Chapter 2738: Blood-Central Demon Vine!

"That's Southern Dipper Sunflower!"

"Water Mirror Immortal Stamen!"

"My heavens, these are all fourth- and fifth-grade celestial herbs, rare treasures from the outside world, and they're everywhere here!"

...

Ahead, there was a large open space.

On the open ground, rare celestial herbs of all kinds were scattered everywhere.

When the crowd of experts saw these, their eyes turned red one by one.

With these celestial herbs, even if they weren't refined into celestial pills, they would be enough for them to break through!

"All of you, get out of my way! When did it become your turn? Tang Quan, take your men and collect all these celestial herbs—don't leave a single one behind!"

Just then, Daoyun Saint Sovereign suddenly unleashed a powerful pressure, causing the many Jade Empyreans to change color in alarm.

With a Saint Empyrean present, the good things naturally wouldn't be theirs.

Everyone's expressions were very unpleasant; this Daoyun Saint Sovereign was far too overbearing!

The Seven Stars Heavenly Sect took the meat, but wouldn't even let them have the soup.

Tang Quan, on the other hand, was extremely excited. In this open space, there were probably no less than a thousand fourth- and fifth-grade celestial herbs!

Some of these celestial herbs had medicinal properties that almost seeped out, causing his own realm to nearly loosen.

Without a doubt, if he consumed them, he would definitely break through to Saint Empyrean!

By then, he too would be a Saint Sovereign expert!

Thinking of this, Tang Quan was truly thrilled.

As for Wei Yu's death, he had long stopped caring.

"Heh, Daoyun Saint Sovereign, what a display of authority! I wonder if our Xuan Yun Heavenly Sect could collect some as well?"

From the crowd, a middle-aged man in unremarkable clothing stepped out.

The man's aura also soared upward!

Another Saint Empyrean!

The experts of Xuan Yun Heavenly Sect were overjoyed when they saw him.

"Tianlu Saint Sovereign!"

"Sorry, but our Qing Yan Heavenly Sect also wants a share. Is that allowed?"

As he spoke, another figure stepped out.

"Yuanyi Saint Sovereign!"

A third Saint Empyrean!

The hundreds of Jade Empyreans present all changed color in alarm.

Usually, Saint Sovereign experts, who were rarely seen, had appeared—three of them at once!

"Heh, your sects are truly overbearing! We scattered cultivators don't even get a share?"

As he spoke, three more auras shot into the sky. If they weren't Saint Empyreans, what else could they be?

"That's... Ziyang Saint Sovereign!"

"And Chongshan Saint Sovereign and Yichen Saint Sovereign! These three are all scattered-cultivator Saint Sovereigns!"

"This... there are actually six Saint Sovereign experts. Haven't we all become cannon fodder?"

...

They clearly hadn't expected that six Saint Sovereigns would appear all at once.

These celestial herbs, extremely rare in the outside world, had moved them.

Daoyun's expression was somewhat unpleasant.

He had anticipated that other Saint Sovereigns would come, but not so many.

Of course, he didn't know that there were actually seven more Saint Sovereigns who hadn't revealed themselves.

These seven were clearly more cautious.

However, they could hide from the eyes and ears of other Saint Empyreans, but not from Mi Tian's detection.

"Hmph! You fellows have finally shown yourselves!" Daoyun Saint Sovereign snorted coldly.

"Heh, with so many good things in sight, of course we had to show ourselves! If we didn't, wouldn't you have swallowed them all yourself?" Ziyang Saint Sovereign laughed.

"Showing up early is useless. Coveting someone's Primordial treasure, failing to get it, and getting kicked in the face—why bother?" Tianlu Saint Sovereign said cheerfully.

These Saint Empyreans weren't unmoved; they were just more cautious than Daoyun.

Although they didn't believe that Big Yellow was a Saint Sovereign true spirit, his performance was indeed extraordinary.

A true spirit that could suppress a half-step Saint Empyrean was rare!

Only Daoyun Saint Sovereign couldn't resist and made his move.

Sure enough, he got himself into trouble.

"Tianlu, don't be smug! That big yellow ox is extraordinary in strength. When he follows us here, I'll be curious to see how you handle him!" Daoyun snorted coldly.

"So, before he arrives, let's quickly divide these celestial treasures! Could he possibly snatch them from all of us?" Yuanyi Saint Sovereign said impatiently.

His words stopped the quarreling.

The appearance of the six Saint Sovereigns made the Jade Empyreans realize that they probably wouldn't even get the soup.

Especially the scattered cultivators—they simply couldn't obtain anything.

The scattered-cultivator Saint Sovereigns wouldn't speak up for them either.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The six Saint Sovereigns moved almost simultaneously, darting toward the herb field.

The sect disciples also set out at the same time.

At this moment, whoever grabbed more would naturally profit.

But just then, a sudden change occurred.

In the herb field, there was an ancient, gnarled tree.

This tree had previously been inconspicuous, as if it had withered and died.

But as the experts entered the herb field, the ancient tree suddenly sprouted tens of thousands of vines.

Puchi!

The dozen or so Jade Empyreans at the very front were directly pierced through by the vines.

Then, their bodies rapidly shriveled up, turning into dried corpses.

All their vital essence and blood were directly sucked dry.

The six Saint Empyreans were at the very front, and now their expressions changed drastically as powerful energy burst from their bodies.

Without holding back, they directly unleashed their signature techniques, slashing at the vines.

But to their shock, those vines couldn't be cut!

A full-force strike from a Saint Empyrean couldn't sever these thin vines!

The vines merely recoiled for a moment before quickly entangling again.

The six men's expressions changed wildly. No longer daring to covet the celestial herbs, they shot back in retreat.

"This is a Chaos mutant Blood-Central Demon Vine, likely at the Saint Empyrean Great Perfection level. Everyone, retreat quickly!" Daoyun Saint Sovereign shouted.

But getting in was easy; getting out was hard.

These vines frantically entangled them, preventing their retreat.

Fortunately, the Saint Empyreans' strength was indeed formidable. After a bitter struggle, the six Saint Empyreans finally broke through.

As for the Jade Empyreans who had charged into the herb field, almost none survived; all were sucked into dried corpses.

The ancient tree, having absorbed the blood, seemed to have found a second spring; the entire tree became vibrant and alive.

The other Jade Empyreans had already retreated to a great distance to avoid being caught up.

The six Saint Sovereigns looked at the menacing Blood-Central Demon Vine, their expressions extremely grim.

"Damn it, this Blood-Central Demon Vine actually disguised itself as a withered tree!" Tianlu Saint Sovereign ground his teeth.

"The Blood-Central Demon Vine's aura has grown much stronger. It seems to have been severely wounded and wants to absorb blood essence to recover its strength!" Ziyang Saint Sovereign said.

"Seeing so many celestial herbs but being unable to take them—how frustrating!" Daoyun Saint Sovereign ground his teeth.

Those fifth-grade celestial herbs were of great significance to them, the Saint Empyreans.

But seeing them yet unable to take them made these Saint Empyreans so depressed they wanted to spit blood.

"What a bunch of fools! Someone has already entered the Saint Luo Secret Realm before. If these celestial herbs were easy to take, would they still be waiting for you?" Just then, a disdainful voice rang out.

The six Saint Sovereigns' expressions darkened. They turned to look, and who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

"Kid, stop with the sarcastic remarks! Don't think that just because you have a Saint Sovereign true spirit, you're invincible. Don't forget, there are six of us Saint Sovereigns now!" Daoyun snorted coldly.

"Heh, who has time for sarcasm? I'm just here to tell you that since you can't get them, I'll take them!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
