Chapter 272 The Heart Of The World Tree! The Power Of Destruction!
Chapter 272 The Heart Of The World Tree! The Power Of Destruction!
On the entire battlefield of Kale Castle, the Temple Knights under the command of Little Saintess bore at least 90% of the pressure.
If it weren't for the support of the Temple Knights, according to the strength of the Tanasi Empire, the front line would have collapsed long ago.
After the Temple Knights withdrew from the battlefield according to Little Saintess's orders, the defense line immediately showed signs of collapse.
Countless fallen ones, like giant waves, surged towards the fragile Imperial army formation.
High-level fallen ones and demon bosses floating in the air or hiding among the crowd also began to make their moves.
Seeing this, the Imperial commander quickly brought the elite and skilled teams that were stationed in the rear to the front lines.
At this moment, the Imperial commander didn't have time to think about why the Temple Knights had retreated.
After all, they were just the assisted party, and the Knights were not under his command.
In the ever-changing battlefield, anything could happen.
For the soldiers on the front lines, the retreat of the Temple Knights undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to their morale.
Declining fighting spirit meant increased casualties and decreased defensive strength.
Kale Castle's city walls.
A golden-armored knight rode over.
Little Saintess held Chen Yu's neck with one hand and waved at the golden-armored knight with the other.
"Your Highness, who is this?" The golden-armored knight dismounted and looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled gaze.
Little Saintess blinked at him and shook her index finger.
The golden-armored knight frowned but didn't continue to ask. He then said, "Retreating at this time, without any other strategy, will easily lead to the collapse of the defense line."
"Your Highness, may I ask how to proceed next?"
"Lord Dalia." Little Saintess smiled slightly. "Next, we don't need to do anything, just watch."
"Dalia?" Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the golden-armored knight. "Long time no see, how have you been lately?"
It seemed that this golden-armored knight had once saved his life.
"Uh, I am grateful for your concern, Your Excellency." Dalia nodded respectfully to Chen Yu.
Although he couldn't remember who Chen Yu was, he knew that this person was at least not an enemy.
"Has everyone retreated?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, there is no problem anymore." Little Saintess nodded.
"Then, what's next..."
Chen Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened.
An invisible ripple spread from in front of him.
The space touched by the ripple seemed like a thin layer of ice thrown into countless red-hot iron balls, instantly shattering into pieces.
Then, a huge branch pierced through the dark void and descended into this world.
The branch rapidly spread in space, like an arm extending from the void.
One meter, ten meters, a hundred meters, a kilometer...
Wherever the branch passed, time became chaotic, space shattered, and all elements were constantly disrupted and recombined.
No matter if they were fallen ones, Imperial troops, or demons, no existence could withstand even a moment in this chaotic environment.
All matter, including the human body, quickly disintegrated into the tiniest particles.
The sky darkened.
Even the clouds floating in the sky poured down and merged with everything in the world.
"What, what is this?!!"
On the Kale Castle city walls.
Adolf, the frontline commander of the Empire, was horrified.
In just a few breaths, the frontline army had lost no less than two hundred thousand people.
They were merely affected by that terrifying branch and silently ended their lives without any pain.
Of course, the fallen ones suffered even greater losses.
The density and distribution range of the fallen ones were much larger than that of the Imperial defense line.
The branch extended for several kilometers, turning at least millions of fallen ones into ashes.
"Gods! This must be the work of gods! This is the power of miracles!"
Beside Adolf, several subordinates sat paralyzed on the ground.
In the city of Kele, countless residents witnessed this magnificent and grand spectacle, kneeling down and praying devoutly.
"Hoo--"
In Chen Yu's arms, the little Saintess gasped for breath, trembling as she extended a small hand.
"So beautiful!"
"Too beautiful!"
"So perfect!"
"It's like the oppressive force of countless worlds falling!"
"This is a deity! This is a true deity!"
"A god who can do anything!"
The golden-armored knight beside them was also shaken.
Apart from being shocked by the power of the World Tree's heart, they were also shocked by the familiarity of this scene.
Over thirty years ago, it was the same situation, surrounded by countless demons.
It was also a man holding the Saintess.
Casually, he summoned a deity-like figure, an existence that could destroy the world with a wave of his hand!
But that man from back then, he was very familiar.
They even conspired together to put on a grand performance.
And today, this person appeared before him in an entirely unrelated identity.
"Hush--"
Just as Dalia's mind was in turmoil, he suddenly heard the voice of the little Saintess.
The little Saintess raised her index finger and placed it in front of her lips, making a gesture for silence.
"Lord Dalia, this matter must be kept secret~"
"You can't tell anyone, especially Lord Ascetic!"
Looking at the undisguised coldness in the eyes of the little Saintess, Dalia's heart skipped a beat.
He could be certain that the person before him was definitely not the "Ascetic Heratugus" he was familiar with.
Judging from the attitude of the little Saintess, it was obvious that she was close to this person.
"What did Heratugus do back then?" Dalia couldn't help but ponder.
"How much does the Saintess know about this person?"
"The Saintess must have learned about this person from the intelligence before rushing over."
"What is the relationship between this person and the Saintess?"
"Ascetic, the Saintess... What are they planning?"
"Damn, these scheming people have such dirty hearts!"
"Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke, hide, hide!"
While Dalia's CPU was burning, Chen Yu was burning with vitality energy.
His own vitality attribute was 4800 points, so the maximum vitality energy that each heart realm could store was 48,000 points.
Thanks to the abnormal charging ability of the bloodthirsty spirit and the generous disintegration of many demons and fallen ones,
There were nearly four hundred hearts in his heart realm that were full of vitality.
As for the hearts filled with Abyss magic power, it reached nearly thirty thousand.
This was the result of killing a large number of high-quality Abyss demons and the explosive increase in his own Abyss magic power attribute.
Otherwise, it might have filled all one hundred thousand hearts.
After Rank Two, the power displayed by the World Tree's heart realm was obviously much stronger than Rank One.
Along with that came a significant increase in consumption.
The World Tree's heart realm descended a branch about five kilometers long, consuming about twenty thousand vitality points per second.
Fortunately, the inventory was abundant, otherwise it would have been drained of all vitality energy in less than a second.
At this moment, Chen Yu discovered that a tiny divine power was attempting to probe the World Tree's heart realm!
