The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 74 Nemesis
The gray shadows heard the strange boy's wailing and swarmed over.

The ghost child is a strange creature. After eating He Lili's flesh, he becomes the most suitable parasite for the corpse ghost.

"Let's die together, let's die together, let's die together!"

More than a dozen weird children spoke in unison, and each of them stared at Huo Ying viciously.

Turn into a dozen zombies?
Huo Ying frowned. It was the first time he saw an infected person being parasitized by a corpse ghost. He didn't know whether He Lili's power was divided into more than ten parts after the parasitism, or there were more than ten He Lilis in the basement.

If it were someone else, He Lili's move would be indeed terrifying. After all, a good tiger cannot fight against a pack of wolves. Dozens of corpse ghosts are releasing illusions and attacking with the corpses of the infected, which can easily make people unable to take care of themselves.

Another point is that the most terrifying thing about the corpse ghosts is that they are immortal. Humans cannot create a fully enclosed wooden prison in an instant like Huo Ying did. If they cannot kill the gray shadows that are parasitic on the corpse ghosts, they will only face more violent revenge from the corpse ghosts.

However, the opponent is Huo Ying, who has Wood Release and Lightning Release. Huo Ying can create endless poplar wood flames. The corpse ghost has obvious weaknesses and is much easier to kill than He Lili, whom Huo Ying doesn't know very well.

The gray shadow crawled into the basement and became a little agitated when he saw the delicious ghost child.

Then, the gray shadow looked up and saw Huo Ying holding a heavy hammer and wearing wooden armor.

The gray shadows flying towards the strange boy were suddenly stunned. Although Huo Ying changed his weapon and no longer used the Yang Sword, the gray shadows still felt familiar.

Finally, a gray shadow began to tremble violently. It sensed the breath of its companion in the house. Its companion was deep in the basement, struggling in a small box.

It's him!

It’s this guy!

The gray shadow that reacted turned around and ran away, flying faster than when it came in. The gray shadows can communicate with each other. Huo Ying sealed the gray shadows, but he could not seal their voices. At this moment, in the basement No. 1, every gray shadow in the wooden box placed on the mirror ghost was asking for help from their companions.

In addition, this corpse ghost had also seen Huo Ying. That day, near Wang Haisheng’s house, many corpse ghosts parasitized by gray shadows wanted to snatch Huo Ying’s food. Only it was a step slower, and as a result, it survived, while the rest of its kind all disappeared.

The human in front of me, no, this guy in front of me is not a human at all, he is clearly the nemesis of the corpse ghost!
The gray shadow flew away at an even faster speed, waking up the rest of the gray shadows that were thinking. The next second, all the gray shadows chased each other and fled. They just entered the house and greeted each other, then disappeared without a trace. It was so fast that Huo Ying didn't have time to close the basement and seal these gray shadows.

"This……"

The ghost children who were transformed by He Lili were all dumbfounded at the same time. Being eaten by the ghost children, the essence of He Lili was sacrificing her own life, giving up her own life, attracting the ghost corpses to parasitize, and letting the ghost corpses use her body.

But now, the corpse ghost is gone, and He Lili can only watch her life come to an end.

"How could this happen... who on earth are you?"

With a plop, a strange child fell down, followed by the second and the third.

In the end, all the ghost children fell to the ground and became real corpses. He Lili was only one step away from transforming into more than a dozen ghost corpses.

[Progress: 59%]

Seeing the sacred tree rise, Huo Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Now, He Lili was really dead.

Worried that the strange children might have other infectious diseases, Huo Ying controlled the big tree to wrap up the strange children, and then used lightning to ignite the poplar tree. Within a few minutes, all the strange children in the basement were turned into ashes.

After getting rid of the strange child, Huo Ying burned the bodies of the larvae as well. Only then did he calm down and look at the sacred tree in his mind.

[Sacred Tree (Rooting Stage, Sprouting Stage)] [Progress: 59%]

[Range: 1000 km]

[Sacred Tree Shelter:]

【Chakra (Medium)】

[Basic attribute completion: Earth Escape (high); Lightning Escape (high); Water Escape (beginner); Fire Escape (beginner); Wind Escape (beginner); Yang Escape (weak); Yin Escape (weak); Strong Body (medium); Strong Spirit (beginner)]

[Blood Limit: Wood Release (Medium)]

The interface of the sacred tree changes. The sacred tree sprouts while taking root. The first 50% is the rooting period. After exceeding 50%, the sacred tree has an additional sprouting period.

In addition, the appearance of the sacred tree has also changed. The roots of the sacred tree have become thicker and longer. If you count carefully, there are exactly nine roots, and each root has a different color. Huo Ying can sense that the red roots correspond to the basic fire attribute, and the blue roots correspond to the water attribute. The nine roots and nine colors correspond to the chakra attributes, body, and spirit respectively.

These foundations turned into roots, but above the rhizomes, tender sprouts still emerged.

The location where the sprout grows corresponds to the extended part where the blue roots and brown roots intersect. In other words, this sprout represents the basic attributes of water and soil, and constitutes the bloodline limit of Wood Release.

Huo Ying looked carefully and found that in addition to the bud of Wood Release, there were eight other buds about to bloom. Based on this inference, the protection of the sacred tree could provide Huo Ying with nine basic attributes, and could also provide Huo Ying with nine bloodline limits that could be compatible at the same time.

"Wood Release has not changed, but the basic attributes of Earth, Lightning, Body, and Spirit have all been upgraded by one level."

Huo Ying closed his eyes, feeling his enhanced earth escape and lightning escape techniques. It seemed as if many new ways of using them had always been in Huo Ying's mind, but had been blocked by a layer of paper before. Now, this layer of paper had disappeared, the protection of the sacred tree was enhanced, and the number of ninjutsu mastered by Huo Ying also increased.

"Unfortunately, the abilities granted to me by the protection of the sacred tree were not acquired through my practice."

Huo Ying felt both excited and regretful.

What's exciting is that Huo Ying's strength has greatly improved. If He Lili is alive, even if he only has earth escape and thunder escape, Huo Ying can easily beat her to death. Even if those corpse ghosts didn't run away and merged with a dozen ghost children, they would not be enough for Huo Ying to kill.

Unfortunately, to Huo Ying, the sacred tree is like a mobile phone. It protects various jutsu, which are equivalent to one APP after another. When Huo Ying uses his abilities, it is equivalent to opening the APP with his mobile phone. If the icon is for wood jutsu, he will release wood jutsu, and if it is for earth jutsu, he will release earth jutsu. Huo Ying cannot use chakra to do anything else except what is in the icon.

Just like now, Huo Ying can use advanced escape techniques, but he cannot perform the most basic ones such as using chakra to step on water and climb trees.

"Finally, there is a glimmer of hope to complete the basics."

Huo Ying understood the newly improved Thunder Escape, then slowly closed his eyes.

Lightning Release: Chakra Mode!
The chakra in Dantian finally spread to Huo Ying's whole body, flashing and jumping under Huo Ying's skin and in every cell of Huo Ying.

Huo Ying's hair stood on end, and a layer of purple lightning armor covered his body.

But, this is more than just ninjutsu.

Now, Huo Ying has finally used the Lightning Chakra mode instilled by the sacred tree to deduce his control over chakra, instead of simply improving his control over different ninjutsu one after another under the protection of the sacred tree.
