At this moment, golden text once again appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
You Yue had triggered another five consecutive emotional connections.
Without hesitation, the Demon Warrior Legion continued toward the direction they had come from.
The deeper they went into the Lost Forest, the more chaotic the aura around them became.
Ahead, raging flames spread in all directions.
Upon closer inspection, Su Jingzhen realized that the flames were remnants of the Nine-Colored Purifying Flame and the World-Suppressing Flame he had released earlier to burn the Demon King-level tree demon’s vines.
Unexpectedly, the flames were still burning.
Hundreds of miles ahead, Su Jingzhen and the others sensed an increasingly violent aura rushing toward them.
From a distance, they could see towering red and black light pillars rising into the sky.
"Damnable Starry Sky Demons!
I’ll make sure you all die!"
"I’ll wipe you all out!"
At the same time, Su Jingzhen and the others heard a stream of curses.
Within the red and black light pillars, the ten-thousand-foot-tall Demon King-level tree demon was charging toward them.
Its massive tree body looked somewhat comical as it ran, but all the creatures in the Lost Forest fled in terror.
Behind it, tens of thousands of other tree demons and demon beasts followed.
Among them were dozens of Demon General Realm-level beings.
This was the largest gathering of demon beasts in the entire Lost Forest.
Even in the central region, this force could be considered top-tier.
It was at least on par with the Divine Flame Family or the Heavenly Water Family.
"You old tree, you’re really slow.
With strength like this, how do you expect to fight my Heavenly Water Family?
My family’s ancestor spared your life earlier, which was already a mercy to your Lost Forest.
I didn’t expect you to dare come out on your own. Now, you’ll stay here forever."
Su Jingzhen gave You Yue and the others a meaningful look.
Then, an icy aura began to emanate from his body.
At the same time, Little Green’s ten-thousand-foot-tall tree body also radiated a powerful icy aura, which it lent to Su Jingzhen.
The level of this cold energy seemed no weaker than that of any core disciple of the Heavenly Water Family.
It condensed into a blue energy whip, which shot toward the tree demon.
Wherever the energy passed, the void seemed to freeze.
Seeing this, all members of the Demon Warrior Legion were shocked.
None of them had expected Su Jingzhen to have such mastery over the ice element.
"With such powerful icy energy, pretending to be a disciple of the Heavenly Water Family would be more than enough.
In fact, most core disciples probably don’t have the Grand Commander’s level of mastery over ice."
"Heh, this old tree doesn’t seem very intelligent.
With the Grand Commander’s plan, it’s bound to hate the Heavenly Water Family to the core."
"..."
As the Demon Warrior Legion members excitedly discussed, You Yue once again shouted seriously.
"Demon Warrior Legion, energy ball!"
In the next moment, the Killing Intent Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a killing intent energy ball, which shot toward the tree demon a hundred miles away.
This attack followed closely behind Su Jingzhen’s icy energy whip.
"Ahhh, you ants again!
Die!"
Seeing the two attacks coming at it, the tree demon grew even angrier.
However, these attacks didn’t pose much of a threat to it.
With a flick of one of its branches, a red light condensed into a massive energy whip, which shot back toward Su Jingzhen and the others.
Under the Demon King-level attack, Su Jingzhen’s icy energy and the Killing Intent Dragon’s energy ball were easily dispersed.
After launching their attacks, Su Jingzhen and the Demon Warrior Legion quickly retreated in the direction they had come from.
Their speed was naturally no match for the tree demon, given that it was a genuine Demon King.
However, they only needed to retreat to the battlefield where the Heavenly Water Family’s old man was fighting Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling.
Ahead, Mo Xuantian, Mo Xuanling, and the old man from the Heavenly Water Family were still locked in a fierce battle.
The violent Demon King-level energy spread for hundreds of miles.
Most of the Lost Forest had already been caught in the crossfire.
All the demon beasts that had been living peacefully here were now in a frenzy, forming a beast tide that rushed out of the Lost Forest.
The families and forces near the Lost Forest were destined to suffer the consequences in the coming days.
"You old tree, if you have the guts, try to keep my Heavenly Water Family’s ancestor here this time!"
When Su Jingzhen saw the battlefield, he shouted at the Demon King tree demon.
Then, a dark light erupted from the black brick in his hand.
A brilliant light enveloped the entire Demon Warrior Legion.
"Wife, all of you, don’t resist!
I’m taking you to a safe place!"
When preparing this plan, Su Jingzhen had already thought of everything.
Not only You Yue but all members of the Demon Warrior Legion instinctively obeyed Su Jingzhen’s words.
They immediately relaxed their minds.
Under the dark light, the Demon Warrior Legion vanished from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were in a space specially created by Little Green within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
After recovering to 90%, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss could now accommodate life forms of any level.
This newly created space was a blank, white void.
There were no landmarks, and they couldn’t see the iconic Creation Peak or Little Green.
They had no idea where they were.
"This space seems empty.
But the spiritual energy here is unnaturally dense.
Where has the Grand Commander taken us?"
"Is this the interior of the Grand Commander’s black brick?
I didn’t expect it to be able to store all of us.
What level is that unremarkable-looking black brick of his?"
"The Grand Commander is truly amazing. A space this large, capable of storing cultivators, can already be considered a divine artifact."
"..."
In this space, the members of the Demon Warrior Legion didn’t feel any sense of threat.
They curiously looked around.
You Yue didn’t try to stop them, as she herself was also incredibly surprised.
After storing the Demon Warrior Legion, Su Jingzhen suddenly descended into the dense forest below.
Under the cover of the world’s power, his aura was easily concealed.
Even the Demon King-level tree demon didn’t immediately notice where they had gone.
The tree demon and the horde of demon beasts behind it paused for a moment, as if searching for the Demon Warrior Legion.
After all, a legion of over two thousand people had vanished in an instant.
To anyone, this was unbelievable.
"Where did those ants go?"
The old tree demon was momentarily stunned, growing even angrier.
"Heavenly Water Family, is it?
Since you’ve entered my Lost Forest, don’t think you can leave so easily!"
As it muttered to itself, the tree demon’s gaze shifted toward the old man from the Heavenly Water Family, who was still fighting Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling.
Its aura locked onto the Heavenly Water Family’s Demon King.
It no longer cared where Su Jingzhen and the others had gone.
"Heavenly Water Family!
Die!"
The furious tree demon immediately joined the battle!
In an instant, it became a three-against-one fight.
Although the Heavenly Water Family’s Demon King was stronger than Mo Xuantian and Mo Xuanling, the difference wasn’t significant.
Originally, the fight had been evenly matched.
With the tree demon joining, the Heavenly Water Family’s Demon King was immediately at a disadvantage.
They had chosen the right place to find the Demon Warrior Legion and Su Jingzhen.
But now, the Heavenly Water Family was in a completely passive position.
They had even lost a half-step Demon King elder with the potential to break through to the Demon King level.
The old man’s frustration was understandable.
He secretly vowed that once he escaped these troublesome opponents, he would hunt down Su Jingzhen and the others and tear them to pieces.
Only by obtaining the core energy from the trial grounds could he make up for the Heavenly Water Family’s losses.
Meanwhile, outside the Lost Forest, the Fire Pupil Demon King and Lie Shan had arrived.
"Demon King, there’s a powerful energy fluctuation coming from within the Lost Forest.
Perhaps they’re inside!"
They had first gone to the Skeleton Mountain Range, the danger zone closest to the Divine Flame Family, but hadn’t found Su Jingzhen and the others.
Then, they had immediately headed here.
From outside the forest, they could already sense the Demon King-level battle taking place inside.
Lie Shan’s expression lit up with excitement.
The Fire Pupil Demon King nodded but said, "The level of battle inside isn’t something you can participate in.
Wait here."
With that, the Fire Pupil Demon King stepped forward and entered the Lost Forest.
"Huh? I can’t even participate?
Are there multiple Demon Kings fighting inside? Or has the Demon Warrior Legion already reached that level?"
Lie Shan was momentarily stunned, his heart filled with shock.
