Chapter 588: You People of All Races... Are All Fools
Chapter 588: You People of All Races... Are All Fools
In the sky above Tushan, the great battle was still ongoing.
Although Tushan’s grand formation offered protection and lessened the shockwaves of the battle, no matter what, this was still a battle among a group of cultivators in the upper three realms. The protection Tushan’s grand formation could provide was limited in the end.
More and more cultivators in the upper three realms were pierced through by the Moon God Tree’s vines and turned into nourishment for the Moon God Tree.
Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Gui Ning and Cun Caiguang had already made their moves.
Gui Ning transformed into his hideous true form and, carrying the power of the Eight Wastes, blasted toward the Moon God Tree in a single strike.
At the same time, Daoist Yunxi and the patriarch of the Soaring Serpent clan also attacked together, trying to shake the Moon God Tree.
The whole of Tushan trembled more and more violently.
But the Moon God Tree still did not move in the slightest.
Yet this did not come without a price.
Every time the Moon God Tree was damaged, quite a few Tushan cultivators turned into blood mist.
“Tushan Meng, have you gone mad? What are you trying to do? Are you planning to bury all of Tushan with you?”
After Gui Ning discovered that the Moon God Tree had already linked itself to the fortune of Tushan’s cultivators through the formation, his brows furrowed tightly.
In other words, Tushan Meng had already treated the Tushan fox clan as a kind of consumable. Whenever the Moon God Tree suffered damage, fox-clan lives would be used to offset it.
He did not understand.
In Gui Ning’s heart, Tushan Meng had always been an extremely rational person from childhood to adulthood. Her heart had held only the continuation of Tushan, only making the whole of Tushan stronger and stronger.
In her heart, Tushan was everything.
But now.
Tushan Meng seemed to have gone mad, actually using the entire Tushan as the price.
What exactly did she want?
What could make her go this far?
Tushan Meng still did not answer Gui Ning’s words.
Only the Moon God Tree’s ever-increasing vines killed toward Gui Ning and the others.
......
Half an incense stick later.
Tushan Meng appeared beneath the Moon God Tree.
She looked calmly at Yuan, who sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked, “How is it?”
“Enough Jade Pith Realm cultivators have died. As for those Immortal Realm cultivators, there are only three or four left to finish off. But Ascension Realm cultivators are still troublesome. In total, three Ascension Realm cultivators need to die. From the looks of it, that will not be so easy,” Yuan slowly replied.
“No rush. A meal has to be eaten one bite at a time. Naturally, people must also be killed one by one...” Tushan Meng answered.
And the instant Tushan Meng’s words fell, Ascension Realm pressure instantly enveloped Yuan.
The next moment, one of Tushan Meng’s long, snow-white tails pierced through Yuan’s chest without the slightest warning, like a sharp sword.
Yuan lowered her head and glanced at the tail running through her chest.
Her blood had already dyed that long tail red, as if a brush had been dipped in cinnabar.
Tushan Meng pulled out her long tail and walked toward Yuan step by step.
“Tushan Meng, what is the meaning of this?”
Yuan looked coldly at Tushan Meng. Blood kept flowing down from the corners of her mouth.
“Nothing much. I simply feel that if Senior were used as nourishment, the effect would seem even better.” Tushan Meng smiled faintly.
“Do you truly think that without me, you can control this formation?” Yuan’s tone was still so calm, as if she had not realized at all that she was on the verge of death.
“Why not?”
Tushan Meng stepped forward and took a glass bottle from her sleeve.
Inside the bottle was bright-red blood.
“Do not forget. When this formation was built, I was the one supervising it. And our Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan possesses a talent in soul arts and formations that other races cannot compare with. The other elders and I have examined this formation diagram countless times.”
Tushan Meng looked at Yuan.
“When we built this formation, we had already altered its formation momentum. You use the Moon God Tree to connect to the entire formation, and I have lived in Tushan since childhood. As the clan chief of the Tushan clan, I also have an affinity with the Moon God Tree. So why can I not replace you and control the Moon God Tree?”
“The only thing that gave me a headache was that you bound the formation’s activation to your own resonance of the Way.”
“Now that the formation has started, you have no need to remain alive. I will handle everything myself from here on.”
“Heh, heh, heh...” Yuan laughed coldly. “Grand Elder, what impressive methods you have.”
“Nothing more than ordinary measures.”
Tushan Meng looked indifferently at this towering tree.
“Jingci kept advising me before, telling me not to trust an outsider like you. In truth, how could I possibly believe you so easily? In this life, I will never lightly trust anyone again, much less a woman of unknown origin.”
Tushan Meng withdrew her gaze and continued looking at Yuan. “Although even now, I still do not know your identity, nor how many years ago your remnant soul is from, Senior, you have worked hard during this time.”
As her words fell, a cold gleam flashed through Tushan Meng’s eyes.
One ice sword after another condensed above Yuan’s head.
As Tushan Meng pressed her palm downward, in an instant, all the ice swords stabbed down toward Yuan like a torrential downpour.
In less than two breaths, Yuan had already turned into a pile of minced flesh.
Worried that Yuan’s soul would escape, Tushan Meng took out a Soul-Extinguishing Lamp.
The Soul-Extinguishing Lamp covered Yuan’s soul, and before long, both soul and corpse had turned to ashes.
After disposing of Yuan, Tushan Meng dripped the blood inside the glass bottle onto the Moon God Tree’s roots.
She reached out and pressed her palm against the Moon God Tree.
But when Tushan Meng tried to connect to the Moon God Tree herself, she clearly sensed the Moon God Tree’s resistance toward her.
Furthermore, Tushan Meng had originally believed that she had seen through every formation pattern and inscription of this grand formation.
Before this, Tushan Meng had indeed inspected this formation many times.
Tushan Meng felt that she was just as familiar with this new grand formation as she had been with the previous mountain-protecting formation.
But in the end, everything this grand formation revealed to her felt extremely unfamiliar.
That feeling was as if she had met an old friend. The friend still looked no different from before in the slightest, but everything within had already been seized and replaced.
And just as Tushan Meng felt puzzled—
Suddenly, Tushan Meng felt a burst of severe pain in her chest.
Tushan Meng opened her eyes, only to see that her chest had already been pierced through by a branch of the Moon God Tree.
“Cough, cough, cough...”
Tushan Meng coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, opened her eyes, and stared at her chest in disbelief.
“I told you, you people of all races... are nothing but fools. And the higher your realm, the more foolish you are, the more self-righteous you become. Yet Sister just refused to believe me...”
Yuan’s voice came from not far away.
Tushan Meng turned to look.
She saw Yuan standing perfectly unharmed where she was, looking at Tushan Meng with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Her eyes were full of mockery, as if she were looking at an ant.
......

[Under my family’s endless urging, I’ve decided to go have a meal and watch a movie with the blind date from last time tomorrow. As for whether there will be any progress, who knows... We’ll probably just chat normally.]
[Unfortunately, she doesn’t play games. Otherwise, I could take her along to storm the dam!]
