Ye Qing was shocked, staring at the towering ancient tree, she exclaimed, "What kind of tree spirit is this? How can it walk?"

"It can't walk. How come the one at the entrance of your village is gone?" Chu Mo said teasingly, then fixated his icy gaze on the ancient tree that was approaching them.

Although the ancient tree seemed to move slowly, it was huge! Each step shook the earth and mountains. But in reality, it moved faster than Chu Mo could run at full speed. It was almost in the blink of an eye that it had already reached right in front of Chu Mo and Ye Qing.

The ancient tree didn't communicate with Chu Mo at all, and it directly swung a long branch like a spear, stabbing straight towards Chu Mo!

"Ah!" Ye Qing screamed, instinctively wanting to step in front of Chu Mo. It was an instinctive, kind, and fearless act. She didn't even have time to think about anything.

Immediately after, Ye Qing felt lighter, and then found herself thrown far behind Chu Mo. She stumbled a bit, and before she could think, the battle had already begun!

Fast, fierce, and intense!

The pervasive killing intent in the air was something Ye Qing had never experienced before.

She saw a dazzling flash of the blade, like lightning on a rainy day, so bright it made her eyes hurt.

Then, she heard a low roar. The towering ancient tree began to shake wildly. Then, thousands of leaves, like flying knives, covered the sky and flew towards their direction.

"Get down!"

In Ye Qing's ears, she only heard Chu Mo's loud shout, she didn't have time to think, and immediately lay down on the ground. It felt like countless arrows were passing right over her body. At that moment, she even dared not open her eyes!

It was terrifying!

Since when did tree spirits become so terrifying? To the point where it would attack people proactively? Could it be because it recognized the identity of this foreign gentleman? Ye Qing couldn't help shouting loudly, "Tree spirit, he's not a bad person! Stop, stop!"

Until now, deep in her bones, she still didn't think the tree spirit was evil. She stubbornly believed that the tree spirit at the entrance of Stone Village must have left for some reason. The tree spirit they were facing now was reacting this way because of the identity of the foreign gentleman...

But her shouts were met with no response from the tree spirit.

The fierce battle was still ongoing!

The long branch of the tree spirit had just been cut off by Chu Mo, and now it stretched out... ten more!

This was simply an endless ability for it; it had millions of roots below, each one of them could be used as a deadly weapon!

Thus, the ancient tree didn't care at all about losing a branch. It felt as if a person had lost a strand of hair, totally unfelt!

Chu Mo swung the Cold Moon Blade in his hand, repeatedly chopping off hundreds of branches, and then rushed towards the main body of the ancient tree with his movement technique.

In this place, divine abilities couldn't be used, and they could only fight in close combat.

But Chu Mo was unafraid!

Although the ancient tree was terrifying, it was too huge. Under its entire body, there were flaws everywhere, no need to look for them specifically!

Just breaking through to its front was enough.

The defense of the ancient tree was strong, and it moved its upper roots as if thousands of strong warriors were wielding spears. Moreover, the coordination between them was perfect because all these roots belonged to itself!

It was like a phalanx of spears, trying to block Chu Mo right there.

Chu Mo didn't forcefully confront the attack; he quickly moved, trying to break through from another direction. But the roots of the ancient tree were too many! No matter which direction, it was completely sealed off by the tree, giving Chu Mo no chance to approach it.

At the same time, more roots continually stretched out, like sharp spears, seeking opportunities to attack Chu Mo.

Such a troublesome opponent!

This towering ancient tree had at least the power of the supreme level; too strong, and although it couldn't use divine abilities, its offense and defense were both terrifying.

This was Chu Mo, any other person would probably have been pierced through, riddled with holes by now. Even the elderly man from the small village who had a Supreme Realm, faced with this ancient tree, had only despair to embrace.

Chu Mo chopped off a large number of roots, but as soon as he cut one part, more would appear.

Too annoying!

In Chu Mo's eyes, a flash of ice-cold intent swept through. He directly summoned the Samadhi Real Fire and threw it at the ancient tree!

This wasn't a divine ability or a Taoist technique; this was simply a ball of fire!

One of the most terrifying flames in this world!

The ancient tree immediately panicked!

What are trees most afraid of? Not being chopped. Such beings that have become tree monsters, even if they are cut down, actually can't be killed! As long as their roots are intact, they can regenerate.

They are only truly afraid of fire!

But they're not afraid of ordinary fire, as ordinary flames could be easily extinguished by a whip of their branches.

But this kind of fire now posed a deadly threat to this towering ancient tree.

It thought of retreating!

The numerous roots at the base, like multilegged insects, desperately writhed toward the distance, trying to escape!

Chu Mo sneered, seizing this opportunity, he charged directly in front of the ancient tree's trunk, his Cold Moon Blade... swung at an unbelievably high frequency!

This was the combat power purely driven by his physical body, terrifying to the extreme!

The Cold Moon Blade seemed to transform into a drill, but because the frequency was too high and the speed too fast, it even gave the impression of being motionless!

In Ye Qing's eyes, Chu Mo disappeared into the trunk of the ancient tree in an instant. Only a huge hole was left on the trunk.

Then, she saw this Tree Monster shaking madly, like a fierce beast struck in a vital spot but not yet dead, struggling desperately. It was like the last frenzy before death.

Ye Qing then saw Chu Mo's figure repeatedly appearing and disappearing into the trunk of the Tree Monster.

The Tree Monster struggled desperately trying to escape; its countless roots turned into the sharpest long hairs and stabbed into its own tree hole.

But it was useless!

Afterward, Ye Qing saw Chu Mo staggering out from the trunk of the Tree Monster, his body stained with blood as he desperately ran towards her.

Then, Ye Qing was stunned by the scene before her!

Inside this Tree Monster, large amounts of smoke began to billow out, soon followed by visible flames fiercely burning!

"My God..." Ye Qing exclaimed, at this point she didn't know what to think, feeling only confusion in her mind, and then she was thoroughly shocked!

Such a Tree Monster, obviously much stronger than those of Stone Village and another village, was killed by the young master in just a moment?

Chu Mo came to Ye Qing, panting heavily. Then he turned his head to look at the towering ancient tree that was burning. His heart still couldn't help but be shocked.

This ancient tree, if it were outside and he didn't use his clone, he really might not be its opponent. Both its attack and defense were too strong!

The defense was solid and impervious; the attack fierce and unmatched, fighting it felt like fighting against a million Quasi-Supremes at once!

The lethal roots, each one turning into a long spear attacking, were like the strikes of a Quasi-Supreme!

Otherwise, Chu Mo would not have been injured.

Fortunately, he chose the most correct way, rushing into the trunk of the ancient tree, and then dropped down the Samadhi Real Fire!

The Samadhi Real Fire, cultivated over many years, was no longer the incomplete flame of the past. In fact, under Chu Mo's nourishment, this Samadhi Real Fire had even surpassed its original form!

The Samadhi Real Fire possessed a faint sentience, and besides being used for alchemy and cooking over the years, it hadn't had a chance to prove its worth. Thrown by Chu Mo to burn this Tree Monster, it was extremely excited, almost summoning all its power to burn the tree.

The realm of the Samadhi Real Fire had obviously not reached the level of the Supreme, but its natural antagonism completely suppressed the Tree Monster!

The surging flames almost instantly swallowed the Tree Monster completely.

Ye Qing stood there staring blankly for a long time, then noticed Chu Mo's injuries. With concern and mixed feelings, she asked: "Are you, are you alright?"

Although it was the Tree Monster that initiated the attack, Ye Qing still believed the Tree Monster was not wrong. However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Mo's retaliation either. Seeing Chu Mo killing the Tree Monster made her heart ache, thus her emotions were complex.

Chu Mo shook his head: "I'm fine."

The Samadhi Real Fire had completely suppressed the resistance of the Tree Monster, burning all of it into nothingness. As one of the most powerful fire types in the world, Samadhi Real Fire especially restrains malevolent beings.

Thus, in less than half an hour, the Tree Monster had turned into a pile of charcoal.

At that moment, a faint light rose from the remnants of the Tree Monster. This speck of light, only as large as a grain, was very small, emanating a faint green glow, giving an impression of limitless vitality.

Chu Mo frowned slightly as he looked on, and Ye Qing's eyes widened as well.

Then, under their gaze... this faint green glow unexpectedly transformed into... a Buddha!

This transformation was utterly astonishing!

Though just a Buddha the size of a grain, it still exuded a tremendous compassionate power.

This power was many times stronger than the fluctuations from Xu Du!

"What is this?" Chu Mo was really confused, a Tree Monster only, yet it turned into a Buddha after death? Could there be anything more bizarre, more mysterious, more ironic than this?

"Amitabha..." the Buddha statue, with a compassionate look, gently recited a Buddha's name towards Chu Mo.

Ye Qing looked bewildered because she didn't understand what a Buddha was. She just felt that this grain-sized glowing figure exuded a calming power.

Chu Mo looked coldly at the grain-sized Buddha statue: "Stop playing tricks!"
