Chapter 436: Chapter 262 Tree King Illusion_1
Blocking the path before the Leaf Flying Boat was a middle-aged man dressed in purple brocade robe, casually standing on air with his hands behind his back, likely a master of a Special Beast Training Skill that allowed him to borrow the strength of his Pet Beast.
"We are."
"Qing Lianshan." Seeing this man, City Lord Tian, who stood at the bow of the boat, said in surprise, "You’ve actually become a legend too."
"And you’ve been so low-key about it, with no news from the outside world."
"I only had my breakthrough recently," Qing Lianshan replied. "It seems I’m meeting City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian in person."
"My father is in closed-door cultivation," said the Qing family legend. "I’m here to receive the two of you, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"How could there be a problem," City Lord Tian said. "It is our honor to be received by such a superb talent like you in person."
City Lord Ye, City Lord Tian, and Qing Lianshan’s father were contemporaries. Although now they were only being received by the son, both City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian did not find it inappropriate.
Since the other party was already a legend, there was no longer a difference in seniority between them; they were now peers of the same status.
"These must be your disciples, right?"
Qing Lianshan was also rather surprised. He had not expected that these two legends had recently taken disciples.
As for their reason to bring disciples to experience the Tree King Ruins, he didn’t mind. In fact, many talents who considered themselves gifted would come to challenge the ruins, but the end result was always failure.
Over time, everyone had come to understand the difficulty of obtaining the Tree King Legacy; they no longer held any hope of passing, using the location merely as a trial ground.
If he remembered correctly, City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian also challenged the Tree King Ruins when they were young and had likewise failed. Now they were making a comeback with their disciples, which was quite amusing.
"Since they are your disciples, there’s no need to test their qualifications for entry. They can attempt the challenge whenever they wish," Qing Lianshan said.
"Thank you," City Lord Ye replied, then turned to Lu Ran, "When do you plan to take on the challenge?"
"I’ve been resting and preparing all along the way; my current condition is quite good," Lu Ran replied. "I can do it anytime."
"Then let’s do it now," City Lord Ye said with a smile before turning to the Qing legend. "My disciple wants to have a try now."
"Is that so?"
Qing Lianshan looked toward Lu Ran and Gu Yu, but when his gaze landed on Lu Ran, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You don’t have the aura of a Plantmaster about you."
"You seem more like a Beast Trainer?"
"To the senior," Lu Ran chuckled, "I am indeed a Beast Trainer, not a Plantmaster."
Uh... Qing Lianshan was taken aback for a moment. A Legendary Plantmaster had taken a Beast Trainer as a disciple, well, whatever, it was none of his concern.
"In that case, I won’t be offering you a reception to wash the dust from your journey, you all can go directly to the challenge," the Qing legend said offhandedly. "Hmm, I think I’ll join you and see how it goes."
City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian looked at the Qing legend with strange expressions, then quickly returned to normal.
Lu Ran and Gu Yu might not know,
But they were aware.
This Qing Lianshan had been challenging the Tree King Ruins ever since the first level.
He had been attempting it for dozens of years, without success.
The talent who had an agreement with a High-Level Overlord and still hadn’t succeeded in overcoming the Tree King Ruins was this very person, City Lord Tian had told Lu Ran at the start.
City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian were surprised to see Qing Lianshan break through to legend because once one becomes a legend, they can no longer challenge the ruins.
In their view, after striving for so long, Qing Lianshan should not have given up until achieving success, so... has he given up now?
...
The entrance to the Tree King Ruins was atop the towering ancient tree in Tree King City.
The Leaf Flying Boat came to a stop near a tree trunk, and Lu Ran along with Gu Yu followed their masters’ steps onto the trunk, soon becoming aware of numerous gazes fixated on them.
On this leafy ancient tree... there were mostly Ferocious Plants living, and they were quite strong.
The Qing Legend also alighted on the trunk. At the end of the trunk was an entrance resembling a tree hollow, an interdimensional portal connected to the main stem of the ancient tree, leading to the ruins in Different Space.
"Go right in."
"Youngsters, no need to be nervous, just keep a regular state of mind. After all, getting serious won’t help either, haha," laughed the Qing legend, who perhaps felt stung by his own inability to pass and chuckled when he saw Lu Ran step forward.
"Then Senior Sister Gu, I’ll try my hand first,"
Lu Ran said with a wry smile, looking toward Gu Yu.
"Do as you please..." Gu Yu was speechless. After all, even her master had little confidence in him, despite Lu Ran being so powerful.
Lu Ran glanced at his master and martal uncle, nodded, and then stepped directly into the ruins’ entrance.
For hundreds of years, the Tree King Ruins have been a trial that no one could pass.
At first hearing, it sounded extremely difficult, like an inheritance trial that was virtually impossible to clear.
However, before coming here, Lu Ran had made thorough preparations, including an in-depth investigation about the person known as the Tree King.
He had found Yu Rui and others to inquire from them.
For City Lords Ye and Tian, their understanding of the Tree King and knowledge of the Tree King’s Ruins was definitely limited; it was confined to this era.
But for Yu Rui and others who are future Beast Trainers from the Divine Tree Continent, their understanding of the Tree King’s Ruins must far exceed the present through their continuous archaeological efforts.
And the most important piece of information Lu Ran got from them was that, in the future, someone had passed through the Tree King’s Ruins!!!
That person was also a female Beast Trainer.
Although there was no clear record of how she passed through the Tree King’s Ruins or what legacy she obtained,
the identity of this female Beast Trainer who completed the legacy challenge was clearly recorded in later generations!!
She was the first ninth-level Plantmaster in the history of the Divine Tree Continent, the only Legendary Plantmaster.
The Star-Moon Federation did not find this archaeological result surprising. The Tree King was such an extraordinary figure that only an even more monstrous presence could defeat her at the same level.
And the only one estimated to be more monstrous than the Tree King, a time attribute epic legend, was probably the only Legendary Plantmaster from the Divine Tree Era.
According to Yu Rui and others, the Star-Moon Federation had always been debating whether that Legendary Plantmaster achieved legend status because she had obtained the Tree King’s legacy or
whether she already had the makings of a legend and taking the Tree King’s legacy was just a matter of convenience.
After listening, Lu Ran felt both were possible, after all, opportunity is also a part of a strong individual’s power.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t an actual journey to the past; otherwise, his challenge, if successfully completed, would amount to snatching the future legend’s opportunity.
"Come on."
"This is part of the life opportunity of a legendary figure."
"Let me see if I have the strength to seize this opportunity."
...
Inside the Tree King’s Ruins.
After Teleportation, Lu Ran arrived above a lawn, surrounded by nothing but endless grassland.
He took a deep breath and, as he summoned his Pet Beasts, three phantoms had already begun to coalesce on the opposite side.
These three phantoms consisted of a tree, a dragon, and a person.
The Moon God Tree resembled a Christmas Tree with its lush green branches and leaves, and its trunk was covered with golden shimmering fruit, which swayed gently like little moons in the breeze.
The Moon God Tree looked magnificent, but the Harvest Dragon seemed quite simple, described as dragon-shaped, but it looked more like a green banana with slight dragon characteristics. It lay on the ground, squinting lazily with a juvenile demeanor.
The human-shaped phantom seemed wrapped in time, with its face obscured as it stood behind the two Pet Beasts, launching an attack without any warning.
In an instant, the moon-like fruits swayed, emanating a halo of light, while the Harvest Dragon opened its eyes wide, and fearsome Dragon Might burst from its body,
Under the moonlight, its size explosively increased, stretching dozens of yards in an instant, with its body covered in green Dragon Scales that glittered with golden light.
"Roar!!!" Under the time attribute power boost, the Harvest Dragon immediately transformed, its eyes shining brightly and its body appearing sleek and powerful, with sturdy limbs, enormous leaf wings, and whiskers fluttering like grass sprouts, making it look full of strength, much like an Azure Dragon of the grass.
Rumbling thunder.
The astonishing Dragon Might, stronger than the Dragon King intimidation of the King of Sudden Death, caused the earth and skies to crack open. The High-level Overlord’s power was undeniable; had it been any ordinary trialist without an Overlord Beast, they probably wouldn’t have survived this round of intimidation.
"Roar!!!" The Harvest Dragon roared across the sky, its Dragon Might crushing toward the enemy.
But the next moment, one of the three Pet Beasts summoned by Lu Ran also suddenly began to manifest its presence.
"Awooooo!!!!"
"It says, is that all there is?" Lu Ran smiled, and with a snap of his fingers, Mr. Husky, carrying the Deer Horn of God and already unleashing his Field Expansion, enveloped the Moon God Tree, the Harvest Dragon, and the Tree King’s Illusion within the vast Infinite Sword Realm.
Within the field, Mr. Husky, holding the Divine Deer Sword, tail wrapping the Sword Grass, displayed the might of a Semi-Legend, sweeping with Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent in an instant, shredding the High-Level Overlord level Dragon Might of Harvest Dragon to pieces.
Boom!!!
The terrifying Sword Intent Intimidation swept across, causing the Moon God Tree and the Tree King’s Illusion to simultaneously take a step back, with the Harvest Dragon in the sky going rigid.
"Roar-------" Within the field, the King of Sudden Death glared about, wondering what old dragon dared to show off its might before Mr. Husky. Could it stop exercising Mr. Husky’s Dragon-Slaying Sword Intent for once?
"Caw caw caw, I can finally join the battle! Stock up, stock up!"
Naturally, the most excited one was the Dark Crow. It had not been able to participate in the previous match, which had frustrated it, but now it felt like it could finally demonstrate its full capabilities.
In the empty Sword Field.
Lu Ran and the Tree King’s Illusion faced each other.
By the side of the Tree King, the Moon God Tree swayed, and above, the Harvest Dragon wore a solemn expression.
Lu Ran stood upon the King of Sudden Death’s shoulder, beside him was the Dark Crow, now in Soul Reinforcement state, its dozens of Eye of the Evil God opened, and in front, the colossal Mr. Husky gripped the Deer Horn of God turned gigantic sword, their momentum matching that of the Tree King’s without any deficiency.
"Caw!! This ruin has been around for hundreds of years, and the phantoms are still so intact, there ought to be some BUG by now! You three, you’re not just going to vanish all of a sudden, are you?"
As the two sides confronted each other, accompanied by a word from the Dark Crow, the battle truly commenced!
