*Boom, boom, boom…* The towering Willow Tree flowed into the distance along the River of Earth.
However, not long after…
*Ha* A sigh escaped from Yu Zi Yu as he chose to stop in his tracks.
Looking back, he found himself 10-20 kilometers away from his original location. He had only used the ability for a few minutes, but his Spiritual Energy was significantly depleted.
Unlike other abilities, the River of Earth was Yu Zi Yu’s ability to infiltrate the earth with his Spiritual Energy and turn it into a river.
However, Yu Zi Yu’s main body was incredibly massive. His primary root was deeply rooted in the depths of the earth like a Wood Dragon, reaching unfathomable depths. His nine sub-roots were coiled around half of the Misty Mountains like a spider web.
The amount of Spiritual Energy Yu Zi Yu had infused into the earth at any given moment was undoubtedly immense.
It could be said that the River of Earth was useful for traveling but had some limitations when it came to combat, dodging attacks, and other stuff.
Nonetheless, it was sufficient for his needs.
Looking at the scenery that was different from that of North Canyon and could not help but feel emotional.
“I can finally move.” Yu Zi Yu’s words were filled with emotions.
From his initial desire to pull out his roots and run under the setting sun to the desire of cultivating a powerful ability to sneak through the earth with his roots like the ninja technique, Floating Foot, Yu Zi Yu had gone through many expectations.
But ultimately, he had cultivated the ‘River of Earth’ ability, which turned the earth into a river and allowed him to travel within the earth.
“Man proposes, God disposes. Nevertheless, it could be considered a perfect ending.”
Yu Zi Yu lightly chuckled, feeling a little satisfied.
As for the River of Earth’s consumption of Spiritual Energy and the tremendous disturbance it caused, that could be dealt with later.
For now, he had to return to North Canyon.
The second wave of the Spiritual Energy tide was about to arrive, and the entire North Canyon needed him. He could not stray too far.
…
By the time Yu Zi Yu returned to North Canyon, several hours had passed.
During this period, he had used the River of Earth ability to explore a small part of Misty Mountains.
Now, if one were to look at Misty Mountains from above, they would undoubtedly see thousands of trees strewn about chaotically on the ground. In some places, it was as if a bulldozer had leveled the terrain. This was how terrifying Yu Zi Yu was now.
Even though he tried to avoid it, the sheer force of his massive body made it difficult to minimize the impact on the environment.
Fortunately, Yu Zi Yu possessed another Innate Talent.
And with the help of this talent, Yu Zi Yu could easily repair the damage he caused to Misty Mountains.
With these thoughts in mind, a glimmer shone in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.
“Advent of the Tree World,” murmuring to himself, a vast amount of Spiritual Energy spread from his body in all directions like a tide.
And at this moment, an inexplicable force began to circulate throughout a large part of Misty Mountains.
Following which, new green shoots began sprouting at a speed visible to the naked eye before countless trees sprang from the ground, piercing through the earth and breaking out of the cliffs.
Endless, without an end in sight
This was Yu Zi Yu’s other Innate Talent – Seeds of Life.
While the tremendous consumption of Spiritual Energy was due to the fact that the Innate Talent was incomplete, it still presented an unimaginable grand scene under the influence of Yu Zi Yu’s current one million Spiritual Energy Level.
Now, the area around Yu Zi Yu was once again filled with lush trees. Fresh leaves were trembling slightly, as if welcoming new life.
However, who could have imagined that such a vibrant forest concealed hidden danger?
With a thought, right before Yu Zi Yu’s eyes, one tree after another transformed into long spears, quickly shooting dozens of meters high, as if they wanted to pierce the sky.
Then, with another thought…
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Countless vine-like tendrils began to whip the sky.
So long as Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy had not dissipated, he had absolute control over this forest. These trees were extensions of his arms, allowing him to launch attacks and defend at will.
“This is quite a terrifying technique.” Yu Zi Yu smiled in his heart, imagining the bewildered and desperate look on the faces of his enemies when he used this technique on them.
After all, the true Advent of the Tree World was known as the All-Purpose Technique.
While Yu Zi Yu was only imitating it, the power he displayed was nothing to scoff at. The only headache was that due to the incomplete nature of his In the distance, the strength and scale of the trees were far from meeting Yu Zi Yu’s expectations.
At least, as a trump card for a Tier-3 Transcendent, it was a bit lacking.
However, these issues were not a big concern at the moment because Yu Zi Yu had already found an opportunity for a breakthrough.
He looked toward the edge of Misty Mountains, where a graceful figure was slowly approaching.
Following closely behind her were giant serpents.
They were green Pythons measuring tens of meters in length, silver-white Pythons similar to the White Snake guarding the ice cave in the depths of North Canyon. Except, compared to White Snake, these silver-white giant Pythons were undoubtedly bigger and thicker.
These were probably some Mutant Beasts that Thorns had tamed.
But Yu Zi Yu could not help but wonder whether it was appropriate for a woman to tame such cold-blooded Mutant Snakes.
However, Yu Zi Yu did not pay too much attention to it. After all, these Mutant Snakes were pretty strong. The strongest among them had reached Tier-0 Level 8, while the weakest were at Tier-0 Level 7. It was quite a formidable force.
More importantly, Thorns was among them.
Just from her aura, Yu Zi Yu could tell that she was on the verge of breaking through.
When he saw her drenched in red and the blood-red vines dancing in the air, as if baring fangs, Yu Zi Yu had a rough idea.
[She must have used the devouring ability of the blood-red vines to devour the blood essence of the Mutant Beast after killing them. Only then could she be a step away from breaking through overnight. But that’s fine too. I’ll still need her help to complete my Seeds of Life ability.]
Smiling, Yu Zi Yu looked at the approaching figure with a hint of anticipation.
…
The night had shrouded everything in darkness.
After Thorns entrusted several giant snakes to Fourth Brother, Sarcosuchus, she made her way to North Canyon alone.
However, what took her by surprise was that the vicinity of North Canyon seemed to have undergone a total rebirth, with countless trees appearing lush and green.
“Well!?”
As if realizing something, Thorns’ gaze shifted toward the towering tree hidden in the thick mist.
“Lord Divine Tree, what have you done again?”
Slightly puzzled, Thorns lifted her graceful foot.
However, before she could step into North Canyon, followed by a ‘whoosh,’ a green willow branch surged from the depths of the mist.
Before Thorns could react, the slender willow branch had already coiled around her waist.
Immediately after, she was pulled into the depths of the mist by the willow branch.
