**Crack…**
A branch of the Blood Maple Flame Tree suddenly developed a crack and fell to the ground. The fallen branch withered rapidly, its leaves turning brittle and lifeless within moments.
Ye Wushuang’s voice remained calm as he spoke, “Do you think I only recognized the Blood Maple Flame Tree without knowing its true nature?”
Liu Yiyu was taken aback.
“The Blood Maple Flame Tree thrives in the most peculiar of places—where blood flows abundantly and the land is scorching hot. To produce a seed, it requires the nourishment of fresh blood. How many lives do you think your Liu Clan has sacrificed to cultivate this tree and harvest its seeds?”
Liu Yiyu’s brows furrowed in anger.
“This divine tree, once fused with a warrior’s bloodline, becomes one with them. Your awakening of the Liu Clan’s Wood Spirit Bloodline allows you to fully harness and merge with this tree. The true marvel of this tree is that when you suffer a fatal blow, it can absorb the damage for you, leaving you unharmed.”
Liu Yiyu’s fury grew as Ye Wushuang revealed the tree’s secret.
“So what if I know?” Liu Yiyu sneered. “I am one with the Blood Maple Flame Tree. Any attack you launch will be absorbed by it. Once your spiritual energy is exhausted, you will surely die!”
“Hmm?” Ye Wushuang mocked with a sneer. “So the great Liu Yiyu, one of the top ten prodigies of the Heavenly Academy, plans to defeat a mere third-tier Yuanfu Realm warrior from the Ye Clan with such a trick?”
Liu Yiyu’s face turned pale at these words.
But compared to death, what did it matter if the victory was less than glorious?
“Moreover… by invoking this tree, you’ve already shown that your attacks cannot kill me. You’re just waiting to be hit!”
“How do you know I can’t… break through your Blood Maple Flame Tree?”
Break through?
Hearing this, Liu Yiyu laughed loudly. “Break through? Not even ten warriors at the tenth tier of the Yuanfu Realm could shatter it, let alone you!”
“Is that so?”
Ye Wushuang tightened his grip on the Tianya Sword, then looked at Liu Yiyu and the Blood Maple Flame Tree. Calmly, he said, “Let’s see just how much this tree can withstand.”
With these words, Ye Wushuang’s figure darted forward.
“Stabilize the Sun and Moon!”
The fifth move of the Six Elements Convergence Sword Technique was unleashed.
As the sword swung, it seemed to carry the light of the sun and the moon on either side, plunging downward with overwhelming force.
Liu Yiyu swung his spear to block, but the power of the sword energy was simply too immense. All his attempts to counter were absorbed and then vanished.
Crack… crack!
More branches of the Blood Maple Flame Tree snapped off and fell to the ground, withering away in an instant.
Seeing this, Liu Yiyu was stunned.
What was this guy trying to do?
Was he attempting to single-handedly shatter the Blood Maple Flame Tree?
A pipe dream!
“Stop dreaming!” Liu Yiyu swung his spear at Ye Wushuang, his black hair gleaming with a crystalline light as his Wood Spirit Bloodline fully erupted.
The Blood Maple Flame Tree not only absorbed his attacks but also amplified his own strength.
At this moment, Liu Yiyu’s aura was incredibly close to the peak of the Yuanfu Realm. The power released from his eight spiritual energy chambers was even more formidable than that of a warrior with nine chambers.
“Die!”
The spear lunged forward, but Ye Wushuang neither dodged nor retreated. He attacked with full force.
“Trample the Rivers and Mountains!”
The sixth move of the Six Elements Convergence Sword Technique.
The sword was raised high, its energy coalescing into a blinding light hundreds of feet long. With both hands gripping the sword, Ye Wushuang brought it down with a mighty swing.
The sword cut through the air like the wind, its killing intent pouring down like rain.
The hundreds-of-feet-long sword beam slashed down from the sky.
Liu Yiyu swung his spear to block the sword, but the impact was too great.
Boom… rumble…
The entire battlefield trembled at this moment.
This was no longer a battle between a third-tier Yuanfu Realm warrior and an eighth-tier one; it was a life-or-death duel that rivaled the peak of the Yuanfu Realm.
Bang!!!
Liu Yiyu’s body could not withstand the ferocity of the sword energy and was sent flying backward.
But the damage from the sword beam was once again absorbed by the Blood Maple Flame Tree, causing more branches to fall.
Liu Yiyu felt despair wash over him.
He had unleashed his most powerful attack, yet he could not break through Ye Wushuang’s sword energy.
A swordsman with a completed sword intent was truly terrifying.
But he hadn’t lost yet!
He still had hope!
Ye Wushuang could never shatter the Blood Maple Flame Tree. Once Ye Wushuang’s spiritual energy was exhausted, he would be the one to die.
Seeing the fear in Liu Yiyu’s eyes, Ye Wushuang sneered, “Are you scared?”
“Scared? Of you?” Liu Yiyu replied, his voice lacking conviction.
“Don’t be afraid just yet,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile as he tightened his grip on the sword. “The real fear is just beginning.”
