Chapter 768 - 768: 762 Chapter: All Grass and Trees are Soldiers, Life and Death Flourish and Wither
“This is…”
Dandelion looked suspiciously at the spherical vine-covered monster for quite a while, his expression turning ugly, “Tong God, you’re not dead yet?”
“Hehe, why, do you wish that much that I were dead?”
Willow God sneered coldly, his laughter sharp and grating, extremely unpleasant!
Dandelion did not bother with him but instead turned to the Divine Spirit adorned with black flowers, his expression complicated, “Mo Yuan, have you also defected to the Wizard?”
“It’s not just me who has defected to the Wizard. It’s just that I’m closer to this location and so I arrived first!”
Mo Yuan flew closer, his black aura bursting out like ink, the twisted figures within the black mist emerging faintly, demonic and fearful.
“Dandelion God, considering our past friendship, I advise you to give up your resistance. Now while the Wizard still has need of you, defect to his side, and you will naturally reap benefits.
Did you see Tong God? You know what state he was in after being beaten. Under the Wizard’s methods, not only did he survive, but he also gained even stronger powers than before!”
“Hmph!”
Dandelion snorted coldly, “The life you call living, is it becoming this grotesque form? Being transformed by the Wizard into something unrecognizable?
With such an appearance, even if it temporarily enhances one’s war power, how much stronger could it become?
And I don’t believe there’s much room for it to advance further in the future!”
In his view, the original body had been distorted beyond recognition, covered in traces of other Plant Spirits, making it truly uncertain whether there were any chances of advancement in the future.
As for the Wizard’s ability to revive beings close to death from severe injuries, Dandelion didn’t even mention it, completely disregarding it.
His own cultivation was founded on the Life Principle, abundant in ways to extend life. Even if he were severely injured or even if his body were blown apart, he had ways to restore himself completely.
Divine spirits who cultivated the Life Principle had survival abilities far beyond those of ordinary divine spirits.
Finally, he looked at the Divine Spirit covered with spiky thorns and flowers, confirming he did not recognize it, “Is this the monster cultivated secretly by the Wizard from captured Plant Spirits?”
“What you said isn’t entirely wrong; it is the Thorny Flower, indeed a Divine Spirit cultivated by the Wizard in recent years!”
Mo Yuan nodded slightly, “However, there’s no need to describe it as a monster. We divine spirits progress slowly. To break our boundaries and ascend to higher realms to become stronger divine spirits, undergoing some modifications by the Wizard is necessary.
Like me, without the Wizard’s transformation, where would I get such formidable power in such a short time?”
While he spoke, his ominous black fog grew even stranger: “Dandelion God, I’ll ask you one last time, will you surrender?”
“Hmph, a bunch of monsters who’ve lost their selves, living only under the Wizard’s shadow, dare to ask for my surrender?”
Dandelion’s body emanated endless glowing white light, vibrant vitality causing the ground below to shake, leaves rustling, and even some flowers and trees growing rapidly, astonishingly reaching hundreds of meters in moments.
“Myriad Phenomena!”
As Dandelion coldly shouted, the rapidly growing plants formed a green barrier around him, Qin Feng, and the Undying Qingluan, firmly protecting them.
Then he waved his hand, casting a white light: “Every Plant a Soldier!”
Instantly, the ordinary plants in the mountain forest below, which originally had no spiritual intelligence, transformed one by one. Large trees became Tree Men, and from each plant flew Wood Element Elves. The Tree Men pulled out their roots to form legs, the little elves fluttered mid-air, they executed various Wood Element Magic, throwing wooden spears, swinging leaves, waving branches, or shooting wood spurs. This multitude of spells fell like rain, their power seemingly formidable.
However, these divine spirits were stronger.
Tong God swung its thousand tendrils, like the dance of spiritual snakes, instantly dispersing the countless spells rising from below.
Thorny Flower with a whirl of its body, its numerous spines shot out, piercing through a large number of newly transformed plant spirits in an instant, leaving the ground littered and countless fallen plants uncountable.
Then they all attacked Dandelion together.
After all, this was the main battlefield. Those below were merely beings transformed by Dandelion’s military tactic of “Grass and Trees as Soldiers,” a mere distraction from their magic. Only by killing the Human Clan Envoy, protected by Pu God, would their mission be deemed complete, and consequently, they would greatly contribute to the wizards’ cause.
As long as they could disrupt the alliance between Human Clan Cultivators and the Divine King, the wizard would surely reward them generously, possibly even enhancing them to become even stronger!
A myriad of black mists accompanied Mo Yuan’s twisted figure as it pounced towards Dandelion’s defensive magic, instantly corroding a vast expanse of verdant leaves and branches.
However, that was all there was to it.
Although its spells were fierce, and the black fog’s corrosive force caused the plant-based Myriad Phenomena Protective Shield to rot away layer by layer, Dandelion’s powerful vital force enabled instant regeneration of the plants, preventing any exhaustion; its defenses were impenetrable.
In terms of strength, Mo Yuan ultimately was no match for Dandelion. Even with its bizarre abilities gifted by the wizard’s modifications, the gap in their realms could not be bridged by such peculiar tactics.
On another front, Thorny Flower also aimed its attack at Dandelion’s protective shield.
Although its numerous spines appeared daunting, they proved to be of very limited effectiveness. As a divine spirit reshaped by the wizard, although its attack power was strong, being a lower god spirit newly ascended to divinity, how could it possibly threaten Dandelion, a superior divine spirit?
On the other side, Tong God, aggressively whipping forward with its vine tentacles, managed to break through one layer of the defense, but more protective shields promptly rose from behind.
Moreover, Dandelion wasn’t the type to passively endure attacks; its superior divine strength was not for naught. Facing these opponents of lesser realms, it showed no mercy, launching various attack spells in retaliation, particularly unleashing a relentless assault on Tong God who appeared to have the fiercest offensive.
Who would let go when this guy was furiously lashing out with thousands of tendrils?
Dandelion launched beams of white light from its hand, and upon touching Tong God’s tendrils, they clung like a pernicious disease that was hard to dispel. What was more crucial was that these beams of light were sucking the life force from its tendrils, instantly causing several of Tong God’s tendrils to wither and turn into dry, dead vines!
“Life and death, flourishing and withering, damn it, you actually cultivated the ‘Waning and Flourishing’ technique that drains life force!” Tong God screamed, terrified into retreating and daring not to engage Dandelion in close combat again. Whenever the white light touched its tendrils, it would immediately cut off a section to avoid the life-draining magic’s effects.
“Iron Pine, won’t you act, and when if not now?”
Mo Yuan couldn’t hold back any longer and urgently called upon Iron Pine, who was the strongest among them.
“Humph!”
In the distance, Iron Pine wore a somewhat arrogant expression in the sky.
It deliberately delayed a bit, wanting Mo Yuan and the others to recognize the disparity between their strengths, so it could secure its leading position among the plant spirits under the wizard.
Seeing Mo Yuan and the others failing to breach Dandelion’s defense and even appearing slightly precarious under Dandelion’s counterattacks, Iron Pine finally flew forward with a touch of arrogance, raising a huge arm made of tree branches, and with immense divine force, struck Dandelion’s protective shield.
It aimed to break Dandelion’s defense in one fell swoop, capture the Human Clan Envoy, and present him before the Truth Wizard, flaunting its own accomplishments while securing its future status within the Canglan Realm.
After all, the Truth Wizard had said that if it accomplished enough, it would allow it to replace the Divine King, becoming the new Divine King!
Just the thought of the Truth Wizard’s promise excited Iron Pine immensely.
Divine Mountain was not just the best cultivation site for these plant spirits in Canglan Realm but also a place blessed with Qi Fortune, not only housing the energy-rich Spiritual Lake but more amazingly the Divine King Palace. Once it became the new Divine King, it was bound to have a chance to ascend to immortality, becoming a top-level divine spirit!
