Yuan Ming didn't rush to activate the runes atop the golden iron. Instead, he waited for Hua Zhi to finish devouring the Tree Demon before taking it back into the Spiritual Beast Bag.
The aura of Hua Zhi surged, and numerous vines grew out, wrapping around its body, quickly forming a giant vine ball.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming knew that Hua Zhi was beginning to break through. If successful, he would have another Nascent Soul level combatant by his side.
After withdrawing his Divine Sense from the Spiritual Beast Bag, he took out the Thunder God Hammer and held it in his hand before slowly feeding Spiritual Power into the iron tree.
The next instant, Yuan Ming's figure disappeared, and then he appeared in a large underground hall.
The walls and ceiling were made of dark grey stone bricks. Luminous Pearls embedded in the cracks provided a bit of light to this fairly spacious area.
