419: Second-stage Treant Chieftain

"Fellow Daoists, it seems there is a problem with the Ancient Restriction shrouding the Mysterious Fruit Forest!"

"We can no longer control these Restrictions!"

"So, we currently don't know what the situation is like inside!"

The White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool, at the First Layer of Tribulation Crossing Realm, stepped forward and explained with an apologetic face to the agitated powerhouses of the major factions.

"What? Then why hasn't your Jade Pool Holy Land quickly moved to break the Restrictions outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest?"

"If something happens to my Disciple inside the Mysterious Fruit Forest!"

"I won't let you hear the end of it!"

"Exactly! Several juniors from our Family are inside; what if they encounter danger?"

"If your Jade Pool Holy Land won't act!"

"Don't blame us for joining forces to break the Restrictions outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest ourselves!"

...The powerhouses of the various factions grew anxious upon hearing this, rubbing their hands and preparing to dismantle the Restrictions outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

After all, the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by this Ancient Restriction had reached the Enlightenment Realm.

While their junior Disciples were at most in the Soul Emergence Realm.

If they were caught in the spiritual energy aftershocks when the Ancient Restriction erupted,

how could these junior Disciples possibly withstand it?

Just then, the Yaochi Elders blocked the path of the powerhouses and continued:

"Everyone, please do not be impulsive!"

"It's not that our Jade Pool Holy Land doesn't want to break this Ancient Restriction directly."

"But this Ancient Restriction is not only extremely powerful, it also has a special setting."

"When this outer layer of Restrictions encounters an overly powerful attack, it will cause all the Restrictions within the entire Mysterious Fruit Forest to self-destruct."

They actually wanted to break the outer Ancient Restriction as well.

Several Elders of the Jade Pool Holy Land who were proficient in Formations had already studied it.

Unfortunately, they had gained nothing so far.

Moreover, in their view, only the creator of these Restrictions, or an Array Cultivator whose Formation level was close to or higher than the creator's, could dismantle them without triggering a self-destruction.

However, no Array Cultivator of such high caliber could be found in the entire Haomiao Realm, so they were completely helpless against the Ancient Restriction of the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Hearing the Yaochi Elder's words, the powerhouses of the major factions calmed down, no longer impulsively wanting to blast open these Ancient Restrictions.

They looked at the Yaochi Elders and said directly:

"We plan to find some Array Cultivators to come and crack these Ancient Restrictions."

"I assume the Fellow Daoists of the Jade Pool Holy Land won't have any objections!"

"Since you can't crack it, let us find other Array Cultivators to do it!"

"Indeed, we can't just let our junior Disciples be trapped to death inside!"

..."Please, go ahead. Our Jade Pool Holy Land will also send several Array Cultivator Elders to assist everyone in cracking the Restrictions outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest."

"Furthermore, our Yaochi Disciples are also trapped inside, so our feelings are the same as yours, Fellow Daoists!"

The leading Yaochi Elders immediately sent voice transmissions to call all the Array Cultivators who were in seclusion within the Jade Pool Holy Land.

The powerhouses of the other major factions also called upon the Array Cultivators from their respective organizations.

Soon, a large group of Formation Great Masters gathered at the periphery of the Mysterious Fruit Forest and began to study the outer Ancient Restriction.

These masters arrived full of confidence, only to end up standing there with troubled expressions, unable to come up with a solution for a long time. Nevertheless, they continued their research, trying to find a way to crack it.

Meanwhile, the powerhouses of the other major factions were scratching their heads, waiting anxiously on the side... Not long ago.

Deep within the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Endless Power of Law continuously exploded, sending out waves of thunderous booms.

Countless giant craters appeared on the ground, as if it had been forcibly erased by a powerful force.

"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"

"Why is this Human brat so strong?"

The Qing Xuan Tree Demon no longer had the prestige of the Tree Demon Clan Leader; he was missing limbs and covered in wounds.

After fighting Su Yun for just a short while, he had fallen into a disadvantage.

If he hadn't been able to invoke the power of the Ancient Restriction for defense, he would have been killed long ago.

"Clan... Clan Chief, what should we do now?"

Half of the Di Yan Tree Demon's body was shattered, and he was now relying entirely on the Power of Law to stabilize his Physical Body, looking as if he might crumble at any moment.

"What else can we do?"

"Give it our all!"

"Damned Human brat, I must finish him off right here!"

The Qing Xuan Tree Demon was glad he wasn't alone, as he had another Elder, the Di Yan Tree Demon, to manifest a Domain with him; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to withstand Su Yun's powerful Blazing Sun at all.

Immediately, he once again activated the nearby Ancient Restriction to draw upon the power of the Spiritual Vein, applying it directly to himself, while his Origin began to burn continuously.

Although he possessed most of the authority to control the Ancient Restriction, using it to activate the Spiritual Vein within the Mysterious Fruit Forest to temporarily boost his strength still required burning his Origin.

"Power of the Restriction!"

"Power of the Spiritual Vein!"

"Be added unto me!"

"Hahaha! Such powerful Power of Law!"

Feeling the immense power within his body, the Qing Xuan Tree Demon spread his arms and laughed loudly.

At this moment, a phantom of a tens of thousands of feet tall Qing Xuan Ancient Tree appeared behind him.

The ancient tree phantom transformed into countless branches, seemingly merging into the surrounding Void Realm.

As the power of the Spiritual Vein and the Ancient Restriction from the Mysterious Fruit Forest merged into his body,

his aura instantly intensified, quickly rising from the Ninth Layer of the Enlightenment Realm to the Half-step Tribulation Crossing Realm, releasing a heart-palpitating pressure.

In contrast to the massive change in him, all the Spiritual Plants within the Mysterious Fruit Forest began to lose their vitality, becoming withered and listless.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi also grew thin, and the Ancient Restriction that originally shrouded the periphery of the Mysterious Fruit Forest began to continuously absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the outside.

"Interesting!"

"Is this the second phase?"

Facing the powerful pressure around him, Su Yun was not flustered at all; instead, he spoke calmly.

He had somewhat expected this.

After all, the Luck Rank displayed in this Tree Demon Clan Leader's life script was 'supporting character'.

There were bound to be some extraordinary aspects to him.

He hadn't expected to actually be right.

There really was a second phase, and his strength had temporarily risen directly to the Half-step Tribulation Crossing Realm.

For him, this was a formidable enemy.

"Die!"

"Human!"

With a wave of his hand, the Qing Xuan Tree Demon once again activated the Qing Xuan Domain. The tens of thousands of feet tall towering Wood Dragons transformed from endless wood-attribute power of Laws were as lifelike as true dragons, releasing a heart-palpitating pressure.

The Di Yan Tree Demon also received a portion of the power from the Ancient Restriction and the Spiritual Vein, temporarily boosting his strength to the Ninth Layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

He also activated the Di Yan Profound Domain, which transformed into countless hard dragon scales that merged onto the Wood Dragons.

In an instant, these Wood Dragons seemed to pierce through the Void Realm, shattering the Blazing Sun that filled the sky with almost no damage, before attacking Su Yun from all directions.
