Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 559: Chapter 552: The Assault

Two figures strolled through the forest. They made no exaggerated movements, yet their speed was utterly terrifying.

One of the figures was nearly three meters tall with two horns on his head. His brownish-black body was covered in strange runes, and his pale yellow pupils inspired a bone-chilling fear.

The other figure was about 1.8 meters tall and appeared no different from an ordinary person. But at this moment, blood-red Divine Soul Power was gathering around his body, forming countless tentacle-like appendages that constantly writhed and swayed within a nearly hundred-meter radius.

Any vegetation or animal touched by these crimson tentacles instantly withered away, and a unique energy they produced seemed to be absorbed by the figure.

Wherever they passed, all life withered, leaving only barren earth in their wake.

Yukun and Bi Qiu.

"Ah, the Forest Race... Still this disgusting color. That said, their specially cultivated vegetation is the most satisfying. I hope the Ancestral Land can supply some of even better quality."

A faintly satisfied smile graced Bi Qiu’s face. He had just absorbed all the unique vegetation around the third Seal, which had somewhat sated his appetite.

"The Ancestral Land is probably close now. Compared to that, the Forest Race, with no King Level fighters, is just food for us. What I’m truly interested in is that King of Humans."

Yukun said coolly.

"Heh, a being who broke through on his own? Truly remarkable. But for the realms at King Level and above, the most important thing is the accumulation of time. Lacking that, no matter how astonishingly talented he is, how strong could he possibly be?"

Bi Qiu shook his head lightly.

"Heh heh. He’s the first creature in an entire biosphere to break through the boundary. A metamorphosis from nothing into something... I doubt his power is so meager."

A smile touched the corners of Yukun’s lips.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!

Suddenly, they both felt the ground begin to tremble violently. With a tremendous roar, massive, gnarled vines, like great dragons, erupted from the earth not far away. Their surfaces were covered in strange markings.

These dragon-like vines soared into the sky, jutting out from all directions to form a fortress, completely enclosing and protecting a plot of land within, leaving no gaps.

"The ’Green God’? A part of the life-bound plant left behind by that Ancient Hero from long ago?"

The pair stopped in their tracks, gazing at the massive fortress of thick vines nearly ten kilometers away.

They knew that place was the Ancestral Land of the Forest Race, as well as the very core of the Primordial Ancestor’s Seal.

"Back then, it was that Ancient Hero of the Forest Race who used the ’Green God’ to carve out our Ancestor Lord’s ’Heart of Desolation.’ He sealed His will within it, then used the ’Green God’ to take root upon the heart, expending all of his own energy to seal it thousands of meters underground."

"The ’Green God’ itself is part of the Primordial Ancestor’s Seal. To think they’ve even deployed this... Are they playing all their trump cards right from the start? I thought the first one we would encounter would be the King of Humans."

Yukun narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the thick, dragon-like vines covered in mystical markings as he spoke in a low voice.

"Hm, that’s not hard to explain. Perhaps there’s something wrong with his condition, and he’s unable to fight. After all, instability is normal right after a breakthrough."

"Another possibility is that he knows he can’t stand against us, so he made the wise choice to hide and has decided not to interfere here for now."

Bi Qiu said with a laugh.

"It seems I’m bound to be disappointed."

"Well then, I’ll leave the next part to you. Any objections?"

Yukun said to Bi Qiu.

"Of course. If this were the Green God controlled by that hero of old, I would naturally have to show it some respect."

"But as it is now... The being controlling this Green Vine hasn’t even reached King Level, and is merely relying on the Green God’s innate strength..."

"For me, that makes it the most delicious ’food’!!"

A sinister smile spread across Bi Qiu’s lips.

HUMMMMM!!

Amidst a powerful hum, the massive vine fortress suddenly trembled. Spurred on by some unseen power, the dragon-like vines began to twist and contort. One by one, enormous flower buds sprouted from their lengths.

The buds swelled rapidly before blooming, their beauty tinged with a fantastical, dreamlike quality.

Within each of the giant, blooming flowers, an armored wooden figure was curled in a peculiar posture. Each one stood over five meters tall and exuded a sense of immense power.

WHOOSH!!

The innumerable, massive wooden figures snapped their eyes open. Swinging the Wooden Swords clutched in their hands, they severed the umbilical cord-like roots connecting them to the flowers. They detached themselves and fell from the sky, landing one by one on the ground below.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ground shook with a deafening crash as a vast expanse of green light surged skyward.

Squad after squad of massive wooden soldiers charged ferociously toward Bi Qiu and Yukun.

The sheer force of their charge seemed more terrifying than any land-based weapon humanity currently possessed.

Green Divine Soldiers.

These were biological weapons nurtured within the Divine Vine Green God. They inherited some of the Green God’s traits and could even wield a unique power similar to a weakened form of Divine Soul Power.

These soldiers were, without a doubt, one of the Forest Race’s greatest trump cards.

Facing the ferocious charge of these behemoths, Bi Qiu took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Yukun.

"They actually dare to attack first?!!"

"It seems that after more than six thousand years, you have forgotten the power wielded by me, the magnificent Withering King!!!"

FWOOSH FWOOSH FWOOSH!!!

With a savage laugh, the blood-red light of his Divine Soul Power erupted. In the next instant, countless blood-red tentacles thrashed wildly within a radius of several hundred meters.

The protective energy surrounding the charging Green Divine Soldiers—an energy similar to Divine Soul Power—was shattered by the tentacles, which then pierced deep into their bodies.

SHHHHHHH!!!

A continuous, immense stream of power was drained by the Divine Soul Power tentacles. The Green Divine Soldiers, considered a trump card by the Forest Race, had completely withered away before they even reached their foe.

THUMP! THUMP!

After absorbing the vast amount of energy, Bi Qiu’s body underwent a dramatic transformation, swelling in size.

The flesh of his chest suddenly tore open, revealing a circular cavity within.

Countless rays of blood-red light compressed and condensed within the cavity.

The Withering King absorbed the Life Energy of all surrounding things, converted it into his own Divine Soul Power, and used a special organ within his body for extreme compression. And then...

He unleashed it!!!

BOOM!!!

A massive pillar of blood-red light erupted from his chest, blasting toward the vine fortress.
