Just as the Phoenix-Winged Demon King's blazing flames were about to engulf the roots of the ancient tree, the elf girl's earrings suddenly fell to the ground and took root.
The emerald-colored roots instantly formed a barrier, refracting the flames into fireflies all over the sky.
"oh?"
She tilted her head and chuckled, and the leaves falling from her hair condensed into arrows in the air, accurately pinning the shadows of the three demon kings.
The trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life suddenly cracked into vertical pupil-shaped lines, and the old tree language vibrated in the air:
"I told you I won't let you kill the little foodie"
The tree roots rolled up a pool of blood that was corroding the soil, with emerald spots of light floating in it.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
The elf girl flicked her fingertips, and blood suddenly boiled and rushed towards the half-dragon king, corroding his scales into charred tree-like scars.
The Lion King's golden right arm suddenly grew three times larger, and a ball of light like a solar flare burst out from between his knuckles:
"Then purify you too!"
The moment the light ball hit the ancient tree, all the fruits on the tree crown exploded at the same time, and the acid mist that sprayed out devoured the light ball into wisps of green smoke.
The seven-layer light curtain of the balance field descended at this moment.
The first layer crushed the half-dragon king's frost armor.
The second layer melted the fire feathers of the Phoenix Wing Demon King.
The third layer dyes the Lion King's golden mane gray.
. . .
When the seventh layer of light curtain engraved with the scale totem fell to the ground, the killing moves of the three demon kings turned into nutrients to nourish the ancient tree——
Frost condenses into dew, flames turn into phosphorescence, and metal breaks into fertile soil.
"alright."
Seth stepped out from the crack in the light curtain, and star sand seeped out from the cracks in the bronze lantern in his hand.
His cloak moved without wind, revealing the densely packed sealing talismans on the lining. Those talismans were absorbing the rampaging energy around them.
The ancient tree of life suddenly stretched out its aerial roots and wrapped around Seth's ankles, passing a bloody mark to him.
Seth raised his eyebrows and looked at the blood mist rolling in the distance:
"All right."
The shadows of blood-red stars were flickering among the treetops, and each flicker made the trunks of the ancient trees grow thicker.
"That guy, we're going to get it done."
"Besides, even if you destroy the forest, you can't kill that guy."
“It will be released instead.”
"It would be better to expand the coverage of the Ancient Tree of Life and trap that guy forever."
The bronze lantern in Seth's hand suddenly cracked into spider-web-like patterns, and the wick burst out not fire but dark green juice.
The moment these liquids dripped onto the ground, the bluebells within a hundred meters in radius suddenly grew wildly, and then turned to ashes within three seconds.
"If I really get swallowed like this,"
The frost runes between the half-dragon king's scales were fading, and he was forced to reveal a section of his dragon's tailbone.
"Even the ancient tree of life will be eaten up."
The elf girl danced on the dead leaves, creating emerald ripples with every step:
"Do not worry."
She pulled out the vines from her hair and threw them into the air. The withering spruce suddenly sprouted new buds, which quickly grew into strange branches with corpse cocoons hanging on them.
The trunk of the ancient tree suddenly split open, swallowing the rotting land within a radius of ten miles into the tree hole.
Seth took the opportunity to press the broken lantern into the crack:
"I'd like to see——"
The lamp oil mixed with the blood mist ignited a bluish-white flame in the tree hole—
"It's binge eating."
The whole forest was suddenly filled with the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
The growth rings of all the oak trees began to rotate in reverse, the pine needles turned into steel needles and shot into the sky, and even the lichens rolled into straw shapes and stuck into the soil.
The monsters were horrified to find that their claws were turning into bark and the horns of the Deerhorn were blooming poisonous buds.
"The Ancient Tree of Life is still expanding faster!"
When the last syllable of the elf girl faded away, all living things froze at the same time.
Tens of thousands of trees twitched and rose from the ground, their roots tangled into a web that engulfed the sky. The moment deathly silence descended, time seemed to be torn apart.
Beetles fell to the ground and shattered with their wings still flapping, bird feathers carbonized in mid-air, and fish swimming in streams turned into clear crystal.
Even the wind was drained of its vitality, condensing into solid snowflakes that fell to the ground.
Seth raised his hand and caught a piece of "Wind Corpse".
Watching it melt into pale ash in my palm:
“Really.”
His one eye reflected the forest that was devouring itself, and the trees that were gnawing at each other actually formed the outline of a crown in the void.
An unprecedented disaster swept across the entire forest and even the continent.
. . .
"it is good!"
"He'll leave it to you first!"
"Hopefully, we won't see that guy one day"
As the Phoenix Winged Demon King left, he tore off a burning tail feather, and the dark blue flame burned away the scorch marks on his crown in the void;
Every step the half-dragon king took left dragon claw marks on the frozen ground, and tiny blood mist skeletons were sealed in the ice crystal claw marks;
The Lion King suddenly turned around and threw out his golden fangs. After the fangs penetrated three inches of the ancient tree's bark, they finally turned into rusty iron nails and fell off.
The lantern in Seth's hand suddenly oozed a bituminous liquid, which snaked across the ground and wrote a message:
"They went to find 'the one'."
The reflections of the three demon kings crossing a thousand-mile glacier appeared on the surface of the lampshade.
And in that uninhabited land, stands an immortal castle - Amandal.
That is the demons' holy land.
Human hell.
It is also the residence of the oldest demon king.
"king."
As Seth knelt on one knee, his knee crushed the metamorphosing beetle—
Half of the insect's body had turned into bark.
The bronze lantern suddenly disintegrated on its own, and the twelve fragments floated into a crown of thorns, but shattered into dust before touching the elf girl's hair.
The Ancient Tree of Life suddenly cracked open into seven layers of growth rings, each layer of growth rings was embedded with a sealing tool from a different period:
The outermost layer is a bronze lock stained with dragon blood, the middle layer is a fence made of demon horns, and at the deepest part is suspended the silver bell of the elf girl when she was a child.
"Go back!"
The elf girl waved her hand and shattered the three tree puppets that tried to follow her. The puppet's limbs immediately took root after falling to the ground, and fanged carnivorous plants bloomed.
Wherever her skirt swept past, Ye Yan’s sleeping face, entangled by roots, emerged from the tree rings—
Those emerald veins were running under his skin.
The star map spinning in Seth's one eye suddenly stopped, and his pupil reflected a thrilling picture:
The vine crown in the elf girl's hair and the thorn mark on Ye Yan's forehead perfectly fit into two semicircles of the growth rings.
"You are still"
His whispers were swallowed up by the ancient tree.
"I'm going to find Little Foodie."
The elf girl's fingertips brushed across the innermost layer of silver bells, and the sound of the bells awakened the tree spirit that had been sleeping for eight hundred years.
Countless fluorescent spores gushed out from the depths of the tree rings, forming in the air an illusion of Ye Yan’s childhood being caught stealing the fruit of life.
Seth walked backwards into the shadows of the trees, the outline of dark wings seeping out from behind him.
When he had completely disappeared, the remains of the lantern suddenly burst into a last spark, burning small words on the bark:
"The cage is also the throne."
The moment the elf girl stepped into the annual ring channel, all the sealing instruments rang at the same time.
The bronze locks oozed dragon blood, the devil's fences sprouted barbs, and the silver bells sang a requiem on their own.
But when he touched the hem of her skirt, they all lowered their heads obediently.
In the deepest darkness, there was a faint sound of tightened chains and the boy's vague mumbling:
"Fruit. Still need to be eaten" (End of this chapter)
