Chapter 237: Weekly Mission: Valley of Devouring Viridescent



Aleron opened the chest, and it spewed out a single small glowing orb containing a strange painting inside.

He touched as the orb vanished, and the painting emerged, its size being a meter long and half a meter wide.

It was a painting of a big eye with a vertical pupil, extending tentacles from its sides. It looked lifelike as the eye blinked, pulsed with a red glow, and its tentacles also constantly wiggled.

[Painting of Soulen Crux]

-Type: Artifact.

-Grade: Unbound-rank

-Effect: Infuse chakra energy in the painting and face it against the target to curse their soul with [Rotten Apparition].

-> Rotten Apparition: the cursed target will see their loved ones and close people conjuring, attacking their soul and mind with negativity.

"This is not bad," Shelby raised her eyebrows. "Using it on a Paragon-rank will result in swift defeat, and it would greatly harm Unbound-rank ones as well if we use it during combat."

"Yeah, I guess it was worth it exploring this," Aleron smiled. "We got a ton of pure Soul essence, which will make everyone powerful, and this artifact."

...

Aleron, Luna, Kira, and Shelby once again rode on the Starforged Dreambloom Stag as they continued their journey and only stopped after they left the Malevolent Cloud Sea area.

Aleron contacted Midworld and talked with the girls as he asked them who was coming first before finding it was Mei.

He told her to arrive at his Hell and gave her the pure Soul essence refined from those two chaotic ghosts.

After she absorbed it, Mei entered through the portal and arrived on the Dreambloom Stage's back.

"Mei, absorb the soul essence and power up first," Aleron said with a smile as he created a proper and comfortable mattress for her to meditate on the back.

"Mhmm, thank you, Master," Mei said with a nod, her white cheeks bearing a shade of pink. She had removed her mask and was no longer wearing it these days.

"So she is one of your wives, eh?" Luna elbowed Aleron from the side as she looked at Mei while smiling. "She is a cutie."

"That she is, haha."

--

The group continued moving towards their destination.

It took an hour for Mei to finish absorbing the pure soul essence and properly powering up, reaching 1000 foundational points in her Soul path, becoming the peak of Paragon-rank in at least her Soul Path.

They sped up a bit after that and finally arrived at a misty valley between two huge mountains after four hours of traveling.

During the travel, Aleron focused on carving a path in Body Path, figuring out how to evolve Bloodlines into Genome Trees.

He didn't completely figure it out, but he was making progress.

As they arrived at the site, Aleorn saw two people sitting on a cloud above the valley, playing some kind of board game akin to chess, but both sides had 100 pieces, and the board was big.

Powerhouses at this stage would find chess boring because, with their mental prowess, they could easily figure out all possibilities within seconds. As such, the board game being played here was way more complex, with more rules to make it tough and interesting.

Upon sensing the aura, the two Unbound-rank powerhouses stood up and looked at the incoming monster.

"More incoming!" Kira yelled as more of the writhing plants emerged from the earth, moving faster and with more ferocity.

Aleron took charge again, channeling both time and space as he executed the Mystic Skill:

Dragon Vortex.

With a sweeping motion of his hand, the vortex formed in front of the oncoming plant monsters, freezing them in time for a brief moment before a spatial rift formed in the shape of a dragon, warping the creatures into the air and scattering them across the area.

In the next moment, draconic lightning arced from his fingertips, crackling through the air and electrocuting the suspended monsters in mid-air as rumbling crackles echoed. Luna and Kira moved with perfect synchronicity, using the chaos to their advantage. Kira's Symbios Gear shifted again to its blaster form, firing concentrated energy blasts at the more resilient enemies, while Luna charged ahead, her gauntlets slamming into any that got too close, using her star-infused punches to obliterate them.

This valley wasn't too big, and the monsters were unending as they kept coming every minute while they moved deeper into the valley towards its end.

"Recover your energies while I hold them off!" Aleron said after ten minutes of relentless

combat.

After half an hour, they arrived at the heart of the valley-an enormous tree-like monster, its twisted form towering above them. This was no ordinary plant-based monster. Its bark was made of swirling chaotic energy, and its canopy was filled with eyes-pulsing, red, vertical

pupils.

"This thing is the boss," Aleron said, narrowing his eyes. "Let's destroy it."

The final battle began.

The Tree of Devouring Viridescent let out a deafening roar, its vine-like branches shooting

toward them with explosive speed. Aleron moved quickly, warping space to redirect the incoming attacks while summoning elemental storms of fire and ice using Mystic Skills.

He had no limit on creating Mystic Skills and all the counters of powers as his mystic path described him aptly-The King of Over-Encompassing!

Kira darted around, using her sniper and blaster forms in rapid succession to target the

numerous eyes on the tree's canopy, each one exploding into showers of purple and crimson flame sparks when struck. But the tree retaliated viciously, summoning a storm of spores that filled the air with poisonous gas.

Luna, her Symbios Gear glowing, leaped into the fray, her gauntlets morphing to enhance her physical abilities. She shattered the incoming vines with powerful strikes before summoning

a barrage of ice shards and Starfire, striking the tree's vulnerable spots.

"We need to hit its core!" Aleron relayed as he dodged another attack. Luna nodded, gathering her energy as she charged forward. With a powerful leap, she punched directly into the tree's trunk, Starfire erupting from her fist as she made contact. The force sent shockwaves through the ground.

Meanwhile, Aleron summoned his most powerful Mystic Skill-Absolute Stasis, manipulating time and space itself around the tree and completely stopping it. Afterward, he raised his hand and executed another Mystic Skill: Chaotic Shower!

A massive meteor of condensed elemental power combining fire, lightning, and space energy formed before accelerating like a shooting star right on the monster!

"Luna, now!"

Luna jumped back just as Aleron's meteor crashed into the tree's core, detonating with a

brilliant explosion. The tree let out one final, anguished roar before collapsing, its chaotic

energy dispersing into the valley.

[Congratulations for successfully exploring and completing the Valley of Devouring Viridescent's challenge.]

"Good job, girls," Aleron grinned.

He didn't do all the work this time as he also wanted to see Luna and Kira's prowess,

especially with the additional arsenal power that he gave them-the Symbios Gears. Seeing the treasure chest manifesting, Aleron said, "Kira, you want to open it? "Yes!" Kira excitedly moved towards the treasure chest. It was her first time entering a chaotic phenomenon and clearing it, so she was excited.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
