Chapter 287: Chapter 97: Demigod: Tree Granny! Xu Ran: You Say You’re Invincible, Huh? (Part 2)

”The next step is to become a pinnacle of the Yue Realm with ten million Qi Blood Value, and then search for a method to achieve godhood.”

Xu Ran took a deep breath of turbid air.

”Indeed, venturing into the Contaminated Area is the fastest way to improve.”

”In two months, rising from 460,000 Qi Blood Value to a million, exhilarating!”

However...

To become a super powerhouse with ten million Qi Blood Value, it requires 900 drops of Venerable Golden Blood, and the felling of twenty thousand giant trees! At least 900 days of relentless chopping! That’s three years.

Xu ’Forest Destroyer’ Ran felt it was intense!!!

”With my current cultivation, entering the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, it should be much safer. In a Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, there should be better giant wood, and with my current strength, I can fully covet better exotic giant wood.”

His plan was very tight.

Initially, only making gains in a Level 2 Contaminated Area.

Later on, chopping trees in a Level 1 Contaminated Area.

Only considering the Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone after his strength had risen to the Yue Realm.

He was never a reckless person!

In a Catastrophe-level Contamination Zone, even the Godslaying Squad occasionally perished within, how could one dare to rush in without sufficient strength?

A foolproof strategy was essential.

”Of course, before entering, I must upgrade myself once more.”

Muttering to himself.

Xu Ran, in a dark chamber, took out the pitch-black, shiny Ten Thousand Tribulations Flames, petals of lotus fused into his body, his physical strength skyrocketed, quickly reaching the million level.

At this moment.

He could catch an attack with a million Qi Blood Value barehanded, plus two Little Vajra Treasure Talismans... easily withstanding 2.25 million.

Clenching his fist.

Xu Ran laughed heartily.

Suddenly.

He was instantly alert.

Amidst an eerie howling sound.

The mountain beneath him trembled, the stone chamber cracked, stones fell, as if a giant dragon was turning over.

Xu Ran stood up, put away the talismans and paperman, and dashed forward with his body and momentum, directly breaking through the mountain and leaping to the clouds.

Standing on the cloud.

Xu Ran looked down below.

Several mountains collapsed, revealing a gigantic natural mine pit, from which a peculiar giant wood rapidly emerged, countless roots transformed into extremely long scarlet tongues, dancing in mid-air.

Through the millions of tongues, hundreds of meters long, the core position could be seen, and it was a gigantic tree man, neither male nor female, over ten meters tall, with limbs, head, and all the facial features, just that there were too many tongues transformed from roots.

Moreover, its face was vastly different from a human’s, more like a grinning hyena flaunting its ferocity.

Additionally.

It was currently extremely irritable, as the root tongues launched a wild licking on the ground, shattering the stones to pieces.

Don’t be deceived by its chaotic attacks, the damage was extremely terrifying, any touch by the tongue, the flesh was gone, and the pollution would spread in the wound.

Fortunately, Xu Ran was fast.

Being able to kite, he directly dashed to the clouds, and with perfect invisibility, the tree old granny couldn’t find Xu Ran, only able to rage impotently.

”Who chopped all my trees?!!!”

”Scoundrel! Come out! I will kill you, you beast! My two-thousand-year Six Mysterious Wood, treated as my Godhood Ceremony, has been half destroyed!”

The voice of the tree old granny, sometimes male, sometimes female.

It was very angry.

After sleeping for only a few months, it suffered such terrible losses!

Those guardian Crystal Beasts were all silently killed, without a bit of combat, not even waking me up.

This was such an infuriating act!!!!

It had been preparing for a thousand years!!!

Cutting down one tree, two trees, even a hundred trees, it had backup plans, cutting down nearly a thousand, it had to keep busy for another two thousand years!

So, it was mad and roaring.

Xu Ran, however, stared from the sky above.

”I see, no wonder it can be devoured to become Venerable Golden Blood, it indeed has something to do with a Divine-level creature.”

However, the Divine-level creature raging below hadn’t completed its Godhood Ceremony, only counting as a demigod.

Tens of millions of Qi Blood Value, heavy as a mountain peak.

Even if Xu Ran was hanging in the sky, five hundred meters high in the air, he could feel the overwhelming aura.

”I wonder if killing this weird tree can make a fortune?”

Xu Ran was eager to try.

He just became a Yue Realm powerhouse, shouldn’t he take down a demigod, for a good omen?

”It’s you, the unlucky one.”

Today, no matter what, he must kill it.

Xu Ran drew out the long blade.

With a clang.

The tree old granny immediately sensed the movement, suddenly rushing up to the sky, tongues of red shooting toward where the sound had erupted.

A series of red tongues, each comparable to a spear, defied gravity and stabbed upward towards the sky, like a rain of arrows.

Xu Ran flickered and dodged away.

He was incredibly fast.

Even though his Qi Blood Value was only in the millions, ten times less than his opponent’s, when he executed the Three Thousand Thunder Moves, it was as swift as lightning.

In mid-air.

A transparent, invisible figure wove through the tongues.

Every so often, he would swing his knife to slice at the tongues, as leisurely as an eagle soaring through the sky after a meal. Every tongue that was struck would retract sharply, like a mimosa’s leaves, and attack Xu Ran’s former position.

But Xu Ran had already drifted away.

The Seed of Faith pierced through the air at high speed, embedding itself in the Tree Spirit’s forehead.

The next moment.

Xu Ran conjured an air wall parallel to the ground beneath his feet, then stomped hard on it, spreading his arms like an eagle soaring into the clouds.

He ascended.

Ascended to the peak.

Beneath him, the Tree Spirit raged like a mountain in motion.

He swung his blade downward.

The Super Explosion Slash activated, the Tree Spirit was horrified and quickly retreated into the distance.

But the Super Explosion Slash was too fast.

It burst within its body in an instant, causing it to scream in agony with a voice neither male nor female, as several wounds erupted on its body, though it did not shatter completely.

Only a few tongues were severed at their base, writhing on the ground like venomous snakes.

”It’s quite tough. Seems like a monster with nearly ten million Qi Blood Value can’t be killed with just one strike.”

”But if one strike isn’t enough, I still have a second.” Xu Ran smiled faintly.

He swung his blade again.

This time, the Tree Spirit let out an even more terrified scream, but still did not perish, though its body was riddled with holes, spraying blood like a sieve.

It crawled swiftly on the ground, its tongues pummeling the earth like thousands of feet, scurrying rapidly.

From its wounds, blood arrows spurted, enveloping it in a blood cloud, which strangely started healing its horrific injuries.

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

”Quite tenacious, isn’t it? Still not dead?”

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes.

Annihilation Tribulation Light unleashed.

In an instant.

The tree-being among the tongues was struck, and the colossal mountain-like creature had a massive gap pierced through it, like a tunnel drilled through a mountain.

Through the tunnel.

The scenery on the other side was visible.

Xu Ran’s eyes flickered.

”So the ten-meter wooden figure was just a decoy, and the real body is the smaller wooden figure hidden below. As long as the real body is unharmed, it can continue to live.”

Xu Ran had discovered the ruse.

He had to admit, it was insidious enough.

If its enemies fought it to the death, targeting only the visible wooden figure, they would be battling for a long time, consuming their Qi Blood Value, and possibly getting injured.

No matter how much it was attacked, as long as its real body, the small wooden figure, remained intact, it retained formidable combat power.

”Ahhhh!!!”

The Tree Spirit howled in pain.

It crashed to the ground. Thousands of roots burrowed into the earth.

The next second.

Beneath the ground, a peculiar force surged into its body, like giant pythons, toppling underground stones and rushing into it.

Its wounded flesh was sliced off by the tongues, cast aside in a resolute sacrifice, making Xu Ran cluck in wonder.

In that instant.

The whole mountain range was filled with bizarre forces, with as many as five to six thousand giant pythons entering the Tree Spirit.

The Tree Spirit laughed madly, regrowing its fleshly shell.

However.

Its originally mountainous size had halved, its tongues reduced to a hundred.

Yet the decrease in size and tongue count did not imply weakness.

Because its tongues were now armed with hard scales in black with gold spots! The tips had sprouted spikes, lethal enough to split a strong one with millions of Qi Blood Value in half with a single whip or hook.

”Insect! I am invincible now! I will kill you and use you as a seed to cultivate my Holy Tree!”

The Tree Spirit’s voice shifted between male and female tones.

Xu Ran’s scalp tingled.

But in the next second.

Xu Ran narrowed his eyes, a fleeting murderous glint appearing at the depths of his gaze: ”Did you just say you are invincible now?”

”Yes, I am already invincible! Immortal! Unless a god descends!”
