#222 - Chapter 222: Instant Kill

"What should I do?" At this moment, Lin Changqing's scalp was tingling. He never expected that the great horror he encountered would be such an opponent. Facing an enemy who might be in the Da Luo realm, Lin Changqing couldn't think of any way to deal with such an enemy.

"A Nascent Soul is like an ant in front of an immortal, let alone in front of a Da Luo. Da Luo is the supreme and self-strengthening realm, the end point among immortals, an eternal realm. One finger is enough to crush me." Lin Changqing's lips were bitter. He finally understood what the Inheritance Artifact Spirit meant when it said that his probability of passing was one in a million, or rather, zero.

Indeed, it was very difficult for him, a Nascent Soul, to block a Da Luo. He also understood somewhat why Qin Wushang could only last for three seconds.

To put it bluntly, it's already very strong for a Nascent Soul to last three seconds in front of a Da Luo without being instantly killed.

Lin Changqing even suspected that a Da Luo realm immortal might only need to glance at him to kill him instantly.

"No, since a test is set up, there must be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the Inheritance Artifact Spirit wouldn't have said there's a one in a million probability. There must be a way to stop that ancient great power." Lin Changqing paced back and forth in front of the Primordial Stone City like an ant in extreme heat. He suddenly felt that it might not be impossible to stop this ancient great power from felling the World Tree after all, since the Inheritance Artifact Spirit said there was a one in a million probability.

That means there is a glimmer of hope.

But what is the method?

Relying on cultivation alone is definitely impossible. The gap between the Nascent Soul and Da Luo realms is too great. What other method can be used?

[You are thinking about how to stop this ancient great power. After a quarter of an hour, your thoughts are interrupted because a shocking call comes from the Primordial Stone City behind you. Many people are calling out together.]

"People of the Stone City, gather! Quickly go and save the World Tree! That group of people has set their sights on the World Tree. We must protect the World Tree!" A large number of soldiers walked out of the Stone City, led by a man wearing cyan armor. He flew towards the east.

[You hear the cyan-armored man's words, and your expression changes. You follow behind this group of people. You fly east for about a quarter of an hour, and you seem to have reached the end of the world. You see an unimaginable tree. It seems to exist outside of time and space, vast and boundless, with 108,000 leaves. Each leaf hangs a planet, with ancient gods, true dragons, and phoenixes hanging on them. This is the World Tree, known as the origin of all heavens and realms, but now this tree is being attacked by a group of unknown monsters. Those monsters are all insects, and there are also some wolf-headed monsters. They are roaring and gnawing at the World Tree, and the World Tree is constantly wailing.]

"Kill these Void Insects and Void Wolves! The power on their bodies suppresses the World Tree. We must not let them continue to gnaw at the World Tree, otherwise the World Tree's origin will be completely devoured by them!" the cyan-armored man shouted, leading the soldiers behind him to fight with the Void Insects and Void Wolf-headed monsters.

"What are Void Insects and Void Wolves?"

[You hear two brand new terms from the cyan-armored man. You have never heard of these two races before. Moreover, according to the armored man, these two races seem to suppress the World Tree's origin. You observe them, and you feel that every insect is incredibly powerful. Even the weakest Void Insect is countless times stronger than you. You speculate that these Void Insects and Void Wolves are probably at least in the Immortal realm. The cyan-armored man seems to be a relatively powerful immortal, and the soldiers behind him are all immortals at the very least. Now, they are fighting with the monsters. You want to go up and help, but you can't intervene at all because you are only a Nascent Soul.]

[After two quarters of an hour, the cyan-armored man leads the soldiers to drive away some of the Void Insects and Void Wolves, but it is still to no avail, because the sky seems to have a black hole, and Void Insects and Void Wolves are constantly crawling down and falling onto the World Tree, starting to gnaw. You can see that the World Tree is weakening bit by bit. You feel extremely anxious because that ancient great power has not yet appeared. You cannot resist these small soldiers, Void Insects, and Void Wolves in front of you. You are only in the Nascent Soul realm. It is too difficult to resist.]

"What exactly should I do in this test? My Nascent Soul strength is too weak. I'm afraid I can't even beat the weakest Void Insect or Void Wolf." Lin Changqing shook his head. He was currently hiding at the edge of the battlefield. There was no way. With his Nascent Soul strength, if he went to the middle of the battlefield, he would probably be instantly killed by those Void Insects and Void Wolves.

Those Void Insects and Void Wolves are the most powerful monsters he has ever seen. Each one is an immortal. His Nascent Soul realm is too far behind.

[After another two quarters of an hour, the Void Wolves and Void Insects gradually surround the cyan-armored man. Many of the soldiers have also died in battle. It seems that they are about to perish. But at this moment, the cyan-armored man suddenly looks in your direction. He waves his hand and grabs you in front of him.]

"Who are you? Why do I sense fragments of the World Tree on your body, and the fragments of the World Tree on your body are…" The cyan-armored man's eyes stared sharply at Lin Changqing. He felt very strange. It was too unreasonable for the World Tree fragments to appear on this Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him. The World Tree is still alive, so why would fragments appear?

This made the cyan-armored man a little puzzled, but that was not the important thing. The important thing was that the cyan-armored man sensed a special power on Lin Changqing's body.

"I…" Lin Changqing couldn't speak because the pressure brought by the cyan-armored man was too strong. This was at least a Golden Immortal level. The suppression of a Golden Immortal on a Nascent Soul was too strong. He couldn't speak.

The cyan-armored man reacted and withdrew his own pressure, quietly looking at Lin Changqing, seemingly waiting for an explanation from him. At this time, the Void Insects and Void Wolves also began to slowly surround the armored man and his soldiers.

"The World Tree fragments… I learned about them by chance. It was a stroke of luck for me. I obtained them from a painting," Lin Changqing said directly.

"Is that so…" Perhaps because the situation was too critical, the cyan-armored man nodded without pursuing the matter too much. He looked into the distance. Some of his soldiers had been killed by the Void Insects and Void Wolves again. Now he had to think of a way.

"Lend me your World Tree fragments for a while. Afterward, I will definitely repay you," the cyan-armored man said. Lin Changqing nodded. Then, Lin Changqing took out the World Tree fragments from his dantian.

The cyan-armored man took it into his hand. He pointed to the sky, shouting something unknown, like a priestly incantation. In the dark, he used the World Tree fragments in his hand as if he was communicating with something. The enormous World Tree behind him suddenly began to twist greatly. Each leaf trembled frantically. As soon as it trembled, the Void Wolves and Void Insects that were gnawing on the World Tree began to die.

In less than ten seconds, all the Void Insects and Void Wolves were killed!
