The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 117 Sacrifice and Choice

"But it has already agreed to sacrifice itself for me," Li Xun said leisurely.

"Sacrifice?" Sword Douluo was taken aback, then silently withdrew his hand from Li Xun's shoulder. "I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?"

Dugu Bo picked at his ear, looking at Li Xun with a face full of questions.

"I mean, I don't need to hunt soul beasts, and I don't need to worry about being overwhelmed by the power. This Blue Silver King has already agreed to sacrifice itself to me."

Li Xun, fearing the two might not hear him clearly, deliberately paused each word, trying his best to enunciate clearly so that his voice could reach their ears.

"."

"Hiss~"

Dugu Bo gasped, glancing at Li Xun before turning to Sword Douluo: "Sword Elder, did you understand?"

"..." Sword Douluo paused for a moment and nodded: "You've already made preparations for this?"

Everyone on the continent knows about the sacrifice of soul beasts, and Tang Hao is a beneficiary of this practice. However, very few people can enjoy such treatment, and they can only look on with envy.

"It's not that far. I only thought of it when I came back from Soto City," Li Xun chuckled.

"Since there's no danger on this trip, why are you making us lead the team? Is it really to guard against Tang Hao?" Sword Douluo couldn't stand Li Xun's Versailles-like appearance any longer and slapped Li Xun on the head.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he quickly moved closer to Li Xun. He had also been looking for a reason to teach Li Xun a lesson for a long time.

"Defending against Tang Hao is one aspect, but the main purpose is to have you two deter the Blue Silver King."

Seeing Dugu Bo excitedly approaching, Li Xun quickly covered his head and took two steps back: "Even if I'm incredibly eloquent, I can't persuade the Blue Silver King to willingly sacrifice himself!"

"You two are key factors in the success of my plan."

"Well, in that case, I won't stop you." Sword Douluo nodded in satisfaction. Since he had already made his move, he was prepared to let the matter drop.

"Alright, you pass, kid." Dugu Bo reluctantly lowered his raised hand and looked at Sword Douluo and Li Xun: "But is there really no risk in sacrificing a soul beast?"

Sword Douluo shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

"It's alright. Since the soul beast is willingly sacrificing itself, what risks could there be?" Li Xun quickly reassured them when he saw that the two didn't understand.

Li Xun handed the potted plant to Dugu Bo: "Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Dugu, this is my first time accepting a sacrifice, and I don't know what will happen next."

"If anything unexpected happens, don't panic. Trust me, I'll be fine."

Dugu Bo finally found his chance. His eyes lit up, and he slapped Li Xun on the forehead: "You brat, don't act all innocent after getting the benefit. Do you think you can find a second soul beast to sacrifice for you?"

"Hehe, not necessarily," Li Xun rubbed his forehead, which had been slapped, and chuckled. He turned and walked towards Blue Silver King: "Senior Blue Silver King, let's begin."

Seeing Li Xun's resolute expression, the Blue Silver King remained silent for a moment before saying, "Then you must hold on."

After he finished speaking, the ten-meter-tall Blue Silver King instantly burst into blue flames.

The flames were exceptionally beautiful yet utterly devoid of heat, like celestial light illuminating the world. Even seasoned figures like Sword Douluo and Dugu Bo were captivated by this magnificent spectacle.

But then they discovered that their movements seemed to be restricted.

This restriction is not an act of coercion by the strong against the weak, but rather a product of the laws of nature.

The two never expected that the sacrifice of a soul beast could generate such a tremendous power of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the power of this rule was not strong, and the two felt that they could break free as long as they fought back.

Li Xun watched as the burning Blue Silver King moved its fingers, and felt reassured.

It seems that 100,000 years is indeed a threshold for soul beasts.

The Blue Silver King took one last look at the Blue Silver Emperor and the people of this land: "Human, I hope you will keep your promise."

As it finished speaking, the Blue Silver King's branch gradually deepened in color, transforming into a deep blue crystal, and a continuous stream of power emanated from its body, merging into the blue flames.

With the help of the flames, the blue flames burned even brighter. When they reached their maximum expansion, they instantly spread outwards, forming a blue halo in the air.

Li Xun looked at the Blue Silver King and nodded solemnly: "Rest assured, I will keep my promise."

A promise was received.

A pale blue soul bone instantly entered Li Xun's head, and the Blue Silver King's body instantly turned into dust, leaving only a seed in the original place.

The blue halo suddenly contracted and enveloped Li Xun.

pain!

A sharp pain shot from his spine to the top of his head, and Li Xun couldn't help but groan, but unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood.

As soon as the blue halo descended, he felt immense pressure.

The Blue Silver King's immense energy had nowhere to go, and it was destroying every inch of his skin and internal organs. Li Xun could clearly feel the blood slowly flowing out.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Li Xun opened his eyes, and because of the blood, the world he saw was pitch red, and he had also lost his hearing.

Seeing his arms gradually swelling, Li Xun hardened his heart and poured the excess energy into them.

Because the energy was so immense, the muscles and skin on his arms instantly turned into minced meat and scattered outwards.

"Xiao Xun!!"

"You brat!" Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, and jumped to Li Xun's side.

"His body is currently overly dense with energy, what should we do?" Dugu Bo asked Sword Douluo with a look of fear.

"." Sword Douluo frowned deeply and remained silent, but the bulging veins on his hands revealed his unease at that moment.

"Now that the power is already within him, all we can do is pray for him." After saying this, Sword Douluo slowly closed his eyes.

The absorption is still ongoing.

Li Xun was now numb with pain; his left leg, like his arms, had become bare white bone. Fortunately, his right leg remained intact thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

Li Xun continuously channeled the energy within his body, while also channeling excess energy into the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg, hoping to use its self-healing ability to protect his existing physical body and heart.

Fortunately, after sacrificing the energy of his arms and legs, the remaining energy of the Blue Silver King within him did not continue to have a greater impact on him.

He didn't know how much time had passed. When the excess energy stabilized, Li Xun began to try to mobilize this power to repair his body.

Sword Douluo had never imagined that a junior would cause him such torment. Every minute and every second seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Dugu Bo's anxious pacing was also irritating him. He was now really tempted to grab his sword and chop something.

"It's starting to heal!" Suddenly, Dugu Bo's voice brought him back to reality.

Seeing Li Xun's wounds slowly healing and his spirit rings gradually turning black, Sword Douluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"This brat needs to be taught a lesson!" Sword Douluo slowly revealed a smile, glancing at Dugu Bo beside him with a look of inner joy.

"Cough, it's time to teach him a lesson. Every time it's so close, how many more scares can we take at our age!" Dugu Bo said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with a smile.

Li Xun's ears twitched, and he involuntarily slowed down the process of channeling energy within his body: "Damn it, we've angered everyone."
