My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 965 - 787: Wood Spirit Emperor: This Ancestor Has Returned... Huh? (Extended Chapter)
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
A giant, tangled ball of countless dark green vines rose in the distance.
It stood at least several hundred meters tall, with a single vine able to turn a small hill into rubble with a flick.
At the edge of the dark green ball, a small figure with a sky-reaching aura stood.
Punch after punch was thrown, piercing through heaven and earth.
The several hundred-meter-high ball was completely torn apart, revealing a dark red core inside.
Li Erniu seized the moment to attack, shattering the dark red core, only for it to quickly recover under the power of Origin.
Shrill shrieks echoed.
The Vine Monster Plant grew fearful, wriggling away to escape, but how could it outrun Li Erniu? He pummeled it into the ground with punches and kicks, only to pull it out and continue the bombardment.
It was as if Li Erniu were the Demon King, while the small vine appeared weak, pitiful, and helpless under the stormy assault, emitting pathetic screeches.
"Erniu, spare it,"
Yang Yue suddenly remembered something and hurriedly flew forward.
The Vine Monster Plant curled into a ball, reducing to a height of just tens of meters, guarding its core fiercely, yet it dared not flee or cry out, shivering under Li Erniu’s overpowering presence.
Yang Yue released her spiritual power, revealing a harmless smile, "I ask, you answer."
The dark green ball of wool trembled and nodded.
Moments later,
"Yay! There really are clues." Yang Yue spoke, "The little vine said it has devoured many alien races and mutant beasts, absorbing fragments of their memories, which include information about that dominant tribe."
"In the southwest, approximately... um, let me calculate, about more than three thousand miles away."
She added, "It’s a Wood Spirit Tribe, a race possessing the power to enslave demon plants, which the little vine seems to fear."
The ball of vines trembled, unsure whether it was frightened of the Wood Spirit Tribe or of Li Erniu, whose Source Power Qi Flames hadn’t dissipated.
The crucial intelligence was finally obtained.
He Yuanhang came to realize.
These days, they had been flying westward, but repeatedly blundered into dangerous areas filled with demon plants.
Each time, it took considerable effort to fight their way out.
Though the area they just entered had only one demon plant, its danger level far exceeded the more than a dozen previous encounters, and could be considered a forbidden land where even Second Tier mutant beasts would meet certain death!
Initially, He Yuanhang thought Yang Yue was a bit reckless, as if her wilderness survival experience was almost negative.
But now he understood.
It was intentional, to seek out powerful demon plants!
The human Transcendent Second Tier has a lifespan of three thousand years, while demon plants often live far longer than humans.
A strong demon plant might have lived tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, with knowledge far surpassing the Jackal Wolfman Tribe; they’re the perfect intelligence source!
The previous demon plants were too weak and got blasted directly until just now when they caught this robust demon plant. Yang Yue finally spoke, and sure enough, she got the information she wanted.
Strong!
The recklessness was just a facade, concealing a meticulous mind and a detailed plan!
No wonder she’s the City Lord’s esteemed disciple!
He Yuanhang and the others exchanged glances, conveying their admiration with a "666."
Li Erniu scratched his head, this mission unexpectedly went smoothly.
...
In the heart of the Demon Plant Continent, a land rich in resources stood with towering trees hundreds of meters tall.
He Yuanhang and the others spent a few more days before they found this region, the home of the Wood Spirit Tribe!
In the meantime,
as He Yuanhang anticipated, they stumbled into more dangerous and forbidden lands.
After blasting apart demon plants, verifying from multiple sources, they obtained more detailed intelligence and location, soon reaching their destination. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Is the Wood Spirit Tribe just ahead? It doesn’t seem much different from other places."
"No, the trees here are much larger."
"We must be cautious," He Yuanhang observed the surroundings.
"No, we’ve been discovered." Yang Yue suddenly spoke.
The demon plants blended into the forest, difficult to detect, and Yang Yue specialized not in perception and probing, but the Wood Spirit Clan was different, quickly captured by her perception.
Swish, swish, swish—
Figures appeared, some standing, some squatting in the treetops, holding bows or magic wands, faintly surrounding them.
The Wood Spirit Clan had handsome features and slender bodies, somewhat similar to humans, but differences could be seen in areas like their ears and hair, some with leaf-shaped ears, others with hair growing branches like curved horns.
Unlike other alien races with simple attire, the Wood Spirit Clan wove exquisite garments from extraordinary leaves, inscribed with runes, casting halos.
With these Wood Spirit Clan members appearing, the entire forest seemed like a lion awakening.
In the rumbling sounds, the aura of hundreds of meters tall giant trees rose, and Wood Spirit Clan transcendent members flew over on dragon-like vines.
Instantly, tensions were at a standoff.
...
At the center of the Wood Spirit Tribe was a lake known as "Ancestor Lake."
On the sizable island on the lake stood the ancestral land of the Wood Spirit Clan.
From immeasurable epochs ago, they had lived here, until an unspeakable calamity struck, resulting in significant losses for the Wood Spirit Tribe. After countless years of development, they had not fully restored the prosperity of the recorded past but were already the overlords of this continent.
The Wood Spirit Clan had even explored the entire continent, reaching beyond the continent to the end of the sea.
However, the Wood Spirit Clan’s numbers were limited, mostly appearing in the central part of the continent, with only legends remaining in the outer circle of the continent.
On the island at the center of Ancestor Lake stood an ancient tree.
This ancient tree held extraordinary significance for the Wood Spirit Clan and was very precious in itself, though not a demon plant. As countless years passed, the life of the ancient tree was reaching its end.
But a few days ago, unusual waves began emanating from within the ancient tree. However, the ancestral land was located at the core of the Wood Spirit Tribe, and it was safe enough; under normal circumstances, no Wood Spirit Clan members would come, so the unusual state of the ancient tree went unnoticed.
The waves reached a peak on this day, and an invisible spirit emerged from the ancient tree.
In an instant,
the ancient tree, already withered, became even more desolate. A few withered yellow leaves floated down from branches, and after a few breaths, the ancient tree was filled with death energy, creaking as branches split into several-meter-wide cracks, like a cracked cliff face.
New sprouts emerged from the ground before the ancient tree.
The tender sprouts twisted upwards, gradually forming the appearance of a Wood Spirit Clan member.
The invisible spirit swiftly entered the body woven by the tender sprouts, and in an instant, the initially rough body transformed completely into a handsome, noble male Wood Spirit Clan member.
A leaf-shaped mark appeared at the center of his forehead.
It was unknown how long had passed, but the aura on the Wood Spirit Clan member surged, sweeping up all the fallen leaves, only to be perfectly retracted in a moment.
He opened his eyes, looked at his palms, feeling the vitality in his body.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
"I, the Wood Spirit Emperor, have returned!"
He was a former Wood Spirit Emperor from countless years ago.
When he succeeded to the throne, the calamity had already occurred, the source tide was in decline, and the ambitious Wood Spirit Emperor discovered that this continent was the entirety of heaven and earth, constrained by the concentration of Source Qi and resources, unable to break through any further. Unwilling to die with his lifespan exhausted, the Wood Spirit Emperor laid his fallback plan.
He merged his soul into an ancient tree in the ancestral land, using the tree’s power to protect his sleeping soul from dissipating.
He hoped that on some future day, he would be revived.
But he had little confidence in his own plan, having no other choice.
Perhaps the soul under the tree’s protection would still encounter an accident, perhaps he wouldn’t awaken even with the resurgence of Source Qi, perhaps the ancient tree would simply vanish, or perhaps during his revival, someone would disrupt him...
There were too many uncertainties.
The Wood Spirit Emperor himself believed the likelihood of success was less than ten percent.
Yet, he succeeded, and the body reshaped with the ancient tree’s final power perfectly matched himself. Upon revival, he was in his peak state!
"It seems even Heaven is assisting me!"
"The Source Qi has already revived, there are no longer obstacles to breaking through upwards, immortality is no longer just a dream, this Emperor will lead the Wood Spirit Tribe out of this continent, conquer all alien races, and restore the former glory of the Human Race, hahahaha... uh?"
He acutely sensed energy fluctuations erupting on the periphery of the tribe.
What was happening?
Could there still be enemies for the Wood Spirit Clan on this continent?
"Let me, the old Ancestor, see just who dares to cause trouble on this land!"
