Chapter 99: The Fusang Divine Tree (1)

"Boom!"
In an instant, a green light emerged from the top of his head, and a virtual image of a green qilin appeared, roaring and rushing towards Murong Liang.
"Mucity Zhong, you...!" Seeing that Mucity Zhong had chosen to burn his life essence to fight them to the death, both of them changed color and hurriedly chased after him.
However, in the moment when the Qilin roared, the body of Mu Chengzhong trembled violently, as if experiencing great pain.
A fiendish smile appeared on Mu Chengzhong's face as he gritted his teeth and said: "The path of destiny is not something others can interfere with! Liang er, go ahead and spill your own blood freely! Hahaha!"
During Mu Chengzhong's speech, his originally old and withered body suddenly expanded, and his breath rose steadily!
"Roar! Boom!"
Two earth-shattering roars came from the mouth of the Qilin, as if it could deter the eight wildernesses and the six combinations, and the world changed color for a while!
Mu Chengzhong exhausted his last bit of energy and successfully fought off Misty Peak Master, Dragon Constellation Peak Master, and Anmen Peak Master who had surrounded Mu Rongliang.
The body of the Qilin phantom suddenly exploded, and the terrifying green flames and powerful energy storms swept the three people; in an instant, they were submerged in them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a dull sound, Misty Peak Master, Dragon Star Peak Master, and Anmen Peak Master all tried their best to escape the fatal attack from Mu City Bell, but all of them suffered serious injuries and fell to distant mountain peaks, disappearing from sight.
And at this moment, Mu City Bell was also at the end of his rope, slowly falling from mid-air, with cracks running all over his body and not a trace of blood left.
"Second Grandpa!" Mu Rongliang hurriedly flew towards Mu City Bell, looking at his tragic appearance, shouting in grief and indignation.
"Grandpa Er, Grandpa Er!" Murong Liang called out repeatedly, tears flowing down his face as he tried to transfer spiritual energy to him.
"Liang'er, don't...don't blame your uncle and your father anymore...do what you want to do." Murong Zhong said, before finally passing away.
"Grandpa Er!" Mu Qianying had been watching the battle in the sky from afar, but when she discovered that the mysterious old man was her own Grandpa Er, she could no longer remain calm. "Xie Lintian, please, take me over there!"
Xie Lingtian immediately flew up with her to quickly reach Mu Rongliang's side upon seeing this.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!" Mu Rongliang's face was full of sorrow and grief upon seeing Mu Chengzhong fall, he roared with sorrow and anger, and his eyes burst with strong hatred, rage and intense killing intent.
Murong Liang's eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, as a powerful bloodthirsty aura emerged from within him. The world around him was suddenly enveloped in an eerie chill!
"All of you, die for me!"
"Oh no!" Xie Lingtian was stunned, but he was too close to Murong Liang at this moment. Without even looking at who it was, he angrily punched towards him!
Xie Lingtian's face changed dramatically. Under duress, he had to hold Murong Qianying in his arms and use his demonized body to shield her in front of him.
"Boom!"
Fierce attacks landed on his back, causing his body to shake violently, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!
Mu Qianying in Xie Lingtian's arms was thrown out.
"Not good!" Master of Xiu Ling Peak saw the situation and rushed to catch his disciple.
At this moment, the spirit body of Murong Liang also appeared behind him - the image of the Ice and Thunder Saint.
"Ah ah ah ~~~"
His long white hair was flying, and his spiritual power was surging. Two pairs of imperial wings released dazzling white light; the Ice and Thunder Saint behind him held his hands in a triangle shape and suddenly opened his eyes.
In an instant, it seemed that all the light was engulfed by it, and the whole world was plunged into darkness. A destructive energy that made everyone change color emanated from it and reached the statue of the demon god above the clouds.
"This force is too strong, retreat quickly!" The black-clothed people who had been watching the situation knew that they could not stay here any longer and quickly turned to flee.
Meanwhile, the Mo family, the Jade Star Valley, the Purple Scarf Elder, and Qian Jing also hurriedly left the area.
The Emperor Wing warriors on both sides of the mountain peak, as well as Yan Qing’er, Luan Tian, and others, also used their flying magic tools to evacuate from the Town God Mountain, which was about to completely collapse.
"Extreme light and extreme darkness, let everything return to chaos!"
Murong Liang placed the Divine Sword that Seals the Heavens in front of him, and his entire aura reached its peak in this moment. White lightning and extremely dark spheres appeared on both of his slender palms.
Then, Murong Liang joined his index and middle fingers of both hands together and pointed forward fiercely!
"Shoo!"
白雷之光和极暗之球互相交错地撞向前方的封天神剑之上；两种光芒融合进剑身之中，汇聚至剑尖处。
"Boom!"瞬间一道巨大的无形能量向四周扩散开去。
At this moment, the split Zhenshen Mountain shook wildly again, and when the invisible energy wave reached the mountain, it exploded instantly.
The entire Zhenshen Mountain was razed to the ground and completely shattered by Mu Rongliang's attack!
In an instant, countless rocks and stones were shattered and spread out, large pieces falling from the sky like meteorites, covering the sky and striking the ground!
Even the other four peaks in the distance suffered varying degrees of devastation; the elders and sect members of the Zhen Shen Sect on the mountain were all pressed down onto the ground; some weaker disciples were unable to escape and were hit by the debris, dying on the spot.
For a moment, screams of terror resounded one after another.
All of a sudden, it seemed as though the heavens and the earth had been split in two; on one side, there was extreme brightness, while on the other, utter darkness.
Murong Liang's body was situated on the dividing line between the two, symmetrically divided like a mirror image.
A half white figure of him emerged in the darkness; his other half black form was highlighted in the light, appearing extremely eerie.
*Splash!*
A mouthful of black blood spurted out, and Murong Liang's body swayed a few times.
Using the third stage of the Song of Creation forcibly, his spiritual energy and blood within his body are constantly drawn by these two extreme energies, causing his body to become extremely weak.
而其灵魂之体，更是被那无匹的吸扯力量拉扯着，仿佛随时都会被其撕扯成两半。
但是，此刻的慕容凉却已经顾不得太多，他的脸上布满狰狞的杀机，疯狂地运转功法。
……
"Lingtian!" Yan Qing'er and Du Er shouted loudly as they were taken away by the old Taoist priest, Silver Yao Sect Master, and others, and disappeared into the magical power of Mu Rong Liang.
At this moment, no one could save him.
Even the Elemental Elder, Xiuling Peak Master, White Spirit Emperor, and Mr. Bu dare not easily touch it!
"Elder Taoist! Please, hurry and save Lintian!" Yan Qing'er looked at the elder Taoist, crying and begging.
The old Taoist was also helpless, only shaking his head and sighing, "Qinger, this... sigh! Poor Daoist is really powerless."
Even if it was a Xuan Ling realm expert, it was impossible to rescue Xie Lingtian within the attack range of the hundred-meter core.
After being saved by the Show Ling Peak Lord, Mu Qianying felt a wave of sadness in her heart as she silently shed tears. She knew very well that under such power, survival was only possible if a miracle occurred.
Xiu Ling, the peak master, frowned slightly as he saw the sorrowful expression of his disciple.
"What is that?"
"Huh? Is that... the Yin Yang Bagua diagram?"
"And... that's... Xie Lingtian!"
Cao Dan was the first to discover a rotating Yin-Yang Bagua pattern appearing in the air, separated from Murong Liang by a hundred meters.
Subsequently, Yan Qing'er, Du Er, and a group of people looked towards the sky split into black and white in the north, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces and inexplicable emotions of shock and worry flickering in their eyes.
Xie Lingtian's figure appeared at the intersection of the two forces' interfaces, just like Muroong Liang. However, the Yin Yang Universe Releasing Diagram behind him was rotating faintly in response to the two forces released by Muroong Liang!
Murong Liang's eyes stared fixedly at Xie Lingtian, who should not have appeared here, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Shoo!"
Murong Liang's figure suddenly accelerated, and he rushed to a few meters away from Xie Lingtian in an instant.
"Xie Lingtian, is this your spiritual body?" Muyu Liang looked at the yin-yang bagua diagram behind him while showing a hint of curiosity; because he could also sense that the other party had a similar power to his.
"Not bad." Xie Lingtian looked up at Mu Rongliang in front of him. "What kind of technique is this? It's very powerful; but I haven't been hurt, instead...I feel somewhat familiar."
Murong Liang looked deeply into Xie Lingtian's eyes and after a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."
"Haha, don't forget that you killed my friend Qing er in the Soul Hunting Sect. I'm going to kill you to avenge her!" Xie Lingtian's tone suddenly changed.
As he mentioned the "Qinger" from the Soul Hunting Sect for the second time, a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall whether he had ever killed such a person.
"Your friend? That lowly maid?" Mu Rong Liang's face displayed arrogance and contempt. "Xie Lingtian, I thought you were a big shot. You have disappointed me."
"Your disappointment or lack thereof is completely irrelevant to me!" Xie Lingtian looked at Murong Liang coldly, and his tone gradually contained a hint of killing intent. "Whether I do big things or not, I don't care; I care about the people and things that I think are worth giving everything for!"
"You remind me of myself back then, hehe." MURONG Liang's lips curled up with a self-deprecating smile, but his eyes became increasingly cold. "You still need to grow; follow me and I'll give you the opportunity for revenge."
"Follow you?" Xie Lingtian sneered, "Ha, you destroyed Zhen Shen Mountain and released the statue of the Demon King. Do you think they will let you go easily?"
"The statue of the Demon King has helped me enough. If I want to leave now, no one can stop me." Mu Rongliang said confidently, then changed the subject, "By the way, I promised to tell you the identity of your father's killer. He is She Kong..."
"I know, no need to say it again," Xie Lingtian interrupted without hesitation.
Murong Liang wasn't angry, and continued, "There's another secret that you probably don't know."
"What secret? Don't beat around the bush."
"Besides the Soul Hunting Clan, there is one other person who forced me to use the Corpse Demon Pearl to bring about the destruction of the Mu family and manipulate it from behind the scenes."
“Who?”
"The current Saint Emperor of Tianzhi Nation, Bai Lingdi!" Mu Rongliang said each word slowly, his tone was bone-chillingly cold and full of killing intent. "If it weren't for him wanting to unify the Realm of Righteousness, if it weren't for him targeting my Mu family's Corpse Demon Pearl, none of this would have happened. Your father wouldn't have died by the hands of She Kong's subordinates either!"
At last, Mu Rongliang's expression was full of hatred!
Xie Lintian's face changed unpredictably after hearing it; he didn't expect that the matter of the Corpse Demon Pearl would involve the White Spirit Emperor!
He and his father were just passersby among these powerful aristocrats fighting for the world for an insignificant, trivial, and unimportant thing!
But for him, everything changed because of it!
Just as they were discussing this, there was a loud rumbling sound from the bottomless abyss where the original Town God Mountain was located, and with violent shaking, a surge of demonic energy rushed out of the abyss!
"Buzz...buzz...buzz...!"
A violent buzzing sound erupted, followed by an overwhelming and terrifying force that shattered the spatial balance maintained by Mu Rongliang's spell, directly breaking it!
"Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack!"
*Splash!* The spell was shattered by a sudden burst of powerful force, causing him to suffer from severe backlash and couldn't help but vomit several mouthfuls of blood.
Suddenly, a tremendous pressure emanated from the statue of the Demon Emperor towering above them in the sky, unleashing a devastating shockwave.
The three Grand Elders of the Town God Sect were seen shattering and being forcefully pushed back by the impact!
Next, a subtle, ancient, profound, vicissitudes-filled, and majestic voice spread across the entire land, shaking the ears and eyes of all practitioners.
The four demon eyes of the demon emperor's statue suddenly opened, and the huge demon palm lifted slightly, "Rise, Fusang divine tree!"
