novelThe Transformation Tree and the Transformation Fruits
| ← Ch.0371 | Ch.0373 → |
The two Divine Treasure Realm beings were capable of quickly breaking the sound barrier whenever they took flight.
Despite that, they were unable to even shrug of that huge hand conjured from Lu Xuan's qi. They were both yanked back right away before being thrown onto the ground.
Despite having formidable demonic bodies, they were severely injured from the impact.
That middle-aged struggled to get up. His angry eyes were glaring at Lu Xuan as he shouted, "Lu Xuan, what the hell are you trying to do? We were just about to leave the place. What more do you want from us?"
Lu Xuan laughed out loud and answered, "Do you seriously think you could just call it a day by leaving? It must be your the first time the two of you are doing this, right? If you two were fighting against someone that wasn't me, would you just let your opponent leave? Did any of you use your brains for even a little bit before you decided to say something so na?ve?"
Both of them were immediately rendered silent right away after hearing his words. If they were the ones who would gain the upper hand, there was no doubt that Lu Xuan would be the one lying on the ground at the moment. In that case, there was no way they would even let Lu Xuan live, let alone allow him to escape.
"Then what do you want?" That middle-aged man continued glaring at Lu Xuan."Don't think for a second that your immense power makes you invincible. If you aren't going to just let us leave, you'll sure as hell regret it once the great ancestor gets here."
"What? That old dragon? Can that thing even come out?" Lu Xuan chuckled coldly and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, that thing is now locked up in some cage and is unable to get out. Am I right about that? Otherwise, you people wouldn't need to do its dirty work."
That fat woman gasped in fright, "How did you know that?"
However, she quickly realized that she had just blurted out crucial information.
Their great ancestor's imprisonment in the Myriad Demon Valley was why the forces of the Myriad Demon Valley laid low for so long, in the first place; there was no way to leave.
Lu Xuan casually explained further, "There's nothing about you people from the Myriad Demon Valley that I don't already know. Well, I guess I don't know what that old dragon is thinking as we speak. Regardless, I dare say that the decision to let you people out of the valley at such a time would be one of the biggest regrets of its life."
The middle-aged man and the fat woman looked at each other. The shock that they both felt deep down was written in their eyes. None of them expected Lu Xuan to know so much about what was happening in the Myriad Demon Valley.
Conventional logic said that even human sects and clans back from so long would not know about what was happening with the Myriad Demon Valley because that they had been laying so low. Common people were hardly aware of their existence at all.
When those three went out to wreak havoc across all of Huaxia, the only conclusions that the humans were able to come to was that they were merely demons.
Nothing regarding their origins and the forces behind them were known to the humans at all.
The two had never even seen any human who knew as well as about the valley as Lu Xuan did.
Lu Xuan touched his chin for a bit and elaborated even further, "Based on what I know, your current training wouldn't have allowed you guys to completely take on human forms without even a single demonic trait left at all. That is, unless, that Transformation Tree in the Myriad Demon Valley has ripened."
The two demons looked somewhat exasperated at how bluntly Lu Xuan was putting it as if he was looking at the tree with his very own eyes.
Even back in the Myriad Demon Valley, the Transformation Tree was considered the most precious treasure among all treasures. Thus, it was very heavily guarded.
Despite being monster kings that rule over their own regions, it was still completely impossible for them to get near that tree at all.
According to what their great ancestor said, that Transformation Tree served as the key to demons' hundred year-plan.
Only with an endless supply of Transformation Fruits from the tree was secured could the demons possibly gain intellect that rival that of the humans.
That was because humans were born with intellectual capacities which were hardly different from that of adults even during their adolescence.
One was left to wonder what the demons could do with just a little more than a dozen years.
One could even say that the demons were unable to do anything in such a short time.
The rate of growth of the demons alone was utterly incomparable to that of the humans, to begin with. The only way to bypass such a shortcoming was through the use of Transformation Fruits.
That was because the Transformation Fruits were so potent that they could allow demons to take human forms, which would then allow them to gain intellectual capacities rivaling that of the humans.
At present, the amount of fruit that the Transformation Tree could bear remained dismal. Only monster kings like them were able to get their hands on the fruits.
However, none of that prevented Lu Xuan from knowing just how impossibly precious those fruits were.
The existence of the Transformation Tree was even more so, considering it was the collective secret of the demons.
The one thing they were so astonished about was how Lu Xuan managed to find out about the Transformation Tree and look as if he knew everything about it. They wondered just where did he read up about the details of that tree.
The fact that Lu Xuan knew the secret meant that the human governments would probably know about it as well.
If the human governments were to know about their secret, they would probably even go all out to take down that Transformation Tree, regardless of the cost incurred.
Of course, they could escape the valley even if it meant being bombed by nuclear weapons. They could survive so long as it was not a direct hit, as shockwaves alone would not be able to outright kill them.
While the demons could no doubt run, however, the same could not be said for the Transformation Tree.
That thought brought about a tinge of fright in the eyes of those two.
None of them said anything, but Lu Xuan nonetheless came to some sort of conclusion at that point. He went on to say, "Your expression alone is enough for me to see that I'm most probably right. No wonder that old dragon is so confident. Otherwise, it wouldn't dare to emerge sooner than planned."
Lu Xuan knew that Transformation Tree very well, as it could be said to be the most precious of all treasures that could be found in the Myriad Demon Valley. That did not mean the demons would fall into decline right after losing the Transformation Tree and the fruits it bore. However, they would definitely lose their key to being as headstrong as they were back in Lu Xuan's past life, back when they were taking over a continent and standing against human society.
Ambitions like that would have been reduced to mere pipe dreams. Compared to the thousands of years of civilization humans built on the planet, demons, who had only emerged after restoration of spirit qi began, were lacking in more ways than one after all.
They would only gain enough strength to rival that of the humans by resorting to shortcuts like the Transformation Tree and the Transformation Fruits.
Lu Xuan casually said, "Well, if that old dragon is so confident about things, I guess I'll see what it's made of myself."
Just then the fat woman roared, "The great ancestor will kill you! You will be ripped to shreds!" Her voice sounded shrill, which resembled the terrifying sound attacks of witches and banshees.
"Okay, but I can tear you two to pieces before that thing can do the same to me."
Right as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan swung his arm. Two blasts of sword aura burst, heading for the two of them right away.
They were both watching Lu Xuan the whole time without letting their guard down for even a single moment. They quickly put up their arms to resist the attacks.
However, their defenses were utterly incapable of resisting Lu Xuan's ferocious sword attacks.
The two were heard whimpering before their heads were instantly severed by those blasts of sword aura, killing them on the spot.
Two Divine Treasure Realm beings were killed as if it was nothing.
