Chapter 540: Chapter 540

The entrance to the space channel is right in front of them, yet it’s blocked by an earth wall.

The old captain burst forth at the first moment, directly throwing a leaf covered in patterns, instantly blasting apart the recently arched earth wall.

They dashed through the blasted opening.

Only if any one of the Earth men entered the space channel, the Heart of the Earth would be taken back.

However, just as he passed through, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that what lay before him was not the inside of the space channel, but another earth wall.

Yet another recently arched earth wall.

They smashed through one earth wall, only to find another; with seemingly endless walls, they quickly lost their direction.

Indeed, this is a maze.

Referred to as a Supreme Treasure within the Tree-man Mini World, it is a treasure innate to the world.

The Heart of the Earth is extremely powerful, with tens of thousands of clones, undying and immortal; as long as it is within a certain distance, it is limited by the world’s extreme, and can even almost break through to reach the Fourth Realm.

However, it is now entirely shrouded by the maze.

In a maze of the same level, a Fourth Realm earthen man simply cannot break through, no matter how numerous they are.

Initially, they were able to demolish one earth wall after another, but when those walls appeared covered in golden scales, it became increasingly difficult to break through, eventually becoming impossible.

Interestingly, not all the earth walls had these golden scales.

Thus, the dispersing earthen men continued to scatter.

Yet when all the earth walls became laden with golden scales, these tens of thousands of earthen men were split and scattered everywhere.

They finally were biding their time.

The moment of reaping had finally arrived.

Small Knife was thrilled.

Be it the Tree God or the Heart of the Earth, he had coveted them for a long time, even more so than the Four Celestial Great World’s Wu Feng Domain or the Earth Vein Pole Core-rich Immortal City.

Therefore, his main setup was here; he didn’t hesitate to allow the Goblin Mini World to be mostly conquered, finally luring the Heart of the Earth here.

And they were gathered together; how could he let such an opportunity slip?

In the Goblin Mini World, which had never been used for combat, a large number of mechanical puppet beasts appeared.

Naturally, they appeared within the maze.

For so long, how many mechanical puppet beasts had Small Knife manufactured?

Moreover, there were also a large number of dragon-men and the like.

The basic appraisal was King level, and a few connections were assessed as Emperor level, defeating enemies across realms, was only a trivial matter.

His true direct lineage troops were basically not deployed to the battlefield.

At most, only the occasional sighting of half-dragons or dragon-men was visible.

The entire world was nurturing its bloodline, treating a few as seed dragons, which over the years led to great yields.

These troop types were sent out, not in large numbers; only about a dozen were allocated to gang up on a single earthen man, and each was stronger than the earthen man.

The earthen men wanted to escape; it was difficult to capture them since they could also use Earth Escape.

Unfortunately, now, within the maze, they couldn’t burrow down, as the ground was covered in dragon-scale shapes, incredibly tough.

Ten thousand earthen men fled and fled, always circling within the maze.

Yet they all desperately wanted to escape.

They had to escape, they had to escape.

They encouraged each other through special means.

As long as one escaped, everyone could survive, and the Heart of the Earth would not be lost.

The enemy would surely not know the characteristics of the Heart of the Earth.

As they ran, suddenly the enemy appeared, and upon appearing, they were besieged.

And not just one location, almost, no, not almost.

All of the earthen men were attacked simultaneously, and in a short time, they were smashed and turned into fragments.

The fragmented mud writhed, wanting to converge.

Because they were not dead.

Even if these masses of earth were destroyed, it was of no use.

When they were destroyed, the surrounding earth would get contaminated, coalescing into new earthen men.

Therefore, the Master of the Tree-man Mini World had attempted various methods, yet ultimately could not eliminate any of the Great Lord’s subordinates.

But, it took time for the earthen men to resurrect and recover.

The earliest shattered earthen men had not yet recovered, and the other earthen men continued to be obliterated.

Soon, even the last of the ten thousand earthen men was destroyed.

With the shattering of this last one, those writhing mud fragments stopped moving and turned back into ordinary earth.

There was only one location left.

Only the shattered mud of this last one was writhing, not forming into a human shape but gathering together as if it was a heart beating.

The ten thousand earthen men were all true bodies of the Heart of the Earth, but after all of them were destroyed, only the last one was the true form.

The Heart of the Earth.

The Little Knife Giant Dragon Avatar appeared and picked it up.

This thing pulsed, without a trace of resistance.

It was directly stored into Small Knife’s personal space.

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness condensed and quickly analyzed.

This greatly delighted Small Knife.

He thought it had been used up but found it wasn’t ruined, immediately overjoyed.

The Heart of the Earth needs to absorb the origin of the Earth Vein Extreme Point to exert its power, which leverages the trait of the materials.

However, once completely shattered, the energy inside would be exhausted, rendering it powerless, which was beneficial upon acquisition.

Within the personal space, the floating Heart of the Earth was merely a lump of mud pulsing like a heart.

With a thought, strands of shadows were drawn out.

These were the souls of those Great Lords.

This was the reason they were immortal.

However, these were no longer secrets to Small Knife now.

Unfortunately, without a suitable Earth Vein Extreme Point, the Heart of the Earth could not be utilized for the time being.

Having settled this here.

Outside, a full-scale battle was ongoing.

The exit was surrounded by the maze, and here the enemies immediately faced a counterattack from the players.

The deadly weapon which hadn’t been used, the sacrificial artifact was deployed.

The numbers were extreme.

Gathering Power formed an attack that swept across the land, clearing out large areas.

The Tree-men rooted themselves deeply into the earth, stabilizing their domain, making it very difficult to deal with.

Because they practically shared life force.

But that difficulty referred to conventional means.

This sacrificial artifact’s Gathering Power, in hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands or more, could only trigger one strike.

Naturally, the power was tremendous; wherever it passed, flesh and bone were ground to dust, clearing out a region, acting as the Tree-men’s nemesis for such means.

Moreover, at this exit, there was also a huge mountain, an inconspicuous mountain, which now revealed its true form, it was actually a Magic Tower.

The towering Magic Tower exposed numerous gaps, windows.

A large number of high-tech thermal weapons roared away, along with numerous crystal balls where players infused spiritual power for guidance, primarily consuming spirit stones, performing combined magic explosions that directly ravaged the surrounding terrain, ravaging it, also acting as a nemesis for the Tree-men whose roots were linked into a single entity.

Of course, counteraction also implied sufficient power.

Anyway, currently the power was sufficient, and a patch of forest was cleared within the range covered by the Magic Tower.

A large number of treasure chests fell out.

However, in such a world-level battle, the system would collect the treasure chests and distribute them afterward.

The sudden changes meant that, although this was difficult, with heavy losses, they steadily expanded, and the Tree-men looking to a bright future were directly stunned.

For a time, they didn’t know what to do.

Roots entwining, shared life force, defense greatly enhanced, combat power increased by at least tenfold, but under such area attacks, and with such powerful means, were cleared out piece by piece?

Isn’t this waiting to die?

To move, to detach from the root entanglement contribution, that was possible to move.

But in this Otherworld, therefore, they were even less of opponents.

As such, quite a few still rooted themselves, but more pulled out their roots, returning to their original state, charging towards the enemy, especially those massive sacrificial artifacts capable of gathering a single destructive strike, which must be destroyed.

"At all costs, those massive things must be destroyed, we have no retreat, only by conquering here can the task rewards issued by the Master of the World be fulfilled." Several group captains of the Adventurer’s Guild, with such vision, immediately made the judgment, shouting orders loudly.

Their fame and reputation played a sufficient role at this time.

At least over half of the players in the Tree-man Mini World were willing to follow.

They charged ahead, undeterred by sacrifice, with such madness, they quickly found that there were many mechanical puppet beasts around the large sacrificial artifacts, yet they did not hesitate. Official source ıs novel·fıre·net

Because there was no other choice, the retreat was already cut off.

Those old folks, having seen the Supreme Treasures nurtured by the world, naturally deduced which earth wall maze was it.

So they couldn’t go back, they could only fight.

Even if they died, as long as they contributed, after the world battle ended, they would be rewarded according to merits, it was a system task that wouldn’t shortchange them.
