Chapter 250: A New Sprout Under the Mother Tree
"Don't forget the treaty we signed. I helped you preserve the soul of the Prince of Thorns. Judging by the passage of time in your senses, there are at least 200 more years of time together. Nazmi said.
"But...... No, no, that's not the real Prince of Thorns! Ivy sighed, "Now even my life can only be used to test the strength of the other party?" β
"Behold, that fellow is one of the terrible demon kings of this world. As a brave man who challenges this world, he also wants to know what the great demon king who protects this world has the ability to do! In this way, the most appropriate tactics can be formulated, and I never engage in a war without intelligence. Nazmi said.
ββ¦β¦ I ......" Ivy breathed in the heart of the tree.
"When we have conquered this dimension completely, your reputation will be among the Heroic Souls for eternity, until the end of time." Nazmi said.
Ivy saw the armored man in front of her hurrying over, breaking through thousands of obstacles, carrying a ten thousand iron rods.
I'm so afraid of pain. And Heras is gone. Ivy thought vaguely.
She imagined how much pain she would have felt if she had been hit. I had to erase the pain as well.
She drove four giant explosive mushrooms to shake off the spores, as easy as moving her fingers.
The four-sided fungus umbrella covers the sky and the sun, and the side facing the earth is full of spore cavities with buds waiting to be released.
Now they rattle and spew out thousands of spores, and they leapt into the earth, ready to join in the grand explosion!
When I looked up, it seemed as if a golden mist was drifting down.
At this time, Ivy also saw the armored man arrive in front of the giant tree.
He locked down where she was hiding, and didn't hesitate to swing the iron rod.
Bang!
He slammed his qi into the tree with all his might, delivering the final blow.
Ivy suddenly felt a strange energy penetrate the bark of the tree, blast into her torso, and stir in the limbs!
This is...... What does it feel like?
Ivy was incredulous.
This energy, which Ivy can only describe as "healthy", flows through her tired mind.
At first it was a tingling pain, like a butterfly's wings flapping gently, caressing her consciousness, but it grew stronger as the energy continued to run through her. Righteousness broke into her soul, which had been corrupted by demons for a long time, and it was radiant!
As if confronted by an eternal enemy, Nazmi's voice and imprints melted away, like a cloud of filth scorched by fire, leaving only Ivy's own emotions and thoughts, which were clear and clean.
The frustration, anger, sorrow, and remorse that had been weighing on her heart for so long faded away like a fog blown away by a fresh wind, and her mind regained clarity and her senses became pure. So much so that she suddenly found that this Prison Tree was extremely ugly.
How could he drive such a depraved and evil plant?
Ivy thought desperately. How could he be a tree that devours human flesh and blood on this parched earth?
And she also saw that all the spores that had been scattered before had been released, forming an explosion cloud of death!
She wields the last of her magic, trying to get the tendrils of sin to stop the vortex of the explosion.
Boomββ!
The explosion begins!
The spores burst in the sky, and an earth-shattering explosion erupted, surpassing all the previous roars!
"You have to 'cover your ears and open your mouth'!" Lydia was startled by the loud explosion.
"That's the sound of firecrackers!" Zhang Su drove the entanglement armor and resisted the surrounding spore explosion with all his might!
The qi was mobilized and formed a protective qi, which was tightly fastened to the outer layer of the armor.
Countless spore bombs detonated, like an apocalyptic scene, shaking the earth, and Zhang Su felt the shock wave violently shake towards him! It's like a tsunami erupting in all directions at the same time.
He gritted his teeth to maintain the armor, so that the energy was firmly locked in the outer layer of the armor, forming an indestructible outer layer of armor, greatly slowing the power of the shockwave and resisting the power of the spore explosion.
Each blow made him feel like he had been hit the top of his head, his body slumping a point, and his feet crushing out of the mud puddle on the ground.
"I can't stand it!" Lydia exclaimed, "I can't stand it! I can't stand it! β
"Don't hold back on me, Lydiaββ!" Zhang Su struggled to maintain the entanglement and stood still.
As long as there is a breath left, he will hold out in the bombardment until the last moment!
The shock triggered wave after wave of earthquakes, and toxic clouds of sulfur and blood red tumbled up, and heat, shock, and glare washed over and over again, destroying the environment.
The surrounding Hell Yama Tree was completely destroyed, and it exploded into pieces in an instant, and the forest was swept away by the raging fire, and even the Hell Yama Giant Tree where Ivy herself was hiding was blown to ashes in a few seconds, and Ivy herself was even more boneless, and its wreckage fell heavily to the ground, and was destroyed by a new round of spore explosion in an instant.
Everything was shattered, and only oneself, like a reed in a hurricane, suffered the chain destruction caused by 40 million explosion spores!
Zhang Su adhered to the belief of vastness and fortitude, and became the only perseverance in this area.
In the vortex of explosions, the entanglement shone with a pale brilliance that never gets easier, illuminating the surroundings like a tower of light.
The red-hot shards disintegrated on impact with the entanglement, and not a single explosion could break through his defenses!
The explosion was like rolling thunder, and it lasted for dozens of seconds before it ended.
The vast expanse of the land was plunged into a boundless sea of flames, and waves of heat rushed into the sky wave after wave.
The clouds released by the burning trees cover the sky, casting dim shadows.
ββ¦β¦ It's over! Lydia looked around in awe.
The last blast spore was consumed, and the ravaged open space fell silent.
"Yes, it's over......" Zhang Su unwrapped his armor and sat on the ground in one breath.
Exhausted.
The energy was greatly consumed in the process, and now only the last weight remained.
"There's nothing left, it's like a cemetery." Lydia said.
yes, those blast spores ruined everything. Zhang Su turned his head. The once-vivid Sea of Hell's Trees had been shattered to pieces, leaving large scorched residues on the ground, creating an eerie tranquility that contrasted sharply with the chaos of the original battle.
Nothing.
Hell Trees, Flowers, Wooden Houses, Roots......
All disappeared like dust in the indiscriminate bombardment of the blast spores.
The ground beneath his feet was as uneven as the surface of the moon, emitting a heat of the butt.
He buried his head in a deep sigh, letting out the pressure that had accumulated during the bombing.
Then Zhang Su stood up, standing in the middle of the wasteland, looking up at the sky.
The freed souls are drifting towards the sky, like countless feathers swimming lightly towards the heights, scattering into points of light.
"Go and become something new, go to reincarnation." Zhang Su waved his hand to the sky, saying goodbye to the souls who had regained their freedom.
This is the core of the Hell Yama Tree, and I'm afraid there are a lot of souls trapped here. Zhang Su thought to himself. Now they're finally free.
Zhang Su stored gas on the spot, and with Guanshi Futu charging, it would take about 30 seconds to recover from zero to a full state. If there is no Guansei Futu, it will take about 24 hours.
During this time, he saw an ethereal figure standing in the center of the embers of battle, followed by another.
"Ivy!"
"Heras!" Ivy's soul reunites with Heras's, "You're still here!" β
"The wooden body that binds me has been destroyed by the impact, and I'm coming for you at once, Ivy!" Heras said with relief.
It's those two souls, Ivy and Heras are dead now, and I'm afraid this is the end for them. Zhang Su thought silently.
"We are all ghosts now, we have no bodies to rely on, we are about to leave this world, we don't know where our souls will drift to, maybe they will disappear completely." Ivy looked up at the scattered points of light.
Heras looked at Ivy with nostalgia.
Suddenly, Heras seemed to have discovered something.
"Ivy, your soul is full of white and condensed light, what is that?" Heras saw the strangeness of Ivy's soul.
"Heras, these are the things he has just filled me with, and I know for the first time what it means to be incomparably fulfilled and satisfied." Ivy happily pointed at Zhang Su.
The air was doubly silent for a moment.
"Huh?" Heras said.
"Wait, you're all dead, it doesn't matter anymore." Zhang Su advised, "It's more important to face yourself." β
"Yes, the two of us are dead, there is nothing left to worry about." Ivy's soul is close to that of Heras.
Heras eventually accepted her.
The two souls are in contact with each other to the point of overlapping.
Zhang Su saw them flicker, exuding a sense of calm and completeness, removing all pain and separation.
They resonate with each other and become eternal echoes of each other's souls.
People often suffer because they can't understand each other. Zhang Su thought to himself.
Soul contact will allow two souls to exchange emotions and thoughts deeply, and it is only then that the highest level of communication and understanding can be achieved between individuals.
After the two souls separated, Ivy and Heras both seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
They held hands, very warmly, and turned to Zhang Su.
"Our story was once told as the Queen of Trees and the Prince of Thorns, and Ah, the demon promised to help me save his soul. But Heras has forgotten not only the love between me and me, but also the identity of the Prince of Thorns. I was always reluctant to admit that he was the Prince of Thorns, and I didn't know if I loved that person or that memory. It is only now that the spirits between us are in harmony again. Ivy said.
Yes, do we love people themselves, or the time and feelings we spend with people? Zhang Su thought to himself. If you are resurrected but lose all your memories, I am afraid that love will not be so sweet.
"Nothing can separate us now, and the years can no longer take any of us." Heras spoke to Ivy affectionately.
His soul gradually became faint and transparent, and so did Ivy's soul.
"Let's go." Ivy shared a sense of calm contentment with Heras's soul for the last time.
The same light rippled through his soul.
Eventually, they dissipated, disappearing like other passing points of light, never to be seen again.
"Death has put an end to them, and there are no traces of them left in the world...... Only a ghost like me is still here, and I may have to serve forever, and even the ghost will not be at peace. Lydia waited.
"The armor will be dismantled before then." Zhang Su regained all his strength and prepared to leave.
"What did they leave behind...... Wait, look! "Lydia scanned something.
Zhang Su turned his head and quickly noticed that something was moving under the soil.
I saw a small bud suddenly grow in the ash-covered soil. The newborn plant grows rapidly, spreading delicate vine-like stalks and a huge flower bud.
Immediately after, a pearl-like fruit bloomed from it.
This ghostly transparent pale green fruit made Zhang Su feel very familiar.
He stepped forward and squatted down to take care of it.
"Do you know what this is?" Zhang Su observed carefully.
"Grain?" Lydia asked.
"This is the Witch's Egg, the Witch's Egg of the Plant Pathway, this is a seed!" Zhang Su said.
"How do you know this so well! Whose child is this? "But if you're going to keep it, you'll have to hurry, for the song is on its way, and if she fights you, the flames will burn the seedling to pieces!" β
Zhang Su nodded, and immediately set about retrieving the witch egg left by Ivy.
"The garden of Anxinin will turn you into a towering tree, a little seedling, and become a witch who is luckier than your mother." Zhang Su carefully took the young plants with the native soil.
Hell Grove, the breakthrough is complete.
