The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron - Chapter 650

Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Undying Tree

“Stop talking nonsense. I can’t just use my sword at will. If I could, I would have used it already!” said Fang Lin irritably. He could already feel the wooden thorn absorbing his flesh and blood essence.

Chi Yunxiao struck first.

A purple pearl flew out from his Nine Palace Bag, instantly releasing ten thousand bolts of thunder. Its power was horrifying.

“It’s the Thunder Soul Orb!” the black skeleton revealed a shock on its face, its eyes filled with desire and greed.

Chi Yunxiao summoned the Thunder Soul Orb, and the terrifying power of thunder and lightning was more than ten times stronger than his own strength.

The branches entangling them were instantly blasted open by the power of thunder and lightning, freeing everyone from danger and restoring their freedom.

But it didn’t stop there. A giant thunder lightning hand thrust out from the Thunder Soul Orb, wielding the power of ten thousand thunders and pressing down on the black skeleton.

The black skeleton no longer dared to be arrogant. The Thunder Soul Orb was incredibly powerful, a supreme treasure of thunder, possessing an extremely dominant power.

The black skeleton plunged one hand into the ancient tree and quickly pulled out a decaying longsword.

Buzz!

The black skeleton swung the longsword, and the sword immediately erupted with a terrifying aura, severely striking the Thunder Soul Orb.

With a thunderous boom, the terrifying thunder and Sword Qi intertwined. Everyone was immediately overturned by a massive airwave.

The Thunder Soul Orb flew back, its light slightly dim, but it was unscathed, though it had expended a considerable amount of power.

Looking at the decaying longsword, it had already broken into two pieces, completely destroyed.

The black skeleton’s eyes were filled with heartache. Although this sword was already very decayed and on the brink of collapse, it could still be used for a while if carefully maintained.

But unexpectedly, a collision with the Thunder Soul Orb had completely destroyed it.

“You destroyed my treasured sword, compensate with your treasures!” The black skeleton was furious, reaching out to try and snatch the Thunder Soul Orb.

Seeing the dangerous situation, Chi Yunxiao quickly put the Thunder Soul Orb back in his bag.

At this moment, Mei Yingxue also pulled out her trump card.

A pure white ancient lamp appeared, like a blooming lotus, with white flames flickering within.

As soon as this white ancient lamp appeared, waves of white flames swept out.

“No good!” The black skeleton was greatly shocked. It quickly drew back its arm, but it was too late; it had been grazed by the white flame.

Suddenly, the white flame began to burn like Bone Maggotts on the pitch-black hand bone. The contrast of black and white was striking.

The black skeleton immediately showed a look of pain. This flame was not ordinary, even its body, tougher than millennium black iron, could not withstand the burning of the white flame.

The black skeleton began to spew out black smoke from its mouth in an attempt to put out the flame on its hand.

Meanwhile, a bright light shot out from the white ancient lamp, shining on the black skeleton.

“Ahhhh!!!!!!”

The black skeleton immediately felt intense pain all over its body. This light carried a very special power that seemed to greatly restrain it, as if the body was about to melt under this light.

The ancient tree shook, as if it were about to uproot itself. The black skeleton, fused with the ancient tree, howled one after another.

The next moment, the black skeleton retracted back into the ancient tree.

Thus, the light from the white ancient lamp could no longer shine on the black skeleton.

The ancient tree suddenly moved, a thick branch whistled and knocked away the pure white ancient lamp.

The white flame fell onto the ancient tree, but strangely, it did not ignite.

“Hmm?” Mei Yingxue puckered her brows. By all accounts, fire should have a significant restraining effect on wood. Yet, this ancient tree completely ignored the white flame, with no effect on it whatsoever.

Fang Lin had been staring at the ancient tree for a while before he finally said, “It’s an Undying Tree. It transcends the Five Elements. Fire and water can’t harm it.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was secretly shocked. So, this was the famous Undying Tree.

The Undying Tree is an exception among trees. It can survive even without soil and can take root anywhere. Even in the midst of raging fires, it can continue growing generation after generation.

The life span of such a tree is incredibly long. It can live for thousands of years without rotting.

The Undying Tree in front of them had clearly survived for a long time. It had already started to decay, but it could also be because the dark skeletons had merged with it, absorbing the life force of the Undying Tree, bringing it close to death.

Even so, the Undying Tree itself was extremely powerful and ordinary attacks would barely scratch it.

The dark skeleton merged with it and could be considered as part of the Undying Tree. It employed the body of the Undying Tree to battle, rendering it immune to Mei Yingxue’s pure white ancient lamp.

“Retreat!”

Seeing the Undying Tree charging at them, everyone promptly retreated to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Undying Tree.

After all, the body of the Undying Tree was extremely hard. If it charged directly at them, the impact would be equivalent to a moving mountain.

Wang Erdan wanted to join in but he was already injured and could now hardly contribute.

Dugu Ruoxu hesitated for a moment before finally slapping his Nine Palace Bag, producing a rectangular jade box.

Everyone turned their attention to the jade box, all were taken aback. The box was actually made from the exceedingly precious Sky Warming Jade.

Such a large piece of Sky Warming Jade was merely used to make a box, so what item of even greater value did the box contain?

Seeing the Undying Tree charging at them, Dugu Ruoxu quickly opened the jade box, taking out an oddly shaped long knife from within the box.

The moment the knife was held in Dugu Ruoxu’s hand, it was accompanied by waves of demonic Qi rising into the air. On the blade, there were faintly discernible demonic shadows.

It was a Demon Blade!

Dugu Ruoxu was proficient in using the sword as well as the blade. This Demon Blade was one of the Dugu Family’s treasures. Only the most outstanding member of each generation was eligible to possess it.

At that moment, Dugu Ruoxu swung the Demon Blade, directly slicing at the Undying Tree.

The Demon Blade was astonishingly powerful. As it moved, it filled the air with demonic Qi, accompanied by the roaring of Ancient Demons.

The Undying Tree’s charge abruptly came to a halt, with a visible trace left on its body. This was indeed left by the slicing of the Demon Blade.

Dugu Ruoxu grunted. Although the Demon Blade was powerful, his own strength was not enough to bring forth its full potential.

“You all possess such valuables. But after today, they will all belong to me.” The voice of the black bone skeleton came from within the Undying Tree, ominous in its tone.

Boom!

The Undying Tree uprooted, flying into the air. Below its roots were faces in the throes of pain and lament.

“Suppress them!” With a furious roar from the black bone skeleton, the Undying Tree furiously plummeted towards everyone.

Dugu Ruoxu struck again with his Demon Blade, the pure white ancient lamp of Mei Yingxue also confronting it head-on. Sensing his dire situation, Chi Yunxiao gritted his teeth, and once again produced the Thunder Soul Orb.
