Dong, dong, dong …
In the center of the palace, the vine walls were broken through, and teams rushed out. Other than the Shi Family, the Gong Family, and the Zhong Family, there were also many powerful cultivators from other forces …
The guests invited to the birthday banquet in the Northern King City were not ordinary. None of the guests here did not have a strong background and held amazing power.
And now, the major forces that had just rushed to the center of the palace were the best of the best. Each team was comparable to an army.
"Northern King's birthday banquet, which scoundrel dares to be so presumptuous …"
There was a loud boom …
Amidst the violent howling of the fist, a torrent of fist force blasted out, plowing a deep trench in the interweaving leaves and vines.
The power of this punch shocked all the powerful cultivators present. This was an unparalleled cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm.
"Heh …"
The tree-man chuckled, and a leaf vine rushed out from the ground, stabbing forward and colliding with the fist force.
With a dull thud, the leaf vine transformed into a vine dragon, swallowed the fist force, and slammed into the attacker's body.
Bang, bang, bang …
After a series of collisions, the figure flew backward. He quickly adjusted his position in mid-air and landed on the ground, but he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was a strangely tall man. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face was filled with shock as he stared at the tree-man.
"A cultivator of the ninth realm …" the man said in a low voice, his tone filled with fear and shock.
In an instant, the expressions of everyone present changed. Many people recognized this strangely tall man. He was the commander of the second army in the Northern Lands.
The second army in the Northern Lands was actually the army of the Northern Lands' royal family, and it was also the first army of the human race.
Above the second army was the legendary army of the Northern Lands, the centaur army …
The reputation of the second army's commander had been heard outside the Northern Lands. Unexpectedly, he was repelled by a leaf vine.
From the mouth of the second army's commander, there was no need to doubt the true strength of this tree-man.
The tree-man scanned the surroundings. There were already more than ten teams here, but he did not look down on them at all.
"Northern King, I have come with sincerity this time. If you agree, please kill yourself. I can guarantee that the one who inherits the position of Northern King will still be one of your descendants … "
The Tree-Man spoke slowly, and more and more leaves and vines appeared around him. They intertwined and formed vine dragons that coiled around him, exuding a terrifying pressure.
Shi Hulie, Gong Bie Qian, and the others exchanged glances. They were all a little anxious, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
The pressure from the Tree Man in front of him was truly terrifying. Even as a level-eight cultivator, he was still extremely fearful.
Moreover, this was a trap that the Treant had meticulously set up. At this time, whoever made the first move would be the one who stood out and would be shot in the head.
The King of the North's cold laughter came from the palace. "I'd like to know, which of my descendants do you favor to take over the position of King of the North?"
The Tree-Man chuckled softly. Although his bark-covered face was expressionless, it was inexplicably moving.
"I'll tell you about this when the King of the North arrives and when your descendants pay their respects to you every year …" the tree-man said slowly.
In the palace, the King of the North smiled without batting an eyelid. He suddenly said, "Everyone outside, if anyone kills this villain, I'll share one-third of the territory of the Northern Lands with him."
"Whoever injures this villain will be a great hero of the Northern Lands and will be conferred the title of Duke. His descendants can inherit the title of Duke, and they can choose any land in the Northern Lands as their fief …"
"Whoever injures this villain …"
…
In the palace, the King of the North's voice kept ringing. The generous rewards he promised made many people's hearts beat wildly.
One-third of the territory of the Northern Lands …
The Duke of the Northern Lands, the fief of any region …
…
This was a promise that had never been made since the establishment of the Northern Royal Family.
In particular, among the major forces present, there was no lack of great forces from the Northern Lands. They all wanted to advance further, and this was the best opportunity.
Dong, dong, dong …
Many figures dashed out, shouting "kill the traitor" as they charged madly toward the Tree-Man.
Waves of powerful aura rushed out. There were mountain dwarves wielding giant axes, northern barbarians wielding giant hammers, and machinists controlling machines …
Waves of energy rolled up in the air, twisting the leaf vines on the square into pieces. Especially the mountain dwarves wielding giant axes. They were born with thick skin and flesh. Coupled with the Heart Origin Equipment that was similar to armor, they were not afraid of the leaf vines' attacks at all.
In an instant, the leaf vines that were wreaking havoc on the square were completely swept away by these experts. This scene truly frightened Shi, Gong, Zhong, and the other experts.
The strength displayed by these experts was naturally incomparable to that of the great clans like Shi, Gong, and Zhong. However, when these experts gathered together, it was a very frightening force.
Shi Hulie's expression changed. He secretly rejoiced. If his side joined forces and suddenly attacked the King of the North, the latter would make such a move. Even if Shi, Gong, and Zhong joined forces, even if they could win, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
Seeing the experts rushing over, the Tree-Man did not panic. He said softly, "It's a pity … You are all the core forces of the North. Today, you will die here …"
At this moment, the ground under the Tree-Man's feet suddenly shook. With a boom, a giant vine-like creature rushed out of the ground. It was an incomparably huge Dragon Crocodile.
This was a Dragon Crocodile that was formed purely from the branches of life. It emitted a terrifying pressure. It opened its giant mouth and swallowed the dozens of experts that were rushing at the front.
Crack, crack …
Within the body of the vine-like Dragon Crocodile, the sound of bones cracking followed. Blood spurted out from the gaps of the leaf vines. It was obvious that the experts that were swallowed were dead.
This scene shocked the experts present so much that their eyelids twitched. It should be known that even a level-nine expert might not be able to easily win against the combined strength of these experts. Unexpectedly, they had lost so much strength in an instant.
The Tree-Man smiled faintly. He raised his hand and gently clenched it. A strange wind blew and blew away all the blood mist. This Tree-Man seemed to be a bit of a neat freak and did not like this kind of blood.
"My goal this time is only the King of the North. You are not qualified to oppose me."
"Therefore, staying at the side and watching quietly is the best choice. Otherwise …"
…
The Tree-Man spoke slowly. There was not much threat in his words, but it sent chills down everyone's spine.
In such a short period of time, the strength that the Tree-Man had displayed proved that he had the confidence to oppose all the experts in the entire palace.
Buzz …
Suddenly, a piercing whistle sounded from within the giant Dragon Crocodile. With a loud boom, a hole appeared in the Dragon Crocodile's body.
With a loud bang, many high-explosive bombs were thrown out. Before they could even get close to the Tree-Man, they exploded one by one.
These high-explosive bombs were made of high-purity energy crystals. The power of each explosion was enough to blow up the entire square and even the palace.
This scene caused the experts in the distance to turn pale with fright. One by one, they stopped in their tracks, turned around, and flew out of the square.
There were many experts with good eyesight. Naturally, they could tell how shocking the power of these high-explosive bombs were. Not to mention a Level-7 expert, even a Level-8 expert would be seriously injured if they were blown up at such a close distance.
The Tree-Man was also shocked. He immediately raised his hand, and countless leaf vines grew from the ground and quickly wrapped around him.
"Haha … Die, villain …"
"Traitor, you're asking for death!"
…
A few people charged out from the body of the Dragon Crocodile. It was a team of Mechanic Fighters. These Mechanics were in a frenzy and their eyes were filled with madness. One of them even hugged a bunch of bombs and charged over.
Boom boom boom boom …
The next moment, the high-explosive bombs completely detonated. The surrounding leaf vines interweaved and regenerated, but they could not withstand the power of the explosion. The entire square was blown up in an instant.
Even a part of the palace wall in front of them was blown up …
The square became a ruin. Burnt leaf vines were everywhere, and gravel was piled up together. However, the Tree-Man was nowhere to be seen.
On top of the palace, the Northern King saw this scene. There was a trace of pain in his majestic eyes. This team of Combat Mechanics was his trump card.
Originally, this team of Combat Mechanics was meant to deal with the Gong Family and the Zhong Family. He did not expect them to all be sacrificed here.
"Father …"
The princess walked forward and looked at the scene in front of her. However, she softly reminded him, "The vine wall around the palace did not disappear. The aura did not weaken much either …"
The Northern King nodded and looked at the daughter he was most proud of. Indeed, he did not raise her wrong. Even at such a time, she still had such sharp observation skills.
Boom!
Suddenly, a giant Dragon Crocodile sprang out from the ground, and a figure dashed out.
Other than the slightly burnt bark on the surface of his body, the Tree-Man did not suffer much damage. He had let the Vine Dragon Crocodile absorb most of the power of the explosion.
"Looks like … I have underestimated you guys …"
The Tree-Man turned around and looked into the distance. A terrifying killing intent rose from his body.
"Originally, I did not want to bother with you guys. Now, it is better to get rid of you guys who are in the way first before dealing with the Northern King …"
The Tree-Man moved. His body swayed and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already beside Shi Hulie. He raised his arm and turned it into a Vine Blade, slashing down.
Boom …
The surrounding space seemed to distort. The power of this strike was so strong that any cultivator below level-eight would have the urge to vomit blood just by looking at its power.
"Your Excellency, we may not be enemies. Why are you looking for me …"
Shi Hulie shouted. He wanted to sit down and talk, but it was too late. He could only circulate all the power in his body and wave his arms. The power of the green gauntlets was fully activated, and he faced the Tree-Man.
Bang!
That space seemed to explode all of a sudden, and the energy that filled the sky swept out in all directions, forming a hurricane.
In an instant, the Tree-Man and Shi Hulie had already exchanged dozens of blows. The latter kept retreating, wanting to escape from the battle, but he could not do so.
As soon as they exchanged blows, Shi Hulie understood that the Tree-Man's power was genuine level nine. It was not something he could contend with.
However, it was difficult for him to escape. There was a strange suction force on the Tree-Man's body that kept pulling Shi Hulie and slowing him down.
This scene made Shi Hulie very anxious. He had already used the strongest power of the green gauntlets. This method could not be maintained for long. After a while, he would be defeated and killed.
"Gong Bie Qian, Zhong Wangsun, come and help me …" Shi Hulie shouted.
Beside him, Gong Bie Qian did not go forward to help. Witnessing the power of the Tree-Man, he was hesitant to make an enemy out of it.
In the distance, in a hidden place, Man Hua, Mossy Bone, and the others had already arrived. They had been hiding in the dark, observing the battle silently. To them, none of the experts present were friends, so there was no need for them to help.
"Ancestor, are we just going to let Shi Hulie die at the hands of that guy?"
Bayun asked from the side. When the situation in the palace changed, he had already rushed nearby and quickly met up with Man Hua and the others.
Seeing that Shi Hulie was at a disadvantage and surrounded by danger, Bayun was somewhat unwilling. He did not want his enemy to die at the hands of others …
Da Jiao also snorted coldly. He wanted to deal with the Tree-Man. He wanted to get rid of this guy first, then settle the score with the Gong and Zhong Families.
"At this time, you are still thinking about the life and death of your enemy. It is more important to think about your own safety …"
Man Hua glared at these juniors and secretly shook his head. These juniors were far inferior to Hayashi River. The latter would definitely not have the idea of killing his enemy with his own hands. If he could kill with a borrowed knife, why would he do it himself? He might even be killed by his enemy before he died.
At this moment —
The Tree-Man raised his head and roared. He suddenly abandoned Shi Hulie and rushed towards the place where Man Hua and the others were hiding.
"So the real threat is hiding here …" The Tree-Man laughed. He moved like a ghost and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Man Hua frowned. With the sharp senses of the Centaur elder, he had long guessed that the Tree-Man should have discovered their hiding place.
However, Man Hua was still a little puzzled. If it was the true spirit of the Tree of Life, he should not have been able to detect his concealment method.
After all, Man Hua and several other Extraordinary experts had conducted a deep understanding of the Tree of Life a thousand years ago …
"Young Mister Chuan, are you here? I might need to borrow your strength later … "
Man Hua muttered as he stepped out from the shadows to meet the Tree-Man.
On the other side, Hayashi River replied that he was almost there, but he had encountered some strange matters and would be slightly delayed.
Man Hua was taken aback. He did not say anything and fought with the Tree-Man.
Rumble …
Under the horrified gazes of many experts, a battle between the nine realms began …
At the same time.
Near the center of the palace, Hayashi River stopped and stood on the spot, staring at a wall in front of him.
Six Hands and Blue Kitty also stopped, but they did not ask anything. They silently watched Hayashi River's actions.
The wall in front of him was carved with patterns. It was the Wall of Merit that recorded the history of the Northern Royal Family …
This was a scenic spot in the palace, and it also symbolized the glory of the Northern Royal Family. However, in the eyes of Hayashi River, what he saw was not the glorious battle records, but the pattern of the eyeball on his forehead, revealing the true face of the wall.
It was a door formed by a strange interweaving pattern. It was a door formed by pure energy …
Hayashi River had never seen such a door before, but he had heard from the Moon Core that there was such a door in the Gem Nation.
"Machine Owner, there is a very shocking thing in this door …" the Moon Core said.
Hayashi River nodded slightly. He activated his mental energy and turned it into a large net of mental energy that fused into the door.
