Chapter 611: Seizing Immortal Destiny
The sudden roar subdued the orb of light, which paused blankly before responding.
A loud rumble sounded, and the orb of light was immediately surrounded by the Soul Fire released by Duan Gujin.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The orb let out a piercing scream in the air, even though in the next moment it passed through the void and escaped elsewhere.
But the Soul Fire did not leave its body, instead, it kept burning.
"I will kill you all!"
The orb of light roared.
Duan Gujin coldly said: "Come on then! I am not afraid of you!"
"You!"
Duan Gujin and all the Devil Clan members watched with wide eyes to see how the orb of light would react.
But contrary to their expectations, the orb of light used the Space Escape Technique again and fled.
"We must chase it! We can't let it get away!"
Duan Gujin shouted, then he closely followed the orb of light, with the other Devil Clan members following right behind.
Those Devil Clan members had realized that the orb of light had been merely bluffing previously, its strength was actually pitiful, so naturally, they followed Duan Gujin to chase the orb of light.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, he had already identified what that thing was from the scent emitted when the Soul Fire was burning it.
"That thing must be a Tree Spirit!"
He had dealt with a Tree Spirit in his previous life and knew the characteristics of Tree Spirits.
Originally, Tree Spirits are plants that grow in the Nine-star River of the Divine World, which naturally do not develop consciousness, but after being bathed in the abundant spiritual essence of the Nine-star River in the Divine World, these plants gradually develop Divine Wisdom and turn into Tree Spirits.
However, these Tree Spirits have one major issue, they can only cultivate to a very low realm.
Duan Gujin immediately judged that it's highly likely that the mystery of this stage involves that Tree Spirit.
He chased the orb of light for a while, but the opponent seemed to have disappeared.
After a while, his eyes flashed, and he returned to the side of that withered tree.
He hastened to release Soul Fire into the withered tree, intending to force the orb of light to come back.
Less than ten breaths later, the voice of the orb of light came from the air.
"Can't you just let me go? Please, big brother, let me go!"
The Devil Clan members heard the orb of light's pleading voice, recalling how arrogant it was previously, and all looked on in silence.
"You say, I want to know what the mystery of this stage really is, don't beat around the bush, I know your identity!"
Duan Gujin replied coldly.
"So you know my identity, since you know my identity, then this stage will not be difficult for you! Congratulations, you have successfully passed this stage! Now I will give you an Immortal Destiny, but first, let me go!"
The orb of light said faintly.
"Okay!"
Duan Gujin heard the words of the orb of light, knowing that it was pleading.
Since the Tree Spirit was pleading, there was no need to make things difficult for it.
"Hey, big brother, we also have a share, we can also receive this Immortal Destiny!"
Nearby, a member of the Devil Clan shouted loudly.
"Do you know what my real identity is?"
The Tree Spirit asked coldly.
"This, your real identity is the master of this Space-Time Treasure Hall!"
Another Devil Clan member shouted loudly.
"Wrong!"
The Tree Spirit ruthlessly dismissed his answer.
Then, an incredible scene unfolded, Duan Gujin and all the Devil Clan members watched as the withered tree uprooted itself and, like a human, began running on the ground.
Seeing it run forward, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he pondered whether or not to follow.
Then, he sensed a powerful spatial fluctuation coming from ahead in the void.
"Go ahead quickly! My grandpa is waiting for you ahead!"
The Tree Spirit said.
"Grandpa? Who is your grandpa?"
Duan Gujin asked with a puzzled face.
"You just come in with me! My grandfather will answer your questions!"
The Tree Spirit replied.
"We want to go in together, otherwise it would be too unfair!"
Some of the Devil Clan were still dissatisfied.
"I have the final say here! If I say he has passed this test, then he has passed!"
The Tree Spirit was annoyed by the clamor of those from the Devil Clan.
Those eleven members of the Devil Clan immediately communicated secretly among themselves.
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Look at that guy, he's just average in strength, he's just a coward. As long as we can catch that tree, we can force it to acknowledge us as the winners of this test!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Other members of the Devil Clan chimed in agreement.
After they had decided, those Devil Clan members transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward Duan Gujin.
"Quick, go inside!"
The Tree Spirit said to Duan Gujin after seeing the movement of those Devil Clan members.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin looked at those unruly Devil Clan members, feeling indignant. He had wanted to strike them and block them.
But when he saw that Miao Yu and Lili were still at their original spot, he didn't make a move. His eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "Is there only one destined person for this test?"
"Not necessarily, but since you have revealed my identity, you are the destined person!"
The Tree Spirit replied.
"Can I bring some friends inside then?"
Duan Gujin tentatively asked.
"Yes!"
The Tree Spirit replied.
Hearing this, Duan Gujin thought that he should bring Miao Yu and Lili along.
If he didn't let them enter with him, leaving them outside could likely lead to unforeseen dangers. He didn't trust those eleven Devil Clan members.
"Miao Yu, Lili, come in with me right now!"
Duan Gujin shouted loudly.
"Okay!"
Miao Yu and Lili, who were not far from him, rushed toward him.
At this moment, those eleven Devil Clan members were also drawing near.
Duan Gujin knew that even after entering, there would be a confrontation with them.
He decided it was all or nothing, quickly forming hand seals and casting spells rapidly.
In less than three breaths, more than thirty Void Palms appeared in front of him.
With a thought, he launched the Void Palms at the eleven Devil Clan members.
"Damn! He actually struck us!"
"Everyone, attack together! Kill him! Once we kill him, we'll split this round's reward!"
Among those Devil Clan members, one shouted out in a peculiar tone.
Hearing this, Miao Yu and Lili were instantly furious, drawing their Dark Weapons and preparing for battle.
After that Devil Clan member shouted, the others did not object; they tacitly agreed that they must kill Duan Gujin and seize this chance at Immortal Destiny from him.
They knew the Tree Spirit was no match for them, and they believed after killing Duan Gujin, they could, just like before, use the withered tree to coerce the Tree Spirit into submission.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Void Palms Duan Gujin released made a piercing sound of breaking through the air, swiftly bombarding the bodies of those eleven Devil Clan members.
"Break!"
Seeing Duan Gujin trying to take on all eleven of them alone, the corners of their mouths revealed smug smiles.
They were well aware that the Devil Clan members who could enter the Space-Time Treasure Hall were all of Martial Emperor Realm, and though their Combat Power might vary somewhat, they had the numerical advantage with eleven of their side.
Even if the two Female Demons at Duan Gujin's side joined the fight, they weren't afraid.
"He he! Kill the male, keep the females!"
Amidst the group of Devil Clan members, one issued a sinister laugh.
