The Tier-One Shenxiao Decree couldn’t cause significant damage to Foundation Establishment Creatures, with limited power, it’s driven by Qi Cultivation. But now, the Shenxiao Decree that Yuan Lang triggered is no longer at Tier One. The power of this Shenxiao Decree has reached Tier Two Level! With the massive activation of Foundation Establishment Magical Power, it’s enough to obliterate a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It was also this activation of the Shenxiao Decree that immediately drained thirty percent of Yuan Lang’s magical power, making him significantly weakened. Yet, despite this, having expended considerable magical power, Yuan Lang was very much looking forward to the result the Shenxiao Decree would bring. This was also his first use of a Tier-Two Shenxiao Decree since reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage. The Tier-Two Shenxiao Decree, of which he only possessed one, served as his trump card. Yuan Lang held his breath, watching the Tree Demon’s movements. First, came the thunderous roar in his ears. The Tree Demon’s loud roar also seemed chaotic amidst the thunder, making it hard for the heart to remain calm. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck the Tree Demon squarely, causing it to shake violently and howl in pain, becoming very agitated. Lu Zhiwei also kept her eyes closely watching the Tree Demon’s every move. Under such a powerful divine thunder strike, the Tree Demon might have lost half its life. In the gaze of both Lu Zhiwei and even Lu Ping, as the thunder light dissipated. When the three looked again, they saw the Tree Demon’s body trembling constantly, with many charred marks visible on its body. A large amount of bark was torn open on the trunk, fragmented and charred black. A mass of leaves also fell in abundance, ignited by the thunder’s flame points, like a large spread of sparks. The Tree Demon still stood firm, still able to move, run, and jump. The result was obvious. This Tier-Two Shenxiao Decree’s strike was still unable to kill the Tree Demon in one blow. It only caused it some injuries, leaving its hide and flesh torn. Such external injuries, given its massive body, were far from fatal, only causing it great pain. Google seaʀᴄh Nov3lFɪre.ɴet Seeing his Shenxiao Decree strike, consuming thirty percent of his magical power, yet not heavily injuring the Tree Demon, Yuan Lang was left gaping, finding it unbelievable. Even Lu Zhiwei, standing beside, was momentarily stunned. Logically, a Tier-Two Shenxiao Decree strike should obliterate its target cleanly unless the opponent had extremely formidable defensive means. Yet, under such a powerful divine thunder attack, the Tree Demon only suffered some superficial damage. It was expected for the Tree Demon to have strong defense, but not this strong! In Yuan Lang’s heart, there was a sense of helplessness. His abilities seemed truly limited. And looking towards the Tree Demon’s condensed pupils, approximately the size of fists. At this time, its pupils were staring furiously, with a blood-red hue in its emerald-green eyes. It seemed that it was enraged. This time, it appeared even more challenging to handle. Yuan Lang couldn’t help but edge closer to where Lu Zhiwei stood, fully aware that from now on, he had to join forces with Lu Zhiwei, or they might both be in trouble here. "Don’t lose hope, if one strike can’t kill it, just increase the firepower," Seeing the state of the Tree Demon, Lu Ping also noticed the formidable defense of the Tree Demon, realizing that Yuan Lang alone might not secure victory, he sent a message to Lu Zhiwei. "Once the Tree Demon is enraged, it will become riddled with flaws, and that’s the time you should seize the opportunity to strike, killing it shouldn’t be difficult." "With the presence of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword, there’s no need to worry about its strong defense." "The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword might easily break through its defenses." The scene was reminiscent of the battle against the Black Water Profound Snake before, requiring angering the opponent to make it manageable. The calmer the Tree Demon, the tougher to deal with, making it hard to precisely strike its weaknesses. But once it loses reason and enters a frenzy, its weaknesses become obviously exposed. The opportunity soon arose. The Tree Demon hadn’t felt such pain in many years, struck so fiercely by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. It couldn’t help but shiver, waving its thick branches like a maddened octopus. Its eyes bloodshot, a branch extended, straightening with a whistling wind, fiercely thrusting at Yuan Lang. The Tree Demon’s methods of attack were very straightforward. Their bodies and branches were their best weapons. This branch thrust could pierce right through Yuan Lang. Seeing the danger, Yuan Lang immediately dodged, narrowly avoiding the strike. The Tree Demon’s missed strike did not mean it would back off. It launched another attack. The ground beneath Yuan Lang suddenly trembled, with numerous roots bursting from the earth, sweeping towards him like venomous snakes. These branches, infused with Foundation Establishment Demon Power, were sharp like blades, forming countless barbs. Yuan Lang was startled and quickly utilized the Light Body Technique to leap into the air. At the same time, the Fire Cloud Sword swiftly flew beneath his feet, rapidly carrying Yuan Lang upward. This was as Yuan Lang took flight, his original position on the ground was immediately ravaged by numerous roots, producing crackling noises in the air. With the Tree Demon’s attack target as Yuan Lang, ignoring her presence, a hint of coldness appeared on Lu Zhiwei’s cool face. She decisively made her move, with no intention of holding back, preparing her Lifebound Flying Sword, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword! With Lu Zhiwei’s command, she activated the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique from within. The robust Foundation Establishment Magical Power was rapidly infused into this Lifebound Flying Sword. The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword fired almost instantaneously, striking with such speed that the naked eye struggled to follow, straight at the Tree Demon! This strike was the signature move "Chasing Wind and Moon" from the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, characterized by ultimate speed. With Foundation Establishment magical power driving the sword technique, it was not to be underestimated. With the sword, a shattering sound ripped through the air. A streak of azure light swiftly passed. Slicing towards the upper body of the Tree Demon. With such extreme speed, even if the Tree Demon sensed danger, it couldn’t evade in time. The next second, it was hit squarely by an icy flying sword. A massive explosion of bark occurred. Lu Zhiwei’s strike had directly penetrated the Tree Demon’s body, forcibly breaking through its defense, severing most of its main branch. The Tree Demon, in pain, its eyes filled with crimson, let out a violent howl. Its massive body trembled and twisted wildly, while the severed branch, about two zhang in size, fell to the ground with a loud crash, raising clouds of dust. "Third-Layer Foundation Establishment strength?" Witnessing Lu Zhiwei severely injure the Tree Demon with a single strike, the spiritual power fluctuations she exhibited were so formidable that Yuan Lang’s face displayed a look of surprise.
