Chapter 571 - Soul Curse Evil Tree (1/2)

As Zhou Xuanji and the others advanced, the sounds of crying became more and more piercing.

As time went on, it was as if there were countless vengeful spirits sobbing in their ears.

“Be careful, it might be some kind of magic formation; don’t be enchanted by it!” Old Immortal Xiji’s voice sounded from behind, his tone serious.

Zhou Xuanji walked behind Demon God Tianwu, looked around warily.

He could sense an aura quickly passing through the surrounding walls. It was incredibly fast, and he could barely sense it. Old Immortal Xiji and the others could not sense it at all.

That thing definitely had Connecting Heaven Level 10 cultivation.

He suddenly slashed out, and sword qi slashed through the wall, causing the tunnel to tremble.

The three Xiji Immortals trembled in fear and hurriedly looked out, but they did not see any enemies.

They did not dare to ask and nervously looked around.

This kind of unknown existence was the most terrifying kind.

Soon, they walked to the end of the tunnel.

Splash—

The sound of water from a waterfall could be heard; this seemed like a different world.

The sky was very high, and white clouds floated across it. There were countless streams of water flowing down a cliff near the mouth of the tunnel. They looked around and could not tell how wide this waterfall was; it extended as far as they could see.

Below, water vapor filled the air. Ahead was a mountain range that extended endlessly. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, making it seem like an isolated celestial world.

Seeing this kind of scene, the three Xiji Immortals’ expressions became grim.

If this went on, how would they be able to find their companions’ souls?

“The more beautiful, the more dangerous. Perhaps that thing is hidden ahead,” Zhou Xuanji said in a soft voice, causing hope to burn in the three people’s eyes.

Following this, they flew into the air.

After flying past some forests, they came before a massive tree that reached the sky.

It reached the clouds and the tree itself seemed as big as Skyfall. Its branches hung downwards and swayed in the wind.

Zhou Xuanji and the others’ expressions became serious because there were many souls and corpses bound on those branches.

They were incredibly dense, and the souls were simply innumerable.

Many of the souls were about to dissipate.

“Soul Curse Evil Tree! How is this possible? Why would there be a Soul Curse Evil Tree here?” Sovereign Xuan called out, his tone filled with shock.

His words caused Zhou Xuanji to frown, and the others also spoke.

“Hurry up and get away!”

“Even Saint Contenders would die when facing the Soul Curse Evil Tree!”

“The Heavenly Saint definitely knows of its existence. Perhaps he is nurturing it so he can use it against other Heavenly Saints?”

“Is it really that terrifying?”

Soul Curse Evil Tree!

According to the souls, the Soul Curse Evil Tree was the first evil tree when the world was created. It specialized in stealing souls, and it used the souls to become limitlessly stronger.

Long ago, a Soul Curse Evil Tree almost killed a Heavenly Saint. Fortunately, the other Heavenly Saints had acted and gotten rid of it.

They did not expect to see a Soul Curse Evil Tree here.

Zhou Xuanji looked at the Soul Curse Evil Tree closely, thinking to himself.

The three Xiji Immortals found their companions’ souls. However, they did not immediately rush over and instead observed the situation.

This tree was extremely strange and usual, but it was so far away from the hall they were in; it could not possibly have stolen their companions’ souls from so far away. There were most likely other existences as well.

They looked at Zhou Xuanji, their gazes asking him what to do.

Zhou Xuanji said, “You all get back; I’ll give this a try.”

The three Xiji Immortals quickly retreated.

The Ancient God Swords’ souls all became extremely worried and urged him not to do anything reckless.

Zhou Xuanji ignored them and stared at the Soul Curse Evil Tree.

For some reason, when he first saw this tree, he felt an immense desire to obtain it.

He controlled Demon God Tianwu to fly towards it.
