Chapter 722 The Mysterious Light of Life and Death [Please Subscribe]

The appearance of "Imperial Dew" is undoubtedly more convincing than anything else.

Therefore, upon seeing the "Imperial Dew" appear, Zhou Chun's mood improved considerably, even though he had not yet regained his mental connection with the Wood Spirit Mu Sang.

He gazed intently at the full moon in the sky and calmed himself down to wait.

Wisps of silvery nectar drifted down from the sky, all converging into the sinkhole.

Following the guidance of these silvery nectars, Zhou Chun soon made a delightful discovery.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, a charred stone that he had almost ignored suddenly shed its luster and radiated a vibrant emerald green light.

As the silvery nectar continued to fall onto the stone, its emerald green radiance became increasingly dazzling.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.

But just as he was quietly observing this scene, his expression suddenly changed, and his sharp eyes swept towards a certain direction in the sky.

Dozens of miles to the west, a green light was rapidly approaching, and within the green light was a Wood Spirit King with green hair and blue eyes!

The Wood Spirit King originally arrived using the Wood Escape Technique, but unfortunately, the Wood Spirit Mu Sang had previously destroyed all the vegetation within a radius of dozens of miles using the [Gift of Life] innate divine power, which limited his Wood Escape Technique to only reach a few dozen miles away.

This also forced him to be exposed to Zhou Chun's perception.

Seeing that he clearly intended to target "Emperor's Dew", how could Zhou Chun let him succeed!

Immediately, Zhou Chun opened his mouth and spat out a golden divine light that shot towards the green escape light through the air.

However, it directly activated the [Formless Gengjin Divine Light] supernatural power that he had cultivated for many years.

The Wood Spirit King seemed to sense the danger as well, and immediately stopped his escape. With a wave of his sleeve, green light surged out and transformed into a large leaf-shaped spirit shield in front of him.

Although he did not dare to underestimate the power of that golden divine light, he still underestimated the power of this divine ability.

The golden divine light landed on the leaf-shaped spirit shield, instantly tearing a crack in it, and then, with its remaining force, struck the spirit king's true form.

Fortunately, the Spirit King was wearing a rattan armor woven from fifth-order spirit vines. When the golden divine light fell on the rattan armor, it left a deep mark on it, but ultimately failed to completely penetrate this rattan armor, which was comparable to a top-grade magic weapon.

Despite this, the Wood Spirit King, startled by this, immediately turned around and retreated rapidly in the direction he had come from.

Zhou Chun did not let him off so easily. He made a hand seal, and a ball of golden light appeared in front of him, instantly transforming into a golden lightning bolt that struck the Spirit King.

This is another supernatural power he has been diligently cultivating: [Gengjin Sky-Splitting Thunder].

In a flash of lightning, the golden lightning had already caught up with the fleeing green light.

The Wood Spirit King was a decisive man. He activated the protective magic attached to his rattan armor with all his might, and did not stop for a moment even as he was forced to withstand Zhou Chun's attack.

With a low growl and the rise of cyan smoke, the Wood Spirit King finally managed to escape into the lush Blackwood Forest, and then quickly used his superb Wood Escape Technique to flee the area.

"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast!"

Zhou Chun let out a cold snort and turned his gaze back to the sinkhole.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid any further complications, even if he couldn't stop the Spirit King from leaving, he would never have let him leave so easily.

Inside the sinkhole, the charred black stone had been completely stripped of its luster, revealing the emerald green crystals within.

This emerald green crystal, riddled with cracks, was none other than the demon core of the Wood Spirit, Mu Sang.

The last lightning strike had shattered its spirit deer body, leaving only a hard demon core struggling to hold on.

In the end, even the demon core shattered under the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning, and its consciousness was almost extinguished.

This is also why Zhou Chun suddenly lost his mental connection with it.

Because in this state, it can be said that it is truly in a state of near-death, and could perish completely at any moment!

But perhaps Heaven truly cherishes life, or perhaps the ultimate form of death is life itself.

As the power of the tribulation lightning dissipated, Mu Mei Mu Sang, whose consciousness had not yet been completely extinguished, successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation according to the judgment of the Heavenly Dao's will.

Therefore, the "Imperial Dew," representing the vitality and creation of life, descended and bestowed upon it new life.

At this time, nourished by the continuous flow of "Emperor's Essence", Mu Sang's almost extinguished consciousness was rapidly stabilizing and growing stronger, and the demon core that was originally full of cracks was also visibly healing and recovering.

Danger and opportunity coexist. After the overwhelming Heavenly Tribulation, the amount of "Emperor's Dew" that falls far exceeds the amount that other fifth-order demon kings can obtain.

Even the amount of "Emperor's Dew" that Fushanjun obtained back then was less than two-thirds of what Mumei Musang obtained this time.

Zhou Chun, seeing that Mu Sang's injury was too severe this time, did not choose to collect some of the "Emperor's Essence" for other purposes.

Thus, nourished by the abundant "Imperial Dew," the Wood Spirit Mu Sang was reborn under the watchful eyes of Zhou Chun and Feng Yuanjun.

As the last wisp of "Imperial Dew" fell, the silver full moon in the sky seemed to appear suddenly and then abruptly disappear.

Looking into the sinkhole again, the green light gradually faded and dissipated, revealing the figure of a flesh-and-blood emerald green spirit deer.

This spirit deer was over ten zhang long, with a pair of emerald green antlers on its head that had dozens of forks, making it look like two branches full of twigs.

The green spiritual patterns on the deer's body are interwoven and arranged like the fine veins on a leaf, mysterious, beautiful and elegant.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Chun and Mu Sang's severed spiritual connection was restored.

"Mu Sang, how are you feeling now?"

Looking at the fully-fledged spirit deer in the sinkhole, Zhou Chun couldn't help but ask about the situation.

His words seemed to awaken the newborn spirit deer.

Then he opened his eyes, and his emerald green eyes immediately looked at Zhou Chun.

A flash of joy appeared in the deer's eyes, and it quickly replied to Zhou Chun, "Replying to Master, I feel great now, better than ever before!"

As he spoke, he shook his head and stomped his four hooves on the ground, instantly transforming into a streak of green light and flying in front of Zhou Chun and Feng Yuanjun.

Then, with eyes full of excitement, he shook his head at Zhou Chun and said, "Master, touch it and see if there's any difference between my body and that of a real demon beast!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun also became interested.

As he said, he reached out and first touched the antlers, then put his hand on the antlers and pinched the flesh of the neck.

The feel of it in your hand is no different from that of squeezing flesh and blood beasts; you can also feel the pulse and blood surging inside.

This amazed Zhou Chun, who nodded repeatedly, saying, "Excellent, excellent! It's just like a real body of flesh and blood. Congratulations, Mu Sang, you've finally obtained your own Great Dao Body!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Sang shook his head with delight and said, "Since even you, Master, think there's no difference, it means there really is no problem with my body!"

With that, it excitedly ran around once, expressing its excitement.

He had been waiting for this day for countless years.

Only after possessing a physical body can he be considered a true living being and truly have the foundation for attaining enlightenment!

This made him happier than anything else.

"Alright, let's save the happy talk for later. The commotion we made earlier was a bit too loud, and to avoid revealing our presence, let's leave this place first."

After watching him frolic for a while, Zhou Chun waved her hand and announced her decision.

Upon hearing this, Mu Sang naturally dared not object and immediately acted as his mount, carrying him and Feng Yuanjun away from the place.

Even after gaining a physical body, Mu Sang remained unrestrained in the forest.

He carried Zhou Chun and Feng Yuanjun through the forest, and the trees and vines along the way seemed to have come to life, automatically parting to make way for them.

This is the innate divine power possessed by the fifth-tier Wood Spirit Demon King, transforming him from the original child of the forest into the true king of the forest.

The trees and vines that made way for him were like his subjects.

Furthermore, he leaves no trace or scent wherever he goes in the forest; all traces are absorbed by the trees and vines.

Even the Wood Spirit King, who is equally adept at navigating the forest, could not find any trace of him!

After carrying Zhou Chun and Feng Yuanjun for over a thousand miles through the forest, Mu Sang finally put them down in a valley.

"Mu Sang, you should be able to transform into human form by now, right?"

In the valley, Zhou Chun dismounted from the deer and, unable to contain his curiosity, asked the question that had been on his mind.

Upon hearing this, Mu Sang immediately replied, "Of course."

As he spoke, he transformed into a middle-aged man with green hair and deer antlers on his head.

Then he raised his hand and beckoned, and the leaves and vines around him flew over automatically, weaving into a leaf robe that he wore.

Looking at his transformed appearance, it was no less than that of Feng Yuanjun next to him, and in some ways, it was even more human-like.

"So, what about your supernatural abilities? After advancing to Demon King, what kind of supernatural abilities did you acquire, Mu Sang?"

Zhou Chun looked Mu Sang up and down in her human form, then asked a question he was more concerned about.

Zhou Chun had witnessed firsthand just how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation of spirits could be.

However, his knowledge of the demon king's abilities was limited to fragments of information found in ancient texts, much of which was not even certain.

Therefore, he is now very curious about what kind of magical abilities the Demon King Musang possesses after surviving so many near-death experiences.

Mu Sang naturally answered all his questions.

As mentioned before, a fifth-tier Wood Sprite is the king of the forest.

After advancing to the fifth rank, the Wood Sprite not only condensed a flesh and blood body with the help of the "Emperor's Dew" power of creation, but also awakened and mastered a variety of powerful racial talents and supernatural abilities.

He can now disappear at any time as long as he is in a forest or grassland, and even the divine sense of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator cannot lock onto him.

His Wood Escape Technique has reached the point where he can travel a thousand miles in a single leap, making it difficult even for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to catch up.

At the same time, he also possesses an "undying body" that is even more powerful than that of demon kings such as Fushan Jun. Even if he is torn into eight pieces, as long as his demon core is not destroyed, he can use a portion of his original flesh and blood to reshape his body!

This level of "immortal body" has already begun to possess the characteristics of "immortality".

Furthermore, as long as he is in the forest, his perception will be greatly enhanced, allowing him to sense movements from seven or eight hundred miles away through vegetation.

If he wanted to, nothing in the forest could escape his notice; all the plants and trees were his eyes and ears!

Previously, he had to use his senses to find spiritual herbs, but now he can directly establish a connection with them, allowing them to report their location!

These are just the innate abilities that it developed after advancing to the fifth-tier demon king, similar to the innate supernatural power that a Qi Refining cultivator can use to fly after successfully establishing their foundation.

After advancing to the fifth-tier demon king, its original supernatural abilities were significantly enhanced, and it even awakened new supernatural abilities.

For example, the [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldier] divine power, which displayed great might during the previous tribulation, has been strengthened, and in the future, it may even be able to refine fifth-order spiritual wood into a fifth-order Dao Soldier!

Although this fifth-tier Dao weapon does not possess the supernatural abilities of a true fifth-tier demon king, it can still pose a threat to fifth-tier demon kings and Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and it is not easily damaged.

If he were to gather a sufficient number of fifth-tier Dao soldiers, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fight against opponents of higher levels!

Supernatural abilities such as [Heavenly Dew] and [Divine Thunder of Wood] have also been upgraded to the fifth tier, greatly enhancing their healing effects and offensive power.

In addition, he also awakened four new innate supernatural powers.

The first type of supernatural power is called [Wood Spirit Substitute], which is a top-level life-saving supernatural power. It can transfer all attacks aimed at him to the substitute wood spirit. The substitute wood spirit is also very easy to make, only requiring a piece of fifth-order spirit wood and a part of his own essence blood.

The key is that there are almost no restrictions on the use of this supernatural power of his, it only depends on whether he has enough substitute wood spirits!

The second type of divine power is called "Myriad Manifestations of the Universe," a top-tier illusionary divine power that can create a substantial illusionary realm to trap enemies, making it difficult for even Nascent Soul stage cultivators to escape.

The third type of divine power is called the "Thousand-Leaf Spirit Armor," a powerful defensive divine power with defensive capabilities comparable to top-grade magic treasures.

The fourth supernatural power is called "Life and Death Mystic Light," a powerful supernatural power that can both heal wounds and save lives, as well as kill enemies.

When using this supernatural power to save people, as long as they have a breath left, they can be brought back to life; it can be called an unparalleled healing supernatural power.

When using this supernatural power to kill the enemy, one can reverse life and death and destroy life's chances!

I left my hometown today. I'll try to resume 6,000-word updates tomorrow or the day after!
