Farther in their direction, they found that there were less and less caves. As the caves converged, it was as if they were all coming together.
All of the cultivators and sects that went in different directions were now coming together. However, they found that the tree roots became stronger and stronger. The ancient roots appeared more often, and with even more power. And further in, even Royal Nobles couldn’t handle them.
Such a situation forced the sects to work together, and all of the Royal Nobles worked as one. But even then, it was still not very favorable.
When they had no other places to go and were backed into a corner, countless tree roots — like the current ones — blocked the exit. With countless rustling noises, the tree roots flooded this entire space like a tide.
“Ah…”
Sounds of screaming appeared left and right. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, but under this situation, even many Royal Nobles couldn’t stand strong. A bit of inattentiveness resulted in them dying to the ancient roots and being drained of their blood.
In this place, there were not that many big caves left. The two strongest groups were Heavenly Prince Qingxuan and Dao Child Shengtian. Because of this, their two caves had the highest number of cultivators.
In this chaotic battle, Chen Baojiao and her old servant were also shunted to the cave with Dao Child Shengtian. At this moment, there was no turning back. Chen Baojiao didn’t have any other choice besides going with the big group, but the ancient roots attacking from behind became even more numerous, like the flow of the ocean.
At this time, all of the cultivators were at a dead end. They felt that they were caught in a trap. Strong ancient roots blocked their retreat and were chasing them deeper into the caves. It felt like they were being lured deeper into the nest. At this moment, the main root of the Evil Typha Tree viewed the intruding cultivators as a delicious meal. It was entrenched on its spiderweb, waiting for its delicious meal to come.
However, for unknown reasons, wherever Chen Baojiao went, she especially attracted the roots of the Evil Typha Tree. They attacked her far more vigorously compared to the others.
Chen Baojiao naturally didn’t know that she, with the Tyrannical Valley Immortal Spring Physique, was rare across the ages. Her blood essence was the most delicious feast in this world to the evil tree, as well as the best supplement, so she was attacked far more than others.
At first, Chen Baojiao was able to handle it, but later on, she couldn’t cope any longer. Fortunately, the old man by her side took action.
People began to realize that Chen Baojiao was attracting major fire by a large amount of tree roots, so many of them quickly ran away from her so that they wouldn’t be pulled down as well.
Under the crazy onslaught of the Evil Typha Tree’s roots, Chen Baojiao and her old servant were forced back into a tunnel. This was a dead end without an escape path.
“Careful…”
Chen Baojiao was almost stabbed to death by an ancient root. The old servant took action and cut the ancient root down completely. At this point, he finally revealed his true strength.
“Huaaa— Huaaa— Huaaa”
In this moment, the roots and branches became crazy, and they pushed Chen Baojiao into the wall. Suddenly, all of the roots went inside this cave of death, like a flood, drowning this hole along with their delicious meal.
“Kill…”
The old servant loudly roared and his Enlightened Being aura pierced the sky. In a flash, he rushed to the tree and slashed off countless roots, but an infinite amount, like the tides, kept on coming.
“Bang…”
The old servant — once again — started his massacre. He swept through everything again, but the vanguard of the tree roots were not deterred.
Seeing this old man’s true strength as an Enlightened Being, many cultivators in a different path were astonished.
A “Poof” sound appeared and blood rushed up in the air. Even though the old servant was powerful, he had to protect Chen Baojiao while killing the roots. A momentary lapse of focus let an ancient root penetrate his shoulder.
The old man cut off the ancient root, but it had already been rooted inside his body. This greatly changed the old man’s expression as his entire body shivered.
“Grandpa Shi…”
Chen Baojiao frightenedly screamed. She wanted to go save the old servant.
“Hide behind me…”
The old man screamed and unleashed a heaven punishing move. However, at this moment, the ancient roots had formed a giant nest, wanting to devour the two of them. In the back, there were also countless tree roots rushing in, encompassing the entire cave of death.
Dao Child Shengtian had already retreated to another cave, but seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but lose his colors. He wanted to rush up but Enlightened Being Si Tu held down his shoulder.
“Young Master, don’t be impulsive.”
Enlightened Being Si Tu said.
“X
