Everyone looked up as Lu Wu pounced at the towering ancient tree.

At the same time, countless flaming vines shot out.

“Freeze.”

A biting chill spread out, freezing the ancient tree. Following that, green vines broke out from the ground and wrapped around the ancient tree.

Mingshi Yin flashed forward and tossed the Separation Hook that was glinting coldly out.

Swoosh!

The Separation Hook slashed the lower trunk of the ancient tree.

The face on the upper tree trunk sneered disdainfully before it said, “Die.”

The vines shot out again. Most of them were aimed at Lu Wu while a small number was aimed at Mingshi Yin.

“shit! What kind of monster is this?” Mingshi Yin quickly dodge. His movements were nimble and swift.

Meanwhile, while Lu Zhou watched this scene, he was reminded of Liu Ge, the former emperor of Great Yan, who had sought immortality. No matter what kind of sorcery they used, their essence still remained the same.

Bang!

Mingshi Yin was unable to avoid one of the vines and was sent flying back.

At this time, a huge number of wines wrapped around Lu Wu.

“A mere beast emperor dares to attack me?!” the ancient tree roared as the vines tightened around Lu Wu.

Lu Wu was furious. “You’re not.. a supreme beast.”

Lu Wu twisted and arched its body before it clawed at the ancient tree viciously.

Blood flowed out of the tree immediately.

When Lu Zhou saw the ancient tree seemed to be a match for Lu Wu, he waved his hand.

The Pillar of Impermanence!

The pillar expanded swiftly as it stabbed into the ground. Its diameter had grown to several meters at this time.

Boom!

“Lu Wu,” Lu Zhou called out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lu Wu stomped its legs on the ground, breaking free of the vines before leaping out of the vines’ range.

“Do you really think there’s nothing I can do?” the ancient tree said.

Lu Zhou flew next to the Pillar of Impermanence and looked at the ancient tree quietly. The vines were like tentacles as they attacked him.

Lu Zhou silently recited the incantations for the Heavenly Writing. Just like that, the vines were severed by some invisible energy and fell to the ground.

The ancient tree cried out in pain, but it did not take long before new vines began to grow again. It roared, “I’ll kill you!”

The vines were longer and much fiercer than before.

The water-like energy in the air began to surge and spread as well.

Lu Zhou stomped on the Pillar of Impermanence.

Boom!

The Pillar of Impermanence sank deeper into the ground as Lu Zhou launched himself into the sky. He pushed his hand out, manifesting his astrolabe in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew up and manifested their astrolabes as well.

Although they were a beat slower, Zhao Yu and his men followed suit. They flew into the air and manifested their astrolabes as well.

No one dared to hold back and mobilize the full power of their Birth Charts.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

It looked as though there was a meteor shower as pillars of light shot out toward the ancient tree.

Lu Zhou controlled his astrolabe as he retreated, leaving the range of the ancient tree.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bombardment of Birth Chart powers lasted for about 15 minutes.

Lu Zhou put away his astrolabe as he continued to observe the unmoving ancient tree.

All of a sudden…

Swoosh!

The tree bark suddenly peeled off before green fog rose from the ground, swiftly healing the tree.

Upon seeing this, Mingshi Yin cursed, “shit! You’re cheating!”

The ancient tree stood in its spot and looked at Lu Zhou and the others as it said, “It’s been a long time since humans came to the Great Desolate Land and delivered themselves for me to eat!”

“…”

Mingshi Yin did not dare to act recklessly. He dragged Qiong Qi with him as he retreated. “Doggy, don’t mess around! We really can’t afford to mess with this, but… we can hide!”

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The ancient tree laughed. “I’m the lord here. Who dares to defy me?”

Countless vines shot again toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Lu Zhou looked at the ancient tree and tonelessly said, “You’re too arrogant.”

Then, Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.

The Pillar of Impermanence spun rapidly, causing the ground to quake.

“Hmm?” The ancient tree began to feel like something was amiss.

Lu Zhou limited the range of the Pillar of Impermanence to a radius of a few dozen meters, covering the area where the ancient tree took root. The pillar’s effect quickly became obvious to all.

The weeds on the ground grew; small trees grew taller.

The ancient tree exclaimed in shock, “The Pillar of Impermanence?!”

“You recognize the pillar?”

“This pillar is an evil thing that heaven and earth can’t tolerate! How did you subdue it?” the ancient tree asked.

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “You’re borrowing the tree to extend your life, trying to break the shackles of life. With the Pillar of Impermanence, your vitality energy will be completely absorbed sooner or later.”

The ancient tree stopped moving, closing its eyes and mouth. With that, the vines stopped moving as well. At this time, it looked no different from an ordinary ancient tree.

“I’ll let you have a feel of the Pillar of Impermanence,” Lu Zhou said as he waved his hand, mobilizing his supreme power. This was the first time he had imbued the Pillar of Impermanence with his supreme power.

The absorption speed of the Pillar of Impermanence increased swiftly from 20 times to 100 times. It showed no sign of stopping.

Vitality energy began to converge at the Pillar of Impermanence, forming a vortex.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion had experienced the power of the pillar so they knew how terrifying it was.

At this time, the absorption speed had increased from 100 times to 200 times. Accordingly, the consumption of Lu Zhou’s supreme power had increased as well.

At this time, it would depend on who surrendered first.

“Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”

Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground, unleashing his supreme power. He did not consider using the supreme power to kill the ancient tree earlier since he was not sure if that was possible. It was undoubtedly the best choice to use the Pillar of Impermanence. If it did not work, he would just find another way.

After the supreme power exploded, the absorption speed of the Pillar of Impermanence increased even more rapidly than before.

200 times.

500 times.

1,000 times.

2,000 times.

5,000 times.

At this point, Lu Zhou finally felt like he had reached his limit so he withdrew his hand.

The Pillar of Impermanence’s range now covered a radius of nearly 100 meters as its absorption speed increased to 5,000 times its original speed. This meant that a day outside of its range was equivalent to 5,000 days inside its range. This kind of absorption speed naturally could not be used for cultivation. Even if one had many years to waste, it still would not be conducive to cultivation since it would be difficult for one to stabilize one’s cultivation base after breaking through.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yu could not help but clap his hands. “I didn’t expect the Old Sir to have such means!”

Mingshi Yin asked, “Why would a human borrow a tree to live?”

Zhao Yu shrugged. “I don’t know either. We’ll have to ask him…”

The ancient tree remained where it was and ignored the others.

Lu Li looked at the ground before he said, “Be careful that it doesn’t suddenly run away.”

“The tree can move?!”

“Before this, did you think that trees can talk?” Lu Li asked.

“…” Mingshi Yin was rendered speechless.

Indeed. If that tree could talk, it was likely it could move as well. From the looks of it, it really did not seem like it could move freely like humans and fierce beasts. Otherwise, it would have escaped long ago. However, there was no way to be certain so it was best to be cautious.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked at the ancient tree and said, “Let’s see how long you’ll be able to hold out.”
