Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

Chapter 60 The Claw of the True Dragon, the Legacy Techniques of the Ten Fiends (Please continue reading! A 6000-word chapter!)

The golden divine spring was boiling, and various rays of light surged and overflowed. After the changes occurred in the divine pool, everyone stopped fighting.

Everyone rushed forward, vying to enter the divine pool and seize the fountain of immortality.

Upon arriving here, everyone's movements became extremely slow because the area was so terrifying that they felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire, experiencing excruciating pain all over their bodies.

However, those who entered the divine pool had a mixture of pain and surprise on their faces. The pain was due to the intense energy field, which almost shredded their bodies.

The reason for the surprise was that golden ripples surged into their bodies, nourishing everyone's energy and spirit. The next moment, all living beings fell into the divine pool.

"Why is there no sacred spring, only mud and sand?"

Shi Hao frowned, looking dissatisfied. He was the first to kneel down, scooping and scooping with his hands, but the golden divine spring was nowhere to be seen.

"This is good stuff too!"

The God-Slaying Stone, disregarding its own safety, plunged headlong into the mud and sand, opening its mouth to swallow forcefully.

These somewhat damp silts are crystal clear, shimmering with golden light, and all the ripples are emitted from them, releasing a powerful and immortal divine force.

The other creatures were also stunned by this scene, and even the purple-haired girl couldn't care less about attacking Shi Hao.

"What about the Fountain of Youth?"

"Why has the divine elixir dried up? Why is this happening?!"

Everyone crouched down, trying to find traces of the Fountain of Youth. They were all unwilling to give up. It had been really difficult to get here. Their physical bodies had suffered too much pain, and they could not use runes or magic.

Moreover, they had to constantly guard against attacks from other creatures. They had relied on each other for life and death along the way, but in the end, they couldn't even see a single drop of the divine liquid. How could they be content with that?

"I'm eating, I'm eating, I'm eating and eating—"

Shi Hao grinned and finally lay down in the very center of the divine pool, digging out the glistening mud and sand and putting it into his mouth. Now it was time to compete with the God-Slaying Stone.

Qi Shi'an kept a close eye on the ground, and eventually he also stepped forward to dig up the mud and sand.

Unlike Shi Hao, he didn't put the mud and sand into his mouth. Instead, he kept digging. If nothing unexpected happened, the Fountain of Youth should still be hidden underground.

The reason we didn't see it is because the Fountain of Youth has already transformed and is preparing to take human form.

The pure-blooded ferocious beasts such as Zhujian and Bifang were terrified. Their behavior was truly brutal and puzzling. The thought processes of these two brats were truly unique.

One was digging in the sand, while the other was gnawing at the ground. For a moment, they couldn't tell which one was the descendant of the ancient ferocious beast.

"puff!"

Shi Hao spat out a mouthful of mud and sand, his face lit up with joy, and he opened his mouth to bite downwards, because he saw a small golden dragon, only a foot long.

Qi Shi'an dug for a long time without finding anything, while Shi Hao found it after eating two mouthfuls of mud and sand. This incredible luck made Qi Shi'an feel a little ashamed.

"The Fountain of Youth is actually transforming and taking human form! No wonder it's dried up!" the crowd exclaimed, rushing forward together.

Little Dragon awoke from his slumber, opened his eyes, his gaze fierce, and opened his mouth to bite.

However, to his astonishment, a human boy was even more ferocious than it, and struck first, biting down on the dragon's tail.

Qi Shi'an seized the opportunity and reached out with both hands to prevent Xiaolong from escaping.

"roar----"

With a roar, the golden dragon's body blazed with intense heat, its voice shattering the spring. It struggled fiercely, and its tail immediately broke off.

Then, it turned to flee, transforming into a streak of light as it attempted to leave the divine pool.

Qi Shi'an was agile and grabbed the little dragon's body the instant it was about to transform into a streak of light.

"Hand over the Fountain of Youth!"

"Boy, you are not worthy of possessing this. Hand it over immediately, or I will spare your life!"

Zhujian, Bifang, the purple-haired girl, and others all attacked Qi Shi'an.

"Xiao An, hold on tight, I'm coming to help you!"

Shi Hao hurriedly spoke, but the dragon's tail fell out of his mouth. He frantically caught the dragon's tail, sealed it all into the jade jar, and then ran towards Qi Shi'an.

The little dragon in Qi Shi'an's hand struggled desperately, emitting thousands of golden rays of light, like a small sun, so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it.

However, the little dragon began to disintegrate, turning into more than a dozen smaller dragons, each only the size of a fingertip, which then began to separate and flee.

He hurriedly took out a small jade bottle from his pocket and sealed several small dragons inside, adhering to the principle of catching as many as he could.

Seeing the Fountain of Youth disintegrate, the other attacking creatures no longer cared about killing Qi Shi'an and chased after the small dragons that were fleeing together.

"pity!"

Qi Shi'an was somewhat disappointed; this time he only obtained four drops of the Fountain of Immortality.

Once this divine liquid takes form, it will inevitably be full of divinity and unparalleled. Given time, it can quickly grow stronger and become a sacrificial spirit.

Even after enough time has passed, it wouldn't be a problem for them to transform into gods.

There is a field in the Hundred Herbs Garden, but the Fountain of Immortality is unaffected. Its golden sap has transformed into a dragon, which can travel far away in an instant and finally disappear into the earth.

"Stop fighting! You already have the Elixir of Immortality, you can't possibly eat all this!" the God-Slaying Stone shouted.

However, Shi Hao paid no attention to them and continued to snatch the items, putting a stack of animal skin bags to good use and piling them up next to the pool.

Finally, Shi Hao and the God-Slaying Stone turned over all the soil, and the golden ripples disappeared completely because the two gluttons had plundered all the golden soil, turning this place into ordinary land.

"You two are really something—"

Qi Shi'an's lips twitched involuntarily when he saw this scene.

Shi Hao stared wide-eyed at the God-Slaying Stone. It was the first time he had ever encountered such a strange stone. It had swallowed half a pool of mud and sand, but in the end, it was as if nothing had happened.

Strangely enough, after the Fountain of Youth disappeared, the energy field here weakened considerably, as if it had retreated along with the little golden dragon.

"Stop fooling around, let's go!"

Qi Shi'an said softly, "Those pure-blooded creatures will inevitably come back to snatch the Fountain of Immortality if they can't catch up with it."

Although they weren't afraid, it was better to avoid trouble. They still had to get to the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, so they couldn't waste any extra time and would run if they could.

At this moment, Shi Hao's argument with the God-Slaying Stone ended. The pile of animal skin bags filled with mud and sand was too conspicuous to be placed here.

He carried eight bags, Qi Shi'an carried the slain pureblood creature, and the God-Slaying Stone carried three bags on its back, rushing quickly towards the outside of the Hundred Herbs Garden.

The herb garden reeked of blood; dozens more creatures of different races had died, all of them having perished not long ago, and it seemed most of them had been killed by pure-blooded beings.

"Phew, finally out!"

Shi Hao let out a long breath, then took out the Qiankun Bag, loosened the golden silk rope lock, and auspicious clouds immediately bloomed at the bag's opening, taking all eleven bags of divine sand into the bag.

The moment Qi Shi'an emerged, he quickly absorbed the precious blood of the two pure-blooded beings.

The original runes of the Flood Dragon Technique on the Myriad Paths Tree merged with the runes of the Chiwen Technique, and those clusters of rune leaves immediately emitted a golden divine light.

The two primordial runes merged and began to transform, eventually becoming the phantom of a golden dragon that appeared on a cluster of leaves.

The golden dragon soared into the air, brandishing its claws with overwhelming power, its might as a mountain collapsing, tearing the sky and splitting the earth, its domineering presence unparalleled.

Qi Shi'an was overjoyed. After absorbing so much precious blood containing the bloodline of the dragon race, he finally obtained a move of the True Dragon Treasure Technique - the True Dragon Claw!

The True Dragon is the leader of the Ten Fiends, and its treasured techniques are characterized by pure offensive power and physical strength, making it the number one offensive treasured techniques among the Ten Fiends!

To obtain even one technique is already a great stroke of luck, and with the Myriad Paths Tree, he is certain that he will gather all ten fierce treasures in the future and eventually forge his own path to the Great Dao. This is his belief!

"Xiao An, let's go. We'll catch a few cubs of ancient ferocious beasts later, and while we're at it, we'll look for sacred medicine!" Shi Hao said with a smile.

"I don't hold back when I strike, especially against pure-blooded beings that possess dragon blood."

Qi Shi'an's lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes burning with a fervent desire for the True Dragon Treasure Technique.

"It's alright, I'll leave the ancient beasts that I'm facing behind."

Shi Hao didn't care about Qi Shi'an's actions at all. Even if Qi Shi'an didn't keep him, he would try his best to keep him alive.

Upon re-entering the herb garden, the two were completely relaxed. Having found the Fountain of Youth, their mission was complete. Now they wandered around aimlessly, hoping to find something even more valuable.

Within half an hour, they dug up ten medicinal herbs in the outer area, along with their roots and soil, all intact.

The two moved as if they were in an empty land, leaving no trace of vegetation in their wake, and never leaving a single root of any medicinal herb they encountered.

During this time, they encountered several pure-blooded creatures several times and even joined their ranks in the search for the golden dragon. They spent most of the day searching for it, but to no avail.

Along the way, Shi Hao encountered the purple-haired girl and clashed with her again. As always, he unleashed the God-Slaying Stone, smashing it right in the center of her fair forehead, causing a large bump to bulge out. This angered the purple-haired girl so much that her body trembled.

Qi Shi'an watched the show with great interest; how could he not witness such a scene of a future husband beating his wife?

He only needs a bag of sunflower seeds to become a "spectator".

A dragon was about to attack Shi Hao, but when it saw Qi Shi'an on the way, it chose to change its target.

"Kill him, and we'll split the treasure!"

The dragon roared and immediately transformed into a streak of light, attacking Qi Shi'an.

"Haha, my prey has arrived!"

Qi Shi'an laughed heartily. As a seasoned hunter, he always made himself the prey.

He didn't waste any time; he attacked with deadly moves. After only a hundred rounds of fighting, the dragon was killed by him with a single palm strike, its blood splattering everywhere.

Once he had made his move, he wouldn't stop, and immediately attacked the other creatures that contained dragon blood.

The two were like war gods, invincible!

The creatures that fought against Shi Hao were either missing pieces of flesh or had large bumps on their foreheads.

Qi Shi'an was like a god of death; anyone who became his enemy was annihilated by his absolute power.

Finally, he carried the slain beast out of the Hundred Herbs Garden and escaped this pure land.

The remaining enemies dared not pursue any further; they were all wounded to varying degrees, blood was flowing, and their breaths were shallow.

If they continue to pursue them, they will likely be annihilated as well; the strength of these two human youths is simply too terrifying.

As soon as Qi Shi'an came out, he quickly absorbed the precious blood. The original runes on the leaves of the Myriad Dao Tree continued to transform, and the flower buds that grew under the complete precious technique also opened their petals.

The two traveled all the way and rested for only one night before heading towards the legendary Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone!

They arrived at a vast Gobi Desert, a place extremely devoid of life, filled with rocks and gravel, stretching as far as the eye could see.

This place is not devoid of vegetation, but it is extremely sparse. Every few miles, one can find a giant tree, incredibly thick, resembling an old dragon coiled up, with lush branches and leaves.

The few signs of life only accentuated the desolation of the region. As one approached the center of the Gobi Desert, the number of living creatures gradually increased, and the number of ancient trees also increased, making the vitality even more abundant.

"What a strange place."

Upon arriving at the center, they found the place quite strange; this area was vibrant with life, quite different from the desolate landscape they had just witnessed.

Legend has it that this place was originally a barren land, where nothing grew. However, the blood of the saints stained the outer perimeter of the forbidden area, which is why the plants here are so lush.

And only outside the restricted area can you see such a vibrant scene.

Ahead, a massive, pristine white bone tablet appeared, bearing only four ancient, weathered characters:

Forbidden Zone of Heavenly Bones!

This bone monument, over thirty meters tall, can also be considered a boundary marker; once you cross it, you enter the true forbidden zone of celestial bones.

It was a misty place, with sparse and no longer lush vegetation, and shrouded in gray fog. In the distance, countless white bones could be seen on the ground, a vast expanse of white.

"boom!"

A sudden upheaval occurred deep within the forbidden zone, a fierce battle between powerful beings. Even creatures on the periphery could feel the earth trembling, as if mountains were being moved and seas were being filled.

In the dim light, they saw a pair of blue eyes that, through the gray mist, resembled two divine lamps, sending chills down their spines.

"That's a fierce battle between purebloods!"

"It is said that a creature inside once obtained a celestial bone, possessing great fortune that is the envy of all!"

The crowd could only sigh from the outside, unwilling to take the risk; those who could enter were all powerful beings.

"boom!"

A dazzling light emanated from the scene, and a human boy appeared and disappeared in the mist, managing to repel a ferocious blue beast. The boy was incredibly terrifying, and each step he took on the earth caused a series of booming sounds.

"It's him, the one with double pupils—Shi Yi!"

"That god-like youth can be compared to the offspring of the gods!"

"Terrifyingly strong!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment. This was not the first time they had witnessed Shi Yi display his extraordinary power, for the Double Pupil had been fighting and searching for the Heavenly Bone ever since entering the Hundred Broken Mountains.

Shi Hao's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on Shi Yi's figure. Shi Yi's mastery of runes was extremely terrifying and unfathomable, making it difficult to gauge just how powerful he was now.

The strength that Shi Yi unleashed was extremely close to that of Shi Hao. He estimated that his cousin, like himself, was a prodigy who had opened up ten grotto-heavens.

The Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone is a contest of mastery of runes and magical techniques. Only those with profound mastery of runes have the opportunity to obtain Heavenly Bones within the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone.

While Shi Yi was fighting the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, Qi Shi'an secretly led Shi Hao into the restricted area and rushed towards the location given by Supreme Luo Xiu.

Before leaving, Shi Hao stared intently at Shi Yi and muttered, "If it weren't for helping Xiao An, I would definitely defeat you here!"

The deeper they went, the more eerie it became. The surroundings were filled with a dense aura of darkness, and an atmosphere of death and misfortune permeated the forbidden zone.

This place was originally the most tragic area in the ancient battlefield, where countless ancient saints and powerful beings perished, their bones piling up into mountains, forming this forbidden land filled with death and an ominous aura.

Supreme Lord Luo Xiu placed the inheritance in a safe place and sealed it away. Only by obtaining Moro Peak can one open that inheritance site and obtain the inheritance.

In short, Mount Moro is the key to that place of heritage.

The dark energy of death and misfortune kept trying to erode the two of them. Qi Shi'an took out the Moro Peak Guardian and resisted the erosion of this dark energy.

"arrive!"

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao arrived at a desolate place, where there were no other living beings besides the two of them.

Beneath their feet were several mountains made of piled-up bones, each bone emanating a terrifying aura.

At the center of the mountain of bones, there was a dim light that seemed to pose no danger whatsoever, which only made people shudder.

"Xiao An, this place—"

Shi Hao felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that this area was extremely dangerous, as if it could be swallowed by darkness at any moment.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Qi Shi'an spoke calmly as Moro Peak was summoned. He moved his hands, activating Moro Peak according to the secret method given to him by Supreme Luo Xiu.

The black mist slowly rising from Mount Moro echoed the dim glow in the distance.

These bone mountains resembled some kind of formation, constantly sealing that radiance. But at this moment, the bone mountains suddenly shone brightly with divine light, and runes covered the area.

The dark ball of light, which had previously posed no danger, suddenly unleashed an unparalleled power of devouring and annihilation, transforming into a massive black hole.

The surrounding space was distorted, and several bone mountains flew uncontrollably into the black hole. Finally, the dark radiance turned into a piece of rune bone that emitted a dark light.

Qi Shi'an could sense that the talisman bone was emanating a terrifying, world-destroying power.

A terrifying phantom appeared, resembling a wolf's head with huge gray bull horns on its head, a vertical eye between its eyebrows, and black scales all over its body with long, crimson hair growing from the gaps.

Most striking are the nine tails that grow from its back, each ending in a ferocious beast head resembling a dragon's head, making it look terrifying.

This is Jiuyou, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, representing the ultimate power of destruction and annihilation, a symbol of power and destruction.

Qi Shi'an slightly raised his hand, and the Nine Netherworld Talisman Bone slowly floated over and landed in his palm.

"What kind of magical technique is this? The aura it just emitted was terrifying!" Shi Hao exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide.

"Among the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, the Nine Nether Treasure Technique represents the ultimate power of destruction and annihilation!" Qi Shi'an said slowly.

"What!" the God-Slaying Stone screamed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's body trembled slightly, and his eyes gleamed brightly.

This is the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques! Nobody wouldn't want to obtain it, and this is the complete Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, making it invaluable and arguably one of the strongest treasure techniques in the world.

"This precious technique contains the power to destroy the world. If one is not careful when practicing it, one will be devoured," Qi Shi'an said with a frown.

"Oh no, what should we do?"

It's such a pity that he just obtained a peerless technique but can't cultivate it.

"It's alright. As long as your Dao heart is firm, you won't be easily backfired. It's a good way to temper your character."

Qi Shi'an smiled slightly. There are gains and losses, and everything has two sides. This Nine Nether Treasure Technique is no exception.

Although its world-destroying power can easily lead people astray and ultimately backfire, from another perspective, isn't this also a kind of training?

He also has another way to prevent backlash, which is to cultivate the Willow God Technique!

By utilizing the life laws contained in the Willow God Technique to counteract the destruction laws contained in the Nine Nether Treasure Technique, the two treasure techniques complement each other, and perhaps one can deduce one's own great technique from this.

Moreover, the Nine Netherworld Technique is a perfect match for him.

Qi Shi'an was already on the path of killing and destruction, and this power of world destruction could help him deduce the future. After obtaining the Willow God Method in the future, he might be able to truly deduce a great path that combines life and destruction.

"Let's leave first, and then we can ponder this further once we're outside," Qi Shi'an said with a faint smile.

"Let's go!" Shi Hao said.

"boom!"

Suddenly, not far from where they had gone, a deafening roar erupted, and the entire small world began to tremble and glow.

The passageways connecting the various domains began to blur, all the golden portals quickly dimmed, and finally disappeared completely.

The various regions of the entire small world have merged together, and there is no longer any need to use those golden passages to travel between regions.

The true Hundred Broken Mountains have emerged as a whole, instead of being divided into pieces.

"What happened?!" Shi Hao exclaimed in surprise.

"It's possible that this trip to Baiduan Mountain is already nearing its end," Qi Shi'an said, frowning.

This opening period is coming to an end, and it won't be open again for hundreds of years.

Every time the various regions connect, that's when the real crisis arrives. Not only are geniuses more likely to clash, but even the native inhabitants of the Hundred Broken Mountains will begin to hunt them down.

"Hurry up, we can't stay here any longer. Once we get out, we'll split up and meet up at the agreed-upon place!" Qi Shi'an transmitted his thoughts telepathically.

"good!"

To reduce their chances of being spotted, the two decided to split up and escape, sprinting towards the exit.

Outside, chaos has broken out everywhere, with ferocious beasts, birds of prey, and humanoid ancient creatures emerging from various places.

Moreover, each of them exuded an astonishing ferocity, as if they had stepped out of hell, opening their blood-red maws to slaughter the crowd.

In an instant, screams echoed from all directions, and various ancient beasts appeared in the mountains, sweeping away geniuses from all races. They were all incredibly powerful old monsters.

Hundred Broken Mountains was originally a pure land where geniuses from all races would dig for spiritual herbs, search for treasures, and find relics of the gods, thus obtaining extraordinary opportunities.

However, at this moment, everything changed. Baiduan Mountain transformed from a peaceful paradise into a hell on earth, filled with slaughter, and foreign creatures became food for the natives.

Many of the old monsters are extremely powerful, such as Black Roar, Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, and Golden-Winged Roc, all of whom are well-deserved kings!

As soon as Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao left the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone, they immediately unleashed their magical artifacts and used them to quickly escape into the boundless mountains.

Along the way, Qi Shi'an witnessed too many scenes of slaughter. The mountains and forests were all stained red. The natives were devouring the strongmen of various races, and the sound of them crushing bones was terrifying.

This is a blood-stained world, filled with horrific scenes.

Suddenly, a ferocious beast appeared. It had a red body, resembled an ox, and had a human face and horse hooves. It stepped on the rocks, causing the rocky ground to be instantly submerged by the waves, demonstrating just how terrifying its power was.

"This is—a Ya!" Qi Shi'an exclaimed in surprise.

The Ya is an ancient ferocious beast that enjoys eating people, and its lineage is among the most advanced in water-based magical arts.

At this moment, it crashed directly into a rocky mountain, or perhaps it could be said that the waves shattered the rocky mountain and sank inside, then hid in a cave, preparing to lie in wait and hunt down the genius who entered the mountain.

The sound emitted by the Ya is similar to the cry of a baby, and it has the power of bewitching. It can be used to lure humans closer and then kill them.

"He's really cunning and calculating."

Qi Shi'an became more vigilant. These natives were all stronger than those in the Cave Heaven Realm, and some were even close to the Venerable Realm.

However, due to the special laws of Hundred Broken Mountains, they were unable to break through to the Supreme Realm or escape from this place. But within Hundred Broken Mountains, they were all undisputed kings.

Qi Shi'an carefully controlled the treasure, not daring to reveal even the slightest aura.

With his current strength, he might be able to put up a fight against beings in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but against beings in the Inscription Realm or above, he wouldn't even be a match for them.

He was extremely cautious throughout the journey, avoiding danger whenever possible, because many beast kings were lurking there, ready to suddenly pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Until he entered the central area of ​​Hundred Broken Mountains, a violent storm almost blew him away; there was a fierce battle between living beings!
