Chapter 368: Be Good, Don’t Make Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The human-headed monsters brought by the Mother Tree had already been completely wiped out, and the remaining few stray monsters were also dispersed by the Mother Tree.

This reduced the targets for Lu Ming and the Mother Tree.

As both of them were of a different kind, not attracting monsters, and with caution, they could traverse the Black Mist Zone without encountering too much danger.

Of course, this ‘too much’ was anchored to Lu Ming’s current strength standard.

In fact, even the weakest monsters had an absurdly high body strength, estimated to be around a million-level, which was already the physical strength standard of Ancient Realm experts.

Added to that, their natural restraint on Source Power, silver patterns, and

Divine Source.

Even a blood-patterned quasi-god found it difficult to move an inch in the Black Mist Zone.

However, Lu Ming was no longer a quasi-god.

According to the original grading standards within the Black Mist Zone, Lu Ming was now a true Divine Spirit Realm expert!

The divinity in his right hand automatically activated.

Not only did it help Lu Ming restrain the Source Power and Divine Source within his body, but it also continuously nourished the blood patterns at the core. When Lu Ming needed it, this divinity could erupt with a formidable power.

This power was far greater than Lu Ming’s 144 blood patterns!

Quietly, the monsters that might hinder him along the way were purified by Lu Ming remotely and disappeared. The Mother Tree, however, remained completely unaware of everything Lu Ming was doing.

It just thought that the two of them were incredibly lucky, not encountering a single monster along the way. However, it never considered the possibility that Lu Ming might be a Divine Realm Expert.

Without the hindrance of monsters, the two of them moved even faster.

The downside was that the journey became somewhat dull.

Ruins, Black Mist, and monsters.

These three were enough to describe everything Lu Ming saw and heard along the way.

The Black Mist was in charge of blocking the senses of the extraordinary beings of the Source Power System. The monsters were in charge of hunting prey that had lost their senses. The ruins were the joint result of the Black Mist and the monsters.

Guitan Province was originally the hinterland of the Eternal Clan.

The terrain was flat, resources were abundant, and the population was dense with cities scattered all around. However, after the recent unfavorable situation in the frontline war, more people from other provinces moved to Guitan Province, pushing its total population beyond three billion.

However, after experiencing the chaos caused by the Black Mist and the monsters, how could Lu Ming see any prosperity?

It was almost turning into a ghost city…

Sparsely, he also saw some survivors along the way.

However, almost all of them were ordinary people without cultivation.

They struggled with difficulty to survive here. Lu Ming could only ignore them under the catastrophe of this level, even if Lu Ming were ten times stronger, he could not save everyone.

He could only turn a blind eye and continue moving forward under the guidance of the Mother Tree.

Five days later, Lu Ming and the Mother Tree arrived at the place where the Mother Tree had entered the Black Mist.

Unfortunately, this place had already been invaded by the Black Mist.

This thing was spreading outward at a not-so-slow speed, and the former border had long been engulfed.

Helpless, the two of them could only continue moving forward.

After advancing for another three days, they finally saw the border of the Black Mist.

It was like a clearly visible boundary.

On one side was the thick, all-devouring Black Mist, and on the other side was the familiar scene without the Black Mist.

At this point, the Mother Tree finally could not hold it in anymore.

It cheered and, with a leap, rushed out of the Black Mist Zone.

Standing at the border, the Mother Tree turned to look at Lu Ming.

The corners of its mouth slowly curled up.

It looked very friendly, but one could faintly see a trace of deeply hidden malice.

“Brother Lu, come, come out.”

As it spoke, the Mother Tree squirmed like a young lady who had not married.

It deliberately used a coquettish voice, prolonging its voice, “I’m begging you…”

This made Lu Ming burst into laughter.

The mood that was somewhat suppressed before suddenly felt much better for some reason.

He nodded and said, “Since you’re begging me like this, I’ll reluctantly fulfill your request.”

As he spoke, he strode forward and arrived at the border of the Black Mist.

He deliberately stood in the Black Mist and was only a step away from crossing into the Black Mist World.

Lu Ming paused and smiled, “I’m out now…”

The Mother Tree said, “Yes, yes, yes. Come out.”

Lu Ming replied, “I’m really out now.”

The Mother Tree nodded like a chick pecking at rice, “Come out. Come out and I’ll take you to Old man, Jiu Han.”

It’s Teacher Jiu Han.”

“Is a f*cking title that important?!” The Mother Tree suddenly became enraged, as if it could tell that Lu Ming was teasing it. Its expression instantly turned ferocious as it roared loudly at Lu Ming, “Before I’m angry to the extreme, you kid, hurry up and roll out!”

“Kneel down and kneel in front of me. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make you beg for death!!”

It recalled everything that had happened in Nanxiang City previously.

It thought of everything that had happened a week ago.

The Mother Tree was furious and could not suppress its emotional fluctuations at all.

It roared ferociously, vowing to avenge its previous humiliation.

For this revenge, the Mother Tree had made many preparations.

And a full eight days of travel time were enough for the Mother Tree to turn everything it had prepared into a set of traps, laid out on Lu Ming’s inevitable path!

At this moment, under the ground between the two of them, three human-headed monsters were quietly lurking, suppressing all their breaths.

The three human-headed monsters had giant-like bodies, and their bodies were identical—tall, strong, and covered in magic patterns.

A rough estimate revealed over a thousand blood patterns and nearly ten thousand silver and golden patterns!

At the beginning, when the Mother Tree collaborated with the Insect Clan and the Giant Clan, there was some intrigue among the three parties—the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan did not provide the Mother Tree with overly powerful genetic samples. Even the genetic samples of Source Realm experts had to be carefully selected.

However, after cooperating with the Corpse Clan, or rather with Zero, Zero lifted the restrictions on the Mother Tree!

Not only did it provide genetic samples of the Beast King, but the Mother Tree also lacked neither genetic samples of quasi-gods nor, surprisingly, genetic samples of divine realm experts.

However, the Mother Tree could not replicate the Divine Spirit Realm.

Before, the Mother Tree did not know why, but the current Lu Ming could actually provide an answer—the core of the Divine Spirit Realm was the divinity, and without the divinity, a Divine Spirit Realm would just be an Ancient Realm.

And the Mother Tree did not seem to be able to replicate divinity, so it naturally could not replicate Divine Spirit Realm experts.

Back to the main topic.

At this moment, the three humanoid monsters underground were using bodies that once belonged to the strongest quasi-gods of the Giant Clan, possessing robust and heroic bodies!

After the Mother Tree roared, the three human-headed monsters below suddenly opened their eyes.

Formidable power emanated from the three bodies.

They were about to break out of the ground and surround, capture, and tie Lu Ming up in front of the Mother Tree to avenge its past humiliation!

However, before they could lift the soil, a golden light suddenly spread down from above.

A golden light flashed and penetrated the minds of the three human-headed monsters. In the next second, the gazes of the three human-headed monsters dimmed, and their life force instantly dissipated.

Like electrical appliances suddenly losing power.

The Mother Tree only felt the connection with the three human-headed monsters being instantly severed.

And in front of it, Lu Ming had already stepped out, exited the Black Mist Zone, and stood in front of the Mother Tree.

He had a teasing smile on his face. “I’m out. I really came out.”

The Mother Tree opened its mouth, but it could not say a single harsh word.

It did not know what method Lu Ming had used to instantly kill three quasi-god-level human-headed monsters.

Nor did it know what trump card Lu Ming held and what kind of power he possessed.

Just seeing the smile on Lu Ming’s face at this moment, the Mother Tree suddenly realized something.

“Are you messing with me?”

It asked in a daze.

Lu Ming’s large hand was already gripping its head.

“Be good and stop messing around.”

“Take me to my teacher. I still have important matters to attend to.”

As he spoke, Lu Ming deliberately approached the Mother Tree, coming extremely close.

The smile on his face disappeared at this moment.

His gaze was calm and deep, but it made the Mother Tree feel an inexplicable chill in its heart.

“Enough playing, enough fooling around, it’s time for us to get down to business.”

“From now on, I don’t want to play any more antics with you.”

“Be good and listen to me.”

“Otherwise… Do you still remember what happened in Nanxiang?”

“I promise you, if I get angry now, it will be even worse than that time..”
