"The urgent thing is to kill every last one of those beasts! Capture the king to catch the thieves—we need to seize that Young Master first!"
At his words, the Inner Sect elders of the Mountain-Shaking Immortal Sect, who had been preparing to uproot the Giant Ancient Tree, clearly sensed something strange behind the whole affair.
Without hesitation, they stopped what they were doing and plunged into the huge Stone Caves riddling its trunk.
A few breaths later, the sect's cultivators seized one massive Titan Python after another from the Stone Caves.
They grabbed the beasts by their tails, hauled them out by force, then swung them in great circles and smashed them against the Giant Ancient Tree's hard trunk. Blood and shredded flesh scattered everywhere.
The dark trunk, once like a mass of jagged rock, was stained crimson.
Seeing how fiercely his Inner Sect elders were fighting, Cao Yuxiu, a Dao Seed, naturally refused to lag behind.
The next instant, the rough short tunic he wore burst apart. With only a pair of Red Briefs left on his body, he looked almost like a superhuman.
He drove both arms into the Giant Ancient Tree's trunk as though he could not feel pain.
Beneath the ancient tree's canopy, which blotted out the sun and sky as though it had become the Firmament itself, even his powerfully built body looked like an ant.
But the moment his corded muscles tightened and he exerted force with both arms, something changed.
A series of cracking sounds came from the darkness covering the entire sky, as if it could no longer bear the strain.
At the same time, a sliver of light slowly filtered through the dark Light Barrier Cao Yuxiu had torn open by force.
"That strength is a little too terrifying!"
