The Sapling Let Its Guard Down (4)

But even more strips of meat surged in, like a rolling tsunami.

Qin Chu frowned slightly, opened his right hand, and a dark purple lightning bolt rapidly condensed in his palm.

Seeing this, Ietta Heloise's expression changed simultaneously, and in the next instant, Heloise spread her arms wide. "Ice Shield..."

Chirp chirp...

Solid ice shields instantly appeared in front of them, protecting the four figures behind them.

This wasn't to stop the swarming tentacles from ahead, but to block the power of Qin Chu.

The next second, Qin Chu raised his right hand.

That tiny bolt of lightning shot instantly into the sky, and the next second... boom... crack... crackle...

The deafening thunderclap left everyone's ears ringing. A terrifying bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky, instantly illuminating the entire world and dispelling even the thick, crimson fog.

Transcendent Magic, Annihilation Thunder.

However, this Annihilation Thunder was several times larger than that released by an ordinary Grand Sage.

As expected, Qin Chu still didn't want to waste too much time on such trash.

For Qin Chu, who is currently at a high level, unleashing Transcendent Magic is as easy as drinking water.

The lightning struck the monster precisely on the top of its head, and its entire head exploded into countless fragments as if it had been smashed into a watermelon by a hammer.

Even though its head had been blown apart, the monster's screams and wails could still be heard coming from its mouth. Countless tentacles were electrocuted and charred black, writhing and shattering on the ground.

Until the very end, there was not a sound left.

The rolling currents continued to spread across the ground, striking the ice shield and making crackling sounds.

The hard ice shield surface was covered with a dense network of cracks.

Ieta and Heloise exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. They could also use Transcendent Magic, but it was absolutely impossible for them to possess such terrifying power, even the ability to destroy a War God- level monster in one move.

As expected of the master.

Right behind the monster was a bottomless canyon, from which the crimson light emanated.

"Ieta, Heloise, are you two going to stay here?" Qin Chu asked after thinking for a moment.

The two girls shook their heads almost simultaneously; their instinct told them it was safer to stay by their master's side.

Since that was the case, Qin Chu no longer hesitated and resolutely stepped into the empty space. His body, affected by gravity, began to fall from the sky.

I wonder how deep this canyon really is.

One thousand meters, two thousand meters, or even more exaggerated?

Qin Chu could only feel the cold wind howling in his ears. The free fall lasted for almost a minute before he finally saw the ground below.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind surged beneath their feet, pulling them down steadily.

Upon arriving in the canyon, Qin Chu instinctively looked up and gazed ahead.

The next instant, Qin Chu stopped breathing.

There was no thick fog deep in the canyon.

Just a few hundred meters away, a large, crimson, heart-shaped crystal suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chu, flashing with a dazzling red light.

The Evil God's Heart has finally been found.

The heart was dark red, and you could almost feel the scarlet liquid flowing within it.

What truly struck Qin Chu as eerie was that right in the center of that heart was a massive, empty cavity...

The Evil God's Heart has been hollowed out?

Chapter 357 The Sapling Was Careless (4)

The Evil God's Heart had a piece hollowed out?

What's going on?

Who has the ability to cut out the center of such a huge and bizarre heart?

Upon witnessing this scene, countless bizarre thoughts uncontrollably surfaced in Qin Chu's mind.

This scene is not mentioned in the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment. Is it because Second-Generation Jello's heart hadn't been hollowed out when he encountered it, or did First-Generation Jello simply not record it?

Not only Qin Chu, but also Heloise, Ieta, and Antia were shocked by the enormous heart in front of them, each of them raising their heads, their eyes filled with awe.

What a terrifying heart! This heart must be at least several hundred meters tall.

Their gaze couldn't even glimpse the entire heart.

The heart alone is so enormous; what kind of behemoth must own it? When did such a terrifying life form appear on the Skyvault Continent?

Saya leaned on Qin Chu's shoulder, her gaze filled with solemnity. Anyone who saw that enormous heart for the first time would be involuntarily awestruck by its imposing presence.

Even though it's just a heart, it still stands on the ground like a mountain peak.

The oppressive aura emanating from the heart was so terrifying that any living being could truly feel its power; it was not something that any ordinary life could touch or taint.

The entire canyon was dark and devoid of light.

It was as if all the light in the room had been absorbed by that enormous heart; apart from the heart flashing an eerie red light, the rest of the room was completely dark.

Everyone's eyes were completely drawn to the crimson color, and they could no longer see anything else.

His breathing became rapid.

Their long necks were all gently twitching, swallowing non-existent saliva. Whether it was Heloise, Ieta, or even Antia, their eyes seemed to carry a hint of confusion and longing.

A powerful temptation emanated from their hearts, drawing them closer.

Even the oppressive aura emanating from hundreds of meters away was enough to make their bodies tremble.

Deep within their hearts, an uncontrollable surge of savage urge welled up, a mad impulse to rush forward and ravage the heart, then devour it piece by piece.

Even Qin Chu's consciousness became slightly confused. Just then, a burning pain came from Qin Chu's wrist, and the rippling Holy Light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Qin Chu's body shuddered violently, but he instantly returned to normal.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu glanced at the three girls beside him, his eyelids lowered, and a second later, a loud shout echoed in the three girls' ears, the thunderous sound instantly waking them up.

Heloise and Ieta were filled with fear. This place was truly fraught with danger; one wrong step and they could be bewitched and fall into utter ruin.

Antia was filled with embarrassment. As Qin Chu's most important guard, it was really inappropriate for her to be distracted at this moment.

Qin Chu did not blame the three girls; in fact, he felt the same way.

This heart is incredibly strange; even though it's long dead, it still exudes a terrifying pressure and allure.

Qin Chu also felt an urge from time to time to devour all the blood and energy in his heart.

At this moment, the Goddess's Hair on her wrist and the Sapling inside her body were swaying constantly, and even that Divinity was swaying and wriggling slightly.

These experienced players seemed to be barely able to contain their excitement, urging Qin Chu to hurry up and stop dawdling.

Qin Chu felt somewhat helpless.

He shook his head. "The three of you stay here... no, step back a little. If you keep coming closer, you might not be able to handle it."

"I can go there by myself."

Heloise and Ieta exchanged a glance and obediently retreated. They knew their own strength; even if they forced themselves to follow, they would only be a burden to Qin Chu and wouldn't be of any use. Since that was the case, they might as well obediently listen to him.

Antia, however, gritted her teeth and followed Qin Chu.

Qin Chu glanced at Antia with some surprise. He could see the determination in Antia's eyes. After a brief hesitation, Qin Chu didn't say anything and tacitly agreed to Antia's decision to follow.

With each step forward, I could feel the pressure on my body increasing.

The gravity here seems to be abnormally distorted, many times stronger than normal outside; every step leaves a deep dent in the ground.

The chains binding Antia could no longer maintain their swaying motion and all fell naturally to the ground, making a hissing sound as their owner moved.

Both Qin Chu and Antia could feel that they were in a very strange state. Their souls seemed to be writhing restlessly in their bodies, as if they wanted to float upwards and break free from the constraints of their bodies.

The closer the distance, the clearer the perception.

The red light on the giant heart formed a vortex in the sky, like a huge labyrinth, filled with endless, intricate, and vivid darkness and color.

It also resembled a grand palace, adorned with the sun, moon, and stars.

Could this be the place where the owner of this heart once lived?

At this moment, less than a hundred meters from his heart, Qin Chu could feel as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, the weight making his legs tremble.

Every step he took made his body creak and groan, as if the bones in his body were about to break under the pressure.

However, as they drew closer, a strong desire began to grow in Qin Chu's heart.

Qin Chu initially thought that the longing was directed at the heart in front of him, and the blood and energy inside... but it felt different from before.

That was a desire stemming from another level, one that Qin Chu could not comprehend.

Antia, standing beside her, was also moving with great difficulty. Her small hands were clenched tightly, the muscles in her slender arms were tense, and beads of sweat were beginning to appear on her fair cheeks.

However, both Antia and Qin Chu proudly supported their bodies, and even though their legs were trembling, they never bent their knees.

Every step was so difficult.

Without realizing it, we've gotten closer.

Qin Chu could see it more clearly now. The hole in his heart didn't look like it had been cut or gouged out by a sharp blade; it looked more like... it had fallen off naturally?

That hole was located right at the very core of the heart.

The edges are rounded, without any sharp corners.

Some viscous, dark liquid kept dripping from all around, flowing down the edge of the heart, and the ground below the heart had been stained a deep black.

It appeared to be blood, but it was somewhat different from other dark red blood.

Just then, Qin Chu suddenly felt that the Sapling inside his body had reached its limit and could no longer withstand the impulse. It suddenly cheered and broke free from Qin Chu's body.

Seemingly unaffected by the pressure from the enormous heart, it flew straight through the air with a whoosh.

She looked like a little girl who had spotted a fun toy, and excitedly rushed over to it.

Qin Chu wanted to stop him, but he couldn't; he was even a little envious.

Then you see the Sapling float straight up above the heart.

The tree roots landed on the top of the heart, a few branches and tender leaves rustled and swayed, and the root system suddenly spread out in the next second.

Countless dense tree roots completely surrounded and bound the entire heart, causing the Sapling to swell into a towering tree. Then, the trunk suddenly contracted and then forcefully expanded again.

This little thing began to devour the energy in the heart.

But...

The energy in the heart isn't so easily absorbed.

A crimson light spread, and in the next instant, a faint, mournful cry could be heard in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the large root system that had extended from the Sapling retracted as if it had been plunged into a fire or concentrated sulfuric acid.

The Sapling hurriedly detached from the heart and flew back to Qin Chu.

A large number of roots that could not be recovered in time were directly shattered into fine powder by the red light and scattered into the sky.

Looking at this little thing again, several of its leaves have turned yellow and withered, drooping listlessly.

It seems things have been going too smoothly lately, and the Sapling has become careless.

She seemed a little aggrieved. A twig wrapped around Qin Chu's wrist, and two leaves rubbed against the back of Qin Chu hand, as if hoping that Qin Chu could comfort her.

Unfortunately, all he got in return was Qin Chu mockery.

"Who gave you the right to be so arrogant?"

The Sapling was unhappy and quickly pulled back the branches and leaves that were wrapped around Qin Chu's wrist, turning all the leaves so that they were facing away from Qin Chu.

In a daze, Qin Chu felt as if he could almost hear a voice saying, "Hmph, I'm ignoring you."

Qin Chu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
