Chapter 233 Swallowed Up

hum!
At this moment, Zhan Taixuan beside Zhang Qian shook, and the immortal seed behind her floated up directly, instantly coming above her head, and then a root spread out strangely.

This root looked inconspicuous, but it spread downwards amid the head's crazy roars and curses.

Soon the root touched the top of the head.

Click!
There was a slight sound, and then the head suddenly rioted and roared, "Don't even think about it! This is my power, how dare you, a bitch, snatch it!"

However, no matter how the head screamed and cursed, the roots directly drilled a hole in his head!
Seeing this, Zhang Qian and Liu Qingqing's eyes were filled with endless shock. Zhang Qian knew that this head was left by a demon god who had cultivated into the Daluo realm. Even now, the power of this demon god had already dissipated a lot.

But the devil is the devil, his body is extremely strong, but now it is directly pierced by a tiny root!

Then a strange scene appeared. After the root drilled into the demon's head, it continued to grow thicker and began to frantically devour the demon's power.

And the immortal seed above the roots expanded rapidly!
It grew from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist in an instant and continued to expand and grow.

The demon god's head is a great tonic for this immortal seed. It directly devours the demon god's original power. In just a short while, the demon god's head becomes listless.

"Do not……!"

The demon roared, and a terrifying devouring force came out of his mouth, and he began to frantically devour the power of the entire innate spirit stone vein.

However, all this was in vain. Before the demon god could devour for long, Zhang Qian saw roots spreading out from the demon god's ears, nostrils and mouth.

These roots were like spider webs, completely wrapping the entire head in an instant!

A powerful energy containing the supreme Taoism burst out from these roots, directly cutting off the demon's absorption of the innate spirit stone veins.

Click!
At this moment, the fairy seed, which had grown to the size of a castanea, cracked open and a tender bud emerged. The bud grew rapidly, and in a moment it grew to about one foot high and became a small sapling.

When the branches and leaves of the sapling stretched out, the demon head roared with extreme unwillingness, and then froze in an instant, unable to struggle anymore, and the flesh and blood on the head was rapidly devoured by the sapling.

As the sapling continued to grow, the flesh and blood on the demon's head was eventually devoured, leaving only a pale skull in its place!
Through the dark eye sockets of the skull, Zhang Qian could see that even the brain and other things inside the head had disappeared.

"Who is the Demon God? How could a fairy seed from the World Tree have such terrifying power!"

Zhang Qian was secretly shocked, and had a vague feeling that he was being plotted against by the World Tree.

Previously, the World Tree had directly transmitted the message through the Immortal Seed, asking Zhang Qian to enter the cave and find the Demon God's Head deep in the mineral vein. Zhang Qian thought that when he arrived in front of the Demon God's Head, it would be a thrilling and hard battle. He also planned to take advantage of the battle between the World Tree and the Demon God's Head to make some money. Now it seems that there is no such hard battle as he imagined. The World Tree's Immortal Seed completely defeated the Demon God's Head, leaving it without any chance to fight back!
The demon head didn't even have time to utter a single last word before it was devoured and only a pale skull remained!
This skull now looked like a real dead object, empty inside. Even the remaining soul of the demon god originally in the demon god's head had been completely devoured by the sapling!

After taking a closer look at the hundred-foot-tall skull, Zhang Qian somewhat indignantly directed his spiritual sense towards the sapling on top of the skull.

In an instant, Zhang Qian felt that he had come to a world full of endless vitality and divine power. It seemed that this world was inside the sapling.

"You're here, thank you for your help this time!"

The voice of the World Tree resounded in Zhang Qian's heart, much more magnificent and broad than before, as if a supreme ruler was speaking.

Zhang Qian still couldn't see the World Tree, he could only hear the sound that seemed to be the way of heaven.

"Are you plotting against me? I thought that when faced with the Demon God's head, you would... I didn't expect that you would be able to deal with him so easily. If you are so powerful, why didn't you kill him completely in the first place, but did it now!"

This was something that Zhang Qian was very confused about. Judging from what happened just now, it was too easy for the World Tree to kill the Demon God. The roots of the tree dug into the Demon God and swallowed him up in a moment. It wasn't difficult at all.

"Why are you angry? I didn't plot against you. You are angry because you didn't gain any benefit from the fight between me and the demon god. Is that right? Mortals, even if they become immortal gods, cannot be too ruthless and cannot follow the true way of heaven!"

Zhang Qian paused slightly when he heard this. This was exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't expect that the World Tree would say it directly, leaving Zhang Qian at a loss as to how to refute it.

The World Tree continued, "The reason why I destroyed this head so easily was not because I had any plan, but because the Demon God's cultivation was only half a step away from becoming a Golden Immortal. His demon body had been tempered to the supreme realm of immortality, and even I couldn't kill him completely. But now it's different. This head has been suppressed for endless years, and his power has been swallowed and polluted by those resentful spirits. It has long lost its immortal power, so I can easily swallow it. Your imagination that I will have a hard battle with this Demon God's head is just your imagination."

"...Okay, I admit that I overthink it, but seeing that you know me so well and I have helped you so much, why don't you give me some benefits?"

Zhang Qian is thick-skinned after all. Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits, he started to ask for them directly. He didn't know what politeness was. He would never think it was too much if he could get any benefits.

The World Tree was stunned by Zhang Qian's words. After a while, it said, "Interesting mortal. I was once the Lord of the World, the origin of all things, and the source of all spirits. How dare you be so presumptuous."

"Don't dare, World Tree, let's talk nicely. I helped you, so you should give me some compensation. And since you chose me to be Xuan'er's protector, the stronger I am, the easier it will be to achieve your ultimate goal, right?"

The World Tree paused for a while, and finally said: "What you said makes sense. It seems that you know me very well. I am curious about your origins. You don't seem to be the reincarnation of an ancient golden immortal... Well, you have also seen the skull. This skull is indestructible. Even I can't devour and destroy it. I see that you have cultivated an extremely wonderful magic power. I think you are not someone who will be bound by the righteous way. Take this skull. I will transform it later."

Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat, and then he was ecstatic. This was the skull left by a demon god who was once only half a step away from becoming a Golden Immortal. Moreover, the World Tree said that this skull was indestructible. Not even the World Tree itself could destroy it. It was simply an unparalleled divine object.

hum!
After finishing the conversation with the World Tree, Zhang Qian opened his eyes and saw that the pale skull about a hundred feet high began to vibrate.

The endless resentment and evil spirit emanating from the entire skull slowly dissipated. The World Tree sapling burst out with terrifying power of creation, directly wiping out the resentment and evil spirit without leaving a trace. In the end, the skull became incomparably holy, as if it were a divine object that had been worshipped by countless creatures for tens of thousands of years, and it contained a kind of spirituality!
