Chapter 1181

The mutation of the Purgatory Demon Tree soon caused the entire forest to change. The plant gremlins quickly withered one by one.

At first, only the area around the Purgatory Demon Tree was affected. However, as the Purgatory Demon Tree grew in size, more and more plant gremlins were affected. One by one, they withered as if they were being sucked dry of water.

As the mutated area expanded, the Purgatory Demon Tree grew in size.

From its original height of ten meters, it grew to twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters … It did not show any signs of stopping until it was a thousand meters tall.

"Go!"

Gu Ding shouted at Neptune and the others. He could feel the Purgatory Demon Tree's aura growing stronger. It was originally just a Holy King Level, but now it was slowly approaching his strength.

Hearing Gu Ding's voice, Neptune and the others quickly ran toward the edge of the forest.

Rong Ye, Angelina, and the others immediately flew away.

Only Biggie and Elsa remained where they were. Both of them had Holy King combat effectiveness, and their strength was still intact. Naturally, they wanted to stay and help.

"You guys leave quickly. This guy's strength has far surpassed a Holy King after the mutation. It's not something you can fight against!" Gu Ding shouted at the two of them.

"Go!" Biggie hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Elsa's arm and quickly left.

"Caw caw caw … You want to leave? Do you think you can escape?!"

The Purgatory Demon Tree's voice came from all directions. It felt as if thousands of Purgatory Demon Trees were speaking at the same time, causing waves of overlapping sounds.

Three blood-red branches shot out of the Purgatory Demon Tree's twisting body. They were like three blood-red pythons as thick as a human thigh. They extended toward Neptune, Rong Ye, and Biggie's camps. This time, the attack was more than a hundred times faster than before the mutation. The blood-red branches also carried more than a hundred times more power.

Wherever the blood-red branches passed, the space seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, leaving a long gap. They swept toward the three camps without any hindrance.

Among the three camps, Neptune and Miko frantically formed a barrier handprint. In an instant, they created nearly a hundred layers of defense barriers, but they were instantly shattered by the blood-red pythons. Even after the barriers were broken, the remaining force did not diminish. The two of them and the rest of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew were sent flying. The group of people who were sent flying crashed into thousands of plant monsters, and all of them fainted.

The two Saint Kings, Angelina and Rong Ye, also tried to block with all their might. Even Kou De and Suo Ya used all their defensive abilities, but in the end, all four of them were sent flying. They spat out mouthfuls of blood in the air and fainted.

Biggie and Erza, the two Saint Rulers, worked together to defend, but they were blasted several dozen kilometers away by a blood-red branch. The bones in their arms were all shattered, and their organs were shaken to the point where they constantly vomited blood. Although they did not fall unconscious, they had basically lost the ability to fight.

On the battlefield, only a giant blood-colored tree and a black-haired young man were left.

After attacking Biggie and the others, the Purgatory Demon Tree's aura finally began to stabilize. At the cost of turning the entire demonic tree forest into dead wood, his strength seemed to have increased to a terrifying level.

At this moment, the Purgatory Demon Tree was almost ten thousand meters tall, almost touching the clouds in the sky.

The wavy branches began to condense rapidly, and under Gu Ding's gaze, they turned into a human-like form. Even the roots retracted from the ground and turned into two large feet.

It was a giant tree person, and on its head, there was a blood-red crown that looked like it was made of wood. That was the symbol of a Saint Ruler — the King's Holy Crown.

Gu Ding's eyes were fixed on the Purgatory Demon Tree, not daring to look away. He knew very well that Liliath and the others were badly injured. Although he was extremely anxious, he did not have time to care about them. If he was distracted for even a moment, he could die here.

"Now, only you and I are left, human True King Level powerhouses!" The Purgatory Demon Tree's voice sounded like thousands of living beings roaring at the same time.

"True King?" Gu Ding was stunned. It was the first time he had heard the term.

"I've been on this Path of Kings for hundreds of eras, but I've never seen a True King. However, so what if he's a True King? He's going to die by my hands anyway! Caw caw caw caw … "The Purgatory Demon Tree seemed to have gone mad.

"It's too early for you to be happy. We don't know who will win yet!" As soon as Gu Ding's voice fell, his hands quickly formed a seal and he activated the Unparalleled God of War of the Wargod Palace.

Above his head, a halved War God quickly formed.

This was the most powerful divine power he had obtained before he became a Holy King.

As soon as the halved War God formed, he punched the Purgatory Demon Tree heavily.

The Purgatory Demon Tree snorted coldly and met the punch with a punch of its own. "No matter what divine power you use, your struggle is futile!"

When the two fists collided, the entire void exploded wildly as if the end of the world had come.

The space instantly collapsed like a spider web, and terrifying cracks radiated thousands of miles in all directions.

Even the sky, which was originally clear and sunny, darkened in an instant. Even the weather in this world was affected by the collision between the two of them …

The result of the first collision was beyond the two's expectations. It was actually a draw.

The arm of the halved War God cracked slightly, but it healed in an instant. The Purgatory Demon Tree's arm also broke into several branches, but they also healed in an instant.

"The halved War God can't hurt his foundation. If this continues, there's no way to determine the winner in a short time. However, Liliath and the others' injuries can't be delayed … "Gu Ding frowned. After a while, he opened the door of his Small World.

Gu Kong and Gu Jin's two avatars stepped out of the door.

"What trouble are you in now?" As soon as Gu Kong asked, he saw the incomparably huge tree man in the sky. "What the hell is this?"

"My attributes should be able to restrain him. Since I've broken through to Holy King, I want to see how much my strength has increased." Gu Jin did not wait for Gu Ding's order and rushed toward the Purgatory Demon Tree.

"Isn't it just a tree man? The effect of Space Cutting might not be any worse than Metal Cutting." Gu Kong also rushed forward.

Gu Jin and Gu Kong were both Gu Ding's avatars. Their combat effectiveness was exactly the same as Gu Ding's. As long as Gu Ding's original body advanced, it was the same as their advancement. Gu Ding had broken through to Holy King, so both of them were very excited and wanted to see how much their strength had increased.

Seeing two guys who looked exactly like Gu Ding suddenly appear next to him, the Purgatory Demon Tree immediately recognized them as Gu Ding's avatars.

"They're just avatars. At most, they only have eighty percent of your original body's combat effectiveness. Even if there are two more, they won't be able to change the overall situation. Watch me crush them with one blow! "

The Purgatory Demon Tree did not care about the two avatars at all.

Gu Jin and Gu Kong exchanged glances and revealed sinister smiles on their faces. The two of them rushed toward the Purgatory Demon Tree, one on the left and the other on the right.

The Purgatory Demon Tree swung its fist at the two of them, wanting to crush the two avatars.

However, in the next moment, the two of them suddenly accelerated and brushed past the Purgatory Demon Tree.

The Purgatory Demon Tree was stunned for a moment, but it soon realized that there was an intense pain coming from both of its shoulders. It looked down at its shoulders and saw that both of its arms had been detached from its shoulders and were falling toward the ground.

It also quickly realized another terrifying fact. "I can't regenerate. What did you do to me? Those two avatars … "

"They are indeed my avatars, but they are not ordinary avatars. They are Rule Avatars with self-awareness. Moreover, one of them is an extreme Metal Attribute Rule, and the other is a Space Rule. Both of their rules happen to restrain your Regenerative Rule. They left some Rule Power on your wounds and kept destroying your regenerative ability. Naturally, you can't grow new branches, "Gu Ding explained with a cold smile.

"You're shameless. Fight me one-on-one if you dare!" The Purgatory Demon Tree roared angrily.

"Don't be naive. This is a battlefield!" Gu Ding looked at the Purgatory Demon Tree coldly and said to Gu Kong and Gu Jin, "Kill it!"

As soon as the order was given, Gu Kong and Gu Jin attacked the Purgatory Demon Tree without hesitation. Every attack left a wound that it could not heal.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, appeared beside Lilliath and the others in a flash. Neptune had already fed them the medicine.

"What's the situation?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. Lilliath and the others were all unconscious except for Neptune.

"It's not looking good. Both Miko and Lilliath are badly injured. Their bodies are almost completely destroyed, and their vitality is already fading. Becca is also badly injured, and her consciousness has entered a state of deep hibernation. Even if her body is repaired, I don't know how long it will take for her to wake up. Phaser and Huck are slightly better off, but their bodies are also half-destroyed. It'll take a lot of resources and time to repair. "

"Biggie and Ayesha's bodies are also badly injured, and it'll take time to recover. Moreover, they can't fight anyone before their injuries are completely healed."

"Are you okay?" Gu Ding saw that Neptune had suffered the same intensity of attack as Miko and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. As long as my consciousness isn't destroyed and I have enough energy, even if all the particles in my body disintegrate into nothingness, I can reform my body countless times." Neptune finally revealed a secret about himself. He had not deliberately kept it a secret from Gu Ding, but he did not feel the need to say it. His divine power was something that even a King Level powerhouse would be envious of.

"According to what you've said, is there any way to save Miko and Lilliath?" Gu Ding's gaze fell on their almost transparent bodies.

Miko and Lilliath were not physical cultivators. Their bodies were completely energy bodies. The more serious their injuries, the closer their bodies were to a transparent state.

"Under normal circumstances, there's a way. You just have to kill the demon tree and use its vitality to replenish it!" Neptune nodded. "But … the biggest problem is whether Lili and Miko can actively absorb the demon tree's dissipating vitality while their consciousness is completely sealed."

"It doesn't matter if they can or can't, we have to try!" Gu Ding's cold gaze turned back to look at the Purgatory Demon Tree wailing in pain in the distance. There was no trace of sympathy in his eyes, only a cold murderous intent.
