Why do I seem to have taken the protagonist's script as a villain?

"Master, is that...the 'Reincarnation Tree' you mentioned before?"

At this time, deep in the secret realm of Youtu

The Qingming Ghost King stared blankly ahead and shouted softly. The scene in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes.

What caught his eye was a tree, a towering tree standing in the sea of ​​clouds.

The tree grew extremely tall, far taller than he had ever seen.

The thick tree trunk stands like Optimus Prime in the dark sea of ​​clouds, rising straight into the sky.

The huge tree crown blocks out the sky and the sun, seeming to envelop the entire world below.

Even with my own perception of the Ruins Realm, I couldn't guess the height of this tree for a while.

And for some reason, the branches and leaves on it actually present two completely different atmospheres at the same time.

One is a dark, dark gray color.

The other is lavender, which represents vitality.

Life and death, two obviously conflicting atmospheres, now reflected each other on this tree, drifting in the wind, looking inexplicably harmonious.

It stood so quietly in the bottomless dark void, as if it had existed there since ancient times, looking down at all the living beings under its feet...

Qingming Ghost King has never seen such a scene.

........

After a while, the remaining ghost kings came back to their senses, with unconcealable joy on their faces.

"There is such a strong aura of death here. This is definitely the biggest opportunity I've been waiting for on this trip!"

"I have been in this realm for a long time, and it seems that I finally have a chance to break through this time~"

"The legendary reincarnation tree where the energy of life and death meet? I don't know how it tastes, burp~"

"..."

In the empty void, the unscrupulous discussions of several ghost kings resounded across the sky.

"To shut up!"

Qingming Ghost King, who had just recovered from the shock, listened to the conversation behind him, and his face suddenly became extremely cold.

Of course, if he says that he has no idea about the 'Reincarnation Tree', that is impossible!

He had a hunch that with the life and death energy of this tree, he could break through to the Mahayana stage!

Or...it's not impossible to go one step further and become a ghost fairy!

But...he himself is still somewhat self-aware.

This place is located in the deepest part of the secret realm of Youtu, which can be said to be very dangerous.

If it weren't for Palace Master Luo Qingyue to open the way, they wouldn't even be able to cross those dangerous places to get here.

So although he was a little moved about the 'Reincarnation Tree', he still understood the truth.

Don't reach out blindly for things you shouldn't take!

Those are the valuable experiences left to him by those old-timers...

Thinking of this, Qingming Ghost King couldn't help but turn his head to look at Luo Qingyue, who was standing aside. Seeing that the other person's expression had not changed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued to ask: "Master, we were a little reckless just now. Why did you bring us here this time?"

...

Listening to Qingming Ghost King's inquiry, Luo Qingyue raised her hand to smooth away the loose hair on her forehead, her eyes still calmly looking at the sea of ​​clouds below, her teeth slightly opened:

"Come....."

"Killing God."

Luo Qingyue's voice was still cold, and her tone had no fluctuations, as if she was saying something very casual.

But Qingming Ghost King still clearly felt the coldness in it.

"Killing God?"

"Master... what did you just say you were going to do...?"

"Master of the Palace, are you kidding me, hiccup..."

Before Qingming Ghost King could react, several ghost kings who had been silent for a long time couldn't help but ask. Their red ghost eyes were filled with deep fear and doubt.

"God" naturally does not refer to the so-called gods.

It is the name given to those powerful creatures in the underworld who are innately capable of mastering the rules.

Those most powerful creatures have the same origin as Hades. When they are born, they not only control part of the rules and authority of the world, but also have an almost unlimited lifespan.

In the era when "gods" existed, even ghost cultivators who were as strong as them in the Ruins Realm could become their blood prey if they were not careful!

It was the darkest period for the creatures of Hades.

But one day later, for some unknown reason, all those "gods" suddenly disappeared.

No one knows exactly what happened that day, and no one knows where the "gods" went.

In the history after Hades, there are very few records about the word "god", and it is only mentioned occasionally on a few occasions.

Even so, the fear of "gods" has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of these creatures in the underworld.

But what did they just hear?

The master of the palace said...killing gods?

What a joke!

To be honest, they wish they could turn around and run away right now. Although the "Qi of Life and Death" is good, they still have to have a chance to enjoy it!

"It's coming."

Ignoring the small thoughts of the ghost kings, Luo Qingyue opened her eyes indifferently, with a little cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of subtle sounds suddenly sounded from the sea of ​​clouds below. Although the sounds were very subtle, they seemed particularly clear in this silent environment.

At this time, except for Luo Qingyue who still did not make the next move, all the ghost kings had already summoned their own ghost weapons to protect themselves.

All of a sudden, ghost weapons that looked like swords, spears, swords and axes came out, and the powerful pressure instantly shook the surrounding sea of ​​clouds.

Qingming Ghost King was no exception. His body trembled, and a wisp of green light surged out of his body, quickly condensing into a green long bow in front of him.

Then he held the long bow and pointed it in the direction of the sound and pulled it sharply. The next second, a series of breaking wind sounds sounded, green light shone, and several sharp arrows shot into the void instantly.

"call out!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

.......

嘎

The sound below suddenly stopped.

"Qing Ming, have you killed it? Hiccup~"

After a few seconds, the fat man holding a huge bloody boning knife suddenly burped, turned to look at Qingming Ghost King and licked his lips.

He is also one of the top ten ghost kings, named Gluttony, and his strength is second only to the Qingming Ghost King among the top ten ghost kings.

But compared to other ghost kings, he looked very embarrassed, with his face covered in blood and his eyes red.

The black robe on his body was already in pieces, and he could vaguely see a huge wound on his abdomen that was opened by some kind of sharp weapon under the black robe.

Blood gurgled out along the huge crack.

But he didn't seem to care at all, just eating the "meat" of some kind of creature in his hand.

"No, you should be careful with Gluttony, that thing is extraordinary and its strength is extremely terrifying.

Even if you have immortality, don't rely on it. "Qingming Ghost King put away his long bow and replied with a somewhat ugly expression.

Qingming Ghost King feels a little bad now.

Although he was testing those few arrows just now, even so, they should never be able to stir up even a single ripple!

He was confident that he had indeed hit the opponent just now. The only explanation was that the strength of the thing below was definitely far stronger than him!

"Qing Ming..."

Seeing his boss showing such a solemn expression for the first time, Gluttony wanted to say something, but a strange sound sounded again.

The faces of the ghost kings also froze, and then a cold breath quickly rose from below, making them unable to help but become nervous.

The next moment, a huge snake head hundreds of feet high slowly poked out from the sea of ​​clouds, and suddenly appeared in front of them!
