"F * ck, isn't this my Ancient Golden Tree incarnation?"
Although it was only a projection of the previous challengers of the Tower of Babel and not a real incarnation, the appearance and aura it emitted were exactly the same as his incarnation. This was definitely the incarnation of the Ancient Golden Tree that he had been exiled by the Nightmare's will.
Lin Xiao did not expect to see his long-lost Ancient Golden Tree incarnation here. To be able to see it in the Sky Tower meant that he had also participated in the evolution journey. To be able to see it on the 33rd floor of the Sky Tower meant that he had reached the end of the Sky Tower.
However, the problem now was, how should he deal with this Ancient Golden Tree incarnation?
Obviously, this Ancient Golden Tree incarnation seemed to have obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter that he did not know about. It looked much stronger than when it was exiled back then. When the Ancient Golden Tree incarnation was formed, its essence was not much different from the Tree of Life. Now, the Ancient Golden Tree's essence was much stronger than the Tree of Life.
A strange halo spread out from the Ancient Golden Tree to the entire battle space. Although he did not feel anything out of the ordinary in the halo, he knew that it was not just for show.
He wanted to avoid it, but there was nowhere to do so. Furthermore, he suspected that this was not the limit of the Ancient Golden Tree's halo, but the battle space was only so big.
The Ancient Golden Tree incarnation completely appeared, and the halo that covered the entire battle space suddenly changed from harmless to a Life Absorption halo.
It was the same as the Life Absorption talent of the Netherworld Life Absorber at the 30th level, but its effect was on all enemies within the halo's range.
Of course, because it was an omnidirectional Life Absorption, the effect of the Life Absorption on an individual was far inferior to that of the Netherworld Life Absorber. However, the advantage was that it was endless and could not be avoided.
The projection could not communicate, and it did not even have its own consciousness. Lin Xiao did not waste any time and directly crossed hundreds of meters in a flash, appearing at the center of the Ancient Golden Tree's trunk. He raised his sword and slashed at the golden tree trunk.
With a crisp clang, golden sparks flew everywhere.
Time Lock and Thought Stop did not affect the Ancient Golden Tree incarnation's Life Absorption halo. This was a passive Domain ability. Once activated, it would not be interrupted even if the user was unconscious.
In that instant, ten seconds, Lin Xiao had also activated Time Acceleration on himself. In the outside world, he had slashed out close to fifty times in one breath.
A second later, the time bubble created by Time Stop disappeared. The damage of 50 slashes exploded instantly after Time Stop disappeared. The trunk of the Ancient Golden Tree, which had a diameter of 50 to 60 meters, exploded, creating a huge hole that could fit a small building.
The branches of the Golden Ancient Tree danced in the air. Golden light flew out and quickly formed the outline of a golden figure. It reached out and pointed at Lin Xiao.
An indescribable life force gathered within the Golden Tree's domain, condensing into numerous golden chains of life that flew toward Lin Xiao. They weaved back and forth in the air, weaving into a huge golden net. A strange power locked down the space, slowing down his movements.
At the same time, the boundless life force in the domain gathered towards the wound on the ancient golden tree. The cut that had just been made was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short second, the tree grew back two to three meters. The speed was astonishingly fast.
Lin Xiao did not hesitate to use Time Walk to enter the invincible state. He once again appeared at the healing gap. Time Stop froze and the nearby wounds exploded wildly.
A second later, a huge cut appeared on the waist of the ancient tree again. Before the debris could fly out, he once again used Time Walk to the edge and exploded again.
The Level 4 Time Walk could be used ten times a day, and the Level 3 Time Acceleration could be used three times a day. Lin Xiao did not hesitate to use all ten chances. He exploded wildly and forcefully cut the waist of the Ancient Golden Tree incarnation before it could heal itself quickly.
It was worth mentioning that he had slashed out close to 400 times during the ten times of Time Lock. Among them, he had triggered Time Lock six times.
Although the 1% chance of triggering Time Lock mostly overlapped with the Time Lock added by Time Walk, there was also a small part that did not overlap. This small part added more than a hundred attacks to him. In the middle, only one additional Time Lock was triggered. The remaining attacks did not trigger Time Lock.
This was the terrifying part of this move. In theory, as long as the attack speed was fast enough, reaching a hundred attacks per second or even higher in ten seconds within the time bubble, there would always be an additional 1% chance of triggering Time Lock. This probability depended on the attack. As long as the attack speed was fast enough and the number of attacks was enough, it would always be triggered. In theory, as long as one was lucky, it could be triggered indefinitely.
In the future, he might be able to achieve the feat of completing tens of thousands of attacks in one second. That would be the time to unleash the terrifying power of the time talent.
Although the time talent could also be called a bug, his means were too poor. His combat strength was not that strong either, so he could not unleash the terrifying power of this bug talent at all.
In fact, there was one thing that Lin Xiao was rather curious about. His Golden Ancient Tree should only be at Level 3. How could it be so huge and powerful?
As the time bubble disappeared, the 500 attacks that he had accumulated burst out at the same time in a few seconds. No matter how strong the regeneration ability of the Golden Ancient Tree was, it was impossible for it to completely recover in just a few seconds. The last part of the trunk that supported the trunk exploded, and the Golden Ancient Tree was directly blown into two. Its huge upper body fell directly.
The condensed figure of light shook violently and collapsed. The net of light that filled the sky twisted a few times and also collapsed and disappeared. However, the Life Absorption Domain did not disappear, but its effect was greatly weakened. It no longer had any effect on him. A large amount of life energy gathered on the broken trunk and regenerated.
At the same time, a large number of branches of light were condensed and inserted into the broken trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree. An endless stream of life energy was absorbed, and the Golden Ancient Tree was regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that this was not going to work, Lin Xiao rushed to the Golden Ancient Tree with large strides. He rushed to the broken trunk with his hands and feet and crazily attacked the growing branches. Debris flew everywhere.
The Golden Ancient Tree kept waving its branches to hit him. Unfortunately, the power of the Golden Ancient Tree had been greatly weakened and could no longer do anything to him.
The Golden Ancient Tree behind seemed to have realized this and stopped attacking him. Instead, it focused on absorbing the broken branches of the Golden Ancient Tree to recover. It even stopped using the Life Absorption Domain to recover.
Cut off a section, and another section grew.
Cut off another section, and another section grew. The cycle repeated, and the situation was in a stalemate.
Lin Xiao kept cutting down the trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree as if he did not know fatigue. However, the Golden Ancient Tree was recovering faster than he was cutting down. Very soon, it had recovered more than what he had cut down.
However, every few dozen or even hundreds of attacks, it would trigger a time lock that only had a 1% chance of happening. It would explode madly at this moment.
Most of the time, luck would not be able to trigger it continuously. However, sometimes, if one was lucky, the Golden Ancient Tree would be able to trigger it again within the time lock. The accumulation of many times could cause great damage to the Golden Ancient Tree. Both sides were in a stalemate for a while.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Lin Xiao finally understood why his Golden Ancient Tree clone could reach the 33rd stage. He also understood why it had stopped at the 33rd stage.
If it had not been for the ten times of Time Roaming, none of the top-tier elites he had encountered would have been able to instantly cripple him, let alone kill him instantly. Under normal circumstances, the Golden Ancient Tree clone could slowly exhaust most of his opponents to death. Not to mention, he had various methods to use, such as the chain net that he had not used previously.
The reason why he had stopped at the 33rd stage was mainly because the Golden Ancient Tree clone did not have any powerful explosive methods. After all, it had grasped the power of life. In terms of healing and recovery, it was definitely not a match for the Golden Ancient Tree clone. However, it lacked explosive power.
Lin Xiao's first round of explosive attacks had directly crippled the Golden Ancient Tree clone, making it unable to use any of its methods. What came next was a battle of attrition.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiao's Black Hole clone would definitely not be able to outlast the Golden Ancient Tree clone, even if it was only in a crippled state.
However, he had luck. Although the Time Lock innate talent only had a one percent chance of triggering it most of the time, and it would not be triggered many times over the course of several hours. However, even ordinary people would have times when they were lucky. After triggering it many times, there would always be times when they were lucky enough to trigger it consecutively.
As a matter of fact, after enduring for two and a half hours, a normal attack triggered the Time Lock. This time, the luck of the Time Lock was off the charts, triggering the Time Lock twice in a row. When the Time Lock was triggered again, it was triggered again and again.
There was a special term for this state — Nesting Doll.
In an instant, he had seven layers of Nesting Dolls. In these short 11 seconds, he had once again completed the explosive attack that had taken him ten times of Time Roaming. He had directly chopped off a large section of the Golden Ancient Tree's trunk, leaving only a golden tree stump behind.
Fortunately, the Golden Ancient Tree was currently still in its Tier 3 state. Many of its miraculous abilities could not be unleashed. If it had been in its Tier 4 or 5 state, or even higher state, the tree trunk would have grown back in the next second.
However, there were no ifs in this world. If the Golden Ancient Tree had been in its Tier 4 or 5 state, Lin Xiao's clone would have evolved to become even more powerful.
What happened next was needless to say. The Golden Ancient Tree's clone finally lost to the Black Hole's clone.
When the Golden Ancient Tree's clone died, white light once again gathered in the sky.
"Finally, something dropped!"
Lin Xiao's eyes were brimming with tears of excitement. He picked up the item in the ball of light and saw a purple light.
Eternal Tree Heart (Dark Purple): The heart of the Eternal Tree. It contains a portion of its power.
Attributes: Maximum HP + 100%, Maximum Stamina + 100%, HP Recovery Speed + 300%, Stamina Recovery Speed + 300%.
Skills: Life Absorption. Every attack converts 20% of the damage into HP and Stamina to recover the user.
Evaluation: The Eternal Tree is a miracle tree. Although the remnant of the Eternal Tree Heart is no longer a miracle, it still possesses great power.
The quality of the equipment dropped in this world was white, green, blue, purple, orange, and gold. There were a total of six grades. Each grade was further divided into three grades, such as light purple, purple, and dark purple. The attributes of this Eternal Tree Heart were very strong. Dark purple was only one step away from orange legendary.
