Death… And Me

Chapter 1384: Celisʼs Strength

Fortunately, Tutilin didnʼt attack and sat down instead. ”Hmph! Even if I want to capture this Demon Tree for myself, I also donʼt want to follow the rule of having ten survivors remain. Besides, the second guy just asked us to continue cultivating to rob the power his opponent was using. In the worst-case scenario, weʼll at least be somewhat stronger if things go south.”

A moment later, more people joined Tutilin. In the end, not only could they cultivate, but they had been given passage to stay close to the center of Celisʼs roots. Of course, there were still those who found it difficult to come to a decision.

Braga and Wekil noticed what was happening before Wekil began to laugh out loud soon after. ”Hahaha! In the end, cultivators donʼt want to let the opportunity of getting stronger move past them.” 

Braga didnʼt seem to care much, though. ”Hmph! Only a few of them joined the group who are cultivating. The rest might not be attacking anyone, but they arenʼt cultivating either. With just that amount, youʼll still run out of energy before me.”

Wekil wasnʼt worried, though. He immediately contacted the cultivators in the Divine Plane once again after hearing that with a smile on his face. ”Everyone, would you like to receive some pointers from an immortal cultivator? If youʼre able to absorb all of the Divine Origin Energy in this place, Iʼll personally pass some of my teachings to each one of you.”

Sure enough, those words shocked the cultivators. Everyone knew the rumors about the Lost Star Realm being a dimensional realm created by immortal cultivators. Itʼs just that no one had ever found proof. But then again, the voice who talked to them might be just lying to force everyone to follow his orders.

Nevertheless, whether it was a lie or not, many of the remaining neutral cultivators decided to gamble. Teachings of an immortal cultivator, maybe even their cultivation techniques. As low as the chances might be, they thought it was worth a try... or so Wekil thought it would happen.

However, one of the top ten powersʼ cultivators immediately attacked Celisʼs roots out of nowhere. He wasnʼt the only one, though. More cultivators did the same thing one after another. Not only did they attack Celis, but they also attacked anyone who seemed weak enough for them to get rid of. 

”What?!” Wekil was alarmed to see that.

This time, it was Braga who laughed out loud. ”Hahaha! Youʼre not the only immortal here, idiot. All I had to do was transmit a small part of a few of our cultivation techniques, and they already understood how much better they are than their current ones. The rule I gave them was very simple. For each cultivator they killed in that plane, they would receive one-third of the complete cultivation technique. As for that Divine Demon Tree, I offered a complete version of the cultivation technique to the one who removed it first.”

Wekil was taken aback after hearing that. Indeed, Divine Sense was more than enough to transmit a cultivation technique over. Besides, although the techniques Braga was sending to the cultivators were indeed at the immortal level, they were trash in Braga and Wekilʼs eyes. Itʼs just that they were much better than the techniques the disciples of the ten powers could ever dream of having in their hands.

Celis, of course, didnʼt stay still while those guys chopped off his roots. He was a Divine Demon Tree, one at the Peak of Stage Eight on top of that. He could totally fight cultivators at the Transition Realm with his experience and strength.

With that, Celisʼs roots burst with Wood and Water Elements. Then, the roots that were chopped off were regrown a few seconds later as if they had never been cut at all. At the same time, other roots darted towards the Transition and Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators who attacked him.

”A bunch of brats! Do you think you can overwhelm me that easily?! Die for your senior!” Celisʼs trunk then trembled before tens of thousands of leaves were shot from his branches. After that, the leaves formed a storm of leaves that spread several kilometers around him.

ʼLeaf Slaughter!ʼ

ʼVine Assault!ʼ

Each leaf wasnʼt that powerful on its own, having the power of an Initial or at most a Middle Stage Eight Demon Beastʼs attack. However, when thousands of them attacked one person from all sides, then things became a lot more complicated. The problem was that while the cultivators tried to defend against the leaves, they were impaled by the vines, who were definitely at the Transition Realm level of power. Celis hadnʼt reached the Transition Realm yet, but he had done so in the past. He was very good at predicting the enemiesʼ actions.

*Arrrrgghhhh!*

*Nooooo!*

*Get away! Get away from me!*

Of course, there were also those who could defend against Celisʼ attacks and were able to retreat far away from him. Nevertheless, Celis had already killed eight cultivators in this small exchange, with most of them at the Elemental Transformation Realm or at the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm.

Wekil could only watch it unfold with a dark expression. 

As for Braga, his confidence increased even more as he laughed yet again. ”Hehe! It turns out that the Divine Demon Tree is quite strong. He did a great service to me. Now Iʼm even more confident that youʼll run out of energy before me.”

Back in the Divine Plane, the attacks against Celis had finally stopped. Those who were still alive were too far for Celis to kill, with movement speed obviously far from being Celisʼs strength.

Celis then looked at the cultivators who didnʼt attack him, especially the ones who were in the middle of his roots and vines to cultivate. ”What about you guys? Wanna try your luck as well?”

Hearing that, the remaining cultivators immediately shook their heads. Like hell would they do such a thing. That wasnʼt a tree. That was a devil! He even sucked the corpses of the cultivators he impaled dry.

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Hurio were surprised by Celisʼs display. Of course, they knew he was strong, but not to this extent.

Rean then patted Celisʼs trunk before telling him, ”Remind me to not anger you in the future.”
