As if the whole world trembled, the vine net covering the hole was shattered into pieces, and a huge shadow broke out of the ground, soaring into the sky.
The Tree of Life that had never swayed once in thousands of years shook violently as if it could fall at any moment.
“Big Brother Yun!” Linlin was worried about Yun Lintian. Her figure flashed at lightning speed and appeared beside Yun Lintian. After checking he was fine, she glanced upward to take a good look at the colossal figure in the sky.
It was an enormous skeletal beast with ragged wings stretched out between exposed bones, each of which possessed thick muscle fibers. Its demonic skull featured prominent teeth and a long tongue that seemed rotten for ages. Its whole body spanned at least ten kilometers long and almost covered the entire forest.
Its pair of glowing dark eyes stared at a group of people below as though he was looking at a group of ants. An intimidating aura was spreading down, pressing on everyone.
“I planned to recover my strength for a while, but you all really did a good job. Remember, this is what you forced me.” The Dragon of Death, Jue Kong, said. His voice was incomparably cold, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.
With a glance, everyone could perceive his terrifying strength. Undoubtedly, Jue Kong had already reached the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm. Throughout the Western Continent, only Tianqi Zongwei could contend with him.
Iryena’s expression turned solemn. Four thousand years ago, she could suppress Jue Kong with the help of the Tree of Life, but now she couldn’t use the same method to deal with him.
“Yavanna, bring everyone away.” Iryena sent a sound transmission to her most trusted aide.
Yavanna hesitated briefly and gritted her teeth as she answered. “Yes, My Queen!” Following that, she quickly rushed toward Iryena’s residence.
“Be careful. His attack is filling with a death aura. Once you get hit by him, all the pills you have are useless. It’s best to fight from a distance.” Iryena reminded Yun Ruanyu and others.
Swoosh!
“So this is the so-called Dragon of Death?” Yun Lingwei arrived at the scene along with the injured Mu Qiuxue and Guchang. They looked at Jue Kong in the sky in shock.
“This power… I’m afraid we are not its opponent.” Guchang’s face was ashen. This Jue Kong gave off a similar feeling to those Abyssal Beast Overlords in the past. It was impossible for everyone here to resist him.
At this moment, a few spatial rifts were suddenly torn open from the sky, and seven figures led by Tianqi Zongwei flew out of them. When Jue Kong appeared in the sky, they immediately perceived him and came over immediately.
“This…” Lang Moxie looked at Jue Kong with a solemn expression. He had always been daring when it came to fighting, but the enormous figure before him gave off a deadly aura that shook his soul.
Huoyun Yurou quickly scanned the group of people below, trying to find Yun Lintian. In the next moment, she discovered Yun Lintian was wrapped by the tree branches and seemingly immersed in his consciousness world. She frowned slightly and muttered. “Tree of Life?”
On the side, Huoyun Zhu had also discovered Yun Lintian. She stared attentively at the giant tree and said in shock. “This is… the legendary Tree of Life? It really exists?”
Tianqi Zongwei glanced at the Tree of Life and Yun Lintian, and a strange light flashed through his eyes. This scene seemed to remind him of something.
“Protect him.” Tianqi Zongwei said, and a black figure behind him immediately went to Yun Lintian’s side.
“Kekeke… I didn’t expect there’s someone at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm in this barren world. Your appearance really surprised me.” Jue Kong glanced at the newcomers and fixated on Tianqi Zongwei. “But… If you think you can fight this deity, you’re too na?ve!”
Suddenly, a thick black light shot out of Jue Kong’s mouth toward the sky and exploded, transforming into a rain of deadly lights covering the entire sky.
Tianqi Zongwei glanced upward and stretched his finger out. A giant dome of brilliant white light appeared above the Misty Forest.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the black lights fiercely bombarded the white barrier but were unable to break it.
“This old man is strong.” Yun Lingwei said in awe.
On the side, Iryena was surprised to see this. She had never thought there would be a powerhouse on this level in the outside world. Judging by the scene, Tianqi Zongwei’s strength was not inferior to Jue Kong’s… Perhaps there was a chance to win this battle.
“Oh? It seems you have some skills.” Jue Kong was slightly surprised but didn’t take Tianqi Zongwei to his heart.
“Then, what about this?” Jue Kong opened his mouth, and a thick energy ball was gathered before shooting a black beam toward Tianqi Zongwei.
“Be careful!” Iryena shouted and hurriedly released her power. A powerful green light shot out of her palm, going straight at the black beam.
BOOM!!
The collision of the two profound lights caused a massive explosion to spread several kilometers. However, the black beam didn’t stop at that. It was still rushing toward Tianqi Zongwei without losing its speed and power.
Tianqi Zongwei narrowed his eyes slightly. A white radiance abruptly radiated from below his feet and shot out toward the incoming black beam at a shocking speed. At the same instant, this white radiance also completely obscured everyone’s vision. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
Woosh!
Huoyun Yurou’s eyes shone with crimson lights. She gripped her cane tightly and raised it. Instantly, a powerful fire barrier was erected above the village.
Rumble—
No one knew what was going on as they were blinded by the white radiance. However, judging from the shaky ground, they could easily imagine a fierce collision between two intense powers.
When the white radiance dissipated, Tianqi Zongwei appeared in everyone’s vision, but when they looked closely, they could see a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. Evidently, he was injured by the earlier clash…
