"Stop!"

Chen Lan stood firm in the sky, speaking coldly to halt the attacks of the Jin-winged Roc and Snake Woman. They paused slightly and both looked up at Chen Lan.

The Jin-winged Roc and Snake Woman exchanged a glance, immediately returning to Chen Lan's side and watching the elder woman and ancient tree below.

"Young man, this is our affair. Why do you need to interfere?" the ancient tree spoke coldly.

"I have business with her, I hope you can pardon me this once, elder," Chen Lan said indifferently, pointing at the elder woman.

Upon hearing this, the elder woman looked up at Chen Lan, her body shook violently, and her eyes widened slightly.

Could it be, it really is him?

"Presumptuous! Do you think I'm afraid of you all?!" The ancient tree was unbearable, no one had ever dared to be so bold; it truly thought that it was waiting idly in the Celestial Realm's secret domain.

Just four Daoist Venerables, did it think they couldn't be killed?

Suddenly, the sky changed, dark clouds gathered, and a green-glowing ancient tree Dharma Body descended from the sky, standing behind the ancient tree, exuding an aura of Wood Dao Power, Poison Dao Power, and Life Dao Power, causing the surrounding flowers to bloom and then swiftly wilt from toxicity, repeatedly, strangely.

"Master, be careful, this ancient tree is strange. Its Dao seems not only at the Great Accomplishment stage." The Jin-winged Roc spoke softly.

Chen Lan said nothing, looking at the base of the ancient tree, finding its roots had long penetrated the earth, it contained not only three types of Dao, but also Earth Dao.

The Wood Dao and Earth Dao could complement each other. If utilized, they could stand undefeatable, as this ancient tree was a spirit of wood, aided by these two Daos, losing seemed unlikely.

"No matter, suppression is what matters." Chen Lan spoke calmly, his aura bursting forth as the sky was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, a Dharma Body descending!

A Thunder Spear in hand, exuding unparalleled thunder, resembling a Thunder God, Qing Lang's Law Body stood behind Chen Lan, holy and terrifying!

"Thunder Dao Perfection, no wonder you're so confident. But don't you know that the Wood Dao restrains the Thunder Dao?" the ancient tree laughed coldly.

Both the Wood Dao and Earth Dao restrain Thunder Dao, yet this person still dare use Thunder Dao, truly audacious.

"Try it then," Chen Lan said coldly, pressing down with a palm, "Suppress!"

Boom boom boom!

Countless thunder fell, as if trapped in a domain of thunder, surrounded by countless bolts of lightning, with no escape.

The Thundering Dharma Body swung its mighty hand, suppressing towards the ancient tree.

"Just Thunder Dao, wanting to suppress me?" The ancient tree laughed coldly, waving its branches, shouting furiously, "Wood Connects a Thousand Forests!"

Instantly, flowers bloomed everywhere, a wasteland quickly sprouting countless trees, flowers, and grass, as if arriving in a paradise.

But in an instant, these flourishing plants suddenly withered, emitting poisonous fog, withering trees resisting the mighty hand, preventing it from descending!

"Do you know what restrains the Wood Dao the most?" Chen Lan suddenly smiled faintly, gently gripping his fist, "Burn."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the attack summoned by the ancient tree Dharma Body ignited in raging flames, purple flames that burned the branches.

Seeing these flames, the ancient tree was shocked, feeling its very soul burning; these flames were extraordinary!

"Your flames can burn souls?!" The ancient tree exclaimed in shock, suddenly remembering something, crying out again, "Jiuyou Minghuo, could it be you've already refined Jiuyou Minghuo?!"

Chen Lan said nothing, lightly raising his hand, suppressing again, "Soul-burning Flames."

A realm of fire rose abruptly, enclosing the ancient tree without leaving a gap, thunder and fire combining, completely cutting off the ancient tree's direction.

Upon seeing this scene, the elder woman found herself too shocked to speak; at such a young age, he already grasped Thunder Perfection and Jiuyou Minghuo. Given a hundred years, wouldn't he achieve enlightenment and become a Taoist Saint?!

A Taoist Saint so young, in the Desolate Celestial Realm, would be extremely rare, wouldn't it?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall her grandson, also outstanding in his youth, suppressing his generation, unrivaled among his peers.

Regrettably, his parents were foolish, his family incompetent, only able to watch him be pressed into the lower realm, with no news since.

If he were still alive, would he be as powerful as this young man?

Regrettably, the worldly cycle has passed, hope is far too slim.

"Do you think that possessing Jiuyou Minghuo means you can defeat me?" The ancient tree spoke coldly, the surrounding soil erupted, raising walls to sever the flames, "Grass and Trees Become Soldiers!"

As soon as the words were uttered, countless trees seemed to gain consciousness, raising their heads to look at Chen Lan, flying towards him, their branches becoming swords, tree roots becoming limbs.

"Thunder Transforms Everything, Thunder Soldiers, Thunder Generals, await my command, vanquish monsters and demons!"

Chen Lan called out, countless bolts of lightning fell, multiple illusory black holes appeared behind him, from which emerged Thunder Dao Soldiers, bodies surrounded by lightning, wielding large blades and axes, heading towards the tree spirits.

"Today, I kill you, you shall die." Chen Lan flipped his hand, the sky turning eerily red, an ethereal phoenix of blue flame descending with a long cry, shaking the heavens, falling!

"Damn you, don't think!" The ancient tree roared, its chest exploding with green light, dazzlingly bright, an endless life aura erupting.

A gigantic tree giant, as huge as a mountain, uprooted itself, stood up, wielding a large tree axe, cleaving towards the phoenix.

Bang!!!

The two collided, exploding, fire and wood scattering, splintered wood falling from the sky, scattered across the ground.

"Order Chains of the Wood Dao!" The ancient tree released Wood Dao Power, countless vines erupted from its back, flying towards Chen Lan like serpents, aiming to entwine him.

"Retreat." Chen Lan uttered a word, thunder and fire burst forth, instantly forcing back the vines, striding forward, two fingers pinched together, "Your weakness has shown, Thunderfire Shocking Heaven Strike, annihilate!"

Suddenly pointing, a hum sounded, a long spear flew out from nowhere, charging towards the ancient tree, crackling with thunder, encircling the spear, its tip igniting in ethereal blue flames, eerie and incredibly swift.

Seeing this, the ancient tree was terrified, but before it could react, the long spear pierced through its chest's heart of life, burning the insides, gradually disintegrating its core!

Never did it expect its weakness to be discovered so quickly; its chest's heart of life was its weakness, and if shattered, it would completely perish.

As the ancient tree burned to ash, strands of Dao Power streamed into Chen Lan's body, absorbed fully by his Devouring Demon Technique, transforming into his Dao Power, strengthening his Dao.

However, he didn't refine on the spot but looked at the elder woman, instantly appearing before her, frowning as he looked at her.

The two just stared at each other, neither speaking a word.

"Have we met somewhere before?" Chen Lan asked first.

The more he looked, the stronger the feeling of familiarity grew; he was certain this elder woman had to be someone he knew.

But unexpectedly, his words caused the elder woman to burst into tears right then and there, sobbing, catching him off guard.

"Known, more than just known, you are my grand..."

Boom!!!

A heavenly thunder fell, striking between the two, a giant sword descended from the sky, separating them!

[Yu Lin, you've violated heavenly secrets, seeking death!!!]
