Chapter 1368
Ang became vigilant instantly. He did not rush forward to attack those tumors rashly, but tapped the small sapling and then raised that hand of Kela Mu.
The small sapling immediately began to stretch, following Ang's shoulder, arm, and wrist, covering all the way to his hand, forming a layer of wooden arm armor that wrapped around Ang's arm and the back of his head.
Kela Mu ignited with a "whoosh," extending upward along the arm armor, then along the small sapling, continuing to extend toward the Heavenly Kingdom Fortress.
Deep within the Heavenly Kingdom Fortress, there was not only the main body of the Little Ghost but also a branch of the small sapling. This branch had followed the Heavenly Kingdom Fortress and the Little Ghost to this world, and it could be considered the small sapling's main body in this world.
All the other World Trees were grown from its seeds; they were merely its sub-plants.
Kela Mu's power extended to the small sapling's branch, instantly establishing a stable connection across space. Who else could cut off the spatial connection of the Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree?
After doing all this, Ang finally shifted his attention to those tumors.
If one were to ask whose combat experience was richer than Ang's? That would likely be no one. Ang's combat experience originated from the Time-Space Ancient Dragon.
As the God of Time and Space, he would forget every battle after winning, but if he lost, he would constantly review it. Through the Time-Space Domain, he would review every change in the battle and find a way to defeat the enemy, which also allowed him to accumulate rich combat experience.
The richness of this experience required the Time-Space Ancient Dragon to use phased transformations to temporarily seal a portion of it, to prevent high-level experience from causing interference to low-rank descendants.
For example, for a Brass Dragon, it only knows how to puff out dragon breath and then use its claws and teeth to tear at others; that experience of reversing time and space would be meaningless to it and would instead cause it interference.
The Dragon God's phased transformations allowed Ang to awaken this part of his memory only when his strength reached that level, never exceeding the experience of his capabilities.
Now that he had already obtained the Time-Space Domain, Ang felt there were still some experiences that hadn't awakened, and he didn't understand where his strength was still lacking.
But regardless, the Time-Space Ancient Dragon's rich combat experience was already enough for him to deal with any sudden situation. The most important thing in a battle is to find a retreat path first.
If it were any other enemy, Ang wouldn't be this cautious, but the opponent was the Tricky Tree. The Tricky Tree possessed an ability that Ang was very wary of—the Consciousness Cage.
This ability, which like Kela Mu could imprison consciousness in a closed space, was what Ang was most wary of right now, because he was still in a clone state.
On the contrary, the Monarch didn't need to be wary; the Monarch was currently in his main body's Starry Form.
He couldn't figure out what these tumors were for the moment, but he had to prepare his retreat path first. As for the path forward...
Stars flickered on his body, becoming denser and denser, while the non-flickering parts disappeared. By the time the non-flickering parts had all vanished, Ang had transformed into a Starry Skeleton.
Compared to his first transformation, the stars on Ang's body had already taken shape. Perhaps it was because of this that the entire transformation process was different.
"Starry Skeleton!" the Tricky Tree in the shadows exclaimed: "How could he turn into a Starry Skeleton?!"
"Starry Skeleton? You call this kind of Incremental Body a Starry Skeleton? Don't you know he is an Incremental Body?" the Mist Whale asked in confusion.
"No, I don't know. I don't know he is also a Starry Skeleton, I... I..." the Tricky Tree was so panicked it couldn't even speak clearly.
Damn it, are Starry Skeletons Chinese cabbage? One King Feilie was enough to give it a headache. Adding an Undead Monarch, it could still say they could keep each other in check, but now another one had popped out.
"Don't say so much, hurry up and control him," the Mist Whale said.
The Tricky Tree didn't say anything more and could only harden its bark and go for it. All the tumors exploded simultaneously, and a large amount of gelatinous liquid sprayed out.
The gelatinous liquid spread rapidly in the void. The Star Flame mass collided with it, was actually wrapped up, and then extinguished?
Ang couldn't help but be a little surprised. That was Star Flame, nearly one equivalent of Star Flame, and it was extinguished just by being wrapped by this gelatinous liquid?
Fortunately, Ang didn't rush up, otherwise he would have been wrapped tightly by this gelatinous liquid. Not only could he not rush, but he also hurriedly withdrew his Star Flame clone.
Although he didn't know what was going on, these gelatinous liquids seemed to be able to counter Star Flame.
Ang pulled out a Swallowing Abyss and ejected it.
The Swallowing Abyss shot onto the gelatinous liquid and actually sank into it. The gelatinous liquid then took the opportunity to wrap around it, and the Swallowing Abyss disappeared without a trace.
Ang tilted his head and pulled out more than a dozen compressed spatial spheres and Swallowing Abysses in succession, all of which disappeared into the gelatinous liquid without exception, failing to cause much damage to these gelatinous liquids.
However, Ang also saw the mechanism of action of these gelatinous liquids. They were like a thick layer of rubber cloth; any attack that landed on them would stretch them, just like a needle pricking them, first pushing them out into a shape, and only then piercing through.
After piercing through, it flew far away, looking as if it had been swallowed by it, but in reality, it had passed through it.
The previous Star Flame mass was the same, but the Star Flame mass didn't pierce through it; instead, it was wrapped by it, forming a Consciousness Cage, cutting off the connection with Ang. So that mass of Star Flame wasn't extinguished, but imprisoned.
This also meant that these gelatinous liquids possessed the ability to imprison consciousness, and at the same time, they had strong ductility and elasticity, which reminded Ang of those small insects that fell into resin.
Thinking of small insects, Ang immediately thought of the Monarch. Before he could issue a warning, the gelatinous liquid suddenly bulged into a long, sharp spike toward the Monarch's direction, with a human figure at the tip.
This human figure forcefully pushed the gelatinous liquid into a sharp spike but failed to pierce through the gelatinous liquid. The Tricky Tree was still controlling these liquid gels; Ang could see the surrounding gelatinous liquid converging toward the spike, thickening rapidly.
The human figure at the tip of the spike struggled constantly, darting left and right, but because of the ductility and elasticity of the gel, no matter which direction he broke toward, he couldn't pierce through the gelatinous liquid. As the gelatinous liquid converged, it became even harder to pierce through.
Ang hurriedly manifested a mass of Star Flame and shot it toward the tip of the spike, hitting the human figure at the tip solidly.
The gelatinous liquid could stretch, but the human figure at the tip was pushing there, and the gelatinous liquid had no room to stretch. It was directly blown open by the Star Flame, creating a large hole and revealing the human figure inside, who was none other than the Monarch.
The Monarch managed to escape and hurriedly flashed to Ang's side, frowning and saying: "What the hell is this thing? Why is it so sticky? Fortunately, you acted fast, otherwise I was prepared to use my ultimate move. Eh, you transformed?"
The so-called "ultimate move" was Lu Se's nickname for his Dragon-Patterned Steel Core Mithril Filigree Magic-Patterned Earth-Covered Gem-Enhanced Piercing Enchanted Two-Handed Sword when hacking people. However, because it was easy to understand, even the Monarch called his strongest skill his ultimate move.
What was the Monarch's ultimate move? What was the Starry Skeleton's ultimate move?
Although Ang could transform into a Starry Skeleton, he hadn't awakened any new skills.
Golden Skeletons had King's Arrival and Death Scythe; Mourning Skeletons each had their own special skills, such as Feiti's Flash, Luoke's Silence Barrier, and Hawei's Intervertebral Disc. Then, the Starry Skeleton should also have brand-new skills, right?
