Chapter 1226: The Ancient Tree Levels Up

He hadn’t even had time to celebrate after instantly killing Ghost Servant.

He hadn’t even checked what good loot had dropped.

The Essence Devouring Insect had arrived, radiating killing intent.

It was like the fisherman idiom; no matter who won between him and Ghost Servant, it intended to devour the survivor.

Its intelligence was truly terrifyingly high.

One more thing: While Luo Tian was fighting Ghost Servant, this guy was frantically devouring the Hai family disciples on the city wall. Most of the Hai family disciples on the city wall had been eaten, with not many left. One must know that these were all elites among the younger generation of the Hai family, and many were even assassins on the Poseidon ranking list. Their yuan energy was pure, and their talents were at least top-grade, containing immensely powerful energy.

The Essence Devouring Insect had directly reached rank nine, becoming a super terrifying existence!

At this moment, with its sudden attack, Luo Tian had no place of retreat.

It’s worth mentioning that the Ancient Tree in Luo Tian’s mind had mysteriously absorbed Ghost Servant’s soul. This time, a small branch popped out, growing visibly to half a meter tall in an instant. Its branches and leaves also quickly increased.

Illusion Fairy was clearly shocked. “What amazing speed! For an ordinary person to cultivate an Ancient Tree to this extent, it would take at least ten years, but you’ve done it in just over a month. It seems the Ancient Tree will definitely be cultivated into a towering tree by you.”

The sudden growth of the Ancient Tree shocked Illusion Fairy and also startled Luo Tian.

He clearly felt a powerful force surging like crazy in his mind. This force instantly made him feel like a giant with an endless supply of strength coursing throughout his body.

Immediately after, Luo Tian asked, “Illusion Fairy, I can feel that the Ancient Tree is filled with immense power. Can I use it now?”

Illusion Fairy giggled, “Of course. It completely belongs to you now. You can use all the power it contains, but it’s still a small ancient tree, so the power released won’t be too strong.”

Luo Tian muttered, “It won’t be too strong?”

“This…”

What was the standard for “not too strong”?

Illusion Fairy didn’t explain further, and Luo Tian didn’t ask.

However, Luo Tian still wanted to try. Last time, a tiny sprout erupted with unimaginable power for him. Now it had become a half-human-tall sapling, and Luo Tian had a feeling its power would definitely be heaven-defying!

The Essence Devouring Insect let out a sinister laugh.

A rank nine demonic beast could use human language!

The Essence Devouring Insect laughed wildly, “You truly are unusual; you can even kill a Holy Spirit realm expert. That means you possess an incredibly powerful energy. If I devour you, perhaps I can reach the Great Perfection realm and transform into a human.”

“Luo Tian, even though I don’t want to kill you… For my Great Perfection realm, you’ll just have to die, hahaha…”

The Essence Devouring Insect was extremely arrogant.

When Luo Tian killed Zhu Dacheng, it noticed God Flame. The recent killing of Ghost Servant was the second time it had seen this move. Others might not find God Flame particularly powerful, but it knew clearly because it could feel the super-strong power contained within the fireball.

It was precisely that power that made it wary.

Now that God Flame had been used, it had nothing to fear.

Of course, the Essence Devouring Insect didn’t know that Luo Tian had just broken through to the Great Diffusion realm, and all his skill cooldowns were gone, which included God Flame. ꞦÀ𐌽Օ฿Ë𐌔

But the previous instant kill was triggered with the help of a Shadow Gem.

Luo Tian now only had two Shadow Gems left. If he used another, he would have fewer for forging a dark weapon. He couldn’t go to the Abyss Academy to find Shadow ores in the near term; therefore, every single Shadow Gem was incredibly precious to him.

He didn’t plan on using God Flame again.

“What should we do?”

“What can we do? This guy has already soared to becoming a rank nine demonic beast, and can even speak human language.” Liu Zhan became worried. Especially after seeing its incredibly ugly appearance, and then remembering the prayers he made to the heavens just now.

His heart sank as he muttered, “Damn it, heavens, you wouldn’t fulfill it so quickly, would you? I wanted the ugliest woman, but that’s a demonic beast and not a woman…”

At this moment, Liu Zhan remembered what the Essence Devouring Insect had said earlier. He then looked sideways at Luo Tian, feeling a wave of bitterness. “If the Essence Devouring Insect devours Luo Tian and evolves again, it would reach the great perfection realm and achieve a human form. Once it becomes human, it would most likely become an ugly woman… Then, it will come true!”

“Damn it!”

“I don’t want that to happen!”

Liu Zhan thought of himself being violated by the Essence Devouring Insect and felt a chill, before bending over to vomit wildly. He grabbed Luo Tian’s arm and didn’t let go, saying, “Brother, my dear biological brother! Boss! Boss! Please use that move again to instantly kill it! You absolutely can’t let it live! For my happiness, you must kill it!”

Luo Tian looked at Liu Zhan, somewhat confused as to why he suddenly started behaving like this.

The Essence Devouring Insect naturally had to be killed!

Last time he killed the Earth Dragon King, he obtained a rank eight blood spirit. He was still worried it wasn’t enough.

Unexpectedly, the Essence Devouring Insect had actually evolved into a rank nine demonic beast.

In that case…

Luo Tian’s mouth curved into a slight smile as he looked at the enormous Essence Devouring Insect before saying, “Ugly, I’m really happy that you were able to break through. I was worried you wouldn’t. I feel relieved seeing you evolve into a rank nine demonic beast.”

The Essence Devouring Insect was momentarily stunned.

It somewhat didn’t understand the meaning behind Luo Tian’s words, but it didn’t care at all. Luo Tian had most likely used up all the skills he could. Now, to it, Luo Tian was just a grasshopper under its foot, which could be crushed into paste with one stomp.

The Essence Devouring Insect laughed like crazy, “Speaking of which, I should really be thanking you. You have accelerated my evolution by several decades, hahaha…”

As it spoke, its tentacles flew out and snared up several more martial artists from the city wall before swallowing them. Its body grew another fraction, becoming even more powerful.

Half of First City’s wall had been destroyed by the Essence Devouring Insect. The First City was now a mess.

The martial artists in the city scattered everywhere, fleeing frantically.

A rank nine demonic beast was truly too powerful; even if Ghost Servant was still alive, he probably wouldn’t be its match.

A rank nine demonic beast corresponded with a human’s Holy Spirit realm powerhouse.

But even if they were in the same realm, humans were completely no match for demonic beasts because a demonic beast’s physical defense usually reached an astonishing level.

“Ya Ya, come back quickly!”

“Don’t go over there! The Essence Devouring Insect might eat you!” Huang Tianyu shouted loudly.

Huangfu Ya acted as if she hadn’t heard him.

Looking at Luo Tian outside the city, she pouted slightly before saying, “Who cares about the  Essence Devouring Insect? If he’s not afraid, why should I be afraid?”

“This young lady isn’t going to back down!”

“What he can do, I can do too!”

Huangfu Ya stood on the city wall, drew out her spirit sword, and pointed it at the Essence Devouring Insect. She then shouted, “Hey! This young lady is here now! What’s so great about you when you are bullying a man?!”
