Chapter 2319: Chapter 2339: Is this a... Willow Tree?_1

"Withered Wood."

Liuyun explained with a smile, "I am a wood spirit body, belonging to the wood element of the Five Elements, so all of my divine powers are of the wood attribute. Withered Wood is one of my divine powers. Its power is, well, average, but it’s very convenient and handy to use, so I use it quite often."

He paused, then added, "The Withered Wood divine power is particularly effective when there’s a big gap in strength, but if the strengths are similar, its effect diminishes significantly."

Lin Chen suddenly understood; fundamentally, this Withered Wood divine power and his own Sun Real Fire should be pretty similar.

I look once, and the Sun Real Fire burns my target; Liuyun looks once, and the opponent’s body fully transforms into wood; the greater the difference in strength, the more pronounced is the effect!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The majestic bell sounds echoed through the entire Huan Yue Sect, numerous terrifying auras rising to the sky, so much so that even Lin Chen, who was in his cave mansion, felt shockingly alarmed.

"Let’s go and see just how big of an array it is."

Liuyun walked towards the outside of the cave mansion, its prohibitions melting away swiftly like ice and snow under the blazing sun.

The three walked out of the cave mansion to find the air in front already filled with people standing densely packed, each emanating murderous intent and powerful auras, with many more Huan Yue Sect disciples standing further away, watching from a distance.

Lin Yuanyi stood at the center of the group, quietly reporting the situation to those around him.

At the very front of the crowd stood Lin Hu Shan, the Sect Master of Huan Yue Sect, his voice booming like thunder through the Nine Heavens, "Fellow cultivator, since you’ve come to my Huan Yue Sect to cause trouble, surely you should report your name, right?"

Liuyun smiled slightly, "Saying so much is meaningless. Let’s fight first, then we can talk."

Lin Hu Shan frowned, the other party’s aggressiveness giving him a clear sense of pressure.

From what Lin Yuanyi had told him, he knew that Liuyun had turned Old Zhao into a tree person with just a glance, indicating that Liuyun’s strength was at least that of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal, or even stronger.

He originally wanted to probe the other party’s background before making a decision, but the other party was not giving him the opportunity.

Lin Hu Shan said angrily, "It’s better to resolve enmity rather than settle it. I’m kindly asking you, yet you are so arrogant, not even giving a reason, do you think my Huan Yue Sect is easy to bully?"

Liuyun nodded, "When Lin Yuanyi had someone kill us to feed to the Demonic Beasts, he never even asked for my name. When it comes to killing, why the need for a name? How come when it’s my turn, reasons and identities become necessary?"

As soon as Liuyun made this statement, the entire Huan Yue Sect was in an uproar, their attention all shifting to Lin Yuanyi.

Beads of sweat on Lin Yuanyi’s forehead became more evident as he tried to explain himself, "It was you who skulked around and refused to talk much, how can you blame me for not asking?"

Liuyun chuckled but didn’t respond to Lin Yuanyi, instead, his gaze fell on Lin Hu Shan, "You’re the Sect Master, right? Who will come first? Or perhaps, you’d like to come at me all at once?"

Upon hearing this, anger filled everyone in the Huan Yue Sect.

All at once?

Was he looking down on Huan Yue Sect that much?

Lin Hu Shan’s face became stern, and without responding, he turned to look at the crowd beside him.

Huan Yue Sect’s Elder Taishang, Cui He, stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice, "Your Excellency has come alone, and if my Huan Yue Sect gangs up on you, wouldn’t it tarnish our reputation? I, Cui He, am the Elder Taishang of Huan Yue Sect, please enlighten me!"

Liuyun smiled faintly, without speaking, and simply stretched out his hand, giving a ’please’ gesture.

Lin Hu Shan raised his hand and waved towards the back, "Activate the Mountain Protection Array."

Everyone retreated, leaving space for Liuyun and Cui He. Meanwhile, the sect’s large array had also been activated to prevent their battle from being so fierce as to destroy the sect’s facilities.

Cui He took a step and vanished into midair, as if he had turned invisible.

From afar, Lin Chen watched this scene, inwardly surprised, Is this space magic?

Invisibility?

Lin Chen extended his senses, but he couldn’t detect any trace of Cui He.

Indeed impressive!

With no one to be found, how could a battle be fought?

How would Liuyun cope?

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Liuyun, only to find that Liuyun remained calm and unfazed, showing no sign of surprise.

He just spread his hands, and a seed the size of a walnut flew out, hovering above Liuyun’s head.

Countless transparent filaments extended from the seed, reaching towards the center of his eyebrows. Simultaneously, the seed began to sprout, branch out, and grow.

The seed’s growth was terrifyingly fast; in the blink of an eye, it had become a sky-reaching giant tree, numerous branches hanging from the top of the tree, swaying in the wind.

Lin Chen blinked in amazement.

Was this a... willow tree?

A towering willow tree that reached the Sky Dome!

The countless branches of the willow tree, laden with rich spiritual Qi, were emerald green and dripping wet.

While Lin Chen marvelled at the giant tree that had appeared out of nowhere, a black space crack appeared behind Liuyun like lightning, Silent and Traceless as it slashed towards him.

Liuyun did not move, as if he hadn’t noticed at all. But the willow branches behind him suddenly stirred, swinging as if they were whips lashing at the dark crack.

The black crack struck the emerald branches, destroying them instantly. However, more branches blocked its path.

After cutting through seven or eight hanging willow branches, the crack gradually shrank and eventually completely disappeared into the void.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in shock.

Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated?

That void slash felt like it could split the sky, yet it only cut through seven or eight willow branches?

How many branches did this sky-reaching willow tree have? More than a
