Queen Liv said, "Before the two of you enter, please listen to me for a moment. To tell you the truth, the current situation is quite critical. The elves are facing a life and death crisis. Since the disaster 20,000 years ago, the sacred tree has been eroded by the power of the abyss. The reproduction rate of the elves has been greatly reduced, and in recent years, it has fallen to a terrifying level. We have tried everything to get rid of the power of the abyss, but we have all failed. Especially now, the power of the seal is weakening, and the power of the abyss is slowly seeping out, even producing the projection of abyssal creatures. This place had become an extremely dangerous and deadly place! I don't know how long the Tree of Nature can last, a hundred years? A few decades? Or even shorter … "
A look of shock flashed past Chen Rui's eyes. The severity of the situation had exceeded his imagination.
Queen Liv sighed, "In fact, for 20,000 years, the elves have been trying to completely seal the Tree of Nature, but unfortunately, no one has succeeded. Just a few months ago, a few of our race's super powerhouses entered and wanted to join forces to strengthen or reset the seal. In the end, they were besieged by a large number of monsters projected by the abyss, and all of them died. The power of the abyss is still spreading, and the barrier of the tree people is barely delaying and blocking it. "
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. He looked at the seemingly calm center of the barrier, thought for a moment, and asked, "Can the Fountain of Life save the Tree of Nature?"
He remembered that Blanche once said that the Fountain of Life could save the Tree of Nature. At that time, Chen Rui even gave her a bottle, which made a great contribution to the elves.
"The Fountain of Life can indeed play a certain role, but it can only be used as a kind of medicine to stimulate the potential of the Tree of Nature and strengthen the power of the seal. We have already used the Fountain of Life on the Tree of Nature. Even if we use it again, it won't have much effect. "
Saying that, Queen Liv showed a look of pity, "The seal of life left by the elven king Spann is beginning to show signs of collapse, and the life force of the sacred tree has been overdrawn to the limit. It is extremely weak and on the verge of death. The landscape you see is caused by the overflowing power of the abyss, which means that the power of the abyss has directly eroded the most important root of the Tree of Nature. There's nothing we can do about it. The only possibility is to use the Spring of Resurrection, the Spring of Vitality, and the Spring of Life after removing the power of the Abyss. Only then will there be hope of reviving the Holy Tree. "
The Spring of Resurrection, the Spring of Vitality, and the Spring of Life? The corner of Chen Rui's eyes twitched. He was already sure that there was something fishy about his "lucky draw". That prophet who squatted on a small stool in front of the hospital to tell fortunes, you're really good at finding people …
"With all due respect, why don't the elves try to seek help from the Church of Light? As far as I know, the three supreme angels are the most powerful false gods. With their help, they should be able to seal the abyssal power. "
"Twenty thousand years ago, when the Cloud Empire was destroyed, the three High Angels came to the Immortal Capital. They only had one way, and that was to destroy the entire Tree of Nature." Queen Liv smiled bitterly. "That was tantamount to announcing the destruction of the entire elven race. Later, it was Lady Alucier and the three High Angels who reached a certain agreement that the Church stopped intervening. If the seal still can't be successfully sealed now, then we can only use this last method before the abyssal power breaks the seal. "
Chen Rui had fully understood the cause of the matter. Queen Liv was right. The elven race was indeed at a critical juncture of life and death. Not only did they have to seal the abyssal power, but they also had to rescue the Tree of Nature. As long as one of them wasn't completed, the elven race would perish.
It was impossible for the Elven King's father-in-law to sit back and watch this happen. Moreover, the seal of the abyss also involved the life and death of the entire human world and even the Demon Realm. Chen Rui took a deep breath and nodded. "Since the elves trust us so much, we will do our best and live up to the trust of Teacher Alucier and all of you. However, if you see anything that surprises you, please keep it a secret. "
"Don't worry, regardless of success or failure, the elves will be grateful for your kindness." Queen Liv looked at the elves around her. "Every elf present here swears in the name of the Moonlight Goddess that we will never reveal any secrets of our two friends."
Chen Rui smiled slightly and glanced at the Elven Holy Tree in the boundary. He secretly adjusted the power in his body, held Rolla's hand, and walked forward.
When they walked through the barrier of the tree, there was no hindrance. It was as if they were walking through a soft wall of water.
The moment they passed through this wall of water, the scene in front of Chen Rui and Rolla suddenly changed.
All they could see was blood red. The ground was scorched and cracked. There were no plants or animals. The only activity was the flowing magma. What was even more strange was that the sky was constantly collapsing. Hot blood rain poured down from it, and the air was filled with a suffocating aura of destruction.
This situation was somewhat similar to the Kingdom of the Illusory Forest, but it was more oppressive. Chen Rui suddenly understood. Previously, Alucier had deliberately displayed the Kingdom of the Abyss. It was not only to test them, but also to let them better adapt to the battle in front of them.
The Tree of Nature was in the distance. From this angle, the Tree of Nature appeared clearer and more strange. Even its leaves were faintly red. Chen Rui and Rolla looked at each other and cautiously walked in the direction of the Tree of Nature.
The surroundings were very quiet. There was no other sound except for the sound of their footsteps. This kind of "silence" was filled with invisible pressure. Coupled with the suffocating heat, it formed a deadly silent and dangerous feeling. The longer they stayed here, the greater the pressure. If they were weak-willed, even if they did not encounter any attacks, their minds would collapse after a long time.
The two walked for a long time, but they still maintained the same distance from the Tree of Nature. It was as if they were walking in circles. This should be a kind of spatial interference similar to a maze. Chen Rui had also encountered it when he faced the Tower of Glory at the bottom of the Sea of Death. At that time, it was Dragon Emperor's father-in-law, Augustus, who used violence to dispel it.
However, the spatial maze here was far better than the one at the bottom of the sea. Strictly speaking, with Chen Rui's strength, even if he used the Polar Star Transformation, he was still quite a distance away from Augustus. It would not be easy to break it like Dragon Emperor's father-in-law.
Rolla stopped in her tracks. The Mysterious Shadow Wand appeared in her hand, and blue runes appeared around her. In the blink of an eye, they had merged into circles of ripple-like light. With the Fairy Dragon as the center, they rippled and disappeared into the blood-red world.
The blood-red color gradually solidified, and a crack appeared in the void in front of them. This crack quickly spread, and then a hole was shattered.
Rolla used the method of breaking through force with skill. When they were walking forward just now, she had been calculating the structure of this space. Using the skill of "breaking through the surface with lines", she broke through this spatial maze that even Augustus might not be able to crack.
The broken hole gradually closed automatically, but Rolla and Chen Rui had already used Teleportation to pass through the hole and enter the real area of the Tree of Nature.
The real Tree of Nature was not in front of them, but inconceivably suspended in the air. This situation was similar to the altar they saw in the underground mine of Thick Earth Castle.
As soon as the two entered this area, a terrible pressure hit them in the face. The fiery aura was ten times stronger than outside, and there was a special spiritual power in it: hatred.
This hatred was so strong that even the souls of Rolla and Chen Rui trembled involuntarily. Chen Rui had felt the same terrible hatred in the Purple Garden Palace, so it was obvious what kind of enemy they were about to face.
The river of blood on the ground began to surge up and down, and the magma condensed into a large number of terrible figures that appeared in the sight of Chen Rui and Rolla.
Abyssal creatures! Moreover, there were countless of them!
Outside the barrier, a huge crystal ball showed the situation inside. Seeing this scene, the elves could not help but look nervous. Last time, several elven powerhouses died under the siege of abyssal creatures, and none of them were spared. Due to the weakening of the seal, the number of abyssal creatures this time was much higher than the number of elven powerhouses who entered last time, and their strength was also much stronger.
These two people, were they …
Among these abyssal creatures, the Violent Demons and the Crevice Demons were the most numerous, followed by the Flaming Sorceress. At least, there were hundreds of Lords of the Abyss. These were not ordinary abyssal creatures. In addition to their powerful destructive power, they were also surrounded by a strong aura of hatred. Obviously, they were elites who had received some dominator level control, and their combat power was far greater than those that Chen Rui encountered in the underground mine of Thick Earth Castle at the "Fear" altar.
— — This was not the "drill" in the Secluded Forest, but a real enemy!
Apart from the illusionary trial, this was the first time that Chen Rui faced a real abyssal army. This moment came faster than he had imagined. Although he was a little nervous, he was more determined and eager to fight.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly glittered like stars. The elves in front of the crystal ball saw the dazzling crimson starlight. After the intense light disappeared, a figure in dazzling armor appeared in front of them, and a powerful aura surged out. The abyssal creatures at the front were all blown away by the powerful impact, and the weaker ones turned into smoke and dissipated.
That familiar armor … The hearts of Elf Empress Liv and the rest jolted as they thought of someone at the same time.
What was even more surprising were the "insiders" who had seen the Crown of Thorns in the Stone Fist Village — the Third Prince of the Long Huang Empire, who owned one of the Three Holy Relics of Light, was the mysterious powerhouse who killed Isyorul, the four-winged angel of the Church of Light!
What on earth was the "mystery" behind this?
"Mother, this person …" First Princess Phyllis could not help but say.
"No matter what your judgment or speculation is," Queen Liv turned around and glanced at her daughter, "as the First Princess of the elves, you should remember the promise that the elves made to their friends."
All the elves calmed down. This was the most crucial battle, which concerned the survival of the elves. As for other things, they could ignore them.
