Seeing the outcome of the clash, Zhao Letian couldn't help but frown.
The three fierce ghosts were manageable; as long as they had the Ghost King Stele, they would continuously receive energy replenishment, and soon they could heal their injuries to return to their peak condition.
However, the terrifying wounds on the Wind Roar Beast were likely not going to be so easily healed.
Just at this moment, the Wind Roar Beast suddenly let out an enraged roar.
Immediately, a blinding blood-colored radiance lit up from its body, emitting a powerful life force.
"It's the Eternal Tree!"
Letian's eyes brightened immediately, and he realized that this Wind Roar Beast must have been soaking in the blood-colored slurry of the Eternal Tree for many years, which led to a mutation and gave it powerful self-healing abilities.
Indeed, moments later, the blood-colored radiance dissipated, and the deep, bone-exposing wounds on the Wind Roar Beast had all magically healed.
"Such strong self-healing capabilities, this is the true Undying Body. I couldn't have imagined the effects of the Eternal Tree to be so potent!"
The White-robed Elder stared at the Wind Roar Beast, his eyes filled with intense envy, and then his gaze heatedly locked onto the Eternal Tree.
For him, killing Zhao Letian was secondary; it was just a task assigned by his family, and he wouldn't gain much from it. The most up‑to‑date version is on *.
The most important thing was to take the priceless Eternal Tree after dealing with Zhao Letian.
At the same time, the Mercenary Captain, after witnessing the rapid healing of the Wind Roar Beast's wounds, was also shocked, with his gaze fixed on the Eternal Tree, greed evident in his eyes.
He also knew the value of the Eternal Tree, and moreover, this particular tree seemed to be exceptionally ancient, making its value all the more astonishing.
Compared to the Eternal Tree, that head Wind Roar Beast was nothing. Even if their mission today failed, he was prepared to pay any price to take this Eternal Tree.
At this thought, the Mercenary Captain and the White-robed Elder from the Yu Family glanced at each other, a look of wariness in the depths of their eyes.
Both understood clearly that their cooperation was temporary; once they had taken care of the Wind Roar Beast and Zhao Letian, they would each use their skills to compete for the treasures here.
"Sir, it's time for you to show your true skill, don't you think? As you can see, both that boy's ghostly creatures and this Wind Roar Beast possess strong self-healing abilities. You and I need to use high-powered methods and with absolute power, annihilate them in one fell swoop in order to win."
The Mercenary Captain looked at the White-robed Elder and said in a solemn voice.
"Alright, they have self-healing abilities, the longer this drags on, the more disadvantaged we become. We need to make it quick. Let's not hold back anymore and unleash our strongest attacks straight away."
The White-robed Elder said gravely, his aura surging to its limit.
At the same time, the remaining King-level Experts from the Yu Family also formed a small battle formation, their auras interlinked, becoming as one, and their combined force was scarcely less than that of the White-robed Elder.
"Prepare for the combined strike technique!"
The Mercenary Captain's aura also peaked, and he reorganized the remaining mercenaries, ready to launch a fatal blow.
Seeing this development, Zhao Letian's gaze sharpened.
In the depths of his mind, he had a bad premonition. He feared that the upcoming attack would be unstoppable for his three fierce specters and the Wind Roar Beast.
Thinking this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately flipped his hand to take out Elder Mo's Token.
This object was a one-time consumable that contained a wisp of Elder Mo's Divine Soul Power, extremely precious. Zhao Letian had always treated it as his trump card, never daring to use it lightly.
But today, it seemed he had no choice but to use this treasure.
He was determined to obtain the Eternal Tree, unwilling to give it up easily. He was even prepared to use Elder Mo's Token despite the costs.
However, while Elder Mo was a King-level Expert, the Token only contained a wisp of his Divine Soul Power. Zhao Letian was unsure whether this power could resolve the situation with two half-step kings and the numerous Sect Martial Realm experts.
"Forget it, if it works, great; if it fails, I'll just have to use the Blood Style Technique to escape." Zhao Letian thought to himself, preparing to activate Elder Mo's Token.
At that moment, the Wind Roar Beast seemed to sense the critical situation as well and once again burst into a blinding blood-colored light. It bared its teeth and glared fiercely at the people from the Yu Family and the Lion Mercenary Group.
The atmosphere at the scene became as if solidified, ominously silent, as if foreshadowing a storm was about to ensue.
At the same time, outside the cave, and dozens of miles up in the sky,
a young man in a blue robe, with a handsome face that looked somewhat demonic, was walking in reverse, Floating Step in the air, moving casually under the moonlight over the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, forbidden by all as utterly untouchable, his mouth curved with a trace of a serene smile, at ease.
Logically, if anyone dared to fly over Ten Thousand Demon Mountain like he did, they would have been torn to pieces by the flying demon beasts long ago.
Yet, eerily, not only were there no flying demon beasts attacking him, but all the demon beasts within dozens of miles where he passed were cowering in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, too terrified to move.
"Eh? There's actually an Eternal Tree here, and it's over ten thousand years old. Not bad, this trip has not been in vain."
While moving, the blue-robed young man's expression suddenly sharpened, and his gaze, electric, pierced through dozens of miles of distance, seeing the large mountain where Zhao Letian and the others were located, and the situation inside the cave.
In the next moment, with a single step, the blue-robed young man moved instantly as if teleporting, so fast it was unimaginable. The dozens of miles were crossed in a blink, and he descended above that large mountain.
The young man in the blue robe looked down at the mountain below, smiled mildly, and waved his hand casually. A terrifying force burst forth instantly, as if carrying the might of heaven itself, enveloping the entire mountain below.
In the next instant, Zhao Letian and the others, who were on the edge down in the cave, were horrified to find the entire mountain exploding outward from the center of the cave, just like a watermelon splitting open. The massive peak was leveled in an instant, leaving everyone exposed under the moonlight in the wilds.
Zhao Letian and the others, including the Wind Roar Beast, were all dumbfounded, raising their heads in shock to look at the young man in blue who had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Although the young man in blue released no aura from his body, he made them all dare not harbor even a sliver of resistance.
The blue-robed young man completely ignored Zhao Letian and the others, his eyes only on the Eternal Tree. With a single word, he beckoned lightly and the Eternal Tree immediately emerged from the ground and rose up, swiftly collected into his Storage Ring.
