In the vast expanse of forest, outside a wooden cabin, Elder Luo's cloudy old eyes pierced through the endless woods, fixed intently on a figure in black robes who didn't appear particularly robust. His old eyes, filled with a sense of vicissitude and antiquity, held a hint of mystery...
"Laugh..."
High in the sky, the fireball that had been fiercely suppressing the root ball just moments before was now growing dimmer, its blazing flames barely visible, like the twinkling lights of fireflies, almost extinguished...
Replacing the firelight was a soaring, emerald-green light, like a celestial star. Although it was nearly midnight, the dazzling light still illuminated the vast forests as if it were daytime...
As his thoughts left his body, Xiao Yan glanced at the cyan-green light cluster radiating dazzling blue light. The relaxed expression that had just appeared on his face instantly changed, turning into deep solemnity.
These three ancient trees are indeed not easy to deal with. My Heavenly Flames only made them more domineering. This Ginseng Spirit Tree truly lives up to its reputation as an old monster that has existed for many years!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. With Elder Luo's actions, he was truly in a dilemma. This space was self-contained; if Xiao Yan wanted to leave, he would need Elder Luo to let him out—it was impossible for him to do so on his own. As for Gu You, that was out of the question...
He couldn't get out; those three ancient trees before him would definitely not let him go. He had nowhere to retreat...
It seems that Xiao Yan's only way out is to advance, using offense as defense to withstand the bombardment of these three ancient trees. In any case, Elder Luo wouldn't just stand by and watch him be killed by these three ancient trees.
With a helpless shrug, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of difficulty, but then he chuckled softly and said:
"Since we can't avoid it, let's fight it with all our might! I want to see just how powerful this Spirit Tree truly is!"
"Drink!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly let out a low roar like a beast, his arms trembling violently. A terrifying, eerie white flame erupted from Xiao Yan arms, instantly enveloping them. His wide sleeves vanished into nothingness the instant the Xiao Yan appeared...
"Chi Ning!"
With a sharp shout, Xiao Yan's large palm swept across the void in front of him. Wherever it passed, the eerie white flames quickly condensed and, as soon as they were grasped in Xiao Yan's hand, they had already condensed into a large, eerie white ruler.
Holding a giant ruler, the ruler fell with a flick of his wrist, and wherever it passed, the void was replaced by a thick layer of solid ice, giving it an eerie feel at first glance...
Looking at the giant ruler again, beneath the raging, eerie white flames lay ice as hard as black steel, but beyond that ice, a terrifyingly high temperature was emanating, enough to shake the heavens and earth...
Under such terrifying high temperatures, even though they were hundreds of miles apart, the three ancient trees still seemed somewhat fearful. It was the Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan released this time that truly made them feel fear from the depths of their souls!
At this moment, the domineering nature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was fully revealed...
Even so, Xiao Yan still dared not be careless in the slightest when facing these three ancient trees. The power of these three ancient trees could not be resisted by a wisp of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame's essence alone; Xiao Yan himself had to rely more on them.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wisp of Xiao Yan white flame light flashed across his pupils. At the same time, the terrifying eerie white flame quickly enveloped Xiao Yan's entire body, completely protecting him.
Grasp the giant ruler with both hands, and the Dou Qi within his body surges out rapidly, transforming into torrents of Dou Qi qi that flow from Xiao Yan's palms into the giant ruler. The eerie white light emanating from the giant ruler shines even brighter.
When the light emanating from the ruler reached a certain level, Xiao Yan's body vanished along with the dazzling giant ruler...
The next moment, a blinding white light flashed before the massive root cluster, piercing through it and hurtling towards one of the three ancient trees. Its power was terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Before he even arrived, Xiao Yan's hands, gripping the giant ruler, suddenly moved, and the Xiao Yan appeared above his head. A pale white flame emanated from it, casting a radiant light like the bright moon, which condensed into a crescent moon in the void. The icy chill caused everything in the world to shiver.
Without pausing, just as the giant ruler reached Xiao Yan's head, before the space was completely frozen, the icy white ruler, gleaming with a cold luster, suddenly slammed down with tremendous force!
A violent storm of bright silver Heavenly Flames erupted from the giant ruler the instant it fell, transforming into a crescent moon. With unparalleled terrifying power, it traversed the sky, tore through the void, and slammed fiercely towards the three ancient trees.
Although Xiao Yan's attack contained extremely powerful force, it could only be described in three words before these three ancient trees... not enough!
With their power, the era of Half-Emperor was long gone. Today's Half-Emperor, while not necessarily ants, were pitifully weak before them...
Even though Xiao Yan's aura was far stronger than usual at this moment, Xiao Yan was still ultimately just a Three-Star Half-Emperor. In their eyes, such a Low Level Half-Emperor was at most only slightly stronger than an ordinary human...
However, although Xiao Yan's individual strength was indeed lacking, they had to admit that Xiao Yan was not someone they could afford to underestimate. If the Xiao Yan before was an ordinary person, then now, having borrowed the power of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan strength was enough to pose a threat to them...
No one was more aware than the people themselves of the suppression exerted by the Heavenly Flames...
Immediately, as the crescent moon approached, the three ancient trees seemed to have made a prior agreement. A surge of dark green Dou Qi rapidly rose from their robust trunks, and faintly, in the very center of the three ancient trees, a faint human face appeared, which looked rather kind and benevolent.
However, at the same time as this dark green Dou Qi surged out, thick tree roots, like pillars reaching to the sky, suddenly broke through the soil and rapidly coiled and condensed in the high sky, eventually forming a rather domineering dark green vine dragon.
The appearance of the Vine Dragon immediately gave people a feeling of vitality. A surge of life energy overflowed from it, causing Xiao Yan to feel a slight chill when he looked at this huge creature.
But there was no time to think about anything else. The moment the vine dragon appeared, its seemingly insignificant whiskers transformed into sharp thorns, charging fiercely towards the crescent moon...
"Laugh..."
Unfortunately, under the terrifyingly high temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, before the thorn could even reach him, it was already burned into nothingness by the spreading heat.
Even so, the countless thorns continued their relentless assault, as if determined to be cannon fodder, utterly fearless...
After a short while, the vine dragon seemed to grow impatient. As another wave of its thorns was burned away by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the vine dragon at the rear let out a long roar. At that moment, its advancing thorns rapidly retreated into the earth...
Meanwhile, within the vine dragon's body, streams of dark green Dou Qi rapidly gathered in its mouth, and a terrifying aura spread out, causing the surrounding world to tremble slightly.
Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the vine dragon, Xiao Yan's expression grew increasingly solemn. These three old men, even without going all out, were still a force he couldn't handle when they joined forces!
Even with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, if he couldn't separate the three of them in one strike, then no matter how powerful Xiao Yan was, it would ultimately be futile...
"Damn it, getting through here is really difficult. Old man, why don't you just stick to being a blacksmith? Why do you have to create all this trouble? Are you trying to get me killed...?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse under his breath. Elder Luo's actions today had indeed left him somewhat bewildered. Being beaten for no reason would make anyone angry, especially since it was Xiao Yan, who was known for his high spirits.
At one point, Xiao Yan's expression gradually calmed down, and a hint of violence flashed across his gaze as he looked at the vine dragon...
"It's been a long time since I used that move... Today, let's do it again, hehe, I really wonder if I'll still have the same momentum as before..."
He parted his lips slightly, revealing an extremely domineering and cold smile.
The hand gripping the giant ruler tightened slightly, the fingers making soft, creaking sounds. The arm slowly rose, the intense heat of the breath brushing past Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, making the air he breathed feel even drier...
The vortex of energy within Xiao Yan's body, which had just become bright and full, dimmed again at this moment...
His eyes were slightly closed, allowing his mind to become completely calm. However, in the instant his eyes closed, a magnificent lotus flower of flame slowly rotated deep within his pupils...
Outside, Xiao Yan's body was now covered with extremely strange patterns. These patterns were of different colors, yet they were faintly connected to each other, and the slight glow made them no longer appear too eerie...
In the palm of his hand, in a place unnoticed by outsiders, a magnificent lotus mark began to glow with a dazzling light.
As the fluorescent light flickered, the giant ruler in Xiao Yan's hand trembled slightly, as if something was slowly condensing within it...
At this moment, the old man deep within Xiao Yan's body finally couldn't bear to open his cloudy old eyes. A look of astonishment flickered deep within his pupils...
