Chapter 414 - 414 Burning the Tree

414 Burning the Tree

Qin Chen and the old wyrm were overjoyed to learn how to enter the light screen.

They could not force out the Dao patterns of heaven and earth in their bodies anyway. Although these mysterious Dao patterns would devour the divine power or demonic power in their bodies, they would just let them be.

Then, the two absorbed the Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth into their bodies.

The Dao patterns of heaven and earth were endless, and soon, Qin Chen and the old wyrm’s bodies were covered with Dao patterns.

Following this, they wanted to enter but realized that they were just a little bit short. Yet, the absorption of the last bit of Dao patterns was extremely slow.

It was as though there was a repulsive force when one absorbed too many Dao patterns.

That being said, to enter the light screen barrier and obtain the ancient tree of life’s branches and leaves, they continued to absorb the energy in a frenzy.

They didn’t expect that just the absorption of the last bit of Dao patterns would take them a few hours.

Holy Maiden Mu Xue, Yuji, and the big scorpion saw that Qin Chen’s body was covered with glowing Dao patterns. It was as if he was entirely covered in something.

They couldn’t bear to see Qin Chen fight so desperately.

Qin Chen and the old wyrm absorbed enough Dao patterns of the mysterious heaven and earth’s Great Path almost at the same time.

With that, they decided to enter the light screen. The two went together.

The light screen seemed to have acknowledged the two of them because their bodies were already covered with mysterious Dao patterns of the Great Path of heaven and earth.

With Qin Chen and the old wyrm’s efforts, the two managed to pass through the light barrier, and finally saw the ancient tree of life.

The ancient tree of life looked extremely terrifying. The pressure it emitted alone was enough to make the two of them tremble in fear.

Be it Qin Chen, a level 8 Supreme Sage realm cultivator, or the old wyrm, a peak Great God-realm demon, they were both stunned.

At the same time, an even more terrifying life force was emitted by the ancient tree of life. Just by being next to the ancient tree of life, the two felt as if they had become a few years younger.

The cells in their bodies began to become active, and every element that made up their bodies was jubilant.

“Don’t tell me this is the ancient tree of life?” Qin Chen asked in surprise. This was the first time he had seen the ancient tree of life up close.

The old wyrm was trembling. It was finally able to complete the final step. Now, it only needed to pluck the branches and leaves from the ancient tree of life. With that, it would definitely be able to take the last step and become a true dragon!

From then on, it would become a divine beast between heaven and earth, completing the transition of life.

Qin Chen walked towards the ancient tree of life step by step and placed his hand on the branch. The power emitted by this supreme treasure was shocking to them.

He wanted to snap the branch but he did not expect the ancient tree of life to be so tough that it could not be broken easily.

Then, Qin Chen took out the extreme emperor weapon from his storage ring and immediately activated the divine power in his body, pouring it into the weapon. An emperor’s might spread out, moving to the area in front of him.

Qin Chen slashed out a strike of chaotic sword energy, wanting to cut off a branch of the ancient tree of life.

He did not expect to fail.

After the ancient tree of life was cut, it quickly recovered and bounced the innate sword embryo away. This was something that Qin Chen had never expected.

The old wyrm refused to admit defeat. It transformed into its true form, an incomparably huge wyrm! Then, it wrung its claws on a leaf, but it didn’t expect that it just couldn’t pick the leaf.

It couldn’t pick even just a leaf. It was as if it wasn’t strong enough.

The old wyrm was very shocked as well. Could it be that the ancient tree of life was a treasure mountain that could only be seen but not obtained?

They were now standing in front of a treasure mountain, but they could not move even a corner of it.

The ancient tree of life was a precious treasure. The two of them wanted to pluck its branches and leaves, but they realized that they could not do it. Even the extreme emperor weapon could not cut off the branches.

God knows how terrifyingly tough the tree was.

Qin Chen slashed out with his sword again, and the old wyrm’s sharp senses discovered that the innate sword embryo had actually cut the tree a little.

However, the wound was instantly healed by the powerful life force and the innate sword embryo was squeezed out.

What should they do?

The two could not think of a solution at the moment. They looked at the ancient tree of life and wondered how they could break the branches and pluck the leaves from it.

Qin Chen was in disbelief. He activated his Chaotic Divine Body and unleashed a terrifying aura, shaking the void. The order of chaos appeared in front of him.

Then, he injected all his divine power into the innate sword embryo again. The extreme emperor weapon was activated and the terrifying pressure burst out again.

With the innate sword embryo in his hand, he swung his sword forward. The power of this strike was the result of him going all out.

It should be able to cut off a section of the ancient tree of life’s branch.

The result disappointed Qin Chen once again. His sword did not cut off the branch of the ancient tree of life. On the contrary, the ancient tree of life bounced the innate sword embryo away. Qin Chen even took a few steps back as if he had been bounced back by the force.

The old wyrm roared in rage. It wanted to see if the ancient tree of life could really defy the heavens today. With that, it immediately opened its mouth and bit the ancient tree of life’s leaves!

It wanted to swallow the leaf directly and refine it. The huge dragon’s head bit on a leaf from the ancient tree that reached into the sky.

Yet, no matter how the wyrm shook its head, trying to pull the leaf off, the leaf was unbudging. It couldn’t pull it off, and instead simply left a lot of dragon saliva on it.

Qin Chen thought of something. Since he couldn’t take it away, he might as well learn from the old wyrm and refine the leaf on the spot.

He no longer tried to cut the ancient tree of life’s branch. Instead, he wanted to pluck a leaf. He imitated the old wyrm and bit down on it, but he could not even chew through a single leaf.

After struggling for a long time, it was as if the two of them were playing around. Finally, they unwillingly gave up this method.

Qin Chen thought hard. Now, the biggest problem in front of them had been solved. They had managed to pass through the light screen.

The ancient tree of life was placed right before their eyes, yet they could not obtain even a part of it. They could not even refine it.

They could not cut the ancient tree of life’s branches, nor could they pluck its leaves.

Looking at the ancient tree of life exuding a strong vitality, Qin Chen was furious with impatience. He must find a way to pluck as many leaves as he could from the ancient tree of Life.

Since he couldn’t break the branches, he would start with the leaves. Soon, Qin Chen thought of a way, which was to try using the Green Lotus Demonic Flame.

“I don’t care what kind of tree you are. Today, I’m going to burn you.”
