# Chapter 490: Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Tower

Zhang Ruochen set a short-term goal: in the Wood Essence Ruins Realm, he must accumulate military merit points to one million.

On the Heavenly Ranking, there were only eighteen martial artists who had exceeded one million military merit points.

In other words, as long as Zhang Ruochen reached one million military merit points, he could enter the top twenty of the Heavenly Ranking.

Ao Xinyan, Orange Moon Star Envoy, and Xiao Hei rushed over. In the forest, all those century-old tree men had already been killed by them.

Orange Moon Star Envoy maintained a cold and arrogant demeanor, her hands clasped behind her back, and said, "You actually dare to charge into Black Wood Plain. You're simply seeking death. Just wait and see, within three days at most, you'll definitely die here."

"The blood of millennium tree men, known as 'Wood Spirit Red Chan,' is a rare spiritual medicine that can help martial artists cultivate a Wood Spirit Treasure Body. Moreover, after a martial artist consumes 'Wood Spirit Red Chan,' it can also enhance their cultivation."

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Orange Moon Star Envoy, took out a palm-sized jade bottle, and handed it to her, as if ordering a maidservant, saying, "Go collect Wood Spirit Red Chan for me."

"And why should I?"

Orange Moon Star Envoy glared at him and said coldly.

Zhang Ruochen said, "As a captive, you should act like one. If you don't go collect Wood Spirit Red Chan, I can kill you right now, because you're of no use to me."

Seeing Zhang Ruochen's calm expression, Orange Moon Star Envoy felt a hint of fear. In the end, she didn't dare defy Zhang Ruochen's orders.

As long as she could keep her life, there would naturally be an opportunity to escape later.

She took the jade bottle, examined it for a moment, and thought to herself, Such a small bottle will be filled quickly. It's just a trivial matter, not worth angering Zhang Ruochen over. I'll agree to it for now.

But when Orange Moon Star Envoy began collecting the millennium tree man's blood, she was astonished to discover that the palm-sized jade bottle could never be filled.

"This... could this be a space treasure..."

Orange Moon Star Envoy gritted her teeth and continued collecting, wanting to test just how large the bottle's capacity was.

That jade bottle was indeed a space treasure refined by Zhang Ruochen, called the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle. The space inside was very large, enough to hold the water of a large pond.

If Zhang Ruochen's cultivation reached the Fish-Dragon Realm, the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle he refined could even hold an entire lake.

Ao Xinyan was also very shocked, staring at the jade bottle in Orange Moon Star Envoy's hand, somewhat dazed: "Captain, is that really a space treasure?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded, "It's just a low-grade space treasure, called the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle. However, this is only a semi-finished product; the power it unleashes is not yet mature. You can try it. Inject true qi into the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle, and there will be some wonderful changes."

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Ao Xinyan walked over, snatched the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle from Orange Moon Star Envoy's hand, held the jade bottle with both hands, and injected strands of true qi into it.

On the surface of the jade bottle, lines of inscriptions emerged, emitting a white radiance.

The next moment, at the mouth of the jade bottle, a small vortex condensed, forming a suction force. Drops of the millennium tree man's blood flew up, converging into a suspended red stream that flew toward the jade bottle.

"Rustle, rustle!"

In just a moment, the millennium tree man's blood was completely collected into the bottle.

Ao Xinyan withdrew her true qi, and the inscriptions on the jade bottle gradually sank back down.

She gently shook the jade bottle, and a "dong dong" sound came from within, clearly not yet full.

"How impressive! It can even actively suck the millennium tree man's blood into the bottle." Ao Xinyan exclaimed in amazement.

Standing nearby, Orange Moon Star Envoy was also dumbfounded.

Zhang Ruochen took back the jade bottle and said, "It can only be considered a semi-finished product. A true Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle can suck powerful enemies into the bottle, imprison them in the independent space inside, and even refine them within the bottle. Legend has it that during the Middle Ages, Xumi Saint Monk once used a Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle to suck in a Great Saint and nearly refined that Great Saint."

"Captain, where did you get this semi-finished product?" Ao Xinyan stared intently at the jade bottle, her eyes blinking repeatedly, looking very covetous.

Zhang Ruochen just smiled, put away the jade bottle, and didn't answer.

Leaving this forest area, Zhang Ruochen and his group continued to clear out other tree men.

Spending an entire day, Zhang Ruochen killed thirty-six millennium tree men within a thousand-mile radius, including five tree men that had grown for two thousand years, with strength comparable to cultivators at the Fish-Dragon Second Transformation.

By killing these millennium tree men, Zhang Ruochen accumulated a total of eighty-one thousand military merit points, bringing his total to five hundred ninety-five thousand military merit points.

Of course, this was also because he had the Heavenly Eye, which could accurately detect the location of each tree man. If it were other Heavenly Ranking martial artists, they simply couldn't have such a fast killing speed.

Moreover, other Heavenly Ranking martial artists wouldn't know how to avoid danger and seek advantage. Killing tree men on such a large scale would have long exposed their tracks and led to being surrounded by tree men.

Therefore, being able to accumulate over eighty thousand military merit points in a single day was something only Zhang Ruochen could achieve among Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists.

After nightfall, Zhang Ruochen, Ao Xinyan, Orange Moon Star Envoy, and Xiao Hei temporarily rested in a forest with hidden terrain, without continuing to kill.

Xiao Hei set up two formations: a second-rank concealment formation and a fourth-rank defensive formation.

They sat inside the formation. Living beings outside the formation couldn't see the scene inside the formation or hear the sounds within.

Inside the formation, a bonfire was burning.

Xiao Hei used a fourth-rank True Martial Treasure-level bronze spear to hold a barbarian beast's thigh, roasting it over the bonfire. The barbarian beast thigh had already turned golden, emitting a strong meaty aroma.

Then, it poured the millennium tree man's blood over the cooked meat, blending the woody and meaty fragrances together.

Seeing Xiao Hei's skilled roasting technique, even Ao Xinyan was like a greedy cat, gently licking her lips. Orange Moon Star Envoy's gaze was also fixed on the large piece of roasted meat, secretly swallowing saliva.

It had to be said, Xiao Hei's roasted meat was indeed exceptional, quite delicious.

Only Zhang Ruochen remained tense, not daring to relax at all, and said, "The tree men in this area have almost been completely cleared by us. Such a big event will definitely cause a huge shock among the tree man race, and our whereabouts will certainly be exposed. Next, it probably won't be as easy as today. The deeper we go into Black Wood Plain, the more difficult it will become."

"Only by striving to improve our cultivation and becoming stronger can we possibly fight to the end."

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen took out the Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle, drank a mouthful of "Wood Spirit Red Chan," and began to refine it.

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, Ao Xinyan no longer stared at the barbarian beast roasted meat. She took out the Black Water Glazed Crystal and began to refine it as well. She wanted to strive to cultivate the Wood Spirit Treasure Body in a short time and break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Perfection, so that she could truly become Zhang Ruochen's capable assistant.

That piece of roasted meat was finally cooked through. Xiao Hei extended two claws, picked it up, glanced at Orange Moon Star Envoy, and said with a smile, "Want to eat?"

Orange Moon Star Envoy turned her head away, showing a disdainful expression, and snorted coldly.

Xiao Hei chuckled, "Do you know why I insisted on sparing your life in front of Zhang Ruochen?"

"I've already told you my identity, so I won't repeat it. Let me tell you honestly, you have no future in the Black Market. Following Zhang Ruochen and me, your future achievements will definitely surpass your imagination."

"Today, you saw Zhang Ruochen's Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle, right? I'll tell you anyway. He refined it himself. With this skill alone, Di Yi can't compare to him."

Hearing this, Orange Moon Star Envoy's eyes lit up. "Can Zhang Ruochen really control the power of space?"

Xiao Hei nodded, "That's right. His master is not the Buddha Emperor or the Golden Dragon, but Xumi Saint Monk."

Orange Moon Star Envoy didn't care who Zhang Ruochen's master was. She only cared about how much hidden strength Zhang Ruochen had. Once she escaped back, she could report these secrets to Di Yi.

Xiao Hei put down the piece of roasted meat, stood on two paws, and looked like a scheming old fox, saying, "The reason I didn't kill you is because you have a Innate Yin Moon Body. It happens to be one of the five physiques I want to collect. So, you're very lucky."

Orange Moon Star Envoy showed a puzzled expression. Although she felt this cat was very strange, she couldn't help asking, "Five physiques?"

Xiao Hei didn't answer but instead asked, "Have you heard of divine artifacts?"

Orange Moon Star Envoy said, "Of course I've heard of them. But in Kunlun Realm, even Ten-Thousand Pattern Sacred Artifacts are extremely rare, considered top-tier war weapons. As for the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, they only exist in ancient myths and legends. After the Middle Ages, no one has ever seen them."

Xiao Hei said very proudly, "I once obtained a divine artifact, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of Kunlun Realm, the Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Tower."

"However, it requires five perfected physiques to unleash the full power of this divine artifact."

"The five physiques are: True God Body, True Dragon Body, Innate Extreme Yang Body, Innate Extreme Yin Body, and Five Elements Chaos Body. When the five physiques are perfected and combined, they can unleash the full power of that divine artifact, to welcome the great calamity that is about to come. Your Innate Yin Moon Body, when cultivated to perfection, becomes the Innate Extreme Yin Body."

Zhang Ruochen kicked out, hitting Xiao Hei's rear. Xiao Hei lunged forward and crashed into the bonfire with a "bang."

"Can you die if you don't brag?"

Zhang Ruochen couldn't stand it anymore. Xiao Hei was exaggerating too wildly.

If it really had the Divine Dragon Sun Moon Chaos Tower, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, how could it have been sealed inside the Cosmic Divine Wood Map by Xumi Saint Monk back then?

Moreover, it had been sealed for a hundred thousand years. How could it know the current situation of Kunlun Realm? And it even claimed a great calamity was coming. Wasn't that just bragging?

He really couldn't tolerate it. It was too much of a braggart. He had to kick it.

Originally, Orange Moon Star Envoy had seen Xiao Hei speaking so convincingly and had almost believed it.

It wasn't until Zhang Ruochen kicked Xiao Hei away that she suddenly came to her senses. It was just a cat. Only an incredibly foolish person would believe its words.
