Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628 – Willow Deity Appears!

Even while at the critical moment of life and death, Shi Hao was still greatly shaken, extremely shocked . He quickly rushing forward, screaming, “Willow Deity!”

Honglong!

In the rear, the lightning was like a sea, surging, roaring, covering everything, completely submerging this small path, battering down .

They ran crazily for their lives!

“Who is Willow Deity?” Sanzang was confused while fleeing . He also saw that golden willow tree, leaving him shaken . He didn’t know why Huang recognized the ancient tree here .

In his opinion, this tree should be produced by lightning, there shouldn’t be any living things here .

Could this be a real tree, not something formed from lightning? This left Sanzang stunned!

“Huang brat, what kind of nonsense are you spouting! Watch where you are going, you’re standing in this old one’s way!” Shenming shouted, her words extremely forceful . Her figure was tall and slender, a pair of long legs moving quickly .

Even though they were battered by lightning tribulation, Shi Hao and Sanzang both becoming pitch-black like ink, hacked miserably, Shenming’s body didn’t darken, because just now, she produced a set of precious clothes, blocking the lightning tribulation .

These clothes were like light muslin, extremely thin, but they were extremely sturdy, protecting her exterior, preventing her body from being damaged . Her curves could vaguely be seen, extremely alluring .

“There’s no mistake, this isn’t lightning, it is definitely Willow Deity! I wouldn’t mistake this aura!” Shi Hao muttered . Then, he ran in that direction .

In reality, he felt a bit of helplessness inside as well . Would he be able to see Willow Deity here? It is likely truly formed from lightning, but its past imprints were left behind here .

He knew that the greater his hope, the greater the disappointment!

Yet today, he still couldn’t resist the emotional waves surging within him . He screamed out, roaring, praying that this was Willow Deity .

The lightning radiance was terrifying, sweeping over from the back, sending all three of them flying, immediately splitting the sky . They coughed out large mouthfuls of blood, bodies in intense pain, smashing into that Thunder Mountain .

This mountain was extremely massive, and also majestic . It was as if a black lion was resting here, carrying a viciousness, just that it was already restrained .

When they smashed into the mountain, a kacha noise erupted!

This was lightning, streak after streak, blasting through their bodies . Blood scattered everywhere . This Thunder Mountain was too terrifying, the consequences severe even if it was just touched .

This type of power was just too boundless!

This was even when it was the three of them we were talking about . If it were others of the same level, they would have definitely been blown to ashes, not even bones and dregs left behind .

“Willow Deity!”

After Shi Hao was struck by the lightning radiance, he quickly got up, rushing forward . He was still going towards that tree . Was it formed from lightning or not?

Why was that familiar aura he was feeling so real?

“Yi?”

That was… a tree, a true living being?

Sanzang was shocked . It was because he also felt that things were a bit strange . That tree seemed to have life fluctuations, not like something normally formed from lightning .

The golden ancient tree was tall and straight, incredibly vigorous, full of tree leaves . It released golden radiance, the tree upright and strong, trunk thick and solid, as if it was going to support the sky dome itself .

They felt that the area near the tree was a bit strange . The lightning here was unstable, sometimes suddenly strong and sometimes suddenly weak .

The tree had essence energy, it could be sensed!

“Willow Deity!” Shi Hao cried out . However, there was no reaction, no reply, even though he was that close .

“Be careful, this place is extremely dangerous!” Shenming shouted .

When they got close to Willow Deity, there was a path that released lightning radiance . It was incredibly terrifying . Moreover, at this time, the sea of lightning arrived, about to crash down .

This was terrifying lightning that clearly exceeded what their bodies could endure, too dangerous .

Hong!

The path ahead suddenly erupted, releasing endless lightning radiance . The sea of lightning in the back all surged, all of it striking over, blasting their bodies .

In that instant, the three of them were injured again, coughing out large mouthfuls of blood .

This place was extremely dangerous, leaving them in extremely sorry states .

Pu!

However, the attack this time also brought them forward, arriving under the tree . When they raised their heads, the golden ancient tree was too resplendent .

“This is…” Shenming gently touched the tree . It was real, not made of lightning! This left her shocked .

“Huang brat, how did you recognize it? Have you seen it before?” Shenming suddenly looked towards Shi Hao, because for a willow tree to take root here, it was definitely not simple, moreover a golden tree .

“Willow Deity, what happened to you?” Shi Hao asked, his voice even shaking a bit, panicking out of concern .

The ancient tree didn’t move at all, just rooted here .

“It is a bit strange . This giant tree’s life essence energy isn’t as great as I thought, only a bit left!” Sanzang said .

Shi Hao was alarmed . He carefully looked at the tree . What exactly happened to Willow Deity?

He quickly walked around the tree, because this tree was too large and thick, couldn’t be wrapped around with arms even if there were many people who linked arms .

“This is… it’s seriously injured!” Shi Hao saw that on the other side of the tree, there were several parts of the tree trunk that were empty, only a layer of old bark left, the inside vacant .

He couldn’t see this from the other side, but in reality, the tree trunk was already empty . However, there were still quite a few branches, falling like divine chains .

“Is it dead?” Shenming was shocked .

“This is a tree body that was left behind who knew how many tens of thousands of years ago, its primordial spirit long gone!” Sanzang came to this type of conclusion .

When Shi Hao heard this, he was speechless . Then, he released a light sigh .

It was because he knew the Willow Deity’s identity, that it was an ancestral guardian spirit in the ancient times, its power great, but its fate was also full of trouble and misfortune, undergoing many disasters .

It had previously severed its roots, turning into a seed, giving up all of its cultivation to start over from the beginning!

In short, Willow Deity’s experiences were complex, only leaving behind a bit of its ruined body in the various lands .

Shi Hao sighed . Where were the Willow Deity and little pagoda now? They had already been separated for many years!

“Yi, look, the lightning isn’t coming over, forced back by this tree!” Sanzang was shocked .

This place was extremely safe . There was no great lightning tribulation under the tree, only auspicious light . Even though the entire tree was dry and withered, not having much life essence energy, it could still protect this place .

Willow Deity’s remains, was this its previous mortal envelope?

Shi Hao was disappointed and frustrated . He didn’t meet the real Willow Deity, this wasn’t it .

“However, the aura is similar . Was its aura in the endless past the same as now?” Shi Hao said to himself .

Suddenly, Shi Hao widened his eyes, becoming extremely shocked . He discovered a trace of green multicolored light inside the core of the tree trunk . He quickly entered the already hollow tree trunk, raising his head .

There was a willow branch there, tender and emerald green, sparkling and replete with moisture . It was completely different from those golden branches .

“Willow Deity’s aura, it is so rich!” Shi Hao was shocked .

They were so close . That wave of aura immediately became many times richer, as if Willow Deity was right by his side .

His mind was jumping greatly, feeling more and more like this place was strange, not as simple as just shed mortal remains . Perhaps it… really was Willow Deity!

“The willow leaves are shining!” Shenming cried out in alarm .

The sparkling green leaves shone, every single leaf like a green small sun, as if they were burning, every leaf producing a character .

Moreover, the leaves began to vibrate!

“If you are able to come here, the leaves will blossom . ”

“A trail of footsteps, a path flickering indefinitely . ”

When it was all pieced together, there were only these two lines of characters .

“Willow Deity!”

Shi Hao cried out, but there were no replies anymore . Only those willow branches released brilliant light, every single leaf like a green small sun, producing those characters .

“These are the imprints left behind by a great divine ability . It has long left, cannot converse anymore . ” Sanzang said .

“Willow Deity passed through this place, it left this for me!” Shi Hao was moved . He clenched his fists . Was Willow Deity guiding him?

Shenming was envious when she saw the green branches, wishing to retort, but right at this time, that branch released a honglong noise, becoming even more dazzling, green multicolored light overflowing into the heavens .

Then, the entire golden ancient tree wilted, turning into ashes, all of the golden light entering the green branch, infusing streak after streak of golden light into it!

Then, this branch fell into Shi Hao’s hands on its own .

Moreover, Thunder Mountain collapsed, silently melting into electrical radiance, thus scattering . The world before them was completely open, no obstacles standing in their path anymore .

Only, the world ahead was extremely special, already separated from the Lightning Abyss region, extremely peaceful like the end of the world, but also like the depths of the desert .

On the sand were some vague footprints that released weak light, flickering about continuously .

“A trail of footsteps, a path flickering indefinitely?!” Shi Hao trembled . He recalled the words on the willow leaves . Did it refer to the path before his eyes?

Willow Deity, are you just up ahead?!

Shi Hao screamed inwardly . They had been separated for so many years, yet today, he finally saw its traces, seeing clues it left behind .

Was it guiding him, wishing for him to follow those footsteps?

There was also the little pagoda . Ever since they separated, he never saw it again . It was a supreme treasure, what if it was able to fully repair its body? Was it still together with Willow Deity?
