Eternal Sacred King

2262 Parasol Tree Formation

As time passed by, the number of cultivators in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground decreased.

By the hundredth day, Su Zimo was the only one left in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, sitting on a Parasol Tree leaf.

Everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy was still waiting quietly not far away from the cave, prepared to leave together after Su Zimo came out of seclusion.

The strange thing was that Feng Yin did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat not far away with his eyes closed, seemingly waiting for something.

Right then, a young man in brocade robes walked over slowly from afar and arrived before the cave before long.

“Xie Tianhong?”

When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw that person, she frowned slightly and murmured, “Isn’t he presiding over Spirit Cloud County? Why did he suddenly return to the palace?”

“Greetings, Your Highness Tianhong,”

The two guards at the entrance bowed to the young man in brocade robes.

Expressionlessly, Xie Tianhong suddenly sent a voice transmission to the two guards with his spirit consciousness, “Activate the Parasol Tree Formation.”

“Parasol Tree Formation?”

The two guards were slightly stunned.

There was an extremely terrifying formation in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

With the Parasol Tree as the foundation, the formation would activate the Sun Essence Fire, Extreme Yin Essence Fire and Earth Core Fire to nourish the Parasol Tree. In fact, divine phoenixes would even appear!

Initially, the purpose of the formation was to nurture the ancient Parasol Tree.

Under normal circumstances, the ancient Parasol Tree was only suitable to survive in the Parasol Tree World. The environment there was extremely cruel for most living beings and they could not survive at all. However, it was the most suitable for the Parasol Tree to grow.

It was not easy to create a secret ground suitable for the ancient Parasol Tree to survive. That was the reason for the formation’s existence.

The entire Parasol Tree Secret Ground would turn into a mini Parasol Tree World.

At that time, all living beings around the ancient Parasol Tree other than the divine phoenixes would be erased by the power of the secret ground!

One of the guards looked troubled and said instinctively, “Your Highness, there’s only a day left. There’s another…”

Before he could finish, he noticed Xie Tianhong smirking and his pupils constricted with a strange black glow.

When they noticed the black light, the eyes of the two guards gradually turned black!

“Activate the Parasol Tree Formation now!”

Xie Tianhong’s bewitching voice sounded in the minds of the two guards once more, as though it was deeply rooted and they could not reject it!

“Brother Tianhong, why are you here?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow sensed that something was amiss and walked over, asking with a frown.

Xie Tianhong turned around and looked at Princess Scarlet Rainbow who was not far away. He smiled and said, “I heard that you did well in the Earth Ranking, so I rushed back to take a look.”

Xie Tianhong presided over Spirit Cloud County all year round and rarely returned to the palace. As such, Princess Scarlet Rainbow did not have a deep impression of him.

Although the two of them had the same father, they had different mothers and rarely interacted with one another. Therefore, their feelings for one another were not deep.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow did not believe a single word Xie Tianhong said.

Right then, two guards not far away suddenly channeled their spirit consciousnesses wildly and conjured hand seals repeatedly, sending Essence Qi into the water barrier of the cave.

“Activate!”

The two guards shouted right on the heels of that.

A violent bang sounded from the cave and the entire mountain peak shook slightly, as though something huge had happened inside!

Xie Tianhong smirked.

When the Parasol Tree Formation was activated, the endless Sun Essence Fire, Extreme Yin Essence Fire and Earth Core Fire fused into the secret ground—Earth Immortals could not withstand it at all!

If divine phoenixes appeared, even Grade 9 Heaven Immortals would be burned to ashes upon entering the secret ground.

All foreign living beings around the ancient Parasol Tree would have to endure the ferocious attacks of the divine phoenixes and nobody would be spared!

…

In the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, Su Zimo was focused on cultivating when he sensed something. Opening his eyes, he saw that the world in the secret ground was undergoing a huge change and phenomenons were appearing!

The ground of the secret ground cracked continuously with scarlet cracks surfacing.

Although the cracks looked random, when they were connected, they exuded a mysterious aura and scorching lava surged continuously within!

At the same time, a fire rain descended from the skies.

In the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, flames burned furiously and were ubiquitous. The temperature of the place rose rapidly and surpassed the limits of the Green Lotus True Body before long!

Phew!

The badge on Su Zimo’s waist burned rapidly and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The skin of the Green Lotus True Body could not withstand it either and was burned yellow and cracked. Before blood could flow out, it evaporated instantly!

“Array formation?”

Su Zimo swept his gaze across the cracks on the ground and could tell what was going on right away.

Someone was activating the formation of the Parasol Tree Secret Ground outside, wanting to kill him!

“Screech! Screech!”

Right then, two clear and loud phoenix cries sounded.

Right on the heels of that, endless lava gathered and transformed into a pair of male and female divine phoenixes in midair. They charged towards Su Zimo with an incomparably scorching aura!

All beings had to retreat in the face of the divine phoenixes perching on the Parasol Tree!

...

That thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind and he instantly realized where the killing intent of the two divine phoenixes was.

Su Zimo had a fearless expression and channeled his Essence Spirit, releasing a lifeforce that seemed to have come from the ancient era that surpassed the divine phoenixes!

In the face of that aura, even the divine phoenixes had to bow down!

That was the aura of the Taboo Dragon Phoenix!

The moment the divine phoenixes arrived, they stopped in their tracks and hesitated, as though they sensed something.

They circled around Su Zimo and danced up and down.

Even the divine phoenixes conjured by the Parasol Tree Formation had imprints of the divine phoenix race from the depths of their souls.

In their memories, living beings that could emit such an aura were existences that surpassed them and were supreme!

The divine phoenixes were a little cautious and confused as they circled around Su Zimo to test the waters.

Although the divine phoenixes did not make any further moves, as the Parasol Tree Formation was completely activated, the Sun Essence Fire, Extreme Yin Essence Fire and Earth Core Fire surged into the secret ground continuously and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly!

The Green Lotus True Body could no longer withstand it. Even if the divine phoenixes did not attack further, he would die here!

...

However, at the same time, the Sun Essence Fire, Extreme Yin Essence Fire and Earth Core Fire carried an unimaginable amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

All the Essence Qi surged into Su Zimo’s body and the Green Lotus True Body was about to explode!

Although the regeneration capabilities of the Green Lotus True Body were strong, he could not withstand such a tremendous power.

Right then, a thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind. Suddenly, he took out the piece of Jupiter Wood he had obtained in the Nine Heavens and absorbed it wildly!

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least dozens of years for the Green Lotus True Body to absorb and refine the Jupiter Wood.

But now, under the stimulation of external forces, if the Green Lotus True Body wanted to hold on, he would have to absorb the power of Jupiter Wood wildly to accelerate his body’s expenditure to defend against the high temperature of the secret ground.

The lifeforce in Jupiter Wood was decreasing at a visible speed!

In fact, the absorption process of the Green Lotus True Body was already a little violent and terrifying. Not only was he absorbing the Jupiter Wood, even the lifeforce of the Parasol Tree was being absorbed as well!
