Tragic

"Could it be that the power of the Divine Tree cannot affect us, and is only effective against Soul Beast?"

Upon hearing this, dozens of people fell silent.

If that's the case, then what's the point of them coming here?

They risked their lives to come here really to maintain peace on the mainland? Don't be ridiculous, Titled Douluo is laughing.

If they hadn't known in the first place that the Divine Tree had the ability to bring the dead back to life, they probably wouldn't be here now.

Humans are inherently greedy, especially towards those with top-tier abilities.

Even if a human cultivates to the Limit Douluo, they cannot become a god; their lifespan is only a few hundred years. And becoming a god is extremely difficult.

Therefore, the Divine Tree became their goal. Possessing the Divine Tree meant that even if they did not become gods, they might still be able to obtain a lifespan as long as the gods.

These are the reasons that have brought them together here.

But now, reality has slapped them hard in the face, and the current speculation is that they may not be able to receive the blessing of the Divine Tree at all.

For a time, many of these Titled Douluo began to have second thoughts.

I don't think so.

While these powerful figures remained silent, another voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that it was Zhuang Yusen, another elder of the Sea God Pavilion of the Shrek Academy.

"Elder Zhuang, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Shaoze immediately pressed for an answer, since the ability to bring the dead back to life is related to life itself. As the owner of the Tree of Life Martial Soul and a level 96 healing and support-type Super Douluo, Zhuang Yusen's understanding of life attributes must be more thorough than anyone else's.

Zhuang Yusen continued, "The power of the Divine Tree must be able to affect us. The reason we haven't obtained this power yet is perhaps because we are limited by time."

"We haven't been in contact with the Divine Tree long enough. Perhaps, even now that we're here, the Divine Tree has already begun to transform our bodies."

After he finished speaking, the tent remained silent for Jiujiu, everyone weighing Zhuang Yusen's words.

"Now, let's begin the vote. Should we continue our attack on the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Xuanzi reverted to his serious demeanor, his gaze sweeping over the dozens of people present.

"Continue."

"Continue..."

Everyone chose to continue, even those who initially wanted to back out, hesitantly raised their hands.

"In that case, let's rest for the morning and attack immediately this afternoon. We can't let those cunning Soul Beast attack us at night again."

"For peace on the mainland."

"For peace on the mainland!!"

Afternoon.

Xuanzi, possessed by the Godly Taotie Bull, leaped into the sky and roared.

"Attack! Drive away the Soul Beast and seize the Divine Tree!"

Once the order was given, the vast army of Soul Master began to rush towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

On the other hand, the Soul Beast have dispatched an army of Soul Beast that are thousands or tens of thousands of years old.

Just as the human Soul Master were about to rush into the Star Dou Great Forest, the King of Ten Thousand Monsters gave an order, and the group of Soul Beast, like wild horses, trampled towards the army of Soul Master.

"Defense-type Soul Master, step forward and hold the line!"

At this moment, a certain titled commander began to give orders, adjusting the formation. Some mid-level and high-level combatants stepped to the forefront of the army to reduce the impact of the charging Soul Beast.

The thousand-year-old Soul Beast were relatively easy to deal with, but they started to become somewhat powerless when they reached the ten-thousand-year level. Only a powerhouse above the Soul Emperor level could immediately turn them into blood mist. This was especially true for defensive Soul Beast, as the damage they inflicted on them was far less than their recovery speed.

Even when facing these thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, apart from the Titled Douluo, everyone else gradually began to feel the difficulty.

Those Soul Master at the second or third ring level, although they could basically only serve as cannon fodder here, gradually realized that...

Although they couldn't deliver an attack that would instantly kill these millennia-old beings, they could temporarily control them, which relieved a lot of pressure on the others.

I don't know how much time passed.

The edge of the Star Dou Great Forest was stained red with blood. There were no corpses of Soul Beast on the ground, but the remains of human Soul Master were scattered everywhere.

The thousand-year-old Soul Beast were almost all dead by this time, while the Soul Master died were mostly ordinary people and first or second-ring Soul Master. Of course, there were also some mid-level combatants who were ambushed and killed by Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but not many.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

After just the first wave of battle, most of the Soul Master were already exhausted.

These immortal Soul Beast are far too troublesome. If they were ordinary Soul Beast, in the past, this team might have been able to push them all the way to the edge of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest by now.

The low-level Soul Master have almost all died or been injured, and they can only hold off some thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

So far, none of the high-level combatants from the Soul Beast side have been deployed, not even the 100,000-year-old Soul Beast have made their appearance, let alone those few Ferocious Beast.

"Emission!"

A group of taxi drivers from the Four Rings and fifth ring roads, all equipped with level-four Fixed-Loaded Soul Cannon Shell, were attacking the ancient armored rhinoceros in front of them, raising a cloud of dust.

It looks like it's working well.

But when the smoke cleared, they discovered that they hadn't caused any damage at all; instead, they had angered the rhinoceros, and it instantly tossed them into the air.

Xuanzi, who was nearby, immediately flew over as well.

He maintained his Martial Soul Possession state throughout, and then he unleashed several punches on the rhinoceros, finally blasting it into oblivion with a final explosion.

They then went to the vicinity of other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"Phew... Brother, these Soul Beasts are disgusting! They're practically invincible. Shall we just run away?"

"Are you out of your mind? What if we don't get killed by the Soul Beast, but instead get blasted to smithereens by those Titled Douluo in the sky?"

A Four Rings soldier, panting heavily, said to another soldier behind him. The soldier's expression changed upon hearing this. He looked around and, relieved to find that no high-ranking officers were nearby, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is it that those Soul Beasts are unkillable, while we are pulverized with the slightest touch?"

"What else could it be? Because of the Divine Tree..."

Before he could finish speaking, a small avian Soul Beast pierced his skull while flying at high speed.

"Brother!"

Upon seeing this, the soldier's eyes turned red, and he roared as he glared at the bird.

Unfortunately, the bird was very small and flew very fast. The Four Rings soldier couldn't even touch its shadow before the bird pierced his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to darken again.

But the battle continues.

More and more human Soul Master fell to the ground, and the bloodstains left behind by countless Soul Beast being smashed into bloody foam gathered together, making the battlefield look like a river of blood.
