Chapter 987: Chapter 526: The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is Restless_2

And he, of course, was not just an ordinary high-ranking being.

The coveted divine object of his dreams was right before his eyes.

What he had to do next was...

He was still pondering how to take away this Life Tree... His knowledge of the Yiduola Life Tree was in fact only superficial, but the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was confident that with his accomplishments in the Root Law, taking away a tree would not be difficult.

However, his expression changed.

Suddenly, a surge of opposition force transmitted through the roots he had concealed.

Although he quickly stabilized it, there were still slivers of energy leaking out.

"Has... has this lord been discovered?"

The next moment, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards confirmed it was not by accident.

There were eyes watching from afar, locking onto his figure.

It was a human female dressed in cyan-green clothing, and on her usually gentle face a stern and cold expression gradually appeared.

"Hmph!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards waved his sleeve and emerged from the roots. Since he had been discovered, with his noble status, he naturally disdained to continue hiding.

"Human of high-ranking status, you cannot stop this lord."

"Your humans have a saying that is very apt, ’Treasures belong to those who are fated to them.’

"And the Yiduola Life Tree is fated to this lord; leaving it in the hands of you humans would only waste the divine power of such a tree."

He soared upward.

The profound power of the Root Law diffused out, and what he also deployed was the innate divine ability he was born with as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.

In an instant, billions of tree roots danced wildly. The ground undulated under the stir of the roots, as if waves were churning, buzzing continuously.

The entire First Province was shaking, and countless people’s complexions changed, revealing an expression of panic.

Some powerhouses looked toward the depths of the lush forest.

"An enemy has infiltrated!"

"Such magnificent power, the earth seems to have turned into an ocean of roots... This is a high-ranking presence!"

"Quick, sound the first-level alarm!"

These thoughts only just bubbled up in the minds of various mythological beings; they hadn’t had the chance to move when the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, carrying immense power, enveloped the Yiduola Life Tree that existed in a state ’between being and non-being’.

He, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, could destroy the entire First Province in a blink, but there was no need; such actions would only anger the human fire lineage and be of no benefit to himself.

Using these roots as a foothold, he could quickly pry up the colossal Yiduola Life Tree.

And even more effortlessly, defeat any ordinary high-ranking being.

There is a vast difference between high-ranking beings and high-ranking beings. And he, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, was one of the most top-tier high-ranking beings.

"Rise!"

The ground roared.

Thick roots, like earth dragons, sprung from the ground, enveloping the human female standing under the Life Tree.

"Human, step aside. Otherwise, don’t blame this lord for not being merciful."

His voice boomed like thunder, rolling thunderously.

The earth dragons soaring in the sky dove down.

The human female in cyan attire did not change her expression, but the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards did.

The stout root dragons inexplicably began to crack open. From those cracks, green shoots burst forth rapidly growing.

In the blink of an eye, the brown root dragons were covered in green shoots.

The shoots engulfed the earth dragons, transforming into flying green vines, curling back down.

"This... this..."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards could no longer focus on shaking the roots of the Yiduola Life Tree, for he realized that the human high-ranking being in front of him was not quite right, not an ordinary high-ranking being at all.

Very likely, not weaker than himself.

He must gather all his strength to deal with it.

"The Array of the Myriad Roots and Vines!"

The roots interwove with each other, with power spreading continuously, relying on individual nodes.

This was the signature technique of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, which could amplify the Power of Law tenfold, a hundredfold.

But just as the array began to weave, those roots quickly split apart, crumbling like scraps of paper. There were wildly dancing vines, scattered flower blossoms, and whirling leaves.

Vines, flowers, and leaves together constructed a beautiful scene.

Yet within this beauty, there was a strong killing intent.

Great terror and great power assaulted the senses.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards’s complexion changed again and again, "How can my roots be so frail?" His roots which even the Deity Demon weapons struggled to cut were now like thin sheets of paper, puncturing at the slightest touch.

He began to think of retreat.

To use the roots to block the enemy while he himself rapidly fled through the root systems of the trees.

But,

He seemed unable to command the roots of the trees all around, and the churning tree sea gradually calmed down.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards’ robes split open, and his arms and legs turned into countless squirming roots, revealing his true form!

Yet he still felt as though he had fallen into a quagmire, his own roots somewhat out of control, as if insects inside were squirming, threatening to break through his skin and burst out.

It’s a budding sprout!

His own body had even been treated as soil.

"This is impossible!"

"Such a terrifying killing move cannot exist!"

"Wait, such mighty power... It’s the power of Authority! Are you a real god of the tenth realm who holds an Authority?!"

The voice of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards became sharp and distorted.

Heavy with incredulity and reluctance!

He stared at the woman in green clothes in the distance, very reluctantly!

Amongst humanity’s ranks, only one and a half were known to be strong.

One refers to the guide of humanity’s last spark, whose specific strength is uncertain, but likely to be a strong one within the tenth realm.

The half refers to Yiluo Xi of the Fentian Flame. This person once surpassed the Devouring Behemoth by a notch at an ancient alliance and excels in the power of Flame, which restrains the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards comparatively.

Beyond these, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards doesn’t care about other strong ones.

He has his own pride.

But he could have never imagined that amongst humanity, there was still such an exceptional strong one hidden.

A tenth realm being who held an Authority of the Wood Series!

He resented it!

"You, a dignified being of the tenth realm, actually disguised yourself as a higher-up to squat and deceive me!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards no longer dared to burrow into the roots.

He burned all his strength, suppressed the abnormality within him, and fled through the air.

Then, he was entangled by countless vines and firmly suppressed.

The earth shook slightly.

Liu Chang stepped forward, stopping a kilometer away.

"Uninvited guest, our guide is merciful, granting you a chance to live."

"... Now, it’s time to make your choice."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, pinned under the vines, signed a contract like a devil’s, his eyes completely losing their light.

...

The alarms of the thirteen provinces of the sacred court rang out.

In the darkness, someone cackled with glee.

"The sacred court is in chaos, the opportunity we’ve been waiting for, has arrived!"

The alarms of the thirteen provinces of the sacred court ceased, and the cities returned to their normal state.

In the darkness, the shadowy figure who cackled ceased its laughter abruptly.

Plunged into self-doubt.

...

When the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was discovered by Liu Chang, Xiao Huan also immediately informed Fang You of the news.

Now the inner circle of the sacred court’s first province has already been included in the organization’s actual domain.

Guide Fang You can teleport freely within the organization’s domain with a mere thought and could naturally arrive at the incident location of the first province in an instant.

However, there’s no need.

Liu Chang could easily suppress this ancient being.

It’s not that the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is too weak, but rather Liu Chang is too strong, holding 15% of the power of the Essence of Life Authority, and her Authority power inherently restrains the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.

In a battle between those of the same series, the comparison of strength and weakness becomes even more apparent!

If the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards held an Authority power higher than Liu Chang, then the one being restrained at every turn would be Liu Chang.

"Not only that, but the divine and mighty power inherently possessed by the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards has the effect of promoting the evolution of the tree of life."

It’s possible that it’s this power that enhanced the absorbing capability of the tree’s roots, or perhaps the strength of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is valuable food for the tree of life.

In any case, the work of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards now is to squeeze out his own power continuously for twenty-four hours, providing nutrients for the tree of life. That is the price he must pay for survival.

There is no such thing as human rights for a defeated prisoner of war.

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards must exhaust his own power. He can’t turn the tables. Of course, if he can significantly reduce the evolution time of the tree of life, his sentence may be reduced in the future," Fang You thought.

The recent upheaval was just a false alarm for the sacred court.

However, the defensive system of the sacred court is full of holes, doubtless to say.

There’s nothing to be done about it.

The original defense system relied on the layout of the Eternal Pure Land and cost the sacred court tens or hundreds of years of time and innumerable manpower and resources. Fang You uses the Eternal Pure Land more efficiently, but he also cannot build the defense system up to the previous level in a short period of time.

It is still more reliable to rely on strong individuals for defense.

"The Ghastly Realm is gradually becoming chaotic, a wild dance of Deity Demons has begun."

"Not to mention facing Evil Gods, even when facing some Top Ancient Gods and powerful Ancient Gods, the strength of my cultivation is still insufficient."

What to do when the firepower isn’t enough?

Cultivate, nurture!

Once there are twenty, forty, a hundred high-ranking individuals in my ranks, perhaps the pressure of defense could be alleviated a lot.
