âSave me! I canât break loose!â
âThis tree root is too powerful! It⦠Itâs going to get into my body!â
Shado yelled with a voice full of panic. Although she said she wasnât afraid of death, she would
inevitably be fearful and call for help normally when encountering such a bizarre incident.
Alex dared not delay, so he immediately took out the Seven Blades of Death and severed the tree root
with a slash.
Poof!
A gush of blood spurted out of the broken end, splashing all over Shadoâs head and face. There was a
very pungent and putrid odor, a stench so foul that Shado barfed on the spot.
Not only did the roots wrapping around her body not loosen, but they entangled her even tighter as if
trying to strangle her to death. Shado couldnât even breathe.
âAlexâ¦â
âDonât panic, there are roots down there!â Alex yelled.
Then, he took out another three swords and slashed at Shadoâs body randomly with all the swords.
Poof! Poof!
Countless roots had been severed.
Streams of blood came out of the ground. It was a sight that would instantly creep anyone out. There
was even the sound of a baby crying⦠Hence, the family rumor that Lena had mentioned was real.
This was not a tree, but a demonic creature that looked like a tree, a species of the Undying Clan.
âThere are so many! There are so many!â
âThen Iâll sever all of you and burn you to death with fire!â
Alex used the Thousand Sword Tactics. Then, thundering flames continuously rained down from the
sky, burning the countless Undying Clan members that had transformed into the demon trees till they
started screaming horribly over and over.
The sound had forcibly turned into a babyâs cry. What was it like to hear thousands of babies bawling
and screaming horribly together?
It would make oneâs blood run cold.
Boom!
The thundering flames, together with the thunderous might, descended from the sky. This was followed
closely by ghastly cries.
The parent body of the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld probably felt the pain from afar, thus
letting out an earth- shattering roar. After all, a chopped finger would be so painful that one would pass
out. Since this parent body of the Earth- devouring Tree of Netherworld had connected to so many
Undying Clan members, it was equivalent to having them turned into its own. Then, by relying on these
external forces, it would devour the land and change the environment of this place.
Roar!
Following a furious roar, a thick tree root emerged from the ground and soared into the sky. Then, it
slammed down onto Alex ferociously.
âD*mn, itâs really huge!â
Standing, Alex looked up to take a look. The next second, he abruptly picked up Shado and teleported
to the side instantaneously before the tree root as huge as a house hit him.
Boom!
As the tree root fell, the ground shook tremendously.
The overbearing root ruthlessly apart tore the vast land of Nine Heavens Tribe apart as though a whip
had struck from Heaven. Since the whip missed him, the tree roots emerged continuously.
âAlex, be careful! There are roots on the left! There are roots on the right too⦠So many! So many
roots have appeared! Ah! There⦠There are nine of them!â
Shado, who was in Alexâs arms, was facing the sky and just happened to see the nine enormous tree
roots above her. The entwined roots had countless tinier roots that intertwined with each other, forming
an inescapable net so that there was nowhere to escape.
Her face turned pale in utter horror.
