Chapter 217: A bitter struggle

Lin Donghui turned to look at Lan Xuanyu, whose words were spot on.

A purplish-black tree that reached high in the sky appeared 100 meters in front of them. This gigantic tree was definitely over a 100 meters, with branches drooping down to form a circle around it and a diameter of 100 meters, as though it had been enveloped by all the tree branches.

What was even more terrifying was the eyes, nose, and mouth on the trunk of the gigantic tree. It resembled an extremely large human face.

Beneath the tree trunk were two thick, solid feet that were 10 meters in length, slowly moving towards them, yet not making a bit of sound. As it moved, purplish-black roots would automatically drill out from the ground, coil around its large legs, and help stabilize its footing.

10,000 year Tree Demon! There was no doubt that the Tree Demon in front of them was 10,000 years old. They were unable to identify its exact age, but Lan Xuanyu believed it was not just a simple 10,000-year-old Tree Demon as to everyone’s affirmation.

Everyone’s heart tensed up as they faced the 10,000-year Soul Beast.

Lan Xuanyu took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder beside Bing Tianliang.

Strips of branches danced around the 10,000 year Tree Demon, while every branch that was sharp and pointed had faint purplish light. All of these moved in rhythm to the main body’s movement and emitted a faint brilliance, which was extremely clear in the night.

But when Lan Xuanyu and the group appeared before it, all the purplish light dimmed down. The 10,000-year-old Tree Demon’s pair of purplish-black pupils emitted an icy cold intent and stared straight at them.

“Stop. It’s retracting all the consciousness from the trees it is controlling.” Lan Xuanyu spoke without hesitation. The silver patterned Blue Silver Grass in his left hand coiled back to his arm, and he used it to pat Bing Tianliang’s back.

Bing Tianliang naturally understood that there was no time for hesitation. He shot forward as four soul rings flickered in unison. His first soul ring dazzled with a bright light as he unleashed his first Soul Skill, Lightning Fusion!

Purple lightning immediately enveloped his entire body as the third soul ring followed up almost immediately. Third Soul Skill, Lightning Flash!

His entire being shot forward like a lightning bolt straight towards the 10,000 year Tree Demon.

In the high-speed movement, his fourth soul ring blossomed, causing the lightning around his entire body to blaze ferociously. This transformed his entire being into a thunderbolt that spanned over three meters long. This was his strongest fourth Soul Skill, the very Soul Skill that had injured Lan Xuanyu severely, Lightning God Descent!

With the strengthening effects provided by Lan Xuanyu to utilize three consecutive Soul Skills, Bing Tianliang felt as though he had reached an unprecedented peak and even had a deeper layer of comprehension towards thunder and lightning in his mind.

As he charged forward, Qian Lei had long opened the Gate of Summoning with the silver patterned Blue Silver Grass coiled around. At the same time, Qian Lei unleashed his second Soul Skill and summoned the extremely powerful existence that he had long prepared for, the Emerald Demon Bird!

For some reason after eating the ground fire scarlet dragon’s brain tissue and with Lan Xuanyu’s help, Qian Lei was able to summon the Emerald Demon Bird more often with a 20% probability. Every time it was summoned, the Replicate would have no other soul beast but the Emerald Demon Bird. When the Emerald Demon Bird appeared, Qian Lei sent only one piece of information to it: there was good food to eat.

The good food was naturally the 10,000-year Tree Demon. It was a 10,000-year soul beast!

The Emerald Demon Bird’s blood-red eyes immediately spotted the 10,000-year Tree Demon with strips dancing around it. It was only a 100-year soul beast, but it quickly revealed why it was hailed as a violent soul beast killer. Despite being faced against the 10,000-year soul beast, there was not a hint of hesitation from the Emerald Demon Bird. It charged forward right behind Bing Tianliang and headed straight towards it.

The reason why Lan Xuanyu was willing to take the risk was also because of the Emerald Demon Bird.

Lin Donghui had just condensed his Brilliant Sun and unleashed many fireballs towards the 10,000 year Tree Demon as a cover when he saw a flicker of emerald light flash past him and almost catch up to Bing Tianliang, giving him a big surprise.

After interacting for a day, they had acknowledged Lan Xuanyu’s strength but also felt that he was only strong as an Auxiliary system Soul Master and had a good brain, while the actual fighting strength of his team was only so-so. Who would have thought that they actually had another trump card? What was that emerald green light? Was that the second Soul Skill of that useless fatty?

Both Lin Donghui and Yu Tian felt a shiver crawl up their spines when the emerald green light made its appearance. It was definitely an existence strong enough to threaten their lives.

Right after that, a slender calf appeared as dark blue hair fluttered in the wind. Dong Qianqiu had appeared by Lan Xuanyu’s side.

At the moment, Bing Tianliang had arrived before the opponent and exploded right at the 10,000-year Tree Demon. He was like a large soul guidance bomb.

The 10,000-year Tree Demon unleashed a shriek as countless green light dots surged towards it. They came from the forest around them and were in fact the lifeforce energy of the other trees.

The strongest aspect of plant type soul beasts was their lifeforce. It was the source of their existence and cultivation.

10 extremely thick strips of branches shot towards Bing Tianliang like arrows.

At this moment, Bing Tianliang’s formidable strength manifested. In the outright clash, the 10,000-year Demon Tree’s branches actually broke and shattered. However, Bing Tianliang’s momentum had also decreased.

Suddenly, a burst of lighting separated from Bing Tianliang, as if there were two of him. The lightning on his original body suddenly dispersed and shocked all the surrounding branches, while the separated purple figure brazenly pounced onto the 10,000 year Tree Demon.

“Bang!”

The 10,000 year Tree Demon’s large body shook violently under the intense explosion.

Just as Lan Xuanyu had predicted, the 10,000-year Tree Demon had split its consciousness many times to control the entire forest and that greatly affected its ability to think. The reason for controlling the forest was not to attack, but to search for Lan Xuanyu’s group. This led to it no longer being at its optimal state while collecting its consciousness again.

Lan Xuanyu and the others had thought that Bing Tianliang had been stopped. No one would have thought that he would have been brave enough to not only unleash an attack that was able to explode on the 10,000-year Tree Demon, but also an attack that was tyrannical.

The 10,000-year Tree Demon’s face on the trunk had been charred black and had lingering lightning bolts crackling around. One could only imagine the might of the attack.

Right at this time, an emerald green light shot forward and appeared before the 10,000-year Tree Demon’s eyes.

Even with its cultivation, the 10,000-year Tree Demon immediately shut its eyelids in fear upon sensing the aura of the Emerald Demon Bird. At the same time, all the lifeforce energy being gathered from the surroundings had replenished the tree.

With a ‘bang’, the Emerald Demon Bird flew upwards as it transformed into a beam of emerald light. The 10,000-year Tree Demon unleashed a mournful and blood-curdling screech. There was a large gaping hole on its eyelid with purplish-black liquid oozing out. It had obviously been injured by the Emerald Demon Bird.

Bing Tianliang and the Emerald Demon Bird’s coordination had actually created an unbelievable effect.

The fireballs around landed on the 10,000-year Tree Demon, but the strange thing was, the purplish vines and branches did not seem to be affected by the flames and did not combust violently.

Nevertheless, how could they let go of the opportunity when the 10,000-year Tree Demon was severely injured? Lin Donghui suddenly raised his head and stared at the Brilliant Sun as the third soul ring on his body lit up.
