Chapter 424 - 340: The Ancient Tree Joins the Battle! The Peculiar Realm Breaking Task!_1
They saw around them the ground begin to give way, as a multitude of roots stretched out, and a dense mass of vines descended from above, forming a forest-like canopy.
In front of them, the ancient tree that had been taking root in this place for three days suddenly “came to life.”
Its roots at the base began to move incessantly, dragging its massive body toward the battlefield.
At the same time, a deep green glow surged from its body, enveloping the nearby battlefield.
Cui Xiabing and Purple Poppy excitedly stood on the trunk, shouting something with all their might.
On the trunk of the ancient tree, the face of the hidden one began to awaken, chanting some melodious syllables.
Specks of green light turned into droplets of rain, falling from the sky.
Zheng Cheng looked up in surprise and said, “Such rich life energy, this…”
“I feel my spirit rapidly recovering.”
“My physique too…”
“My injuries are healed.”
The deep green light continued to spread, swiftly engulfing the entire battlefield.
In the midst of the battlefield, the domain powers released by the six epic level powerhouses could not stop the fall of these green droplets; they dissolved into it.
“Is this… the domain power of that ancient tree?”
“Such rich life energy, is it a healing type of domain power?”
“Life Essence Domain!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
As the ancient tree moved, the land continued to shake violently, and the range of the Life Essence Domain expanded relentlessly.
Within the domain, those embroiled in battle also noticed the falling green rain.
Their wounds were visibly recovering at the speed of the naked eye.
Their previously depleted spirit forces were gradually returning.
“What’s happening? Is there a priest?”
“Such strong healing capabilities…”
“No, that’s wrong! It’s a domain! This is the power of a domain!”
“It’s that ancient tree…! Damn it, the Blue Star Human Race has awakened it!”
Several exclamations sounded out, but on the side of the Blue Star People, it was surprise.
The Cave Beastmen, on the other hand, were terrified!
“Ah!”
“My skin!”
“What is that thing…!”
Suddenly, several more cries of shock rang out. Some Lizard-men had grass growing densely out of their scales, spreading like ringworm at an alarming speed.
Some Jackal Werewolves had small roots sprouting from their noses and ears, appearing quite mischievous.
And a few Bat-men had pink flowers blossoming on their heads.
“Ah!”
“I, I’m growing grass…”
“Damn! Where did these flowers come from, it’s so itchy, my brain’s going to grow out, ah…”
“Why is the Human Race unharmed, damn it!”
“Pixis, lord Pixis, save me…”
Screams continued to rise as Pixis’s expression changed drastically. He swung his hand, and the Fire of Sacrifice domain intensified again. The golden flames of sacrifice started to enshroud these Cave Beastmen.
Yet oddly, the golden flames of sacrifice could only suppress the growth of the plants, unable to completely eradicate them.
In desperation, he cried out, “Your Highness Lucas!”
“Awoo…~!”
Lucas responded with a howl as he pushed back Xiao Tianfeng with one claw, and the Waning Moon in the sky once again cast down a sheet of moonlight that shrouded numerous Cave Beastmen.
However.
Even though his moonlight had the ability to enhance, it was helpless against the Life Essence Domain of the ancient tree; it could only momentarily suppress the growth of these plants.
But for some Cave Beastmen who had already suffered severe injuries or were dead, the plants continued to grow wildly on their bodies, quickly turning them into huge wooden figures that merged with the earth and became trees!
Seeing this happen, the Cave Beastmen’s expressions turned even uglier.
Bartle emanated ripples of energy, pushing back several wooden figures, and gritted his teeth, “That ancient tree is at least ten thousand years old, with incredibly rich life essence. We’re no match for it in the Splendid Forest.”
“Retreat!”
Lucas said through clenched teeth, quickly falling back.
Pixis shook his head and, with a thought, the fiery eagle rapidly retreated, retracting the Flame Territory and protecting Pixis as they left the battlefield.
As for Bartle, he had already transformed into dozens of illusions, rushing in all directions and dissipating into the air.
Soon, only the Blue Star People remained on the battlefield.
Many were gasping for breath; some even collapsed onto the ground.
This encounter, after all, involved three epic level powerhouses and one epic level Demon Beast on the other side.
Had it not been for the help of the ancient tree, their losses would have been extremely severe.
“The ancient tree…”
Xin Ruhuo put away the Array Plate, looking at the colossal tree approaching in the distance, “I remember three years ago this ancient tree was enlightened by a freshman from Imperial Capital University named Cui Xiabing. It seems she’s still alive.”
“Indeed.”
Xiao Tianfeng also returned to his true form, saying, “These students have been missing for three years, and it’s unknown how many of them are still alive. If…”
“Elder Xin.”
With a flash of thunder, Xu Qingfeng descended from above, landing beside the two.
“You are… Nightwatcher Xu Qingfeng?”
“That’s correct, Elder Xin,” Xin Ruhuo nodded, “Three years ago… I was the chief invigilator for that trial, and I was stranded in the Spirit Charm Blessed Land with those students.”
