Three days later.

When Leo completely honed his sword skills with the surging physical fitness and stepped out of the battle group station, he saw the three [Vortex Girls] sitting around the bonfire in the Muhuo area.

From the outside, the three of them are nothing serious except for their pale faces, and the [two women] who originally only had one head left, don't know how to regrow their bodies.

Of course, this was only the surface, and Leo could sense the weakening of the vitality and soul origin of the three people.

This kind of weakness is somewhat similar to the situation of the saint Shireen in the past, and she needs to rely on bathing in the fire to recover slowly.

However, it was already a fluke to be able to recover from the sealing of the Crimson Crystal.

Feeling the appearance of a familiar breath, the three [Vortex Girl] who closed their eyes and meditated opened their eyes for the first time, and when they saw that it was "chasing the light", their eyes showed complex and excited colors.

Since being trapped in the Crimson Crystal by the Great Lord of the Abyss, the three of them have lost all perception of the outside world, but judging from the fact that they can safely return to the Burning Shrine, Leo should have defeated the Great Lord of the Abyss.

When they first woke up, the three of them who realized this fact fell into an unprecedented shock.

A terrifying and powerful enemy that could not be defeated by the strength of the three of them and by all means, they lost to "Chasing Light" in a one-on-one situation?!

Incredible!

However, no matter how hard they could believe it, when the facts were in front of them, the three of them had to believe it.

It's just that I can't help but feel the strength of Lord Chasey.

Yes, Lord Chasing Light. In the transcendent world, the strong are respected, and the strength of "chasing light" is a big class stronger than them, and it is not an exaggeration to call them adults.

After the shock, what emerged in the hearts of the three of them was excitement.

After defeating the Great Lord of the Abyss, Scarlet, Lord "Chasing the Light" naturally obtained the [Boundary Source].

Before the Great Lord of the Abyss Scarlet was not weakened, his strength far surpassed that of the Demon God Beginner Rank, and after death, he naturally dropped more [Boundary Origin].

Although the three of them didn't contribute much in the battle with the Great Lord of the Abyss, Scarlet, it was better to exchange [Boundary Source] from the hands of Lord "Chasing Light" than to hunt another Demon God-level person, right?

This experience made the three of them feel palpitations.

The Demon God level is more powerful than they imagined.

What's more, the three people who lost their hole cards have no possibility of ambushing the demon god level again.

"You're awake." Coming to the campfire and finding a random place to sit down, Leo looked at the three [Vortex Girl] and smiled, he took out a few bottles of good wine from the campfire from his arms and threw them at the three of them.

No matter what, it's a good thing that the three of them survived.

Along the way, although I am used to loneliness, I can be a little less lonely with three or two acquaintances.

"Thank you, Lord Chasing Light, for saving your life."

A voice with a cold color came from the mouth of [Vortex Girl], and she caught the thrown wine bottle, and her delicate pretty face was full of seriousness.

The Uzumaki mask had shattered in the previous battle, revealing her true face, and she had no intention of continuing to hide her face in the face of her three comrades who had fought together.

Beside him, although he didn't speak, he nodded heavily, and his face was re-sealed, resealing the evil spirits released in the previous battle.

Nils was the least inhibited of the three of them facing Leo now, and he laughed: "Sure enough, Your Excellency Chasing Light, I didn't misunderstand you, your strength is unfathomable, but fortunately I invited you to go with me this time."

Leo smiled faintly, took out three neatly divided boundary source crystals from his arms, and threw them to the three of them: "Well, your trophies, one for each person."

The three of them subconsciously raised their hands, and after taking it, they looked at the treasure they had dreamed of for so many years in their hands, and their feelings were complicated.

The three of them refused without pretentiousness, because they really, really needed it.

As the pioneers of the Burning Shrine, they have endured years of life-and-death battles in the sacred tree of Flvedea, and like Leo, they have the same reason to go back

Composed.

Originally, the three of them were still thinking about what to exchange for, after all, the Boundary Source is an incomparably precious thing even for the Demon God level.

Even if they sign a long-term contract of validity, as long as they can obtain it, they are willing to eat it.

But unexpectedly, before they could say anything, Leo gave them the source of the realm......

Without speaking, in silence, Nils flicked the cap of the wine bottle in his hand with a bend of his thumb, gestured to Leo, and then poured "Tun Tun Tun" into his mouth.

[Vortex Girl] and [Liangwu] also toasted.

Leo smiled, he had never been a person who liked to be polite among friends, and this way of getting along made him very comfortable, and he lifted the wine bottle and took a big sip.

Putting down the wine bottle, because they deliberately relaxed and did not resist the effect of alcohol, all four of them had a slight flush on their faces.

The wine produced by the Burning Sacrifice is a bit more expensive, and it has no other effect, but at least it can make the demigod-level existence feel drunk without deliberately resisting, which is not easy.

After all, the physical fitness of the demigod level is too exaggerated.

After a few sips of wine, the atmosphere of the four-person room suddenly relaxed.

Leo hadn't experienced what it was like to be drunk for a long, long time, when was the last time? It seems that when he was still in Lanxing, the five-year-old was curious about the wine and secretly took a few sips, and then was choked and coughed?

The distant picture was turned out of the dusty memory, and looking at the beating bonfire in front of him, Leo suddenly felt homesick.

Home......

On the other side, Nils, who had poured more than a dozen bottles of wine, turned red, and there was a slight intoxication in his eyes, but he was still clear on the whole: "Chase the light, and then I am going to try to break through the demon god, and if I can succeed, I plan to go to the deepest part of the sacred tree Flvideya."

"If there's a way out of here, it's the most likely place."

"Me too." [Vortex girl] nodded seriously, and after drinking, her flushed face became even more coquettish, giving people a feeling of being bullied. Maybe she used to wear a mask to add to her sense of majesty?

[The two of them] were as taciturn as ever, just nodding.

The breakthrough of the Demon God level is not 100%, but the three of them have been stuck in the demigod limit for a long time, and there is no way to advance, and breaking through the Demon God level is the only way in front of them.

They don't have a choice.

Leo nodded, he had no position, and he didn't have the qualifications to stop the three.

From the beginning of embarking on the road to transcendence, it is destined to be bumpy.

Don't look at Leo himself all the way through to the present, but in fact, on the transcendent road, warriors, knights, transcendental, legendary, demigods, demon gods, one pass after another, stopped an unknown number of people, and countless people died on the breakthrough pass.

And the Demon God level, as the level of qualitative change between humans and gods, is far more difficult to break through than before.

Even if they have been immersed in the demigod limit for tens or hundreds of years, even if they have [Boundary Source], the success rate of the three of them breaking through is less than two percent.

If the breakthrough is successful, you will naturally master the power of the world and achieve the demon god, and if you fail to break through, you will die and die, scattered in the heavens and the earth, and nothing will be left.

At that time, this wine will become a farewell feast.

But none of the three cared.

Along the way, the ups and downs have long been seen through.

Originally, they had no boundary source, and they didn't even have a chance to break through, but now that they have this opportunity to fight, what is there not to be satisfied with?

"When the time comes, together."

Leo said.

The four of them looked at each other, and their eyes were all smiling.

……

There is always an end to the feast.

Leo is going to [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] to defeat some monsters and obtain soul transformation magic crystals to increase his mana cap, and by the way, he will upgrade the [Power of the Holy Origin], while [Vortex Girl], [Liangwu], and [Sun] Nils continue to bathe in the fire by the campfire

Recover, and when they reach the peak of their state, they will start to close the death level and try to break through the Demon God level.

Being able to meet again represents a breakthrough success, and if we don't see each other again, there is no need to talk about the ending.

The light and shadow flowed, and when the sight in front of him returned to normal, Leo came to the [inner perimeter of the sacred tree] again.

In the air, there seemed to be a slight smell of burning from the battle of three days ago, and within a radius of a kilometer, the earth was withered and reddened, which was the destruction caused by the continuous erosion of the scarlet power.

If one day, after Leo mastered the power of the world, he could try to dispel these scarlet powers, and now, although he has a combat power comparable to that of a demon god, he has not mastered the power of the world in essence, and he cannot affect the surrounding environment on such a large scale.

After thinking about it, Leo continued to walk into the depths.

Unlike the [Outer Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], which is a complete area, the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] is actually divided into two areas, with a radius of 50~70 kilometers for the upper half of the area, and a radius of 30~50 kilometers for the lower half.

The boundary between the two, with a radius of 50 kilometers, is the town defender [Pureblood Knight of the Deep Dirt] Flanders.

Defeat it and become a third-order Fire Pact, gaining the ability to resist higher concentrations of distortion and contamination, and then you will be able to explore the lower half of the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree].

However, for Leo, whether or not he was promoted to the rank of Fire Pact had little impact on his exploration of the Sacred Tree Flvideya.

The intensity of his own distortion pollution is much higher than that of the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree].

That is, he controls, and once he dies or loses control, he will instantly pollute a large area and turn it into a distorted dead land.

Stepping into the lower half of the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], he could indeed feel the sudden increase in the intensity of distortion pollution in the environment, Leo calmly walked along the path formed by the convergence of tree roots under his feet, and the thick gray mist that filled the surroundings was in the eyes of his grandmaster-level eagles, within 240 meters, a slender one.

Not long after he walked forward, Leo encountered a monster, the pure-blood knight of the sacred tree covered in black sarcoma and deformities becoming more and more severe.

Its strength is much stronger than the pure-blooded knight of the Holy Tree in the upper half of the region, and it is about the peak of the middle level of the demigod ~ the high level of the demigod.

However, for the current Leo, there is not much difference between the demon god, the demigod beginner level, or the demigod peak.

Without waiting for the Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree to charge at him, Leo put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, made a sword finger shape, and gently waved it towards the void in the direction of the Pure-Blood Knight of the Holy Tree.

In an instant, the power of transcendence condensed into a sword qi that flashed across the neck of the pure-blooded knight of the Holy Tree.

The pure-blooded knight of the Sacred Tree, who had not yet discovered Leo, stiffened, his head slipped off, and as soon as he landed, it shattered into countless powders.

The moment the sword qi entered his body, it eroded the whole body of this Sacred Tree pure-blood knight, strangling his skin, muscles, bones, internal organs and other flesh and blood tissues.

The transcendent power of the Demon God level is not at all something that the pure-blooded knights of the Holy Tree can withstand.

It wasn't long before a mass of souls flew in from afar, levitating in front of Leo.

Leo glanced at the progress of the [Power of the Sacred Origin].

——

[Divine Power Lv.2 (213/300)]: The sacred tree grants its guardian knight special powers, which can inflict burning damage equal to 15% of the maximum mana value (previously 10%) to enemies when attacking.

(The Power of the Sacred Origin, which represents the bond between the Sacred Tree Knight and the Sacred Tree Flvedia, the higher the level of this skill, the less suppressed it will be when approaching the Sacred Tree.) ）

——

Before fighting [Deep Tainted Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders, he killed the many Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights who had fallen from the Kilometer-Long Black Flesh Giant Tree and turned into fruits, which greatly improved the progress of the [Sacred Source Power] skill.

At Lv.2, killing a Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree in the upper half of the sector increases progress by 3 points, and a Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree in the lower half increases progress by 4 points.

Right now, he only needs to kill 22 more Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights in the lower half of the district, and [Sacred Source Power] can advance again.

For this skill, Leo values it very much.

Chatting with the three of them at the banquet

, he learned a lot of information about the Holy Tree Flvedia, one of which was "deep suppression".

When you reach the junction between the lower half of the [Inner Sacred Tree] and the [Sacred Tree Core], "Deep Suppression" will begin to appear.

From then on, the closer you get to the body of the sacred tree, the greater the inhibition will become, and even if it is a burning sacrificial place, there is no way to deal with it at present.

Perhaps there is a place of incineration, but it requires a fourth-order fire contractor to reach it.

However, if you want to be promoted to the fourth-order fire contract, you need to defeat a gatekeeper whose strength is comparable to that of the demon god.

And the three strongest [Vortex Girls] in the previous Burning Sacrifice Place, even if the means are exhausted, it is impossible to defeat the Demon God level who is not affected by the "Deep Inhibition" under the premise of "Deep Inhibition".

Therefore, there is naturally no way to know the information of the fourth order.

And the so-called "deep suppression", in Leo's opinion, should be the "suppression" mentioned in the introduction to the [Power of the Holy Origin] skill.

As long as the [Power of the Holy Origin] is raised to a high enough level, the closer you get to the Sacred Tree Fulvedea itself, not only will the strength not be suppressed, but it may be increased.

This is not Leo's unwarranted speculation.

Holy Font ...... Sacred Tree ......

Judging from the name, you can see the close connection between the two.

Looking at the Sacred Tree Knight's soul in his hand, Leo had a thought and chose to transform it into a magic crystal.

With the flickering of the soul light, the soul that was originally flame-like quickly transformed into a transparent crystal with a regular shape.
