Chapter 162 The Final Assault!
The entire Tree Crown Royal City Secret Realm is in a state of unprecedented collapse.
The dark sky of the secret realm seemed to be being wantonly kneaded by an invisible giant hand. The originally inky sky was now covered with cracks, like a torn scroll.
The crack shimmered with eerie starlight, strange yet utterly devoid of life.
The trees in the forest were no longer upright and serene; their branches were twisted and deformed, forcibly pulled by a powerful force, and huge trunks crashed down, raising a cloud of dust.
The vines twisted and turned wildly, intertwining and colliding with each other, making a chilling "crackling" sound.
Deep cracks appeared on the ground, from which black mist continuously poured out, emitting a pungent, putrid odor.
The boundaries of the secret realm crumbled amidst the chaos.
The distant mountains, which were originally continuous, now seemed to have been cut into countless pieces. Some peaks suddenly disappeared, while others seemed to have been forcibly lifted from the ground and suspended in mid-air.
The river was no longer calm; it was as if stirred by a force, forming huge whirlpools that kept churning and boiling.
Some unknown, strange creatures were swept up from the bottom of the lake, struggling in terror and letting out pitiful cries.
A suffocating and terrifying atmosphere permeated the air.
A fierce wind howled past, carrying with it all sorts of strange noises, like the roars of countless wronged souls.
At this moment, the entire secret realm was like a cursed world, with every corner filled with an aura of destruction. Tang Zijun grabbed the three girls beside her and shielded them behind her like a mother protecting her children, while she casually made a move.
The next moment, a golden statue of a strange beast not far away seemed to be summoned. Under the influence of an invisible force, it quickly floated up and flew towards Tang Zijun, transforming into a pure gold shield in mid-air.
But in an instant, the golden shield suddenly stopped as if it had hit an "air wall." Before Tang Zijun could react, the golden shield suddenly began to collapse from the inside.
The shattered space tore open a tiny crack in the void, but this small opening swallowed the enormous golden shield with incredible speed, turning it into nothingness.
Looking at the golden shield that had completely lost contact with her and disappeared into the spatial turbulence, Tang Zijun's expression also became solemn.
"Wolf Rider, hurry up and get us out of here!" Little Grey screamed, flapping its wings.
"I'm afraid it's impossible. The space here has completely spiraled out of control." Qin Nan frowned, his face ashen as he stared at the cracks slowly tearing open in the sky.
"The sky... the sky has cracked..."
Su Siyao stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
"I'm not going to die here, am I? No, no, I have so many things I haven't experienced yet, I haven't even been in a relationship..."
Seeing Su Siyao clutching her head, her face filled with despair, Tang Cao quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, Yao Yao, we'll be alright."
"If it were a monster, that would be one thing, but... but the sky is cracked open. Unless you know Nuwa, we're definitely doomed in this situation." Su Siyao's teeth were chattering.
Unlike the panicked Su Siyao, Tang Zijun frowned slightly at this moment.
Only the Tree of Life, which opened up this space, could probably create such a huge commotion.
But the problem is, the other party has been silent for so long, and didn't even make a move when he was corrupted by the heretical demons. Why, why did he suddenly "awaken" at this moment?
Master Qingnang would never joke about such a thing, and with Hyacinth's information, the Tree of Life should clearly be exhausted and dead.
But judging from the current scene, it's clear that something has triggered her.
Has something happened to the capital...?
It should be.
Perhaps only when all hope is lost would the Tree of Life choose to risk its own death and annihilation to drag everyone down with it!
"Wolf Rider, what do we do?"
Just as Tang Zijun was lost in thought, Qin Nan's words brought him back to his senses.
After a moment's thought, Tang Zijun turned to look at the girls behind her. "Something must have happened at Tree Crown City. Sir Skull has probably already launched his all-out attack."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Tang Zijun. In this chaotic environment, the golden figure, whom Tang Cao and Su Siyao had only met once, instantly became everyone's pillar of support.
Although I don't know what the Tree Crown Royal City is or what exactly happened here, it's definitely the right thing to do to obey.
"Don't move, I'll take you up with me."
Tang Zijun's words seemed to possess some kind of magic.
Hearing his somewhat calm voice, the tension in everyone suddenly eased, and the apocalyptic scene around them didn't seem so terrifying anymore.
Meanwhile, Tan Zhixin and others who were in the tree canopy were also affected.
The distortion and tremor affected the entire space, but Tan Zhixin, who was located near the treetop, felt the catastrophe even more intensely.
A branch, as large as a skyscraper, was snapped off by immense energy. Before it could even linger in mid-air, it was swept away by the force of space, rising into the sky and disappearing into the crack.
Langya seemed to sense something, its headlights began to flash continuously, and at the same time, a series of low growls came from the body.
However, its speed did not decrease; on the contrary, it increased considerably.
Tan Zhixin gripped the handlebars tightly, watching the scene ahead constantly cracking and collapsing, but her face didn't show any particular expression.
"Hyacinth, how much longer until we arrive?"
"Almost there, at this speed we'll be there soon... Be careful!!"
As Hyacinth was speaking, a huge figure came crashing down on them.
Tan Zhixin reacted quickly, jerking the handlebars sharply, while Langya also swiftly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the falling figure.
Although it was only a brief encounter, Tan Zhixin clearly saw the other party's identity. The dark figure was none other than a strange beast created by an outsider demon.
"This, this is too much..." Xiaoqing's voice trembled slightly.
She was a veteran who had accompanied Tan Zhixin all over the country, but even she had never encountered such a terrifying situation.
If the situation hadn't prevented it, she would have urged Tan Zhixin to leave immediately.
Tan Zhixin, on the other hand, focused all her attention on determining the route. There was no fear in her eyes; instead, a blush appeared on her face.
Her breathing quickened, and Tan Zhixin's red lips parted slightly. "Hyacinth was right, it seems we really are almost there."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing and Hyacinth simultaneously raised their heads, facing the hurricane and turbulent currents as they looked ahead.
Immediately afterwards, they were both completely terrified.
About a kilometer ahead, countless enormous strange beasts were densely crawling on the surface of the Tree of Life.
Each of them was like a deformed creature that had emerged from a nightmare. Although they had bodies similar to animals, they were more ferocious and brutal than the original wild beasts!
Compared to the Tree of Life, these strange beasts were as small as ants, but in the eyes of Tan Zhixin and the others, these creatures were like small hills.
They resembled pustules growing on the surface of the Tree of Life, emanating a black mist from their entire bodies, and some of the strange beasts even had thick, fishy-smelling blood flowing from their surfaces.
These monsters roared as they climbed upwards, their minds filled with only one and only command: to ascend the tree-crowned royal city.
As the beast army frantically climbed, the entire Tree of Life teetered on the brink of collapse. Their sharp claws dug deep into the bark, and with each climb, they spread pollution into the trunk of the Tree of Life.
At this altitude, the sky seems almost within reach.
The surrounding spatial cracks grew larger and more numerous. At first, there were only a few scattered cracks, but gradually, several cracks merged into one, forming a wider gap.
A powerful suction force swept in from the crevice, pulling away several strange beasts that tried to fly up with their wings. They vanished into the depths of the rift in the blink of an eye.
But many more strange beasts were still climbing, tirelessly and relentlessly, like a horde of mad, irrational creatures.
"With this number, are the heretics preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Tree Crown Royal City?!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's probably it, but... the number of beasts isn't just these; we've only caught up with the tail of the army."
"Is this just the tail?" Xiaoqing almost bit her own tongue.
Tan Zhixin narrowed her eyes. "Xiao Qing, did you notice? These strange beasts seem different from any we've encountered before."
"They are different. Didn't they all undergo secondary modifications? Now they are not afraid of sunlight at all."
"No, that's not what I meant. Look at their appearance," Tan Zhixin said in a low voice. "Most of the strange beasts in the past were just enlarged animals, but these are on the verge of mutating into new species."
Hearing this, Xiaoqing looked over curiously.
Sure enough, as they got closer, the appearances of those strange beasts became clearer. Many of these monsters had already changed their original forms and were being transformed into new things.
"This...this aura..." Xiaoqing stared in shock at the scene before her. "It's the Tree of Life! They're being transformed by the Tree of Life!"
"It seems my earlier fears were correct; the balance has been quietly broken if we do nothing."
Tan Zhixin gritted her teeth and suddenly turned the handlebars.
The Langya roared as it started up, its two wheels seemingly tinged with a ghostly blue flame, and with unparalleled speed, it instantly overtook the group of strange beasts.
One of the strange beasts lost its grip and was blown down by the strong wind generated by Langya.
Tan Zhixin didn't even glance at it.
"Hold on tight!"
"oh!"
Hyacinth buried itself in Tan Zhixin's pocket; she was terrified.
