Chapter 379: Chapter 379

The giant tree towered to the sky, with a central line where decaying bones and lush branches intertwined, blood serving as dye to splash out a bizarre picture.

Yet, the massive tree body, as large as a city, surfaced with a malevolent human face, which had a bright, gaping hole smashed through the forehead by a fist, surrounded by cracks as if slashed by blades and axes. The pervasive violation of causal law rendered it impossible to heal.

Disgust, anger, hatred...

All sorts of emotions made Kroog overwhelmingly furious, clearly a forbidden creation of time, yet manipulated by numerous emotions, revealing its jealousy towards Chu Yi.

But the next moment, a hint of clarity surged in its mind, and hundreds of vertical pupils blinked simultaneously on the broken tree body, staring at the web-like causal lines around, turning it into a puppet by them.

Since the beginning, as Chu Yi was replaced in causality, he simultaneously sowed reverse causal lines, infiltrating backward. Under the push of the cosmos, Kroog was unaware, full of loopholes.

"Not good, am I being controlled? How unfair fate is!"

Kroog gritted its teeth to pieces, realizing this level of causality manipulation is not simple, even it got caught without noticing.

Instead of defending, it starts feeling jealous of Chu Yi.

The immortal birds swooped over, landing on Kroog’s massive trunk, self-detonating one after another. Intense flames spread wildly, igniting the branches, and Kroog’s entire body was engulfed by fire.

Chu Yi’s righteous iron fist fell, with the punch marks like pouring rain, yet skipping the hitting process, and the damage stacked and exploded on Kroog.

Ignoring time, ignoring space, even if Kroog jumped out of the book, Chu Yi punched it back.

"Hahaha, old thief Kroog, aren’t you very arrogant?"

"You dog of a thing, you dare to fight me?"

Chu Yi grew more excited the more he punched, his punches landing solidly, chasing and beating Kroog, his expression turning more frenzied.

He laughed freely. Under the urging of ten thousand spells, his body, as magnificent as a deity, surfaced with scarlet lines, the right draconic dusk wing spawning flesh, tearing open greedy mouths, while the left draconic wing coiled a blood dragon, with draconic eyes blinking, day and night cycling.

"Old dog, beat you to death!"

Two out of ten fierce ones were deployed, perfectly merging with Chu Yi in Xingtian state, the speed so swift it nearly twisted into a streak of color. Kroog’s massive body burst open into hundreds of holes simultaneously, spewing dazzling fireworks.

"Young whipper-snapper! You have no idea who you’re up against..."

Kroog roared, its bruised and beaten face shredded, speaking stubbornly.

"Against you? I’ll kill you!"

Chu Yi gritted his teeth, with more anger in his heart, hitting even more ruthlessly, the drake wing lashing out, the gluttonous fangs parasitizing Kroog’s bones, devouring everything.

He had pledged allegiance to the Enchanting Demon Royal Court, using his talent and trivial efforts, finally earning the good life of sponging off a Wealthy Lady, planning to relax with Bika in the next life.

But it turns out, there are bad guys in the Royal Court!

With an angry roar from Chu Yi, blood gushed wildly, and a human-hide peeled off, fluttering like a crimson cape.

After receiving an infusion of countless souls, Chu Yi temporarily elevated his rank, the Radiant Moon-level aura growing even hotter, climbing step by step.

No matter how you look at it, this was one of the most terrifying killer moves.

Kroog was pummeled into a precarious breath state, frequently on the brink of death. Luckily, it was an ancient time’s creation; no matter how heaven-defying Chu Yi was, he couldn’t completely demolish a piece of the past.

Destroying it would be like destroying a past world!

But soon, Kroog’s expression turned to joy.

Locked by the Treasure Vault Key in this space-time, its future form, causal divine power, etc., hadn’t been utilized.

In terms of mechanism, it wasn’t inferior, maybe even stronger.

With mighty power gathering unto itself, it shouted out, obliterating the gluttonous fangs splitting the flesh from the bones, the birds of flame burning its branches, the remnants of causal punishment on the trunk!

The wind and clouds surged, transforming into a wrathful sea, everything took on a murky yellow hue; the entire heavenly realm fell into a time stop state.

Time surged, sprawling into a tributary, from which poured out countless strangeness, adoring the old king Kroog.

Kroog showed no expression, pulling apart a bloody crack on the tree body, climbing out an infant as large as a mountain, with pitch-black eyes and lips exposing fangs, eerie and terrifying.

This is one of Kroog’s futures, reincarnated into a sinister infant.

Under this future incarnation, its old wounds healed, the aura escalating rapidly, greedy pupils firmly aimed at the immobilized Chu Yi, showing interest.

"I must admit, you are the most potent and deeply blessed among the river carp I’ve witnessed."

"Also, the most hopeful candidate to escape."

With the advent of human qualities, the sinister infant naturally developed emotions.

It spoke indifferently, as if regarding Chu Yi as meat on the chopping board, preparing to package him as ingredients.

Yet no matter how Chu Yi struggled, ultimately he was the master’s meal, food on the plate.

Kroog expressed sympathy.

Like sympathizing with a pig or a dog being cooked by the roadside.

This was causality set by a royal legend within the court, no matter how turbulent the process, the outcome was the same.

It worked the Royal Court’s ingredient industry, farming multiple worlds, where outstanding talents and spiritual lands existed, naturally, some noticed the ascension was a deception, but no matter how they resisted, they couldn’t escape their fate of being eaten.

While Kroog was manipulating causality, a sliver of obstruction arose.

It looked curiously at the time-stopped Chu Yi, a hint of rounded, flawless aura leaked out.

Just a hint, and the area within a hundred miles filled with moonlight, solidifying into frost.

"This, what is this..."

Kroog suddenly felt a bad omen, staring at Chu Yi’s towering shadow faintly trembling, utterly confused, immediately realizing:

"You damn pretended?"

Chu Yi couldn’t hold back anymore, twisting his body, shattering the time’s confinement, a dandelion ball bead emerging on his palm, revealing a villainous smile.

According to the Book of Destiny, Kroog was fated to die; the most crucial part for Chu Yi was to hold back his laughter.

He not only leveraged the cosmos to drive progress, creating Xingtian Lv1, but also elevated his rank through it, refining the Moon Gods’ Holy Relic.

With his rank skyrocketing, Kroog naturally couldn’t suppress Chu Yi.

With emotions, Kroog grew exasperated, vaguely uneasy, lacking the previous confidence it had; it was utterly tortured by Chu Yi.

What was this pup up to now! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novęlfire.net

Chu Yi sneered coldly, an agate floating at his fingertips, only the size of a pigeon’s egg.

This was essence refined from primordial time, when Chu Yi had once released the Golden Feast and slain the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree with it.

Now, wielding a bronze spear, obtaining another drop, it was truly by chance.

Chu Yi grinned wickedly, pressing this drop of blood into the Clock Eye, the whispered murmurs like an end-of-day symphony reverberating, flashing past pieces of ancient bronze era civilization.

After enduring a period with no sense of existence, the Clock Eye finally erupted dramatically.

With Chu Yi’s rank, there was no necessity to construct a Life Chart of ancient one’s skin, fully capable of bearing the mighty power brought forth by the Deep Red Blood.

At the center of the Clock Eye, the twelve-eyed Dragon of the End rose, staring at a bead, reflecting the past.

From within the bead, a figure of peerless elegance stepped forth.

With Chu Yi’s eyesight, he first noticed the bare, jade-like feet.
