The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 376 I am a human!

Tianxing City has changed a lot since Li Xun last visited; there are collapsed buildings everywhere in the city.

In some places, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them ruins.

Perhaps because it's currently the time when spirit beasts are attacking the city, the people inside aren't as apathetic as they were last time I visited.

One by one, they were covered in dust and dirt, preparing for a defensive offensive.

Everything is for survival.

Li Xun observed for a moment and found that although the soul beasts' attacks looked fierce, they did not cause any substantial damage.

Relieved, he quickly went to the place where porridge was being made under the city wall.

This is where the soldiers' meals are supplied.

At this time, a row of large pots were laid out, numbering as many as forty, and each pot was five meters deep.

"Add another ten catties of rice to each pot and cook the porridge a little thicker."

A burly man covered in dust shouted at the woman who was stirring the pot.

"Head of the stove, we're running low on food. If we keep eating like this, we won't last more than a few days," a woman said, looking distressed.

"Damn it, we're not even sure if we can hold out tomorrow, let alone talk about how many days it will take. Everyone needs to be well-fed to have the strength to fight the soul beasts. Give me more rice!"

The burly man cursed under his breath.

Upon hearing this, the woman trembled, said nothing, and hurriedly called for people to fetch bags of grain from the storeroom.

"Excuse me, sir, could you tell me where the people from the Spirit Hall are?"

After the big man finished speaking, Li Xun stepped forward.

Upon hearing this, the burly man looked in the direction of the voice and saw a well-dressed young man with a clean face standing behind him.

He felt a chill run down his spine, but forced a smile: "This Soul Master must have just arrived from out of town?"

"Yes, I heard about the situation in Tianxing City, so I came to come and see for myself." Li Xun nodded.

The burly man understood.

Given Tianxing City's current predicament, and the fact that the young man opposite him clearly had no experience in battle, he could only be a Soul Master who had just entered the city.

And its level is not low.

The area outside is now teeming with spirit beasts; without special abilities, you might not even be able to see the city gates.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, a few days ago the Pope of the Spirit Hall was defeated by a man in black. Everyone thought she was dead, and the titles of the Spirit Hall also disappeared."

"But then the Pope suddenly appeared from outside the city and lured the man in black away."

The burly man swallowed hard, a look of fear on his face, as he recalled the great battle that had erupted above Tianxing City: "Who knew that just when we thought things were over, the beast tide came."

"What's strange is that although this group of soul beasts clearly has the ability to break through Tianxing City, they have never launched a full-scale attack. They just keep surrounding it and occasionally send out some soul beasts to attack."

Upon hearing this, Li Xun fell into deep thought.

"When I came in, I didn't see the Pope or the elders of the Spirit Hall defending against the spirit beasts. Have they not returned yet?"

The burly man's face betrayed a mixture of despair and resentment: "We've probably been abandoned by them."

When the Star Luo Empire surrendered, they thought peace would come, but who knew that the Spirit Hall would summon spirit beasts again.

Moreover, in the subsequent continuous battles against the spirit beasts, the number of casualties was even greater than that of the Spirit Hall at that time.

They now hate the Spirit Hall to the core.

However, to survive, they still have to rely on the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall.

"I understand." Li Xun nodded thoughtfully.

"Sir, now that you've come to Tianxing City, could you perhaps offer us some assistance?"

The burly man's face held an incongruous air of hope and obsequiousness.

Now, Tianxing City needs to win over every single force it has.

"Now that I'm here, I won't just sit idly by." Li Xun slowly ascended into the air.

Bibi Dong and the group of powerful figures from the Spirit Hall are now nowhere to be found. If she abandons Tianxing City, the people here can only wait to die.

"Thank you, sir." The burly man's face lit up with joy when he saw that Li Xun could actually fly.

This is a privilege reserved for those with titles. With such a powerful figure present, even if they cannot relieve Tianxing City's predicament, they will alleviate some of the pressure on Tianxing City.

Li Xun flew towards the sky above Tianxing City, and in a short while, the entire city came into view.

At this moment, countless soul beasts, each the size of a grain of rice, surrounded the city, launching sporadic attacks.

"Is this some kind of spirit beast controlling a horde to force Bibi Dong out?"

Soul beasts under 100,000 years old have limited intelligence and rarely suppress their bloodthirsty nature, thus displaying such a disciplined side.

The fact that these spirit beasts are so restrained must be suspicious.

One after another, clones split off from Li Xun's body and rushed towards various locations in Tianxing City.

Once they have all arrived at the designated location.

A pale blue light flashed in Li Xun's left eye, and a sky-blue beam of light pierced the sky: "Evil Emperor's External Soul Bone Skill, Eye of Heaven."

As the blue beam of light disappeared, thunder suddenly roared in the once clear sky, followed by rolling dark clouds surging in from the horizon.

In just a few breaths, the entire area was plunged into darkness.

The humans and spirit beasts who were fighting were taken aback by this sudden sight, and even the intensity of their attacks weakened a bit.

They all looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the dark cloud, and then the crack grew larger and larger.

A pupil as large as the city of Tianxing was displayed in the eyes of countless people.

Stunned, trembling.

The humans and spirit beasts present stood frozen in place, their bodies trembling uncontrollably at the sight of such a bizarre scene.

The giant eye in the sky kept scanning, and information from the field kept flowing into Li Xun's mind.

He clapped his hands, and his soul power began to surge: "Wood Release: Descend upon the World of Flower Trees."

There are now many soul beasts besieging Tianxing City, and Li Xun is preparing to unleash his full power.

As soon as the words were spoken, the ground outside Tianxing City suddenly began to tremble.

At this moment, both the humans inside the city and the spirit beasts outside the city were affected by the earthquake.

One roar after another, one scream after another.

The people and animals who had just stood frozen in place staggered, almost unable to stand in terror: "Earthquake!!"

Compared to humans, wild animals are more sensitive to disasters, especially since this disaster was specifically targeting them.

Almost immediately after the earthquake, the soul beasts began to flee.

Suddenly, towering trees rose from the ground outside the city, making the earth seem to churn like an earth dragon.

Some soul beasts were unable to dodge in time and were immediately sent into the air, looking down at the earth in terror.

Some of the more unlucky soul beasts were instantly torn to pieces by the vines and leaves that surged forth.

The spirit beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions, some even launching frenzied attacks on their surroundings.

But soon some clever soul beasts reacted and ran towards Tianxing City, which was unaffected.

They prepared to hide inside the city.

At the same time, the clone that had been prepared in advance made its move.

The latest novel is first published here!

They were seen in various locations throughout Tianxing City, simultaneously activating their ninjutsu: "Wood Release: Tree Barrier".

As chakra was channeled, walls of wood made of countless tree vines rose from the earth and continued to extend upwards.

It stopped at a height of seventy or eighty meters, completely surrounding Tianxing City.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, and that countless plants that seemed to have come alive behind them were also blocking their way back.

Groups of spirit beasts launched an attack on the wooden wall.

Rumble—

Beams of energy struck the wooden wall in front, while innate attacks hurtled towards the flowering trees behind.

The scene was magnificent and extraordinary.

"I thought it was the human woman who would appear, but I didn't expect other powerful figures to intervene."

A middle-aged man in black with long hair suddenly appeared in front of Li Xun.

"I'm somewhat familiar with this skill of yours, but it shouldn't be on you." Di Tian looked up at the giant eye in the sky.

He had fought against the Evil Eye Tyrant and had a deep memory of that powerful guy.

Di Tian did not believe that the other party had already perished.

Because the energy emanating from the young human in front of him was simply not capable of killing the Evil Emperor.

Skill information is as vital as a person's life, so Li Xun did not answer Di Tian's question:

"You're letting these soul beasts slowly shrink humanity's living space, instead of killing everyone all at once. Are you trying to force the Pope out?"

"That's right." Di Tian made no attempt to hide it: "But now you're going to ruin my plans."

"I'll give you a chance. Stop now and I'll let you go."

"What if you slaughter this city and Bibi Dong doesn't even show up?" Li Xun was unfazed by Di Tian's arrogance and snapped his fingers lightly.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the dense trees standing outside Tianxing City blossomed.

One by one, huge flower buds opened, and wisps of mist spread outward from the flower centers, instantly shrouding the area outside Tianxing City in a fog.

Some low-level soul beasts that absorbed the mist experienced an instant brain freeze.

The high-level soul beasts, meanwhile, staggered and tried to find a safe place.

Looking down from high above, the soul beasts lay unconscious on the ground like dominoes.

"Humans can hunt soul beasts, and soul beasts can naturally retaliate by killing humans; this is the law of nature."

Di Tian narrowed his eyes upon seeing the scene on the ground: "It seems you're not prepared to accept my proposal?"

"I'm a human!" Li Xun grinned.

"Fine, since you insist on interfering, then leave your life behind." Di Tian's eyes widened suddenly, and he disappeared in a flash of silver light.

When they reappeared, they were already behind Li Xun.

Before he could even launch an attack, he realized that the person in front of him had vanished.

"Spatial skills?" Di Tian's gaze sharpened, his mind racing. "Did you capture Xiong Jun?"

"Guess?" Li Xun did not answer, but activated the teleportation of the Soft Bone Rabbit's right arm bone, moving away into the distance.

This place is too close to Tianxing City; if the two of them were to fight, it could destroy the entire city.

When had Di Tian ever been mocked like this? A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly gave chase.

Even if this young human wasn't the ferocious beast that captured Xiong Jun, he was definitely involved.

With Li Xun and Di Tian gone, the clone on the ground received the news.

They removed the wooden walls and then used Wood Release to gather the soul beasts together, forming huge cells.

These soul beasts have now become a problem. Although killing them can relieve one's anger, such a large-scale death of soul beasts will inevitably lead to a shortage of soul rings for soul masters.

The only option is to imprison him for now and see what happens next.

The residents and soldiers of Tianxing City finally realized what was happening and hurriedly looked outside the city, only to see that the once ferocious soul beasts were now fast asleep.

Despite the plants being roughly moved, they showed no sign of waking up.

"Are we... saved?" someone murmured, looking out of the city.

"We're saved! We're saved!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

This seemed to light a fuse, and cheers erupted like a tsunami throughout Tianxing City.

Li Xun's clone ignored all of this because he found several soul bones from the soul beast's corpse.

The scale of his spell was too large; even without targeting the soul beasts, it inevitably caused some casualties.

"This is the perfect opportunity to fulfill my promise to Shui Bing'er and the others regarding the soul bones."

After placing the soul bone, the clone began to set up the Thunder God's Mark.

Later, he needs to bring Ning Fengzhi to see how Tianxing City will be dealt with.
