Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 167

Isuria’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

But before he could make a move, another figure descended—a crow, but this one had three legs.

The members of the Arcane Order were unfamiliar with the legends of the Three-Legged Crow, so they didn’t react much. However, those from the Great Xia Empire and the Ancient Tomb Empire all had their pupils contract in shock.

“Huh?”

Isuria’s expression instantly turned severe.

From this Three-Legged Crow, he sensed a genuine threat. As the Holy Son of the Arcane Order, he was a Divine Transformation cultivator.

He began to realize something and fixed his gaze on the Three-Legged Crow. “Are you from the Misty Forbidden Zone?”

If this Three-Legged Crow truly hailed from the Misty Forbidden Zone, he would need to reassess its strength.

Though the Three-Legged Crow was not a fifth tier being, it was still at the peak of the fourth tier. Anywhere else, it would be considered a formidable demon.

“Holy Son, this is one of the divine crows of the Misty Forbidden Zone,” the Grand Elder of the Ancient Tomb Empire added.

He knew more about the Misty Forbidden Zone than those from more distant countries, though not as much as the people of the Great Xia Empire.

The Three-Legged Crow ignored everyone else.

“Senior Sister, how should we deal with these people?” it asked, looking at Su Yao.

Upon hearing the Three-Legged Crow’s words, the surrounding people, regardless of their country of origin, all turned pale.

Senior Sister?

The Three-Legged Crow was clearly a creature from the Misty Forbidden Zone. But to call Su Yao “Senior Sister”? Even the slowest person could sense something was wrong at this point.

“Su Yao, you…” Minister Liang looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

Su Yao sighed softly, choosing not to explain anything. The answer was already evident.

“I don’t care if you are from the Misty Forbidden Zone; today, you will all die,” Isuria quickly regained his composure, his face as cold as ice.

He was fully confident in his own strength.

“Knight’s Spear.”

A silver spear appeared in Isuria’s hand, radiating a terrifying aura of flame.

With a thrust, it was as if a dragon made of fire lunged forward.

Jin Da flapped his wings, releasing rolling waves of golden flames.

The flames of the Golden Crow!

These flames were incredibly fierce and collided violently with Isuria’s spear.

As a Three-Legged Crow, Jin Da’s combat prowess was indisputable. Although he was only at the peak of the fourth tier, his combat ability was comparable to that of an average fifth tier being.

However, Isuria was no ordinary fifth tier cultivator. In this world, anyone who reached the fifth tier at this time was extraordinary. Isuria possessed the bloodline of the Flame Lion, giving him an unusual level of combat power.

For a moment, Jin Da’s flames were overwhelmed by Isuria’s attack.

Isuria retreated three steps, while Jin Da was pushed back several dozen meters.

“Diel!” Isuria roared with unstoppable momentum.

He rode atop a lion made of flames, charging like an ancient lion knight.

Jin Da was also enraged.

He transformed into a blazing sun!

In an instant, even more terrifying flames erupted from his body, turning him into a scorching sun that crashed toward Isuria.

The temperature within a thousand-foot radius soared, igniting the surrounding trees.

This time…

Boom!

Isuria was smashed into the ground, creating a massive pit a hundred feet deep.

“Holy Son!”

The members of the Arcane Order were all stunned.

In their eyes, the Holy Son was always invincible, crushing everything in his path. Yet today, he was being suppressed by a mere crow.

“Ah!”

An enraged roar echoed from the deep pit.

A golden blaze suddenly burst out from the pit.

Isuria was shrouded in flames, resembling a Flame Lion hundreds of feet long. He charged at the “blazing sun” above him.

Boom!

The blazing sun was knocked to the ground, reducing the nearby trees to ashes.

The sun disappeared, and Jin Da’s body reappeared, now covered in blood.

He had been wounded by Isuria.

Isuria’s aura was fierce and imposing. “A filthy creature dares challenge the Holy Son?” he sneered.

As he prepared to strike again…

Buzz!

A piercing sound of air friction rang out.

A golden streak shot through the air at terrifying speed.

Then, a spear, carrying a devastating force, hurtled toward Isuria.

Isuria hurriedly spat fire to block the attack.

But in an instant, his flames were dispersed.

The spear landed squarely on the flaming lion Isuria had transformed into.

The “Flame Lion” was slammed to the ground.

A Golden-Furred Monkey appeared in the sky.

It was not very tall, standing only six feet, holding a spear seven feet long. But its presence overshadowed all the beings present, like an unparalleled demon king.

“You lowly creature dare to make noise here?” the Golden-Furred Monkey sneered, pointing its spear at Isuria.

“Fourth Junior Brother!”

Seeing the Golden-Furred Monkey, Su Yao and Jin Da were reassured.

Even though Rahu ranked fourth among them, they knew very well that he was the strongest of them all.

“Damn you, you wretched monkey!” Isuria was furious and terrified.

His response was met with the spear of the Golden-Furred Monkey.

Clang, clang, clang…

Isuria and the Golden-Furred Monkey clashed and collided fiercely.

Yet, despite his earlier overwhelming strength against Jin Da, Isuria found himself completely outmatched by the Golden-Furred Monkey.

Boom!

After dozens of exchanges, the Golden-Furred Monkey struck again with its spear, sending Isuria plummeting into a pit two hundred feet deep.

The Flame Lion surrounding Isuria finally could not withstand the impact and collapsed.

“Pfft.”

Isuria reappeared, coughing up blood, his face pale as paper.

“With this level of skill, you dare come to the Misty Forbidden Zone acting like a big shot?” the Golden-Furred Monkey mocked mercilessly.

Boom!

At that moment, a thunderous sound like nine heavens cracking came from a distance.

The people of the Great Xia Empire seemed to realize something and quickly looked toward the source of the sound.

“Pavilion Master Zhu!”

The eyes of many Great Xia cultivators turned red with emotion.

At the site of the explosion, a pillar of destructive light shot into the sky.

The spiritual energy waves emanating from that pillar were all too familiar to them.

It was Zhu Huang’s spiritual energy.

Clearly, Zhu Huang had fallen!

In the explosion’s aftermath, some figures were either blasted away or obliterated.

None of the cultivators from various countries had anticipated that Zhu Huang would resort to such a drastic measure.

A fifth tier Divine Transformation cultivator choosing to self-destruct?

Not only were ordinary cultivators affected, but even a few other Divine Transformation cultivators present were injured.

Great Xia Imperial Capital

Within the palace.

A figure of commanding presence was meditating.

The moment Zhu Huang self-destructed, this figure suddenly rose.

The commotion inside caught the attention of a eunuch outside, “Your Majesty?”

“It’s nothing,” replied the figure calmly.

It was the Xia Emperor.

He stepped outside, opened the door, and said, “Prepare the carriage to the Quiet Garden.”

Within the palace, there was a special area known as the “Quiet Garden.”

This was where the eunuchs resided.

Inside the Quiet Garden, in a humble room, an elderly eunuch was sitting cross-legged.

“Pfft.”

The moment Zhu Huang self-destructed, this elderly eunuch spat blood.

Moments later, sensing the Xia Emperor approaching, he showed no surprise.

“The Emperor has arrived,” the figure said, somewhat weakly.

“Grand Preceptor,” the Xia Emperor greeted respectfully.

“The Emperor knows everything about the palace, it seems. I couldn’t hide it from you after all,” the figure replied.

As he spoke, he lifted his head, revealing an ordinary eunuch’s face.

However, at the moment of Zhu Huang’s death, several cracks appeared on the surface of his face, seemingly caused by the spiritual energy impact.

The elderly eunuch then reached up and wiped his face, peeling off a human-skin mask.

Underneath the mask was a face identical to Zhu Huang’s.
