947. Top-tier opportunity
The person teleported by Xiao Yan using a spatial jade slip was none other than Yan Jin, the patriarch of the Yan Clan, who had just bid him farewell not long ago. Behind him, Huo Zhi also appeared with a somewhat worried expression. Yan Jin was clearly also somewhat surprised, not expecting Xiao Yan to summon him so quickly.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Yan Jin, but there's been a problem here that I have no choice but to ask for your help."
Before Xiao Yan could explain much, Yan Jin already roughly understood what had happened, after all, the boiling state of the beast sea was right in front of him.
Even now, the Bodhi Tree still exudes powerful wood-attribute energy and attraction, which is an opportunity that magical beasts would abandon everything to pursue, so magical beasts from afar keep rushing over.
Yan Jin's soul power far surpassed Xiao Yan's, and he led Xiao Yan and the other three directly to the core area radiating Dou Qi energy. The moment Yan Jin appeared, a swarm of demonic beasts, as if receiving a signal, charged directly at Xiao Yan and his group.
This is their sacred object; how could they allow humans to touch it?
The monsters in the core area of this sea of monsters have almost all reached the Dou Zun level, which is extremely terrifying.
Yan Jin didn't even bother to look at them. He made no move, but flames surged out from his body without mercy. Amidst the deafening roars of the magical beasts, the sea of fire instantly vaporized them into blood.
In the blink of an eye, not a single monster in the core circle was spared; they were completely evaporated by the heat wave, leaving no trace behind.
As soon as Yan Jin made his move, he cleared a vast space for them, and the remaining magical beasts were also shocked by this scene. Some magical beasts, unable to control their strength, still rushed into this area, but the raging flames, representing death, showed no mercy to them, and still swiftly turned them into blood and vapor, completely evaporating them.
After this cycle repeated several times, the magical beasts, initially driven mad by the scent of vegetation, finally calmed down in the face of the powerful horde of beasts falling like wheat being harvested. Their cherishing of life ultimately overwhelmed their desires, though they still coveted the core area, refusing to leave. Of course, no magical beast dared to continue attacking the area around Xiao Yan and his companions, unwilling to die needlessly under the deadly flames.
Yan Jin's commotion attracted the attention of the powerful figures who were watching from the surrounding area. They had been trapped by the sea of beasts and unable to move forward, but they never expected that he would be dealt with so easily by the person in front of them.
Of course, the commotion they just witnessed intimidated them, preventing them from advancing. After all, no one is a fool; it was obvious that the other party had come for the aura. If they were willing to deal with the magical beasts, who knew if they would show mercy to humans?
"It happened in the blink of an eye; it was terrifying at the time."
"A demigod-level expert, terrifying indeed!"
"Idiot! I've seen half-saints before, but none of them possess such power that makes the world lose its color with a single move. He's clearly a Dou Sheng!"
"What terrifying flames!"
"It should be a strange fire. I wonder which important figure it belongs to. I heard that Xiao Yan, the champion of the Pill Gathering, is skilled in using strange fire. I wonder if he has arrived."
Yan Jin ignored their petty schemes, focusing instead on finding the source of the life force of the plants, where there were also unstable spatial fluctuations.
"An ancient Bodhi tree? That's strange..." Yan Jin sensed the aura before him, just as puzzled as Xiao Yan: "Usually, this ancient Bodhi tree appears directly from the void and then grows rapidly in one place. How come this time, it seems to be in a small space..."
After all, they are a family descended from the Dou Di, and they have studied even the Bodhi Ancient Tree, a treasure of heaven and earth. Of course, given this sudden change, not only Xiao Yan, a member of the younger generation, but even Yan Jin, cannot make a judgment.
"Clan leader, this life force is so astonishing, it must be the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself."
Yan Jin reached out and grasped some life force, controlling it with his Dou Sheng-level strength to prevent it from dissipating. The Yan Clan had also obtained Bodhi seeds from the Bodhi Ancient Tree before, so after Yan Jin carefully examined them, he gave an affirmative answer.
"It is indeed the aura of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. This thing is too precious to be counterfeited even by a Nine-Star Dou Sheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jin frowned, as if he had discovered something. Xiao Yan's soul perception also yielded something; that dark aura, though only a remnant, still caught the attention of both of them.
"This is the aura of the Soul Clan. It seems someone from the Soul Clan has already entered before us!"
Yan Jin nodded in agreement upon hearing Xiao Yan's assessment: "It's those persistent bastards again. The situation is getting a bit complicated now."
"I cannot confirm for the time being whether this was done by the Soul Clan. This time, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is probably not ordinary."
Because of the war that wiped out their race, Yan Jin always harbored the worst thoughts about the Soul Clan.
"What does Senior Yan Jin mean?"
"Because of the characteristics of the Bodhi Tree, it is not easy for me to enter. Now, if you two are not afraid, you can try to go in and try. Of course, you must be careful!" Yan Jin said to Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi.
As Xiao Yan observed the spatial fluctuations before him, he pondered in his heart that there was definitely no problem with his ancestor's instructions. Even if the Soul Clan had tampered with the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the strength of the person who made the move would definitely not be too great.
He was confident that he could escape unscathed even if he faced a two-star Dou Sheng. With the Dou Sheng-level battle puppet he had just crafted, and the help of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and the peak half-saint Huo Zhi, he would be fine unless the opponent was one of the best three-star Dou Shengs.
"The opportunity is right in front of us, why let it slip away?" Xiao Yan asked the beautiful figure beside him, "Huo Zhi, would you be willing to come with me on this journey?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Seeing this, Yan Jin added, "I will wait for you nearby. Don't worry about the retreat. If you encounter an ambush by the Soul Clan, just find a way to escape."
With his current strength as a nine-star Dou Sheng and the fact that he has completely broken ties with the Soul Clan, Yan Jin is unusually uninhibited and carefree in this matter.
Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, and together with Huo Zhi, they entered the spatial vortex, their figures quickly disappearing from sight.
Yan Jin felt much relieved watching Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi enter together. He hadn't expected that the matter he had been longing for would take such a turn for the better so quickly due to the changing circumstances. Not only was the Bodhi Tree a great opportunity, but Xiao Yan had also taken the initiative to call them here, making it completely effortless.
"It seems that my Yan clan should also have a bit of a change in fortune."
