539: Chapter 534: The Power of Life 539: Chapter 534: The Power of Life “Hehehehe!
Ye Tian’s women, you are my best bargaining chips!”
Tian Shisan appeared before the five women like a ghost, causing Yun Xinyan and the others to step back in fear.
Yun Xinyan glanced at the sisters around her.
She was Ye Tian’s lawfully wedded wife, and if there was to be any mention of Ye Tian’s woman, it should be her alone.
However, the other four women didn’t refute Tian Shisan’s words, which showed that they tacitly agreed to his statement…
Although Yun Xinyan was displeased, what she cared about most at the moment was the life and death of Ye Tian!
“What do you want to do?”
Yun Xinyan straightened her back and said, not at all intimidated by Tian Shisan’s aura.
Tian Shisan sneered, “Ye Tian has been severely wounded by me!
He has fled, and I will use you to force him out!”
No sooner had his words fallen than Wang Bingbing firmly denied them, “You’re talking nonsense!
Ye Tian would never be defeated by someone like you!!”
Wang Bingbing was acutely aware of Ye Tian’s strength.
Even the strongest Martial Artist from England was no match for Ye Tian.
In this world, who could possibly defeat Ye Tian?
“In my eyes, he is no more than an ant!
Defeating an ant is mere child’s play, but fortunately for him, his flesh and blood are of some use to me, which is why I left him alive!”
Tian Shisan said coldly, his words making the five women tremble all over.
The man before them wasn’t just powerful, but his entire being exuded an evil aura that struck terror into their hearts…
While Tian Shisan was about to capture all of Ye Tian’s women, Ye Tian had already begun to regulate his qi and blood, gradually healing his injuries.
Ye Tian took out the crystal and the golden horn, drawing continuously on the power of these two treasures!
Although Ye Tian had not yet discovered how to use these two treasures in combat, he certainly knew how to use the crystal and the golden horn to heal his injuries.
Unbeknownst to him, the knife wounds on his body disappeared, and Ye Tian’s body became as it was before he had fought with Tian Shisan.
However, while the external injuries had healed, the internal injuries he had sustained were not so easily recovered…
Ye Tian channeled Silent Qi of the Nether God, ensuring the unobstructed flow of his qi and blood!
Tian Shisan was truly a top-class expert.
The slash Ye Tian received would have reduced any ordinary person to ashes, but it was only because of his robust constitution that Ye Tian had survived.
But no matter how resilient the body, it was still damaged by the blade qi, and despite Ye Tian’s best efforts, the recovery from the internal injuries was not swift!
“Ugh!”
The forced exertion caused Ye Tian to spit out a large mouthful of fresh blood, and overwhelmed by the rush of qi and blood, he fainted.
In a haze, Ye Tian’s hand touched the wooden knife made from the core of the millennium ancient tree…
His consciousness blurring, he didn’t even know where he was, or who he was!
He no longer felt as though he was in a cold cave but bathed in warm sunlight.
The gentle rays warmed him, making Ye Tian feel incredibly refreshed.
Ye Tian opened his eyes, only to be greeted by a lush green forest, verdant grasslands, and a canopy of densely packed leaves that created mottled patterns of sunlight filtering into the forest.
And yet, despite this, the sunlight remained warm…
Under the bathing glow of the sun, a sapling gradually grew.
Decades passed, and the sapling thickened;
Centuries passed, and it had become a towering tree, capable of upholding a realm of its own;
Millennia passed, and it had turned into a rare ancient tree in the forest, understanding the cycle of seasons, and the blossoming and withering of flowers, watching the rise and fall of the forest’s splendor with a smile;
After ten thousand years, its heart had slowly aged, but this didn’t prevent it from continuing to protect the animals and plants in the forest from the elements with its own strength.
Ye Tian gradually felt this – though ten thousand years had passed, there was never any sense of despondency or despair, but instead, the tree always had an upward-thriving attitude to welcome each new day!
This power was the true essence of “life”!
Time flew by, the years like a fleeting shuttle…
The towering ancient tree stood proud in the forest, but even the most robust trees can’t withstand the natural calamities.
“Crash!”
A lightning bolt struck from the heavens, hitting the thick trunk of the tree, and it caught fire!
Despite the howling winds and torrential rains, the flames never died…
The dense leaves burned, the branches burned, and the fire grew bigger, rapidly spreading to the trunk.
Though sturdy, it could not withstand the raging forest fire.
No one knew how long the fire burned, but when it was extinguished, the millennium ancient tree had lost its former appearance.
The charred trunk led everyone, every creature, to believe the ancient tree had died!
But in truth, the ancient tree had not died, and it was still struggling…
Even as the trunk withered day by day, even when the surrounding soil had no more nutrients, the ancient tree was not dead; it continued to live on with determination!
After an unknown number of years, the ancient tree finally encountered the person it had been waiting for.
A mighty one had peeled away the already lifeless trunk, and taken the most vibrant heart of the ancient tree—that was the power of “life”!
From life to death, from death to life…
The Heavenly Dao is clear and bright, with infinite cycles of reincarnation!
The Tree Heart World, which had lost all hope, ignited the thought of life once again.
In the first half of its existence, it lived as a tree, but in the second half, it would exist as a Life Weapon!
Unconsciously, Ye Tian wept.
He was touched by the millennium ancient tree, he sympathized with the tree’s despair due to its withering, yet the determination not to bow to fate; his heart once again merged with that of the tree.
The tree’s power continuously flowed into Ye Tian’s body, making him feel very warm, very warm…
The internal injuries he had sustained during the battle with Tian Shisan finally began to slowly heal.
A night passed, and by daylight, Ye Tian had not yet awakened from the Tree Heart World…
Meanwhile, in the spacious warehouse in Jiang City, Yun Xinyan, Zhu Rou, Wang Bingbing, Liu Fei’er, Bai Lan, and five other women could only make do with a night’s sleep.
Not a single woman had slept well; besides fearing Tian Shisan, they were also terrified for Ye Tian!
“Everyone, don’t panic, Ye Tian will definitely be alright!
Over these days, Ye Tian has faced many dangers, but each time, he has managed to turn misfortune into a blessing.
So, he will definitely come back safely and rescue us!”
Yun Xinyan constantly comforted the women, while the others also did not believe that Ye Tian would fall to Tian Shisan.
“Yun Xinyan is right, Ye Tian can even kill a tiger!
How could he possibly be defeated by that villain?” Zhu Rou said hastily.
“That’s right, that’s right, Ye Tian is the strongest!
He won’t lose!” Liu Fei’er added.
As for Wang Bingbing and Bai Lan, who were slightly older, they always maintained a mature demeanor and did not join the conversation.
Just then, the door to the warehouse suddenly opened, and the chief culprit, Tian Shisan, entered!
If it were just Tian Shisan alone, Yun Xinyan and the others might not have been so frightened, but accompanying him was an innumerable amount of burly men, each holding a large wolfhound!
The mere formation was enough to turn Yun Xinyan and the other women pale with fear…
Tian Shisan ordered his men to control the wolfhounds, then sprinkled some dog food on the ground, which each wolfhound gobbled up.
After eating, their eyes emitted a bloody light—they no longer resembled dogs, but rather ferocious wolves!
“Do you know what I mixed into the dog food?”
Tian Shisan asked the five women with a smug look.
“…”
Yun Xinyan and the others did not respond, but their expressions were solemn, and they all clearly understood that Tian Shisan must have some evil plan.
“Let me tell you!
I mixed aphrodisiacs into the dog food.
Once these beasts consume it, they will attack without distinguishing between humans and dogs!
I will wait until dusk, and if Ye Tian still hasn’t shown up by then, I will release these hundred wolfhounds and have these hundred men together, to thoroughly ravage you!”
Having said this, Tian Shisan burst into laughter, but Yun Xinyan and the other women were so frightened that they were shaking and did not know what to do…
While Tian Shisan was preparing to make a move on Ye Tian’s women, Ye Tian was still asleep, slowly contemplating everything he had seen in the Tree Heart World, and his body’s injuries were also slowly healing.
Where does the power of the millennium ancient tree originate from?
Why is this power so immense?
How can I harness this tremendous power?
…
In Ye Tian’s mind, countless questions emerged.
If these questions could not be resolved, Ye Tian would not be able to achieve a breakthrough; his power would remain stagnant.
However, haste makes waste.
Even Ye Tian, with his high comprehension, could not understand it all at once…
In the midst of obscurity, Ye Tian once again fell into a state of confusion.
Why?
Why?
Why?
—These queries incessantly echoed in Ye Tian’s mind!
All was pitch black before him, with no light nor any sense of warmth felt.
Where am I?
Ye Tian asked himself again, but still no answer came.
Just as Ye Tian was at his wits’ end, his entire body was suddenly moistened by water—not just any water, but the spring rain that had freshly infiltrated the soil!
The spring rain brought strength to Ye Tian; this power enlightened him!
His eyes could once again see—there was soil, grass, sunlight, and nature—wasn’t this exactly what it felt like for a seed to break through the earth?
So this was the power of life!
Ye Tian had finally grasped that little bit!
