Chapter 91: Heavenly Punishment
The wait was not long.
Yun Ye had enough patience.
As time approached noon, Tong Yuan finally arrived at Cracking Wind Valley with a team of soldiers, facing the Wind Tree directly.
"The Nine Bone Spirit Grass… This is the cornerstone for my Tong family to advance. After thirty years of preparation, this battle will surely succeed."
Tong Yuan’s eyes burned with excitement as he gazed at the remarkably radiant spirit grass protected by the spirit tree.
As long as he acquired this spirit grass, he was confident of stepping into a higher realm, an unimaginable opportunity for the Tong family and for him personally, representing over four hundred years of lifespan!
Failure was not an option!
"We will win. With such extensive preparations, no matter how extraordinary this spirit tree is, it has no chance of victory."
A man beside Tong Yuan smiled.
He had long azure hair that was constantly entwined with flowing water, clearly no ordinary person.
Li Fahxing, a Captain-level figure…
"Indeed, with such thorough preparations and so many reliable subordinates assisting, how could we lose?"
Tong Yuan nodded in agreement, but then scanned the area and frowned. "Has Ning Jun still not arrived? I should have mentioned he must be here today!"
A total of fourteen people made up the team.
He and Li Fahxing were responsible for dealing with the Wind Tree.
The remaining ten needed to hold the formation flags, cutting off the connection between the Cracking Wind and the spirit tree.
The last two would guard the narrow entrance, ready to raise the alarm at any moment.
Now, with Ning Jun missing, only one person was guarding the entrance, significantly lowering safety. This should not have happened.
"The life token shattered… Ning Jun is dead, perhaps he encountered some Chaotic-level monster due to bad luck." a young man said.
"Ah, I see. It seems Ning Jun was unfortunate; since that’s the case, let’s begin right away!"
Tong Yuan said no more. He raised his hand, and numerous formation flags spread out in all directions.
The surrounding Black Armored Spiritual Law dispersed as well, each guarding one formation flag.
In total, there were ten formation flags, so ten Black Armored Spiritual Law figures spread out.
Yun Ye recognized most of them: Shi Baiyan, Tong Huo Yang (Xiao Yue), Tong Kun, Li Shui, Li Fahxing, Qu Dongchun…
Most of these ten were from the Seven Great Families; only a few were commoners and minor family members.
Yun Ye was quite surprised as to why the Li family, being one of the Seven Great Families, chose to support Tong Yuan.
Was it because the Tong family and Li family were the weakest among the Seven Great Families?
The reason was unclear.
However, Yun Ye had no intention of investigating further; after all, they were all going to be thrown into the trash—this was not a world where waste sorting was necessary…
“Limitless Spiritual Law, borrowing power from the Great God of Empty Sky, Ten Directions Sealing Great Formation—”
“Activate!”
The battles of Spiritual Law masters are quite simple.
Individual strength is the foundation, and Spiritual Tools, magical artifacts, and formations can amplify that foundation dozens of times.
With this, they built an impenetrable barrier of power that no newcomer could ever hope to break.
Only characters like Liu Xiu, the destined protagonist, could possibly emerge in such a world and sweep away the eternal order.
Although Yun Ye’s abilities are extraordinary, he still needs to accumulate strength.
"Boom!"
The cracking wind roared as the Ten Directions Sealing Great Formation spread countless runes, isolating the entire sky.
Ten Black Armored Spiritual Law masters maintained the formation in a state of Spiritual Roots revival, their power beyond what any individual could withstand.
Moreover, the Ten Directions Sealing Great Formation was specifically designed to counter the Cracking Wind, possessing divine effectiveness.
In just a few seconds, the connection between the cracking wind and the spirit tree was severed.
Upon realizing this, the Wind Tree immediately launched a counterattack.
The white cracking wind erupted violently, transforming into a devastating storm that swept low, even causing cracks to appear in the metallic ground.
The controlled cracking wind and natural cracking wind differed essentially in power.
"Master of the cracking wind, I want to see whether the heavenly spirit wind is stronger or if my Tong Yuan’s Essence prevails!"
Tong Yuan took action, holding a spirit spear in one hand and a sword in the other. Just standing in place, he appeared as if a towering mountain had emerged, his terrifying aura making all the Black Armored Spiritual Law masters who were not on his level tremble.
In the next moment, Tong Yuan cleaved through the cracking wind, moving against the storm, as the spirit spear in his hand radiated dazzling light. "Heavenly Eye Spirit Spear, open your eyes!"
He hurled the spear forward, spinning rapidly and parting the cracking wind, causing the blinding light to condense into a beam.
A white light hole appeared before Tong Yuan, resembling a heavenly eye!
Then, he called out, "Artifact Release!"
Tong Yuan directly activated the second release, unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Eye Spirit Spear.
Massive beams of light gathered.
The white light hole expanded, transforming into a circle two meters in diameter, concentrating an astounding amount of spirit energy!
"Boom!"
The white beam pierced through a hundred meters of cracking wind, striking the trunk of the Wind Tree, and a fierce struggle of spirit energy ensued.
Moments later, the Wind Tree neutralized the force of the second release, though some branches had turned to cinders.
"Captain is serious right from the start, even triggering the second release of the artifact!"
Many members narrowed their eyes.
At critical moments, if the Captains used too much power, it could affect their future prospects.
The second release was nearly the strongest power; going further would consume their vitality!
"This is the Secret Realm…"
Tong Huo Yang gazed at the scene before him, his expression calm.
The Tong family has a distinction between the main family and the branch family, with true powers only taught to the main family.
This adopted daughter of Tong Yuan, to put it nicely, is an adopted daughter; to put it bluntly, she is a trained assassin from a young age.
Not only is she from the branch family, but she also only gained some value after surviving brutal competition.
He could see the end of her future at a glance; the power of this "Secret Realm" is undoubtedly beyond her reach.
The role of the branch family is merely to gather resources to support the main family, and there’s no need to think about anything else; it is impossible.
One could say that the main family rose to power by stepping on the corpses of the branch families.
Father’s love and son’s filial piety… Brothers loving and respecting each other…
Such things cannot exist in noble families; cultivation is about seeking immortality; who would willingly give way?
"Indeed extraordinary, even the Heavenly Eye Spirit Spear can almost be received unharmed?"
Tong Yuan grasped the stopped spirit spear, shifted his figure, and swiftly closed the distance to the Wind Tree through the opening created by the strike.
He had nearly deduced the true strength of the Wind Tree. Without secret blood, even if he joined forces with Li Fahxing, their price would be heavy to achieve a kill.
As the Guardian of the Nine Bone Spirit Grass, the Wind Tree possesses far more power than what ordinary circumstances allow, making it an opponent that a single Captain cannot defeat.
"Li Fahxing, secret blood!"
Tong Yuan shouted.
"Heavenly Disorder Method!"
Li Fahxing nodded, bringing his hands together to activate his family’s technique.
Water colors spread everywhere.
The world turned upside down.
In that moment, the Cracking Wind surged completely skyward, and crimson blood dripped down, shrouding the Wind Tree in blood mist.
"Boom!"
The sky of the Secret Realm erupted with thunder.
As the secret blood touched the Wind Tree, it was directly judged by the Secret Realm to be a murder of Secret Realm humans by the Wind Tree—this serves as the cornerstone for ensuring the operation of the Secret Realm; disrupting its function would result in punishment from heaven for the demons.
A lightning pillar, ten meters in diameter, crashed down, completely enveloping the Wind Tree!
