Chapter 116 A Bountiful Harvest
"This is········"
The Venerable Ones were all astonished as they gazed at the emerald green willow branches that appeared out of nowhere.
The sudden appearance of the verdant willow branches exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, making them feel an unprecedented pressure, as if they were facing not just a single willow branch, but the will of the entire world.
They had never seen such a mysterious and powerful entity before; the gently swaying willow branches seemed to them as an insurmountable chasm.
"The Willow Goddess!"
However, Shi An and Shi Hao on the other side shouted out almost simultaneously, their eyes sparkling with barely suppressed joy.
Seeing that Shi An and the other man actually recognized the willow branch, one of the Venerable Ones, unwilling to give up, immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you, daring to interfere in our affairs!"
However, if his voice hadn't trembled even slightly, it might have been more intimidating. As for now...
The emerald green willow branches swayed gently, offering no response, but the ancient and profound aura grew even stronger, as if the entire world had fallen silent at that moment.
"Hmph, whoever you are, we're going to take the Kunpeng Technique and the Heavenly Desolate Halberd today!"
Seeing this, another venerable one immediately shouted in a show of bravado but was actually weak, trying to bolster his voice.
"That ignorant fool dares to be so presumptuous in front of Goddess Liu."
Seeing that someone dared to bark and howl in front of Liu Shen, Shi An couldn't help but sneer, his eyes full of disdain.
Upon hearing this, the other Venerable One immediately suppressed his fear and shouted at Shi An, "Even with divine assistance, you won't leave here alive today!"
"Let's join forces and seize the Kunpeng Bone first."
As he spoke, the Venerable One turned and winked at the other Venerable Ones, intending to unite them and forcibly seize the Kunpeng Bone, ignoring the existence of the mysterious willow branch.
However, at that moment, the emerald green willow branches suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and an immense and boundless pressure descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire North Sea, making all the Venerables feel an irresistible pressure.
Under the influence of this force, all the Venerables' movements became sluggish, as if they were bound by invisible shackles, and even breathing became difficult.
"What...what kind of power is this?"
"Impossible! How could such a powerful being exist in this desolate region!"
The venerable ones were terrified. They discovered that their proud cultivation and magical techniques were utterly useless in the face of these verdant willow branches.
The venerable ones and ancestors looked at each other, filled with doubt and surprise. They had never heard of any willow god, but the power displayed by the mysterious and unpredictable green willow branches before them made them feel awe, because it was completely beyond their comprehension.
"Lord Willow God, please calm your anger. We were ignorant and offended your divine power. We beg your forgiveness."
Suddenly, a seemingly wise elder began to beg for mercy, his voice trembling slightly.
Seeing this, the other Venerables followed suit. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to lower their proud heads and beg for forgiveness in the face of absolute power.
Unfortunately, Liu Shen ignored them.
Suddenly, the emerald willow branch trembled, instantly transforming into a streak of emerald light that moved with incredible speed among the Venerables. With each touch, one Venerable was reduced to nothingness.
"No! I don't want to die!"
A venerable one screamed in terror. His figure vanished instantly upon being touched by the emerald light, leaving not a trace, only the echo of his terror reverberating over the North Sea.
"escape!"
The remaining Venerables finally realized that the verdant willow branches before them were far beyond their ability to contend with. The shadow of death loomed over their hearts, and fear drove them to lose their minds. They all wanted to flee this land of death.
"what!"
Terrified screams pierced the sky. Those who were the most powerful and influential in the outside world were now less than ants in front of Liu Shen, their lives fragile and vulnerable.
Emerald light and shadow constantly traversed the sky above the North Sea. Each touch was accompanied by the fall of a venerable being. The entire North Sea was shrouded in a shadow of death, and the air was filled with a heavy stench of blood.
"Lord Willow Goddess, we are willing to surrender!"
After an unknown amount of time, one of the Venerable Ones finally succumbed to his fear and knelt down, pleading for mercy. His voice was filled with despair and pleas, hoping that the Willow God would spare them.
But Liu Shen did not stop her killing spree. The emerald light and shadow continued to ravage the sky above the North Sea, turning every Venerable into nothingness upon its touch.
"No!"
One by one, the Venerable Ones cried out in despair, their figures vanishing instantly upon being touched by the emerald light, their eyes filled with fear and resentment, yet powerless to change their fate.
Shi An and Shi Hao stood side by side, gazing at the scene before them, their hearts filled with overwhelming shock.
Although they already knew of the Willow God's power, witnessing its terrifying might firsthand still filled them with unprecedented awe.
"Thank you, Goddess Liu."
Shi An whispered his gratitude. Although even if Liu Shen hadn't come, he and Shi Hao would most likely not have been in any danger, the sight of her protection at this moment still stirred his heart.
Finally, with the fall of the last Venerable One, the North Sea returned to calm, as if the shadow of death had never existed.
The blood and debris scattered on the ground spoke volumes about the ferocity of the battle that had just taken place.
Only then did Willow Goddess's voice finally come: "Will you two come with me, or go back on your own?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An and Shi Hao exchanged a glance. Then, Shi An looked up at the willow branches in the air and replied, "Willow Goddess, I still have matters to attend to. Let my younger brother return with you!"
After saying that, Shi An turned to Shi Hao and said, "Brother, you should go back with Liu Shen first. I still have some things to take care of."
"Oh, right, these are some resources I obtained on this trip. Remember to take them back and give them to the people."
After saying that, Shi An handed a Qiankun bag to Shi Hao.
"I understand, brother. Be careful!"
Looking at the Qiankun bag in his hand, Shi Hao didn't say anything. He put it away and, under the protection of Liu Shen, his figure gradually became blurry and eventually disappeared from Shi An's sight.
"Alright, it's time to clean up the battlefield."
As Shi Hao disappeared, Shi An's lips curled into a slight smile, then he looked towards the remains of the group of Venerables who had just been killed by Liu Shen...
No, it shouldn't be called remains, since their bodies had long since turned into nothingness.
heritage······
Yes, heritage!
Shi An moved swiftly, appearing in front of the legacy of a Venerable One in the next instant, then the second, the third...
The precious treasures left behind by the Venerable Ones are scattered across the North Sea, each piece shimmering with extraordinary light and containing astonishing power.
Although their owner has vanished, these relics still radiate residual energy fluctuations, seemingly telling the story of their former glory.
Shi An's eyes were sharp as he moved among the relics, his hands picking them up quickly and precisely.
Some of the relics are ancient scrolls of magical techniques, engraved with secret methods that have long been lost.
Some of them are precious materials for refining weapons, which are rarely seen even in the outside world.
Even more remarkable were several magical treasures radiating a faint spiritual light, clearly personal items of the Venerable Ones, possessing extraordinary power.
