CHAPTER 1830: CHAPTER 677: THIS TREASURE IS DESTINED FOR ME, YOU HAVE NO OBJECTIONS, RIGHT?

"Roar!"

A silent roar exploded within the Sea of Consciousness.

Golden waves surged and rippled, continuously shocking the Divine Soul.

In just an instant, Luo Chen felt as if struck by lightning.

His body lost control, plummeting toward the ground.

But a moment later, he shuddered all over and miraculously stopped in mid-air.

"Hoo..."

A stream of burning hot air expelled with his breath, faintly tinged with a crimson hue.

Not blood, but Origin Force!

A thin layer of Origin Force spread, enveloping his entire body.

Luo Chen slowly turned his head, his eagle-like gaze landing on Tai Sui behind him.

That glance was filled with boundless killing intent!

With just one look, Tai Sui’s residual thoughts uncontrollably trembled.

"Friend... let me explain!"

He shouted loudly, his voice even carrying a trace of desperation.

"I didn’t expect there to be residual demon echoes here, and caught off guard, you fell into the trap."

"However, this echo is not very harmful to humans, just enduring for a moment is enough."

"It was by no means intentional to put you in danger!"

The Moyun Cave Lord, barred outside the array, didn’t know what happened inside, staring blankly at the scene.

Yet he sensed, albeit vaguely, the overwhelming killing intent directed at Tai Sui.

He tentatively asked: "Isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding?"

Tai Sui seized the opportunity and quickly said: "Yes, it’s a misunderstanding. We have an oath in place, how could we intentionally harm you? Besides, I still need you to lift the array forbiddance for my true body..."

Seeing his panic, Luo Chen, who had been silent all along, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I hope this doesn’t happen again."

Upon hearing this, Tai Sui obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

"It won’t happen again, this time was just a negligence."

"Hmph."

Luo Chen snorted softly, pointing at the small ten-feet tree below.

"This thing is unknown; you know it better than I do—how to collect it is up to you!"

Tai Sui wiped away non-existent sweat, flying down below.

Landing in front of the Demonheart Tree, he cast spells to dig up its roots, explaining to Luo Chen about the subsequent transplantation and the use of the tree’s fruits.

But in his heart, he was full of doubts and shock.

"There was no third party!"

"From beginning to end, I didn’t see any other aura appear on him."

"The old ghosts couldn’t have lied to me!"

"Under the demon echo, a Nascent Soul aura couldn’t be completely hidden. But... how did he break free from the shock so quickly and recover?"

"His Divine Soul Endowment is definitely not that high; could it be the Desolate Beast Body?"

Luo Chen hovered in the air, eyes slightly narrowed, watching his busy figure, and from time to time, killing intent still appeared at the corner of his eyes.

The so-called Oath of Dao isn’t always foolproof.

The demon echo lingering on the Unity Tree wouldn’t take his life, so it wasn’t considered a violation of the Oath of Dao.

Yet, it almost exposed Han Zhan’s existence.

Had it not been for his cultivation of the Desolate Beast Body, enough to rival a Fourth Order Demon Emperor and Nascent Soul True Master, and beforehand quietly mastering the Kai Mao Technique through the Second Prime Elixir and System Achievement Points,

he might have been stunned by that echo, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Indeed, at this moment in the system panel, the Fourth Order Opening Thatch Technique had already reached the introductory level, and even the technique’s formula had been engraved on the Second Prime Elixir!

Under normal circumstances, despite Luo Chen’s talent, he’d never master a Fourth Order Technique instantly.

And the Land of Fallen Demons wouldn’t provide him ample time to practice techniques.

Therefore, to equip himself with an additional trump card, he directly utilized the vast System Achievement Points accumulated over years to instantly master the Kai Mao Technique.

It was precisely because of this that, when his Divine Soul was stunned, he could rely on the passive technique engraved on the Second Prime Elixir to instantly awaken.

"That roar didn’t harm me significantly, so why did Tai Sui need to antagonize me?"

Confusion emerged uncontrollably.

Recalling his journey so far, Luo Chen’s thoughts suddenly halted at the Hundred Crows Ghost Forest, with Tai Sui’s glance toward his chest.

"That’s it!"

"He must be probing for Han Zhan’s presence!"

"Those two friends of Tai Sui in the Hundred Crows Ghost Forest, since the Ancestral Dusky Vine Crow Ancestor could drag Han Zhan into the Illusion Realm, they couldn’t possibly be unaware of Han Zhan’s existence."

"According to Tai Sui’s temperament, he must eliminate any accidents and maintain solid control..."

In just a brief moment, the now calm Luo Chen figured everything out.

Even if there were differences in details, the overall context had no issues.

When Tai Sui brought over the uniquely-shaped small tree enveloped in azure light to Luo Chen, Luo Chen unceremoniously reached out his hand.

Tai Sui, somewhat reluctant, murmured: "The fruits of this tree contain demon blood. Consuming them long-term will greatly enhance a Body Refiner’s five organ systems. However, cultivating this tree is quite troublesome, requiring the flesh and blood of both demon beasts and savage beasts, preferably hearts... Desolate Beasts might work as well, but True Monarchy never experimented, merely hypothesized."

Swoosh!

With a flash of Spirit Light, the Demonheart Tree vanished without a trace.

Luo Chen turned to leave.

In Tai Sui’s eyes, there was a trace of somberness. Once out of the cave, instead of somberness was an eagerness.

"Demon King Qingyang, in this Wood Heaven Plain, I know several locations of high-order spirit medicines. Those were the treasures collected by True Monarchy!"

Seeing Luo Chen ignoring him.

He gritted his teeth: "The spirit medicines painstakingly cultivated by the Void Refining True Monarch are at least of the sixth rank and above, maybe even..."

Luo Chen’s steps paused slightly.

Noticing this, Tai Sui’s eyes lit up with joy.
