chapter 6249: burnt tree
the colossal entity was large enough to fill the bottomless abyss. the leaves would be large enough to blot out the sky, if it still had any. the branches were the size of mountain ranges.
unfortunately, it seemed to be alive, scorched from top to bottom. this would be the lone tree survivor in a forest inflicted by fire.
the leaves and twigs were burnt to ashes, and the bark became as black as charcoal. now, it looked like black metal, seemingly unbreakable.
embers still flashed red in certain areas, always ready to ignite again. therefore, standing close to the abyss gave the impression of being near the mouth of a dangerous volcano.
âwhat is this thing?â everyone shared the same question since this was unprecedented to them.
âlook, there is one leaf left!â a sharp-eyed cultivator shouted.
everyone followed his direction and saw a budding leaf brimming with life. once people got closer, they immediately felt refreshing, cool waves - a stark contrast to the heat from the dormant âcharcoalâ.
the cool breezes were filled with majestic life force, no different from a boundless ocean. due to the size of the tree, this blooming leaf was still massive and stretched thousands of miles.
the veins looked like mountain ranges situated in a green ocean. it wouldnât be inconceivable to start sects and kingdoms here.
âi agree, tribulation flames did this.â this became the crowdâs consensus.
âif it has a budding leaf, it might return to life.â a sacred ancestor said.
âyes, seems that way.â many nodded in agreement.
âthis has to be due to the worldly energy. itâs growing on an earth vein, thereâs enough energy to revive it.â someone confidently said.
everyone looked over and saw a tall and muscular old man.
âbronze-blade ancestor.â many bowed to show respect after seeing him.
the pseudo-emperor humbly returned the gesture.
âso in other words, the source of the vein is right below.â a woman added, having one pretty side and one ugly side.
âcoldblade.â others were surprised to see her.
