Chapter 501: Chapter 248: Celestial Demon Technique, Return, Healing the Heaven-Reaching Vine, 7th-Tier Branch, Building Star City!
Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart!
It almost gathers the majority of the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s Origin Power, one could say that as long as the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart does not perish, the Heaven-Reaching Tree would not face any danger.
However...
In front of him, within this Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart, Lu Sheng could clearly sense traces of black energy flow constantly circulating within it.
It is precisely these black energy flows that have caused the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart’s aura to start weakening, even making the entire Heaven-Reaching Tree appear somewhat withered.
"These black energy flows... what exactly are they?"
Lu Sheng looked at the black energy flow constantly circulating within the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart with some confusion. After pondering for a while, he still reached out his hand, intending to extract that Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart.
The Heaven-Reaching Tree is already in a dying state anyway, even without Lu Sheng’s intervention, it wouldn’t take long for the Heaven-Reaching Tree to completely perish.
It would be better for Lu Sheng to directly take away the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart, for this will allow the Heaven-Reaching Vine from the Life Factions to quickly heal its injuries and return to peak condition using the residual energy within the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart.
However, when Lu Sheng extended his hand to grasp the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart, suddenly, the black energy flow that was initially within the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart seemed to sense some kind of hope and surged into Lu Sheng’s body.
In just an instant, it had transferred from the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart into Lu Sheng’s body.
Lu Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly.
These black energy flows were extremely bizarre, able to even enter his body.
Moreover, Lu Sheng could clearly feel that these black energy flows seemed to secrete some unique energy, intending to take control of his body.
This feeling was identical to the Golden Core Insect Eggs Lu Sheng had seen before in the Three Thousand Worlds.
However, the energy fluctuations were somewhat different.
"So... this Heaven-Reaching Tree is due to the invasion of these black energies, intending to seize the Tree’s body, thereby triggering the Heaven-Reaching Tree’s refusal, leading to mutual destruction?"
"Now... with my arrival, it wants to replace me?"
Lu Sheng’s brows raised slightly, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Such an act... courting death indeed!"
Lu Sheng spoke lightly, his body instantly emanating an incredibly terrifying Suppressing Power, followed by the instant surge of Power of Annihilation, washing over Lu Sheng’s body.
In just an instant, these active black energy flows within Lu Sheng’s body were completely extinguished by the Power of Annihilation.
Although these black energy flows were unique, they evidently lacked much intelligence, similar to the Golden Core Insect Eggs, possessing an almost pathological impulse to seize organic life.
Let alone insights into the Cosmic Dao, nothing could compare to Lu Sheng’s understanding.
Instantly annihilated by the Destruction of All Laws.
However, after Lu Sheng obliterated these black energy flows, he suddenly discovered that a stream of information seemed to have been extracted from the black energy flows, flooding into Lu Sheng’s mind.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, after digesting this information extracted from the black energy flows, a hint of shock appeared on his face.
"’Celestial Demon Technique’? This turns out to be a cultivation technique?"
Given Lu Sheng’s current life level, general cultivation techniques almost fail to impress him.
Yet, after digesting the contents of the ’Celestial Demon Technique’, a rare look of shock flickered across Lu Sheng’s face.
"Seizing the beings of other worlds, occupying the flesh of those beings through a cuckoo’s nest strategy, using this being for cultivation, understanding the cultivation techniques of different worlds, and ultimately... returning to the original body!"
Once Lu Sheng processed the cultivation methods of ’Celestial Demon Technique’, his face also revealed an expression of surprise.
"So... was the Heaven-Reaching Tree targeted for seizure and thus became what it is now due to a Celestial Demon’s presence?"
"It’s just because the Heaven-Reaching Tree is, after all, the owner of the sky canopy of this world, which to a large extent represents the consciousness of this world, ultimately resulted in mutual destruction with the Celestial Demon’s avatar!"
Once Lu Sheng clarified the cultivation methods of the ’Celestial Demon Technique’, he finally understood the reason for the current scene.
"The Heaven-Reaching Tree’s level clearly reached the Tier Seven Peak, coupled with the ability to control the sky canopy; it is almost a dominant existence in this world... yet became like this due to being targeted by a Celestial Demon!"
Lu Sheng looked at the Heaven-Reaching Tree, which had completely withered after he took the Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart, and could not help but sigh.
Ultimately... it was advantageous for me.
However, the principles of this universe are survival of the fittest, even without my intervention; the Heaven-Reaching Tree couldn’t possibly survive.
Lu Sheng did not feel any guilt; he simply felt slightly sentimental.
"Well, in a sense, transplanting your Heaven-Reaching Tree Heart onto the Heaven-Reaching Vine counts as living again in another form!"
"After all, you’re still of common origin!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly.
Perhaps hearing Lu Sheng’s voice, the completely withered Heaven-Reaching Tree swayed gently with the wind, its withered leaves rustling together, seemingly responding to Lu Sheng’s words.
