Chapter 822: Tree of Life 801 leaves_1
The Xiumo King immediately used his metal claws to defend himself.
"Boom!" With a thunderous explosion, Chu Qin's Pangu Axe struck the Xiumo King's metal claws, instantly forcing the Xiumo King to kneel on the ground!
With the descent of Chu Qin's axe, it seemed as if the Dao itself was collapsing, creating a sensation of heaven and earth shattering.
At this moment, the ground utterly turned into nothingness, and the terrifying aftermath repelled tens of thousands of Nether Beasts. Those Nether Beasts below the level of Demi-Emperor were directly slain, revealing God Crystals one by one!
"Ah!" The Xiumo King desperately tried to withstand Chu Qin's Pangu Axe, but it was as if he were trying to lift an entire galaxy, not only failing to hold it back but also being chopped down to the ground.
In the end, with a single swing of his axe, Chu Qin directly killed the Xiumo King!
Witnessing this scene, Huo Ninger and the others' pupils dilated, and the remaining Nether Beasts, one by one, trembled with fear and sought to flee.
And at this time, two immensely large ferocious beasts, bearing endless strength, flew out from the Grand Pass, crushing the Nether Beasts like stars!
In an instant, the heavens and earth dulled, the sun and moon lost their light, and these ferocious beasts faced their doomsday.
These two ferocious beasts were none other than Xiao Qiu and the Dragon Blood Qilin.
One can imagine that under their supercharged assault, another large batch of Nether Beasts perished.
Most of these Nether Beasts were at the level of Demi-Emperor, and there were only a few dozen Supreme God Nether Beasts; how could they possibly be opponents against the combined might of two Sky Calamity Supreme Gods?
Though both Sky Calamity Supreme Gods and Supreme Gods are of the Supreme God tier, the difference between them is like that of an Unparalleled Douluo and a Soul Ancestor—the numbers hardly make a difference!
Meanwhile, four identical Chu Qins surrounded the group of Nether Beasts.
Chu Qin and his three clones, wielding Supreme Divine Power together, exerted a terrifying pressure that forced the Nether Beasts to kneel on the ground.
Still, Chu Qin showed no mercy. The four "Chu Qins" acted decisively, swirling with terrifying Supreme Divine Power, annihilating all the remaining Nether Beasts.
Chu Qin's Tri-Clear Unification was growing increasingly powerful, with each clone now possessing seventy percent of Chu Qin's strength. If Chu Qin's current strength had already surpassed that of a Sky Calamity Supreme God, then his clones were at least of the rank of Sky Calamity Supreme God!
"How much stronger has Chu Qin become in just half a year?" Bi Bidong murmured, furrowing her brows.
"I don't know, but all I know is that we'll never be able to catch up to him," Xiaowu said with a touch of a sigh. "Perhaps, only Sister Xi E can."
"Xiaowu, you're overestimating me," Xi E said with a wry smile. "Right now, I can at most defeat one of his clones. This freak!"
Huo Ninger and Blazing Sun, along with the others, were completely stunned!
Chu Qin along with these two beasts were simply too powerful!
They believed that even the current Divine Emperor, Ming Emperor, the City Lord of Fuxi City, and the Chi Emperor could not possibly possess such terrifying strength.
The might of these two lower-plane powerhouses completely reset their understanding.
At this time, Chu Qin recalled his clones, took all of the Xiumo King's Imperial Seals, and left behind the God Crystals.
Xiao Qiu and the Dragon Blood Qilin then re-entered his body.
Chu Qin arrived at the Grand Pass and, seeing the stunned expressions on Blazing Sun and the others, said with a slight smile, "What are you all standing around for? Clean up, it's time for a feast!"
"Yes, yes, at once!" Blazing Sun finally snapped out of it, leading the Fire Kingdom's mighty ones and the soldiers of the Grand Pass to deal with the carcasses of the Nether Beasts.
Their astonishment lingered for a long time.
Originally, they had braced themselves for a fight to the death, never expecting to wind up gathering the corpses of the Nether Beasts.
"Thank you, Chu Qin, our benefactor!" Huo Ninger, having come to her senses, quickly bowed in gratitude toward Chu Qin.
Huo Ninger's heart was filled with shock and even more admiration. This Chu Qin was just too handsome, too strong!
He was definitely the strongest person she had ever seen!
"There's no need to call me benefactor, just Chu Qin will do," Chu Qin said with a light smile.
"Yes, Chu Qin..." Huo Ninger nodded and replied.
"Ning'er sister, I address you as sister, perhaps, you could call Chu Qin 'brother,'" Xi E teased.
Upon hearing this, Huo Ninger's pretty face blushed slightly, and she found herself at a loss for words. Chu Qin, however, intervened and said, "Xi E, Huo Ninger is much older than me, so 'brother' isn't quite suitable. Of course, 'little brother' won't do either, so Chu Qin is the most appropriate."
"Mm-hmm." Huo Ninger nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back for now, we're waiting to feast on the Nether Beast," Chu Qin said with an easy smile.
"Chu Qin!" Back at the Fire God Palace, Yina suddenly called out.
"What is it?" Chu Qin turned around, looking at Yina with a gentle gaze.
"Chu Qin, I remembered something. Can we talk in private?" Yina asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yiyi couldn't help but cover her mouth with a smile, while Chu Qin nodded in response.
Following that, Chu Qin followed Yina into her room.
"What's up, Yina?" Chu Qin asked. Outside, Chu Qin would address her as Moon Emperor, but in private, he felt that Yina was more fitting.
"I've remembered. It's about the Tree of Life," Yina began, pulling out a box from her Soul-Guiding Divine Artifact.
Upon opening the box, there was a tender leaf inside that looked no different from any ordinary one, but Chu Qin noticed that the patterns on the leaf were quite unusual.
At first glance, the markings on the leaf seemed to be nothing special.
However, when viewed through the True Sight Eye, the vein patterns on the leaf appeared to be meticulously crafted, resembling an extremely intricate drawing, dense and indecipherable.
But without a doubt, it was out of the ordinary.
"What is this?" Chu Qin asked, taking the leaf with curiosity. Holding it in his hand, a power that was indescribable and yet unmistakable immediately transmitted from his fingertips.
"It's a leaf from the Tree of Life," Yina said. "I didn't remember it until now, but I've kept a leaf from the Tree of Life, and perhaps it could be of help to you."
"Since it's a leaf of life, it must be extremely precious," Chu Qin remarked. "Are you sure about giving it to me?"
"Just take it," Yina responded with a smile that was slightly annoyed. "Do we really need to stand on ceremony with each other?"
Hearing this, Chu Qin chuckled inwardly but deliberately said, "But what is our relationship, exactly?"
Yina's eyebrows knit together, and it looked like she rolled her eyes. "Consider it recompense for the Ghost Emperor Sword you gave me," she said.
"That won't do, you also gave me the Star Ring," Chu Qin playfully responded. "I'll treat this leaf as if I owe you a favor."
"As you wish," Yina replied with a nod and a smile.
"Alright then, I'll take it back and study it. I'll be on my way," Chu Qin said, exiting Yina's room.
While Chu Qin was known to be a ladies' man, Yina was the one person he couldn't figure out. Sometimes she was extremely distant, other times she was so intimate, which truly baffled Chu Qin, making him hesitant to say anything clear.
If Yina were to reject him, then Chu Qin would indeed have no chance at all.
Therefore, Chu Qin decided it would be best to confess his feelings to Yina after slaying the Blood Demon, to ensure stability.
