The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2075: Ancient Tree Inheritance Breakthrough

Luo Dejie’s body suddenly shook, and a black halo appeared around him.

The attacks of Gu He and the others, as well as Jing Yan’s attacks, were all blocked by the black halo. Luo Dejie remained largely unaffected.

"I want you all dead! Every single one of you must die!" Luo Dejie roared.

His level was much higher than Gu He and the others, even much higher than Jing Yan. If they were beyond this Chaos, killing Jing Yan and the others would be as easy as a thought. But within this Chaos, he was besieged by these beings he considered insignificant, and he was extremely furious.

Wave after wave of black energy was continuously unleashed by him, sending Jing Yan and the others flying.

Jing Yan’s injuries were already very severe, and the recovery ability of the Ninth Layer Ancient Tree Inheritance was becoming less effective.

"Our young master needs our help, Ancient Tree Spirits, follow me to kill!" The Ancient Vine Elder’s body had countless dark green vines dancing around.

He charged toward Luo Dejie at an incredible speed.

Hundreds of Ancient Tree Spirits within the Ancient Tree Space showed no hesitation.

"For the Primordial Chaos Tree, for the Guardian, kill!" Hundreds of Ancient Tree Spirits, whose strength at the weakest was equivalent to the Controller Realm Chaos Creatures, all rushed towards Luo Dejie.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Numerous figures streaked across the void.

The Ancient Tree Spirits fought without fear of death.

"Damn reptiles, damn it!" Luo Dejie immediately saw the Ancient Vine Elder and the others, his face becoming clearer, contorted in anger.

"Die!" Luo Dejie waved his hand, sending out a black wave of light.

The black energy wave struck the Ancient Vine Elder.

The thousands of vines surged by the Ancient Vine Elder’s full-power eruption were quickly dissipated by more than half. The Ancient Vine Elder’s aura weakened accordingly.

"Brother Gute..." Jing Yan looked at the Ancient Vine Elder, she whispering softly.

"Kill!" The Ancient Vine Elder’s mouth kept dripping blood, but he continued to charge forward.

Vines as if connecting the heavens and the earth fiercely lashed towards Luo Dejie.

However...

These vines could not penetrate the black halo around Luo Dejie’s body.

"Thump thump thump!" Luo Dejie’s eyes surged with killing intent as he continuously shot out black energy waves.

With each black energy wave, an Ancient Tree Spirit was killed.

By the time the Ancient Tree Spirits got close to Luo Dejie, more than twenty had already been killed. Those that remained launched their most ferocious attacks on Luo Dejie.

Their attacks continuously bombarded the black halo around Luo Dejie’s body.

"A bunch of ants!"

"A bunch of damn reptiles!" Luo Dejie’s roars echoed.

"Huh?" Jing Yan’s eyes flickered slightly.

The continuous deaths of Ancient Tree Spirits pained Jing Yan, but there was nothing he could do. However, as the Ancient Tree Spirits attacked Luo Dejie, Jing Yan sensed something had changed. Luo Dejie’s aura seemed to have weakened slightly. Although the drop wasn’t significant, it was still something.

"Could it be..." Jing Yan thought to himself.

"This Luo Dejie’s strength is extremely powerful. Even my attacks pose no threat to him. However, within this Chaos, it seems he cannot quickly replenish his energy. His attacks and defenses consume energy. This energy consumption, at least in a short period, cannot be recovered. If we can continuously deplete his energy, perhaps... there’s hope!" Jing Yan mused.

"Kill!" Jing Yan shouted loudly, as the Ice Flame Sword slashed out again.

The massive Sword Light exploded on the black halo surrounding Luo Dejie.

At this time, one of the six apostles following Luo Dejie was killed by Ma Yi Ancestor and several Chaos Creatures, along with over a dozen Ancient Tree Spirits. Five apostles remained. Although these apostles were fierce, their numbers were significantly fewer than that of Ma Yi Ancestor and the others.

The fierce battle continued.

"Die!" Luo Dejie roared.

A black wave of energy struck Ancient River. Ancient River could no longer hold on, and as his physical body gradually disintegrated, he was killed.

After two breaths, Ancient Mountain was killed.

A moment later, the Ancient Vine Elder was obliterated by a black energy wave.

The Ancient Tree Spirits continued to die in battle.

And Jing Yan also endured two more attacks from Luo Dejie.

"Faster, faster!" Jing Yan gritted her teeth, her body trembling violently.

The injuries on Jing Yan’s body were already extremely severe. Even if the battle ended, recovering from her injuries would be a troublesome task.

"Lord Taoist, we’ve arrived!"

Ye Zhen and other Controller Level Chaos Creatures arrived.

Controllers from Hongjun Heavenly Palace, Boundaryless Spirit Mountain, Wansheng Valley, and Luoshui Divine Palace had almost all arrived. Controllers from the various giant Chaos Countries also reached the scene. Chenyuan Emperor led the charge, and after greeting Jing Yan, he joined the encirclement to kill Luo Dejie.

"Kill the invader!" The Controllers all roared in fury.

The Controllers among the Chaos Creatures primarily used the laws to unleash Secret Techniques from a distance to attack Luo Dejie. Unlike the Ancient Tree Spirits, they did not need to approach him.

As more Controllers joined the encirclement and attacked Luo Dejie, his aura weakened noticeably faster.

But even so, killing Luo Dejie remained a very difficult task. From the beginning of the battle until now, Luo Dejie’s aura had only diminished by about one percent. They were still far from killing him.

Another apostle was killed.

As the number of apostles decreased, the remaining ones found it increasingly hard to hold on.

Sword Emperor Lishu also killed the apostle she was fighting. Without any pause, she redirected her attack towards Luo Dejie. A swath of crimson Sword Light fell on the black halo surrounding Luo Dejie’s body.

"Hurry up! At this rate, we could all be killed, and Luo Dejie would still live!" Jing Yan screamed internally, agitated.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, Jing Yan felt a special sensation within her body. She then discovered that the Ancient Tree Inheritance she had mastered had undergone a significant change.

She was slightly stunned.

"This is..." Jing Yan activated the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

"A breakthrough? The Ancient Tree Inheritance has broken through? This... I see! The Ninth Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance was indeed not the highest level. This Secret Technique of the Ancient Tree Inheritance is inherently beyond the Hongmeng Dao Pattern and other Chaos Level pinnacle Secret Techniques." Jing Yan realized.

After mastering the Ninth Layer of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, she always felt something was missing, but no matter how she tried, she couldn’t further enhance the power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance. Yet today’s battle unexpectedly allowed her to subconsciously break through the Secret Technique of the Ancient Tree Inheritance.
