Vol 35 Chapter 12 (2/2)
“Clan leaders,” Ninedust sent anxiously, “You said that any cultivators who come here must pass your trials The three Emperors of the Aeonian race should also have to pass the trials, right?”
“Of course” The sea dragon leader nodded
“Agreed” The fla equine leader nodded its massive head as well
The sea dragon leader flew into the skies, coiling around itself inbellow: “Halt, Emperors”
“If you do not halt, you shall be attacked by both of our races at the saround, its entire body blazing with flames as it let out a furious, awesome roar
“HALT!” There were nearly two hundred beasts in this area, and they roared out this word in unison with unstoppable majesty
Swish!+ Swish!+ Swish!+ The three Eh the skies caly looks on their faces
“He’s uprooted our oeddon bloodfruit tree, and noants to take away the Autarch’s blood!” Erily at the distant sea dragon leader as he bellowed, “We Aeonians are definitely going to kill these two thieves! Daolord Darknorth, Ninedust Sectlord… the two of you really are quite bold! How DARE you steal treasures frorounds of the Aeonian race?!”
“Ancestral grounds?” Ning flew over to Ninedust, and the two stared back at the three Euard over them, they didn’t panic
“Our two clans are here on the Autarch’s orders to protect this place Anyone ishes to benefit fro friend Darknorth has done so, which means that we are in compliance with the Autarch’s orders Even if he wishes to take the blood away, there’s nothing wrong with that,” the sea dragon leader said “But you three? If you also pass the trials, on’t interfere if you want to kill these two… but if you cannot, we have no choice but to protect our young friends”
“B-but…” Emperor Islehide spluttered furiously
“Just pass the trials Easy, right? Come one at a time and defeat both of our races, that’s all you have to do,” the sea dragon leader said
Ely looks on their faces Defeat the two races in succession? Every single one of the flaons had reached the Archon level, with the clan leaders being even stronger Only a true Hege an assault froiven it a try long ago, but he wasn’t even close to being able to succeed
“But we are the Aeonians This is our territory!” Emperor Anchen said furiously
“No, this is the AUTARCH’S territory The only thing we know and care about is the Autarch’s coon leader said
“B-b-but… but that os to our Aeonian race!” Emperor Anchen said
“Hahaha! You were all too weak and unable to make much use of the Autarch’s blood, which hy you planted that oo Over the course of countless aeons, you have harvested countless fruits from this tree… and the value of those fruits vastly exceeded the value of the original tree itself” The sea dragon leader continued, “You’ve earned enough Since our young friend Darknorth has passed our trials, he gets to decide what to do with the oeddon bloodfruit tree, not you”
“But its ours! It belongs to the Aeonians!” Eeddon bloodfruit tree had undergone a thorough transformation Even if it lost access to the Autarch’s blood, it was still comparable in value to twelve ordinary trees It truly was a marvelous treasure
Most importantly of all… when it was able to absorb essence froave birth to werethe tree close in value to Crimsonwave Temple! The Aeonians absolutely viewed it as important as life itself Once they lost this tree, they’d have to wait millions of chaos cycles before any new tree they planted over the blood would have absorbed enough essence to transform
But… in roughly aSamsara Wheels would destroy the Endless Territories! There was no way they could rear a second tree This marvelous tree was literally one of a kind They had already started to accu Sa this entire world would probably be devoured and destroyed as well They would no longer have access to any more fruits! In the finalto absorb as much of the essence from the Autarch’s blood as they could… and they were even planning to shatter the tree apart and drain the essence the tree had taken in from the Atuarch’s blood
