Chapter 1366: Subduing the Ancient Tree
The goal had already been achieved.
Now, as long as he could subdue the tree demon and bring it into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he would gain another powerful general.
The tree demon’s combat prowess was something he coveted deeply.
Hearing this, the ancient tree’s eyes lit up with excitement once more.
Immediately, it let down all its guard.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen did not hesitate and raised the black brick in his hand.
A dark light erupted from it, enveloping the tree demon.
In an instant, the tree demon was drawn into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The tree demon now stood atop the Peak of Creation.
Gazing at the radiant, thousand-foot-tall Little Green before it, the tree demon immediately prostrated itself.
“The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!
I was right! This is indeed the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!
This perfect World Tree… I never thought I would live to see such a perfect world!”
It trembled with excitement once more.
Then, it took a step forward and appeared beside Little Green.
Its towering, ten-thousand-foot-tall tree demon form also manifested.
However, in front of Little Green, it was indeed shorter and humbler, not daring to compete with Little Green’s brilliance.
Its entire body trembled, as if it were paying homage to Little Green in the manner of a tree demon.
“Great One, may this humble one take root here and receive the blessings of your Dao?”
The ancient tree’s voice rang out again.
Its tone was filled with utmost humility and reverence, yet also tinged with anxiety.
“Since you have entered this place, you have gained Su Jingzhen’s approval. I will not say much.
If you wish to stay here, then stay.
However, once you enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you must accept the life imprint of this place and fight for the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
That is, you must fight for Su Jingzhen.
Are you willing?”
Little Green’s ethereal voice echoed once more.
Hearing this, the ancient tree was momentarily stunned.
“Su Jingzhen? Jingzhen?”
It muttered to itself.
But it quickly regained its composure.
At that moment, it also noticed Su Jingzhen standing atop the Peak of Creation.
The aura of this consciousness was extremely calm and righteous.
It did not resemble that of a Starry Sky Demon from the Moluo Realm.
The ancient tree realized that Su Jingzhen’s identity was likely far from ordinary.
But compared to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Moluo Realm and Starry Sky Demons meant nothing to it.
Moreover, as a tree demon, it had no interest in Starry Sky Demons. It didn’t care to whom it pledged its allegiance.
“This humble one is willing!”
Without any hesitation, the ancient tree immediately declared its allegiance.
As soon as it spoke, a radiant, multicolored light descended from Little Green’s towering form.
It connected with the ancient tree.
The tree demon’s red and black aura surged once more.
However, on the surface of this aura, a faint, multicolored halo began to form.
This was the life imprint Little Green had bestowed upon the ancient tree, a mark from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
In truth, this was an immense blessing for the ancient tree.
Feeling this sacred power enveloping its body, the ancient tree grew even more excited.
Its towering form trembled once more.
In that instant, its aura grew even stronger.
The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had now been restored to 90% of its original state, possessing most of its former power.
Receiving this life imprint, the ancient tree underwent a profound transformation.
“Thank you, Great One, for this gift!”
To the ancient tree, Little Green was the greatest, most supreme existence in its eyes.
At least among its kind, this was the case.
“Little Green, I leave this to you.
I must continue working to restore the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”
Su Jingzhen bid farewell to Little Green once more.
Then, his attention turned to Heavenly Water City.
At this moment, the Fire Pupil Demon King’s gaze fell upon Su Jingzhen again.
His expression grew increasingly complex.
Of course, he knew Su Jingzhen’s true identity.
Though he was extremely curious about the black brick, he did not press for details.
Instead, he asked, “Envoy, how should we handle Heavenly Water City now?
The Barbarian God Demon Sect and the Heavenly Battle Demon Sect will surely not let this matter rest.
Even the Nine Dragons Demon Sect and other forces will likely make their moves.
In the coming days, the Moluo Realm will not remain peaceful.
Therefore, we must deal with the Heavenly Water Family’s affairs as quickly as possible.”
Su Jingzhen nodded. “Demon King, please keep watch over me and ensure that no other Demon King-level beings disturb me.
As for the matters in Heavenly Water City, leave them to me.
The Divine Flame Family likely has no need for the Heavenly Water Family’s resources, right? If you do, I will sort them out and hand them over to you later.”
The Fire Pupil Demon King immediately replied, “The Divine Flame Family is entirely self-sufficient.
Moreover, most of the Heavenly Water Family’s resources are incompatible with our attributes. Envoy, you may handle them as you see fit.”
With that, Su Jingzhen did not hesitate.
He took a step forward and entered Heavenly Water City.
With Little Green’s assistance, none of the hidden treasures, cultivation grounds, or other valuable locations within the Heavenly Water Family’s core areas could escape his notice.
A dark light continuously flashed in his hand as he collected all these items into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
However, even after gathering all the Dao-infused items from the Heavenly Water Family, the total energy was only equivalent to about half of the core energy from the ancient demon sects of the Trial Lands.
“Those eight ancient demon sects were all legacies left behind by the previous generation Demon God.
At their peak, they must have been unimaginably powerful.
Indeed, they are not something a mere Demon King-level force like the Heavenly Water Family could compare to.
Still, this harvest is quite substantial.”
Su Jingzhen then returned to the Demon Warrior Legion, where You Yue and the others were waiting.
By now, almost all the important items in Heavenly Water City had been moved into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
The spiritual energy that the Heavenly Water Family had accumulated over countless years still made this place an absolute cultivation paradise.

Before Su Jingzhen could say anything to You Yue and the others, golden text appeared before his eyes.
Another five consecutive notifications arrived.
No matter what decision Su Jingzhen made now, it was a source of absolute pride for You Yue and the others.
“It seems there’s nothing left for us to do here.
We can return to the Divine Flame Family.”
As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, Huo Yang became excited once more.
From the time they participated in the Central Trial until now, they had not returned to the Divine Flame Family.
For Huo Yang, it felt like a triumphant homecoming.
From sweeping through the Central Trial to annihilating the Heavenly Water Family, these two major events had solidified the Demon Warrior Legion’s status as the top contributors.
Thus, Huo Yang was eager to return and bask in the admiration and awe of her fellow clansmen.
