370 Chapter 299: The Strange Encounter With The God’s Ancient Tree
“For the lord’s sake…”
A deep voice rang out from the black ground.
The void hunters that guarded the dark crystal turned to look toward the sound.
In their perception, a terrifying treant that exuded an evil aura appeared.
They saw more than a dozen dried branches like the arms of the undead without flesh and blood. They were twisted and deformed, and several long roots moved forward on the ground.
Its posture was overbearing and powerful.
There was a group of remarkable wasps on the leafless crown of the tree. Its black mass was like a dark cloud, and they could hear a buzzing sound from a long distance.
God’s ancient tree.
This level-13 boss was the most powerful in the entire Twilight City before the appearance of the divine soul.
The eyeless void hunters relied on their perception to observe their surroundings. At this moment, they could sense the treant in front of them contained the majestic energy of thousands of waterfalls that dell from the nine heavens.
The monsters of darkness immediately raised their vigilance to the extreme.
The guarding darkness crystal was a mark imprinted in the soul.
It was unshakeable.
Whoever dared to offend them would have to face the most brutal attack.
‘Bang! Bang!’
The muffled sound of heavy hammers hitting the ground rang out incessantly.
The void hunters could sense the opponent approached quickly!
The moment the opponent reached the 100-meter limit…
More than half of the three squadrons of void hunters suddenly disappeared.
The next second.
A dense group of void hunters appeared in front of the god’s ancient tree.
These hideous monsters crazily charged at it.
The sharp claws in their hands that could tear through steel struck the giant tree trunk.
A series of scratches appeared on the giant tree trunk.
It was ferocious and crazy.
Even a sturdy city wall would collapse under such concentrated attacks.
The twisted human-faced giant tree trunk frowned slightly.
The next moment.
‘Hu!’
They heard an explosion.
The giant tree trunk with instant death characteristics tore through space.
The power was shocking.
The void hunters can teleport once every three seconds.
After teleportation, these monsters would not fall from the void and could still move around.
A powerful ability.
However, the target of their attack was the god’s ancient tree, and if they wanted to cause damage, they had to get close.
The invincible god’s ancient tree loved this charge close-battle unit the most.
Without long-ranged restraints, this boss’s battle power was so strong that it made one’s hair stand on end.
‘Bang!’
The giant tree trunk hit a void hunter in the air. Its body was like a baseball, and the giant tree trunk kicked it to fly like a cannonball. The void hunter flew a hundred meters away and smashed into the black ground with a dull sound.
When the giant tree trunk focused and glanced again, it broke all the bones and muscles in the other party’s body.
It was supremely tragic.
The giant tree trunk, which was 70% thicker than the beam of a house, was more than enough as a weapon for a 10-meter-tall giant.
With such a violent attack, it would even smash a giant dragon and make it vomit blood.
The void hunter was still powerless against such absolute power although the void hunter was at level 14.
‘Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!’
The venomous wasps swarmed down from the tree crown as it moved.
It was like a massive wave. It quickly drowned the enemy.
The void hunter’s outer bone armor was as hard as steel. They could not withstand the poisonous sting of the bee.
These agile troops flapped their wings and shot down at a terrifying speed like sharp arrows.
‘Rip!’
The bone armor looked like a scalpel had cut it.
The poisonous stingers streaked across its body.
Before the void hunter could react, the venomous wasp passed by it.
After a few breaths, the surface of his body started to turn blue.
After it twitched a few times, the terrifying poison devoured the monsters’ vitality, and they fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.
It activated an attribute that when the number of venomous hornets reached 3,000… As long as ten wasps attacked a single enemy together, it would enormously increase the damage dealt.
With all these buffs, no matter how tenacious the void hunter’s vitality was, it couldn’t resist the poison damage.
However, the void hunter was not a lamb. It waved its sharp claws wildly and made a fierce counterattack.
Death was the only outcome when an opponent hit a wasp 10 centimeters in size.
The battle had become enormously intense from the very beginning.
The god’s ancient tree had become a well-deserved meat grinder. It would kill those opponents who dared to charge forward.
The terrifying destructive power made the void hunter experience how powerful it was.
It broke a hundred tricks with one move.
As an assassin, the venomous wasps were an offensive type.
The two sides complemented each other.
Under such an overbearing attack, even if the void hunters could teleport, it killed them in just two to three minutes.
Those corpses became the spoils of war for the god’s ancient tree. After it devoured them, the golden fruits on the trunk began to rapidly grow.
It quickly replenished the venomous wasps lost in the battle.
This boss was an entire troop that used war to sustain the battle.
It could produce even more powerful wasps if its level continued to increase.
It had cleared the enemies in front, but the god’s ancient tree did not stop. It quickly charged toward the enemies that guarded the dark crystal.
The remaining void hunters fought back frantically. Their sharp claws left deep marks on the tree trunk.
However, these attacks were like tickles to the boss, who was enormously resistant to armor.
Under the attack of the god’s ancient tree, it smashed the void hunters that guarded the dark crystal under its overbearing posture.
Blood covered the black ground.
It razed the monster stronghold guarded by three squadrons in less than 10 minutes.
After the giant tree trunk devoured all the corpses, the god’s ancient tree looked at the dark crystal that supported the spatial rift.
It was not in a hurry to roll out the dark crystal and let the wasps send them back to Twilight City.
Instead, he looked at the space rift that rippled with hesitation.
Before Richard left, he had told it that something was terrible on the other side of the spatial rift.
“Go there only if it were necessary.”
However, as it devoured more and more dark energy …
Its body transformation got increasingly deeper. It could feel a unique force on the other side of the spatial rift attracting it.
That feeling was… The dark power it had obtained lacked something. And the other side of the spatial rift could make up for it.
After it pondered.
The god’s ancient tree tried.
The feeling that came from the depths of its soul could not be wrong.
It slowly extended a root into the space gap while it pondered.
In an instant, it felt indescribable majestic energy surge into the root.
It had devoured the dark energy several times purer than the ones from the void lickers and void hunters.
Its soul immediately felt the joy of a thirsty person that met water from a well, and the transformation suddenly accelerated a little.
After the god’s ancient tree didn’t sense any danger, it was greatly relieved.
Slowly, more and more roots passed through the spatial rift.
At this moment, it could also sense the environment within a hundred meters of the space gap.
There was no life around it. And dark energy filled the sky and earth it desperately desired.
The dark energy in the ground was especially active, and it was a hundred times richer than the black earth it was on!
When it sensed this, it immediately stuck its roots into the ground.
As a big tree. The giant tree was best at absorbing nutrients from the soil.
Without any danger, the god’s ancient tree began to devour the power that could transform it.
After an unknown period, when the energy in its body had reached a certain level …
Suddenly.
The god’s ancient tree’s aura rose sharply. It spewed out in all directions without any restraint.
After it returned to its senses, the boss immediately felt a sublime change in its soul.
Although it had yet to transform, it had gained a new power… It was a newly awakened skill.
However, before it could sense the power in detail, an indescribable aura passed through the spatial rift and arrived.
At this moment, it was as if a mountain ten thousand feet high had collapsed and brought a majestic aura that shook the world.
The soul of the god’s ancient tree seemed frozen.
An indescribable sense of danger filled the air.
Death stared at it!
Just as it was about to make a move.
‘Crack!’
It broke dozens of roots that passed through the spatial rift.
It shocked the god’s ancient tree. It violently twitched the roots that bound the dark crystals. The dark crystals immediately scattered in all directions.
The spatial rift slowly collapsed like a bubble without the support of energy.
That terrifying pressure finally dissipated.
The god’s ancient tree looked at the spatial rifts that disappeared in silence for a long time.
It finally understood what its lord meant by ‘great terror’.
That kind of power was beyond its imagination.
After a long time, it returned to its senses and ordered the venomous wasps to send the scattered dark crystals back to Twilight City.
When it cleared the dark crystals on the ground, it was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, it turned around and looked at the spatial rift that had disappeared.
It could sense that its roots had regained their senses and connection…
The roots brewed a new power.
The boss muttered after it stared at it for a long time.
“Seed… I planted a seed in that strange plane…”
