Chapter 562
Zhao Xing felt like he had drunk a belly full of water, his whole body swaying, and he felt like he couldn't walk.
Controlling the Tree Person Clan like a straw man on his upper body was different after all.
"Giant Elephant Divine Tree Clan? This is another kind of god-level troop. God King Yuheng is truly immensely wealthy."
The spirit lake water sloshing inside the trunk was not a good thing after all, greatly affecting his actions. The Giant Elephant Divine Tree Clan had a tree heart inside, which was a natural storage space. Zhao Xing pondered putting the lake water back into the tree heart, but he had only received half of it when he saw the black fortress set off again, as if it was no longer waiting for this straggler.
Zhao Xing "seized the house" of this tree person clan and also learned a lot of information from the tree person's true spirit.
Unlike the Moyi Fortress seen before, the black castle was also a fusion of many mutant plants, named "Saoshen".
However, it did not fly into the sky, but instead burrowed into the ground.
God King Yuheng's plant legion possessed different functions. There were no fewer than ten thousand such camp fortresses, almost capable of adapting to any environment in the universe and fighting anywhere.
"Must catch up quickly." The camp fortress follows certain rules of action. The Saoshen Fortress does not stay on the ground for too long. Once the time is up, no matter if the troops living inside have returned or not, it will set off.
"Swish~" Zhao Xing shrank the main body of the Giant Elephant Divine Tree, barely turning it into the appearance of a tree person, only the torso was a circle larger.
Then he quickly flew towards the Saoshen Fortress. Once left for too long, it would become a "wild species" and be devoured by other legions. The Saoshen Fortress was long and narrow, with many leaves attached to the outside. The veins were natural arrays, forming a barrier. However, the barrier was not smooth; some parts were serrated, and some were spiral.
When Zhao Xing approached, the barrier cracked open, actively sucking him back and landing on a square platform.
"~" Dense vines deep under the platform wrapped around Zhao Xing's ankles.
There were many other tree people nearby, all of whom had taken root, about eighty or so, all at the Divine Soldier level.
Zhao Xing followed suit and began to release the water from the tree heart to the Saoshen Fortress mother body.
"~" Yi Shui, why so long? Almost didn't catch up. Zhao Xing heard a voice and found it came from a tree stump nearby. The tree stump also had a withered and wrinkled face.
Yi Shui was the name of the tree person he had seized, named after the place where it was born.
"Peng, I drank too much." Zhao Xing replied.
"Stupid." The tree person 'Peng' mocked.
Because Peng and Yi Shui were familiar, Zhao Xing didn't dare to chat much, and then pretended to be tired, not saying a word.
There was only the sound of gurgling water on the platform.
These tree people were responsible for providing some nutrients that the mother tree couldn't easily grab, such as water.
After years of evolution, the Saoshen had evolved away some useless functions in the collective, such as absorbing water. It wasn't that it couldn't, but it had to change its main body and expose its fragile core to take it, which was not as good as letting the attached Tree Person Clan do this thing.
"Thump!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise. Zhao Xing turned his head to look, and the black wall not far away suddenly lit up, forming a vortex, which was exactly where it came from.
"Click!"
The second sound came, and two human bodies suddenly appeared in the vortex, but soon the divine image couldn't be maintained, turning into the original body, but it was a mushroom with a strange shape, only it was broken into several petals and was very dry.
Zhao Xing was a bit surprised, but saw Peng nearby very excited: "General Tianji won again, so amazing! He actually absorbed a Moyi General."
Then a figure with a black torso and a body significantly taller than the other tree people appeared, accepting the cheers and worship of the tree people on the four platforms.
Zhao Xing suddenly realized. The Moyi Clan was the mushroom clan he had seen before, and the Saoshen Fortress lived with the Giant Elephant Tree People.
This tree person general named Tianji had absorbed a Moyi.
"God King Yuheng lets plant legions compete and kill each other to complete evolution." Zhao Xing observed the Giant Elephant Tree Divine General 'Tianji'.
"The Giant Elephant Tree Person's talent divine skill focuses on defense and control, but this one has absorbed the source poison characteristics of the Mushroom Clan,"
"and new divine skills have appeared."
"Plant legions are constantly evolving in the inner world, continuously giving birth to troops with extremely strong combat power."
"According to Yi Shui's memory, there are more than a million god-level troops. Even if each one is just like Yi Shui, jointly performing legion divine skills, the power is too terrifying. Not to mention there are powerful individuals like General Tianji."
⊙⊙¢o
The Saoshen Fortress traveled underground for three months, and Zhao Xing also clarified the memory of the seized tree person.
"On General Tianji, there is a General Order."
"Entering the final trial from the east of the Soldier Divine Domain, the key lies in obtaining a General Order. Only with the General Order can one climb the God King Tower."
"But how can I kill General Tianji."
Zhao Xing deduced through the panel that General Tianji was equivalent to a peak human divine general, and the divine origin contained in his body was even stronger than that of a peak human divine general.
Plant life is inherently difficult to grow and takes longer. Among the same level, they are overlord-level existences, not to mention these plant troops have high intelligence.
"Without using pill books and divine objects, I can only exert the combat power of a mid-stage divine general. Can I use firecrackers to blow up General Tianji?" Zhao Xing evaluated the feasibility.
But in the end, he couldn't find any good opportunity.
First, firecrackers might not blow up General Tianji, because the Giant Elephant Tree God is good at defense, and the Saoshen Fortress itself has extremely high defense. It's possible that he didn't blow up General Tianji, but blew himself up instead.
Secondly, after obtaining the General Order, he still has to cross this forest, so it's better to stay here and wait for the opportunity.
Sixty-seven years passed, and Zhao Xing had completely mixed into the Tree Person Clan, skillfully playing his role.
"The Saoshen Fortress has been conquering, hunting other camp fortresses, and this General Tianji has gained two more divine skills in sixty-seven years. It's simply..."
"I definitely can't blow it up."
As time passed, Zhao Xing also saw General Tianji make a move twice, which was a battle caused by encountering other camp fortresses.
Making a move twice, this Giant Elephant Tree God defeated other plant troops and achieved victory.
Every time it won, it would gain a new god-level talent.
"If General Tianji continues to advance, won't it become a mother tree?" Zhao Xing thought of the Myriad Dao Mother Tree trial.
"Or will it become a fusion monster like a castle?"
With more and more talent divine skills, General Tianji's origin was not as perfect as when Zhao Xing first saw it.
"The three thousand Dao seeds in the Primordial Realm also fuse many divine abilities, but such fusion will have problems after reaching a certain upper limit."
"General Tianji cannot keep fusing like this at the divine general level. Either break through, or turn into an existence like a castle."
Zhao Xing seemed to have realized something.
He seemed to be able to perceive some of God King Yuheng's thoughts.
Another thirty-five years passed, and Zhao Xing saw an opportunity.
This year, the Divine Fortress plundered many resources and gave a big feedback to all the Tree Person Clans.
Peng also got an advancement, evolving from a mid-stage Divine Soldier to a late-stage Divine Soldier.
As for Zhao Xing, the tree person clan he seized also got an advancement, and the power of his talent skills became stronger.
The memory Zhao Xing obtained from seizing was not complete. He didn't know if such feedback had happened before, because there was no such thing in the memory.
"Peng, why did the mother tree give us such a big gift?"
"Yi Shui, because the Overlord Battle is about to start." Peng said excitedly,
"All camp fortresses, when they grow to a certain extent, must rush to the front of the God King Tower for an Overlord Battle."
"Only the Overlord can obtain the summons of the Main God and obtain the gift of the Main God."
"What about those who failed the Overlord Battle?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Failed?" Peng pointed to the ground with a tree branch, "Failure turns into nutrients for the Overlord, serving the Main God in another way."
God King Yuheng really washed the consciousness of these plant legions clearly.
"The Overlord Battle, perhaps this is an opportunity." Zhao Xing secretly thought, "As long as I can survive in the melee, perhaps I can fish out a General Order."
The trial of this level is to obtain the General Order, but the General Order is in the hands of plant troops like General Tianji.
And the General Order is also under the protection of the mother tree, surrounded by many small soldiers.
Whether it is frontal killing or subduing with mind and willpower, it is very difficult to do.
"Only this melee is an opportunity." Zhao Xing secretly thought.
There were less than two hundred years left until the Overlord Battle, and General Tianji's plundering became more and more frequent, constantly chasing and killing other plant troops.
Zhao Xing rarely went to battle, because the one he seized was not a combat-type tree person. Yi Shui's talent was mainly used to serve the mother tree.
However, he was not idle, constantly pondering the Earth-Hidden Law and the Life Dao Diagram of firecrackers.
Occasionally, he would contact Old Qing through cause and effect to see which trial he was in, but there was no reaction at all.
He deduced that this was God King Yuheng's inner world, and God King Yuheng was a god-hidden one, so normal causal spells simply couldn't take effect.
Zhao Xing could only pray for Old Qing to seek his own blessings.
He couldn't find anyone, and he didn't know how to save him.
One hundred and seventy-three years later, the Saoshen Fortress broke through the ground.
As the mud and sand slid off the barrier, Zhao Xing saw a magnificent tall tower standing on the green grassland ahead.
"Already moved to the edge of the core of the Soldier Divine Domain."
Before he could see it clearly, the bright sunlight dimmed again.
Zhao Xing looked, but an aerial fortress moved above the Saoshen Fortress, blocking the sun.
The fortress was a cylinder lying in the sky, just like a piece of rotten wood flying into the sky.
The trunk was extremely massive, and many plants grew on it. Zhao Xing looked closely, and it was actually a bamboo forest.
And it looked like it was hanging upside down, with the bamboo tips pointing to the ground.
"Hum~"
The shadow began to distort, and a large amount of light shone down.
Zhao Xing was highly nervous, because he smelled the smell of danger.
"Shoo shoo shoo."
A large amount of red light pillars fell down. After seeing clearly, Zhao Xing felt terrible.
"Grass, firecrackers?"
Inside the red-to-black light pillars were bamboo sticks. He deduced that it was firecrackers for the first time, because he had been blown up once, and he was too familiar with this.
"Ambushed!"
"It's the Myriad Bamboo Army!"
"Quickly protect the mother tree!"
"General..."
There were no rules for the Overlord Battle; as long as you entered this area, it was a slaughter.
At this time, it was too late to burrow into the ground. General Tianji immediately controlled the mother tree to curl up into a ball. Vines wrapped around the outside of the Saoshen Fortress, just like ropes piled up.
At the same time, Zhao Xing found that his feet were wrapped by vines again, and at the same time, a powerful consciousness descended, extracting the vitality of the tree person.
He found that Peng was also like this, fixed on the platform, while General Tianji was at the highest point of the mother tree, hands raised to the sky, revealing the true body of the Giant Elephant Tree God, whose crown bloomed rapidly, and the Dao patterns between the branches and leaves resonated, forming another defense.
Just as it was propped up, the explosion began.
"!"
Although it didn't explode on his body, Zhao Xing still felt a sharp pain, and at the same time lost control of the tree person's body, turning into the original body.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Continuous explosions sounded above the Saoshen Fortress. Zhao Xing found that his tree person body began to drop leaves constantly, the bark was blown up and curled,
and the branches also snapped.
As for Peng, it was even worse, already broken at the waist, turned ninety degrees, and even the tree heart had cracks.
General Tianji connected all the Giant Elephant Tree People, making the damage shared. Zhao Xing felt the vitality of the tree person passing away rapidly. The advancement that happened due to the reward before was all returned in this one blow, and the realm dropped again.
"Puff!"
In the gorgeous explosion, the barrier and the crown were broken into a hole.
"Boom!"
A black pillar suddenly inserted down, piercing through the platform where Zhao Xing was. More than eight hundred tree people were directly gone by half. The vines wrapped around Zhao Xing's feet were blown away. After breaking free from control, he pulled Peng to retreat for the first time, but in the end, it was still too late, and only a piece of tree branch was pulled out.
Looking again, he found that this cylinder was actually bamboo, only it was black.
"Thump, mouth~"
The big explosion expected did not appear, but a muffled sound appeared, followed by a circle of gas expanding.
Zhao Xing felt that the epidermis of the tree person he seized withered instantly, and all the leaves fell off.
"Poison, it's poison!"
Zhao Xing stayed in the space of the tree person, and soon found that the poison gas surrounded him like clouds.
No way, he could only abandon the tree person's body, and could no longer care about hiding, escaping from this platform.
Escaping the tree person's body, Zhao Xing immediately used the Cangwu World Method to unfold the world projection.
"~" The phantom of the Cangwu Divine Tree appeared, but it could only maintain a range of less than a thousand meters, and it was constantly being squeezed by the black poison gas.
"Collect!"
No way, Zhao Xing could only risk taking these poison gases into his inner world.
However, as soon as these poison gases entered his inner world, they were like some kind of catalyst.
In the area where the poison gas was stored, space-time began to decay, matter shattered, and life was cut off—actually developing towards the period of extinction!
"My god, what kind of monster did God King Yuheng cultivate."
Zhao Xing was half-scared to death and immediately mobilized the Keyang Divine Tree to save the master.
Space-time was immediately suppressed, and the poison gas stopped expanding.
"Yu~" The Keyang Divine Tree erupted with brilliant light, decomposing a part of the poison gas, making it very faint.
Two consciousnesses were transmitted, and Zhao Xing found that the meaning expressed by the Divine Tree was: not delicious, take it away quickly.
Zhao Xing didn't dare to absorb the poison gas anymore, and topped with the Cangwu World Method, quickly escaped from the black bamboo area.
Fortunately, only one black bamboo fell after breaking the barrier. The protection mechanism of the Saoshen Fortress was activated, and the platform where he was rolled up like a leaf, wrapping the black bamboo layer by layer, isolating the expansion of the poison gas.
Zhao Xing landed on the platform of another mother fortress and found that the smooth and flat fortress was already broken, corroded with many large pits, and there were many cracks.
"Boom~"
The field of vision suddenly darkened, and the Saoshen Fortress burrowed into the ground rapidly, abandoning the tree people and some branches and leaves, seemingly stripping away a part of the fused matter, and burrowed into the ground again.
After about ten breaths of time, the chaos began to decrease, and the barrier slowly stabilized.
It was just that compared to before, the divine strangeness of the Saoshen Fortress had decreased a lot, and its vitality was not as good as before.
"I thought the Saoshen Fortress and General Tianji were very awesome, but I didn't expect such an ending."
"Just entered the area of the Overlord Battle and suffered a heavy blow."
Zhao Xing still wanted to use firecrackers to find an opportunity in the melee to blow up other plant troops to obtain the General Order, but he didn't expect to be blown up first without saying a word.
"Hmm? I don't know how badly General Tianji is injured." Zhao Xing suddenly wasn't angry anymore. Now it seems to be an excellent opportunity to grab General Tianji?
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing is now a human, a small one. He flew quickly to a piece of dead wood.
At this time, an injured Giant Elephant Tree Person passed by.
"Thump!"
"Jigu!"
Zhao Xing covered its mouth and dragged it into the dark.
Before long, he walked out quickly again.
"Swish swish swish~"
The broken tree person jumped constantly, rushing towards the top of the Saoshen Fortress.
At this time, the fortress was in chaos, and there were tree people taking root everywhere to heal.
Originally, bottom-level tree people like Zhao Xing couldn't enter the top area, but now they drove straight in without any obstruction.
"General Tianji's true body is a peak divine general Giant Elephant Tree God. I have no chance of winning against it, and I can't even break its defense, but now maybe there is a chance."
General Tianji has fused too many plant troops. It is an autonomous derivative, constantly evolving mutation, and it is not a random change, always maintaining high intelligence.
Facing such an opponent, it is difficult for Zhao Xing to get any benefits, but now it is the best opportunity in more than two hundred years.
Leaving here, other divine general-level troops are equally difficult to deal with!
"Wealth is sought in danger. I am cautious, have firecrackers, and have pill books in hand. If it really doesn't work, it's just losing the qualification to pass the trial, and there shouldn't be any life danger."
The opportunity is in front of him. If he wastes it, he is simply sorry for his own luck.
Running quickly, passing over heavy high platforms, Zhao Xing soon saw General Tianji's true body, a towering tree standing in the center of a silver-white platform.
There was also a shallow layer of water around it, rotating around it. In the Divine Machine City, the Boundless True God frowned and opened his eyes.
He found a half-gold, half-red hair growing on his arm.
"Mixed blessings?"
Since the God King Zhangyue incident, the Boundless True God had expanded the range of his causal divine arts.
He could perceive it when Zhao Xing was experiencing it, rather than making up for it after it happened.
No way, Zhao Xing was too missed by others. He offended God King Xitian, and that red hair was still shrinking in the corner of the hall.
He was afraid that one day Zhao Xing would cause a disaster that even he couldn't handle, or fall into some dangerous place, leading to an inability to rescue, so he strengthened the effect of the causal divine arts.
It was just that this would involve more of his energy, plus refining tools, confronting God King Xitian, etc. Now, the Boundless True God had almost sixty percent of his energy on Zhao Xing.
"A tree?" It's still growing on another tree. Did he enter the place Zhangyue said?" The Boundless True God didn't know the existence of God King Yuheng. This was the reason why he had to strengthen the causal divine arts.
Regarding Zhangyue and Yuheng, he only knew one part, not the whole picture. "Giant Elephant Divine Tree?" The Boundless True God's expression was a bit heavy, "This is a god-level tree that only existed in the Chaos Era. Where did this kid go?"
"!" The hair suddenly burned and curled. The Boundless True God looked carefully, but couldn't see anything.
"Damn Qing Yuzi!!" The Boundless True God's face was extremely ugly. "To complete the closed loop for you, you actually made Zhao Xing fall into an unknown dangerous situation!"
The Boundless True God strengthened the causal divine arts, but after watching, he couldn't detect anything, and even this hair burned away.
It can be seen how high the status of the place Zhao Xing went to was!
The Boundless True God didn't blame Zhao Xing for being loyal, but hated Qing Yuzi even more, believing that it was all Qing Yuzi's fault that caused Zhao Xing to fall into a dangerous situation. "If he returns safely, that's fine. If he has an accident, while you are still alive, this seat will definitely make you live in pain!"
Now the Boundless True God could do nothing, and could only wait for Zhao Xing to contact him actively.
God King Yuheng, Inner World.
Edge of the core area outside the God King Tower.
A piece of soil slowly arched up. As the mud and sand fell, a pair of dark eyes were revealed.
Then the soil slowly returned to flat ground. After a distance, it arched up again. After confirming the direction, it continued to move towards the God King Tower little by little.
"Steady, must be steady." Zhao Xing moved little by little. Even if there were many root systems underground, like a large net composed of tentacles, if he wasn't careful, he would be discovered.
"I seized the opportunity and took the General Order from General Tianji. Now as long as I can cross the battlefield of the Overlord Battle, I will pass the trial."
Zhao Xing recalled the scene of the Saoshen Fortress. His disguise as a Giant Elephant Tree Person to find General Tianji was smooth.
The opponent was actually beaten into serious injury in the Overlord Battle, almost split from the middle, divided into two halves.
And the General Order was thrown aside. Zhao Xing picked it up without much effort.
Instead, crossing the Overlord battlefield was more dangerous. Since breaking away from the Saoshen Fortress to break into the battlefield, he had tried three times, experienced more than three hundred years, and all failed. Now it was the fourth time.
"Move slowly. I am an earthworm now, drilling little by little. Don't be too impatient." Zhao Xing secretly thought. "Only move a little bit a day, shuttling through the root system, so as not to attract attention."
He didn't dare to look at the surroundings at all, because he was already in the root network of a peak divine general plant.
It was just that this plant seemed to be resting and didn't notice this ant.
"Almost there, only less than a hundred miles left. Cross the boundary marker, and they can't chase me."
Zhao Xing really turned into a life like an earthworm. This was the Hou Bian Method he learned from Chuji. He squirmed little by little underground.
Occasionally, fluctuations from the root system would sweep underground, and he would even be cut into two pieces, but after the fluctuations passed, he would stop pretending to be dead and start drilling slowly.
For the remaining hundred miles, Zhao Xing crawled little by little.
At a certain moment, he found that he had broken away from the root network, and the ground vein fluctuations around him were completely different.
!
Zhao Xing broke through the ground, his expression dazed. He actually spent a full one hundred and thirty-four years on the hundred-mile road!
Looking back at the chaotic battlefield behind him, and looking at the quiet and peaceful green grassland in front of him, Zhao Xing felt like a lifetime away.
"Finally passed the trial."
