"Sister Caiwei, look at them. They're so infuriating!"
"If Junior Brother Gu hadn't absorbed the power of the black tree, they might have all been trapped here. Now that Junior Brother Gu has opened the way, not to mention waiting for Junior Brother Gu, they didn't even thank him before leaving!"
"The Ancient Era's Immortal Ruins are right in front of us. How many people can endure it?" "Ignore them!" Gu Caiwei shook her head and sighed. Soon after, a mocking smile surfaced on her beautiful face. "Moreover, it doesn't necessarily mean that the earlier you enter, the more rewards you will reap. Maybe the earlier you see it, the earlier you lose your life!"
"That's right!"
Tang ManRou sneered, "The entrance passage is already so dangerous. The danger level within the Immortal Ruins is probably not much weaker than here."
"..."
As they spoke, the two of them no longer paid attention to their surroundings, but instead focused their gazes on Tang Huan.
Tens of thousands of cultivators turned into two torrents, roaring past the two sides of the black tree at an incomparably fast speed. Their figures disappeared at the end of the passageway one after another. Not long after, other than Tang Huan, who was sitting at the bottom of the black tree, only Gu Caiwei and Tang ManRou were left in the passageway.
"Wuuuuuu ~ ~ ~"
The whistling sound from the giant tree did not stop at all.
From the incessant sharp notes, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou could clearly feel a mixture of anger, mania, anxiety, and helplessness. However, no matter how the giant tree cried out or moved, it was unable to touch Tang Huan in the slightest.
Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou, who were watching from afar, were completely at ease, no longer worried about Tang Huan's safety.
Even when the black tree was at its peak, it couldn't do anything to Tang Huan. Now that its body was less than half of its original size, it was naturally even more impossible for it to pose a threat to Tang Huan, who was at the bottom of the tree.
After a long while, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou, who had just refined a pill, opened their eyes at almost the same time. The Sky Origin Stage in their bodies had once again become plentiful. However, when the two of them subconsciously cast their gazes towards the black tree, they were both stunned.
That giant tree was less than two hundred meters tall!
In the time it took to refine the pill, the giant black tree had shrunk by almost a hundred meters. Not only that, the giant black tree was also shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. 180 meters … 150 meters … 120 meters … 100 meters …
When Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou saw this, their beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
They already knew that the rate at which the giant black tree was shrinking was increasing, but they didn't expect that it would increase to such a shocking extent in such a short time.
After a while, the two of them looked at each other and floated forward at the same time.
Dozens of meters away from the black tree, the two of them stopped. At this time, although the black tree was still crazily waving its tree roots, its power had weakened by many times. They even had a feeling that if they were to use their swords now, they might be able to cut down a lot of tree roots.
"The cave abode has finally been repaired!"
A trace of joy surfaced in Tang Huan's heart.
The reason why the black tree had shrunk at such a frightening speed was because the speed at which it was absorbing energy had increased explosively. The more space in the cave was repaired, the faster the sucking's power would be. When the last crack in space disappeared, the sucking's power would almost immediately double.
Tang Huan did not stop, and continued to absorb a huge amount of energy in one go, fusing it into the cave, causing the space in the cave to become more and more stable.
When the giant black tree was only about fifty meters tall, Tang Huan finally stopped activating the "Limitless Sword Formation", and the mountain and river painting that carried the cave's space also stopped absorbing energy.
However, Tang Huan's sucking of the black tree's power did not stop.
Although all of the energy that was absorbed did not enter the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram", it remained within the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace". Tang Huan continued to circulate the cauldron and the Dao Nascent Soul to the extreme, crazily refining the black tree's power, and then quickly fused with the forty thousand Dao Crystals that formed the Dao Nascent Soul.
"Eh? Why does it seem to have slowed down again?
"Not far away, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou could not help but look at each other in astonishment. Just a moment ago, the black tree's shrinking had suddenly slowed down by quite a bit.
The two of them could not see through the reason, and they could not help but feel a trace of vigilance in their hearts.
"Buzz!"
Amidst the crisp trembling sound, a wave of dark blue light burst out from Gu Caiwei's palm. It was the dark blue greatsword that Tang Huan had forged for her not long ago, "ManRou, let's get ready. If we discover anything wrong with Junior Brother Gu Ying, don't hesitate and attack immediately!"
"Understood!"
Tang ManRou raised her eyebrows slightly, and a trace of seriousness appeared in her eyes. In between her mind instructs (in a second), the fiery red long blade that had just fused with the Dantian before entering the passageway also appeared in a flash. Her two eyes stared intently at the giant black tree, and her Perception Ability had also risen to its peak.
Time passed bit by bit. What made Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou somewhat suspicious was that no matter if it was Tang Huan or the black tree, neither of them revealed any special abnormalities. Although the speed at which the black tree was shrinking had greatly decreased, it did not stop shrinking, it was only slower than before.
Forty meters … Twenty meters … Ten meters …
Inadvertently, the huge black tree that was hundreds of meters tall had already turned into a small tree that was only a few meters tall. However, the two fiery red chains were still tightly wrapped around the roots of the black tree, and Tang Huan also quietly floated forward along with the shrinking of the roots, and was already very close to the chains.
Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou let out a light sigh. It was no longer possible for such a small tree to cause any more trouble.
"Hu!"
But right at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly swept out in all directions with Tang Huan's body as the center. It was as if a violent storm had arisen out of nowhere around Tang Huan's body, causing the small black tree to sway violently, and then let out waves of weak whimpers.
"Junior brother Gu has broken through?"
"Fourth level of the Heavenly Lord Realm?"
When Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou saw this, they could not help but look at each other in dismay. However, they immediately came to their senses and a hint of surprise and joy surfaced on their faces. They never thought that Tang Huan's cultivation would actually be able to break through in this passageway. It was obvious that he had refined quite a bit of the black tree's power.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly came to a realization.
Previously, Tang Huan had been able to absorb the black tree's energy faster and faster, and it was obvious that he had relied on some kind of treasure that could contain energy. However, no matter how powerful a treasure was, there was still a limit to it. After the treasure was filled with the black tree's energy, Tang Huan began to refine his own energy.
It was because of this that the speed at which the black tree's energy was being drained and the reminder was reduced greatly.
