Chapter 1246: Boundless Demon Venerate

The Hong Meng Dragon Tree had appeared. Even though it seemed near, it was actually not that near.

In fact, it was quite far away.

Luo Yunyang was able to tell that the Hong Meng Dragon Tree was about eight realms away from him and would only appear in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm after going through these eight realms.

However, in Luo Yunyang’s opinion, it would be far too late if he waited until the Hong Meng Dragon Tree appeared in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm!

Even though Luo Yunyang had an extraordinary cultivation base, his opponents were equally outstanding. The appearance of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm was also likely to tempt the founders of both the Dakongfan Sect and the Taixu Sect.

If that really happened, then the others would really not stand a chance anymore.

The founders of the Dakongfan Sect and the Taixu Sect were highly proficient in their cultivation levels. However, the immense strength of their cultivation levels also limited their physical bodies when it came to being present in ordinary cosmoses and skies.

Once they chose to do that, it was likely that these ordinary cosmoses and skies would crumble! This was the very reason they should not allow the Hong Meng Dragon Tree to traverse across the remaining eight realms!

Whoosh!

A blood ray shot out from a distance not too far away from Luo Yunyang just as he was deep in thought. The user of this blood ray was fast and graceful!

Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao continued to keep their eyes peeled on the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. Their confidence had been dwindling ever since the tree had made its appearance.

Now, the blood-red rays sent even more chills into the hearts of the duo, as they sensed that the cultivation base of the red ray of light that had shot past was comparable to the cultivation base of a Yuan Monarch.

Even though the two of them were touted to be able to fight on equal grounds with a Yuan Monarch if they combined their strength, the truth was that there would still be a gulf if they actually fought against an actual one. This blood-red Yuan Monarch made them feel even more afraid.

“Alliance Leader, this… This is…” Yuan Venerate Yueyao stuttered without any composure.

“This should be the Devil Dao Yuan Monarch who crawled out of the Demonic Abyss,” Luo Yunyang said with a faint smile.

“Has he taken advantage of the current situation by charging out like this?” Yuan Venerate Rihui asked softly after a moment of hesitation.

Even though the two of them had focused less on the presence of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, they still really hoped in their hearts that Luo Yunyang would be able to acquire the Hong Meng Dragon Tree eventually.

Once Luo Yunyang acquired the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, then it would be easy for them to undergo training under the tree as well.

Other people who got hold of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree were also unlikely to care about the likes of them.

“This guy is nothing but a pathfinder helping to look for opportunities, that’s all,” Luo Yunyang replied with contempt as he looked at the rolling blood-red shadows within the rays.

Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao declined to comment further on this. If even their leader wasn’t very concerned about this Yuan Monarch, then there was nothing they could say about it.

As many thoughts went through the minds of the duo, yet another figure began heading toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

This figure was a giant golden bird that seemed to overwhelm and block out the sky when it spread its wings.

With just a quick series of movements, it had successfully come close to the blood-colored Yuan Monarch.

The blood-colored Yuan Monarch seemed to feel some level of fear for this giant golden bird. Other than increasing his speed of movement, he did not try to make any attempts to launch an attack against the bird.

Luo Yunyang was unfamiliar with this Giant Golden Roc, which seemed to have the head of a dragon. In fact, the laws being activated by this giant bird had astonished him greatly.

Even though the giant golden bird did not seem to have mastered the second sky law, Luo Yunyang still felt that it was unlikely that the bird was just an ordinary Yuan Monarch.

“It’s Divine Roc Galos!” Yuan Venerate Rihui said with a tremble in his voice. He had once again displayed his vast knowledge on matters like this.

“Do you know this divine roc?” Luo Yunyang asked as he patted Yuan Venerate Rihui on the back in an attempt to calm his nerves.

“Alliance Leader, I think we had better not fight for it this time around,” Yuan Venerate Rihui said respectfully after taking a deep breath.

Luo Yunyang did not reply. Instead, he continued looking at Yuan Venerate Rihui, waiting for him to continue speaking. Even though Yuan Venerate Rihui had a slightly timid character, he still had pretty extensive knowledge when it came to matters like this.

“Alliance Leader, legend has it that this divine roc was the king protector of the laws within the Dakongfan Sect. It was one of the key figureheads back when the master of the Dakongfan Sect subdued the Vast Sky Sacred Realm.”

“I heard that back during those years, it even tried attacking the master of the Taixu Sect!”

The founders of the Taixu Sect and the Dakongfan Sect could be considered higher-tier beings who had founded their respective sects. Even though they could not be compared to the Sacred Venerate, they were still considered the strongest in the world since the Sacred Venerate did not care about worldly affairs.

It did not take just courage but also a great deal of strength to be able to oppose the two of them.

“I don’t think that this divine roc is the same one that went against the master of the Taixu Sect.”

“Do the two of you confirm that you want to retreat?”

“Your Honor, both of us have decided that we want out of this.” Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao replied after considering this for a moment.

“Even if we were to join the battle, we would very likely end up being a liability for you instead,” Yuan Venerate Yueyao added sheepishly.

They had still wanted to participate just a while ago when Luo Yunyang had asked them for their opinion on this. However, they had now begun to feel that there was just a big difference between their abilities.

Besides, they found their self-protective behavior toward the alliance just a while ago laughable. After all, their abilities were just too different compared to the contenders right ahead of them.

Luo Yunyang wasn’t upset about their decision to retreat. “Since the two of you have made a decision, I will see you guys in a while,” he replied with a nod.

He rose into the sky as he spoke and headed toward the boundless red rays. He had not sprung into action earlier mainly because he had not completely detected the exact location of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Now that he had used its leaves to calculate its exact location, he began charging toward the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Just owning the leaf of the Hong Meng Divine Tree gave him a pretty large advantage, even though he was still unsure of how many others exactly were also headed toward the same tree.

From the looks of it, Luo Yunyang’s traveling speed was not too fast, as he was still behind the blood shadow and the divine roc. However, if he wanted to, he could still reach the Hong Meng Dragon Tree in an instant by making use of its leaf.

The divine roc had focused its attention completely on the blood shadow and had not noticed Luo Yunyang at all. The blood shadow, which was being pursued completely, did not turn its head, let alone notice Luo Yunyang.

Initially, Luo Yunyang had wanted to sweep in sneakily to reap the rewards. However, halfway through, a massive ominous feeling swept across his heart!

Luo Yunyang stopped right in his tracks the moment he felt this.

Regardless of the present situation, he was not prepared to take yet another step forward.

Just as he stopped, a massive mouth that covered the sky moved toward him.

It was engulfing him. This giant mouth was trying to swallow him.

Normally, most opponents of similar cultivation levels would not make use of any techniques that required swallowing when they were engaged in battle. After all, even though they looked very impressive, there were giant flaws in these techniques.

One of the flaws was digestion difficulties when swallowing an opponent with a similar cultivation base.

Besides, those who were swallowed normally did not just tear a small hole in the user of the technique. Most of the time, the holes torn would cost the swallower their life.

In the face of this imminent danger, Luo Yunyang had not expected a giant mouth to come at him. In any other place, he would definitely have taught the perpetrator a good lesson for swallowing anyone at will.

Unfortunately, while fighting to acquire the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, he had to really focus on what was important. Furthermore, as he was being swallowed, Luo Yunyang felt clearly that the perpetrator was not ordinary.

Luo Yunyang took a step back and instantly retreated a thousand miles away from the giant engulfing mouth.

As soon as he successfully dodged the first move, the giant mouth made yet another move toward him, using a greater suctioning power this time.

Luo Yunyang managed to take a good look at the person attacking him. It was a three-headed divine being with nine arms. The six eyes he had were looking coldly at Luo Yunyang.

However, what attracted Luo Yunyang’s attention even more was the tree branch this being was holding!

The tree branch was even sleeker than the arms of a baby. At about only one inch in length, the branch looked very much like a stem.

Luo Yunyang could pinpoint the origins of the tree branch from the moment he saw it.

This was the tree branch of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree!

He was completely sure that the branch the man was holding belonged to the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, even though it was unknown when the tree branch had fallen off the tree.

Now, he was sure that the reason he had been attacked was because he had chosen to take the exact same path as this man.

Luo Yunyang had absolutely no time to think about the coincidences shared with this particular man. Because of the incoming swallowing power, he used a single point against the giant mouth.

“Ha ha ha! You actually resisted the Sky Devouring Law of the Boundless Demon Venerate. You are indeed one of a kind!” The man laughed, the sound of his laughter resonating in the surroundings.

As the sound of his laughter spread, a few more shadows began charging at full speed in his direction.
