After coming out of the country of rocks, Cathorne took the most elite troops borrowed from Mo Ai and headed east, crossing the border between the Purple Morning Kingdom and Quelstan, and crossing the boundary mountain of the adventurer kingdom, day and night, all the way to the edge of the Western Abyss Forest.

Here, after a little rectification, Kaythorne took out the protective props he had prepared and distributed them to the soldiers who came with him. These unique pieces of equipment were specially created by Kaithorne for several years, and they were all specially created by him to bring back samples from the abyssal forest for analysis, and tailor-made for one day to go deep into the forest. The potions he brought were also the best ones that could not be seen on the market, and they were specially used by the senior generals of the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army. At the same time, he himself also wore some strange costume talismans, and it seemed that he already knew the mysterious forest in front of him in his heart.

After making these preparations, Cathorne led his followers cautiously into the abyssal forest that he had longed for.

Along the way, they encountered many demons and monsters. There are hordes of mutated goblins, solitary mountain and rock beasts, unpredictable void wraiths, and dark creatures with various anomalous effects. However, as if he had expected all of this, Kaythorne had props ready to deal with them. Although the elite brought by him also lost most of them along the way, he finally came to the ancient tree of the Abyss Swamp.

A winding path was paved at the foot of the road, and at the end of the road, an ancient tree rose tall and straight into the sky, standing proudly in the mist.

"That's it." Caythorne pointed at the Heavenly Ancient Tree and said loudly, "As long as I destroy that strange tree, I can gain the power of the Invincible!" ”

However, as soon as he stepped onto the path, a tentacle immediately stretched out from the purple-black swamp and swept towards Caythorne's team. Kaythorne had enough strength to block the tentacles, and he took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. On the other side, the tentacles of the abyss had already staggered his troops, and one of the soldiers was even rolled up by the tentacles and crushed into two pieces, which was miserable. At the front of the road, more tentacles reached out and swept towards Caythorne's team. Kaythorne had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

As soon as he was out of the tentacle's attack range, Caythorn immediately noticed that two figures were walking towards him not far behind. He immediately adjusted his formation, sword in hand, faced the comer, and shouted, "Who? ”

"Yes...... Kay Thorne?! Eugari was taken aback. I didn't expect him to be alive...... I thought it was ......

At this time, Caythorne also recognized the little girl in front of him who had caused him to return with a great defeat and almost lost his life. Not only that, but that defeat also caused Cathorne to lose the base that he had worked hard to run for many years, and also made him lose face in the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army, and his status plummeted. It's like a hatred that doesn't share the sky. As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet. Kaythorne was momentarily angry and ignored the scene, and immediately rushed forward with his long sword.

Seeing the situation, Yugari immediately became nervous, and she turned her staff sideways and took a fighting stance, ready to meet the onslaught of Kaythorne.

At this moment, the dark green plants at the foot of the mountain suddenly merged into two huge humanoid creatures, which raised their huge fists and smashed them in both directions.

Yugari hurriedly cast a double light shield to block the monster's attack, and then cast her own maximum dispel spell to dissipate the attacking monster.

On Kaythorne's side, the elite soldiers first blocked the monster's attack with several special shields, and then with Kaithorne's powerful sweeping skills, the monster was smashed to pieces and shattered.

However, when Kaythorne was about to attack the Eugari again, he suddenly noticed that the smashed plants were gathering and merging, and there were more of the same kind wriggling around, as if they were about to form an even more powerful monster.

"It's not time for a fight at all!" Miria shouted, "If we continue to fight like this, we will all die here!" ”

"I don't need you to talk too much! Ant! Caythorne said viciously.

"So you want to keep fighting? Or do you have the confidence to deal with the monsters on both sides while dealing with us? Miria asked sharply.

Kaythorne was angry, but he wasn't a brave man. He could see the situation in front of him clearly, and he naturally knew which was more important and which was the center of gravity.

"Maybe I can use them to help me get rid of the demons here, and it will be easy to clean them up when I get the power." Thinking of this, Kaythorne adjusted his posture slightly, no longer focusing on Yugari and the others, and then asked loudly, "What are you doing here?" Is it also here to steal the power of the Being? ”

"The power of the unattained? What's that?' Yugari and Miria couldn't help but think to themselves.

Kaythorne saw their momentary doubts, and knew that the purpose of their trip was not the strength they were looking for.

"We're here to collect the Soul Grass over there! It has nothing to do with what kind of power it is. Miria continued, "Since we have different goals, we should put a truce for the time being, and if we want to fight, wait until everyone gets what they want." It's good for everyone! ”

"Humph! I didn't expect an ant like you to be able to give some advice on self-preservation. With that, Cathorne mustered all his strength, and a white glimmer shimmered all over his body, "Attack: Sweep a Thousand Armies!" "The shockwave like a monstrous wave swept towards the huge monster that was about to merge, shaking the valley and blowing away a lot of dense fog. The behemoth collapsed instantly, but the fragments scattered on the ground did not completely die, but still slowly wriggled in one direction.

"Let's take this opportunity to rush over." Yugari shouted. Then he rushed to the winding path with Miria. Although they were still on guard against him when they passed by Kaythorne, everyone knew in their hearts that this was not the time for war.

In the face of the tentacles that kept coming up on both sides, one of Eugari and Miria was responsible for defense, and the other was responsible for repelling, and the cooperation was seamless and very tacit. Miria also used a large number of frost crystals along the way, which if converted into gold coins, it would be enough for all the assets of an ordinary family. On the other side, the shield wall composed of elite troops and Caythorne's sword complemented each other, and they also successfully resisted the attacking tentacles, moving in the direction of the ancient tree.

Just over halfway through the journey, suddenly, countless tentacles stretched out from the boundless swamp as far as the eye could see, not only numerous, but also thicker and taller than before. These terrifying creatures, swaying their huge bodies, swept towards Yugari and them like the top of Tarzan. Before they could react, they saw a flock of strange birds rushing out of the black pressure above the ancient tree, accompanied by the cry of "quack", and the mouth was overflowing with black energy, and they all pounced towards Youjiali and them.

"Sacred, Sacred Barrier!" In the nick of time, Yogari's ramparts fended off the frenzied attacks of the monsters, keeping the endless darkness out. Although Cathorne had brought some elite troops, several soldiers were already trembling with fear in the face of the ghostly attacks outside and the howling of ghosts and wolves around them, and even sat down completely on the ground.

"The barrier shouldn't last long." Yugari thought to herself.

"Are you helpless? Idiot. Kaythorne sarcastically behind him.

"You're not the same yourself." Miria retorted unconvinced.

"Humph! Don't compare me to you bunch of shit. ”

"I can get rid of these monsters. Take advantage of the opportunity to run to the ancient tree. Yugari said with great certainty.

Yugari's attitude surprised Cathorne, "Don't be overwhelmed, it's up to you?" ”

"I don't know what your purpose is, but it doesn't matter if you attack with the ancient tree, right?"

"It couldn't be better."

With that, Yugari raised her staff, "Divine Cheats - Galaxy's Withering"! With the chanting of the spell, a holy light immediately tore open in the dark sky, like the morning light appearing on the top of a high mountain, instantly peeling off the layers of darkness and illuminating the entire Demon Slayer Valley. Countless rays of light shimmering with divine energy fell down on Yugari like a dense meteor shower, dissipating the huge tentacles, flocks of strange birds, and the vegetation in the distance. Even the ancient tree in front of him was full of holes in the impact, and countless branches fell from the canopy and turned into gray dust. Although the ancient tree of Tongtian was tenaciously repairing itself, it was obviously heavily traumatized and lost a lot of its vitality.

Kaythorne didn't have time to surprise Yugari's performance, and he immediately organized an elite army to rush forward. However, the towering ancient tree did not completely give up resistance. More than ten black fruits fell from the sky, turning into the appearance of Caythorne, with a black aura, wielding a pitch-black long sword, and killing them.

"Attack: Sweep a Thousand Armies!" Another terrifying wave of attacks unleashed, and the few dark Caythorns who rushed to the front instantly disappeared. "Damn! The remaining energy is almost exhausted, this damn monster!' Before he had time to think about it, the monsters behind him had already rushed to him, and Cathorne had to slow down and organize his soldiers to fight. Miria had also cast the Frost Crystal and joined the fray.

Although the fruits that mutated into Kaythorne are not as good as the main body, they still have almost half the strength of the main body, and behind them, there is a steady stream of new fruits falling and joining the battle, which makes it more and more difficult for Yujali, who is already struggling, and the front retreats again and again.

"Hey, dead girl!" Kaythorne yelled angrily at Eugari behind her, "Aren't you going to summon necromancers? Don't hurry up and cast a spell yet! ”

"Huh?" Suddenly called out by Kaythorne, Yujali paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes, yes, but you need a corpse to summon it." ”

"How many at most?"

"Three. Only three Necromantic Berserkers can be kept at a time. ”

"The one that was cut in two is right on the side, isn't it?"

"Huh? Yes. Yes, yes. Before Yugari could finish speaking, she saw Caythorn raise his sword and cut off the heads of the two seriously injured soldiers beside him, "There are two more here!" Enough?! ”

"You guy!" Yujali was about to reprimand, but Kaythorne scolded loudly, "It's important to save your own life, why do you care so much?" It's stupid! Do you want to wait for this strange tree to recover, and then attack it with the tentacles on both sides? ”

At this time, Yugari also noticed that new tentacles had grown in the swamps on both sides, but they did not participate in the battle because they were still immature. However, judging by their growth rate, it should not be long before they revert to their former behemoths. And after being consumed again and again, there is not much mana left. Although she strongly disagreed with Cathorne's approach, in desperation, Yugari had no choice but to raise her staff and let the three powerful necromantic berserkers participate in the battle.

With the entry of the three Necromantic Berserkers, the tide of battle gradually began to turn, and Yugari and the others rushed to the ancient tree again. Miria took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle, pulling Yugari and began to collect the surrounding Torment Grass.

Faced with the ancient tree of Babel, which was rapidly repairing its body, Caythorn took out a huge scroll that shimmered with golden light from the magical space. The dazzling light illuminated the surrounding soldiers who couldn't open their eyes for a while.

Now, let me witness this historic moment. Thank you for the scrolls, old fox! With that, Kaythorne began to chant a spell to unleash the power in the scroll.

In an instant, the ten thousand rays of light emitted by the scroll were like sacred golden ribbons that wrapped the ancient tree from the bottom to the top, and began to continuously absorb the dark energy of the ancient tree. The ancient tree that reached the sky trembled violently as if it had gone crazy at this time, shaking the entire Demon Slayer Valley Mountain, and almost everyone was shaken to the ground, unable to stand. The fallen branches turned into long black snakes and pounced on Cathorne, who forced the soldiers around him to rush forward to block the black snake's attack. The withered leaves fell, turning into pitch-black moths, and swarms surged towards Cathorne. With the greatsword in his hand, he used the last of his energy, constantly sweeping through the impact of the moths, buying his scroll one last time. Even on Yugari's side, the underground rocks and soil have also drilled out of the ground, forming dwarf black rock beasts that attack Yugari and the others. Eugari and Miria had to put down their work and were forced to fight.

As time passed, more than half of the elite soldiers had been lost, and there were less than ten people left, and all of them were traumatized to varying degrees. Kaithorne was exhausted, staggering and wielding his sword, attacking aimlessly. Even the three Necromantic Berserks have been drowned in the sea of fruit monsters and cannot be found.

The golden ribbon wrapped around the ancient tree had already turned extremely black by this time. The old tree, which had been violently trembling, had lost its vitality, and its haggard and pale bark had begun to fall off in large areas, and there was not much left of the dry and withered branches and leaves. As the black ribbon turned into pieces of paper and sprinkled into the air, the ancient tree that reached the sky suddenly shattered, collapsed and collapsed and disappeared into the quiet valley along with the monsters it spawned. Only a dark book of cheats is left floating in its original place.

"Aha——!" Although he was already exhausted, Kaythorne had long forgotten all the unhappiness at this time, and laughed wildly, "I...... I've been waiting for this moment for years. Today, I will stand at the top of the world! With that, he staggered towards the cheats with his sword.
