Chapter 1848: Wood Origin Heart

Mu Yuqing’s sword strikes were swift and fierce, each move embodying the devouring Life Law.

If one were wounded by Mu Yuqing’s Sword Radiance, their vitality would continue to drain until all life force was completely depleted.

All of Mu Yuqing’s sword techniques were extremely peculiar and cunning.

However, it was evident that the young man before her was no pushover.

Countering each move with ease, Mu Yuqing’s every strike was effortlessly blocked by him.

"Clang!"

Finally, the young man unleashed a thunderous strike, forcing Mu Yuqing back thirty zhang, sword and all.

"Mu Yuqing, it’s about time to stop, don’t you think? We’ve already fought over ten times, and each time ended in a draw. Although we’re unable to use our cultivation here, our law levels are equivalent, so you can’t hurt me," the young man said with a light smile.

Facing Mu Yuqing, he showed no sign of panic.

Mu Yuqing furrowed her brows, eyes sharp as daggers.

Though reluctant to admit it, she knew Liu Yu was speaking the truth.

She truly couldn’t best him.

"Liu Yu, what exactly are you after?" Mu Yuqing asked coldly.

The latter chuckled lightly, "What I intend to do, you should already know."

"Impossible, I will never give you the Wood Origin Heart, it is the Treasure of my Mu Family," Mu Yuqing resolutely refused.

Wood Origin Heart?

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

So this was Mu Yuqing’s true motive for luring him here.

The so-called Wood Origin Heart was something Xu Nian had learned a little about.

Even in the Divine World, this Wood Origin Heart was considered an extremely precious artifact.

It is said that this treasure can be absorbed by the human body, enhancing one’s cultivation, soul power, and physical strength.

Furthermore, it grants an individual the potential to ascend to the Daluo God Level.

One must understand that each realm within the Divine-level has an enormous chasm that many cannot cross.

From Divine-level to God, many spend their lives unable to overcome it.

And the transition from God to Daluo God is even more so.

But the Wood Origin Heart has the power to change this.

It is said that the Wood Origin Heart can enhance a person’s potential to breakthrough to the Daluo God Level.

Hence, many Divine-level experts, including Gods, are desperate to obtain the Wood Origin Heart.

This Wood Origin Heart, reportedly produced by an Ancient Divine Tree known as Chaos Divine Willow, blooms every fifty million years and bears one fruit every fifty million years.

The fruit is the Wood Origin Heart.

This means acquiring one Wood Origin Heart requires a waiting period of a hundred million years.

Just how precious is this Wood Origin Heart?

Moreover, back in Ancient Times, the Chaos Divine Willow vanished, and since then, the Wood Origin Heart has become legendary.

Unexpectedly, there is a Wood Origin Heart here?

But why would Mu Yuqing seek him out to acquire the Wood Origin Heart?

And since Liu Yu has been here a while, why hasn’t he already obtained the Wood Origin Heart?

There must be some hidden secrets unknown to him.

"That’s out of question, Mu Yuqing, you should understand, relying solely on yourself, it’s impossible to obtain the Wood Origin Heart. I’ve heard your Mu Family once possessed two Wood Origin Hearts. Are you trying to keep them for yourself?" Liu Yu coldly laughed.

"Don’t push it, both Wood Origin Hearts belong to my Mu Family," Mu Yuqing retorted coldly.

"So there really are two Wood Origin Hearts. Mu Yuqing, as long as you promise to give me one Wood Origin Heart, I will help you bypass your family’s Great Formation." Liu Yu’s eyes sparkled.

He was determined to obtain the Wood Origin Heart.

If he acquires the Wood Origin Heart, he might have a chance to become a Daluo God in the future.

In the Netherworld, few talents can confidently claim they can reach the Daluo God Realm.

Faced with such an opportunity, how could Liu Yu let it go?

"How will you help me bypass the Great Formation?" Mu Yuqing initially wanted to refuse but hesitated and asked.

"That’s none of your concern. Overall, I must be more useful than him, right?" Liu Yu sneered.

Xu Nian furrowed his brows.

It was evident Liu Yu was referring to him.

Ignoring Liu Yu’s words, Mu Yuqing turned to Xu Nian and said, "Xu Fenn, you heard the conversation earlier. Beyond this gorge is the site where my Mu Family ancestors once passed away. As for the killing intent you sensed, it’s the terrifying Great Formation laid by my Mu Family ancestors. I lured you here because I wanted you to assist me in breaking through the formation."

"Why choose me?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

He had mostly guessed it by now, but he was confused as to why Mu Yuqing chose him, someone not even at Divine-level.

"Intuition. I feel a familiar sensation with you, a mysterious aura. I can’t pinpoint why, but I sense you could help me overcome the Great Formation," Mu Yuqing replied.

Xu Nian said nothing and continued listening to Mu Yuqing.

"I understand you might doubt my intentions for luring you here, but I assure you I have no intention of harming you. Whether you choose to stay or leave now, I will respect your decision," Mu Yuqing said.

"Kid, I think you should leave. This Great Formation has claimed the lives of many Divine-level experts. You’re not even at Divine-level yet, entering such a formation is suicide," Liu Yu chuckled softly.

Xu Nian chuckled lightly.

Previously, he did consider leaving, but now he plans to stay.

Besides anything else, he too is tempted by the Wood Origin Heart.

If Liu Yu could compete for the Wood Origin Heart, why couldn’t he?

"Fine, I agree to team up with you to break the formation, but I’ll also vie for the Wood Origin Heart," Xu Nian said.

"Kid, you’re courting death! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you now! You think you’re worthy of competing for the Wood Origin Heart?" Liu Yu became furious, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

However, Mu Yuqing stood protectively before Xu Nian and shouted coldly, "Liu Yu, don’t go overboard. Since you have the right to compete, why shouldn’t he?"

Liu Yu’s gaze turned cold. Seeing Mu Yuqing protect Xu Nian so fiercely, his eyes gleamed with even more murderous intent.

But he quickly restrained it and said, "Fine, since he seeks death, I shall grant him that wish. But should he perish in the formation, there would be no point in regretting it."

Xu Nian laughed lightly, paying no mind.

Mu Yuqing then turned to Xu Nian and said, "Thank you for agreeing to help me break the formation. If you truly obtain the Wood Origin Heart in the end, I assure you, I, Mu Yuqing, will never trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded.

Mu Yuqing’s eyes showed sincere honesty.

If this was all deceit, then the woman before him was quite the con artist.

"What kind of formation is this?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"You’ll find out soon. In any case, the Great Formation is terrifying. It once claimed the life of a God," Mu Yuqing replied.

Xu Nian was visibly surprised.

A God died in the formation?

This Great Formation seems truly terrifying.
