure from its primordial spirit, trying to stop him from getting closer.

Late stage of Dao Zhen Realm.

The power of the primordial spirit is indeed strong. Chen Yang felt a sudden jolt in his heart, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. The difference in the strength of the primordial spirit between the two was enormous.

"Humph!"

Chen Yang let out a muffled groan. The Three Corpse Divine Tree and the Five Thunder True Man attacked simultaneously, and together with Chen Yang, the three of them merged their primordial spirit energies into one place.

"boom!"

The camphor tree's primordial spirit pressure was instantly torn open.

Chen Yang immediately broke free from the opening, quickly arrived at the tree, and with a sword already poised, slashed straight at the tree trunk.

"Keng!"

However, a tree branch lashed out at Chen Yang. Just as the sword was about to strike the tree, the camphor wood branch struck Chen Yang's shoulder first.

The immense force sent Chen Yang staggering back several steps.

The late stage of the Dao True Realm is indeed extraordinary. This reaction speed is incomparable to that of the Creation Realm, and also to that Dao True Realm thatch from before.

Its strength is indeed considerable.

Chen Yang steadied himself, and the Taotie Gu within his body released a massive amount of energy.

With his true essence pushed to its limit, Chen Yang immediately summoned his golden body dharma form.

A golden phantom nearly three meters tall enveloped his true form.

A giant sword appeared in the golden-bodied Dharma image's hand.

The Mountain-Suppressing Sword!
Although his golden body is nearly three meters tall, the mountain-suppressing sword, which is more than ten feet long, still appears a bit too long in his hands.

However, it looks even more imposing.

Chen Yang charged toward the camphor tree again, wielding the Crimson Sky Sword, and slashed at the tree trunk once more. At the same time, the Golden Body Dharma Image also wielded the Mountain-Suppressing Sword, fiercely slashing at the tree trunk.

The blade of the Zhenshan Sword was quickly covered with a dense layer of frost.

At the same time, the ambient temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Kenshin!

The sword's core energy was also being exerted.

Chen Yang was overjoyed and swung his sword even more vigorously.

"Susususu..."

Sensing the danger, the camphor tree lashed out at Chen Yang with several branches once more.

"Shh!"

A flash of cold light appeared, bringing with it a layer of frost.

When the branches of the camphor tree touched the blade of the Zhenshan Sword, frost immediately began to spread from them. The camphor tree sensed something was wrong, and several branches all curled towards the Zhenshan Sword.

The tree trunk tightly bound the Mountain-Suppressing Sword, releasing a powerful force that withstood the fierce attack from the golden body of the Dharma Image.

The biting frost spread rapidly along the point of contact between the sword and the tree branch, and the branch was soon covered with white ice crystals.

It managed to block the attack with the Mountain-Suppressing Sword, but...

Using his physical body as cover, Chen Yang raised the Crimson Sky Sword and thrust it towards the tree trunk.

Now it had no way to stop it.

"Pfft!"

The sword pierced directly into the tree trunk.

It enters at the level of the handle.

"what!"

The camphor tree cried out in pain, its spirit shaken.

The entire tree trunk was shaking violently.

Its attention was entirely focused on the Dharma Image, so it was completely unprepared for Chen Yang to strike it like that.

Fortunately, its trunk was very large, with a diameter of at least six meters and a radius of more than three meters. The Crimson Sky Sword only had a blade of a little over one meter, so this sword strike seemed to be nothing more than a superficial wound to it.

The camphor tree snorted angrily, and the wound on its trunk quickly tightened, clamping the Crimson Sky Sword tightly and preventing Chen Yang from pulling it out.

rustling!
The branches trembled, and camphor fruits fell towards Chen Yang like raindrops.

"Boom bang bang..."

The camphor fruit kept exploding; although the power was not great, the sheer number of them bombarded Chen Yang's golden body.

A large amount of white smoke rose up, engulfing Chen Yang.

Meanwhile, Li Changfu, who was fighting with the little white snake, was also rushing back.

While battling the little white snake, he flew towards Jianfeng Temple, the dandelion clouds beneath his feet rapidly disintegrating, seemingly threatening to send him plummeting from the clouds at any moment. "Thunder Magic!"

Chen Yang whispered a low murmur.

Chen Yang activated the [Yi Wood Divine Thunder Token] hanging around his neck, and the thunder patterns on the wooden token lit up, drawing out a vast amount of thunderous energy.

"boom!"

A deafening thunderclap, like an atomic bomb explosion, followed by a terrifying arc of light shooting out from the wooden sign and striking the tree trunk directly.

The entire tree trunk was enveloped in electric current, and the lightning energy flowed along the blade of the Crimson Sky Sword and instantly into the heartwood of the camphor tree.

Arcs of light flashed, illuminating the heavens.

"what!"

A scream of terror came from inside the tree trunk.

A terrifying electric current ravaged the tree trunk, ravaging its very essence.

The Divine Lightning of Wood is extremely harmful to creatures of the Wood element. Such a close-range attack would likely be too much for even a late-stage Dao Realm being to withstand.

After all, this wooden plaque is a priceless heirloom of Zixia Temple.

Chen Yang activated his Heavenly Eye, and a dazzling light appeared before him. Within the tree trunk, a primordial spirit halo that had almost condensed into a human form was teetering on the brink of collapse under the ravages of lightning.

The entire tree trunk was shaking violently from the electric shock.

Chen Yang suddenly drew the Crimson Sky Sword, took a step back, and raised it high. The Gluttonous Gu released a large amount of true essence, helping him to push his Golden Body Dharma Form to its limit.

The branches wrapped around the Mountain-Suppressing Sword were frozen solid. With a sudden tremor, the branches cracked open and scattered like shards of ice.

Once freed from his restraints, Fa Xiang, like Chen Yang, held the sword in both hands and raised the Mountain-Suppressing Sword high.

"Shh!"

The sword's edge extended over ten feet, then slashed down fiercely at the camphor tree branch.

"Boom!"

The enormous mountain-suppressing sword, carrying the force to cleave mountains and split seas, cleaved the massive camphor tree in two.

"what……"

A violent mental shock emanated from within the tree trunk. The Mountain-Suppressing Sword cleaved directly into the tree, and icy sword energy raged within it, providing support for the lightning energy.

"boom!"

As the primordial spirit light within the tree trunk shattered and vanished without a trace, the massive camphor tree trunk was cleaved in two by Chen Yang's sword strike, which possessed power exceeding that of eight dragons. The two enormous trunks, unable to withstand the immense force, collapsed to either side.

"Rumble..."

Two meditation rooms and the courtyard wall on the other side were smashed.

ended?
Chen Yang drew his sword and quickly retreated.

The camphor tree that had just been called arrogant is now split in two. Amidst the thick, poisonous smoke from the camphor fruit, a strong smell of electric arcs mixed with the scorching odor permeates the entire temple.

But why didn't the system give any prompts?

Chen Yang was somewhat puzzled.

The tree trunk is destroyed, and the primordial spirit has been severed. Why is there no notification from the system?

It's not dead yet?

Are we going to destroy the entire tree trunk?

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

"Boy, how dare you destroy my Dao body?"

Just then, a furious roar echoed through the night sky.

It was Li Changfu.

He was chased and made quite a mess by the little white snake. As the bone-eating beetles devoured the dandelion swarm, most of the dandelion cloud beneath Li Changfu's feet had dissipated.

Luckily, it flew over the temple, about 40 or 50 meters above the ground, and then jumped down.

"Shh!"

The little white snake followed closely behind, slashing a burst of blood energy towards Li Changfu's back.

"Humph!"

Li Changfu turned around and swept his sword horizontally.

With a loud boom, the sword energy and blood energy were annihilated, and then another sword was slashed out.

The terrifying sword energy forced the little white snake back.

Just now, while it was in the air, it was conserving its energy, worried that the dandelion cloud beneath its feet wouldn't be able to withstand the force. But now, with its feet firmly on the ground, it has no more worries.

Li Changfu leaped into the courtyard.

"Boy, you dare to destroy my Dao body? You're courting death."

When Li Changfu saw the destroyed camphor trees, his eyes widened in fury, and his anger seemed about to burst from his nose.

Even from twenty or thirty meters away, Chen Yang could feel the intense killing intent emanating from him.

Li Changfu snorted angrily and unleashed a sword aura towards Chen Yang.

"Shh!"

Before Chen Yang could even make a move, the little white snake released a burst of blood energy.

"boom!"

The sword energies collided, causing a terrifying explosion that shook the ground.

"Your Dao Body?"

The two faced off, separated by twenty or thirty meters. Chen Yang looked at Li Changfu, whose anger was burning fiercely, and felt something was off.

He actually felt a powerful pressure from Li Changfu's primordial spirit.

The strength of this primordial spirit is even no weaker than that of the camphor wood's primordial spirit.

Under the Heavenly Eye, Chen Yang could see that Li Changfu's whole body was radiating light, and a human-shaped ball of light appeared inside Li Changfu's body, almost as big as Li Changfu's body.

The primordial spirit.

Although the phantom of the primordial spirit resembled an old man, it did not match Li Changfu's appearance at all.

This is……

Chen Yang glanced at the destroyed camphor tree trunk beside him, then at the furious Li Changfu in front of him, and seemed to have figured something out.

"You're not Li Changfu? You're the camphor tree?" Chen Yang's eyes flashed, and he asked directly.

"Humph!"

Li Changfu pointed his longsword diagonally, "Kid, you know too much!"

really!

Chen Yang immediately understood the key point.

Back in Jianmen Mountain, this camphor tree was clearly slain and its trunk destroyed, yet decades later, it miraculously revived.

Chen Yang had suspected that Li Changfu had used some secret method, or perhaps used the Spirit Awakening Powder to reawaken its spirit. However, how could a newly formed consciousness achieve such a high level of spiritual development in just a few decades?

Now it seems there is only one explanation: this camphor tree, like the Three Corpse Divine Tree, possesses some kind of secret method for separating the primordial spirit.

Back then, those powerful figures in Panshan Realm only severed one part of the camphor tree's primordial spirit.

After the situation calmed down, another part of his primordial spirit re-entered the tree body.

That's how this camphor tree came to be reborn.

Over the years, this camphor tree has probably split off another primordial spirit. The two primordial spirits jointly govern the tree trunk, which is why the two new tree trunks that sprouted on the stump came about.

Chen Yang had just severed the primordial spirit in the tree, but the system did not display a success notification, which further confirms this point.

This camphor tree also contains a fragment of its primordial spirit, which now occupies Li Changfu's physical body.

No wonder, Li Changfu has only just entered the Creation Realm, yet he was able to fight the White Snake to a standstill, even when the White Snake had the advantage in the air.

It turns out that the camphor tree was the culprit.

That's awesome!
Once he understood the situation, Chen Yang had to admire the mountain spirits' methods of survival.

It's truly impossible to guard against.

Both primordial spirits were already at the late stage of the Dao True Realm, and they could even possess human bodies. This camphor tree was far more powerful than just a little bit.

Fortunately, they had just split in two, otherwise Chen Yang really didn't know what he could do with them, and he might have been ambushed by this guy.

Chen Yang gripped the Crimson Sky Sword tightly, feeling the powerful pressure from the opponent's primordial spirit, his mind tense to the extreme.

There is a huge difference between having a human body and not having one.

There is a big difference between being suspended in the air and having your feet on the ground.

Chen Yang could clearly feel the immense threat posed by the person in front of him.

If it weren't for his fear of the little white snake, Chen Yang was certain that the old tree would have killed him long ago.

Chen Yang asked, "Can Li Guangfu's body withstand it?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"They're bleeding!"

Li Guangfu's clothes were stained red with blood in many places, and there was no doubt that his body could not withstand the powerful force of the camphor wood.

"Humph!"

Xiangzhangmu snorted coldly. Although he was angry, he also had his reservations.

Li Changfu consumed the Dao Fruit it condensed, and its body had ample energy for its primordial spirit to use. However, just as Chen Yang had expected, Li Changfu's body could not withstand such powerful strength, especially during the battle. It had tried its best to protect Li Guangfu's physical body, but after several battles with the little white snake, it was still injured.

Cracked skin, blood staining clothes.

At this moment, it was weighing its options. With its strength, it could easily kill Chen Yang regardless of the consequences, but Li Guangfu's body probably couldn't withstand it.

What to do? Fight or run?

Their gazes fell on Chen Yang. The opposing team was no pushover. It seemed like the scene at Jianmen Mountain was repeating itself.

Back then, the tide had turned against them, and the power was no longer in their hands, so they chose to hide without hesitation.

But now, it feels that it's still worth a try.

At worst, we can just abandon Li Guangfu's body; if it's ruined, so be it. We can find a new host body later and seek revenge in the future.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a dark shadow broke through the air.

"Boy, here I come!"

A dark shadow, accompanied by a buzzing sound, swiftly shot into the courtyard.

Eight-winged centipede.

The white snake and the little white snake hung on either side of Chen Yang in front of him.
