Chapter 1391: The Core of the Strange Tree, The Pseudo-Earth Immortal Puppets (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations

Gradually, Jiang Chengxuan and his companions lost track of how far they had traveled and how long it had been.

Along the way, they cut down everything in their path, their hearts growing colder with each strike, filled with icy resolve.

Finally, at a certain point, the suffocating darkness that surrounded them began to change.

It was as though they had pierced through a black curtain, and everything before them underwent a sudden and dramatic shift.

In the void, the endless branches of the strange tree still stood, deeply rooted in the space around them.

Yet these branches, instead of appearing dark and eerie, now radiated an inexplicable sense of holiness.

They resembled celestial cords, connecting heaven and earth, creating a grand and magnificent spectacle.

The darkness was slowly giving way as light returned to the sky, no longer swallowed by the black fog.

Through the cracks in the shattered void, countless rays of divine light shone down—thousands, tens of thousands—illuminating the world, making it appear dreamlike and surreal.

The entire space was filled with a power unlike any ordinary spiritual energy, and this power deeply shocked Jiang Chengxuan and his companions.

“This! This is all origin energy?!”

Immediately, Qingyun Sovereign’s voice rang out, astonished.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He could sense that the indistinct energy permeating this void was pure origin energy—one of the most fundamental forces in the universe.

Origin energy typically only appeared in small quantities within certain paradise-like places or rare treasures that had taken millions of years to form.

Earth Immortals required origin energy for cultivation, but it was so rare that even they struggled to obtain it.

To cultivate with origin energy usually took eons of searching for the right opportunity.

And yet, here it was—an entire realm filled with it, something that stunned everyone present.

“If we could cultivate here, even Earth Immortals could advance further!” Qingyun Sovereign marveled, greed and ambition stirring within him.

“Wait! this isn’t pure origin energy.

It’s contaminated by something,” Jiang Chengxuan interrupted, extending his hand into the void and gripping the energy.

He frowned as he studied it.

The others, snapping out of their initial awe, immediately used their Earth Immortal domains to sense the energy more carefully.

What they discovered left them equally unsettled.

Indeed, just as Jiang Chengxuan had said, the origin energy here was vast, but it was not pure.

Mixed within it was something dark and sinister—some corrupting force.

“This must be the energy the strange tree has siphoned from Qingyun Prefecture,” Fuguang Immortal solemnly concluded, echoing what was already in everyone’s minds.

It was clear that they had reached the core of the strange tree’s domain.

This corrupted origin energy could only have been drawn from Qingyun Prefecture, ravaged by the tree.

“Damn this calamity!”

Qingyun Sovereign growled through gritted teeth, his face burning with anger.

Even though he had known the fate of Qingyun Prefecture the moment he evacuated his sect, seeing it firsthand filled him with sorrow and rage.

The Qingyun Sect had ruled over Qingyun Prefecture for countless generations, spanning tens of thousands of years.

And now, under his leadership, it had all been destroyed.

“Rumble!”

Before anyone could continue, the strange atmosphere of the space began to change, pulling everyone’s attention.

The void trembled, and the branches of the strange tree, which resembled heavenly cords, started to writhe violently.

They uprooted themselves from the space around them and swung wildly like countless eerie hands, disturbing the fabric of the universe itself.

As the branches writhed, the lights illuminating the space flickered unpredictably, casting an eerie glow that filled the sky with blinding bursts of light and shadow.

The energy in the air surged like an overwhelming tidal wave, shaking the world to its core.

For a moment, everyone felt as though they were deep beneath an ocean, the weight of the heavens pressing down upon them.

The violent eruption of origin energy carried unimaginable destructive power.

Even Jiang Chengxuan and his Earth Immortal companions, sensing the danger, stood their ground.

Their eyes grew serious as they summoned their powers, aligning their Earth Immortal domains into a unified defense.

Four towering pillars of origin energy formed around them, stabilizing their immediate surroundings.

Despite their strength, this space—filled with raw, chaotic energy—posed a serious threat even to Earth Immortals.

“Boom!

Boom!

Boom!”

In the blink of an eye, waves of origin energy clashed violently in the void.

The ensuing shockwaves were deafening, sending ripples across the heavens, scattering beams of light in every direction.

This one wave of energy was far more terrifying than anything they had faced so far.

“Buzz! buzz!”

But the strange tree had only just begun its true assault.

From above, the branches of the tree tore at the heavens, pulling the fabric of the void apart, revealing gaping cracks in reality itself.

As Jiang Chengxuan and his companions looked on in alarm, radiant light poured through these cracks.

Following the light came numerous figures, quickly filling the sky, clinging to the branches of the strange tree.

A dreadful aura of destruction emanated from these figures, and the ambient origin energy seemed to heed their call, surging toward them, flooding into their bodies.

“What!?”

All eyes turned to these figures as they emerged from the void, horror dawning on the faces of Jiang Chengxuan and his companions.

“These are! puppets!”

Yuanhan Immortal cried out, recognizing the truth.

These figures were not spirits but puppets—immortal cultivators who had been slain by the calamity and turned into puppets by the strange tree.

Each of these puppets emanated the aura of a True Immortal, their numbers vast, filling the sky like a murder of crows perched upon the branches of the strange tree.

Even worse, as these puppets absorbed more of the origin energy, their power visibly increased, growing stronger by the second.

In a matter of moments, they had reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm, with some surpassing it to attain a pseudo-Earth Immortal level of strength.

Seeing this, a chill ran down everyone’s spine.

None could guess how many of these pseudo-Earth Immortal puppets might still be created from the vast ocean of origin energy around them.

“Strike now!

Don’t hold back—stop these puppets before they fully awaken!” Jiang Chengxuan ordered sharply, immediately making his decision.

Without hesitation, he summoned his Earth Immortal domain, transforming it into a vast ray of celestial light as he launched himself toward the puppets, aiming to destroy them before they could grow stronger.

Yuanhan Immortal and the others quickly followed suit, unleashing their Earth Immortal powers and charging through the chaotic energy toward the puppets.

But this was the heart of the strange tree’s domain, and the tree’s will controlled everything here.

The moment Jiang Chengxuan moved, the strange tree responded.

The newly formed pseudo-Earth Immortal puppets roared to life, and the branches of the strange tree surged alongside them, descending like a vast wave to meet the assault head-on.

“Boom!”

Instantly, a colossal battle erupted.

Ten pseudo-Earth Immortal puppets and the branches of the strange tree, infused with origin energy, clashed with the four Earth Immortals.

Jiang Chengxuan and his allies held nothing back, unleashing their ultimate powers.

The Primal Fire and Water Sword, the Northern Pole Divine Light, the Myriad Celestial Clouds, and the Endless Blessed Light exploded forth, tearing through the void.

The powers collided violently with the strange tree’s forces, shattering the heavens and creating an apocalyptic storm that consumed everything.

Even as the chaotic energy raged on, the puppets continued to absorb the origin energy, becoming even stronger.
