The first item that Wang Baole pulled out was the bizarre horsetail whisk!
The horsetail whisk was filled with extraordinary energy as it shot toward one of the puppet cultivators up ahead. The hair on the horsetail whisk instantly straightened up, and then stabbed toward the puppet cultivator.
Rumbling sounds could be heard as the cultivator unleashed his magical technique, tree leaves, but to no avail. The horsetail whisk completely disregarded the cultivator, piercing through his chest and nailing him to the tree. More of the hair on the horsetail whisk spread out, then shot toward the other puppets.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of puppets were nailed to the ground by the horsetail whisk.
Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised to see that it was effective. However, even as his joy began to grow, Wang Baole felt like he was about to go crazy. The horsetail whisk had just been incredibly powerful, but in the space of three breaths of time, it began to soften. Even its battle prowess was greatly reduced ….
As a result, the cultivators who had been nailed to the ground began to break free. However, not all of them were free. There were seven or eight female cultivators …. No matter how they struggled, it was useless. Not only did the horsetail whisk not soften, it actually became more and more resilient ….
"This horsetail whisk is too perverted!" Even as the thought appeared in Wang Baole's mind, the hair on the horsetail whisk retracted from the male cultivators, then spread out again toward the female cultivators. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty female cultivators were nailed to the ground. Apparently, the will was there, but the strength was insufficient ….
Looking at the scene before him, Wang Baole couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart, even in the midst of danger. However, the horsetail whisk was of great help to him. At that moment, as the surrounding puppets neared and attacked Wang Baole, Wang Baole's body flickered, and he unleashed his spells to fight against the puppets, retreating as he fought.
Loud booms reverberated in the air. Wang Baole's Flash Arc, Heated Burst, and Cloud Finger were unleashed consecutively. Coupled with his speed, the loud booms reverberated in the air. The puppet cultivators were helpless against Wang Baole.
On one hand, Wang Baole's skin was thick and tough, and on the other hand, his spells were ever-changing. Most importantly … his Dharmic treasures seemed endless, as he threw them out one after another. Among them, there was an umbrella. The umbrella looked normal, but when it was thrown out, it was not only extremely fast, but also extremely wretched, as it stabbed anyone it saw!
That might not have been a big deal, but there was also a flying sword. As soon as it flew out, it seemed to go crazy. No matter who it saw, it would slash out at them. If Wang Baole hadn't dodged quickly enough, it would have cut him.
As for the horsetail whisk, because of the constant struggle of the female puppet cultivators, it flew back to Wang Baole, who grabbed it and then swept it out in all directions.
When it came to the male cultivators, it didn't seem to have any power at all. The soft hair brushed past them reluctantly. However, when it came to the female cultivators, the hair was astonishingly hard, and its explosive power surpassed that of ordinary magical items. When it slammed into the female cultivators, Wang Baole's heart was filled with shock.
However, that wasn't what surprised Wang Baole the most. What shocked him the most was the great seal!
Years ago, Wang Baole had modified the great seal with Soldier Sand. Although it looked extraordinary, when he threw it out, it seemed to contain a spring within it. As soon as someone touched it, it would fly away.
After being thrown out, it did the same thing. A single punch would send it flying, and it would vanish without a trace. However, when Wang Baole fought with one of the puppet cultivators, the great seal suddenly descended from the sky. With a boom, it slammed into the retreating cultivator, shattering him into pieces. Then it rose up into the air again ….
After that, it seemed to have a mind of its own. Every time it sensed that Wang Baole was about to defeat an opponent, it would rush over and attack them!
"Bullying the weak, fearing the strong, and even locking onto targets?" Wang Baole was dumbfounded by what he saw. He laughed bitterly in his heart and sighed inwardly at the fact that his opponents were all puppet cultivators who had been assimilated. Otherwise, if they had a mind of their own, the Dharmic treasures would have been a great deterrent to them.
However, just as Wang Baole was taking advantage of his magical items to retreat and fight in the forest, and was about to break out of the encirclement, a thunderous boom suddenly echoed out from the ground!
As the boom came from the ground, the earth began to tremble, and so did the sky. Black clouds filled the air and seemed to be shrinking. This scene caused Wang Baole's expression to change. The ground beneath his feet collapsed, and an enormous tree hand stretched out from within!!
Wang Baole cried out in alarm and leaped into the air. The intense sense of danger in his heart exploded to the extreme. Although this tree hand was small compared to the one that had crushed the airship, it was still enormous to Wang Baole. It was at least ten feet tall. At this moment, it rose from the ground and grabbed at him!!
Not only was it extremely fast, but the gigantic hand also exuded a suppressive force that shook one's soul. The suppressive force was like an invisible windstorm that directly bombarded Wang Baole's mind. While it caused the heavens and earth to rumble, it also formed a tidal wave that caused Wang Baole's mind to buzz, and he immediately cried out in pain.
It was as if in a short moment, his body had experienced an unbearable volume of sound. The bones in his ears were about to shatter, and his eardrums were about to be torn apart. Blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. At this moment, his consciousness was forcibly suppressed, and he fell unconscious.
He also lost control of his body that had leaped into the air, and was directly grabbed by the giant hand that rose from the ground!!
As the giant hand grabbed hold of Wang Baole's body, it didn't crush him. Instead, the giant hand wrapped around Wang Baole and circled him rapidly. Within the span of a few breaths, a giant tree cocoon was formed and connected to the tree hand. Wang Baole was dragged underground and escaped through the earth.
The puppet cultivators in the surroundings stood there motionless, watching this scene with expressionless faces. When the tree cocoon was taken away, the puppet cultivators tilted their heads, as if listening to orders. Soon, their bodies swayed, and they made a beeline for Coulomb Basin.
When the cultivators left and peace returned to the place, the tree hand that held up the sky in the distance slowly descended and once again burrowed into the ground. As it disappeared, the black fog in the surroundings also slowly thinned, and in the short span of a few breaths, all of it dissipated.
The power of the seal no longer existed in a large area. The sunlight from the outside shone in, and everything returned to normal.
Only in the depths of Coulomb Basin, there was still a small area of black fog. It was as if this was the core area, and there was a seal in place at all times.
Within this fog seal, there was a small tree that was as thick as an arm. It was surrounded by hundreds of ferocious and thick Big Tree. This small tree looked half-dead, as if it had suffered a great injury. It was extremely tragic. Cracks spread all over it, and not a single green leaf grew on it. It looked as if its life was about to dissipate.
However, if a mighty figure were to appear here and look through the ground, he would be able to see that this small tree's roots underground were shockingly huge. They occupied an area of ten thousand feet, like a gigantic underground labyrinth!
And on this ten thousand feet of roots, there were hundreds and thousands of branching roots. If one were to look at them, they would be able to see that they had long broken through the ground, growing into a Big Tree that reached the sky!
If one were to look over a large area, one would be able to see that all the trees in the core area of Coulomb Basin were transformed from its roots!
To this day, the Federation had no record of such an astonishing Big Tree!
At this moment, in the center of the labyrinth formed by the underground roots, there were hundreds of fruit-like cocoons in a cavity formed by the huge roots. These cocoons were each several feet in size, and they grew densely on the walls of the tree.
One could even see that there were three fruits that were slowly wriggling inside. As for the others, they were mostly peaceful.
Inside these three wriggling fruits were Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, and Zhuo Yifan. The three of them were in the same state as before they were captured. Even their storage items were not taken away. However, they seemed to have lost consciousness, their eyes closed, and they did not move at all.
They were surrounded by a thick, viscous liquid. At the same time, they were immersed in it, and at the same time, a shocking amount of spiritual energy was pouring into them from the tree. It was as if there was no end to it, and it was boring into their bodies.
It seemed to be trying to use this method to assimilate their bodies. There were even branches that were like sharp thorns growing inside the fruits, merging into their heads and connecting with each other.
It was as if there was a strange existence that was trying to assimilate their bodies and erase their consciousness.
Time passed slowly. No one knew how much time had passed. As the three of them were continuously assimilated and had their consciousness erased, Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan seemed to be in a deep sleep from the beginning to the end, without any reaction. However, Wang Baole … His body slowly trembled a few times. Although he did not wake up, some strange things in his body seemed to have awakened at this moment, gradually becoming greedy for the Spirit Qi that was surging in …
