Chapter 453: A frightening level 3 Tree

Finally, after a few moments, they were finally able to hear a sound, even though that wasn't the one they wanted to hear in the least.

It was a mix of whooshing sounds, and terrible screeching soul attack sounds like earlier, but this time it was much more powerful.

It was a good thing that their Patriarch had warned them to enter inside the formation a moment ago, otherwise they would end up just like their fellow disciples.

Still, the effects of the soul attack were upon them, as their Soul Power was draining at a rapid rate, and the pressure upon them was almost doubled.

Things had just gotten more difficult, and they weren't even sure about their Patriarch's well-being at the moment, and the signs weren't good either.

This was truly a really bad moment for all of them, as once again they were hit by reluctance, and fear, but this time there was a difference as they were also fired up at the moment.

Their anger and hate had grown beyond normal and were now flaming like someone had thrown gasoline on it.

Their Patriarch, Tianlong Yun was the person that they revered, respected, and loved the most. He was their savior, he had given them a new life, and strength.

Their life had a new path, and meaning just because he had helped them, and shown them the path, otherwise, they would be still weaklings suffering in the streets.

Now that there was a chance that he was hurt, or unable to fight against that powerful foe out there, and that he might even die in there, they were burning inside.

They didn't care about their fate, or fears anymore, as the only thing that mattered inside their brains, was him and his well-being.

Without losing any precious second, they all took a 'Heart Cleansing' pill to ease up the pressure, and the drainage rate of their Soul Power, and immediately made a ran to their enemies.

Right now, they were all flaming with fighting spirit, and killing intent, as they advanced courageously towards the enemy's lines.

The trees didn't seem to be expecting such a reaction and furthermore seemed to be busy dealing with something else, so most of them were easily cleaned out.

In fact, the disciples were not only able to clean a large part of the trees in their way, but they also managed to collect quite a few level 2 'herb roots' that were being used for the soul attack.

Still, as they were fighting with all they had, one thought never left their mind, this attack was so powerful and wasn't even directed at them, just how much stronger was on the target.

But that wasn't all there was to it, since this attack wasn't directed at them, then the only other possibility was that the target of the attack was their Patriarch.

This was a piece of truly bad news for him, but also a piece of terrifyingly good news at the same time. Surely, he was suffering under the pressure and the soul attack, but this showed he was still alive.

At least this gave them a bit of hope and fired them up even more, but they couldn't keep going at it for longer, as they were now extremely exhausted, and would collapse any moment.

It was time for them to interchange, and it wasn't like their comrades were any less angry and fired up than they were, so their progress would be the same.

As the disciples were fighting with these thoughts nonstop and continued to cut down on enemy forces without stopping, Tianlong Yun was in a precarious condition.

His plan earlier was pretty simple actually, he was going to use two of his tramp cards in order to deal with the level 3 tree in front of him.

He was going to use the physical sturdiness that he had from his transformation into a Seraphim, with his scales, and wings, and at the same time, he was going to use his Nirvana flames to burn it down.

For that reason, the little obstacles on his way were reduced to nothing, as he was able to easily carry them away with his physical body alone.

None of them hurt in the least and he was able to ignore them totally, or so he thought because that was his biggest problem.

While their physical attack was truly easy to ignore, and he didn't feel even the least pain as he faced those attacks, he had underestimated one fact.

Their ability to suck Soul Power, even though he had covered his body in Nirvana Flames, and scales, he was still unable to counter their sucking ability, and his Soul Power going down at a higher rate.

Still the moment those vines contacted his body, they would crumble to dust and ashes, but that wasn't helping him in any way, as the trees didn't seem to care about their existence or loss.

It was like fighting against a madman that didn't care if it lived or died at the end of their fight, and the level 3 tree was no exception to this.

In fact, its vines were even more terrifying as not only sucked more of his Soul Power and tired him more, but they even caused him some slight physical bruises.

Normally not even level 1 Soul Formation Realm cultivators should be able to do something like this happen, and yet this level 3 tree had done it.

Still, he didn't give up on his attack, as he just continued to go faster even though the distance was truly short, as he started dodging most of the attacks.

The short distance was covered in an instant for a normal eye vision, as he made contact with his biggest hurdle, the vine net waiting for him.

If he didn't act swiftly to take care of it right now, then most probably he was done for, so he immediately used his bone wings to circulate in the air before the net could close down.

Of course, that wouldn't be enough to take care of that net, as he covered his wings with the Nirvana flames, and he turned himself into a flaming tornado.

Due to the high centrifugal power, and the Nirvana flames specialty the tornado grew stronger and stronger around him, as it started to burn the vines even before even touching him.

While the weak level 1 and level 2 trees were unable to feel pain, and suffer from his attack, the level 3 tree seemed to be different from them.

While it possessed logic and was more developed than the level 1 and level 2 weaklings, at the same time its development brought new difficulties and problems.

So, while the weak level 1 and level 2 trees didn't react much to the attack, the level 3 tree was in anguish and pain.

It was able to perceive the pain of losing its vines against Tianlong Yun's fire, and it was something that it had never felt before.

In all its existence, no matter how many intruders had entered the Nightmare Forests, there had never been even one who had been able to make the level 3 tree perceive pain.

This was the first time it happened, and it wasn't enjoyable in the least, as it was trying to pull away from her vines to herself, but they were so mingled with the level 1 and level 2 trees' vines and it was a bit difficult.

When it finally managed to pull its vines away it was already too late, as most of them were turned into ashes for a good part of them.

This clearly angered the tree beyond the limit, as it made her wrathful towards the insolent vermin intruder that dared to make her experience pain.

But before it could even counter-attack, the flaming tornado that burned its vines was headed towards its trunk, its main body part.

Right now, it was already too late for the tree to dodge it, and it had no other choice but to try and defend itself with everything that it possessed.

With this simple logic, the level 3 tree seemed to have forgotten about the painful experience it had a moment ago, and immediately used all the vines it could to create a blockage.

Even though the time was really short, and it should be practically impossible, still the vines' speed seemed to have increased quite a bit, as the level 1 and level 2 trees' vines disappeared.

Actually, disappeared isn't the correct way to put it, as they withered. The level 3 tree was sucking all the Soul Power the level 1 and level 2 trees had, in order to increase its speed, strength, and abilities.

Just how much of a cheat could this fu*cking level 3 tree become, it was out of his best estimations, but there was nothing he could do besides continuing with his attack.

In no time there was a big wall of vines standing in front of his way to the level 3 tree's trunk but he didn't stop, and just clashed the tornado right forward.

There was a big explosion, as ashes, dust, wood particles, and resin flew in all directions, but it was clear that the explosion was penetrative and he had passed the hurdle as he made his way towards the trunk.

Clearly, his flaming tornado was more than half worn, as the wall of vines had been truly difficult to be penetrated, but that wasn't his biggest problem at the moment.

Earlier when the tree had withered most of the level 1 and level 2 trees, it hadn't totally sucked out the herb roots, and they were now out of their 'bodies' so they did what they usually would do.

A powerful combined soul attack was directed towards Tianlong Yun…
