The light barrier above the New Hope Gathering Place was torn apart, but in the direction of the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree, another black barrier was conjured from thin air.
The overwhelming dark power connected the sky and the earth, transforming into a zone of life restriction, completely enveloping a radius of several thousand meters, including the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree.
The demonic creatures outside seemed to have lost their minds, recklessly charging into the dark world, followed by a chilling sound of chewing echoing everywhere!
Inside the dark world, dark beasts with round heads and small wings roamed around. Whenever a demonic creature rushed into the dark world, the dark beasts, like sharks smelling blood, launched violent attacks on the approaching enemies, devouring every shred of flesh and bone!
Although the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree had strong recovery abilities, Wen Yu's dark world was not weak either.
On one hand, the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree was cut off from its source of "blood supply" by the dark world; on the other hand, all the demonic creatures that rushed into the dark world transformed into nutrients that replenished Wen Yu's strength. As their strengths shifted, Wen Yu's attacks became increasingly ferocious!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Continuous waves of dark energy dispersed everywhere, and Wen Yu stood atop the dense canopy of the tree, pruning its branches. In less than ten seconds, the massive treetop was left in tatters, resembling a rough barber's botched haircut.
The remaining branches around launched increasingly fierce assaults, yet they all crumbled before the defensive black light in front of Wen Yu. The purple mist emanating from the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree grew thicker, and the terrifying corrosive power even melted the ground into a deep pit. However, when the purple aura encountered the black light, it was devoured entirely as if it had met its nemesis.
Cut off from its source of recovery, the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree appeared so vulnerable before Wen Yu at this moment...
"Buzz~~"
Another semi-circular black light blade condensed out of thin air, which Wen Yu swung fiercely, striking down on the treetop. The Cataclysmic Ancient Tree beneath him let out a mournful cry, its massive body shaking violently as it felt the tremors akin to an earthquake. Wen Yu unleashed another black light blade!
Being passively attacked,
With no power to resist!
Just as Wen Yu was gathering his power, preparing to quickly deal with this giant, an unexpected change occurred!
...
Without a steady stream of demonic creatures, the purple vines gushing from the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree's trunk naturally lost their purpose.
Dark beasts were similar to elemental life forms; they had no physical body. Coupled with the terrifying dark devouring power, the vines were utterly helpless against these small creatures.
Thus, the now useless vines naturally retracted into the trunk, and as the vines disappeared, the cracks on the trunk slowly closed. One by one, the grotesque lumps of the tree spewed out thick purple smoke, then began to swell.
Until a certain moment!
"Poof..."
A dull explosion sounded, and one of the lumps on the trunk of the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree burst open like a pus-filled sack. In the next second, countless vines intertwined rapidly, forming a deep purple, strange egg-shaped object. A purple giant egg, about a person's height, squeezed out from the exploded lump, then began to morph.
First, four slender arms sprouted, followed by a head with just a large mouth. Moments later, the giant egg completely transformed into a purple humanoid monster. Then, this bizarre life form stretched its body, leaped up, and with sharp claws, firmly gripped the trunk of the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree, climbing towards the location where Wen Yu stood atop the treetop with agility akin to that of a monkey.
As soon as the first purple humanoid monster completed its transformation, it seemed to sound the starting gun, causing countless lumps on the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree to explode. One after another, strange creatures emerged from the lumps, and in the blink of an eye, the massive body of the Cataclysmic Ancient Tree was covered with these bizarre entities.
