#623 - The terrible sacrifice
"A puny wild tree, how laughable!"
The Wolf King sneered, not taking the old locust tree seriously at all, as its massive, mountain-like paw slammed down!
Among the sacrificial spirits, there are also those who are strong and weak.
Only by being sufficiently powerful can one, upon becoming a sacrificial spirit and enjoying the offerings of a tribe, possess a higher upper limit.
And plant-type sacrificial spirits, in terms of combat power, are often the weakest, far inferior to other sacrificial spirits in the same realm, let alone a top powerhouse like the Wolf King!
Compared to the Wolf King's massive paw, the old locust tree appeared so small, seemingly vulnerable to a single blow.
However, those emerald green branches were incomparably sharp, spreading like chains of divine order, and like peerless war spears, they directly pierced through the Wolf King's paw, bringing with them a string of blue blood, dripping with fresh blood, constantly flowing.
The Wolf King's blood was very special, shimmering with light, accompanied by a vigorous life force spreading out.
Having reached its level of existence, with its profound cultivation, every drop of blood was a precious medicine, possessing infinite wonderful uses.
"What!?"
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit—"
The warriors of the Thunder Mountain Tribe suddenly contracted their pupils, letting out an unbelievable exclamation.
They saw the old locust tree's dozen or so branches pierce through the Wolf King's paw, instantly spreading to its entire body, actually forming a cage, completely binding the Wolf King's massive, mountain-like body!
This scene shocked everyone in the Thunder Mountain Tribe, making their scalps tingle, and they felt their hearts rise to their throats.
That was their Lord Sacrificial Spirit, whom they had been worshiping for tens of thousands of years, how could it be defeated by the Blazing Sun Tribe's sacrificial spirit at the first encounter!?
How is this possible!!
"Awoo!!"
Suddenly, the Wolf King roared to the sky, letting out a deafening roar, and blazing, terrifying blue lightning erupted from its body, like flames burning fiercely, instantly shattering the branches wrapped around it, breaking free from control.
It could be seen that the Wolf King had many bloody wounds on its body, all caused by the branches.
If it had been any later, it might have been strangled to death by the branches, its body exploding.
"Wild tree, you have angered me!"
The Wolf King let out a low growl, its eyes cold and terrifying, quite annoyed.
It had actually been injured by the old locust tree due to its carelessness, which was simply a disgrace to it!
"Awoo—"
The Wolf King howled to the sky again, with lightning flashing on its body, deafening.
Endless blue light submerged this mountain range, everything became blurred, and the Wolf King's figure instantly transformed into countless afterimages, pouncing fiercely from all directions, its aura terrifying.
The old locust tree remained calm and indifferent, without saying a word, just quietly standing there, giving people a great sense of security.
Chi!
The old locust tree formed hand seals, its body becoming more and more hazy and holy, and in a trance, the sounds of chanting from the gods of the heavens seemed to ring out, and the illusory figure of the locust tree behind it instantly magnified, reaching the sky and the earth, standing between heaven and earth.
Emerald green branches swayed, flowing with mysterious light, their aura profound and terrifying, striking through one after another afterimage like lightning, accurately locking onto the Wolf King's true body!
In an instant, the two sides broke out in a shocking battle!
It must be said that the Wolf King's strength was truly very strong, its energy and blood were as vast as the sea, and every strike could shake the entire Thunder Mountain Tribe.
In the end, the Wolf King directly communicated with the heavens and earth, summoning lightning from the sky, submerging the entire Thunder Mountain Tribe, turning it into a sea of lightning.
If the old locust tree had not opened up a domain to protect Su Chen and his group, the aftermath of the lightning alone would have been enough to instantly shatter everything.
Boom—
Branches danced wildly in the sky, like chains of divine order intertwined, not only blocking all of the Wolf King's attacks, but also destroying everything in its path, piercing through the Wolf King's body time and time again, wrapping it and sealing it!
"Roar!!"
The Wolf King roared incessantly, resisting with all its might, but was horrified to discover that the branches were becoming more and more resilient, their aura mysterious and terrifying, and its attacks could no longer harm it!
"No… impossible!!"
"How can you be so strong!?"
"I am not reconciled—"
Soon, accompanied by the Wolf King's horrified and unwilling screams, it no longer had the power to resist, its entire body was pierced by branches, bound into a 'zongzi', dripping with blood, and hung on the locust tree.
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit!?"
"How could this be…"
When the people of the Thunder Mountain Tribe saw this, they felt their livers and gallbladders split, their faces turned green, and a feeling of fear and despair surged into their hearts.
Even the sacrificial spirit of the Thunder Mountain Tribe was defeated, this battle ended quickly, the Wolf King was far from being the old locust tree's opponent!
The Blazing Sun Tribe's sacrificial spirit… what kind of monster is it!?
"So strong!"
Ying and Qing Ling and others were also awe-struck, with a hint of amazement in their eyes, they did not expect that this seemingly ordinary locust tree, once it unleashed its power, would be so terrifying!
"Run—"
The Thunder Mountain Tribe's leader and another Celestial God Realm powerhouse felt fear in their hearts, immediately abandoning the white-haired old man and turning to flee!
Unfortunately, in the face of the old locust tree's terrifying strength, even running away was a luxury!
More than a dozen emerald green branches shot out like lightning, flowing with mysterious light, incomparably sharp, instantly piercing through their bodies, hanging them all up, and tying them to the locust tree.
"Next, my Blazing Sun Tribe will have a fierce battle, if you submit to me and fight for my Blazing Sun Tribe, I can spare your lives and the lives of everyone in the Thunder Mountain Tribe."
"If you can survive this battle, I can also set you free."
"If you refuse, I will kill you now and exterminate the entire Thunder Mountain Tribe."
The old locust tree spoke, its voice calm and indifferent.
But at this time, no one would doubt its strength!
"Senior, I, I am willing to submit!"
The Thunder Mountain Tribe's leader was the first to surrender, shouting loudly, not wanting to die.
As the Thunder Mountain Tribe's leader, he was a hegemon in the Primordial World, with a lofty status, and he had not enjoyed it enough, so naturally he would not be willing to die.
"Me too!"
Soon, the other two Celestial God Realm powerhouses of the Thunder Mountain Tribe also spoke, choosing to submit.
Who would choose to die when they could live?
Even the always proud Wolf King, at this moment, lowered its head and said in a muffled voice: "I am the sacrificial spirit of the Thunder Mountain Tribe, I must not let anything happen to the tribe I protect! For the Thunder Mountain Tribe… I am willing to submit!"
That's what it said, but whether the Wolf King was doing it for the Thunder Mountain Tribe or for its own life was uncertain.
"Very good."
The old locust tree nodded, and branches glowed, condensing into mysterious runes, directly entering their sea of consciousness, forming prohibitions and curses.
As long as they dared to rebel, the old locust tree could destroy them with a single thought!
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit is mighty!"
When the white-haired old man saw this, he was overjoyed, incomparably excited and thrilled.
These are four Celestial God Realm combatants!
With the addition of these four Celestial God Realm combatants from the Thunder Mountain Tribe, there will be more hope in the future to fight against the Ancient Heavenly Fire Kingdom!
