Chapter 751: Myriad Eras Primordial Peach Tree
The peach trees grew to towering heights, blocking out the sky and connecting together to form a canopy that covered the heavens.
In the pink mist, some people bled from all seven orifices, some exploded and died, and others lost their minds and began killing each other.
“Everyone, join forces to break this formation, or no one will leave alive!” the leader of the Blood Guards shouted.
Everyone had been deceived by the woman’s appearance and aura.
Once they realized what was happening, they didn’t hesitate and all launched their strongest attacks at the formation.
In an instant, countless bursts of spiritforce were aimed at the formation.
No one dared hold back.
Just then, as if provoked, the peach trees went berserk.
Each of them lashed out, opening gaping mouths and swallowing all the attacks and spiritual energy.
“This…” Everyone was completely stunned by what they saw.
“How are we supposed to fight this?”
“If it’s a formation, it must have a core. Everyone, find it quickly!” the leader of the Blood Guards called out.
As he spoke, several more people died violently.
In the blink of an eye, fewer than twenty people remained alive inside the formation.
They immediately began searching, but at that moment, the peach trees in the sky seemed to go mad, whipping their branches violently and stirring up a storm.
Countless wind blades swept down from above.
Several more people couldn’t dodge in time and were shredded by the wind blades.
“We can’t hold on!” Panic set in as the survivors began attacking aimlessly inside the formation.
Xu Zimo calmly sat cross-legged to the side.
The Heaven-Derivation Astrolabe he had obtained from Heaven-Ascension Holy Mountain revolved around him.
This disk could deduce all formations in the world. Xu Zimo hadn’t used it much since obtaining it.
But now, faced with this formation, it was worth trying out.
All formations ultimately rely on the principles of Yin-Yang and the Eight Trigrams, arranged according to the elements of nature.
Mutual generation and restraint, similar to the five elements.
In Xu Zimo’s mind, countless starlights rained down. The formation of these peach trees clearly involved the elements of wood and wind.
As Xu Zimo’s deduction reached its peak, the Heaven-Derivation Astrolabe spun faster and faster, almost too fast to see.
Next, Xu Zimo took a deep breath and slowly stood up. He gently tapped a point within the formation with his right hand.
As if triggering a central point, the entire formation began to tremble.
A drop of fire flowed from his fingertip into the formation, and instantly, the entire formation burst into flames.
The peach forest became fuel for the fire.
The woman in the sky saw this and a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She waved her right hand.
From the nearby waterfall, a drop of multicolored water fell.
In an instant, all the flames were extinguished, and the formation became even stronger.
“Well, time to start deducing again,” Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.
It was clear that this woman’s mastery of formation arts had reached perfection. She could form a formation with a single glance.
Such is the nature of formation arts.
You set it, I break it.
Now, fewer than ten percent of the people inside the formation remained. Only three or five were still alive, and they had long lost the will to fight.
Even the leader of the Blood Guards.
They all knelt down and began begging for mercy.
“Immortal fairy, spare us! We didn’t mean to disturb you. We just happened to see the Immortal Island appear in the Endless Sky Sea and came to investigate.”
“The island has landed again?” the woman in the sky murmured to herself. “So it’s been ten thousand years again.”
Her gaze turned cold as she said faintly, “You must have broken in. The entrance is guarded by the Twin Kui Beasts. How did you get in? Since you’re here, you might as well stay.”
She waved her right hand again, and the entire formation began to shrink.
As it shrank, the space the survivors could move in grew smaller and smaller.
Eventually, the woman clenched her right fist, and the formation shrank to the size of a small sphere before exploding.
The entire peach forest trembled. The woman’s figure slowly descended.
Seeing that not even a trace of the people remained, she stepped barefoot onto the ground, her eyes gazing solemnly into the distance.
“Your way of welcoming guests is really heartbreaking,” a voice suddenly echoed from afar. “They say ‘Isn’t it a joy to have friends visit from afar?’”
“Who’s there?” the woman snapped her head up.
On the branch of a peach tree nearby, a young man in a purple robe was casually leaning against it.
A saber was strapped to his back, and he had a bit of a rogue’s air about him.
“A fish that slipped through the net,” the woman snorted coldly, and the bell on her wrist rang again.
A flurry of peach blossoms surged toward Xu Zimo.
He shook his head with a smile and drew the curved blade in his hand.
With a loud “clang,” countless waves of blade energy raged through the peach forest, shredding the peach blossoms into pieces.
“I advise you not to act again. This peach forest is too beautiful, I’d hate to destroy it,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
“What do you want?” the woman asked coldly.
“Just curious. Came to look around the Immortal Island, no harm intended,” Xu Zimo replied.
“Then now that you’ve seen it, can you leave?” she asked.
“I haven’t checked behind that waterfall yet,” Xu Zimo pointed to the multicolored waterfall.
His divine sense had stretched out but seemed to be devoured by something. He could feel a terrifying presence lurking behind it.
“This is where your journey ends. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to use force to keep you here,” the woman said as her eyes narrowed.
“I’ve always been the type to head straight into danger,” Xu Zimo chuckled.
He stepped into the air and flew directly toward the waterfall.
The woman didn’t rush after him.
She slowly pulled out a flute from her waist.
As she began to play, a massive peach tree’s shadow appeared behind her.
It was as if she had been born from this tree.
It was the first peach tree to ever exist, its aura primitive and boundless.
“Peach blossoms bright and radiant,” she softly chanted.
Then the tree’s shadow merged with her, crossing endless space and appearing in front of Xu Zimo.
The shadow slowly solidified, turning into a real peach tree.
It looked like a monstrous creature, thousands of meters tall, spanning nearly a quarter of the entire Immortal Island.
Its branches were lush with leaves and hung full of peaches. Each blossom carried a primordial might.
“Incredible,” Xu Zimo smiled lightly as he felt the aura.
“The Myriad Eras Primordial Peach Tree… I didn’t expect it to still exist.”
