Chapter 449: Dog Barking?
“Is this still a plant?”
Zhou Tong stared at the tree that was moving away, his gaze dull as he asked.
“You ask me, who should I ask? Hurry up and subdue it!”
The Earth’s Veins said anxiously.
“There’s no rush, let’s play with it!”
Zhou Tong’s expression turned interested. This tree was not simple at all; its speed was comparable to the Sacred Forbidden Weapon of the Profound Sky Hall. If it were outside, he would need to use Movement Art to catch up.
“We’re going!”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tong and the Earth’s Veins teleported out, easily reaching above the tree, locking onto it tightly and maintaining their relative positions while moving.
“Stop!”
Zhou Tong pressed down with his palm, gathering the power of the world in his hand, forming the Omniverse Illusion Seal, containing the power of three million small worlds. This single strike was enough to obliterate an Intermediate Sage.
However, the tree didn’t care at all, extending its branches to directly pierce into the handprint.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded before the two. It seemed to have found a delicious treat and greedily devoured it, effortlessly dissolving the Omniverse Illusion Seal!
“Earth’s Rhythm!”
The Earth’s Veins was not willing to be outdone, waving his hand, causing the ground in the Pure Land to surge like ocean waves, looking to engulf the tree.
Yet, the tree only jumped lightly, and the four tendrils touching the ground emitted strange waves, instantly flattening the earth.
“Hiss…”
Seeing this, both of them gasped in unison. This situation was truly unheard of.
“I still don’t believe I can’t subdue this thing!”
Zhou Tong frowned, transmitting an extremely terrifying force.
At that moment, he merged with Xiao Bai once again. His form remained unchanged, but he entered the state of Dharmakaya’s Formative Power.
“Star River Shattering!”
A light sphere shot out, tearing through the void and striking the strange tree in the nick of time!
“Boom!!”
The hemispherical explosion wave rapidly expanded, covering dozens of miles, evaporating everything clean.
“Hurry up, do you want to kill it?”
The Earth’s Veins couldn’t help but shout in shock, thinking Zhou Tong was going overboard.
“Why are you shouting so loudly? That guy is still alive and kicking.”
As the words fell, they saw the strange tree from a distance, bouncing around as if filled with endless vitality.
“Art of Arms!”
Zhou Tong took a deep breath, and the Three-pronged Double-edged Saber transformed in his hand, becoming sword-shaped.
“Sword One…”
Just as he was about to swing his sword, the tree changed again, the lowest branch trembling gently, red flowers blooming quietly, growing a fruit at a visibly rapid rate.
“What is that?”
Their eyes widened further; they had never seen a fruit like it.
It was a red pyramid with four faces, each face a triangle, with a dot drawn on each.
With a “Deng” sound, the bottom dot suddenly flashed, shooting a light sphere towards the two.
The light sphere exploded, becoming a wave of light sweeping over them, and in an instant, both Zhou Tong and the Earth’s Veins felt their bodies heavy, as if encountering tens of thousands of times the gravity!
“Minor trick!”
Zhou Tong said disdainfully. His body shook violently as he directly broke free from the gravitational field and charged at the tree again.
Then, the second face of the fruit lit up, releasing a lightning sphere.
“Dodge!”
Zhou Tong’s expression turned serious and he began to retreat, just as the lightning sphere expanded, instantly covering tens of thousands of miles!
“Heavens!!”
Seeing this, Zhou Tong and the Earth’s Veins were stunned. They had never witnessed such a wide-range killing move, which immediately covered tens of thousands of miles, clearly aiming to make anyone unable to evade!
“What’s happening?”
The Earth’s Veins suddenly asked, feeling no abnormality in his body.
“I don’t know. Could it just be a bluff?”
Zhou Tong responded, puzzled, but just as he was about to act, his pupils suddenly contracted!
“I can’t move! Could it be the law of time?”
He muttered to himself, suddenly putting in more effort. The small world inside him started to operate wildly, unleashing terrifying power.
With this enhancement, he finally managed to move somewhat, but each step felt like wading through a swamp, requiring immense energy.
“I understand. That lightning field increased the resistance between us and the air, making it hard to move.”
“How is this even possible?”
“I don’t know, but I know that the laws contained within that tree are completely different from what we know, perhaps revealing the true nature of the world.”
While speaking, the third face of the fruit moved, shooting a condensed light sphere at Zhou Tong. This sphere wouldn’t diffuse; it was clearly a targeted attack!
Without even needing to think, its power was definitely extraordinary. If taken head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Open up!”
At a critical moment, Zhou Tong summoned the power of the world, directly draining the surrounding air and eliminating the immense resistance.
At the same time, he attached his spiritual power to his foot and kicked violently at the light sphere.
“Five Dragon Divine Symbol, Manifest Dragon in the Field!”
With a loud bang!
At the moment of contact, the light sphere was condensed into an entity and then split apart by Zhou Tong’s kick, dividing into two and landing in different positions!
“Boom! Boom!”
Two mountains were struck, one turning into an iron mountain and the other into a copper mountain, surprising both of them once again.
The light wave from the third face could actually change matter directly, a method of bringing something out of nothing, turning stone into gold!
Zhou Tong didn’t know if Great Emperors could achieve such feats, but in his past life, as a Quasi-Emperor at the peak, he had never mastered such a means.
Because of this, both were filled with curiosity. If the third face had such power, what would the fourth face be like?
Just as they expected, while they were filled with anticipation, the light point from the fourth face shot out!
“Let me see what else you can do!”
Zhou Tong cracked his knuckles, ready to unleash Manifest Dragon in the Field again to bounce the light away when the Void Self Realm suddenly activated!
“Not good!”
He glimpsed a corner of the future and quickly twisted his body to dodge the light sphere.
The light landed gently on top of the iron mountain, and in an instant, the peak disappeared.
Indeed, it vanished—not shattered, not evaporated, but completely gone!
“Is that all?”
The Earth’s Veins said in disappointment. While the ability to completely erase an object was impressive, it meant nothing if it couldn’t hit.
“Run! Something big is coming!”
Zhou Tong suddenly shouted, immediately shifting space and moving the two a thousand miles away!
“What are you doing?”
The Earth’s Veins asked doubtfully. The attack was clearly over; why was there still such a sense of urgency?
However, before he could finish, an immense fireball erupted in the direction they had just been!
Under the stunned gaze of the Earth’s Veins, the fireball expanded wildly, covering an area of six hundred miles. Immediately afterward, a terrifying shockwave swept over, making it hard for both to stand, and Zhou Tong felt his blood surging.
“What a guy! Just the shockwave alone could injure an Intermediate Sage. What on earth is this thing?”
“I understand now!”
The Earth’s Veins suddenly said, “That light didn’t make the matter disappear; it completely transformed it into energy, releasing it in an instant!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong was momentarily lost in thought.
“To think it could even achieve that!”
He marveled. The power of this strike far exceeded Spirit Seal 96. If it landed in the Profound Sky Hall, it could easily obliterate it instantly!
“I’m done playing; we have to catch it quickly!” Zhou Tong decided immediately. If left unchecked, it could lead to uncontrollable consequences.
With one step, the two traversed space, immediately blocking the strange tree.
Without saying a word, Zhou Tong gathered the power of the world and crushed it directly, folding it into three and then tightly binding it with the law chains.
“Got it!!”
After sealing it, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, looking down at the strange tree.
“Weren’t you very capable? Come on, bark for me!”
As soon as he said this, the strange tree immediately complied and let out an earth-shattering howl.
“Woof!”
