946 Chapter 535: Devouring the Divine Body – The Path to Advancement in the Rotten Swamp [3/3]
To voluntarily speak and pa.s.sively accept arrangements were two different concepts, although the other party had been doing it all along.
He turned his head and looked at the spatial rift thoughtfully. The death of the Greed Lord, did this G.o.d see it?
“If that’s the case, that’s for the best.”
He said meaningfully.
“Your Excellency Tai Long, the future is still far. I hope the friendship between you and Twilight City continues.”
The G.o.d of deception looked at him deeply.
“Lord Richard, I’m sure it will.”
Richard smiled and no longer delved. He immediately changed the discussion about business.
“The G.o.d’s ancient tree can bear fruits that can increase one’s life potential. I’ll let the other party station themselves in the rotten swamp and use the fruits to lure the troops of the other planes to kill each other.”
He spoke and patted the Greed Lion as it sat.
“Barbosa has the power to magnify the greed in the hearts of intelligent beings.
“I will leave it here to a.s.sist the abomination tree.
“I’ll leave these two to you since Your Excellency wants to help me manage the rotten swamp.”
He said meaningfully.
“The divine body of the Greed Lord is in my hands. I plan to use it to feed the G.o.d’s ancient tree afterward.”
Tai Long chuckled.
“Lord Richard, there’s no need to probe. Since I’ve decided to help you, I won’t go back on my word.
“Besides, we have a contract.”
Those words didn’t embarra.s.s Richard. He chuckled afterward.
“That would be the best.”
Richard commanded the Greed Lion to pa.s.s through the spatial rift on the other side and arrive at the Eternal Land.
Then, he left through the spatial gate of the Eternal Land and appeared in the land of quicksand.
The abomination tree figure appeared oppressive. It swayed in the vast yellow sand.
Richard first took the Greed Lion back to Twilight City and fixed its soul in the Hero’s Altar.
Then, he placed it back into the land of quicksand.
He did not waste any time and simply described the plan of sending the abomination tree to the rotten swamp and luring the enemies of the Naga Plane with fruits that could increase one’s life potential.
The G.o.d’s ancient tree responded in a m.u.f.fled voice.
No one from the G.o.d’s ancient tree to the other subordinates had disobeyed Richard’s arrangements.
The monumental divine body of the abomination tree rose from the ground. The tangled roots squirmed like the tentacles of an octopus. They exploded into dust that filled the sky.
The entire land of quicksand shook.
The scene still amazed Richard even though he had seen similar movements countless times.
An exaggerated body size figure would give people a ma.s.sive sense of oppression no matter what kind of life form it was.
The abomination dragged large patches of roots. It pa.s.sed through the Eternal Land and stepped into the Naga Plane.
Tai Long subtly looked at the towering G.o.d’s ancient tree.
He was no longer familiar with his power after interactions with Richard.
However, one could still describe Tai Long as extraordinary if one were to jump out and look at it from a bystander’s perspective.
Several groups of heroes with high potential below transcendence were still there, not to mention the numerous transcendents.
The forces in their hands had even touched other planes and even had ancient G.o.ds as their trump cards.
The Grace Mainland Overlord had only been in the Mortal Plane for less than a year!
A genuine G.o.d with a divine t.i.tle still felt a vast impact, acc.u.mulating such an immense fortune in half a year, granting he was a G.o.d.
Could he have acc.u.mulated all this by starting from scratch if it were him?
Every time he thought of this question, Tai Long would fall silent.
He had no face to speak before Richard when it came to disputes.
The Greed Lord was a G.o.d. But Richard had slayed him just like that. What was he to him?
Wasn’t an ability to summon an ancient G.o.d terrifying, although Richard wouldn’t do it!
Otherwise, why didn’t the ancient G.o.ds initiate to protect him? Or protect others?
Tai Long bent his back a little after he pondered.
Richard did not know what Tai Long spun in his mind. He brought the G.o.d’s ancient tree straight to the center of the rotten swamp.
No outsiders had stepped foot in this area. Tai Long sealed it.
Richard buried the rotten, crimson blood ball in the blood mud of the swamp’s core.
“Treebeard, stop here!”
“Yes, Lord.”
The abomination tree immediately stopped when he heard the order. In the next moment, the roots of the giant twisted human-faced tree coiled and drilled into the depths of the swamp.
‘Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Bubbles popped up one after another. The flesh and blood that had turned into mud incessantly rolled.
The abomination’s figure gradually descended. A moment later, it took root steadily.
The dried branches looked like the hands of a dried-up corpse. Thin blood-red lines were faintly visible in the cracks of the bark.
The ferocious and terrifying face on the trunk filled the vast tree with a terrifying aura.
The G.o.d’s ancient tree fit for a b.l.o.o.d.y and dark place like the rotten swamp.
Richard had an inexplicable feeling that this was where the other party should be if he trampled on the G.o.d Sin Ancient Tree in the desert.
A robe-like bloated body appeared in the void.
The eyes of the head beside him widened, and one could see the shock and disbelief in it.
The surrounding energy immediately became violent because of the appearance of the corpse.
s.p.a.ce fluctuated.
The G.o.d’s ancient tree’s distorted face stared straight at the sky. A strong desire surged in its heart.
Its intuition told it that as long as it devoured the other party, it would obtain huge benefits.
“Lord…”
Richard waved his hand.
The corpse of the Greed Lord landed directly before Treebeard.
“This is the corpse of an abyssal G.o.d, the food I gave you.
“Our enemies are eyeing us covetously. I need you to become stronger…”
The G.o.d’s ancient tree revealed a great joy.
The low, m.u.f.fled voice carried a rare excitement.
“Lord, Treebeard will not disappoint you!”
‘Puchi!’
A root surged out of the swamp and wrapped around the body of the Greed Lord. It pulled into the swamp.
A moment later, the aura of the G.o.d Sin Ancient Tree rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, more than ten tiny golden fruits grew on the withered branches.
A unique aura immediately floated in the air.
It was a golden fruit!
Treebeard’s power of the soul condensed a fruit. It can increase one’s life potential.
It has seduced any life form.
The golden fruit gradually ripened. The tempting aura became increasingly alluring.
Tai Long saw this, and dim energy flushed into his body.
The alluring aura surged in all directions.
A troop still fought in the blood mist and turned spirited. It subconsciously looked in a direction. It was like one injected chicken blood into the bodies. Their spirits highly rose.
