Chapter 660: Chapter 425: Symbiosis with the Tree Part 2
Long Xingyuan and his team had been conducting research on how to achieve Demon Promotion, proposing many theories.
One Fusion thod would be to continuously vie for authority with the Great Demon before its will had even ford, slowly integrating with it, and thereby completing the Demon Promotion. This thod was undoubtedly the most secure.
First, there was no need to confront a formidable adversary such as a Fifth-order Great Demon, and second, with a strong enough will and sufficient ti, those of Fourth Order Superior might also be able to achieve Demon Promotion and ascend to Fifth-order in one fell swoop.
However, such a thod required not days but years, several years even, and no one could guarantee who would progress faster in this process.
The second thod was to activate the Blood Sea Demon, which would gather authority upon its ergence. Defeating it, even if its authority were to scatter, would allow you to collect a significant portion of it initially. Having a portion of authority first and then fusing the remaining bits of authority later would naturally be much faster, but the challenge of killing a Fifth-order Great Demon was no small feat. Plus, once it ford a Great Demon Will, that erosive force was not as chaotic and ‘controllable’ as the overall will.
“Simply kill it? Perhaps I can forcibly detain more authority, at least the amount Elder Li can handle,” Su Han said.
“Just use the usual thod to kill it, you know more about this area than we do. After all, without enough strength, you can’t sense those authorities’ power,” replied Elder Li.
Though Long Xingyuan was also of Fourth Order, his understanding of these powers was undoubtedly no match for Su Han’s.
“I understand, shall we begin?” he said.
Li Wenyuan had been ditating for quite a while, his psychic fluctuation steadily growing. Slowly opening his eyes, he nodded and said, “Good.”
The three entered the Blood Sea Space, where it appeared the sa as at the beginning; the heavens and earth were blood-red, and the Blood Sea surged constantly. However, not a single Gray Inferior Demon or Corpse Ghost could be seen.
In the three days leading up to this, Long Xingyuan’s preparations included clearing out the Gray Inferior Demons and Corpse Ghosts to ensure there would be no external disturbances at the start.
In the center of the otherworldly island, two huge and strange trees had already been erected, soaring up to a hundred ters, with thick and twisted trunks stretching towards the sky. The strange branches extended ceaselessly, spreading their foliage as wide and dense as a canopy.
The tree on the left radiated a purple glow while the one on the right emitted a faint yellow light. The two complented each other, creating an aurora-like spectacle, dazzling and intertwined.
“Where there are people, there are Lamp Trees. We have often overlooked the power of Lamp Trees, but they remain an indispensable force,” Long Xingyuan remarked suddenly, from dispelling the mist to being the foundation of the Star Torch Tree, Lamp Trees played an unimaginable role.
“Perhaps they are a guide, who knows,” Li Wenyuan said with a smile, then walked step by step under the trees, as the intertwined purple and yellow light fell upon him.
He reached out to touch the Star Torch Tree, and in an instant, the light from the Star Torch shone brightly, becoming incredibly dazzling.
The Book of Blood Spirit on Li Wenyuan’s hand lit up, and his four Angel Envoys were summoned, guarding by his side.
“It has begun.”
Su Han felt Li Wenyuan’s psychic fluctuation growing rapidly, and at the sa ti, a ssage ca through the Star Torch Network, indicating that a force of spiritual power was rging and partially assimilating with the Star Torch Tree.
As the Master of the Star Torch, if Su Han were to intervene now, Li Wenyuan’s Fusion would be interrupted imdiately. This was why Li Wenyuan needed Su Han’s help.
‘I hope everything goes smoothly.’
He did not intervene or facilitate the Fusion; he left everything to Li Wenyuan to manage.
Once he lifted the restrictions, the Star Torch Tree imdiately erupted in a column of light that descended upon Li Wenyuan.
His clothing rustled noisily as he levitated mid-air, accepting the cleansing from the Star Torch Tree. Powerful Spiritual Energy washed over him continuously, and the rules of the Star Torch Tree penetrated his body. Soon, Li Wenyuan showed an expression of pain.
To rge a human’s soul into the Star Torch Tree, to transform one’s body into the tree, was never an easy task.
But Li Wenyuan was different.
After the initial pain, Li Wenyuan quickly adapted. Under the watch of Su Han and Long Xingyuan, his body began to transform.
His clothes completely dissipated, his form entirely enveloped in light, and then his skin began to spiritualize bit by bit, transforming into Spiritual Factors, and started to slowly disseminate, one by one.
“This… his body…”
Long Xingyuan could not have expected this scene to occur and imdiately showed an anxious expression.
Su Han put his hand on his shoulder, “Don’t worry, the body is undergoing spiritualization, but the soul and ntal strength are already gradually forming a binding with the Star Torch Tree.”
His perception beca even clearer, and at this mont, he could feel the changes in Li Wenyuan. If this developnt continued, and the whole process was completed, Li Wenyuan would also break through to the Fifth Order.
Within the Blood Sea Space, the originally calm blood sea suddenly began to surge, psychic fluctuations beca chaotic, and a terrifying will seed to be condensing, pressing towards Li Wenyuan.
Su Han’s expression instantly darkened, and a flash of cold light passed through his eyes as he said coldly, “Blood Sea Demon.”
Perhaps it was the disturbance caused by Li Wenyuan that gave the Blood Sea Space a sense of crisis, and the Great Demon that had been gestating seed to suddenly take shape.
Authority continued to converge, the blood sea kept churning, spiritual energy was gathering towards a creature in the blood sea.
A monstrous beast, with tattered blood-colored bone wings and a body like a blood elephant, rose from the blood sea, towering a kiloter high like a mountain, its fierce, crimson eyes focusing on Li Wenyuan and the Star Torch Tree as soon as it appeared.
It let out a ferocious roar then raised a blood wave hundreds of ters high, carrying countless Blood Sea Creatures as it rushed straight toward this island.
Its voice like thunder, its form like a blood wall.
Su Han’s figure suddenly vanished into space, appearing directly at the shore. He didn’t draw the Black Sword but instead, a shadow of a shinbone scythe materialized behind him, sweeping over the kiloter-distant blood wave.
In an instant, his attack headed straight for the blood wave, cutting it in half in the blink of an eye. The trendous force was completely neutralized, and countless Blood Sea Creatures were annihilated at the sa mont.
The strength of the Sixth Order was not sothing this ordinary Blood Sea Demon could contend with. Su Han effortlessly blocked the attack of the Blood Sea Demon with a re strike.
However, this Blood Sea Demon was not frightened at all; instead, it drew even more power from the Blood Sea Space and charged toward the island, its montum seemingly powerful enough to break through mountains and destroy the island.
Seeing this, Su Han aid the shinbone scythe at the Blood Sea Demon. He had intended to activate the Great Demon and then slay it.
Now that it was coming to him, it saved him so effort.
“Hold it off for for a while; I’ll handle it myself,” Li Wenyuan’s voice reached Su Han through psychokinetic power.
Looking back, Su Han saw that Li Wenyuan was now only a soul’s shadow, vaguely overlapping with the Star Torch Tree.
But in such a state, his aura had already reached the level of the Fifth Order.
Su Han nodded, and the shinbone scythe, that had been intended for the Blood Sea Demon, transford into a protective layer that enveloped the entire island.
Boom!
The Great Demon of the Blood Sea, with the force of ten thousand catty, constantly struck the barrier with rolling blood waves.
But the attacks, that could have destroyed the island, were helpless against the thin barrier.
At that mont, Li Wenyuan touched the hundred-ter Lamp Tree, and golden light flowed from between the tree trunks, rging into his soul. At the sa mont, he had completed the fusion with the Lamp Tree, becoming one with the tree and establishing a connection.
On one side was the Star Torch Tree, on the other the Lamp Tree. From this point forth, these two trees would be the essence of Li Wenyuan’s existence, and he would be the manifestation of these trees.
“What a majestic will, that of humanity and the earth,” Li Wenyuan felt the profound will within his ntal strength, and in his Sea of Consciousness, it was as if two differently colored suns were hanging.
Purple and golden intertwined spiritual factors kept erging, rging into his soul. His body, which had already dissipated, rapidly coalesced while a shadowy robe fell upon him.
Li Wenyuan reappeared, stepped out, and was already hundreds of ters away next to Su Han. Then he said, “I will suppress this Blood Sea Demon.”
