Chapter 493: Chapter 20 Severing the Foundation of the Path_2
Terrible fluctuations of Spiritual Power swept across, and the already cracked earth, under this rampant Spiritual Power, saw chunks of soil falling and the fissures widening.
The Vine Shield, made of countless green vines, quickly developed cracks under the sword strike and eventually burst into innumerable wood chips that scattered with the wind.
However, the Mountain Ghost’s Primordial Spirit, shielded by the Vine Shield, had already disappeared.
Seeing the dire situation, it chose to hide back inside the Life Thunder Fruit tree.
But now, the Life Thunder Fruit tree was trembling ferociously, its once radiant protective light on the surface had dimmed to the extreme.
This was because the earth it rooted in had all its power devoured by Lu Qingshan, depriving it of its source of strength.
Lu Qingshan looked at the Life Thunder Fruit tree with a brooding gaze.
“Despair,” his calm voice echoed through the canyon.
The Mountain Ghost indeed despaired.
In this situation, it wished it could grow legs and flee.
The fact was, now transformed into the Life Thunder Fruit tree, it didn’t even have legs to hobble on, let alone flee!
This was the downside of being a plant spirit, knowing one couldn’t resist yet not even having the right to flee.
Lu Qingshan didn’t provide the Mountain Ghost with a chance to speak again, his eyes filled with deep malice.
His figure tore through the sky, the previously feared Thunder Domain was now powerless under the formidable Power of the Mountains and Seas.
Carrying a terrifying wind, Lu Qingshan fiercely slammed towards the precious Life Thunder Tree.
Standing above the Life Thunder Fruit tree, Lu Qingshan wielded the Dragon Sparrow heavily, the fierce Sword Qi and flames cleaved towards the dense protective light of the tree.
Twenty thousand years allowed the Mountain Ghost to cultivate the body of the Life Thunder Tree to the pinnacle of Fifth Grade.
With the infinite power of the earth, in this territory, even a Sixth Realm Cultivator posed no fear to it.
Yet now, in front of Lu Qingshan, a Nascent Soul Cultivator from whom the foundation had been stripped, the Mountain Ghost plunged into the most terrifying life-and-death crisis.
The second Heaven Suppressing Sword heavily landed on the Life Thunder Fruit tree, immediately causing radiant lights to scatter and a piercing noise of Spiritual Power colliding and melting erupted frenetically.
Both Lu Qingshan’s Dragon Sparrow and the protective light of the Life Thunder Tree held extremely formidable powers.
As the two forces clashed, they began to erode each other, and at their junction, even the light twisted strangely.
A massive shockwave, centered on Lu Qingshan and the Life Thunder Tree, swept in all directions.
The previously troubling thunderbolts to Lu Qingshan were quickly extinguished under the impact of this shockwave.
A faint cracking sound emerged.
The protective light on the Life Thunder Tree finally showed a crack.
A cold smile appeared on Lu Qingshan’s blood-covered face.
He quickly withdrew his sword, then slashed again.
Along that crack, he unleashed the third Sword of Heaven Suppressing.
Point breaking the surface, the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent suddenly erupted.
Cold light flickered, and at the moment Lu Qingshan’s third sword struck, the Protective Body Light finally could not withstand the might of the Dragon Sparrow, all the protective light exploded into specks.
The sharp sword blade, forming a line of frost, cleaved with scorching flames from the top of the palm-sized Life Thunder Tree.
The flames instantly enveloped and submerged the precious tree.
The Mountain Ghost’s mournful and agonized shriek emanated from the fiercely burning Life Thunder Tree.
It had just successfully stripped the foundation from Lu Qingshan’s body, the future was bright, it should have been at its proudest moment.
How had the situation reversed in the blink of an eye?
The Mountain Ghost, he couldn’t understand! He felt wronged!
Raging resentment surged skyward.
The Mountain Ghost became a Resentful Spirit.
“I am not resigned!!” The Mountain Ghost screamed in despair, its last roar.
It could clearly feel its lifeforce rapidly dissipating.
It had survived the clan-exterminating catastrophe twenty thousand years ago.
Yet now, it was entering a dead end in such a manner.
How could it be resigned to this?
Its hatred for Lu Qingshan had reached its peak, and its regret also reached an extreme.
“Twenty thousand years…” The Mountain Ghost’s consciousness gradually blurred, its voice also began to weaken.
Soon, the once radiant and mystic Life Thunder Tree under the flames turned into ashes.
As the Life Thunder Tree was reduced to ash, the thunderbolts in the Duke of Thunder’s domain, sprawling across the sky, also slowly began to fade from inside out.
The source of the thunderbolts in the Duke of Thunder’s domain was originally the precious tree.
Once the Life Thunder Tree vanished, these thunderbolts became water without a source, their potency gradually waning until they disappeared.
Lu Qingshan’s body, at this moment, staggered and trembled.
The Power of the Mountains and Seas brought such formidable strength that deploying Heaven Suppressing at such intensity was more than his current state could bear.
Inside his body, waves of severe pain continuously transmitted.
Blood still flowed uninterrupted from his body, causing his consciousness to blur slightly.
“If this continues, there will be no blood left to flow,” Lu Qingshan tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Oblivion flew out from his body and landed in his hand.
The blade of Oblivion flashed with dazzling Sword Light.
But this sword light was not directed toward an enemy, but toward Lu Qingshan himself.
Oblivion: Azure Fall.
Oblivion’s Sword of Life.
A rich vitality along this Sword Light infused into his body, turning into an extremely comfortable stream that flowed through his limbs and pervaded every part of his body.
