CHAPTER 741: CHAPTER 740 THE SOURCE OF EVIL TREE-MAN RISING

Crossing the boundary and entering the Fusion World, Ji’erbis looked at this different world, suddenly feeling a surge of overwhelming emotion.

This was a color palette he had never seen before.

Blue skies, green grass, fresh air, and... a group of highly dangerous creatures wielding something unknown nearby.

"Lord Xun, you have returned."

Dressed in Demon Ability Armor, Geng Xiyuan approached with a smile.

"Mm."

Nodding his head, Lu Zixun turned back to look at Ji’erbis, who was still stunned in his original spot, and gestured to Geng Xiyuan, "This Mushroom Spirit, let Changming arrange a place for them to live."

"Eh?"

Looking at the group of mushrooms behind him, Geng Xiyuan was somewhat confused.

Could mushrooms become spirits these days?

Leaving Ji’erbis under the protection of Geng Xiyuan until Ge Changming arrived to make arrangements, Lu Zixun directly sliced open the Void and entered the Demon Country.

After handing over the materials he had collected from the Dark World to Sarah, he then took out the Supreme Light Ball.

Women always have an interest in glittering things, and Sarah was no exception.

Especially when it was not only glittering but also the Supreme Light Ball, which looked quite nice.

"Lord Xun, what is this?"

Curiously looking at the light ball, Sarah asked.

"It’s something that can solve Evil Energy. Just analyze and input the data for those materials; this light ball is the key."

After explaining the function of the Supreme Light Ball, Lu Zixun placed it on the analysis table and stepped aside, giving Sarah a spot, "Here, analyze this."

Hearing that this item could resolve Evil Energy, Sarah’s expression instantly turned serious.

She stepped forward quickly, beginning the analysis together with Ling.

"Lord Xun, this light ball really can solve the Evil Energy. The light it releases carries a balancing property!"

Pausing briefly, Sarah said excitedly, "If before, the damage that Evil Energy could inflict on us was 3, and our defense was 1, with this energy, Evil Energy can now only cause 0.8 damage. This means we can completely defend against it."

"Not bad."

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Zixun smiled.

He hadn’t expected that on his first visit to the Dark World, he would find key materials—could this be what they call a burst of good fortune?

Instructing Sarah to continue her research on the Supreme Light Ball, Lu Zixun left to tell Long Jiuri the good news.

However, the previously calm sky suddenly slashed down a thick, dark purple lightning.

The towering trees paid a price, charred black by the strike.

And in the next second, the trees underwent a mutation, taking a humanoid form.

The spot hit by the lightning also began releasing Evil Energy continuously.

An attack from the Dark World?

The idea surfaced in Lu Zixun’s mind, and he summoned the Night Evil Sword, approached the Tree-man, and launched a slash.

However, now that the Tree-man had become a source of Evil Energy, Lu Zixun’s slash was somewhat ineffectual.

The tree lifted its left arm and smashed it hard towards Lu Zixun.

"Fog Grass."

Bearing the brunt of the Tree-man’s heavy blow, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but curse.

This strength already possessed A-level power; had he not been the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, he would have already been defeated.

The Destiny Roulette activated, quadrupling the Spiritual Energy amplitude. Lu Zixun’s Night Evil Sword flashed with a cold light, suddenly releasing several beams of Sword Qi, severing the Tree-man’s arm.

"The tree-man, who didn’t feel pain, didn’t show any abnormalities."

"With another swing of its arm toward Lu Zixun, the severed arm also began to regenerate."

"At this moment, Lu Zixun sensed the aura of the Life Goddess on the tree-man."

"What is this?"

Frowning, Lu Zixun was somewhat puzzled.

This evil energy actually mixed with the breath of life.

That was already very strange.

Even Limorex had never managed to make plague energy coexist with life energy.

However, before Lu Zixun could figure it out, the tree-man’s attack came again.

This time the tree-man utilized evil energy, and its swinging speed was so fast that Lu Zixun couldn’t help but gape.

Having learned from the last encounter, Lu Zixun, unable to confront it head-on, used cold energy to suppress the tree-man while increasing his own speed, continuously attacking the tree-man.

But facing such thick-skinned, regenerative creature, Lu Zixun’s attacks seemed much weaker.

After chopping for ten minutes, the tree showed no sign of damage.

"There’s no way."

In silent resignation, Lu Zixun stepped back, unleashed Spiritual Fire, and forced the tree-man back.

As he turned to retrieve the Supreme Light Ball, the evil energy enveloping the tree-man spun around.

Suddenly, the tree-man’s body grew significantly larger, and the vines entwining the tree, like giant green pythons, lashed out at Lu Zixun.

Sensing danger, Lu Zixun instantly activated a Frost Barrier, using the skill to block the vines.

But while it blocked the physical attack, it couldn’t avoid the magic attack.

The evil energy carried by the vines penetrated the impregnable Frost Barrier.

It began moving toward the place where Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy Acupoint was located, intending to occupy it.

Realizing their intent, Lu Zixun broke out of the ice.

He flipped his wrist, creating a Sword Qi floristry that cut the vines at the same time.

Lifting his left hand, he unleashed Spiritual Fire, completely eradicating the evil energy.

Unexpectantly able to counterattack, the tree-man looked up to the sky and roared, emitting a strange sound, then quickly grew roots beneath it, beginning to root itself to the ground.

"Lord Xun, be careful, it’s about to use the power of the earth!"

An Xiao suddenly burst out from the side, shouting anxiously.

Actually, in response to An Xiao’s warning, Lu Zixun was more curious about how An Xiao could be in this place.

After all, anyone with eyes and Spiritual Ability could tell that the tree-man was about to unleash a major ability when its outer bark turned to a soil color.

Silently comparing the gap between himself and the tree-man, Lu Zixun shook his head, then turned and retreated as the tree-man was too strong at this moment.

Lu Zixun had already struggled to harm it, and now with a Rock Armor, it was even more impossible.

"Roar! I! Am the calamity!"

The tree-man roared again angrily, pulling its legs from the ground,

and chasing in the direction Lu Zixun fled.

Lu Zixun, however, did not flee toward the Demon Country but was heading toward the border, to the Dark World.

As the tree-man stormed on, it continuously kicked up the dust on the ground.

Glancing back, a faint light flickered in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

Unexpectedly, the tree-man dared to chase.

Once it chased a little deeper into the border, Lu Zixun would immediately use Destiny Roulette to manifest the Gun of Termination and end this tree-man!
