The Chaos tree was indeed divine. Not only could it absorb weapons, but it could even absorb the
negative powers from the outside.
âNo, the Chaos tree isnât taking the damage for me. Itâs absorbing large amounts of Natureâs power,
taking it as its own.â
A whirlpool formed in front of Alex.
The power formed into an endless whirlpool, flowing right into the Chaos tree. Alex used his inner
vision and noticed that the tree branches were growing rapidly after absorbing the power.
Back then, it was just a small, five-meter tree.
Soon, it grew to six, seven⦠Then to ten meters⦠And then fifteen meters. It continued sprouting at a
rapid pace with the extra power it had.
Alex was shocked to see this. âNatureâs power is way too intense! This tree has been in my palace for
ages, and it hasnât grown much. Yet, by absorbing this power, itâs inflating like a darn balloon!â
The Chaos bead hanging on the tree was slowly glistening as well, as though absorbing the energy
within the tree.
Pshhhh!
Maiko didnât have a physical body, and as a ghost king, she was able to out-endure the others.
However, since this went on, she couldnât handle it as well, returning into Alexâs Stake of Exorcism to
hide.
Daya, on the other hand, seemed to be unfazed by all this. She stood at the side, staring at Alex with
loving eyes. She even seemed slightly more affectionate than usual.
Yuno, who had flown out of the door, didnât want to admit defeat.
âThis is the Natureâs Palace from ten thousand years ago. I want to find my destiny there too! How am I
not even allowed inside? I know Iâm strong, so how can I be weaker than this Daya girl?â
She clenched her teeth and rushed back in again. Within a second, however, she was blown out of the
palace by a powerful flow of Natureâs power. She even vomited a mouthful of blood before landing,
indicating that she had injured herself.
âHow is this possible?!â
Yuno was appalled. The power was even stronger than before.
She knew that Alex could handle such power because he had rare treasure, hence she believed that
his durability had to be related to that treasure.
However, she didnât understand what Daya relied on.
âIs it because of that ape?â
This was among the things she couldnât understand.
Vajra Demonic Apes were known to be vicious and difficult to handle. Even if it couldnât speak or
communicate, it had extremely high spirituality and intelligence. Considered one of the highest-ranked
demons within this realm, it was impossible to tame.
âHow did Daya make it obey her every command?â
Jade didnât want to give up on this opportunity as well. She thought, âIf my disciple could get in, itâll be
just embarrassing if I get blown out.â
Hence she decided to try again, lunging herself toward the entrance as she forced her way through
using her physical body.
Upon entering, she managed to take it for⦠Ten seconds. Ten seconds was her absolute limit, so she
couldnât do anything else but back out.
Suddenly, the bronze door of the palace clunked loudly, closing up slowly.
Just as Yuno and Jade tried to get in again, an unknown force blocked their path. It wasnât even
possible to take a step into the door anymore.
Yuno seemed frustrated. âWhy did I have to face Natureâs Palace now? If I had one more year, Iâd
definitely endure it. Ugh! This is just sad. Itâs Natureâs Palace! Itâs right in front of me. But I canât even
get in.â
Jade comforted her. âAll of this is destined. Itâs fate if you get in, but if you canât, thatâs just life.â
âScrew life! I, Yuno, have never bowed down to fate! I simply refuse to believe this!â
Yuno concentrated her energy aggressively, surrounding herself with a red aura filled with demonic Chi.
Jade froze. âDemonic Chi? You⦠Youâre a demon?â
Yuno ignored Jade and formed a black shadow behind her. It was unidentifiable, appearing as a mere
blurry blob. It then turned into a ray of light, shooting toward the palace door that was still ajar.
Boom!
The wall in front of the bronze entrance quaked, but it didnât break open one bit. Instead, a strong force
bounced back on Yuno.
