338 Chapter 279: The Transformation of the God’ Ancient Tree, The Birth of an Invincible Boss
As the number of void lickers poured out of the spatial rift in the distance increased…
The pressure on the surroundings of Twilight City began to swell up.
However, it was not disadvantageous. Predominantly since the benefits of the land of quicksand increased at a visible rate.
The boss, the god’s ancient tree, was enormously excited.
It controlled the quicksand, buried group after group of void lickers.
After the ancient tree smothered the monsters, it transported the bodies to the roots with quicksand.
The boss enjoyed a sumptuous meal.
Richard’s keen senses picked up the presence of both the void hunters and the void foragers when he tried to probe the other side of the spatial rift.
The bodies of these monsters all contained unique evil energy.
The energy was similar to the one he felt on the other side of the spatial rift.
It made his heart palpitate.
However, there was no more information, so after he took this matter at heart, he didn’t continue to pay attention to it.
The god’s ancient tree was different.
In the short two days since the instance dungeon started, it had devoured more than 10,000 void hunters.
The number of void lickers that came out of the spatial rift increased dramatically.
The number of corpses the boss had devoured was uncountable.
The god’s ancient tree gradually sensed that it absorbed the evil dark energy due to its colossal amount.
Its trunk and bark now emitted a faint gloomy light.
The aura it emitted was extremely close to that of the void hunter and licker.
The system could upgrade to a hero unit as long as one has potential, but it could not be to a boss.
The birth of every boss unit required the right time and place.
Ordinarily, the probability was zero.
The god’s ancient tree had devoured the divine sins, terrifying life forms comparable to the gods before becoming a boss. The centaur, Emily, had become a demigod because of the blessings of the gods.
And after she became a boss unit, It would be even tougher to break through its original potential.
It was even tougher to improve than to go from the first foot to the ninety-nine feet combined.
However, at this moment, the god’s ancient tree could feel its soul had transformed because of the dark energy.
Even though the process was very slow.
Treebeard could sense it.
Its heart, which had been silent for a long time, fell into madness at this moment.
It directly formed five golden fruits.
It fished by force.
A golden fruit can increase one’s life potential. It has an irresistible attraction to life, and its effects are much stronger than the dark crystal.
The aura of the five golden fruits was like poison to a drug addict, full of fatal temptation.
The void lickers that surrounded went into a frenzy afterward.
They looked down from the sky.
One could see the densely packed figures of the monsters. They were like a troop of ants at this moment.
One with intensive phobia would probably tremble if one saw this scene.
The land of quicksand had now become a well-deserved graveyard of the dead.
No matter how many void lickers entered, the quicksand will swallow them.
However, as the number of enemies increased, the situation gradually changed.
The void lickers from the north rushed in from the same direction, and on the sand, they paved a path with blood and corpses.
The lickers in the rear stepped over the corpses of their comrades in front of them. And they quickly rushed to the god’s ancient tree.
The number of these monsters is vast. The speed of swallowing the quicksand can’t compare to that of the influx from the outside.
The void lickers were like zombies that had lost their minds in some scary movies. They charged toward the god’s ancient tree in a frenzy.
They looked down from the sky.
A death passage that constantly devoured void lickers extended from the black earth to the quicksand land. Then to the center of the god’s ancient tree.
Countless void lickers were on all fours, their backs bent, and they charged at the fastest speed possible while they stepped on their fallen comrades.
Then, they pounced on the god’s ancient tree.
At this moment, the ancient tree of divine sin was like an ancient god of war. The strong trunk of instant death characteristic made a whooshing sound as it moved.
‘Bang!’ The tree trunk smashed into the void licker like an egg.
The limb-stripping power directly smashed these monsters into pieces.
Severed body parts flew everywhere.
The dried sand was dyed red with blood.
It was like a rock had hit an egg.
The god’s ancient tree went crazy.
At the same time, the boss constantly controlled the sand to sink the broken limbs and fragments on the surface into the ground. It was to prevent the blood from flowing like a river.
Countless hair-thin roots grew under the sand.
The roots pierced into the corpses and devoured flesh and blood like straws.
As the boundless energy gushed into the tree’s body, the faint light emitted from the god’s ancient tree became even more distinct.
It stored another part of the power in the surrounding land.
[Boss Special Characteristic: It can turn the ground within a 100-meter diameter into a land of decay. It can store the energy of the corpse.]
This skill gave Richard a lot of trouble.
The ridiculous killing rate in quicksand quickly alerted Richard, who busily took over the spatial rift.
After Richard cleaned up the spoils of war on hand, he came to the land of quicksand with some curiosity.
He saw the land of quicksand swallows countless void lickers as soon as he reached the sky. The god’s ancient tree slaughtered the surrounding enemies like a meat grinder.
To Richard’s surprise, he discovered that after the god’s ancient tree devoured the void foragers, it could also absorb the dark energy that made his heart palpitate.
Under the feed of several corpses, its appearance had already changed, and a dark light covered it.
He also discovered that as the ancient tree boss devoured dark energy, the land of quicksand also fused with the boss’s power.
It was as if it wanted to become a part of it.
The god’s ancient tree’s range of energy storage expanded from 100 meters to the surrounding area. And it broke the initial boundary.
If the other party continued to devour like this…
It wouldn’t be long to expand to the entire land of quicksand.
It gratifyingly surprised Richard.
He didn’t expect the dark energy he was so afraid of would have such a good effect.
The god’s ancient tree was superb.
With some excitement, Richard opened the boss’s attribute panel.
After a glance, he immediately saw a status that made his breathing speed up.
[God’s Ancient Tree]
[Status: Transforming.]
[Current Progress: 5% (Once the transformation reaches 100%, the system will promote the potential to Beyond A-rank.)]
The god’s ancient tree was a boss template with A-rank potential.
Xina was a hero with the potential to become a Beyond A-rank skill.
In terms of battle power alone, Xina could not defeat the god’s ancient tree at the same level.
It was the power of a boss template.
However, its tree foundation limited the god’s ancient tree and could not do anything to the other party. Xina could still run if she could not win.
If the god’s ancient tree upgrades to Beyond A-rank and matches with the boss template…
This divine tree’s battle power was probably going to soar to the heavens!
Its other change was equally gratifying–the transformation of the god’s ancient tree at this time had also enveloped the land of quicksand.
The other party assimilated this area.
If the god’s ancient tree assimilated this land of quicksand, then as long as it was in this area, it could use the energy stored in the depths of the earth at any time.
It would undoubtedly increase the boss’s battle power and survivability.
In the future, there would be a land of quicksand that one could not destroy. The god’s ancient tree could rely on its superb movement speed and the energy stored in the earth to sweep away all enemies.
Richard laughed as he watched the void lickers swarm toward him.
He had thought the points would be his biggest gain.
He didn’t expect that the god’s ancient tree would bring him such a great surprise.
This boss was already enormously limb-stripper. If he could continue to strengthen it…
He couldn’t imagine what kind of enemy could cause fatal damage to him.
It was about to give birth to an invincible boss of the same level.
In this instance dungeon was a heaven for the strong.
It was so comfortable.
Richard suddenly thought of the event three days from now–Death Arena.
For this special event, they could only bring three companies of soldiers.
He wondered if he could bring the god’s ancient tree into it… If he brought this boss into it…
“I’m sorry, I want to hit 100!”
Richard thought of the other players’ expressions when they saw the god’s ancient tree more than 40 meters tall after it pulled up its roots. Confidence invaded his heart.
Those sand sculptures would probably cry in fear.
