chapter 6257: can it be taken away?
li qiye waved and the leaf took them to the hollow part of the tree.
a terrible heat greeted them but temperature aside, their dao, laws, and vitality started burning as well. they became subjected to the might of the high heaven. just a simple push would cause them to enter a stage of ignition.
anyone would lose control regardless of their cultivation or mystical merit laws. fortunately, li qiyeâs primordial rays wrapped around them, preventing the ignition process.
the youths heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged glances. this was just another proof of li qiyeâs frightening power despite looking like a mortal.
as they delved deeper, they found the walls to be extremely tough. flames still flowed and seemed to be alive, never separating from their targets and still growing. was this the reason why the tree wasnât reduced to ashes?
âso tough.â princess chen curiously threw something at the tree wall. the sound indicated toughness and the thing was burned to ashes instantly.
âof course. bodhi was only one step away from being an immortal. his body is certainly one of the toughest things in this world.â the monarch said.
âif refined, wouldnât it be the strongest defensive treasure?â orchidcore remarked.
âyou need to be able to transport it first and have a weapon sharp enough to cut it down, not to mention extinguish the tribulation flames. how many can do all of this?â the monarch said.
âbodhi ancestor couldnât extinguish them, let alone anyone else.â monk zhu answered.
âyes, heâs far stronger than those who seek his body as materials.â the monarch laughed.
âthatâs terrifying.â li xian shuddered.
âhaha, child, itâs because this is a tribulation during an immortal ascension. the tiniest spark could burn primal ancestors to ashes.â the monarch laughed and successfully scared the youths.
âitâs a good thing itâs not refinable.â orchidcore murmured.
the hollow area was enormous, looking like a courtyard stretching down endlessly. the vantage point allowed them to see the structure of the tree, still ravaged by the flames. this was a testament to the treeâs tenacity, still maintaining shape across the years.
when they looked up, they saw a dreadful fiery maelstrom. the youths lost their courage and their knees buckled. they would have fallen to the ground, paralyzed, without li qiyeâs primordial protection.
the enigmatic and hidden master, black witch monarch, also shuddered once upon seeing it.
âgoddamn, and here i thought i had a good assessment of how frightening a tribulation of this level is.â the monarchâs expression changed: âthe tribulation itself is no longer around but the remnant flames are still so strong. the strongest geezers currently might not be able to handle them.â
this fiery maelstrom, when out of control and roaming freely, could put an end to a world.
âi donât think much will be left of old world after a hit, ninety percent of lineages will disappear.â mu hu couldnât maintain his composure.
âlook over there.â after the initial shock, they noticed a green strand at the center of the hollowed area.
it was as thin as a linen thread with a verdant glow, giving the impression it could push up the whole sky. its target was none other than the eye of the maelstrom.
