Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Not only Chen Luo sensed the danger, but Flander and Liu Erlong also noticed something was wrong, and the three of them slowed down their pace in unison.

Chen Luo wanted to use his Divine Dragon Eyes to see the scene within the black mist, but he was unable to do so.

Sometimes he really felt that the Dragon Eye was quite useless, as it was never of any use at crucial moments.

However, he was also very clear that the effectiveness of the Dragon Eye was linked to his own strength, and it was very likely that his own strength was insufficient, which was why he could not fully unleash the power of the Dragon Eye.

Either the opponent is too powerful, so powerful that even with the Dragon Eye, he cannot see through everything.

The black mist surrounding the giant tree continued to spread, soon engulfing Chen Luo and his companions.

When Chen Luo came into contact with the black mist, he only felt a constant chilling aura coming from all around him, but there were no other unusual occurrences.

Chen Luo tried to retract his Dragon Eyes. When he looked ahead with his normal eyes, everything returned to normal. Looking at Flander and Liu Erlong beside him, it seemed that neither of them had seen the black mist.

"Seeing things too clearly makes them invisible?"

Chen Luo was puzzled, but he did not continue to use the Eye of the Divine Dragon.

As they continued forward, Chen Luo and his companions got closer and closer to the giant tree.

Only when you get closer can you see just how huge the giant tree is. It is as thick as a mountain, covered with pitch-black bark in various shapes, which look more and more like distorted human faces, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression and eeriness.

"Are there really such enormous trees in this world? It must be an illusion, but why do they look so real!"

At this point, Chen Luo was no longer able to distinguish between what was real and what was fake. If even the Dragon Eyes could not see clearly, it would be even more difficult for his ordinary eyes to judge.

Flander said, "It's unbelievable. If such strange phenomena have been occurring here all along, why hasn't the news spread? Why does it have to be the evil spirit masters who spread the word?"

Liu Erlong said, "Who knows? Anyway, it's very strange."

Chen Luo said, "Is it possible that the news can't get out because the people who came in can't get out?"

"The reason we use evil spirit masters for propaganda is because they are more likely to attract spirit masters like us?"

"And the final destination of those evil soul masters is Cuofeng City. They all come from a place called Experiment Valley and have their own numbers. They should be more than just bait."

Flander said, "All the answers are probably hidden in that giant tree. We'll find out soon enough."

Liu Erlong frowned slightly: "The road ahead is completely blocked by black vines... I feel that the black vines are more like tree roots, and those people are the nutrients for the giant tree."

As he spoke, Liu Erlong simply waved his hand, and bright flames carrying terrifying high temperatures cleared a path for them.

Wherever the flames passed, the black vines all vanished into nothingness.

Strangely, even though the black vines had been completely burned away, the sound of something burning could still be heard...

Chapter 166

Hearing the strange sound, Chen Luo and the others were somewhat surprised. Liu Erlong immediately stopped attacking, worried that he might accidentally hurt innocent people.

Chen Luo used the Dragon Eyes again. Everything around him was still covered by black mist, but he could vaguely see some real scenes.

They were currently in a huge plaza, a place they had visited before nightfall. It was in the central area of ​​Cuofeng City, but not exactly the center.

The giant tree not far away still stands, and nothing is burning around it.

After looking around for a moment, Chen Luo immediately realized the source of the strange sound.

It's those black wisps of smoke that are burning!

Chen Luo noticed that the black mist was slowly thinning, and the surrounding things were gradually becoming clearer.

Looking around again, Chen Luo said to Liu Erlong, "Erlong, continue clearing, but don't keep going forward. Clear the black vines within a radius of 300 meters at most."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong immediately nodded: "Okay!"

Then the flames reappeared, continuing to engulf the black vines.

At this moment, Chen Luo was still in the state of the Divine Dragon's Eye. The burning of those black vines seemed to represent the burning of the black mist, and everything around him became clearer and clearer.

At first, he could only see a little bit of the square and its surroundings, but as the black mist burned, Chen Luo could see much farther.

Even the black mist surrounding the giant tree had thinned considerably, and everything was moving towards greater clarity.

Just then, an aged voice suddenly rang out: "Welcome to Cuofeng City."

"The divine tree will grant you everything you desire; just enjoy it to the fullest!"

Chen Luo immediately looked in the direction of the sound, but what he saw was a giant tree in front of him.

"The Divine Tree?"

Chen Luo wasn't the only one who heard the aged voice; Flander and Liu Erlong both looked at the divine tree ahead with some surprise.

The sound came from the so-called sacred tree.

Just as Chen Luo and the others were surprised, the divine tree spoke again.

"Which of you is named Flander?"

Flander was completely stunned; he never expected the divine tree to call out his name.

Flander stepped forward calmly: "I am Flander. What kind of tricks are you playing?"

"Whoosh!!!!"

Almost the instant Flander acknowledged it, a black vine flew toward Flander at an extremely fast speed, but was ultimately caught tightly by Liu Erlong.

"Playing tricks!"

Liu Erlong let out a cold snort, followed by a terrifying burst of high temperature. The black vines quickly burned, and the flames spread rapidly towards the source of the black vines.

"Snapped!"

The black vines broke off on their own, thus preventing a potential fire.

"You guys are so short-tempered, you don't know how to appreciate or enjoy art at all!"

The aged voice carried a hint of anger, followed by even more black vines attacking Chen Luo and his group.

Liu Erlong merely frowned slightly, and then an extremely powerful aura erupted from her body. Flames blazed and spread outwards. The black vines that flew towards her were burned to ashes the moment they came into contact with the flames. Moreover, the flames were extremely adhesive and continued to spread along the black vines until they finally disappeared as the black vines broke off on their own.

"This is terrible! Fire really is the worst thing in the world!"

"They'll destroy all my work!!!"

The aged voice grew increasingly angry, louder and louder, bordering on hysterical.

At this moment, Chen Luo and the others also saw nine dimly lit soul rings slowly emerging around the giant divine tree, their colors barely discernible.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Title Douluo!

A slender figure gradually emerged before the divine tree. The nine spirit rings surrounding the divine tree gradually disappeared and then appeared around the slender figure.

Upon closer inspection, it was an old man with white hair and beard. Apart from his somewhat normal aged face, the rest of his body was covered by thick black tree bark, making him extremely eerie.

When they saw the old man, both Chen Luo and Flander were taken aback.

Que Zeyu?

No, it's not Que Zeyu, it just has the same physical characteristics as Que Zeyu.

When the old man appeared, Chen Luo and the others simultaneously sensed dozens of powerful auras approaching them. The weakest of them seemed to have soul power fluctuations around the level of a Soul King, while the strongest even possessed soul power fluctuations of a Soul Douluo.

The evil spirit masters finally couldn't hold back any longer and made their move!

Even in the face of such a situation, Chen Luo and his group remained remarkably calm.

What are those evil spirit masters who are on their way? They're just a bunch of cannon fodder!

What are these Title Douluos in front of me? I'll be able to tear them apart with my bare hands in a moment!

"Sun and Moon Brilliant Golden Turn!"

Chen Luo's slightly deep voice rang out, and the next second, an incomparably dazzling golden light flashed, dispelling all the surrounding darkness.

Within that golden light, Golden Luo Sanpao quietly appeared, and his body rapidly changed, growing larger and stronger, becoming more perfect, and finally transforming into a five-clawed golden dragon nearly fifty meters long!

That's right, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon has grown bigger again. When Chen Luo and the other two used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill last time, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was only about forty meters long, but this time it has increased to fifty meters.

The only change was that Liu Erlong truly entered the Soul Douluo level and obtained an 80,000-year soul ring.

The enormous five-clawed golden dragon exuded an extremely sacred aura, causing all the eerie and chilling things around it to stay away.

During the formation of the five-clawed golden dragon, the strange old man tried to stop it, but he could not budge it in the slightest. It seemed that when Chen Luo uttered the words "The sun and moon shine brightly, the golden dragon turns," it meant that a powerful rule was in operation, which the old man was far from able to stop. Even a simple influence would be difficult to achieve.

After the five-clawed golden dragon appeared, all the evil spirit masters arrived, and a great battle ensued.

"Lightning Barrier!!!"

Chen Luo immediately used one of his 100,000-year-old soul skills. Golden light shone from the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and golden lightning burst forth, instantly forming a huge barrier that enveloped everyone.

The evil soul master whose level was lower than Soul Saint died instantly. The remaining Soul Saint and Soul Douluo were trembling uncontrollably. The next moment, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a bucket completely took away the Soul Saint evil soul master. The Soul Douluo was terrified and tried to escape, but as soon as he moved, he was pressed to the ground by a huge dragon claw and turned into a pile of minced meat.

Cannon fodder is cannon fodder; no matter how many there are, it's useless.

The whole process took only a few breaths; the strange old man didn't even have time to stop it before everything was already set in stone.

Chapter 167 Strange

The situation changed so quickly that even the eerie old man, whose entire body was covered in withered tree bark, found it difficult to accept for a moment.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

The eerie old man let out a frenzied voice. He should have been in control of everything, but in an instant, things spiraled out of his control.

"How could two Soul Douluos and one Soul Saint possess such a powerful aura?! This is impossible!"

The eerie old man shouted frantically as he attacked.

Suddenly, all five of his spirit rings—first to fifth—flashed brightly, and he transformed into a tree-man, his wrinkled old face covered in tree bark. Then, the eerie old man's aura was greatly amplified, and his sixth spirit ring lit up. Countless black vines surged out from the divine tree behind him, heading towards the five-clawed golden dragon.

Faced with countless black vines, the five-clawed golden dragon did not retreat but advanced, charging towards the strange old man.

Just as the vines were about to touch the five-clawed golden dragon, golden lightning suddenly erupted from its body, blasting the black vines into ashes.

The eerie old man had stopped uttering his manic cries and seemed to have entered a state of calm. Facing the menacing five-clawed golden dragon, he kept retreating until he finally merged with the divine tree.

The black vines quickly coalesced, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into extremely ugly giant snakes, opening their blood-red mouths to bite at the five-clawed golden dragon.

"Thunder Explosion!!!"
