After a while, Emperor Tianyun carried the rag doll-like Emperor Hengyun back to the main peak of the Clear Void Holy Land and met up with the people of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty.
The expressions of the Lu family drastically changed when they saw the sorry state of Emperor Hengyun.
Emperor Tianyun’s 19th son, Lu Hongcheng, hurriedly rushed forward. He looked at Emperor Hengyun and asked worriedly, “Father, is Hengyun alright?”
They had just heard that Emperor Hengyun had been sent flying by a single punch from Li Yu.
At the moment, they had a bad feeling when they looked at the state of Emperor Hengyun.
“He’s not dead yet, but he’s severely injured!” Emperor Tianyun’s expression was grim. The lightning bolts that struck down above his head seemed to strike at the bottom of his raging heart.
He wished for nothing more than to kill that kid, Li Yu.
Although Li Yu’s punch did not kill Emperor Hengyun, it had almost turned him into a vegetable.
More than half of his bones were broken, and his meridians were severely injured.
He should be able to recover a little from his injuries with the help of a rebirth pill, but he would not be able to recover to his normal strength for the time being.
“Father. Should we still bring Hengyun into the Lingtian Mystic Realm?” asked Lu Hongcheng.
Emperor Tianyun looked at the spatial passageway in the distance and pondered for a short while. “Bring him in. He can’t miss such a good opportunity. I’ll think of a way to treat Hengyun’s injuries after entering the Lingtian Mystic Realm!”
“The few of you carry Hengyun and follow me!” Emperor Tianyun handed Hengyun to the Lu family members beside him before flying towards the spatial vortex together.
Lu Hongcheng and the others quickly followed.
After those from the Clear Void Holy Land were teleported away, it should have been the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s turn. However, it was temporarily delayed as they were waiting for Emperor Tianyun.
Therefore, they exchanged greetings with the Clear Void Holy Land elders and wasted no time flying into the teleportation array.
A dazzling seven-colored light instantly enveloped everyone from the Heavenly Fate Dynasty. All was quiet as the world turned around. They were like fallen leaves fluttering in the wind as they flew uncontrollably to an unknown place.
Suddenly, space fluctuated violently. Everyone was like fallen leaves in a gale that flew around uncontrollably.
Emperor Tianyun’s expression became awful.
It was a common occurrence when one entered the Lingtian Mystic Realm. However, this was also an extremely dangerous situation.
The space in the Lingtian Mystic Realm was especially strange. One might encounter a spatial storm or spatial fluctuation during the teleportation process.
People teleported together might be scattered and appear in a place thousands of kilometers away from each other. Some might even get trapped in a spatial storm and disappear.
After a moment, the seven-colored light disappeared again. Everyone quickly stabilized themselves with magic power.
They landed in a forest filled with miasma and strange trees.
The entire forest was lifeless. There were some strange and tall dead trees as far as the eye could see.
The crooked tree trunk was like ferocious ghost faces. Its bare branches bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they stretched into the air. They were like withered ghost claws about to tear apart the misty sky.
It looked a little spine-chilling.
Emperor Tianyun first surveyed his surroundings before looking at everyone on his side.
Lu Hongcheng and Hengyun were not here. They must have been teleported elsewhere.
However, Emperor Tianyun was not worried. They had jade tokens with communication capabilities, so it was not difficult for them to reunite.
Right at this moment, Emperor Hengyun’’s muffled voice sounded from nearby. “Grandfather, Grandfather, I’m here. I can’t move!”
Emperor Tianyun looked over and immediately felt uneasy.
More than half of Emperor Hengyun’s body had fused with a crooked tree.
He only had two feet and one hand showing, with less than half of his face exposed.
“This…”
The comers of Emperor Tianyun’s mouth twitched as if he was having a seizure.
Everyone here knew what it meant to fuse with an object during spatial transference.
It was impossible to separate the two with external forces unless Emperor Hengyun’s cells were separated and recombined.
I’m finished.
My grandson Hengyun has become a complete vegetable!

Emperor Tianyun brought everyone to surround Hengyun and looked at him gravely.
“patriarch, w-what should we do?” The Lu family members had ugly expressions and complicated feelings.
They were at a loss as to what to do for a while.
At the moment, Emperor Tianyun was also depressed. It was an unlucky day. Hengyun was already severely injured, and fusing into this tree made matters worse.

“What else can we do? Let’s cut down the tree first and leave the fusion part. Be careful not to injure Hengyun!” Emperor Tianyun also had a headache. His grandson would probably only be a treant in the future.
Everyone busied themselves and chopped off most of the dried tree, leaving behind the portion that had fused with Emperor Hengyun.
At the moment, Emperor Hengyun looked like a tree demon but had failed to manifest his human form fully.
The look was painful to describe.
In any case, Emperor Tianyun no longer wanted to look his grandson in the eye for fear of getting angry.
Rumble!
At this moment, the power of heaven and earth suddenly violently fluctuated as if thunder was echoing through the world. Unusual energy dispersed from afar.
Emperor Tianyun’s pupils shrank as he looked behind him, pleasantly surprised.
A supreme treasure had appeared!
“Let’s go!”
He shouted and took the lead to charge toward the source of the fluctuations.
At the moment, ina valley hundreds of kilometers away from Emperor Tianyun and the others.
‘A towering tree stood between the heavens and the earth. It seemed as though this tree had propped up the entire sky from afar.
There were not many leaves on the giant tree, but each was around ten feet in size. They were entirely golden in color on the tree trunk, like golden clouds hanging in the sky that emitted a faint golden glow.
In the middle of the giant tree, countless thick dragon-like vines interwoven into a giant ball that emitted golden light.
Suddenly, the vines squirmed and slowly spread apart, revealing a fruit wrapped within.
The fruit was about the size of a watermelon. It was round in appearance and seemed to be carved from jade. It was warm, crystalline, with a glowing halo.
They could faintly see the sun, moon, stars, mountains, lakes, seas, plants, and other miraculous scenes of the heavens and the earth within it.
The fruit had triggered the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth powers.
Golden airflow gathered from heaven and earth, circling the fruit like golden dragons.
“It’s a Heaven Earth Dao Fruit!” Emperor Tianyun was ecstatic as he flew over.
Although he had guessed a priceless treasure had appeared, he did not expect it to be a Heaven Earth Dao Fruit.
“Hahahaha, after woe comes weal! It allowed me to encounter such a peerless treasure!”
Emperor Tianyun was extremely excited. Although it was his first time seeing this Dao fruit, he had heard of it before.
This was a natural oddity enough to drive countless immortals crazy in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
This fruit contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Refining it could allow one to form a Dharmic Dao of their own and grasp many profound Great Dao techniques. It could even allow one’s physical body to transform into an immortal body’s Dao fetus.
“This is great! The heavens are really helping me! If I can refine and absorb this fruit, it will be enough to allow me to break through my bottleneck and become an immortal.” Emperor Tianyun was delighted beyond words. All the gloominess from before had been swept away.
However, Emperor Tianyun also knew that the strength of the towering tree was definitely not something he could deal with since it could nurture this Dao fruit.
It was impossible to kill it.
He could only use the power of the array formation to suppress it while having his subordinates launch feign attacks on the side to attract its attention. Once he sees a chance, he could snatch the Heaven Earth Dao Fruit.
