The Ancestral Tree Elder Demon laughed triumphantly with reckless glee, while continuously urging the tree silks to entangle Wang Xiaoqiang.

Earlier, he had received quite a few benefits from the King of Kunshan, not to mention several precious human clan magic treasures, and even ten or so human clan beauties were given to him, which is why he agreed to the King of Kunshan's request to kill Wang Xiaoqiang at all costs.

In fact, his strength was slightly more powerful than the King of Kunshan. What he intended earlier was merely to toy with Wang Xiaoqiang, expressing a desire to see just how formidable this youngster, who could even give the King of Kunshan a headache, actually was.

The result was that Wang Xiaoqiang's capabilities considerably exceeded his expectations. Although Wang Xiaoqiang's Qi Refining Cultivation was merely at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm, his comprehensive strength absolutely rivals a Purple Mansion Immortal. If he doesn't die today, his future will surely be promising, becoming a Great Power of the Cultivation Realm.

Under the relentless coil of tree silks, the cocoon of tree silks enveloping Wang Xiaoqiang had already grown as large as a small mountain, enclosing him impenetrably, making him feel that even breathing had become difficult, relying solely on the sustaining of internal Spiritual Power.

Now, neither his Qi Refining nor Body Refining Cultivation appeared to hold strength, rendering all of his Spell Techniques useless.

He was now at the end of the road.

If a solution couldn't be devised quickly, he might die, taking with him the Patterned Beast on his body, Zuo Dao hidden in the ring space, Xue Hongying, and Feng'er as companions to the grave.

He didn't want others to die because of him; he didn't want himself to merely perish, for he hadn't yet fulfilled his wish—obtaining the Immortal Pill to extend the life of his aging parents.

"Cannot die!!!"

This conviction saturated his heart as Wang Xiaoqiang shouted inwardly, frantic thoughts racing to hatch various plans, ultimately realizing the potential within the Divine Maiden's Cauldron.

"Indeed, the only solution now is the Divine Maiden's Cauldron," Wang Xiaoqiang murmured, and with immediate willpower activation, the Divine Maiden's Cauldron emerged from the Ring Space. However, the tree silks so tightly bound Wang Xiaoqiang that there wasn't an inch of space around him. Upon its emergence, the cauldron pressed against Wang Xiaoqiang's abdomen. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoqiang possessed an Undying Golden Body, his physical body robust enough not to suffer damage from the pressure.

With the cauldron out, Wang Xiaoqiang spoke to it, saying, "Divine Sister, I'm in grave danger now, and you may fall into another's hands. But the one to gain you is indeed a Great Demon, a Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon, named Ancestral Tree. Colluding with the King of Kunshan, he's absolutely not a good person. Should he obtain you, your circumstances might be worse than being under the King of Eastern Mountain. Thus, I implore the Divine Sister to activate the Immortal Artifact and eradicate this Ancestral Tree Elder Demon...".

The goddess, seated cross-legged within the cauldron's space cultivating, blinked open her starry eyes at the sound of Wang Xiaoqiang's voice, surveying to find him tightly wrapped in tree silks as white as threads, and the Divine Maiden's Cauldron pressed awkwardly at his belly. His depiction seemed accurate, revealing no deceit. Her heart fluttered with contemplation on whether to save him—or replace her master—considering that upon Wang Xiaoqiang's demise, she was likely to end up in the hands of the Ancestral Tree Great Demon.

One is human, the other a demon.

Although the goddess wasn't a human, her former self was indeed a human woman, and she had always viewed herself as a human woman.

Humans and demons naturally remain separate.

The notion of demons agitated her heart.

If required to choose, of course, she preferred humans.

Moreover, after a period of observation, she found Wang Xiaoqiang to be a very mature and dependable person; firstly, he didn't disrupt her cultivation like the King of Eastern Mountain did, and secondly, he never exchanged hands of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron with others, fostering a liking towards Wang Xiaoqiang. Her heart had mulled over the possibility of accompanying Wang Xiaoqiang for life multiple times. Even if Wang Xiaoqiang were to hand the cauldron to another woman, she remained unwilling.

Not to mention demons!

Thus, she absolutely wouldn't agree. Although to annihilate this Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon would require activating the highest might of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron,

The might of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron was her cultivation base, and each activation depleted it, especially for its utmost might, which required sacrificing half a lifetime of painstaking cultivation.

This cost was considerable!

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't readily activate the maximum power of the Divine Maiden's Cauldron.

While the goddess hesitated, a voice pierced inside, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I've had enough playing. I'm heading back to the underground palace to enjoy women; you're now free to die. The King of Kunshan mentioned you left a few women unattended, rest assured, I'll look after them for you… Hahahahaha…"

It was indeed the Ancestral Tree Great Demon's voice, delighted, vicious, rampantly arrogant.

The demon had the ability to transform into human form, inheriting human instincts, and apparently his lust for women surpassed even that of human men.

Hearing the Ancestral Tree Great Demon's voice, the goddess furrowed her elegant eyebrows, as if swallowing a fly, contempt filling her eyes.

"Divine Sister, hurry, any longer it'll be too late…" Wang Xiaoqiang shouted urgently.

How could the goddess not discern that the Ancestral Tree Great Demon was about to kill Wang Xiaoqiang? She no longer hesitated, immediately forming seals with both hands before casting them together...

Meanwhile, the Ancestral Tree Great Demon, remembering the King of Kunshan's gift of ten beauties, felt an itch in his heart, intent on returning to the underground palace to indulge himself. He was just about to exert demonic power to destroy Wang Xiaoqiang wrapped in the tree silks when,

Suddenly...

With a prolonged echo, a deafening explosion resonated from within the tree silk casing Wang Xiaoqiang, slightly dazing him, halting his technique.

In that moment of pause, the residual sound didn't fade but rebounded, abruptly amplifying...

Boom!!!!!!

Earth-shattering and devastating, surrounding mountain peaks were violently shaken apart, splitting vast chasms.

In an instant, the tree silks resembling a mountain burst asunder, and the ferocious explosion wave expanded outward, like a tsunami, exceeding the speed of light...

"Ah? What???!!!!"

The Ancestral Tree's expression changed dramatically, fear surging in his eyes. Having lived for ten thousand years, he could naturally perceive the dreadful force, and with a sudden mental command, he intended to retreat underground.

Unfortunately, after battling with Wang Xiaoqiang, he had exhausted considerable energy, making his demonic power sluggish. More critically, when he had earlier executed the "Great Demon Life Technique," it created seven demon bodies at once, and withdrawing all seven beneath the earth in an instant was akin to climbing the heavens.

Despite knowing its difficulty, his instincts led him to attempt shrinking the bodies, eight titanic Heaven-Piercing trees rapidly contracting downward, yet their speed could not match the expansion of the explosion wave, and just as the eight tree bodies were halfway into the ground, the tsunami-like violent explosion wave engulfed them,

Inside the demon tree an ancestral voice exclaimed, "I lived for ten thousand years only to die at the hands of a mere whelp, unwilling, ahhhhh!!!!"

With the explosion wave like devastating demolition, the enormous tree bodies were blown to bits, and after shattering the eight demon tree bodies, the explosion wave didn't cease, scattering demon tree remnants outward...

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

The explosion wave grew increasingly loud, spreading at super-light-speed, ancient woods and mountain peaks were toppled, and slower fleeing Divine Beast, criminals, contestants were engulfed, not even emitting a shriek before vanishing into dust...

The explosion wave didn't just annihilate the Ancestral Tree Elder Demon but continued to spread a thousand miles afar, a thousand miles away peaks, ancient woods, Divine Beast, criminals, contestants, all perished, without a single survivor.
