"Boom"
The heart, five hundred meters in diameter, pounded violently again, and the war drums thundered. If you looked closely, you could see some fine lightning bolts appearing on the heart. Although they flashed by in an instant, they were indeed lightning bolts.
A powerful suction force erupted from the heart, as if trying to drain all the underground energy in one go. In an instant, an energy that even the Tree of Life could not contain surged out from the ground.
Even if the tree trunk has a diameter of one hundred meters, it still cannot contain such a massive flow of energy, causing some of the energy to dissipate into the air.
Leo sensed the Tree of Life and found that the World Tree branches that were originally buried below had disappeared, leaving only some dry debris.
The World Tree branch obtained from the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard has disappeared.
The energy that just burst forth was the last energy this branch had left.
After two hundred years, the Tree of Life finally absorbed all the energy from the branches of the World Tree and began its transformation!
Under the intense energy, the Tree of Life seemed to open its entire body, with every leaf and branch frantically absorbing the energy.
The enormous heart within the tree canopy was like a super-sized suction machine, drawing in all the surrounding energy. Even though its body was already saturated with energy, it didn't stop moving, continuously absorbing more.
Gusts of wind swept around the Tree of Life Tree of Life, making its leaves rustle loudly.
A strange thing happened: within the canopy of the Tree of Life, streaks of lightning emerged from the void and continuously bombarded the Tree of Life.
These lightning bolts were very small and their power was pitifully weak, at most shattering a few leaves. At first, there were only a few lightning bolts that no one paid attention to, but after a few breaths, the entire tree canopy was enveloped by countless lightning bolts, like thousands of birds singing and competing with each other to open their beautiful voices.
Without hesitation, Leo slashed his own palm open, and blood gushed out.
The bright red blood didn't fall to the ground; instead, it floated in front of Leo.
Leo extended his finger and dipped it into the blood. Using his finger as a pen and the blood as ink, he swiftly wrote countless runes in the air and directed them at the Tree of Life. This was the most crucial moment for the Tree of Life Tree of Life, and Leo had to establish the closest relationship with it at this very moment.
"I went."
Seeing Yaoyao, Yao Yao said something nonsensical and then disappeared.
Leo knew that Yaoyao had gone to the Shadow Space to repair the Godslaying Wizard Robe.
Yaoyao had said before that the moment the Godslaying Staff was repaired would also be the moment the Godslaying Wizard Robe was repaired.
The moment the Godslaying Staff completes its evolution will also be the moment the Godslaying Wizard Robe is complete.
Blood gushed out as if it were free, his internal magic surged, and his Bloodline Power burst forth, constantly stimulating his body to accelerate blood production. Leo remained expressionless as he continuously wrote one rune after another around the Tree of Life.
These runes were struck at the Tree of Life, disappearing into the trunk, branches, leaves, and the beating heart.
The lightning bolts became increasingly dense, no longer confined to the tree canopy, but beginning to spread throughout the entire Tree of Life.
The power of lightning and thunder is no longer limited to shattering a few leaves; its power has increased, and it can now split some tree branches in two.
"Bang bang bang"
The Tree of Life, struck violently by lightning, cracked and broke with a series of loud snapping sounds as pieces of bark and dry trunk fell away, emitting a burnt smell.
At the same time, all the energy in some branches of the tree canopy dissipated, turning into dust under the bombardment of lightning.
As for the fragile leaves, they suddenly burst into flames under the intense and powerful lightning, setting the entire canopy ablaze.
In an instant, the Tree of Life, which had just been in its prime, seemed to have reached the end of its life, turning into a withered tree that could be destroyed by fire and lightning at any moment.
Whether in Leo's perception or from an energy perspective, the energy within the Tree of Life is now surging at an exponential rate. Having shed those excess impurities, the Tree of Life has not withered but has instead become even stronger.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it is welcoming its new life amidst the flames.
When Leo had almost bled to death, he wrote countless runes around the Tree of Life. The huge canopy that was once like a sky canopy was now reduced to only a few branches and leaves still unfurling.
The fire has been extinguished, and the lightning is subsiding.
But compared to its former lushness that could block out the sun and create its own world, the few remaining branches and leaves now resemble a dilapidated house after the Great Depression. They can no longer block out the sun, causing sunlight spots of various shapes to appear on the floating island that has not seen the sun for many years.
There are still ten thick trunks left, several thousand slightly thinner branches, and about one hundred thousand leaves.
It seems like a lot, but placed on Tree of Life that is over 1,500 meters tall, it's like a skin and bones old man, emaciated and easily blown over by a gust of wind.
However, looking at the Tree of Life now, Leo was very satisfied. Even the fibrous vines on its body, which resembled throbbing blood vessels, looked extremely beautiful to Leo.
Looking around the Tree of Life from top to bottom, this is the most magnificent moment for the Tree of Life.
Finally, Leo stopped at the center of the Tree of Life, his entire body surging with power, and a terrifying roar erupted from deep within his throat.
" Body Refinement Wizard, Third Layer Vengeance Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
With a deafening boom, a terrifying giant, eighty meters tall and covered in white bone armor, appeared above the floating island. Its terrifying pressure was released without reservation, and the entire sky above the academy seemed to be shrouded in a violent aura.
Thunder Flash and clouds churned, as if a peerless demon king had been born. The surging power left terrifying white ripples in the air, making all life near the academy clearly visible.
The wizards who were transporting mining supplies back from outside the academy were suddenly gripped by a powerful pressure emanating from above the floating island. Terrified, the Official Wizard were still able to control themselves.
But the Wizard Apprentice were trembling with fear, like prey targeted by a top predator, unable to resist or move, left only with the fate of being obediently eaten.
The team, which had just been flying in the air, immediately landed on the ground. Not knowing what had happened at the academy, they dared not move forward rashly.
"Master Leo has revealed his true form; what immense power this is!"
Meng Jie protected his younger sister, preventing her from being intimidated by their Dean's imposing aura. However, Long Kaqi, who was also escorting supplies back, showed no fear. Instead, he revealed an expression of fascination and longing. Such invincible power was simply the ultimate goal pursued by them Body Refinement Wizard.
"Madman,..."
Meng Jie wanted to add the word "incomprehensible madman," but considering he couldn't beat Long Kaqi, he didn't say it.
Over the years of working with the Body Refinement Wizard, he had come to a complete understanding of them. They were a group of madmen with fighting blood flowing through their Body Refinement Wizard, who spent their days either thinking about how to fight or how to fight.
He had witnessed these Body Refinement Wizard fighting many times; it wasn't just violent, it was brutal.
What Elemental Wizard cannot understand is commonplace in the eyes of Body Refinement Wizard.
Seeing the Body Refinement Wizard staring in fascination at the enormous figure on the floating island, Meng Jie released his aura, enveloping Meng Mengmeng, to comfort his younger sister who was only Peak Wizard Apprentice.
"Don't be afraid, once you advance one level, you'll be able to adapt to the aura of a high-level wizard."
Meng Mengmeng was already at the Peak Wizard Apprentice level. Under the protection of her Meng Jie, she was not affected by Leo's aura at all. On the contrary, like those Body Refinement Wizard, she looked at the figure that she could not see at all with admiration and longing in her eyes.
No one who becomes a wizard doesn't want to possess such powerful abilities...
As Meng Mengmeng was lost in her reverie, she suddenly exclaimed, "That big tree has disappeared!"
Meng Jie and all the wizards looked over, and sure enough, the giant tree, over a thousand meters tall, on the floating island had disappeared.
Without the cover of that enormous canopy, all that remained was a bare floating island. It took some getting used to at first glance. That tree had been there since they arrived in the Wizard World, and they had spent countless hours cooling off in its shadow.
After the tree disappeared, even the dean who had revealed his true form withdrew his Bloodline Power, retracted all his strength, and returned to his ordinary human form.
The energy surge that had just caused the weather to change color quickly returned to normal.
"Let's go. If you want to know what happened to the dean, go back to the academy and ask him."
The wizards who had been transporting supplies quickly returned to the academy, hoping to find out what had happened, but no one knew. The current situation was that no one dared to set foot on the island, fearing they might disturb Master Leo's affairs.
On the floating island, Leo held a slightly curved sapling in his hand.
The sapling is two meters tall, a little taller than Leo. It has many roots at the base and a slightly curved trunk. There is no crown at the top, only some branches with tiny leaves wrapped around a plant-shaped heart.
If you look closely, you'll see that the sapling in Leo's hand is exactly the form of the Tree of Life after it was struck by lightning and burned, shrinking countless times.
Outwardly, it has no aesthetic appeal and looks like dry firewood picked up casually to burn, but with just a slight sense, one can feel a terrifying power emanating from this unassuming sapling.
Leo stroked his new Godslaying Staff, feeling the powerful energy emanating from it. This new staff, rooted in the Tree of Life, absorbing branches from the seventh-level World Tree, and fused with the Godslaying Staff, had already surpassed Leo's understanding, possessing power that even Leo found astonishing.
Both the Tree of Life and the Godslaying Staff share the same fundamental power as Leo. They were both personally crafted and nurtured by Leo, and after their fusion, they naturally developed a perfect synergy with Leo.
