Chapter 390 Collecting the Phoenix Ancient Tree

The four demon kings led their many demon beasts in a chaotic battle. Naturally, they had tacitly agreed on the rules beforehand: in order to truly obtain the many spiritual herbs on the Phoenix Ancient Tree, the four sides had to fight a great battle, and the victor would be free to pick the spiritual herbs.

Lu Yang was shocked to see nearly a hundred demon beasts fighting, especially the battle between the four demon kings. However, it was precisely during this chaotic battle that he could take advantage of the situation.

He easily approached the main trunk of the Phoenix Tree, and then leaped onto a huge branch of the tree.

At this moment, Xuan Jueshe saw that the opportunity had arrived, and immediately waved her fair hand and shouted, "Charge with me and fight your way out!"

In another direction, where the sect disciples were gathered, a stunningly beautiful woman, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns and possessing an ethereal grace, shouted, "Kill! Let's charge in!"

This woman was none other than Yuan Qing, the senior disciple of the Lingwu Sect.

Yuan Qing led many martial arts prodigies from the sect, along with some ordinary martial arts disciples, like a sharp sword, charging into the place where the monsters were fighting.

Their ultimate goal is to locate the ancient Phoenix Tree.

On the other side, Teng Chong saw the aristocratic families and sects, whom they considered mere ants, finally charging into the chaotic battle of the demonic beasts. His eyes held a mocking, spectator's expression.

Yu Ming, standing beside him, echoed this sentiment, even adding sarcastically, "These ants are practically doing all the work for us. I wonder what kind of expressions they'll have when they watch us easily obtain the spiritual herbs!"

"It must have been incredibly exciting, right?"

"Ha ha……"

Teng Chong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just as the mocking smiles appeared on their faces, they suddenly froze, completely stunned as they witnessed something they could never have imagined in their lives.

The enormous phoenix tree that had stood in the center of the grassland suddenly began to shrink. Its massive canopy, which had previously blocked out the sun, was now reduced to only one-third of its original size.

Yu Ming quickly came to his senses, his expression unusually strange as he asked, "What...what happened?"

Why did the ancient phoenix tree suddenly shrink?

Tengchong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Xuan Jueshe led a group of young masters from various noble families, fighting their way through the monsters and carving a bloody path through the horde. Of course, they also lost many of their own.

However, they remained unmoved and charged directly toward the main trunk of the Phoenix Tree.

Just as they were preparing to deal with an attack from a certain demon king, the huge shadow of the ancient phoenix tree above their heads suddenly shrank considerably, and the shadow that was originally able to cover them disappeared in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Jueshe's expression revealed unprecedented astonishment: "What... what's going on?"

"How could the ancient phoenix tree shrink on its own?"

The others also exclaimed in disbelief, "What's going on?"

Why did the ancient phoenix tree shrink?

Not only were the aristocratic families shocked, but the sects were equally astounded, with many people filled with disbelief: "What exactly happened?"

"How could the ancient phoenix tree suddenly shrink and become smaller? Could it be that the ancient phoenix tree has undergone a transformation during its cultivation and acquired some special abilities?"

The Phoenix Ancient Tree can naturally transform itself; after all, it is not an ordinary tree, but a divine tree.

Otherwise, how could it have been chosen by the phoenix as its roosting tree?

Moreover, how could so many rare and precious herbs possibly grow on the branches of the other plant?

However, this ancient phoenix tree does not seem to have reached the point of true transformation. Otherwise, how could these relatively weak martial artists have truly seen its true form?

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed disciple exclaimed, "Everyone, look! The Phoenix Tree is actually shrinking!!"

The others looked closely and, sure enough, the ancient phoenix tree was indeed continuing to shrink.

Lu Yang stood on a huge branch of the ancient phoenix tree, constantly activating the array he had set up in advance from a distance. At the same time, he held a pure golden egg-sized bead in his hand, which was the dragon bead in his mind.

The Dragon Ball generated a tremendous suction force, which, through the array, acted upon the entire Phoenix Tree, causing it to gradually shrink.

Once the Phoenix Tree has shrunk to a certain size, Lu Yang can quickly use the Dragon Ball and the formation to store the entire Phoenix Tree into the Dragon Ball space in one fell swoop.

Tengchong is not only a formidable martial arts prodigy, but also a formation master whose skill in formations is almost on par with that of a true formation master.

With his keen senses, he quickly detected the aura of the array's power from afar.

He instantly realized something, and a terrifying aura surged from his body, causing him to shout angrily, "You're courting death! Someone actually dares to plot against the entire Phoenix Ancient Tree!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ming's expression changed drastically, revealing an incredulous look: "This person is simply insane! We only dare to covet the spiritual herbs on the Phoenix Ancient Tree, but he's actually targeting the entire Phoenix Ancient Tree! He's utterly inhuman!"

Tengchong dashed off, simultaneously reminding Yuming behind him, "Keep up! We have to stop him, or we might not even see Tang again!"

Yu Ming immediately roared, "You're courting death! I want to see who's so crazy!"

In a flash, his figure also rushed out, charging towards the Phoenix Ancient Tree together with Teng Chong.

Their men followed closely behind.

Wherever they went, the fighting monsters were quickly cut down, and they continued their charge toward the main trunk of the Phoenix Tree.

Lu Yang, who was collecting Phoenix Tree materials on the giant branch, suddenly sensed the presence of Tengchong and Yuming and some other people. His expression changed immediately. He was somewhat surprised that these people had discovered his trick so quickly.

They then charged toward the main trunk, attempting to stop him from continuing to manipulate the formation and the dragon ball to collect the Phoenix Ancient Tree.

He couldn't help but sneer: "If you want to stop me, you'll have to see if you're even qualified!"
