“patriarch, this is? A Heaven Earth Dao Fruit?” Everyone from the Lu family rushed over. They were also shocked when they saw the Heavenly Dao Fruit.

“Yes!” Emperor Tianyun nodded. “Lu Feng, send our location signal to Lu Hongcheng and the others first. After that, lead everyone to prepare the Blood Disc Immortal Vanquishing Array. I’ll probe this ancient tree’s strength first!”

“Understood, Patriarch!” The elder called Lu Feng cupped his hands.

Everyone from the Lu family placed the still recovering Emperor Hengyun to the side and quickly prepared to set up the array formation.

‘As for Emperor Tianyun, he flew towards the towering tree alone.

At the same time, the earth shook. Immediately, dragon-like vines soared into the sky from below and attacked Emperor Tianyun.

Emperor Tianyun’s gaze focused as he thought to himself that the giant tree was indeed formidable.

The incoming vines carried the power of heaven and earth as if they were pulling at the sky as they smashed over.

The terrifying power sent chills down Emperor Tianyun’s spine.

He immediately took out his magic treasure to take on the incoming vines while retreating to the side rapidly.

However, more vines assaulted him at lightning speed. They instantly wove into an inescapable net that attacked Emperor Tianyun from all directions.

Vines wrapped in the power of heaven and earth compressed the space around Emperor Tianyun as it seemed on the brink of collapse.

Emperor Tianyun had a grave expression as he formed hand seals and took out a jade statue that was sitting cross-legged.

The moment the jade statue appeared, it instantly transformed into the divine phantom of a thousand feet enveloping Emperor Tianyun.

Bang bang bang bang bang

Those vines bombarded the god statue madly, and the terrifying power shook the earth, creating circles of ripples.

At this moment, the eyes of the statue suddenly opened. A flame totem surfaced on its glabella, and golden flames instantly ignited around its body.

Then, he formed hand seals with both hands. The golden flames around him instantly turned into fire dragons that roared and rushed out, incinerating every incoming vine.

Still, more vines arrived instantly.

Emperor Tianyun switched his hand seal, and the giant godly statue phantom outside his body stood up with a bang. The ground rumbled.

Golden armor surfaced on his body, and a golden sword condensed in his right hand. He was like a god of war that stood between heaven and earth.

Swoosh!

The longsword slashed horizontally, causing space to tremble. Everywhere the sword light passed, the vines were slashed down.

The longsword slashed horizontally, causing space to tremble. Everywhere the sword light passed, the vines were cut down.

‘As Emperor Tianyun and the giant tree’s vines clashed, Lu Feng and the others had quickly set up the array formation.

The Blood Disc Immortal Vanquishing Array was an ancient grand array formation obtained by Emperor Tianyun in the Lingtian Mystic Realm. It was formed by eighteen supreme-grade immortal artifact-level blood discs.

Its power was enough to trap and kill ordinary immortals.

“Patriarch, the grand array is completed!” Lu Feng sent a voice transmission.

“Good, activate the array formation immediately!” said Emperor Tianyun. He then formed hand seals again and produced 18 runes.

He injected his blood essence into the runes and rapidly shot in all directions that were absorbed into the blood discs.

At the same time, everyone from the Lu family quickly injected their magic powers into the blood disc. Immediately, space shook as beams of light rushed into the sky.

They transformed into eighteen towering pillars that reached into the sky. Countless strange runes flickered on them.

‘The Heaven and Earth powers gathered as golden chains manifested, instantly wrapping around the ancient towering tree.

Boom!

Space trembled as a terrifying power pressed down from the sky, making the giant tree seem to shrink in size.

‘The gravity in the surrounding space seemed to have increased countless times.

The air seemed to freeze as an invisible pressure ruthlessly suppressed the ancient tree’s power, causing the vines to slow down significantly.

Emperor Tianyun controlled that war god phantom to overcome the obstacles and break through the layers of vines to approach that towering tree.

However, right at this moment, the golden leaves on the ancient tree suddenly transformed into giant golden birds that tore through the void and pounced over.

Emperor Tianyun’s expression changed. The aura and pressure emitted by this giant bird formed from golden leaves were several times stronger and faster than the vines.

Once hit, his defense would probably be destroyed directly by these golden leaves.

Therefore, he immediately used the array formation to condense Immortal Vanquishing Blood Discs that attacked the giant golden birds.

Bang bang bang bang.

The Immortal Vanquishing Blood Discs collided madly with the giant golden birds, stirring up the entire sky. Energy ripples spread out in waves, and it was as if the void was about to be torn apart.

“The Patriarch is indeed one of the top ten human experts. He managed to match such a terrifying divine tree!” Lu Feng was in awe.

Such a battle was definitely on the level of a fight between immortals, leaving everyone horrified.

Suddenly, the surrounding trees rose from the ground and transformed into giant tree spirits that attacked Lu Feng and the others.

However, their target was not the Lu family but the array foundation they were guarding, the 18 blood discs.

For a time, loud booms sounded outside the grand array formation.

Those tree spirits were not weak and possessed powerful regeneration abilities. There were many of them, and they advanced in succession, forcing the Lu family to instantly fall into a bitter battle.

Emperor Hengyun, who was still recovering, was also feeling depressed.

It’s my unlucky day. I almost got beaten to death by Li Yu. Now I’m fused into a withered tree, into this miserable, immobile state.

Coupled with the fact that his injuries had not fully recovered, he could not help in the face of the siege of those tree spirits.

Fortunately, those tree spirits seemed to treat him as one of their own.

Since they did not attack him, his family clan would not have to split their attention protecting him.

Inside the array formation, Emperor Tianyun used the power of the array formation to fight the giant tree to a draw.

However, it was not possible to approach the ancient tree and obtain the Heaven Earth Dao Fruit at the moment.

Not only that, but the Heaven Earth Dao Fruit seemed to have absorbed enough power of heaven and earth. Its aura was restrained, and countless vines were woven into a spherical wooden cage, enveloping it layer by layer.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Tianyun’s expression darkened. The difficulty of obtaining the Heaven Earth Dao Fruit increased this time.

At the moment, the Lu family clan outside the array was engaged in an arduous battle. Almost half of the Lu family had been teleported elsewhere, and with the loss of Emperor Hengyun’s combat prowess, their overall combat strength was greatly reduced.

“Everyone, hold on. Our men should be arriving soon!” Lu Feng yelled.

Meanwhile, in the Clear Void Holy Land, wave after wave of cultivators entered the teleportation array one after another. The northern region countries were the last in the queue.

Hence, when it was almost their turn, an hour had passed since the teleportation array was first activated.

Those from the Great Xia Dynasty would be teleporting with Li Yu’s sect.

The person leading this batch was Perfected Yu Hua. He was still reminding his disciples to be careful after entering the Lingtian Mystic Realm.

Although the Lingtian Mystic Realm was filled with countless opportunities, there was danger everywhere too. One could lose their life if they were not careful.

“Once we enter the teleportation array, we will all hold hands and form a circle. Our master mentioned that a spatial storm would appear in the spatial passageway and blow us apart. So no matter what, don’t let go. We must make sure that we can appear in the same place!” Li Yu instructed in a low voice.

After all, apart from him, Gu Yugi, and Ji Wanjie, the cultivation levels of the rest of his genius disciples were not relatively strong.

It was especially true for those new disciples. They would likely not survive in the Lingtian Mystic Realm without his protection.

Just as everyone from the Great Xia Dynasty was queuing up to enter the Teleportation Array, the heavens and earth shook.

‘The power of heaven and earth fluctuated violently, and holy voices sounded through the void.

The Heavenly Dao Rankings in the sky flourished with golden light again.
