Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone looked up as Lu Wu pounced at the towering ancient tree.
At the sa ti, countless flaming vines shot out.
“Freeze.”
A biting chill spread out, freezing the ancient tree. Following that, green vines broke out from the ground and wrapped around the ancient tree.
Mingshi Yin flashed forward and tossed the Separation Hook that was glinting coldly out.
Swoosh!
The Separation Hook slashed the lower trunk of the ancient tree.
The face on the upper tree trunk sneered disdainfully before it said, “Die.”
The vines shot out again. Most of them were aid at Lu Wu while a small number was aid at Mingshi Yin.
“Damn it! What kind of monster is this?” Mingshi Yin quickly dodge. His movents were nimble and swift.
anwhile, while Lu Zhou watched this scene, he was reminded of Liu Ge, the forr emperor of Great Yan, who had sought immortality. No matter what kind of sorcery they used, their essence still remained the sa.
Bang!
Mingshi Yin was unable to avoid one of the vines and was sent flying back.
At this ti, a huge number of wines wrapped around Lu Wu.
“A re beast emperor dares to attack ?!” the ancient tree roared as the vines tightened around Lu Wu.
Lu Wu was furious. “You’re not.. a divine beast.”
Lu Wu twisted and arched its body before it clawed at the ancient tree viciously.
Blood flowed out of the tree imdiately.
When Lu Zhou saw the ancient tree seed to be a match for Lu Wu, he waved his hand.
The Pillar of Impermanence!
The pillar expanded swiftly as it stabbed into the ground. Its diater had grown to several ters at this ti.
Boom!
“Lu Wu,” Lu Zhou called out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Wu stomped its legs on the ground, breaking free of the vines before leaping out of the vines’ range.
“Do you really think there’s nothing I can do?” the ancient tree said.
Lu Zhou flew next to the Pillar of Impermanence and looked at the ancient tree quietly. The vines were like tentacles as they attacked him.
Lu Zhou silently recited the incantations for the Heavenly Writing. Just like that, the vines were severed by so invisible energy and fell to the ground.
The ancient tree cried out in pain, but it did not take long before new vines began to grow again. It roared, “I’ll kill you!”
The vines were longer and much fiercer than before.
The water-like energy in the air began to surge and spread as well.
Lu Zhou stomped on the Pillar of Impermanence.
Boom!
The Pillar of Impermanence sank deeper into the ground as Lu Zhou launched himself into the sky. He pushed his hand out, manifesting his astrolabe in front of him.
Upon seeing this, the mbers of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew up and manifested their astrolabes as well.
Although they were a beat slower, Zhao Yu and his n followed suit. They flew into the air and manifested their astrolabes as well.
No one dared to hold back and mobilize the full power of their Birth Charts.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
It looked as though there was a teor shower as pillars of light shot out toward the ancient tree.
Lu Zhou controlled his astrolabe as he retreated, leaving the range of the ancient tree.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bombardnt of Birth Chart powers lasted for about 15 minutes.
Lu Zhou put away his astrolabe as he continued to observe the unmoving ancient tree.
All of a sudden…
Swoosh!
The tree bark suddenly peeled off before green fog rose from the ground, swiftly healing the tree.
Upon seeing this, Mingshi Yin cursed, “Damn it! You’re cheating!”
The ancient tree stood in its spot and looked at Lu Zhou and the others as it said, “It’s been a long ti since humans ca to the Great Desolate Land and delivered themselves for to eat!”
“...”
Mingshi Yin did not dare to act recklessly. He dragged Qiong Qi with him as he retreated. “Doggy, don’t ss around! We really can’t afford to ss with this, but… we can hide!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
The ancient tree laughed. “I’m the lord here. Who dares to defy ?”
Countless vines shot again toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou looked at the ancient tree and tonelessly said, “You’re too arrogant.”
Then, Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.
The Pillar of Impermanence spun rapidly, causing the ground to quake.
“Hmm?” The ancient tree began to feel like sothing was amiss.
Lu Zhou limited the range of the Pillar of Impermanence to a radius of a few dozen ters, covering the area where the ancient tree took root. The pillar’s effect quickly beca obvious to all.
The weeds on the ground grew; small trees grew taller.
The ancient tree exclaid in shock, “The Pillar of Impermanence?!”
“You recognize the pillar?”
“This pillar is an evil thing that heaven and earth can’t tolerate! How did you subdue it?” the ancient tree asked.
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You’re borrowing the tree to extend your life, trying to break the shackles of life. With the Pillar of Impermanence, your vitality energy will be completely absorbed sooner or later.”
The ancient tree stopped moving, closing its eyes and mouth. With that, the vines stopped moving as well. At this ti, it looked no different from an ordinary ancient tree.
“I’ll let you have a feel of the Pillar of Impermanence,” Lu Zhou said as he waved his hand, mobilizing his divine power. This was the first ti he had imbued the Pillar of Impermanence with his divine power.
The absorption speed of the Pillar of Impermanence increased swiftly from 20 tis to 100 tis. It showed no sign of stopping.
Vitality energy began to converge at the Pillar of Impermanence, forming a vortex.
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion had experienced the power of the pillar so they knew how terrifying it was.
At this ti, the absorption speed had increased from 100 tis to 200 tis. Accordingly, the consumption of Lu Zhou’s divine power had increased as well.
At this ti, it would depend on who surrendered first.
“Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”
Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground, unleashing his divine power. He did not consider using the divine power to kill the ancient tree earlier since he was not sure if that was possible. It was undoubtedly the best choice to use the Pillar of Impermanence. If it did not work, he would just find another way.
After the divine power exploded, the absorption speed of the Pillar of Impermanence increased even more rapidly than before.
200 tis.
500 tis.
1,000 tis.
2,000 tis.
5,000 tis.
At this point, Lu Zhou finally felt like he had reached his limit so he withdrew his hand.
The Pillar of Impermanence’s range now covered a radius of nearly 100 ters as its absorption speed increased to 5,000 tis its original speed. This ant that a day outside of its range was equivalent to 5,000 days inside its range. This kind of absorption speed naturally could not be used for cultivation. Even if one had many years to waste, it still would not be conducive to cultivation since it would be difficult for one to stabilize one’s cultivation base after breaking through.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yu could not help but clap his hands. “I didn’t expect the Old Sir to have such ans!”
Mingshi Yin asked, “Why would a human borrow a tree to live?”
Zhao Yu shrugged. “I don’t know either. We’ll have to ask him…”
The ancient tree remained where it was and ignored the others.
Lu Li looked at the ground before he said, “Be careful that it doesn’t suddenly run away.”
“The tree can move?!”
“Before this, did you think that trees can talk?” Lu Li asked.
“...” Mingshi Yin was rendered speechless.
Indeed. If that tree could talk, it was likely it could move as well. From the looks of it, it really did not seem like it could move freely like humans and fierce beasts. Otherwise, it would have escaped long ago. However, there was no way to be certain so it was best to be cautious.
anwhile, Lu Zhou looked at the ancient tree and said, “Let’s see how long you’ll be able to hold out.”
