Seeing that Lin Xuan and the other person did not intercept, Duan Tianlang also felt relieved.
Then, his confidence was restored once more.
Indeed, although the other party was formidable, they were only two people, while they had two top forces. If a fight broke out, he could guarantee that the opponent would not gain any advantage.
So, in his view, the reason Lin Xuan did not intercept was because they were powerful.
He didn't even think about the Ancient Tree.
"You guys, go up and pick all the silver leaves and Spirit Fruits."
Duan Tianlang and the elder of the Divine Bird Palace both issued orders.
Immediately, those young martial artists quickly stepped forward, their faces filled with ecstatic expressions.
No matter how strong Lin Xuan was, isn't he now just watching them seize the Spirit Fruits?
They also knew a thing or two about the effects of these Spirit Fruits, and since there were quite a number here, if they performed well, they might even receive a share.
Thinking of this, the young martial artists became even more excited, speeding up their steps significantly towards the front.
Furthermore, two young martial artists with a cultivation level of Sixth-Realm Venerable quickly took action, attempting to pick the Spirit Fruits before everyone else.
However, just as the two martial artists approached, the Ancient Tree in front suddenly shook, and its branches seemed to transform into the sharpest Divine Spears, piercing through the two martial artists in an instant.
The attack was so sudden that the two martial artists had no time to react, and were punctured by the branches.
As they struggled to resist, a strange power suddenly surged from the branches, draining all the flesh and Essence Blood from their bodies.
Thud! Thud!
Two sounds were heard, and then the two desiccated corpses fell to the ground.
This scene directly petrified everyone, and those martial artists who were about to reach for the fruits all halted their steps.
Moreover, everyone's face showed an expression of terror, as if they had seen a ghost.
It was unavoidable, as this was too terrifying. The Ancient Tree, which they had deemed within easy reach, launched such a fierce attack.
In an instant, it pierced through two Sixth-Realm Venerables.
A single blow, deadly and efficient.
Behind them, Lin Xuan displayed a cold smile; it was just as he had suspected, these Spirit Fruits were not that easy to pick.
However, Duan Tianlang and the elder of the Divine Bird Palace's pupils shrunk sharply, their expressions changing starkly.
The reason they had their disciples act was that such matters were inappropriate for them to do, but they had not expected something like this to happen.
Quickly, Duan Tianlang recovered from his shock and swiftly ordered, "Everyone, fall back!"
In reality, without him shouting, those young martial artists had already retreated; they dared not proceed further.
When all the martial artists retreated to his side, Duan Tianlang and the elder of the Divine Bird Palace quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
For from the Ancient Tree's earlier attack, even if a Seventh Layer Venerable were to strike, they might not safely pick the fruits.
"It seems we misjudged this time."
Duan Tianlang took a deep breath, his voice incredibly grave. When he turned and saw Lin Xuan's mocking face, he was immediately enraged.
"Damn it, we were tricked!"
The look on the opponent's face suggested they knew beforehand there was danger. Yet, they said nothing, didn't even try to stop them, clearly wanting to trap them.
Thinking of this, Duan Tianlang's face became ferocious.
"Boy, don't get too pleased with yourself. Do you think this will stump us?"
"Let me tell you, the War God Palace is far more formidable than you imagine!"
"Believe it or not, you won't get a single Spirit Fruit from this tree!"
Duan Tianlang roared.
"Whether I can get a Spirit Fruit or not is none of your concern. I'm rather curious if you can get one."
Lin Xuan sneered with his hands behind his back.
"Hmph, don't act smug. Today, I'll open your eyes."
Duan Tianlang snorted coldly, then turned back to stare at the Ancient Tree.
The next moment, he let out a low shout, swiftly taking action, his towering figure bursting forth with immense energy.
A beam of light shone, the massive hand reaching towards the front.
There was no doubt, Duan Tianlang was indeed formidable, even among the Seventh Layer Venerables, he was exceptionally powerful.
The massive hand formed by the Spiritual Power enveloped the entire Ancient Tree, even creating an enclosed space, attempting to uproot it.
The Ancient Tree sensed danger, and all its branches trembled.
Each branch emitted intense light, like a multitude of Divine Demon Spears, quickly stabbing into the void.
Rumble!
The intense sounds of collision erupted, countless branches turning into sharp long spears, fiercely stabbing at the enormous hand of Spiritual Power, producing a clanging sound.
Subsequently, the massive hand of Spiritual Power was pierced with countless holes, unable to withstand it, and ultimately dispersed back into Spiritual Energy, dissipating into the sky.
And those hundreds of long spears also transformed back into branches, quickly hanging down, swaying with the wind.
"What? It blocked it!"
"How is this possible?"
In disbelief, those martial artists in the rear were stunned, unable to fathom that an Ancient Tree could block the full-force attack of a Seventh Layer Venerable.
Even Duan Tianlang was astonished; he hadn't expected his attack to be so easily thwarted.
It seemed the Ancient Tree was more troublesome than he had imagined.
At this moment, Lin Xuan burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this really makes me laugh! So this is the power of the War God Palace? Truly an eye-opener!"
Hearing Lin Xuan's jeers, Duan Tianlang's face turned extremely ferocious.
And now, the elder of the Divine Bird Palace also stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, "Mr. Duan, let me assist you."
"Alright!"
Duan Tianlang nodded emphatically, his eyes once again gleaming with light.
He ignored Lin Xuan and once again focused on the Ancient Tree ahead, this time intending to unleash his Martial Soul with full force!
Duan Tianlang's Martial Soul was a Demon Wolf with cyan wings, immensely mighty.
The moment the Demon Wolf emerged, it erupted with an extremely violent power, as if a Supreme Beast had awakened.
On the other hand, the elder of the Divine Bird Palace also unleashed his Thunderbird Martial Soul, and the two joined forces, quickly attacking ahead.
This was the attack of two Seventh Layer Venerables, with unimaginable power.
In an instant, the terrifying pressure permeated the entire space; if it weren't for being at the Azure Pine Hall, the entire land might have collapsed.
Nonetheless, the terrifying energy still caused the entire ground to tremble slightly.
The Thunderbird flew, carrying insurmountable Thunder, with huge bolts of lightning rapidly falling from the sky, striking all around.
That attack would be difficult to withstand, even for a Seventh Layer Venerable.
In an instant, countless bolts of Thunder struck the Ancient Tree ahead.
Simultaneously, the winged Demon Wolf ran with all its might, opening its mouth to unleash gray winds.
The ordinary mountains and lands could hardly resist before this wind, potentially turning to ashes in an instant.
Two terrifying energy masses soared into the sky, like chaotic stones piercing the sky, the sight horrifying to the extreme.
