Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 480: Battle with the Tree-man King

Not only Xueyao, but at this moment, Tianyi’s face also turned deathly pale.

The Thousand-Year Treant King has existed for over a thousand years, possessing strength comparable to the Celestial Venerable Realm. Even the weakest Celestial Venerable Realm, they cannot possibly contend with.

The Celestial Venerable Realm, the ninth Great Realm of the Celestial Human Realm, is also the strongest existence within the Celestial Human Realm, considered the supreme among them, with power sufficient to suppress an ordinary Middle Thousand World.

They never imagined that within this Myriad Woods Forest, there could be such a terrifying existence.

To know that this is merely the outskirts of Fallen God Peak, yet it has a Thousand-Year Treant King comparable to the Celestial Venerable Realm.

If they were to venture deeper, wouldn’t they encounter a Tree-man Emperor that has existed for over ten thousand years, comparable to the true Divine Human Realm?

Not daring to have the slightest hesitation, the three figures frantically fled backward.

"Could it be because I killed too many tree-men that this Treant King was drawn here?"

Wang Ruoxie secretly pondered to himself.

In fact, it was indeed because he had killed too many tree-men, especially those ancient ones, that it attracted the only king in this Myriad Woods Forest, the Thousand-Year Treant King.

This Thousand-Year Treant King is at least a hundred zhang in size, from afar it looks like a Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree.

An unimaginably terrifying aura swept out from it, transforming into terrifying storms, howling out.

"The strength of this Treant King is by no means comparable to an ordinary Celestial Venerable Realm. Once it catches up with us, there will be no way out but death."

Xueyao said with an extremely grave expression.

"Fortunately, we didn’t go deeper, otherwise, I fear we wouldn’t even have the chance to escape."

Tianyi also said with lingering fear.

After speaking, his speed suddenly increased a few notches, as if fearing he would not escape fast enough and would be caught by the Treant King and meet his end here.

At this moment, although Wang Ruoxie was also fleeing alongside Xueyao and Tianyi, he was secretly contemplating.

Though he currently lacked the strength to engage in a direct clash with the Thousand-Year Treant King, he nonetheless felt he might still have a hope of slaying it.

After all, his Power of the Five Elements inherently suppressed the Wood Attribute Divine Power of the tree-men, plus his Primordial Fire could cause the greatest damage to the tree-men.

Moreover, his physical body far surpassed that of the ordinary Celestial Emperor Realm, and even isn’t too far off from the true Celestial Venerable Realm.

Most crucially, he had yet to utilize his most powerful means, the Seventh Grade Divine Technique: Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art.

After half a month of practice, he was now able to unleash some of the true power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art.

So as long as he could find the right timing, there’s a great possibility he could kill the Treant King. The divine power crystal within the Treant King’s body surely contains divine power far surpassing that within the millennial tree-men and ordinary tree-men.

If he were to just flee, he would truly feel discontented. Given his current Cultivation Power, reaching the Myriad Woods Forest should be close to his limit. Advancing further would surely bring him face to face with even stronger unique beings.

Thus, he must either escape out of the Myriad Woods Forest and leave Fallen God Peak, or slay this Thousand-Year Treant King, acquire its inner divine power crystal, and raise this harvest to an entirely new level, returning with abundant gains.

"I’m going for it."

With this thought, Wang Ruoxie no longer hesitated, making a decision to hunt and kill the Treant King that pursued relentlessly from behind.

Without delay, he directly turned around and charged towards the Treant King.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, what are you doing? Come back quickly!"

Seeing Wang Ruoxie intending to hunt the Thousand-Year Treant King, Xueyao’s facial expression changed drastically, shouting in panic. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"The fool who overestimates himself, best be killed by the Treant King, saves me the trouble of dealing with him myself."

Tianyi sneered coldly in his heart, thinking to himself.

"Senior Sister Xueyao, you leave the Myriad Woods Forest first, once I kill the Treant King, I’ll come to meet with you."

Wang Ruoxie said to Xueyao, as for Tianyi, what did his life or death matter to him?

"Sigh, I’ll wait for you outside the Myriad Woods Forest."

Hearing this, Xueyao could only sigh, responding.

Of course, she knew that once Wang Ruoxie made up his mind, it was almost impossible to change it, and she also understood that Wang Ruoxie was not a reckless person and would never gamble with his own life.

Although she didn’t know what gave Wang Ruoxie the confidence to attempt killing the Thousand-Year Treant King, she believed that perhaps he really could accomplish it.

Without further hesitation, Xueyao suddenly accelerated, flickering towards the edge of the Myriad Woods Forest.

Tianyi naturally followed closely behind, as he certainly didn’t believe Wang Ruoxie could truly kill the Thousand-Year Treant King. Once the Treant King killed that guy, it would definitely continue to pursue them.

However, Wang Ruoxie taking the initiative to block the Treant King could indeed buy him and Xueyao plenty of time to escape the Myriad Woods Forest safely.

At this moment, the Treant King had already arrived in front of Wang Ruoxie.

"Human, you’ve slain countless of my kin, this king will tear you apart."

The Treant King roared at Wang Ruoxie and then its hand, larger than that of a millennial tree-man, ferociously slammed down towards Wang Ruoxie.

Faced with this Treant King, comparable to the Celestial Venerable Realm, Wang Ruoxie felt no fear; instead, he brimmed with battle intent.

This was, so to speak, his first time truly facing an existence of the Celestial Venerable Realm level. Even with his current Cultivation Power and a physical body far surpassing the Celestial Emperor Realm, he wasn’t too confident he could defeat it.

Gazing at the massive hand slamming down, Wang Ruoxie dared not hesitate, immediately driving his inner mana to the extreme and coagulating a substantial Blood Sword from his Blood Divine Format.

Previously, against those stone-men, tree-men, and even the millennial tree-men, he hadn’t utilized his Sword Dao strength, but now, he had no choice but to wield his strongest means.

Yet, before he could slash with the sword in his hand, the Treant King’s colossal hand grasped his entire body in an instant, then transformed into a cage, trapping him inside.

At the very next moment, thick wooden spikes, akin to sharp blades, condensed from the cage, viciously stabbing towards Wang Ruoxie as if intending to pierce through his entire body.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art."

Wang Ruoxie swung forcefully with his sword, immediately unleashing endless Sword Qi that instantly shredded those wooden spikes.

"Boom..."

Subsequently, the entire cage was also slashed open, countless branches and leaves flying into the air.

"Roar!"

Seeing Wang Ruoxie breaking through the cage, the Treant King roared furiously, then madly swung its giant hands, ceaselessly attacking Wang Ruoxie.

Although the Treant King hadn’t cultivated Martial Techniques, it had survived for over a thousand years. Its command over the inner divine power and offensive awareness had reached an extremely high level.

Plus its power comparable to the Celestial Venerable Realm and a body far stronger than that of a millennial tree-man made every attack it launched burst with terrifying might.

Fortunately, the Treant King’s speed wasn’t very fast, Wang Ruoxie could barely dodge its attacks; otherwise, he would have found it difficult to endure further.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie was suddenly swept by a slap from the Treant King, instantly feeling an incredibly terrifying force slam into his body.
