Chapter 366 The Ancient Tree's Self-Imposed Prison

The golden stone, carrying the power of a raging torrent, descended from the sky like a mudslide. Combined with the impact of the holy torrent, it created a visually stunning spectacle.

Everyone knew that within this spectacular scene lay a terrifying power capable of killing.

Within this mountain peak, a torrent flows down, and there are several black dots. If you look closely, they are the best of the four major clans. One of the black dots is climbing upwards at an extremely fast speed.

These are the four major clans that participated in the Holy Path. Under the impact of this torrent, they all used their own methods.

Because they knew that if they failed, they would face utter ruin.

Long Shang's face was also filled with some strangeness. Ye Ru was originally only at the bottom, but now he was able to compete with him and even seemed to be surpassing him.

Although he and Ye Ru didn't have any deep-seated hatred, he was still one of the best in the dragon race and had the pride of a dragon prince.

"Brother Long, I'm about to surpass you!"

A hearty laugh came from behind him, causing a smile to appear on Long Shang's lips:

"Brother Ye, you are truly a hidden talent. Let's have a competition and see who comes out on top."

"it is good."

The two raced side by side, leaving the rest of the group far behind.

At the last moment, they finally broke through the mountain peak and reached the Holy Road.

"I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous. I wonder how they are doing. Those demons, the obstacles they created for me, I'm going to take them back."

Looking at the crowd below, who were also very close, Ye Ru narrowed his eyes and said.

If he hadn't possessed some talent, he would probably be a corpse by now, or perhaps not even a corpse would remain.

shhhhh!

A few minutes later, the demonic path and the others rushed towards this place and stood opposite Ye Ru, their eyes somewhat gloomy.

After all, the other party had seen what he had done, and given their personality, they would definitely not let him off the hook.

As Mo Dao and the others entered, Guan Hai, Han Fengxian, Li Xunfeng, and the others also reached the mountaintop. However, their expressions were rather grim, clearly indicating that they had paid a considerable price to reach this peak.

Glancing at the demonic path, Ye Ru turned around and looked into the distance. There, a massive ancient tree stood atop the mountain, its pure holy power radiating outwards.

"The Sacred Tree does indeed look ancient."

Ye Ru gazed at the ancient tree, a look of surprise appearing on his face, before he murmured softly.

They had never seen this sacred ancient tree before. Although they had only encountered it in ancient books, they did not have a deep impression of it.

Even though Ye Ru possessed the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, he only found the Sacred Ancient Tree at the very end.

"This Sacred Ancient Tree is indeed very strange. Even I feel a sense of oppression from the Sacred power within it. Although it is harmless to your human race, it has a fatal effect on the other three races."

Long Shang transformed into human form, donned a cloak, and stared at the Sacred Ancient Tree with his peculiar eyes, speaking slowly.

Although their Dragon Palace possessed numerous treasures, this strange ancient tree was something they had never seen before.

"Be careful. The previous difficulties are not the worst. I heard that this ancient tree has its own consciousness and can even summon a half-saint."

Guan Hai also spoke solemnly, which made everyone present more vigilant, and their internal energy or demonic energy quietly began to circulate.

"This sacred ancient tree is currently ownerless, so as long as you can subdue it, you can obtain the sacred leaves inside, but that depends on whether you have the ability."

At this moment, the young scholar gradually revealed himself, looking at the ancient sacred tree that emitted a faint golden light, and said with a smile.

"what?"

These words startled Ye Ru; this Sacred Ancient Tree actually possessed sentience.

"So, this is the final step. As for whether you can obtain the Sacred Leaf, that depends on your individual abilities. That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you."

After the young scholar finished speaking, he burst into laughter and disappeared again.

"Let's go take a look ahead first."

Guan Hai said slowly, “In this place, no one has made the first move. After all, there are many sacred leaves here, so the primary task is to pick the sacred leaves.”

"Ah."

The group approached the sacred ancient tree with caution. Although they were eager for the sacred leaves, they moved quite slowly under the influence of the dangerous aura.

After a few minutes, the group arrived at the ancient sacred tree, whose massive branches stretched out in all directions, casting a shadow over the area.

Wow!

At that moment, the light within the sacred ancient tree suddenly trembled, and countless branches rapidly extended and retracted, then intertwined together.

"Oh no! This Sacred Ancient Tree senses the danger and is preparing to attack!"

When Guan Hai saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted and quickly retreated backward.

But by then it was too late; the branches formed a sharp thorn that pierced the ground and drew a circle on the ground.

"Is this a self-imposed prison?"

Ye Ru's expression changed upon seeing the anthropomorphic behavior of the Sacred Ancient Tree.

As a circle appeared on the ground, a cage made of wood slowly rose from the ground, trapping everyone inside.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru suppressed his shock, while the others' expressions also turned quite grim.

They knew how powerful the Sacred Ancient Tree was; it seemed the other party wanted them all to stay here.

"What do we do now? This Sacred Ancient Tree seems to be trapping us."

Li Xunfeng looked somewhat flustered. Although he was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, he had already exhausted most of his literary treasures under the torrent of the Holy Path.

But the other side has an inexhaustible supply of holy power to support them. If they wanted to trap and kill them, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?

"Let's join forces. I can sense the power of this Sacred Tree. If we don't join forces, I'm afraid none of us will be able to get out."

Ye Ru turned his head and spoke to Long Shang and the others.

"Well, the only option now is to join forces. Only by working together to break this cage can we get out and obtain the Sacred Leaf."

Long Shang and the others nodded, while the demon race and the monster race gritted their teeth after a moment of contemplation.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Ru slowly exhaled, his expression becoming somewhat serious:

"Since everyone agrees, then..."

As he finished speaking, his inner talent suddenly erupted:

"Do it!"
