"If that old man underestimates it, he is up for a rude awakening" Amon explained.
Just like he said, as soon as the old man stepped forward to harvest the Soul Spiritual Tree, a branch slithered out and attacked him.
BANG... the unexpected attack shocked the old man. However, he was still a battle overlord practitioner with ample experience. Imdiately, he guarded himself with his battle cloak. Nonetheless, the impact still sent him flying pretty far away.
"Tch, a re tree dares to obstruct this old man? Let see how long you can hold on" Saying that, the old man sent forth a fierce barrage of attacks that sent shockwaves through the altar.
KIEEEE... In response, the Soul Spiritual Tree issued a piercing screech. Dozens and dozens of roots that was still dripping with magma uprooted themselves from the ground and charged at the incoming attacks.
The resultant clash blasted the air, shaking down the very island itself. The fight between the old man and Soul Spiritual Tree was so fierce that simply standing on the altar proved difficult for many practitioners.
Each of their attacks was imbued with so much battle energy that it made even a battle Grandmaster level practitioner pale. Forget about taking a part in this battle, even the aftershock from their battle could kill most of them.
"This is madness. How can such a strong being enter this place? I thought this ancient domain had a restriction that didn’t allow practitioners above Battle Overlord realm?" Lan Feng questioned.
Nearby, Yang Chen had similar doubts. From the strength the old man displayed, he didn’t seem like a Battle Overlord realm practitioner. However, it was also a fact that strong practitioners above battle overlord cannot enter this realm.
"What are you thinking? Giving up on the Soul Spiritual Tree?"
At Amon’s question, Yang Chen laughed. "You should know by now. When I make up my mind, I will not stop until I accomplish it"...
"kfufu... That’s the right kind of temperant a master of the Greedvil System should have" The demon was quite pleased. As ti went by, the fight between the old man and Soul Spiritual Tree beca even much fiercer.
However, given how the old man showed had an edge over the fight since the beginning, it was clear that in due ti, he would erge victorious.
By now, many practitioners left the altar, having given up on the Soul Spiritual Tree after seeing the old man’s strength. That said, not everyone had left. There were still a few observing the fight, looking for an opportunity to grab the at pie falling from the heavens.
Yang Chen was one of them. He was watching the exchange intently, trying to discern any weakness or gap he could exploit. Fortunately, the opportunity he was waiting for finally showed itself.
KIEEEEE... a piercing screech rang out. The Soul Spiritual Tree which had lost most of its branches and roots, went into a fury, abandoning all defences to counterattack.
Thanks to its all out attack, even the old man was hard pressed to defend. At the crucial mont, his defence crumbled and he was sent flying by the last remaining branch of the Soul Spiritual Tree.
Nevertheless, this ca at a cost. The tree lost its final branch and also its last line of defence.
WHOOSH... Almost at the sa ti, sound of piercing wind could be heard. A figure rushed towards the Soul Spiritual Tree at a breakneck speed. The figure was so fast that within the ti that one takes to breathe, he reached the proximity of the tree and dived into its Spiritual Mist.
"Be careful, the spiritual mist contains enigmatic powers. If your soul energy isn’t strong enough, you will lose your soul realm, becoming a cripple. Tightly guard your soul realm, do not let the spiritual mist to enter you".
Yang Chen did as he was told and used his soul energy to tightly wrap and guard his soul realm.
The Spiritual Mist around the Soul Spiritual Tree was dense enough to pierce ones skin, causing his entire body to burn like it was on fire. His skin turned crimson and sweat evaporated from his every pore, making it seem like steam was continuously coming out of his body.
Yang Chen endured on and finally breached the spiritual mist, reaching the tree.
"Quick, there is no ti to waste. That old man is coming," Amon cautioned. The old man who was swatted away by the Soul Spiritual Tree earlier was now rushing over here furiously.
"His opponent shall be my demonic puppet" Yang Chen had already recalled the Demonic Puppet and kept it on standby. Now it was ti for its debut.
ROARRR... a grating roar echoed out across the island, followed by a crimson object falling from the sky.
BANG... the ground shook and shrapnel shot all around. Inside the crater that had just ford, a figure slowly rose. It was covered in crimson bone armor, had two horns and a hollowed skull face that made it seem like a corpse.
When the practitioners saw the appearance of the new entrant, their faces imdiately paled and they couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
"Demonic Puppet!!" Perhaps there was no one in this world who wouldn’t be shocked by the appearance of a Demonic Puppet. After all, it was a cruel and inhumane thing from the ancient ti that made all practitioners uncomfortable.
"What is that thing doing here?" The old man questioned, having been forced to a halt by the appearance of the Demonic Puppet. The latter stood between him and the Soul Spiritual Tree, barring him from advancing.
"I don’t know what an abominable thing like you is doing here, but don’t get in my way"
The old man shouted. Battle energy churned and gushed out of his body, turning into powerful battle skills that ramd into the Demonic Puppet, battering and hamring into the ground.
When the silence followed next, everybody took a deep breath at the heart palpitating might of the old man. If earlier they too harboured the thought of becoming the fishern to fish for opportunity, then now they dispersed all such thoughts.
