Chapter 533: The Furious Forest

The Furious Forest was considered a more well-known place in the Square Immortal Continent. It was not famous because of its name and its abundance of all kinds of immortal spirit herbs.

It was famous for having only one kind of Furious Root Tree and nothing else.

Peculiarly, the Furious Root Tree did not require any soil or carrier, or it could be said that its carrier was the void.

The Furious Root Tree could grow independently in the void, and its roots were particularly developed. Once the roots stretched out, they would be like strange, furious long spears intertwining.

This was only one Furious Root Tree. If countless of them grew together, they would form a field of boundless tremendous root systems that would intertwine and connect into a world in this void without soil.

The Furious Forest was formed by countless Furious Root Trees, and all sides of the forest were filled with void. Endless roots of Furious Root Trees grew together underneath the void.

Within the several million square kilometers of the entire Furious Forest, there were no other kinds of plants besides the Furious Root Tree.

At the moment, Di Jiu stood at the edge of the Furious Forest and looked at the roots of the Furious Root Trees peculiarly intertwined together. His scalp was tingling with numbness.

With so many tree roots intertwining, it looked like rough, big earthworms. Someone with trypophobia would definitely not dare set foot there upon seeing that.

Even the braver cultivators would also worry that if they ended up on these tree roots inside the Furious Forest, the tree roots would sweep them in after they entered deep into the forest and turn them into nothingness.

Since there were no other species within several million square kilometers in the Furious Forest, people wondered whether all life was absorbed by the Furious Root Tree.

Di Jiu did not stay for long. He stepped deep into the Furious Forest after observing it for a short while.

A natural alleviation restriction was formed in the surroundings of the Furious Forest, where nobody and nothing was allowed to fly over.

It would not be hard for Di Jiu to fly in by force if he wanted to.

With his Order Severance divine power, he could rip apart the alleviation restriction formed by the Furious Root Tree.

However, Di Jiu did not feel the need to do so and he had heard of the Furious Root Tree before. Since the node given by Xing Jing-ang was in the Furious Forest, he also wanted to enter the forest to take a look at how special this place was.

It was not that Di Jiu had the guts to do this. Actually, the Furious Forest did not pose a threat to him at all.

Di Jiu would make some preparations when the Furious Forest posed a threat to him. For example, he would burn this place into nothing with his Dao flame or set up a guidance Teleportation Array outside.

Di Jiu walked for a while and just entered deep into the Furious Forest. He could sense that something was amiss with the tree roots of the Furious Root Tree underneath him.

They seemed to be alive and wiggling.

An ordinary cultivator would have perhaps turned back immediately. However, Di Jiu moved forward according to his original plan as if nothing had happened.

An awful grinding voice was heard. Then, Di Jiu could feel the endless tree roots start to turn soft, like pig intestines that had been putrefied for a long time. They wiggled and engulfed in an earth-shattering manner.

The surrounding space was filled with a bloody aura. Any escape technique at this point seemed to have been sealed off, and the entire space was completely filled with death and destruction.

Di Jiu had the Five-Element escape technique and the Spiritual Force escape technique. He could still use his Order Severance divine power to escape even if the Furious Root Trees sealed off this space again.

However, he did not think of doing so. The Furious Root Trees did not allow any outsiders to enter at all. He’d originally wanted to only pass through. He had not planned on doing anything to the Furious Root Trees here.

Di Jiu was very displeased with the response of the Furious Root Trees. His Dao fire emanated under his feet and instantly turned into a ball of spatial flame that very quickly proliferated frantically in all directions with Di Jiu as its center.

In just a short time, the Furious Root Trees were turned into nothingness by his Dao fire. As long as Di Jiu continued, it would not take too long to burn the entire Furious Forest with the power of his Dao fire.

There was naturally certain spiritual intelligence involved for the Furious Forest to survive in this void for countless years. Once a terrifying Dao fire like Di Jiu’s was used, all the Furious Root Trees in the Furious Forest instantly got afraid. They all had a kind of instinctive consciousness, so it would not take too long for Di Jiu to turn the Furious Forest into ashes.

The tree roots of the Furious Root Tree that frantically approached Di Jiu then frantically retreated. A kind of pleading aura could be felt, as if the trees were hoping that Di Jiu would take back his Dao fire and stop using it to burn them.

Di Jiu, who was not bothered, retracted his Dao fire while saying softly, “Only this once. If you dare to provoke me next time, I will turn all the Furious Root Trees here into nothingness.”

The reason he did not exterminate them was because this place belonged to the Furious Root Trees indeed. Di Jiu was only going through. He would naturally spare these Furious Root Trees the first time but he would definitely burn them without any hesitation into nothing next time.

Several millions of square kilometers looked like a lot but were not much to Di Jiu.

After Di Jiu said this, a grateful aura could be felt from the surrounding Furious Root Trees.

Di Jiu did not expect that when he continued moving forward, the entangled Furious Root Trees in front of his eyes would turn into a flat path.

He was very satisfied, as it seemed that the Furious Root Trees had reached a certain stage of intelligence and knew how to be grateful.

Thanks to Xing Jing-ang’s locale crystal ball and this flat path, Di Jiu walked much faster.

Within one hour, he had arrived at the location Xing Jing-ang’s locale crystal ball gave but he did not search for the weak void node there. His gaze landed on the tree root house instead.

Di Jiu actually knew very well that two cultivators were going to die here. They had drawn out their Dharma treasures, which formed a protection space. However, their protection space was enveloped by the endless tree roots of the Furious Root Trees.

Di Jiu only occasionally saw a ray of flame between the tree roots, which had been evidently drawn out by the two trapped cultivators.

However, their flame and Di Jiu’s flame were worlds apart. It would be hard for them to burn some of the tree roots outside their protection space, let alone burn all of them.

“Release them,” Di Jiu said since they were fellow Daoists.

The surrounding Furious Root Trees were very respectful to Di Jiu, so their tree roots vanished completely at his words.

Two pale women then appeared in front of Di Jiu, who recognized them. One of them was the founder of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, Yan Hui, while the other was a supremacy-level expert.

It was the Virtuous Nirvana Sect’s disciple, Mo Yuxuan. Her cultivation level had attained the late-stage Immortal King Realm, as her deep foundation had been laid by Di Jiu. Otherwise, she might have been unable to cultivate so quickly even though she had a Nirmala Spirit Body.

“It’s you?” Yan Hui looked at Di Jiu in shock as if doubting why he was still alive.

Di Jiu knew that this old Dao nun was not aware of his power in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. It looked like after she’d left the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City with Mo Yuxuan back then, she had never returned.

On the other hand, Mo Yuxuan was extremely pleased and excited. Two tears formed at the edge of her eyes.
