Chapter 232: Heartless Bastard

'As long as... as long as it crosses the world to arrive, as long as... as long as I kill it, these golden entries, the original bloodline, will all be mine!'

"Boom!"

Xie Yaoyao's left half of his body exploded violently, flesh and blood scattering like a rainstorm.

Strands of dark red tentacles grew crazily from the broken torso, rooting into the ruins beside him like plant roots. The surface of the tentacles was covered in dense suckers, each with a turbid eyeball in the center, pupils flashing with ghostly green light.

The tentacles spread rapidly toward the underground, and wherever they passed, bricks and stones shattered, and the soil was dyed ink-black. The ground began to shake violently, as if some behemoth was waking up from the underground.

Suddenly, a thick tree trunk broke through the ground, the bark covered in distorted human faces, each face screaming silently.

The trunk grew rapidly, branches stretching out like tentacles in all directions, with translucent vesicles hanging between the branches, inside which curled unformed embryos.

A huge man-eating flower bloomed at the top of the canopy, the inside of the petals covered in sharp thorns, and at the stamen was a face extremely similar to Xie Yaoyao's, grinning to reveal shark-like sharp teeth and emitting a harsh, shrill laugh.

The root system of the Corrupted Tree expanded crazily underground, grinding the surrounding building ruins into powder. Thick black liquid seeped from the surface of the tree roots, and wherever it passed, the ground corrupted rapidly, growing dense mushrooms and moss.

A strange fragrance permeated the air, as if the entire area had been dragged into a corrupted flesh-and-blood hell.

The suddenly appearing strange giant tree immediately attracted the attention of Selimu in the air. Seeing Xie Yaoyao embedded in the heart of the tree, Selimu's originally worried expression relaxed quite a bit.

'Although this arrogant guy is hateful, his power is beyond doubt! With his cooperation, he will definitely be able to block the Devil King outside the world!'

It was just that what Xie Yaoyao did next made Selimu's eyeballs almost pop out, and even Nie Yingying and Aoruilian, who were constantly running and flying to hunt devils on the battlefield, were stunned by the scene before them.

Only to see countless tentacle-like vines suddenly shoot out from the strange giant tree, these vines covered in dense sharp teeth. These vines all firmly bound the huge arm that had already forcibly squeezed into this world from the portal, and those sharp teeth all bit into the Devil King's arm without any politeness.

And then they began to pull back with all their might!

The Hell Demon King's giant arm trembled violently, sensing countless sharp-toothed thorns drilling into the wounds and greedily sucking its flesh and blood.

At first, it instinctively wanted to break these vines, but soon it realized that these vines were actually helping it tear through the barrier of the world, opening a passage for its invasion of the material world. The giant arm's movement suddenly stalled, and then it actually cooperated actively, letting the vines take root and spread in its flesh and blood, and even injecting magic power into them, accelerating the collapse of the world barrier.

What Xie Yaoyao didn't know was that his action of using vines to pull the giant arm had no use at all. The Hell Demon King's invasion of the material world couldn't be achieved by simple physical pulling.

But his strong will to have the other party enter this world, through the connection of the sharp-toothed vines, could help Belial melt the obstacles of the world barrier faster.

Sure enough, that giant arm accelerated its progress at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at Xie Yaoyao embedded in the tree heart with a ferocious face and blood-red eyes, Nie Yingying and Aoruilian exchanged glances, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes—that guy is crazy!

The only difference was that Nie Yingying's eyes were full of worry, while Aoruilian's eyes were full of fear.

Sure enough, a plot world derived from a world-famous fairy tale like Snow White wasn't that simple. Not only was the plot development bizarre, strange, and irregular, but the final BOSS was despairingly powerful, and even the teammates were crazy-level powerhouses.

Aoruilian was already prepared to lose a life, but before that... Aoruilian turned his gaze to the walking entries all over the ground again.

This wave is a huge profit; it's so worth it to trade a life for it!

At this moment, Selimu didn't have the Travelers who were hunting devils to obtain entries in her eyes. She was also shocked by Xie Yaoyao's crazy behavior. As the only Sixth-tier powerhouse on the field, Selimu didn't hesitate to cast a "Soul Scream" into Xie Yaoyao's direction.

The giant tree trembled, those strange eyes burst one by one, and even the man-faced flower at the top of the giant tree showed a painful expression, and Xie Yaoyao's blood-red eyes embedded in the heart of the tree finally regained a bit of sanity.

"Are you crazy, you bastard? Do you want to destroy this world? Do you want everyone to die here?"

'The world... and me... what does it have to do with anything?'

The beautiful woman with huge bat wings unfolding before him was roaring angrily at him, which made the anger in Xie Yaoyao's heart gradually rise.

'She... how dare she... defy the will of God...'

The entire giant tree let out an invisible roar, and the bursting eyes grew back one by one, becoming increasingly strange and terrifying. The face of the man-faced flower at the top also gradually became vicious, and countless vines began to spread out, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

An incomparable pressure pressed toward Selimu in mid-air like a mountain.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Selimu's bloodline was obtained through Xie Yaoyao's second First Embrace, and she couldn't withstand the suppression from the higher-level bloodline at all.

'It's over, this man is completely crazy!'

Just as Selimu fell into despair, the Little Red Umbrella that had been hanging on Xie Yaoyao's arm and embedded in the giant tree heart along with him shook slightly, immediately attracting all of Xie Yaoyao's attention.

"Snap!"

The trees around the Little Red Umbrella exploded, but not a single wood thorn hurt the Little Red Umbrella.

Xie Yaoyao picked up the Little Red Umbrella tenderly, his face full of guilt. Everyone could see he was blaming himself for the act of embedding himself in the tree heart, which had restricted the Little Red Umbrella's freedom.

And at the same time, the changes on the giant tree disappeared one after another. The strange eyes closed, the man-faced flower at the top softened its expression, and those vines that were baring fangs and brandishing claws hung down one after another.

Selimu's expression was dazed at first, and then a huge sense of shame and anger instantly filled her chest.

'This bastard, in his heart, I'm actually not as good as a broken umbrella!'

'His crazy behavior just now was clearly to kill me, and that little broken umbrella, that little broken umbrella only had its freedom slightly restricted along with him; it didn't even count as restricting freedom, it's just an umbrella, how could it have any freedom to speak of!'

Her nose felt sore, and tears of grievance couldn't stop flowing.

"You heartless bastard, I hate you to death!" ===== CHAPTER 233 =====
