Chapter 1958: Chapter 2055: A Parent’s Painstaking Efforts
Fang Lin couldn’t leave the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, as there was a seal left by Fang Qingye. Unless Fang Lin reached the same level of power as Fang Qingye, or even surpassed him, he simply couldn’t leave the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
This was also Fang Qingye’s primary goal for this journey. If Fang Lin had no way to take that step, the entire world would fall into complete silence, where no one could survive. Only by hiding within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree could one continue to live.
Fang Qingye had painstakingly good intentions. He didn’t care whether Fang Lin could succeed in taking that step. He only hoped that his son could live well, even if he was the only one left in this world.
The Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree was an existence equal to the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu. No matter how powerful the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu was, it could do nothing to the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
But not everyone could enter the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. Only those recognized by the Sacred Tree and who had acquired the Power of the Sacred Tree had the chance to enter the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.
Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue both did not have the Power of the Sacred Tree and could not hide within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree like Fang Lin.
Fang Lin continuously tried to break out from within the Sacred Tree, but every time he was thrust back. He could only watch helplessly as Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue’s figures slowly faded away.
"No!!!" Fang Lin shouted, his eyes turning completely red. A feeling of deep powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.
Even though Fang Lin had become a Half-step Supreme, he still couldn’t change anything. This so-called transcendental being was just a joke. In this catastrophe, he was still under various protections, with the three Martial Arts Supremes of the Human Clan standing at the forefront.
Fang Lin felt some regret. Had he known it would be like this, he should have done something to change the predetermined history when he returned to the ancient times.
Unfortunately, there was no space for regret; what was meant to happen would inevitably happen, and what was destined to come would always come.
····
Above the Ancient Demon Ridge, Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue stood side by side. In this world now, only the two of them had the power to fight the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.
However, they were well aware that back when the three Martial Lords were still present, they could not kill the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu. Now with Hou Yi dead and Xuanyuan Ya’s life or death unknown, relying solely on Fang Qingye, even with Bai Qingxue’s assistance, they could not possibly be a match for the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.
But at this point, they could only do their best in what they could do and leave the rest to fate.
"At this point, do you regret getting Lin’er involved in this?" Bai Qingxue asked Fang Qingye softly.
Fang Qingye gave a bitter smile: "What’s the use of regretting? Moreover, it wasn’t me who got him involved, it was destined that he would be."
Bai Qingxue shook her head: "Yet, you have now sealed him within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, which in reality has no meaning."
"Indeed, it’s meaningless. The earth is in stillness, and being left alone is as good as being dead," Fang Qingye said solemnly, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.
"Living is still living, better than being dead," Bai Qingxue said.
Before she could finish her sentence, a tremendous vibration came from the heavens and earth, the entire sky was painted in bloody red.
At the same time, from the depths of the sky, a figure fell, its breath withering, life extinguished, it was none other than Xuanyuan Ya.
Fang Qingye immediately acted to catch Xuanyuan Ya’s body. The latter was not completely dead yet but didn’t have long to live.
"Fang Qingye, you’ll be next," a cold voice rang out, as the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu appeared, transforming into the form of a young man stepping out from the void.
When the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu truly appeared in this world, a dreadful pressure enveloped the land, even half of the creatures within the Ancient Demon Ridge perished despite the Sacred Tree’s protection.
Everyone from the Sky Swallowing Palace suffered a severe blow, each collapsing with dwindled life force, and Dugu Nian was no exception.
At this moment, all things finally faced the end.
"Tried my best, have no regrets even in death," Xuanyuan Ya said, his face colorless, as the ancient spear that always accompanied him lost all its power, falling alongside the Xuanyuan Mirror.
"I am still here," Fang Qingye said.
Xuanyuan Ya smiled, then closed his eyes, and his body suddenly vanished into the heavens and earth, never to exist again.
Of the three Martial Arts Supremes of the Human Clan, only Fang Qingye remained.
The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu constantly changed forms, sometimes a youth, sometimes a boy, sometimes an old man, thoroughly enjoying the transformations.
Fang Qingye looked at the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu with grave eyes, and Bai Qingxue did the same. Only by truly facing the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu could one comprehend just how terrifying the first being in the heavens and earth truly was.
If the Martial Arts Supremes were akin to gods high above, then the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu was the king among gods, inherently possessing the ability to destroy all beings.
Of course, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu was not without weaknesses; it was not a transcendental being. Though it possessed unparalleled power, its soul still had a lifespan limitation.
From the beginning of all existence until now, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu had lived too long, its lifespan should have long been exhausted. But in order to keep living, it relied on the Ancient Spirit Incarnations to absorb the life force of all beings, maintaining its existence this way until now.
This time, the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu awakened to truly transcend, seeking the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill within Fang Lin to free its soul from lifespan limitations and become truly immortal.
"You two, come and meet your death," the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, in the form of a youth, coldly said to Fang Qingye and Bai Qingxue.
Fang Qingye took a step forward, causing the whole sky to tremble, his Martial Lord’s might fully displayed.
The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu’s eyes gleamed, and with a move, it appeared in front of Fang Qingye, clashing a fist with him.
This punch immediately cracked the ground below, with magma gushing out from underground.
Fang Qingye’s figure retreated, yet he soared straight into the sky, attempting to drag the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu to battle in the depths of the firmament.
The Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu didn’t mind, directly chasing after Fang Qingye.
Within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, Fang Lin was utterly desolate, ultimately unable to step into the Supreme Realm of Martial Arts. He could sense a currently indescribable aura descending from the outside, one even more terrifying than the three Martial Arts Supremes.
Fang Lin was well aware that it must be the appearance of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.
But now, he couldn’t even leave the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree; everything happening outside felt unrelated to him.
This feeling greatly troubled Fang Lin. He would rather die at the hands of the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu than do nothing.
"No! I must step into the Supreme Realm!" Fang Lin gritted his teeth, closing his eyes, and once again entered that giant bronze gate.
This time, what Fang Lin saw was completely different from before.
