Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

As soon as the word was uttered, the enormous Kun-shaped ultimate spirit beast was enveloped by the sweeping power, and its spiritual body was destroyed in an instant.

Its body was filled with a large amount of black viscous fluid from its thousands of orifices, just like a human bleeding from all seven orifices. In less than two seconds, even its body began to decompose.

As Yunping's "Get out!" gradually faded into the vast space, the ultimate spirit beast that Zhang Ruoxue and the others had fought so hard for so long was completely annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

Yunping was in a bad mood.

It's worse than many times before.

Because the Seven Dream Trees have fallen.

Moreover, Yunping knew that there was no way to reverse the situation.

Perhaps with the power of the Seven Dream Tree, it might still retain a trace of intelligence, but even so, it would only be a brief resurgence before it is fully restored.

In other words...

At this moment, Yunping is witnessing the death of his former best friend.

The hand gripping the vine trembled slightly.

Ye Yuchan and the others could all see that Yunping was not at peace, but no one dared to say anything.

Everyone, including Zhang Ruoxue who had just landed, simply watched the man quietly.

……

Yunping remained silent for a long time. He casually tore off a few vines, and immediately hundreds of vines from inside the tree trunk attacked him.

He didn't dodge, but simply took a step forward.

The white-robed youth, walking on air, crushed all the hundreds of vines in an instant and arrived in front of the Seven Dream Tree.

Gazing intently at his old friend, Yunping's eyes darkened, and he placed one hand on the young man's charred chest.

That heart seems to still be beating.

He seemed to understand something, paused for a second, and then revealed a heavy and sorrowful expression.

Yunping took a deep breath of stale air, as if he had made a decision.

"If this is your enlightenment..."

He took two steps back, still hovering in the air.

He held his right hand horizontally and said calmly, "I have no choice but to... accept it."

His right hand swept horizontally.

A blinding silver light flashed across the sky.

It was a silver light that resembled the horizon, the sea, the Milky Way in the sky, and the dividing line between heaven and earth.

To outsiders, it was just a beam of light.

A beam of light sliced ​​the rotten, broken tree trunk in two horizontally.

boom!

The part beneath the youth's feet had completely separated from him, and the part below it was rapidly curling and twisting, gradually turning into a viscous black liquid within seconds.

At the same time, the roots at the base of the tree trunk also began to liquefy, and a black, viscous liquid spread from the ground to the surface.

Everyone could see the terrifying demonic energy contained in the liquid. They immediately leaped into the air, and Zhang Ruoxue even grabbed Lu Yingqiu and her apprentice by the hand, standing in mid-air, far away from the horrifying black liquid.

As the roots liquefied, the upper part of the trunk collapsed, and at the same time, the vines that were like tubes stuck to the young man gradually rotted and disintegrated.

The young man, who had detached from the tree trunk, fell forward. Yun Ping dodged and caught him in his arms, then looked at the latter's back.

The back that was originally embedded in the tree trunk... had completely rotted away. It didn't look like a limb that a living being could have; it looked like a dark, fleshy tumor.

As the young man left, the remaining tree trunk, as if lacking roots, turned into sewage within seconds and eventually disappeared.

The massive tree trunk that stood here not long ago is now gone, leaving the vast space more empty and desolate than ever before.

"That old rogue...what did he...?"

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Gu Xingzhuo's expression also turned particularly ugly, because he also had memories of the Seven Dream Tree.

He sighed softly and then explained, "The teacher... separated the rotten roots of the Seven Dreams Tree from its core."

"The rotten roots...does that mean eliminating the virus?" Zhang Ruoxue asked, tucking Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen under her arms.

"That's true, but..."

Gu Xingzhuo paused for a moment; how could he not see the tragic state of the Seven Dream Tree?

"I'm afraid it's already...too late."

……

Everyone looked in the direction of Yun Ping and saw that Qi Mengshu was embracing Yun Ping, or rather, being embraced by Yun Ping.

In the stillness, Qi Mengshu seemed to awaken. He opened his decaying, charred eyelids and his eyes, which still retained some clarity, with a strange glint in them.

After that, these strange experiences transformed into relief, comfort, and a sense of peace.

He slowly used his badly broken and bloody hands to grab Yunping's shoulders, barely managing to support himself.

He was very weak.

He was so weak that he didn't look like an unofficial member, but rather like a dying patient.

"As expected... you still saw me like this..."

His breath carried a hint of demonic energy and filth.

Yunping tried his best to remain calm, gazing at the Seven Dream Tree without saying a word.

Qi Mengshu couldn't help but chuckle: "What's wrong? Why do you still have that expression? I thought I'd see you... heartbroken for me."

"More than that, I'm concerned about who did it," Yunping said, trying to keep his voice from being too emotional.

He was trying to calm down.

Upon hearing this, Qi Mengshu looked at his body, which could no longer be called a physical body, and gave a bitter smile.

He shook his head and said, "It was that woman. I still couldn't escape her. Even though I was in a dream, I still couldn't escape her sword."

“You are not the ultimate.” Yunping’s tone was extremely heavy. “She has no reason to harm you.”

That's why I died.

"What do you mean?"

"Her goal from the beginning was never to take the ultimate life, and someone like me... was an unplanned obstacle, I was superfluous."

His appearance was like a candle flickering in the wind, and his body seemed to be gradually disintegrating with the gusts of cold wind.

It was because it was an unnecessary element that it suffered such a fate.

What exactly is her purpose?

“I don’t know. She only told me that I was superfluous and therefore had to be eliminated.”

"..."

Yunping didn't ask any further questions, but instead gasped.

Qi Mengshu gave a wry smile, his gaze falling on Ye Yuchan and the others behind Yun Ping, a hint of relief appearing in his eyes, "Not bad, those little girls and boys from back then... you've raised them so well."

"Truly worthy of being..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Seven Dream Tree suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and his body became unsteady, almost falling from mid-air to the ground.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly twice, saying, "It seems that the demonic energy has already corrupted my core... You should be able to tell, right? I'm beyond saving."

Yes.

Hopeless.

Yunping remained silent for a long time before nodding.

"I won't say anything sad. Anyway, you're so heartless, you probably won't listen to anything sentimental."

"But at the very end, I have one request..."

……

A dying wish?

Yunping remained calm throughout, nodding slightly. "Go ahead and speak."

Qi Mengshu grinned, seemingly quite satisfied. "I should be able to hold on for another day. Give me one more day... Come back here tomorrow, I have something to give you."

Upon hearing this, Yunping frowned at first, then said, "I can wait for you here for a day."

"What?" Qi Mengshu smiled and glanced at Yunping. "Want to spend more time with me in my final moments? Don't be ridiculous. You know I've been looking forward to death for a long time."

Yunping did not reply and chose to remain silent.

"Let's go back."

Seven Dream Tree's tone carried a hint of pleading.

But a simple smile remained on her face: "It's come to this..."

"Just let me have a peaceful dream."

……

Yunping pondered for a long time.

Finally, she nodded and agreed.

Seven Dream Tree was quite happy about this, and even on his deathbed, he still showed an unexpected sense of relief and joy.

"Then... I'll trouble you to come here again tomorrow."

"I think you'll like what I leave behind."

……
