Chapter 369: Dark Tree

The maelstorm was terrifying indeed. When it came contact with the overlord, he was immediately stepped back off for several times and all his clothes were shattered. The force and impact that the maelstorm give was more than enough to tear this world helpless.

"Grug!" The overlord spat a mouthful of blood. However, he remained focus and was still adding defensive formations to protect himself. Evading was useless against this attack, thus all be could was receive and survive it.

"Stabilize!" The overlord roared and his essence blood shot towards above him. It was like a sea of black blood that could drown the void in mere seconds. Then, he used the essence blood to fight against the maelstorm.

"Oh, you're finally using your blood." Jin Rou wasn't surprised. He knew that the other party would eventually use his precious blood against him. After all, if he didn't, he wouldn't have a chance.

But the thing here was, the blood was so important for beings like him. It was the foundation of their very core. When they used it, it just meant that they were exposing their vital part.

"It's not yet time for me to die against this attack, Your Majesty." The overlord smiled despite appearing a bit exhausted, "Stabilize!"

The sea of black blood became a large tsunami, then. Waves after waves as if a sea under the sky was actually there.

"Clash! Clash! Clash!" It fight against the maelstorm, creating a massive destruction all over the canyon. The wind scattered in all directions as it violently destroyed everything.

This battle could actually end a world. In fact, even this world could be threatened and be split in half without further ado.

Though Jin Rou had already predicted this, he was still surprised that this overlord could actually fight with his attack at an even footing.

Of course, that's just that. He was surprised. But it didn't mean that he would let the other party do whatever he bidded.

"Hum!" Jin Rou raised his sword once again and the qi gathered around the tip. After making a small ball of qi, he swung the sword and created a laser-like beam with an arc on its tip.

"!" The overlord was alarmed once again. He thought that it would take time before the other party could cast another attack. After all, this attack was terrifying and qi-consuming. But who would have thought that he could still create an attack even at this moment?

He had no choice but to double the quantity of his essence blood.

"Boom! Boom!" However, the enemy's attack was still stronger even though he already doubled it. He couldn't help but curse under his breath. He was the overlord of darkness since the time immemorial and he would just be defeated by a man from a younger generation?

"You're pushing my buttons, Your Majesty." The overlord sighed, "But it seems you really want it this way, then perhaps I can comply with you."

"…" Jin Rou could feel that the air suddenly changed direction. He looked left and right to see what was happening and saw that the ancient tree behind the overlord started to move.

"I was planning to use this card against your grandparents when we fight. However, it seems that I no longer can make it happen." The overlord seriously said and the tree behind him turned into a complete black and bleak. The gigantic size was tripled as it tore upon the clouds and sky.

Jin Rou could sense the intense dark aura and the power of this system, or if it was a system so to say. Whatever it was, he could feel a threat coming in his way.

For the first time during his adventures all this time, this was the first time that he could feel a pressure fighting against an enemy. Take note, this overlord wasn't yet a zenith! If he became one, that would threaten the whole celestial family, for sure.

Jin Rou promised himself that he would do all he could to destroy this founder once and for all.

Jin Rou equipped another sword for his left hand. If his family could see this, they would know that Jin Rou was taking this fight to his maximum extent. In other words, Jin Rou was planning to go all out to kill the overlord.

"Bring it on!" Jin Rou swung his dual swords casually and rushed towards the overlord with a speed faster than everything!

"Bam! Bam!" However, before he could reach his target, the branches of the dark tree shook and tried to pierce through him. However, Jin Rou successfully evaded but the enemy had also successfully fended his attack.

"On!" Jin Rou blessed himself with plenty of buffs and coated his sword with divine-grade lightning.

"Whoosh!" Then, Jin Rou became a streak of blue light and attacked once again. However, this time, his target was the dark tree.

"7000 True Slashes!" Jin Rou didn't give an introduction and immediately cast a technique. The slash contained mighty power and elegance toppled with the aura coming from the highest realm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The slashes clashed with the branches and thousands of vines of the gigantic tree, shaking the whole world with its impact. Many structures and towers were destroyed even at a faraway distance.

The two sides were in an even footing, shoulder to shoulder. One was attacking with slashes while one was defending with its branches.

"7000th Slash!" Jin Rou successfully used the 6999 slashes and eventually roared for the last slash. It contained the power of millioms of worlds and sucked the qi around dry. It was faster than the previous slashes thus the dark tree was caught unprepared.

It tried to catch the slash by using its thousands of vines however, it still pass through it.

"Boom!" And eventually hitting the tree, having a large wound in its middle part.

"!" The overlord almost spurted blood because of the injury connected to him. Fortunately, he stopped it midway.
