Qing Tong gritted his teeth until one of his teeth broke and spat out a dark red blood like it was mixed in by an unknown thing. The blood was moving like a writhing worm, stuck to his face forming a strange pattern.
The strange pattern was like life, like a leech that absorbed blood. It moved all over its body, including the Heavenly Bronze Tree wrapped around by the Blood Chain.
The Heavenly Bronze Tree trembled, then let out a buzzing sound that formed waves.
Mo Lian felt a wave of shakes hitting her body, making her bones rub against each other. It felt painful, but she held it back by biting her lips.
Then, there was the sound of birds screaming coming from far away.
Mo Lian looked in the direction where the source of the sound came from, and she saw there was a Three-Legged Crow with a flame wrapping around it.
The Three-legged Crow was First Brother, Third Brother, Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister.
Mo Lian looked at their eyes black and from her gaze cast hatred, but the hatred was not directed at her. He didn't know why they were like that, but upon seeing Qing Tong, he nodded and understood why they had such eye gazes.
"Soul Control?"
Qing Tong did not say anything, grinned and pushed both of his hands forward.
The Four Three-legged Crow swooped sharply towards Mo Lian. The auras in their bodies continued to solidify, all of their resentment that had been held back, being unleashed entirely and making their strength increase to another level.
Mo Lian could not move as she was trying to suppress the Heavenly Bronze Tree. So did Qing Tong who maintained the Yang Energy of the Heavenly Bronze Tree from being absorbed. But, Qing Tong had the advantage of having the Three-legged Crow under his control.
Seeing the arrival of the invading Three-legged Crow, Mo Lian sighed with emotion. The two points of light on his forehead came out, colored red and blue. Those two points of light were the Blood Essence granting from Lan Zhuan Shen of the Dragon Race and Ancestor Zhu of the Vermillion Race.
The Dragon and Vermillion worked together to fight the Three-legged Crow that came.
The strength of the two was not enough to fight the Three-legged Crow that came together, but it could at least hold the four of them for a while.
The Lightning Dragon roared, making the sky give off flashes of lightning that spread out like a spider web. Then with a thrust, a burst of lightning shot out from within his mouth, it shot sharply towards the First Brother in the lead.
The First Brother flapped a vast expanse like he was able to withstand the sun, and sure enough, there was a Sun created above him. The sun was not the original sun, but an illusion formed from energy, but the temperature it brought was real.
The First Brother flapped his wings again, making the illusion of the sun on it dart towards the Lightning Dragon.
Waves of hot air spread out as the illusion moved, with the distorted space even a slight crack.
Vermillion screamed in the same voice, opening his beak and spitting out a breath of fire that attacked the illusion of the sun.
Fire attacks and lightning bolts fused, inflicting even more powerful attacks, even cracks appearing more than First Brother's attacks.
Third Brother, Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister did not remain silent, or could be said to be forced to move because it was under the control of Qing Tong.
The three did not bring out the illusion of the sun, but gave their energy to First Brother.
That solar illusion got abundant energy, making its strength increase and its size many times larger than before.
When the First Brother's attack met with Vermillion's and Lightning Dragon's attacks, a Supernova explosion occurred that blew away anything in the vicinity. The space that separated the battle between Mo Lian and Qing Tong with the others, finally broke apart.
The Heavenly Tree and the Zhillao Tree were severely damaged, many branches were broken, the dense foliage was burnt to ashes.
Qing Tong was no better, one of his hands was broken from having to withstand the impact, and the other hand had lost its skin and flesh.
Mo Lian did not get any injuries as the impact moving towards her was absorbed by Kunpeng, so there was not the slightest bit of injury. Seeing Qing Tong's state, he stepped back while pushing both of his hands forward, as if trying to reach something. After succeeding, he clenched his hand and pulled it with all his might.
The Heavenly Bronze Tree trembled violently with a painful sounding buzzing sound in the ears. The trunk of his tree that was pierced by the Blood Crescent, began to be contaminated by the concentrated blood that spread slowly.
Boom up! Boom up! Boom up!
Hong Xi Jiang and the Jade Emperor were still exchanging blows.
The Jade Emperor looked in the direction where the loud explosion formed with huge flames like the destruction of a galaxy. He widened his eyes when he saw the changing Qing Tong and the fragile-looking Heavenly Bronze Tree. He looked at the Immortal Immortals who were still fighting against Wang Yue Fei and the others. "All of you! Switch your attacks to the boy!"
Hong Xi Jiang arrived in front of the Jade Emperor who had just balanced his body from being thrown. He stretched out his hand, caught the Jade Emperor's head and gripped it with all his might.
The Jade Emperor raised both hands, clasping the hand of Hong Xi Jiang clutching his head. He shouted loudly with focused pain in his head, even he could hear cracks from his own head.
Meanwhile, the Immortal God who was besieging Wang Yue Fei, when they heard the Jade Emperor's cry, they saw Mo Lian who was fighting against Qing Tong.
Without questioning why the Jade Emperor asked them to help Qing Tong, they immediately ignored Wang Yue Fei and attacked Mo Lian with full force.
Various attacks of different sizes and shapes shot towards Mo Lian. From time to time, the attack would grow stronger and faster.
With clenched hands, Mo Lian moved her two fingers. Kunpeng who was on the other side, suddenly appeared behind him and made his mouth, letting out a deafening scream.
Thousands of black holes suddenly appeared, capturing every attack there was.
Not only that, Kunpeng radiated a ray with a red-gold light. Then it enlarged beyond anything that was here, even the Heavenly Bronze Tree and the Heavenly Yun were nothing.
Kunpeng opened his mouth wide, then took a deep breath giving an extremely powerful suction power.
The Immortal Gods were attracted by Kunpeng's suction. Not much, but it's disturbing.
Wang Yue Fei took this opportunity to kill them all, and the others helped Mo Lian to fight the Three-legged Crow.
Seeing the situation upside down, Qing Tong gnashed his teeth. He stared intently at Mo Lian with full hatred. "You can't kill me. If you kill me, the Heavenly Dao will disappear, and the foundation of the Three Realms will be fragile. Without me, the Three Realms will be destroyed!"
Mo Lian took a deep breath. After stabilizing all the weight he was carrying, he lowered both his hands. With small steps, he arrived in front of Qing Tong.
Mo Lian raised her hand, clenching tightly.
Bang out!
Just by clenching his hands, a loud bang sounded with a shockwave. Space distorted, a wind storm like a sword formed, lightning struck, time slowed down a bit and the next second the time around him started to be chaotic.
Without giving Qing Tong a chance to react, Mo Lian hit Qing Tong's chest with all her might.
Boom up!
His punch hit Qing Tong's chest, causing him to crash and his relationship with the Heavenly Bronze Tree to be severed. Qing Tong's control with the Three-legged Crow also disappeared.
Mo Lian spread out her two hands, hundreds of thousands of swords appearing behind her. Then with a wave of his hand, the hundreds of thousands of swords shot towards Qing Tong, more precisely, leading to Qing Tong's bloody chest.
The blood on Qing Tong's chest looked different, the blood was extremely dark, and under the control of the Death God, Qing Tong's blood ate his own body.
Looking at the incoming sword, Qing Tong stabilized his body that was losing balance. But before he could take action, Chu Yeyu came behind him and caught his head.
Chu Yeyu tightly gripped Qing Tong's head. Sparks of fire lit up, grabbing Wing Tong and enveloping him.
"Aarrrgghh!" Qing Tong shouted out loudly. The pain he felt was more than anything he had ever experienced.
On the other hand, the sword that Mo Lian released kept darting, and in the end pierced Qing Tong's chest. But unlike what was expected by others where the sword penetrated, it entered Qing Tong's chest through the blood on his chest.
"Aarrrgghh!" Qing Tong again shouted, and this was louder and longer because every time the sword entered his chest, the pain spread. Not only did it hurt in the physique, but his soul also felt even more severe pain. The energy within his body continued to be torn apart, eroded bit by bit and absorbed by the Heavenly Yin Tree.
Mo Lian frowned as she looked at the non-dead Qing Tong.
Wang Yue Fei arrived beside Mo Lian and said, "The Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Bronze Tree are hard to kill unless we attack it to the very end without leaving anything behind, or we can expel him from the Three Realms."
Mo Lian nodded, and asked, "Is Yue Fu not finished yet?"
Wang Yue Fei shook her head and replied, "Not yet. Actually, destroying the Celestial Realm was easy. Our strength can kill all of the Jade Emperor's subordinates, but what troubles us is only the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Bronze Tree itself. That's why, we are waiting for you to develop the Heavenly Yin Tree and weaken the Heavenly Bronze Tree."
Mo Lian nodded small. He felt that something was wrong, all of this was finished quickly, there was no challenge at all as he had expected. Previously, Hong Xi Jiang said it was very difficult to attack the Celestial Realm, but looking around, it seemed easy.
"Maybe, there is a hidden danger. The Heavenly Bronze Tree is just a base?"
