Chapter 2284 Exploded

The Leaf tribe?

After all the fuss and running around, it turns out it was your doing!

So, what was the Leaf tribe’s purpose?

Could it be… that you lured them here?

Vannes was also puzzled, feeling somewhat like he was following a treasure map only to end up in his own hometown.

He couldn’t help but look at Rudyard, who was guarding outside the temple.

“Rudyard, what’s going on? What are you doing here?”

“Earlier, there were some changes in the cultivation of the sacred tree sapling, indicating signs of mutation and advancement,” Rudyard said cautiously, eyeing the representatives from the various tribes who had arrived with Vannes. “And what about you?”

“I was sent by the Great Elder to investigate the elite aura of the sacred tree on the island. I found that the aura suddenly disappeared from there and appeared here. So, I followed it to investigate.”

Upon hearing this, Rudyard immediately felt suspicious.

How could the elite aura of the sacred tree teleport instantly?

And why did it happen to teleport to the Temple of Incantation?

Regardless, the most important thing now was to immediately get these people to leave.

They shouldn’t linger in the territory any longer.

After some thought, Rudyard said, “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence. The aura of the sacred tree seed that you perceived was emitted by the sapling.”

The representatives of the other three major tribes exchanged glances.

“Is that so? Why do I find it hard to believe?” Klonor, the elder of the Wood tribe, chuckled. “We’ve gone through so much trouble to chase all the way here, and you, the Leaf tribe, just want us to leave based on a mere coincidence? I’m afraid that doesn’t sit well with us.”

“What do you want?” Vannes’ expression turned cold, his gaze fixed on Klonor. “Do you want to fight? I know you’ve always been resentful. If you want to fight, then the Leaf tribe will accompany you to the end!”

“Let us go in and take a look. If the situation is as you say, then so be it,” Klonor’s tone also turned ominous, even carrying a hint of threat. “But if we find out that the Leaf tribe is up to something in the temple… don’t blame us for turning hostile.”

Everyone felt that the Leaf tribe was up to something. Besides, since they had all come this far, wouldn’t it be necessary to go inside and check the situation?

Meanwhile, inside the temple, unlike before, this time when the magic array was activated, Fang Heng secretly adjusted the absorption rate of Abe Akaya’s dimensional energy in the third basement.

Almost a 10:0 absorption ratio!

Nearly all the dimensional energy diffused from the sacrificial jar was absorbed by Abe Akaya!

Soon, two guardian elders in the temple sensed an anomaly.

They couldn’t clearly sense how much the sacred tree sapling had grown, but they could still discern whether it was growing or not.

It seemed like the growth of the sapling had been temporarily halted?

What was going on?

Was there a problem with the triggering of the magic array?

Meanwhile, the energy inside the dimensional jar was being continuously consumed.

The two guardian elders exchanged a glance.

“Humans, stop for a moment,” one of the guardian elders commanded, halting the operation of the magic array.

Tang De, still unaware of what had happened, looked puzzled as he turned to the elder and asked, “Elder, have you noticed any issues?”

“Stop the operation of the magic array for now.”

“Understood.”

Tang De, feeling helpless, waved his hand to signal everyone to temporarily halt the operation of the magic array.

Huh?

What’s going on?

Why hasn’t the magic array stopped yet?

Tang De furrowed his brows tightly.

Despite them ceasing the input of mental strength, the magic array continued to operate!

The other members of the Alchemy Association also grew anxious, occasionally glancing towards Tang De.

They had followed the instructions recorded in the ancient texts to stop the operation of the magic array.

Why did the magic array suddenly become unresponsive?

Tang De quickly injected mental strength again, trying to stop the magic array.

What’s happening?

Why won’t it stop?

Tang De suddenly realized that the magic array was operating out of control.

Instead of stopping, it was accelerating.

The magic array had completely broken free from his control, running wildly!

Zet noticed the anomaly on Tang De and the others, his gaze turning sharper as he looked at Tang De, sternly saying, “Tang De, what’s the problem? Why haven’t you stopped the magic array yet?”

Tang De was already sweating profusely, hastily explaining, “There were some flaws in the original magic array. We just need to slowly stop the release of mental strength.”

Following Tang De’s words, everyone tried to gradually reduce the injection of mental strength.

However, the magic array continued to absorb their mental strength relentlessly.

There was no sign of stopping.

Zet realized that the situation was dire, his voice cold, “Sever the mental strength connection with the magic array directly!”

Hearing Zet’s urging, the Leaf tribe members, who were cooperating with the operation of the magic array, immediately severed the connection.

However, strangely, even after completely cutting off the connection, the magic array continued to operate at a rapid pace!

“Hummm…”

A dark red light overflowed from the central sacred tree sapling of the magic array!

Under the radiance, the sapling of the sacred tree swayed slightly.

This was bad!

Even the sacred tree sapling appeared to be unstable under the light.

“Tang De!”

Zet’s heart skipped a beat as he stared closely at the central sacred tree sapling of the magic array.

This was something more important than his own life.

Absolutely nothing could go wrong!

But it was futile!

Even he could feel that the entire magic array was accelerating at an extremely fast speed!

Continuously accelerating!

The magic array was on the brink of losing control.

“Quick! Stop it!”

“Stop!”

Tang De listened to the constant roars ringing in his ears, his face pale as death.

He couldn’t understand why the magic array was still accelerating, even though he had stopped it according to the instructions, and even the mental strength input had ceased. It simply didn’t make sense.

Suddenly, the central sacred tree sapling continued to emit violent power ripples, and it seemed like the ripples were about to erupt completely.

“Zet, something’s wrong with the sapling!” the two guardian elders sensed the increasingly erratic ripples emanating from the sacred tree sapling and immediately moved forward, their first instinct being to protect the sapling.

Ignoring the magic array altogether, the two of them simultaneously tried to remove the sapling from within the magic array.

However, the moment their hands touched the sapling, their pupils contracted.

What!?

The sapling exploded right before their eyes!

“Boom!!”

With an extremely powerful shockwave, a burst of green light erupted before them!

Their bodies were affected by the close-range impact, and they were thrown backward uncontrollably!

The explosion rapidly spread outward!

Starting from the sacred tree sapling, the entire alchemy magic array shattered into pieces!

The force of the explosion also pushed Zet backward!

How could this be?

Zet’s mind went blank.

How could the sacred tree sapling explode like that?

It was impossible!

The dust and debris from the explosion obscured his vision, and in a daze, he saw a figure.

A figure wearing a mask.
