"What now?"
Everyone present had a solemn look on their faces. The lineup of five semi-saints could only be described as terrifying. Even if all of them were added together, it would be difficult for them to be their opponent, even though they had more people.
The people beside Lin Ran also frowned at this moment, and glanced at the place inside the ancient Bodhi tree that was emitting brilliance. The Bodhi mind was right before their eyes, and they really didn't have the courage to give up so easily.
"If we work together, we should be able to take down a semi-saint puppet."
Xun'er spoke softly, she was at the peak of the eighth level of Dou Zun, Gu Qingyang was at the sixth level, Gu Hua and the others had also reached the peak of Dou Zun, which was enough to fight with a semi-saint.
"We can get one too!"
Feng Qing'er said unwillingly.
Their team's strength is not much weaker than Xun'er's. Not only does they have the newly appointed young leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but they also have top talents like Jiufeng!
"Then I'll choose one too?"
Lin Ran suddenly spoke, and then raised his voice: "The guys over there, are you planning to give up and retreat now? From the looks of it, it seems that as long as you don't move forward, these semi-saint puppets will not attack. In other words, if you retreat now, you still have a chance."
After hearing Lin Ran's words, the people present frowned slightly and finally shook their heads.
"Since no one is retreating, we have no choice but to fight hard. We will stop the three semi-saints, and you will take care of the other two. How do you think?"
The number of people walking here now is not as large as in the original book.
Apart from Lin Ran and his group, there were only Hun Yu and two Zhongzhou forces. Their lineups were also pretty good, and each of their teams had at least two powerful men who had reached the peak of the Dou Zun.
"We were able to stop one."
Hun Yu glanced at Lin Ran. Lin Ran took the initiative to give away three puppets, so he naturally would not cause any trouble at this time.
He understood that if the people on Lin Ran's side started fighting directly, they would not be able to compete with the five semi-saints with their strength alone!
The last two teams looked at each other and said in a deep voice, "Then leave the remaining half-saint puppet to us!"
"Since there's no problem, let's get started!"
Lin Ran spoke calmly, and blasted one of the semi-saint puppets with his palm. The semi-saint puppet didn't even have the strength to resist, and its head was directly blown up!
The whole place was dead silent.
Everyone looked at Lin Ran in disbelief, even Jiu Feng, Gu Qingyang and the others were all bewildered.
No, buddy, you are so strong that you can just slap one of them. Why should we fight? You can just push them away!
"Ouch, ouch, no, no, this slap has completely exhausted my fighting spirit..."
Seeing everyone staring at him, Lin Ran pretended to be weak and said with a distressed look on his face: "What are you still looking at? They are coming to attack us!"
"…"
The corners of everyone's mouth twitched, and even Feng Qing'er and Xun'er showed a bit of helplessness.
However, they did not dare to be negligent. With cold shouts, figures rushed out at the same time and faced their respective targets.
"Ancestor, let us help you relieve your pain."
Hun Yu looked at the puppet with a blank face, said something lightly, and then moved forward. Behind him, nearly a dozen extremely powerful Soul Palace warriors quickly followed, and their powerful fighting spirit tightly entangled the semi-saint puppet.
At the same time, Xun'er and Feng Qing'er each exerted their internal fighting spirit to the extreme and led the team to face their targets.
For a moment, terrifying fighting spirit spread across the vast plain, and a fierce gale like a blade raged.
On the contrary, Lin Ran, who was the most leisurely, slowly turned his gaze to the ancient Bodhi tree. In the tree body hundreds of feet above the ground, circles of brilliance spread out, permeated with an amazing vitality.
With his body swaying, he was already one step ahead of everyone else and rushed towards the main body of the ancient Bodhi tree.
The closer Lin Ran got, the more he could feel how towering and huge this ancient tree was, which had been alive for who knows how many years.
The moment Lin Ran approached the ancient Bodhi tree, a brilliant light suddenly burst out from the tree body that was a hundred feet high, and turned into a beam of light that directly covered Lin Ran.
The next moment, Lin Ran's figure disappeared directly in the white light.
"Aran!"
"Oh no! Lin Ran is one step ahead!"
The people who were fighting fiercely with the semi-saint puppets naturally noticed this situation and were shocked. Their movements became even more intense!
...
at the same time.
Lin Ran, who had stepped into the ancient Bodhi tree, was now standing in a world full of white light.
There was no figure around, but not far in front of him, there was a circle of light.
"Illusionary space?"
Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before he walked into the light circle and stepped in.
The moment he stepped into the aperture, although it seemed only a moment, Lin Ran felt as if decades or hundreds of years had passed. When he was at a loss, his body suddenly shook, and lush grasslands replaced the white world and appeared in his eyes.
"The ancient wilderness..."
Looking at the vast grassland in front of him, Lin Ran murmured softly, but the next moment, the grassland around him began to shake violently.
The next moment, the whole world suddenly collapsed. Lin Ran's eyes blurred and when he came to his senses, he found that he was in a space full of emerald green.
In this space, there is an ancient tree about ten meters tall, standing here as if it has existed forever. The tree is emerald green all over, as if it were made of the finest jade, releasing an amazing vitality.
This tree is exactly the same as the nearly thousand-foot-tall ancient Bodhi tree in the outside world, except that it looks countless times smaller.
At the same time, a special information flooded into Lin Ran's mind.
"No buddy, is there anything wrong with my soul being a little more powerful?"
A strange look appeared on Lin Ran's face. His soul was too strong, a soul that had reached the great perfection of the heavenly realm. Even the ancient Bodhi tree could not completely restrict him. In just a moment, the illusion collapsed.
The emerald green ancient Bodhi tree seemed to have heard Lin Ran's voice and suddenly trembled slightly.
A ball of light emerged from his branches and leaves.
Inside the ball of light, there was an ancient Bodhi tree that was ten thousand feet tall. However, Lin Ran's gaze did not fall on the ancient tree, but on the air in front of the ancient tree. A figure in black was standing in the air, and an aura as if that of the supreme being of heaven and earth was slowly spreading out from the body of the person. Under this aura, even the ten thousand feet tall ancient Bodhi tree seemed quite small.
"Is this the Doudi..."
Lin Ran's eyes were filled with deep horror as he stared at the back of the black-clothed figure. Although it was just an image, the aura made his soul tremble!
This feeling even surpassed that of Gu Yuan and Gu Lie, whom he had seen before. In the entire world, apart from those Dou Di masters who only existed in ancient legends, who else could have such a feeling?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the ball of light, the black figure stood in front of the huge ancient Bodhi tree. Suddenly, the figure began to attack the ancient Bodhi tree. Facing his attack, the ancient Bodhi tree was filled with terrible energy. In this terrible confrontation, even the world collapsed.
There is no doubt that this is the confrontation between the ancient Bodhi tree and the Dou Emperor!
Within the ball of light, the images danced faster and faster, and finally, paused at the last scene. The black figure was suddenly hit hard by a destructive gust of wind that rushed in from outside the ball of light. In the end, his body and the world exploded into nothingness.
"So fierce…"
Looking at the black figure that exploded into nothingness, Lin Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Obviously, the sudden attack before should have been launched by a Dou Di strongman who was as powerful as the Dou Di in black. With the joint efforts of the ancient Bodhi tree and another mysterious Dou Di, the Dou Di in black was shaken into nothingness!
The image of the light ball did not stop with the death of the black-clothed Dou Di. In the void, wisps of black air suddenly emerged. As soon as these air currents appeared, they quickly rushed into the ancient Bodhi tree. As these air currents entered, the clear air that permeated the ancient Bodhi tree was obviously faintly added with a touch of obscure coldness.
After all of this was played out, the ball of light slowly dimmed, and then condensed into an invisible object, rushing into Lin Ran's brain like lightning, and finally spreading out as a strange stream of information.
Lin Ran closed his eyes slightly, digesting this strange flow of information. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
It is unknown how many years the ancient Bodhi tree before us has existed, but one thing is certain, it has existed since ancient times.
It's a pity that after countless years, this ancient Bodhi tree has not evolved complete intelligence. Perhaps it's because it has existed for too long, and its intelligence cannot be sound. Whatever the reason, this ancient Bodhi tree has no real wisdom. It only has some basic functions of spiritual creatures, such as autonomous protection or counterattack.
The image in the light ball earlier was from a very distant era. There was once a seriously injured Dou Di who wanted to forcibly extract the spirit of the ancient Bodhi tree to heal his injuries, but in the end he was killed by his opponent and the ancient Bodhi tree. Of course, the killing of the black-clothed Dou Di obviously caused the ancient Bodhi tree to suffer extremely terrible injuries. This can be seen from the fact that the image showed that the tree was originally thousands of feet tall, but now it is only about a thousand feet tall.
However, even though the ancient Bodhi tree paid a huge price, it did not completely kill the black-clothed Dou Emperor as imagined, because at the moment of the latter's death, some of his negative emotions gathered together and invaded the ancient Bodhi tree.
These so-called negative emotions have gradually eroded the ancient Bodhi tree over countless years, causing the tree's simple intelligence to gradually turn dark and cold.
In other words, the ancient Bodhi tree has been eroded by the negative emotions of the Dou Di strongman for a long time, and has gradually evolved into the evil side. This is why there are those semi-saint puppets outside. They are also affected by that negative force and eventually become puppets.
Originally, that power was going to affect Lin Ran, but Lin Ran's soul power was too strong, and the Holy Gold Meteorite Heart Fire was the nemesis of this dark power, which directly caused the illusion to collapse!
The current Bodhi Ancient Tree, to put it simply, has two spiritual intelligences in its body. One is originally its own, which can be called kind spiritual intelligence, and the other is due to the negative emotions of the black-clothed Dou Emperor. This spiritual intelligence tends to be evil.
"You want me to help you dispel that evil spirit?" Lin Ran asked, looking at the emerald old tree in front of him.
"Wow!"
In response to Lin Ran's words, the ancient tree suddenly swayed, as if nodding.
"This is not easy. After all, it was left by a Dou Di. I am just a small Dou Sheng. Even if my soul realm is the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm and I have a good Strange Fire, I am definitely not good enough to face a Dou Di."
"Huahua…"
As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, a ball of light emerged from the ancient tree. In the ball of light, a flame appeared, and then a Bodhi seed appeared. The flame refined the Bodhi seed, and a clear air appeared, and finally drilled into the ancient tree. With the entry of this clear air, the coldness that permeated the ancient Bodhi tree seemed to fade a little.
"You want me to have Bodhi seeds?"
Lin Ran paused slightly, turned his palm over, and suddenly a Bodhi seed appeared in his hand.
It was exactly the one that was obtained from the saliva of Bodhi's body.
"I only have one, but it's not enough for you."
"Wow…"
The ancient tree shook, and then green spots of light flew out from its body, finally hovering in front of Lin Ran.
There are more than twenty light spots, and each one is a Bodhi seed. The energy concentration in them is far greater than the one in Lin Ran's hand!
Lin Ran's eyes swept across these green spots. Although the Bodhi seeds were not as terrifying as the Bodhi mind, they could increase the success rate of becoming a Douluo Saint. If they were placed outside, let alone these extremely high-quality Bodhi seeds, just the mottled Bodhi seed in his hand would be able to attract the crazy scramble of countless powerful people.
However, now, the Bodhi seeds that are extremely rare in the outside world suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ran with more than 20 pieces!
"In this case, I will help you once, but I have to make a promise. I will help you for a fee. After I help you, don't forget to give me something good!"
"Huahuahua…"
The old tree shook, as if speaking.
Don't worry, as long as you help me, there will be great benefits!
