Chapter 4228: 4228 Chapter 4228: Drained Dry The sound of explosions, mingled with the Tree King’s shrieks, woke the entire Heavenly Void Palace. The Tree King seemed to sense mortal danger, screaming even more fiercely than before, and the other nine Tree Kings who hadn’t yet been attacked started to scream too. Their attacks grew even wilder and more violent; countless branches and roots tore through the void, striking at Lin Moyu and his undead servants, killing off huge numbers of undead. But the undead were like immortal cockroaches: they died and immediately revived, and their numbers even increased, simply unable to be eradicated. The Icy Jade Meditation Mat steamed with white mist, freezing nearly a hundred meters around Lin Moyu in solid ice, forming icy walls that also blocked the Tree King’s attacks. Fatty (Fatty Girl) guarded outside the shield of ice, doing her utmost to take the brunt of each branch, relieving as much pressure from Lin Moyu as possible. The whole Heavenly Void Palace was shuddering. In the outer areas within that massive maze streaks of aura soared to the heavens. These auras were similar to those of the ancient trees, making Lin Moyu think of the one tree that had previously escaped. There must have been many similar ancient trees in the outer regions, and hearing the Tree Kings’ cries, they were now awakening. The ground began to quake; cracks appeared far off and ancient trees burst from the earth, joining the battle. These trees could move underground, and Lin Moyu had no idea how many might hide in the Palace’s outer regions, but now that they returned to support the center, it was good news for him. Under the light of the Balance Gemstone, these trees could stir up no great storm; on the contrary, they sent him an abundance of ammunition. "Good! The more the merrier!" Lin Moyu smiled, growing more entertained by the fight. Corpse explosions followed one after another. No matter what the Tree King tried, it couldn’t stop the explosions, which were formless and sourceless, impossible to avoid or block only to endure. After thirty successive deadly blasts each one as fierce as an Eternal’s last ditch blow, and each one detonating inside the Tree King even a Tree King at half step Chaos Realm couldn’t handle it. Its body was left with gaping holes; the corpse explosions damaged not only its flesh but also its soul, and wounds of the body were echoes of wounds to the soul. The Tree King’s surface was sparkling; wisp after wisp of chaos force seeped in from the skin into its innards. Wherever the chaos force touched, the Tree King’s wounds rapidly mended, and even its soul was being restored. In the blink of an eye, most of its injuries recovered almost everything Lin Moyu had done was erased. "So, that’s chaotification’s power?" Lin Moyu was surprised; he hadn’t expected this kind of functionality for a chaotified body. But his interest only sharpened he wanted to see what else chaos force could do. By his reckoning, the Tree King was the toughest foe he’d ever tried to kill with corpse explosion. Half a realm’s difference really did make a world of difference. Luckily, the ancient forest was filled with trees his arsenal was limitless. He continued unleashing corpse explosions. The Tree King fought back desperately, but chaos force seemed finite; after a few healing bursts, it stopped appearing. Lin Moyu kept up his barrage, until the Tree King’s chaotified skin finally began to give way wide cracks appearing, its soul aura dimming. "No other tricks?" If the only function of the chaos force was to recover from injuries, that was a bit disappointing to Lin Moyu he’d hoped to see more. But he didn’t hold back for that reason. Suffering dozens of corpse explosions, the Tree King’s body was covered in wounds; even its chaotified outer layer began to collapse. The screaming intensified, but it was helpless death was approaching. The other nine Tree Kings did everything they could, wrapping their roots around their companion, trying to shield it and send it strength to heal. It was useless. Corpse explosion could not be blocked by space or time; it simply could not be stopped. This Tree King’s life was almost at an end. But Lin Moyu didn’t relax for a second, staring at the Tree Sovereign in the far distance. That towering, terrifying presence hadn’t moved at all. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 No matter how awful the Tree King’s screams, it stayed still. It was certainly not just asleep; it clearly didn’t care about the Tree King’s life or death. Lin Moyu guessed it had its own mission, or perhaps the Tree Kings were irrelevant to it. Maybe the entire forest simply didn’t matter to it at all. Just how powerful was Chaos Realm? Lin Moyu had only scratched the surface maybe today he’d learn. After a full hundred corpse explosions, that Tree King was finally reduced to dust. If it was that hard to kill a half step Chaos being, a full Chaos Realm being would be nearly unimaginable. With the Tree King dead, its body turned to ash ready to be used as material for Lin Moyu’s next weapon. He didn’t use the Tree King’s corpse immediately against the other Tree Kings. He intended to save it perhaps it would come in handy against the Tree Sovereign. As for the other Tree Kings, he could handle them as before, using the lesser trees from the forest. There was no shortage of corpses, no shortage of dust this ancient forest was strewn with remains, more than enough for his needs. To Lin Moyu, the whole battle was nothing but another experiment. Now he knew: corpse explosion could kill a half step Chaos being. That was sufficient knowledge. As one Tree King fell, the remaining nine only grew more crazed, but for some reason they could not move their only option was to stand their ground, using branches and roots to fight. They were passive by nature; once Lin Moyu had found a means to kill them, their fate was already sealed. The Balance Gemstone’s light eventually shone on several more Tree Kings. As Lin Moyu expected, its effect was less than ideal their chaotified skins blocked most of the gemstone’s power. But at least, their attacks were somewhat weakened. With the lesson of the first Tree King, Lin Moyu was bolder this time. He channeled a great surge of power into the Icy Jade Meditation Mat, making it shine more brightly and unleashing an aura even greater than before. Suddenly, a message flowed into Lin Moyu’s mind the mat had truly activated now, and he learned one of its abilities: "Heaven and Earth Frozen Seal!" With a low shout, all the power in Lin Moyu’s body including his soul force was instantly drawn out, leaving him instantly drained dry. Fortify Troops and Power Gather spells collapsed at once. Luckily, the Balance Gemstone still functioned, so even after those spells ended, the undead army remained unshakeable. Now Lin Moyu looked like a dried up corpse; with a bitter smile, he chose to self destruct, his body exploding into a mist of blood, then regenerating anew in a flash of violet light. He hadn’t expected the Icy Jade Meditation Mat to need so much energy enough to drain even someone of his level in an instant. But he barely managed to meet its requirements. The mat released a pure white glow, rising through the air and solidifying into ice, forming a mirror. Within the mirror, much of the ancient forest was reflected and then began to freeze; at the same time, the actual forest began freezing too. With a thought, Lin Moyu instantly recalled all his undead. A moment later, all the trees were frozen; a once vibrant world fell silent and dead.
