Under the altar, countless tree people gathered, rooted in the soil, scattered in all directions, turning into a lush and wild forest.
Zhang Ruochen used the wood spirit's true energy to condense the tree people, and passed by those thousand-year-old tree people without causing much movement.
Zhang Ruochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that after cultivating the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, he would indeed be able to hide the truth from the sky.
He unfolded his mental power, spread it out cautiously, and began to explore.
When he recovered his mental power, he was a little surprised. The number of powerful tree people was far beyond his expectation. There were as many as thirty-five trees of tree kings that had grown for more than three thousand years.
Among them, there are even a few trees that emit a breath that is even more terrifying and makes people shudder. According to Zhang Ruochen's guess, they should be tree people that have grown for four thousand years. Their strength is comparable to the monks of the fourth fish-dragon transformation.
It is conceivable that if Zhang Ruochen accidentally exposed his whereabouts and fell into the siege of the tree people, even if Zhang Ruochen had three heads and six arms, he would probably be torn apart.
Care must be taken.
"Wow!"
Xiao Hei's figure became only the size of a mosquito. He flapped his wings and flew out of the hole in the tree trunk, landed under the altar, and began to study the patterns on the altar.
"It does have some real abilities, it can actually shrink its body to such an extent." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
You must know that even a monk who has cultivated into the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon with a Glazed Treasure Body can only shrink his body ten times at most, or expand it ten times before reaching the limit.
Xiao Hei's body has definitely shrunk by more than ten times.
Zhang Ruochen controlled the body of the tree man and continued to move forward. When he reached the bottom of the altar, he stopped and said to himself: "Now, the bottom of the altar is full of tree men. If I were to blatantly board the altar like this,
The strong ones among the altar and tree people will definitely become suspicious. We must first create chaos to lure them away."
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and secretly mobilized his spiritual power to communicate the aura between heaven and earth.
"Chichi!"
Under the influence of spiritual power, a thick layer of dark clouds gradually appeared above the altar.
The clouds were getting thicker and wider, completely covering the scorching sun in the sky, and not a single ray of light could penetrate. The whole world was completely dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.
In the black layer, there was a "cracking" sound, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered into wisps of thunder and lightning, turning into electric snakes, traveling quickly across the sky.
"What's going on? Why did day suddenly turn into night?"
"I feel a powerful energy condensing in the clouds. If that energy breaks out, it will definitely cause a huge disaster."
"That's...that's the method of the extraterrestrial god of death. The extraterrestrial god of death is coming. The extraterrestrial god of death is coming!"
The tree people who had seen Zhang Ruochen use the power of thunder and lightning all became frightened and began to panic.
Only the Thousand-Year-Old Treeman and the Treeman King behaved calmly, but also very solemnly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, looking for traces of the God of Death outside the territory.
No one noticed that just below the altar, the tree trunk of the tree slowly opened a gap.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen immediately walked out of the tree trunk, performed spatial movement, and disappeared in place. Then, he passed through the space and appeared on the top of the altar.
The moment he climbed to the top of the altar, Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt a strong gravity acting on him.
The sudden heavy pressure caused his legs to bend slightly, and all the bones in his body were shaking. However, he quickly adapted and stood up straight again.
"Twenty times the gravity appears on the top of the altar. It's interesting. It seems that Xiao Hei is right. This altar is indeed something extraordinary."
Soon, Zhang Ruochen found a stone door leading to the ground on the top of the altar.
The surface of the stone door is carved with mysterious lines and odd little dots.
At a glance, those lines and dots look like they have gathered into a starry sky.
Zhang Ruochen didn't study the pattern on the stone door carefully. He circulated his true energy and struck out with a palm, hitting the stone door.
There was a "bang" sound, and the stone door shook, but it was not shattered.
On the contrary, the lines on the stone door gradually brightened.
Zhang Ruochen let out a light sigh and looked at his palm, a little surprised.
With his current strength, let alone a stone door, even an iron door can be smashed to pieces with one palm.
However, when he struck down with his palm, not even a single indentation was left on the stone door.
"Use space to move."
The power of space is the most mysterious. Let alone a stone door, even the hardest material can penetrate it. After all, any material is part of space.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise.
Zhang Ruochen used Space Movement, but suddenly he hit the stone door.
Instead of penetrating the stone door, he hit himself so hard that his whole body ached and he felt dizzy.
"My cultivation is still too weak and I cannot exert the true power of space. It is actually blocked by the inscriptions on the stone door." Zhang Ruochen rubbed his painful shoulders and couldn't help but observe the lines on the stone door again.
The power of space can indeed pass through all matter in the world, but some powerful inscriptions will affect space. Unless Zhang Ruochen's cultivation reaches a more advanced level and his understanding of space is deeper, he can pass through the inscriptions.
"Could it be...that a sacrifice is needed to open the stone door?"
Zhang Ruochen had such a conjecture in his mind.
So, he took out the wish-fulfilling vase from the storage ring, poured out the blood of the thousand-year tree man from the vase, and poured it on the stone door.
The blood fell on the stone door, making a chirping sound, and actually soaked in it.
The stone gate is really absorbing the blood of the thousand-year-old tree people.
Zhang Ruochen looked happy and poured out more blood.
The patterns on the stone door absorbed the blood and gradually turned into blood-red patterns that spread towards the entire altar.
"Boom!"
The cylindrical altar slowly moved and rotated, making an ear-splitting sound.
A tree king closest to the altar was the first to notice the abnormal movement of the altar. It looked over and happened to see Zhang Ruochen standing on the top of the altar. It yelled and said: "No, the extraterrestrial God of Death is here.
On the altar, we must stop him and not let him break into the altar."
The Treeman King immediately rushed over and was the first to get on the altar. He punched out a branch one meter in diameter and swept it towards Zhang Ruochen.
"call!"
Just the movement of the branches will cause a strong wind.
A layer of metallic light flows on the surface of the branches, and each leaf is like a sharp blade. The tree man king is so powerful that when one branch is swept out, it is like hitting thousands of knives at the same time.
The stone door has already opened a gap. Zhang Ruochen cannot escape at this time. He can only fight with the Treeman King first. He can only hope that he can hold on until the stone door is completely opened.
Zhang Ruochen stood next to the stone door, holding the wish-fulfilling vase in one hand and continuing to pour blood. Holding Shen Yuan's ancient sword in the other hand, he slashed out with the sword and started fighting with the tree king.
"Bang bang!"
Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship is very superb. The sword energy flies out one after another, keeping it airtight.
The entire altar was covered with sword shadows.
The sword energy chopped off the leaves one by one, cut off the branches one by one, and all flew out. Some fell on the altar, while others were shattered into powder by the sword energy.
When the Tree King stopped attacking, it had become bare, with not a single leaf or branch left, only a trunk.
"Extraterritorial Death God...you have gone too far..." the Treeman King roared.
Zhang Ruochen stood with his sword in hand and said calmly: "If you don't retreat, I'm afraid you will die."
"What a loud tone, the extraterrestrial god of death, let's meet you for a while." The voice of another tree king sounded.
A total of nine tree kings rushed to the altar at the same time, forming an encirclement and attacking Zhang Ruochen.
Even though Zhang Ruochen cultivated into a dual spirit body, he was still not arrogant enough to fight against the nine tree kings at the same time. Moreover, in addition to the nine tree kings, there were other tree kings below the altar, facing upwards.
Come rushing.
It can be said that Zhang Ruochen has been in danger and is besieged by the tree people.
"Deploying the Tianmu Absolute God Formation, we must not allow the Death God from outside the territory to escape."
Under the altar, a tree king was presiding over the overall situation, setting up formations with other tree people.
Zhang Ruochen held up the body-protecting Tiangang, continuously displayed sword moves, and fought with the Nine Tree King. However, Zhang Ruochen only held it for a breath, and Zhang Ruochen's sword circle and body-protecting Tiangang were broken.
A tree branch hit his left shoulder hard, knocking Zhang Ruochen away.
"go to hell!"
The attacks of the three tree kings hit Zhang Ruochen at the same time.
At this moment, the stone door on the top of the altar was fully opened.
"Wow!"
A bright blood-red light rushed out of the stone gate, turned into a pillar of light, penetrated the dark clouds in the sky, and flew into the vast universe.
Zhang Ruochen immediately used Space Movement and his body disappeared in mid-air. The next moment, he appeared next to the stone gate, and entered the stone gate in a flash.
The attacks of the three tree kings all failed and failed to hit Zhang Ruochen.
"Why did the extraterrestrial god of death suddenly disappear?" One of the tree kings was stunned for a moment and asked.
"He...he has entered the stone gate..." said a tree king.
"What?"
"What should I do now?"
The stone gate has been closed again.
All the tree kings looked at each other, wondering what to do next?
A tree king that had grown for four thousand years made an old voice and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Lord Tree Ancestor is practicing deep inside the altar. Death from outside the realm breaks in, just looking for death."
"Yes, Lord Shuzu's power is so powerful. If the foreign god of death confronts him, there is only one way to die."
The tree-man king, who had been growing for four thousand years, said: "However, we still need to arrange the formation just in case."
All the tree kings retreated from the altar and began to arrange the Tianmu Jueshen Formation.
As long as there is a formation, even if the death god from outside the territory is lucky enough to escape from the altar, they can calmly deal with it and kill it.
