EBE Chapter 232 The Divine Tree's True Form, Eight Arms Unparalleled in Heaven!
Chapter 232 The Divine Tree's True Form, Eight Arms Unparalleled in Heaven!
Sure enough, after Gu Jiancheng unleashed the Soul-Melting Flame, the ancient tree's divine soul began to tremble wildly.
They seemed terrified!
Now he is suppressed by the Yin-Yang energy, and his divine sense pressure is unable to break through to the Saint Realm.
Wow!
Thus, the moment Gu Jiancheng's sacred fire touched the ancient tree's divine soul, the entire ancient tree instantly exploded.
His soul shattered and dissipated into countless strands of soul energy, disappearing into the bottom of the Annihilation Pool.
In just a few breaths, it vanished without a trace.
The ancient tree's spirit actually escaped just like that!?
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng also arrived in front of the stone platform and found a teleportation array on it, but he did not know where it led.
"Senior Wei, what exactly is that thing?"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng frowned and asked.
It was quite unexpected that they were able to escape right under his nose.
"That is the soul of the Annihilation God Tree."
At this moment, Wei Yilin's divine soul rose from the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron. He looked solemn and said, "It was originally the guardian of Ailao Mountain, or rather, a gatekeeper."
"The Ailao Mountains were used to imprison sinful cultivators in ancient times, but they were completely abandoned after the ancient catastrophe."
"The Annihilation Pool is where the Ailao Mountains punish sinful cultivators. Any sinful cultivator who enters the Ailao Mountains will have their physical body destroyed and their soul tortured until they finally die."
"But after the Ailao Mountains were abandoned, the Annihilation Pool remained. The Annihilation Divine Tree did not perish during the ancient calamity, and it has been healing its wounds ever since with the help of the Taiyi Holy Water in the Annihilation Pool."
"But he was originally a wood spirit, and his absorption of Taiyi Holy Water was extremely slow. It wasn't until twenty years ago, when I came to Ailao Mountain and entered the Annihilation Pool, that I was captured by him."
"He called me a soul slave, and made me absorb the power of the Taiyi Holy Water, and then feed back the power of my soul to him."
"At that time, my soul was also severely damaged and I was no match for him. I could only compromise to recover from my soul injury."
"But I never expected that, even though my soul cultivation has reached the peak of the half-saint realm over the past twenty years, I am still suppressed by him. If you hadn't come, I don't know how long I would have been trapped here."
"I see!" Gu Jiancheng nodded after hearing this.
“However, although his soul was injured by you, he should still be alright. His physical body is still intact, and the cultivators from the Valley of Evil might be in danger!” But at this moment, Wei Yilin’s expression changed drastically.
"Hehe, don't panic, senior, we'll go up right away!"
Gu Jiancheng simply smiled faintly, then raised his hand to retract all the Yin-Yang energy he had previously released.
But as the Yin and Yang energies entered his body, drops of Taiyi Holy Water gradually appeared in front of Gu Jiancheng.
There were at least a thousand drops!
As Gu Jiancheng made a grasping motion with his large hand, all the water droplets gathered inside the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron.
This practically emptied all the Taiyi Holy Water within the Annihilation Pool.
Seeing this, Wei Yilin was completely dumbfounded.
He had cultivated here for twenty years and had only absorbed a hundred drops, but now this junior could extract a thousand drops in the blink of an eye.
What a means! ?
"Senior, let's go!"
Gu Jiancheng simply smiled, and then, carrying the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron, he rushed upwards.
Wow!
Just as everyone outside the Annihilation Pool was on tenterhooks, Gu Jiancheng broke out of the water.
"metropolitan!"
Wei Xingzhou and the others were overjoyed at the sight.
Although Gu Jiancheng was only down there for a short period of time, it felt like an extremely long time to them.
Now that they saw Gu Jiancheng return safely, their hearts were finally at ease.
"You, your physical body is actually unharmed?!"
At this moment, the bearded old man and the others were all shocked.
They had never seen anyone emerge from the Annihilation Pool with their physical body intact!
"Of course I'm fine!"
Gu Jiancheng smiled, then raised his hand and lifted the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron.
Wei Yilin's soul also floated out from it.
"Valley Master!?"
"grandfather!"
Everyone was greatly surprised and immediately rushed over.
The elders of Evil Valley had not seen Wei Yilin for twenty years, and Wei Yilin entered the Annihilation Pool shortly after Wei Xingzhou was born. He had almost forgotten what his grandfather looked like.
"Alright, alright, it's not like we're saying goodbye. Stop crying and making a scene!"
"Xingzhou, where are your parents?" Wei Yilin suddenly asked.
“Father, Mother, she, they…” Wei Xingzhou was stunned, but the next moment, his eyes reddened.
"Valley Master, your eldest son and his wife perished shortly after you entered the Annihilation Pool, pursued by the Soul-Reaping Scholar..." the bearded old man sighed.
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yilin's expression changed drastically. He had only one son in his life, and now he had already perished!
"Xiao Baiyi, I will fight you to the death!" Wei Yilin roared in fury.
"Buzz!"
But at that moment, the entire Ailao Mountain suddenly began to shake violently.
Everyone's expression changed in shock. Gu Jiancheng's pupils shrank slightly, and his feet trembled as he forcefully withstood the power of the restriction and came to the air to look down.
Within sight, countless ancient tree branches and vines, like terrifying giant pythons, climbed up the cliff face of the Ailao Mountains!
Just from these branches and roots, one can tell how enormous this ancient tree must be!
Gu Jiancheng was familiar with these tendrils; they were none other than the Annihilation God Tree!
But now, it is its true form that has descended!
Soon, the bearded old man and the others also saw clearly the tendrils climbing up the branches and roots, and their expressions became even more terrified.
They could even see roots rising from the ground in the distance, as if an enormous beast were crawling out.
They had lived in the Ailao Mountains for twenty years and had never seen such a scene before!
"Human insect, how dare you ruin my good deed and steal my opportunity! You have some nerve!"
Finally, after all the roots had climbed up Mount Ailao, a colossal ancient tree, three thousand feet tall, slowly descended before the village of Evil Man Valley.
This ancient tree is so tall that its outstretched branches seem to cover most of the sky, covering an area of ten thousand feet in diameter. An ancient aura permeates the area, and its oppressive power sweeps across the surrounding area for a hundred thousand feet!
Everyone standing beneath its ancient wooden trunk felt as insignificant as ants!
"This...this is the aura of a Saint Realm expert!?"
"what?"
"Has the ancient tree come to life?"
The people from Evil Valley looked at each other in disbelief; they had never seen anything so terrifying.
Moreover, this ancient technique not only blots out the sky, but its oppressive power far surpasses that of a half-saint!
"Heh, a mere pseudo-saint dares to call himself a saint?"
"I thought you had already escaped, but I never expected you would dare to come and die?!"
But in mid-air, Gu Jiancheng looked at the Annihilation God Tree and grinned maliciously.
That's perfect, he really didn't want to let this guy go.
"presumptuous!"
"Dare to offend me, and you shall sacrifice everything you possess, including your life!"
At this moment, the Annihilation God Tree was also completely enraged. Its patience was exhausted, and thousands of branches and roots intertwined, stirring up a sky-covering tidal wave that swept towards the village of Evil Man Valley.
Beneath the Annihilation Pool, although he was no match for Gu Jiancheng, he could still see that Gu Jiancheng seemed to possess an extraordinary aura that could disregard the Taiyi Holy Water!
If Gu Jiancheng's body is devoured or possessed, then not only can he break through to the true Saint Realm, but his combat power will also become even stronger!
This time, he went all out. He not only wanted to kill Gu Jiancheng with lightning speed, but also to destroy the entire Evil Valley stronghold!
In an instant, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open.
Both the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts and the bearded old man were thrown into disarray.
Wei Yilin is currently only in his divine soul form, and his combat power is greatly reduced. Their peak combat power is only at the peak of the Dao Integration stage. How can they possibly withstand combat power comparable to that of a Saint Realm expert?
Even if Wei Yilin returns, will they all still die?
"Hahaha, quite the boast!"
"But you don't have that ability!"
Gu Jiancheng merely sneered, his entire body and aura remaining unchanged, as if he had no intention of stepping forward at all.
This left everyone quite puzzled.
Wei Xingzhou, in particular, knew that Gu Jiancheng definitely had the strength to fight against a peak half-saint.
Could it be that they have some kind of trump card?!
Soon, the tendrils of the Annihilation Tree swept up to the front of the mountain stronghold.
Just as the stronghold was about to be destroyed like rubble, at this critical moment, dense ancient vines suddenly rose from the ground around the stronghold of Evil Man Valley.
Almost instantly, a wall of vines tens of thousands of feet long was formed right in front of them!
boom!
The next moment, the roots and branches of the Annihilation God Tree crashed into the vine wall.
But it only produced a deafening thud, and the vine wall remained unbroken!
It even infiltrated the mountain stronghold without leaving a trace!
This was an attack that was almost at the Saint Realm level, yet it was blocked like this!?
"What, what is this?"
But at this moment, all the cultivators of the Valley of Evil were dumbfounded.
These things that have appeared one after another have completely exceeded their understanding.
When did this strange ancient vine reappear outside the Evil Valley stronghold?
"Hmm? Could it be... the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine?"
"No, that's absolutely impossible!"
But the Annihilation God Tree seemed to know the secrets of this ancient vine. After a cry of alarm, all its roots and branches retreated wildly, as if trying to escape!
From being incredibly arrogant to fleeing at the mere sight of the enemy, it only took a dozen or so breaths!
"Heh, trying to escape now? You're finished!"
But inside the stronghold, Gu Jiancheng only let out a sinister laugh, then waved his hand, sending the ancient vines outside the stronghold chasing after him.
In fact, after he arrived at Ailao Mountain, he secretly released the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine just in case.
Unexpectedly, it has actually come in handy now.
Moreover, both the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine and the Annihilation God Tree are considered plant-based spiritual cultivators, but in terms of talent, the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine is far superior to the Annihilation God Tree.
The suppression in rank and talent also caused the Annihilation God Tree to turn tail and run!
The ancient vines of the Crimson Heaven moved with incredible speed, spreading along the earth and entangling the roots and branches of the Annihilation God Tree in just a few breaths.
If anyone is to blame, it's the Annihilation God Tree, whose massive size severely hampered his escape speed.
Even though the Annihilation God Tree kept using its broken roots to stop the pursuit, the speed of the Crimson Heaven Ancient Vine was simply too fast!
In just a dozen breaths, it tightly bound the massive body of the Annihilation God Tree, rendering it unable to move in front of the cliff of Ailao Mountain!
Even though the Annihilation God Tree roared and struggled incessantly, unfortunately, the Ancient Vine of the Heavens was inferior to the Annihilation God Tree in both rank and cultivation.
While Gu Jiancheng was in seclusion, the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine was continuously tamed, and its cultivation level soared because it absorbed Gu Jiancheng's Burning Heaven Power!
Above the Zhu Tian totem, crimson flames rose, causing the Annihilation God Tree to howl in agony!
He never expected to encounter the Zhu Tian Ancient Vine in the Ailao Mountains.
"In that case, it's time to end this!"
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly headed out of the mountain stronghold. His body was bathed in golden light, and lightning crackled around him. A flying dragon protected him, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on top of the Annihilation God Tree.
"Eight-Armed Heaven-Slaying Seal!"
boom!
An eight-armed Dharma image coiled around a dragon and rose up, transforming into bolts of lightning that descended!
After these eight massive imprints, each thousands of feet in size, fell one after another, the Annihilation God Tree collapsed and gradually shattered amidst its wailing cries!
Eight arms, piercing the heavens, suppressing and killing the divine tree!
