Countless sharp rocks were pierced by the willow branches, turning into pebbles that fell down.
But in the blink of an eye, more and more sharp rocks appeared to fill the gaps, one after another!
For Xia Chen, summoning these rock spikes consumed very little of his stamina, not even as much as he recovered.
So for this skill, Xia Chen is basically like having an infinite mana bar, so feel free to use it!
All fear stems from insufficient firepower!
When firepower is sufficient, no Gyuki are worth fearing!
Just as Xia Chen had predicted, the willow tree grew increasingly weak in the face of his relentless attacks, and gradually began to falter.
At one point, a sharp rock thorn broke through its branches and landed with perfect accuracy on the willow tree.
This attack was like flipping a switch; in the following days, one rock spike after another struck its body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Countless dull thuds echoed, accompanied by a continuous fall of rubble.
The willow tree also retreated under this onslaught; it turned out that this willow tree also "had legs".
Hmm... I didn't disgrace the other trees in this world, otherwise they could all run away but you couldn't, and you'd be laughed at!
Getting back to the main point, wounds began to appear where the rock spikes had struck, and a green liquid slowly oozed from them.
After Xia Chen's attack ended, the willow tree was covered in wounds, with hardly any intact parts visible, and green liquid flowed down its trunk.
It fell onto the black mist below, forming a green lake directly on top of it!
At this moment, the willow tree was also extremely withered, with countless branches drooping limply, looking even weaker than those who reward themselves a dozen times a day.
Suddenly, it began to sway, and countless branches seemed to converge toward the center as if they were consciously moving.
A moment later, a sharp cone made of countless branches appeared before Xia Chen's eyes, its body shimmering with a faint green light.
"Oh ho! What kind of trick is this?"
Xia Chen said calmly, seemingly not taking its attack seriously at all.
The next moment, the enormous, pointed branch suddenly moved and rushed towards Xia Chen.
Looking at the spike that was many times larger than himself, Xia Chen showed no panic whatsoever, and didn't even make a defensive move.
Just as the sharp cone was about to hit Xia Chen Xia Chen, he slowly uttered a few words:
" Dominus Lapidis!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless yellowish-brown specks of light suddenly appeared around Xia Chen, illuminating the surrounding space. They then rapidly surged towards Xia Chen Xia Chen, eventually forming several halos that enveloped him.
The halo kept rotating, with mysterious patterns on it, giving people a great sense of security!
The moment after the halo formed, the spike arrived in front of Xia Chen and struck the halo directly.
"Boom!"
An enormous sound resounded through the sky, and at the same time, an extremely powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing the black mist below to churn continuously.
On Xia Chen's side, the enormous spike was no match for Xia Chen's figure. With such a size difference, theoretically, Xia Chen had no chance of winning.
However, theory and practice often differ greatly. When it comes to body size, bigger isn't always better!
Xia Chen watched as the sharp cone, so close yet unable to advance an inch, showed no surprise.
Just kidding, this is the Emperor's skill, it gives you a real sense of security, okay?
The next moment, Xia Chen had a thought, and his body began to grow larger, soon transforming into a colossal ape that reached the heavens.
At this moment, Xia Chen was even slightly larger than the willow tree, looking down at it from above.
Although he had just said that bigger isn't always better, he suddenly remembered the words of a powerful figure surnamed Lei.
Bigger isn't always better, 100 million...
The willow tree opposite was completely dumbfounded. It couldn't understand why the tiny thing from before had suddenly become bigger than it. Was this... cheating?
However, Xia Chen didn't intend to give it time to think too much, and raised his arm to throw a punch.
"Bang!"
A powerful punch landed directly on its trunk, sending its massive body flying.
Xia Chen had no intention of giving it a chance to catch its breath and continued charging towards it.
"Bang! Bang!"
One dull thud after another followed as countless fists rained down on its body. Xia Chen's storm-like attack lasted for a full minute.
A minute later, the bark of the willow tree had been knocked off in great quantities, exposing the inside, and countless branches were broken off, making it look like a pitiful sight.
After Xia Chen knocked it to the ground with another punch, he didn't continue attacking. Instead, he took a step back, raised one hand, looked at the willow tree beneath him, and said calmly:
" The Planet Befall!"
In an instant, a huge crack appeared in the sky behind Xia Chen, and then an enormous meteorite slowly emerged from it.
Then, Xia Chen gently waved his hand, and the enormous meteorite crashed down onto the willow tree below.
Before even getting close to the willow tree, the powerful winds carried by the meteorite were already causing the black mist below to surge and form a hollow shape in the middle.
The next moment...
"Boom!"
The meteorite struck the willow tree with a tremendous roar, hurling it downwards. Layers of black mist were continuously torn apart.
Once all the commotion subsided, the willow tree had vanished, leaving only a huge, dark, bottomless circular pit below.
Xia Chen glanced at it indifferently, then his body began to shrink, but he did not return to his original size.
He plans to head straight to Gale Valley and, if there are any more bosses, he'll fight them quickly!
As for this tree demon? Sorry, it can live, and Xia Chen will take its surname!
As expected, there was no movement from below for more than ten breaths, until...
"Call out!"
A blinding golden light burst forth from the pit, and the light grew brighter and brighter.
Having witnessed similar scenes before, Xia Chen wasn't particularly curious about this one, but it did confirm one of his suspicions.
It is indeed a collection-type task!
A moment later, the object radiating golden light floated in front of Xia Chen.
The moment Xia Chen reached out and grasped it, another burst of incredibly intense golden light emanated, but Xia Chen had already closed his eyes beforehand.
Just kidding, how could he possibly fall in the same place twice?
As the golden light faded, it was indeed another fragmented object.
Seeing this, Xia Chen took out the fragment he had obtained earlier from the System Space. The moment the fragment appeared, there seemed to be some kind of magnetic force between the two fragments.
They flew directly towards each other and then merged together.
As expected, another burst of golden light flashed, and when the light faded, the fused object appeared before Xia Chen's eyes.
The moment Xia Chen saw the object, although it was still incomplete, he immediately recognized its complete form...
