The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 900 - 802: Return of the Ancient Powerhouses!

At that moment, Eliza flew down towards the Demon Race's furnace below. As the flames in the sky engulfed her, the entire Demon Tree suddenly let out a screech, as if knowing this was the last demon person. As long as it absorbs the offerings this last demon gives, the Demon Tree can return to its original state.

"Yang Tian, we must stop Eliza from offering her blood, life, and soul to the Demon Tree!"

Wu Zetian quickly said.

Yang Tian snapped out of the shock from seeing Eliza jump into the fiery pit. He dared not be negligent, so he let his soul emerge and directly entered the Demon Tree.

Meanwhile, Wu Zetian set up a Soul Array outside. Although she was the soul of the Demon Tree, at this moment, she couldn't perceive the situation inside, so she could only set up a Soul Array outside, using her soul to radiate a holy light upon Yang Tian, illuminating his path ahead.

Inside the Demon Tree, Yang Tian communicated with Wu Zetian and quickly sped forward. Within his perceptible range were demonic beings absorbed by the Demon Tree.

These demons numbered over two million, and they were all dead, but their violent nature still gathered a massive amount of resentment within the Demon Tree.

Yet, to the Demon Tree, the accumulated resentment from these demons could cleanse all the marks and memories on the Demon Tree.

In just that moment, Yang Tian clearly felt the Demon Tree was in a vacuum state. He shook his head and said, "The resentment from these demons is too much. Mistress, help me clear this resentment first!"

"Okay!"

Wu Zetian nodded, and she activated the Soul Array, bestowing strong holy light upon Yang Tian.

With this holy light, Yang Tian appeared extraordinarily clear inside the Demon Tree. All around him, the demonic souls and resentment rushed towards Yang Tian, trying to devour him. But this made it convenient for Yang Tian to slaughter and refine them all at once. His speed was swift; the Holy Sword in his hand spun a circle, and a Sword Net was cast out. Everywhere it reached, the demonic souls within the net were trapped, pinned to the ground alive. Yang Tian refined a Divine Talisman and stuck it onto the Sword Net, allowing the fierce flames to burn these demons.

As for the resentment, Yang Tian burned the Divine Talisman, using the Holy Sword to open a live doppelganger.

This doppelganger had neither consciousness nor thought, only the most primitive devouring desire.

Yang Tian took this doppelganger and rushed downward. Wherever they went, the resentment was entirely absorbed by the doppelganger, and each time it absorbed a mass of resentment, it grew double in size.

The demonic souls rushing towards him were all trapped in place by the Sword Net, where the Divine Talisman could scorch them.

However, burning all these demon souls to death in a short time was unrealistic, considering these demons had long been enhanced by the Demon Tree's Magic Breath. But for now, Yang Tian wasn't thinking too much about it; his main focus was still to clear the resentment inside the Demon Tree.

He took the doppelganger and moved from the top of the Demon Tree towards the bottom of the Demon Root.

Along the way, chaos ensued everywhere.

Initially, the demonic souls absorbed by the holy light charged forward recklessly, but gradually, they became fewer, likely scared by Yang Tian's seal.

Next, the journey became much easier.

Yang Tian, with the doppelganger, quickly headed towards the bottom of the Demon Root, the doppelganger absorbing resentment along the way and becoming increasingly massive.

With less resentment inside the Demon Tree, Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense to explore, seeing more clearly. But soon, he furrowed his brow because beneath the Demon Root, he distinctly felt the gathering of demonic souls — there were two million of them, densely packed, very frightening, which made Yang Tian furrow his brow: "Strange, I've sealed at least half of the demonic souls on my way down, how can there still be so many?"

"Yang Tian, something's not right. The demonic souls you sealed have been unleashed again!"

Wu Zetian's voice rang out.

Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense to probe the way he came, furrowing his brow: "That's indeed the case! The demonic souls trapped by the Sword Net have all been released! But who has the ability to do this? Eliza?"

Yang Tian scoffed coldly and headed downward with the doppelganger.

But just then, a soul appeared before Yang Tian. It was none other than Eliza, still possessing an astonishing and unconventional appearance, but her eyes were full of concern: "Yang Tian, don't go down. Let's make a deal. You take me away from here, and I will forgive you for everything you have done to me, never to hold grudges again."

Yang Tian stopped.

He ran his Divine Sense to probe Eliza's body, sensing the unique Spiritual Breath wave on her, confirming that the presence before him was indeed the Vampire Empress Eliza.

But what was Eliza appearing before him intending to do?

"Eliza, though you've died, you still linger as a Yin Soul. What qualification do you have to negotiate with me? It's laughable!"

Yang Tian scoffed coldly and struck with a Heaven-shattering Palm Technique.

But Eliza's soul flickered and dodged swiftly, her face anxious as she said, "Yang Tian, we should leave together. Otherwise, we will all become someone else's meal. The Demon Tree won't be ours; we're merely pawns for others."

"Meal?"

Yang Tian halted; he wasn't foolish. Running his Divine Sense to glance at the bottom of the Demon Root, he continued, "Are you suggesting there's a powerful being gathering demonic souls below? And this being will utilize this opportunity to become the master of the Demon Tree?"

"Exactly, that's right!"

An ancient voice sounded.

Yang Tian was shocked, looking back to see a Tree-man.

This Tree-man was over two meters tall, possessing limbs, and features like eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, although very elderly overall.

"Who exactly are you?"

Yang Tian grasped his Holy Sword.

Wu Zetian's Soul Array also paused; she seriously examined this Tree-man, inexplicably feeling a sense of familiarity.

"I am the soul of the Demon Tree!" The Tree-man spoke, "Of course, now the soul of the Demon Tree is Wu Zetian, and you, Yang Tian, have also become the master of the Demon Tree. But five million years ago, I was the soul of the Demon Tree, and the master was the creator of the Demon Realm, Saint Mo Celestial Master! Saint Mo created the Demon Tree, establishing the Demon Realm, but his ambition was enormous. He wanted to center on the Demon Realm to occupy the entire Milky Way and to refine the Milky Way into an Immortal Artifact to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Five hundred years ago, I exhausted the energy of the Demon Tree. When Saint Mo Celestial Master tried to refine the Milky Way, I sealed him in the root of the Demon Tree, and I went into a long slumber. Thus, Yang Tian and Wu Zetian could become new Demon Tree masters and souls. Within these seven days, Eliza used over two million demons to create a Demon Race furnace, cleansing the Demon Tree of marks and memories, weakening the Dharma Seal on Saint Mo Celestial Master. He's now emerged and is planning to seize the Demon Tree to return to peak status."

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian were both shaken, frozen.

Eliza's face was full of concern: "Yang Tian, now do you believe me? Take me away from here. If we don't leave, we'll all die here."

Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense to probe below the Demon Root. No wonder those demon souls trapped by the Sword Net were all gathered at the Demon Root. Presumably, this ancient strong being is summoning all the demons.

"Leaving isn't feasible. How about this; I'll open the treasure vault Saint Mo Celestial Master accumulated five hundred years ago and let you enter, get some potent Magical Treasures and Cultivation Techniques, and then combat the returning Saint Mo Celestial Master!" The Tree-man said gravely, looking at Yang Tian and Eliza, adding, "But to enter this vault, you must become my Tree-man disciples. Let go of your grievances, apprentice under me, and obtain my Tree Seal!"
