Chapter 2764

With his vitality flowing away, Zi Chen had no choice but to devour the other party.

Hearing Zi Chen's words, a disdainful laugh came from the big tree.

The laugh came through his will.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged and calmed his heart.

He tried to stabilize his vitality and not let it flow away.

The effect was not obvious, or it was useless.

Zi Chen's vitality was still flowing away, and it was getting faster and faster. The big tree in front of him began to grow after absorbing his vitality. The original green light was now flashing with golden light.

Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed indifferent to the loss of vitality. Because he had the world, his vitality was extremely strong. Even if he let the other party devour him, he would not die in a day or two.

At this time, he was perceiving the world, trying to mobilize the rules of devouring in the world. Once he mobilized the power of the rules, he would be able to devour the other party.

Zi Chen's heart slowly calmed down. His whole person seemed to have entered a meditative state. He was neither happy nor sad, like an ancient well without ripples.

More vitality was absorbed by the branches and injected into the big tree's body.

At this time, the big tree had grown nearly twice its original size. From time to time, it would laugh excitedly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zi Chen's body and mind passed through the seal of this space. He was completely connected to his own world and could mobilize the world's rules at will.

The next moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the big tree in front of him. He said coldly, "Now, it's my turn to devour you."

The big tree's response was a disdainful sneer.

The light on Zi Chen's body that was gradually dimming burst out again. The golden light shone, and the power of the rules appeared on the surface of his body.

These rules were the rules of devouring in his world.

These rules of devouring extended toward the branches. The vitality that was constantly being sucked away slowly slowed down after these rules of devouring arrived. Then, it began to be devoured instead.

The ancient tree let out an angry scream and strengthened its devouring power.

Zi Chen's expression did not change. His body surged with more and more power of the rules. Behind him was a complete and huge world. How could a mere ancient tree fight against it?

More vitality began to enter Zi Chen's body through the branches.

…

This was a battle between devouring and counter-devouring. It was also a tug of war.

However, after Zi Chen started his counterattack, there was no longer any suspense in this battle.

In the end, the tree in front of him was unable to mobilize the will of the forest. Being alone, it was no match for Zi Chen.

During the devouring process, the giant tree's previously expanding body began to shrink once again. The golden energy that belonged to Zi Chen had returned.

At the same time, the tree's own life force was also devoured by Zi Chen.

The tree transmitted its anger through its branches and leaves. Soon, the anger turned into fear, and finally, despair.

The green energy entered Zi Chen's body. This was the purest form of life force, and it was the life force unique to the ancient tree.

Green light flickered on Zi Chen's body, but this green light was quickly assimilated by the golden light.

The tree ahead grew smaller and smaller, and its voice grew more and more desperate.

…

…

In the outside world, Zi Chen's body paused. The swaying ancient tree also stopped attacking. The Blade Domain still existed. The other ancient trees in the outside world repeatedly attacked, but they were unable to break through this domain.

Shadowless stood beside Zi Chen and watched him quietly.

Golden light flickered on Zi Chen's body, and his life force suddenly began to fade.

Shadowless knew that this should be a confrontation of some kind of divine ability. At this moment, he could only wait. He had no other choice.

Zi Chen's life force was rapidly fading. Even the Blade Domain around him became unstable.

In front of Zi Chen, the ancient tree's aura became stronger and stronger. Its entire body glowed, and a surge of life force emerged from its trunk.

The difficulty of this ancient tree exceeded Shadowless's expectations. At this moment, he was a little worried about Zi Chen.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Zi Chen's body. Under this aura, his life force stopped fading.

Not only did it stop fading, but Zi Chen's life force also surged. The surging life force contained in the ancient tree in front of him also began to fade.

Clearly, this was Zi Chen beginning to devour the tree. A smile finally appeared on Shadowless's face.

Time passed. When the ancient tree let out a mournful cry, the silence of the Blade Domain was finally broken.

At this moment, the ancient tree's aura was already very weak. On the other hand, the life force around Zi Chen's body became very strong. It even felt like it was expanding.

However, this situation disappeared when Zi Chen opened his eyes. The surging life force passed through Zi Chen's body and entered his world.

Compared to his world, the life force of the ancient tree in front of him was nothing.

Seeing Zi Chen open his eyes, Shadowless asked aloud, "How is it?"

"It feels great."

Zi Chen opened his eyes. Looking at the ancient tree in front of him, whose life force was almost extinct, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the previous battle, he clearly did not think that this was just an ancient tree.

The opponent was more difficult to deal with than a Level Five Divine General.

He raised his sword and slashed down. The sword light went straight ahead and cut the ancient tree in half.

The ancient tree let out a mournful cry and fell to the sides. When the branches and leaves came into contact with the Blade Domain's barrier, they all exploded.

When the ancient tree let out a mournful cry, the other ancient trees around it stopped attacking and turned back. Silence returned.

At this moment, Shadowless cried out in surprise, "What is that?"

Zi Chen raised his head and looked in front of him. He saw a green ball of light appear in the cut ancient tree. The ball of light was like a liquid, twisting and changing in midair.

Zi Chen went forward and held it in his hand. He could feel that the ball of light was not ordinary.

"It should be an energy body similar to the Tree Heart."

Zi Chen said in a low voice. He had encountered a similar situation before, but he did not know what this Tree Heart could do.

"This place is still safe. You can refine it first."

Shadowless swept his gaze around. All he could see were ancient trees, but they were no longer attacking.

Zi Chen nodded. Since this place was filled with ancient trees, it was necessary for him to know the use of the Tree Hearts. If it could help him increase his cultivation level, then he would slowly move forward and focus on hunting these ancient trees until he had a breakthrough.

He sat down cross-legged. The Blade Domain was still active. Then he began to refine the Tree Heart's energy in the ball of light.

The energy entered his body like a cool liquid. It flowed through his meridians and then into his Abdomen.

When the energy entered his Abdomen, it did not make Zi Chen stronger. It had no effect on increasing his level.

But soon, Zi Chen realized that after this energy merged with the Yin and Yang energy, he could feel the two energies more clearly.

As more and more of the Tree Hearts were refined, Zi Chen felt that his control over these two energies had become more proficient.

The two energies, which were originally very strong, seemed to have become gentler and easier to control.

Just like how the branches of the ancient trees could be controlled. If he wanted to transform them into some kind of attack, he could use some kind of method.

It was easy to say, but difficult to do.

Take the current Zi Chen for example. All of his attacks were methodical. His control of the Yin and Yang energy was at the most basic stage.

The only method he could use at the same time was the Yin Yang Thunder Lotus.

It was obviously impossible for him to use the Yin and Yang energy to transform other creatures, unless he could transform them separately.

For example, using the power of extreme Yin to transform into a battle wolf, and using the power of extreme Yang to transform into a white tiger. It was completely possible to transform them into individual transformations.

But if he combined the Yin and Yang energy to transform a white tiger, Zi Chen could not do it.

Unless there was an external object controlling it. For example, he could integrate the Yin and Yang energy with the sword in his hand. This was because he did not need to control it deliberately. He just needed to pour the energy into it and let the sword take care of the rest.

The use of the Yin and Yang energy had always been Zi Chen's shortcoming. Previously, because the enemy's realm was about the same as his, he could easily defeat them with the violent and powerful Yin and Yang energy. But now, as the environment changed, the gap between their realms increased, and Zi Chen's shortcoming became more obvious.

It could be said that he had not used his greatest advantage until now.

Originally, he did not have any method and could only slowly comprehend it. But now, with these Tree Hearts, Zi Chen seemed to have found a shortcut.

If he could be like the ancient trees and control his own energy as he wished, then the power produced by the combination of the Yin and Yang energy would definitely be stronger, and his battle strength would naturally become stronger.

Opening his eyes, Zi Chen told Shadowless about the use of the Tree Hearts. When Shadowless heard it, he was obviously surprised. "It seems that you're in luck. There are many ancient trees here. After obtaining these Tree Hearts, it will be enough to improve your control of the Yin and Yang energy by a large margin."

Zi Chen nodded. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Not only the Tree Hearts, but the vitality of the ancient trees that he had devoured earlier had also been injected into his world. Although the world was huge and the vitality did not have the most direct changes, it should be known that there were many ancient trees here. Once he refined all of them, his world might level up again.

And if his world leveled up, it meant that the rules would be strengthened. At the same time, his realm could also increase.

To other people, this area might not be an opportunity, but Zi Chen knew that it was definitely a place of opportunity for him.

This place was dangerous enough, but he had the Sword Territory, so he could still move forward slowly.

A path to becoming a powerhouse had appeared beneath his feet.

Zi Chen continued to refine the remaining Tree Hearts. After he had finished refining them, his Yin and Yang energy had changed a little, but it was not enough to make his battle strength increase in the most direct way.

However, this was only one tree. One should know that there were countless ancient trees around him.
