197: Chapter 197: The Part About Running Away

Below the space portal, Lin Yuan hovered cross-legged.

A tyrannical pressure swept across from the southern horizon.

The aura exceeded the limit of the Diamond Tier, carrying an ancient, weathered life fluctuation, infinitely approaching the transcendent realm.

Lin Yuan looked up, gazing in that direction.

It seems the intelligence from the curly-haired Shopkeeper on Myriad Worlds Trading Street was correct.

At the center of Plane 712, there indeed resided a Mother Tree that had lived for ten thousand years.

Plant-type exotic beasts are fundamentally different from conventional animal-type exotic beasts.

Animal-type exotic beasts rely on Bloodline Legacy; their upper limits are basically set at birth.

Plant-type exotic beasts are different; they have no Bloodline shackles, and their only reliance is time.

The longer the years, the deeper their foundation.

They root themselves in the earth, absorbing plane energy day after day, spreading their root systems across the entire land.

For a plant that has lived for ten thousand years, the total energy contained within its body is absolutely an astronomical figure.

Lin Yuan slightly sensed the intensity of the aura.

If not for the Law grade limit of Plane 712 being locked at the Diamond Tier.

With just this ten-thousand-meter-tall terrifying body and the accumulation of ten thousand years of time, this Mother Tree would have long ago crossed that threshold and achieved transcendence on the spot.

Even so, the power it can mobilize now is far beyond that of an ordinary half-step transcendent.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, his expression without a ripple.

He had no intention of intervening.

The Calamity Fire Spirit's hellfire is naturally a counter to all plant life.

The Tyrant is even more of a hegemon in the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Even if this Mother Tree were to break through on the spot right now and forcibly enter the transcendent tier, it wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued to guard the spot.

Northern Poison Forest.

The Tyrant stopped in its tracks.

It turned its head, its scarlet eyes looking toward the south.

That wood-type energy fluctuation, infinitely approaching the transcendent, made the liquid metal all over its body boil.

"Roar!"

The Tyrant roared toward the sky.

A thousand-meter-long space rift formed behind it, and it escaped directly into the Void Realm.

The surrounding Tyrant Demon elites felt their King's Battle Intent.

They unfolded their void wings one after another, dropped the half-torn poison crocodiles in their hands, and followed closely behind the Tyrant.

Eastern Swamp.

The 350,000 Calamity Fire Spirits stopped their burning actions simultaneously.

They turned to face the south, black-gray firelight flickering back and forth in their eye sockets.

Wood-type energy is the top-tier fuel for them.

Without any instruction, the sea of fire changed direction and spread toward the south with a momentum that swept across the world.

Western Dense Forest.

The Insect King hovered in the high sky.

Its six compound eyes flickered, and the carapace on its abdomen lit up with a ghostly light.

The power of heaven and earth was activated.

Invisible ripples, with it as the center, instantly swept across most of Plane 712.

The information fed back by the ripples was incredibly clear.

The Tyrant went, the Fire Spirits went, and the Dominator was still sitting below the space portal, not moving a single step.

The Insect King shook its antennae and decisively retracted the six wings on its back.

It wasn't going to join the fun.

The Insect King's memory was quite good.

It clearly remembered the scene when it last attacked the Abyssal Armor Bone Locust Domain.

At that time, when the Tyrant encountered the Bone Locust Queen, it went straight into a frenzied state.

It was outrageously protective of its food.

It wouldn't let it or the Fire Spirits intervene at all, bearing the attacks filling the sky while it smashed away stubbornly.

It insisted on hogging the spotlight all by itself.

This time, encountering such a ten-thousand-meter-tall giant, that old madman would definitely try to swallow it all alone again.

Going there would just be staring in vain; it would be better to catch more live samples to please the Dominator.

"Continue searching!"

The Insect King waved its forelimbs, urging the insect swarm to speed up and scrape this dense forest three feet deep.

Southern Water System, at the foot of the ten-thousand-meter giant tree.

The situation of the Sea and Sky Tribes had changed.

The Poison Mother Tree cast down emerald light, and the indigenous exotic beasts went berserk and counterattacked.

Casualties appeared.

However, the battle situation did not tilt toward the indigenous beasts.

The Sea and Sky Tribes are essentially chaotic creatures bred by the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Madness and slaughter flow in their bones.

The death of companions did not bring fear but directly ignited their desire for destruction.

A Super Bone Fish was smashed by a berserk Armored Giant Rhino.

Its skeleton scattered all over the ground.

The next second, within the scattered bones, void Soul fire exploded.

A strong Void Oscillation wave spread with the Bone Fish corpse as the center.

The bodies of the hundreds of Armored Giant Rhinos charging at the front were twisted and broken in the oscillation wave.

Space rifts cut through their heavy armor, shredding the flesh and blood inside.

In mid-air, a Magic Blade Bat had its wings torn apart by a Thunder Feather Bird.

The Magic Blade Bat let out a final sharp screech, and its body self-destructed directly.

Dark green plague poison mist permeated the area.

The indigenous exotic beasts only needed to breathe it in once, and the healing effect of the emerald light would completely fail.

The poison mist dissolved in the lungs of the indigenous exotic beasts.

A colorful giant leopard had just pounced and killed two Liquid Metal Crabs when its body suddenly stiffened.

It opened its mouth and spat out large mouthfuls of blackened visceral fragments.

In just a few seconds, the colorful giant leopard turned into a pool of pus.

The branches and leaves of the Poison Mother Tree drooped, attempting to absorb the energy within this pus.

As soon as the branches and leaves made contact, the plague toxin spread upward from the broken end, forcing the Mother Tree to cut off a large area of branches itself.

The Sea and Sky Tribes stabilized their footing.

They retreated to the side, looking at the ten-thousand-meter-tall giant tree with greed in their eyes.

A mere tree.

As long as it entered their attack range, they could grind it to death bit by bit.

The Poison Mother Tree was thoroughly enraged.

It had reigned supreme in this plane for ten thousand years and had never been so provoked.

It had already revealed an aura infinitely approaching the transcendent, yet these outsiders not only did not retreat, but fought even more crazily.

The dark green core in the center of the Mother Tree's trunk pulsed violently.

It drew upon the world power of Plane 712.

The entire sky turned dark green.

Rich wood-type Law condensed into halos, spreading outward in circles.

As the halos swept past, the Sea and Sky Tribes felt their energy flow become sluggish, and their mobility was greatly suppressed.

All the creatures inhabiting the Mother Tree swarmed out.

The Thunder Feather Birds, blocking out the sky and sun, gave up long-range lightning, folded their wings, and turned into cyan meteors smashing toward the formation of the Sea and Sky Tribes.

On the ground, millions of indigenous beast tides had blood-dripping eyes, charging regardless of everything.

They completely abandoned defense, biting with their teeth and slamming with their bodies.

The defense line of the Sea and Sky Tribes began to retreat.

Just at this moment.

At the end of the horizon, a dark golden streak of light tore through the dark green firmament.

Boom!

The earth shook, and the air waves sent thousands upon thousands of indigenous exotic beasts flying.

The Tyrant descended.

Its original five-hundred-meter-tall body appeared somewhat petite in front of the ten-thousand-meter-tall Mother Tree.

The Tyrant raised its head, its scarlet eyes locking onto the core in the center of the Mother Tree's trunk.

It roared lowly.

Dark golden liquid metal surged crazily on its body surface.

The Tyrant's body grew section by section. Six hundred meters, eight hundred meters, one thousand meters!

The thousand-meter-tall dark golden demon god stood on the earth, its aura directly tearing through the suppression of the world power.

The Tyrant bent its legs slightly and charged forward.

The earth collapsed under its feet as it crashed into the millions of indigenous beast tides.

A Diamond Tier Armored Giant Rhino tried to block it.

The Tyrant didn't even look, its right knee slamming heavily into the giant rhino's head.

Bang!

The Diamond Tier giant rhino's skull shattered, its body disintegrated in mid-air, splashing a sky full of blood rain.

Dozens of Thunder Feather Birds descended from the sky, their sharp beaks stabbing directly at the Tyrant's eyes.

The Tyrant raised its left hand and waved it casually.

A pitch-black cutting line appeared on the edge of its arm from the void wings.

Dozens of Thunder Feather Birds were cut in half at the waist, feathers mixed with blood spilling down.

No indigenous creature could block the Tyrant for a single second.

It killed its way straight through the beast tide, arriving within the attack range of the Poison Mother Tree.

The Mother Tree counterattacked.

Thousands of root systems as thick as mountain ranges burst out of the ground, whipping toward the Tyrant head-on.

The remaining Tyrant Demon elites arrived at the battlefield.

They raised their bodies one after another, turning into hundred-meter-tall metal giants, and rushed into the surrounding beast tide.

They were responsible for clearing out the indigenous exotic beasts and branches attempting to approach the main battlefield.

The Sea and Sky Tribes saw the Tyrant Demon army enter the field and were instantly anxious.

These old rogues came to steal the monster!

A million Mutated Magic Vultures drew lightning, preparing to bombard the Mother Tree's canopy.

Ten million Bone Fish condensed Extremely Heavy Water, intending to seal the Mother Tree's roots.

A Diamond Tier Tyrant Demon turned its head.

It raised its hand, gravity collapsed in its palm, directly sucking tens of thousands of Bone Fish into mid-air, and then slapped them away.

"Get lost!" The Tyrant Demon roared a warning.

The Sea and Sky Tribes were stunned by the blow.

They retreated to the periphery, watching helplessly as the Tyrant Demon army took over the core battlefield.

They dared not fight back; the class suppression in the Divine Domain was carved into their bones.

They could only vent their anger on the surrounding indigenous beast tides.

Core battlefield.

The battle between the Tyrant and the Poison Mother Tree entered a white-hot stage.

Thousands of root systems whipped against the Tyrant, and cracks appeared on its dark golden liquid armor.

The power infinitely approaching the transcendent finally broke through the Tyrant's defense.

The Tyrant advanced instead of retreating.

It completely abandoned defense, adopting an extreme fighting style of trading injury for injury.

A root system pierced the Tyrant's left shoulder, bringing up a large splash of dark golden blood.

The Tyrant didn't even frown.

Its left hand grabbed the root system tightly, its right hand clenched into a fist.

Titan Strength fully erupted.

Liquid gold gathered in its right fist, forming a high-speed rotating metal drill.

It threw a punch.

The air was struck into a sonic boom cloud.

The right fist smashed onto the root system, blasting it into a sky full of wood chips.

At the wound on the Tyrant's left shoulder, flesh and blood writhed crazily.

Within a few seconds, the deep-to-the-bone wound completely healed.

Not only that.

The liquid metal on the Tyrant's shoulders split open, and tens of thousands of black gold flying insects poured out.

These symbiotic flying insects pounced on the surrounding scattered wood chips and the corpses of indigenous exotic beasts.

Gnawing on flesh and blood, sucking the poison miasma in the air.

The flying insects continuously fed the purified energy back into the Tyrant's body.

The Tyrant fought more bravely as it fought, maintaining its physical strength at its Peak state at all times.

The Mother Tree felt the threat.

It mobilized more root systems, forming a wooden cage to trap the Tyrant in the center.

Countless poison thorns grew inside the cage, squeezing the Tyrant's living space.

The Tyrant's mouth curled into a cruel smile.

Shadow Lurker power activated.

The Tyrant merged into the shadow beneath its feet.

The wooden cage lost its target, collided with itself, and twisted into a ball of waste wood.

The next second.

In the shadow at the bottom of the Mother Tree's trunk, the Tyrant broke out from the shadow.

It concentrated all its power in its legs and leaped up violently.

Void wings vibrated violently behind it, granting it terrifying acceleration.

The Tyrant went from bottom to top, delivering a solid uppercut, smashing into the Mother Tree's trunk.

Rumble!

The Poison Mother Tree swayed.

The tree bark exploded over a large area, and green sap splattered everywhere.

The Tyrant hooked its hands into the cracks in the bark, its void wings turned into two peerless sharp blades, cutting the Mother Tree's trunk.

Every cut brought up large amounts of wood fibers.

The attribute amplification brought by [Infinite Slaughter] began to manifest.

The Tyrant's strength, speed, and defense climbed steadily as the battle deepened.

It used pure violence to suppress this ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree that was infinitely approaching the transcendent.

The Poison Mother Tree let out an uneasy Soul screech.

It was desperate.

The green light on the canopy flourished, all the branches and leaves withered, and endless wood-type energy gathered toward the core in the center of the trunk.

The surrounding space began to twist, and destructive fluctuations were brewing.

It was about to release a big move.

The Tyrant stopped cutting; it landed on the ground, its legs anchored in the earth.

The liquid gold on its body surface solidified rapidly, forming layers of black gold armor.

Titan Strength circulated within its body, and the Tyrant prepared to take a transcendent-level blow head-on.

Fanatical Battle Intent burned in its eyes. Come on, let me see the power of the transcendent!

The green light compressed to the extreme.

The blinding light made all creatures temporarily blind.

The light dissipated.

The Tyrant maintained its defensive posture, stunned on the spot.

There was no world-destroying attack, nor any so-called energy storm.

Ahead, where the Poison Mother Tree had been rooted, there appeared a bottomless pit.

The ten-thousand-meter-tall giant tree's roots had actually been completely pulled out.

Countless root systems intertwined, turning into two thick, incomparably large wooden legs.

Above the canopy, tens of thousands of the largest Thunder Feather Birds and other flying exotic beasts worked together to hoist the upper half of the Mother Tree's trunk.

In the Tyrant's stunned gaze.

The Poison Mother Tree took strides with its two wooden legs, and with the support of the flying exotic beasts, it turned and ran at a comical yet extremely fast speed.

Each step it took covered a dozen miles, kicking up a sky full of dust.

It ran away.

This Poison Mother Tree, which had lived for ten thousand years and was infinitely approaching the transcendent, didn't even want its home anymore.

It ran away directly.

Leaving behind the tens of millions of indigenous beast tides that were resisting desperately.

Leaving behind the Sea and Sky Tribes and the Tyrant Demon army.

Leaving behind the Tyrant, who was maintaining its defensive posture with a dumbfounded expression.
