Chapter 355: Chapter 231: Ancient Blue Demonic Tree

Translator: 549690339

Chu Mu lifted his head, looking up at the giant demonic tree in front of him. His heart was churning with surprise. He hadn’t expected the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree to be so enormous.

Its head towered above the tree’s crown. Its huge hands clearing away trees as if they were mere straw. Every step it took with its massive wooden feet made the entire flower forest shake!

“Disperse!” Chu Mu ordered his soul pets.

Mo Ye naturally sensed the power of the ancient demonic tree. The nine crown flames ignited and swirled around its body, rotating rapidly around its hooves. Next, the intense flames burst out, and Mo Ye’s body grew in the midst of the burning, and its nine magnificent tails flaunted their presence as the flames danced around.

“Ting dang Ting dang”

As Mo Ye transformed into the Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox, Lingyin Qie let out a soft moan, apparently startled by Mo Ye’s imposing aura and the intense heat of the flames.

One of Mo Ye’s tails always wrapped around Lingyin Qie, resembling a flower demon girl, not giving her a chance to escape. As Mo Ye’s long tail swayed, Lingyin Qie was also shaken back and forth…

“Oo”

The Ancient Blue Demonic Tree rapidly locked onto Mo Ye with its eyes and, with its massive hands, aggressively slapped downwards from mid-air, demonstrating its formidable power!

“Mo Ye, Nine-Tailed Illusion!”

Like a white cloud rolling, Mo Ye’s body mysteriously moved thirty meters to the side amidst the fluttering silver, avoiding the demonic tree’s giant arms’ attack. The arms landed on Mo Ye’s former position, creating a large pit, but they failed to hit Mo Ye.

“Mo Ye, you distract it.” Chu Mu said.

“Woof Woof~” Mo Ye nodded. Just like when it was forcibly dragging the Ghost Dome King away before, this time, Mo Ye started running with Lingyin Qie in tow.

“Oo”

The Ancient Blue Demonic Tree was incredibly enraged. With furious strength, it broke through the twenty more meters tall trees that blocked its path with its massive arms and took terrifying strides forward, continually releasing skills towards Mo Ye!

“Demon Tree, Piercing Branch!”

The Demon Tree Warrior was only three-meter-tall, looking much like a humanoid warrior with wood armor on. In comparison to the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, it was significantly smaller.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s arm rapidly elongated, and while the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree had its back to it, it successfully thrust its Piercing Branch into the massive trunk of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree.

“Life Siphon!” Chu Mu gave the Demon Tree Warrior another order.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s life force was currently fully charged, and continuing to drain life was equivalent to using a soul core. If it drained a powerful Soul Pet, it would be like consuming a Soul Crystal, potentially leading to immediate growth…

The Demon Tree Warrior’s Piercing Branch began to squirm, but when it truly started to drain, it discovered that it was not draining the life of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, but merely some flakes from its wooden skin…

“Young Master, your Demon Tree Warrior couldn’t even break its defense, let alone drain life. This Ancient Blue Demonic Tree has already mastered the preliminary class of Ran Wood, and its defense has reached level eight. It completely ignores your Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks,” Master Li said.

Chu Mu had realized this point when Demon Tree Warrior’s Life Siphon failed. He promptly commanded Zhan Ye to find an opportunity to use the Dark Erosion skill to corrode the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s defense.

“The Ancient Blue Demonic Tree is a peak Soul Pet of the commander level. Even without strength enhancements, its combat power is much higher than other commanders. Moreover, it’s a wood element soul pet. Your two Soul Pets can, at best, only tickle it…” Master Li added.

Chu Mu didn’t pay any attention to Master Li’s remarks and jumped onto the back of Zhan Ye, trailing behind the advancing Ancient Blue Demonic Tree.

The Demon Tree Warrior was intelligent, knowing it might not be able to catch up with the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree due to its slow speed. Since the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree ignored its attack, it decided to use the Piercing Branch to latch onto the huge creature and let it carry it around!

The Ancient Blue Demonic Tree ignored Chu Mu’s two Soul Pets, providing a great opportunity for Zhan Ye.

Zhan Ye’s running speed was not too slow, and after using Dark Strike, it quickly approached the massive foot of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree.

“Demon Tree!” Chu Mu looked back at the Demon Tree Warrior. The Demon Tree Warrior quickly understood Chu Mu’s intention, and one of its arms swung at the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s large leg.

Zhan Ye leapt onto the Demon Tree Warrior’s extended arm, used it to spring to the other, higher wooden arm.

“Black Armor Thorn!”

Chu Mu also jumped up, sliding down the Demon Tree Warrior’s arm onto its body. When Chu Mu left Zhan Ye’s back, the Black Armor Spikes on Zhan Ye’s back all sprang up, fiercely stabbing into the back of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree!

The Black Armor Spikes ignored defenses, making them Zhan Ye’s most effective weapon in close combat. The nearly one-meter-long Black Armor Spikes ruthlessly stabbed into the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, making it let out a long howl!

“Life Siphon!” Seeing a section of the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s back becoming corroded, Chu Mu decisively commanded the Demon Tree Warrior to thrust its Piercing Branch into the area where the defense had been eroded!

“Puff! Puff!!!” The two Piercing Branches pierced the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s body. The branch began to squirm, and the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree’s life began to fade…

“Oo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

After being wounded, the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree let out another exasperated roar!

Following that roar, numerous stomata suddenly appeared on the bark of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree, and out of these stomata sprouted countless vines that resembled whips!

Those whip-like vines grew wildly, quickly ensnaring the Battle Ye that had injured it. Battle Ye didn’t manage to dodge in time and was tightly bound by these whip-like vines while still in mid-air!

The whip-like vines began to tighten, cruelly constricting Battle Ye’s body and twisting its ink armor out of shape!

If it had been any other Level 6 Commander, they would have been strangled to death by such intense constriction.

Luckily, Battle Ye’s vitality was six times stronger than ordinary Soul Pets, which is equivalent to the vitality of a middle-ranked Seventh-rank Commander.

“Rapid Freeze!”

Muttering the spell, Chu Mu swiftly cast the Soul Skill he had not used in a long time.

Frosty cold air formed in Chu Mu’s palm and, as Chu Mu waved his hand, this frigid cold headed towards the thin whip-like vines that bound Battle Ye. The frost slowly froze the whip-like vines.

Chu Mu didn’t need to completely freeze these whip-like vines, but rather only needed to use this freezing effect to eliminate the terrifying resilience of these thin vines and make them rigid and brittle instead.

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

With a roar, Battle Ye’s ink armor spikes extended out again. After these ink armor spikes were thrust into the rigid and brittle thin vines, they directly shattered them into pieces. As Battle Ye unfolded its body, all the whip-like vines were broken.

In the process of being bound and breaking free, Battle Ye had probably spent three to four seconds, during which the Demon Tree Warrior had siphoned off quite a few life forces.

However, the life force of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree was also not ordinarily massive. Three to four seconds of siphoning seemed to be less than one-tenth of its life force, and its attention remained on Mo Ye…

“Mo Ye, Nine-tailed Flame!” Chu Mu too realized that it was not going to be easy to kill this Ancient Blue Demon Tree, which had an exceptionally strong life force and defense power, simply relying on the Demon Tree Warrior and Battle Ye. So, he commanded Mo Ye as well to join the battle.

“Woooooooo”

Mo Ye, wrapping Lingyin Qie’s tail, swung suddenly and flung Lingyin Qie high into the air. Their nine tails were quickly attached by the blazing Crown Flame as they ran. When the Crown Flame reached its peak, it savagely swept towards the Ancient Blue Demon Tree!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh”

The double heat wave of the Demon Fire Evil Flame and Blood Flame invaded and struck the body of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree directly. The Ancient Blue Demon Tree, which was horrified of the flames, immediately let out a painful scream, and its arms waved frantically to put out the fire.

“Demon Tree, Wood Finger Prison!”

The Demon Tree Warrior slapped its palm on the ground, and its ten fingers extended into the ground. A moment later, ten wooden fingers like chains appeared around the Ancient Blue Demon Tree. Rapidly soaring to nearly thirty meters in the air, they cover down from the top of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree!

The wooden fingers were not part of the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, so they could withstand the burning of flames better than the other parts. Soon, these chain-like wooden fingers turned into fiery chains, straight from the ground, enveloping the twenty-meter tall Ancient Blue Demon Tree.

“Pet Charm – Heavenly Flame Rite!”

The Charm – Heavenly Flame Rite on Chu Mu’s body began to burn. Chu Mu held up two balls of blazing Charm – Heavenly Flame with both hands, chanting the spell…

“Pulled apart Pulled apart”

The Wood Finger Prison was cracked by the wildly rampaging Ancient Blue Demon Tree, but by the time this happened, Chu Mu’s chant had already been completed!

“Woooooooo”

Mo Ye’s Heavenly Flame Rite had also been accomplished. A quiet beam of white, red, and blood-colored light fell from above the Ancient Blue Demon Tree!

“Bang!!!!!!”

Upon crashing, the Ancient Blue Demon Tree’s body and the ground both suffered severe damage!

“Whoosh!!!!!!!!”

The Flame Dragon roared, and the three different colors of Demon Flames overlapped, becoming even more terrifying in power. Even the massive body of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree couldn’t withstand the dancing of this Heavenly Flame Rite Dragon. The body was dyed in flame and shook violently, and the tree was heavily blown to the ground.

The flames were inherently strong against wood element Soul Pets, and the power of Chu Mu and Mo Ye’s Heavenly Flame Rite was extremely horrifying!

After the Ancient Blue Demon Tree was blown away, it was obviously severely wounded. Amidst the blazing flames, it got up painfully and its roar echoed throughout the flower forest…

Mo Ye’s silver eyes were looking indifferently at the Ancient Blue Demon Tree burning in the Heavenly Flame Rite. One of its tails seemed to have a life of its own, stretching out and rewrapping Lingyin Qie on the tail.

Lingyin Qie was only Third Rank, and for Mo Ye to deal with her was like a grown-up dealing with a three-year-old child. Lingyin Qie simply couldn’t escape Mo Ye’s control…

“Young Master, the fruit of the Ancient Blue Demon Tree is in its body, as are the Soul Crystals, and they are all inside its body. Try not to kill it with fire, otherwise, these items might all be destroyed. The Demon Tree Warrior’s Life Siphon can absorb the life energy of high-level Soul Pets. This Level 8 Ancient Blue Demon Tree’s life force is very beneficial to it and, if absorbed, it might grow slightly stronger.” Master Li reminded Chu Mu. (To be continued.
