The Great Ruler: Starting with the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, it Shocks the Thousand

Chapter 89 Demon Spirit Tree

A vast expanse of black vines swept in, quickly forming a black cage that enveloped Qin Hao and the others.

However, in the next second, a dazzling bolt of lightning burst out from the black cage and instantly tore it apart.

Qin Hao's gaze fell upon a certain spot in the forest, and lightning erupted from his body, transforming into a lightning shield that enveloped Su Xuan and the others.

"You all stay here and don't leave the Thunder Zone. I'm going to chase after the person who made the move in the shadows."

If the people from the Wood Spirit Academy had remained hidden in the shadows and hadn't made a move, Qin Hao would have had a hard time finding them in their home turf, thanks to the advantage of the terrain.

Now that he had made his move, he immediately used the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy to pinpoint the opponent's location.

The strengthening of spiritual power by spiritual power, coupled with another round of strengthening by the Divine Soul Difficulty, made Qin Hao's perception of spiritual power extremely sharp.

Even though the people from the Wood Spirit Academy had concealed themselves well by taking advantage of the forest's home ground, Qin Hao still managed to detect a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy and pursued them.

Sensing through the trees that Qin Hao was heading straight for their hiding place, Zhen Qing's pupils contracted, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

"Quick! Split up and run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Qing transformed into a streak of green light and began to flee into the forest.

Although the other students of the Wood Spirit Academy were shocked, they quickly recovered and began to use various methods to escape through the forest.

Without a doubt, after witnessing Qin Hao's prowess, they all understood that they had absolutely no chance of winning against him in a direct confrontation.

The only chance of victory is to take advantage of the terrain of this forest and combine it with the spiritual techniques of the Wood Spirit Academy to fight.

If you are found, your only option is to run away. If you can't escape, you will be eliminated.

A dazzling bolt of lightning swept through the forest, quickly reaching the spot where the spiritual energy fluctuations were leaking.

Sensing the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations, Qin Hao immediately chose a direction and gave chase.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the king; you must definitely take down the strongest one first.

As Zhen Qing fled, she sensed Qin Hao's presence getting closer and closer, and she cursed him inwardly.

He originally just wanted to test the waters and see if he could directly divide the battlefield and separate Qin Hao's four teammates from the enemy to take them hostage.

Unexpectedly, the plan failed and the location was discovered directly.

Qin Hao's perception far exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, Zhen Qing was already frantically cursing the person who had provided the intelligence.

Judging from Qin Hao's current performance, it is highly likely that his feat of killing a First-Rank Supreme while only at the Difficulty Realm of Physical Body is true.

Qin Hao's current realm has reached the terrifying Divine Soul Difficulty. Looking at all the previous Spirit Academy Tournaments, very few people have been able to reach this realm at the beginning.

Not to mention someone like Qin Hao, who has an impressive track record.

Sensing the terrifying aura behind him closing in, Zhen Qing immediately shouted, "Wait! We can cooperate!"

I come from the Wood Spirit Clan, and I have a deeper understanding of this Wood Temple. Cooperating with me will definitely allow you to gain the greatest benefit from these ruins!

In response to Zhen Qing's request for cooperation, Qin Hao's reply was a black divine lightning bolt with an extremely destructive aura.

Collaborating with Zhen Qing is absolutely impossible.

Although he couldn't remember many details about the ruins of the Wooden Temple, it was impossible for him to cooperate with Zhen Qing.

As the other party said, he knew a lot about the Temple of the Wood God, but that also meant that the other party was extremely dangerous.

If you slightly alter certain information, you could find yourself in danger within the ruins of the Wooden God Temple.

The others were clearly not as good at hiding and escaping as Zhen Qing, leaving behind obvious spiritual energy fluctuations, which Qin Hao quickly found and dealt with.

They're all from the same spiritual academy, and they're all going to be eliminated in the same way.

After dealing with the Wood Spirit Academy's team, Qin Hao returned to the original location.

Not bad, the worst didn't happen.

Although Su Xuan and the others were not strong enough, they were obedient enough.

They obediently stayed under the protection of the thunder, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Captain, have you found the person who made the move in secret?" Su Xuan asked.

Qin Hao nodded. "I've found a solution. It was the people from the Wood Spirit Academy. They are proficient in the Way of Wood and have the ability to control these trees, but I've already eliminated them all."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a sudden and unexpected attack would have likely eliminated them long ago if it had happened to them.

"Let's go, keep moving forward. According to the information on the jade slip, we should be getting close to the ruins soon."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan and the others also became somewhat excited.

Even if they could only drink soup while following Qin Hao, the relics left over from ancient times were still a great opportunity for them.

After all, if they were to do it on their own, they might not be able to compete with the other spirit academies at all. But by following Qin Hao, as long as they listened and didn't cause trouble, they would be fine.

As we continued through the forest, a dazzling light suddenly shot into the sky.

In this light, a huge ancient tree is swaying constantly, exuding vitality.

A strange, ethereal fragrance wafted through the forest, and even just smelling it accelerated the flow of spiritual energy within one's body.

Hanging from the giant tree were emerald green fruits, and the vibrant life force emanated from these fruits.

"That thing, could it be the Immortal Spirit Tree?!"

Su Xuan looked in the direction of the light and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

For a moment, their breathing became heavy, and their eyes turned bloodshot as they looked at the Immortal Tree.

The Immortal Spirit Tree is a rare natural treasure. Its fruit has the effect of tempering the body and cleansing the marrow. In ancient times, most powerful forces would cultivate a few Immortal Spirit Trees and use the Immortal Spirit Fruit to lay a solid foundation for their disciples.

However, nowadays, very few forces possess Immortal Spirit Trees, so seeing an Immortal Spirit Tree laden with Immortal Spirit Fruits is truly astonishing.

Especially for cultivators like Su Xuan who are about to overcome the physical body's difficulties, this immortal fruit is extremely attractive.

For Qin Hao, the Supreme Tribulations were easy to overcome, but for other cultivators, they were a matter of life and death; a single misstep could lead to their immediate demise.

With the blessing of the Immortal Spirit Fruit, their chances of overcoming the physical difficulties would be greatly increased.

"wake up!"

Qin Hao gave a low shout, and the thunderous sound resounded in Su Xuan and the others' ears, immediately clearing their somewhat bloodshot eyes.

What's wrong with me?

Su Xuan murmured, somewhat confused.

"That's not a Celestial Tree, it's a Demonic Tree. It disguises itself as a Celestial Tree to lure people, and you were just affected by it."

"The Demon Spirit Tree?!"

Su Xuan and the others gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

They almost got attracted to the demonic tree and turned into nourishment.

"So what do we do next? Avoid this demonic tree?"

"Why avoid it? This Demon Spirit Tree is located at the site of the ruins shown on the jade slip, and it is very likely to be the key to opening the ruins."

Guard your minds and do not be seduced by the aura emanating from the Demon Spirit Tree.

"Yes."
