Duan Gujin suddenly noticed a faint energy fluctuation in front of the Nine-star Divine Tree. Extending his Divine Sense, he began to explore the energy fluctuation before the tree.

After a while, he sucked in a breath of cold air, as he had just realized there was a huge Array in front of the Nine-star Divine Tree.

"It seems that someone has set up an Array here to prevent others from entering and harvesting the Immortal Origin Fruit!"

He circled around the magic Array in front of him and after a while, he burst out laughing.

"It seems the person who set up this Array doesn't know much about them. This Array can actually be easily broken, no wonder those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons could detect my presence even when I'm more than a hundred meters away!"

He had previously inspected the Array and discovered that it was a Composite Array.

The outermost layer of the Array was a Defensive Magic Array, and within that, there was a layer designed to reinforce various types of sensing.

Clearly, the outermost Array was meant to defend against enemies breaking in, while the second layer was to let the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons inside sense the presence of an enemy.

Duan Gujin had just checked the Composite Array and found it to be simple and crude, very easy to break through.

In a flash, his body turned into a streak of light and he dashed into it.

Moments later, he arrived within thirty meters of the Nine-star Divine Tree.

At that point, he had already concealed any trace of his Life Aura and moved very lightly.

Therefore, those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons ahead did not notice his approach.

As Duan Gujin moved forward, he suddenly sensed a powerful Killing Aura emerging abruptly from the Void ahead.

Following that, a black shadow burst out from inside a rock in front of him.

A white light as swift as Lightning lunged straight towards Duan Gujin's body.

The moment the shadow erupted with Killing Aura, Duan Gujin had already sensed its presence and was ready for battle.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The next moment, countless gigantic palms formed from Primordial Energy pounced on the shadow.

Countless powerful energies collided, creating a series of violent explosions.

Despite colliding with the numerous mighty palms unleashed by Duan Gujin, the shadow kept advancing without dodging or retreating, as if it was incapable of feeling pain.

"It turns out to be a controlled Puppet!"

Duan Gujin quickly saw that the shadow was a Human Warrior's skeleton, which showed signs of putrefaction, and it was engraved with various runes.

The skeleton emitted a foul odor, making Duan Gujin keep his distance, not wanting to be overwhelmed by the stench.

Under the continuous bombardment of Duan Gujin's Void Palms, the skeleton was left battered and its limbs shattered, yet its skull still emitted a startling Killing Aura towards Duan Gujin.

"Rest in peace!"

Duan Gujin took in a deep breath, and with a wave of his right hand, a ball of Soul Fire appeared in his palm.

The next moment, he shot that ball of Soul Fire towards the skeleton ahead.

Once the skeleton caught fire, it began to burn fiercely.

The skeleton was covered in various flammable potions, which ignited instantly upon contact with the fire.

Thus, the skeleton turned to ashes in less than 15 minutes.

Duan Gujin took another deep breath and extended his Divine Sense to check his surroundings.

After a short while, he discovered that there were more than ten similar skeletons nearby.

Although these skeletons belonged to Human Warriors or Demon Beasts of the Martial Emperor Realm in life, because they had lost their Divine Wisdom and Body, their Combat Power was greatly reduced.

Duan Gujin deduced that these skeletons could only display less than one percent of their original Combat Power. It was easy to imagine how weak these skeletons were in fight.

He continued to move forward, and one by one, those skeletons appeared and tried to stop him.

But Duan Gujin's strength was much greater than that of those skeletons, and he easily eliminated them.

After eradicating those skeletons, he was now less than twenty meters away from the Nine-star Divine Tree.

The closer he got to the Nine-star Divine Tree, the more cautious he became.

"It turns out that besides those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons, some other people have noticed this place!"

Duan Gujin couldn't be sure whether the person who set up the Array would come to this place, so he knew he had to secure the Immortal Origin Fruit quickly to avoid any accidents.

This time, Duan Gujin got a clear view of the nine Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons ahead.

"It turns out their strength ranges between the Fifth Level and Eighth Level of Martial Emperor!"

His eyes flickered; he knew he couldn't afford to be reckless.

After all, the strength of each of these Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons was greater than his, and there were many of them.

Now, what he felt most fortunate about was that the Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons had low Divine Wisdom. Although they had sensed his presence, he had used every means to hide himself thoroughly.

So, he determined that those Two-Colored Yellow-Headed Pythons had only sensed the minor vibrations he caused on the ground.

But they probably hadn't yet noticed where exactly he was hiding.

Duan Gujin cautiously took steps forward and upon seeing stones on the ground, he immediately picked them up one by one and placed them in his storage ring.

He had already thought of a plan, and soon, he would throw those stones at the two-colored yellow-headed pythons to attract their attention.

Afterward, he would lure the two-colored yellow-headed pythons away from the Nine-star Divine Tree. Once they were lured away from the tree, it would be time for him to make a comeback attack and pluck the Immortal Origin Fruit from the tree.

Next, he needed to use the stones to attract the attention of the two-colored yellow-headed pythons as much as possible.

Then, he took a deep breath and started throwing the dozens of stones laid out in front of him at the two-colored yellow-headed pythons one by one.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The stones made a whistling sound as they swiftly flew toward the two-colored yellow-headed pythons.

Bang bang bang!

The next moment, the bodies of the two-colored yellow-headed pythons were hit by the stones thrown by Duan Gujin.

Powered by Primordial Power, the stones were extremely hard.

But despite the stones being hardened by the Primordial Power, the scale armor of the two-colored yellow-headed pythons was even tougher.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The next instant, all the two-colored yellow-headed pythons were enraged. They had been resting peacefully before, but now they were bombarded with stones.

Knowing they were being harassed, the pythons' eyes widened, they emitted warning sounds, and they observed their surroundings intently, trying to find the person harassing them.

It didn't take long before they discovered that the person disturbing them was hiding behind a large boulder. With a teeth-grating hiss, four two-colored yellow-headed pythons dashed wildly towards that boulder.

Seeing that he had only managed to lure four of the pythons, Duan Gujin felt unsatisfied. He immediately showed himself beside the boulder and continuously threw large rocks at those still on the Nine-star Divine Tree, aiming to further infuriate them.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The following development pleasantly surprised Duan Gujin. He saw the remaining five two-colored yellow-headed pythons charging towards him as fast as lightning.

"Perfect!"

He fled backwards at high speed, and although the two-colored yellow-headed pythons were extremely fast, they couldn't catch up with Duan Gujin.

Five breaths later, Duan Gujin saw that the two-colored yellow-headed pythons had left the Nine-star Divine Tree by a distance of twenty meters. Overjoyed, he knew it was the best opportunity for him to make his move.

Thus, his body flickered, turning into a streak of light as he rushed towards the Nine-star Divine Tree.

Seeing that he was getting closer to the tree, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt elated.

However, just when he was less than five meters from the Nine-star Divine Tree, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura emerging from beneath the ground. A black light surged from the ground and shot into the sky above the tree.

"Something's wrong!"

His face changed dramatically, and feeling alarmed, he immediately stopped advancing to check the situation ahead.

Almost simultaneously with his halt, the black light in the sky transformed into a huge black cauldron that descended, seemingly aiming to cover the entire Nine-star Divine Tree below.

With a loud bang, the black cauldron smashed onto the ground and completely enveloped the Nine-star Divine Tree.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin suddenly gasped in shock, his expression greatly changing.

"Who on earth set up so many arrays here to prevent others from stealing the Immortal Origin Fruit?"

Without overthinking, Duan Gujin knew that his next step was to shatter the black cauldron.

However, before he could act against the cauldron, the two-colored yellow-headed pythons below launched a fierce attack on him.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The pythons, swift as lightning, pounced straight at him.

Duan Gujin had intended to exert all his power to destroy the black cauldron ahead, but the two-colored yellow-headed pythons had all attacked him.

Sensing the potent Killing Aura released by the pythons, his brows furrowed tightly, and he quickly realized that his strength was far inferior to that of the pythons; he was no match for them.

Having no choice, he had to dodge the attack of the two-colored yellow-headed pythons first.

He activated his Primordial Power and employed the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps. His body turned into a streak of light, and after taking nine steps forward, he dove into a spatial rift.

Feeling their prey suddenly vanish, the two-colored yellow-headed pythons hissed a few times. Despite extending their Divine Sense, they still couldn't locate Duan Gujin's whereabouts.

With no other option, they could only circle around the vicinity.

Having passed through the spatial rift, Duan Gujin took a deep breath. After releasing his Divine Sense and ensuring that there were no immediate dangers around, he finally drank a drop of the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.

"Who would have thought, the area before the Nine-star Divine Tree is full of traps. In the final moment, I still fell for it!"

Recalling what had just happened, he was still in shock. He had thought he could obtain the Immortal Origin Fruit, but unexpectedly, a black cauldron flew up from the ground at the crucial moment, ultimately covering the entire tree.

"It seems that the black cauldron must be the final mechanism set by the one who arranged the array!"

He sat cross-legged, recuperating and recovering his Primordial Power.

An hour later, his strength was back to its Peak State.

Without any hesitation, he returned to the vicinity of the Nine-star Divine Tree.

By this time, he saw that the black cauldron was still covering the Nine-star Divine Tree, and the two-colored yellow-headed pythons were still coiled outside.

"If only someone could help me lure away those two-colored yellow-headed pythons in front, how great that would be!"

A moment later, he cast this thought aside.
