Chapter 406: An Attempt At Control

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The rotten corpses sank into the ground, leaving the bones behind. The stench of decay lingered in the air.

The endless darkness began to dissipate like dust in the air.

After a while, the darkness thinned and revealed the ruins around the tree. Everything had been reduced to dust and rubble.

Su Wan was frozen on the spot. The power was simply terrifying. ‘Is this what the King of Decay can do?’

According to the myths and legends, the power of the demons became stronger when they were closer to the abyss. How would the world survive if the King of Decay appeared at the peak of his power?

Xu Yuan glanced at Scarlen, who was still standing in front of the tree.

His body glowed with a faint light and blocked the corrosive power of the tree. Although his body was no longer decaying, he was enduring too much pain.

The power of the tree was too overwhelming. Maybe Scarlen would be swallowed by it.

Scarlen didn’t even seem conscious at this point. The dim light around his body began to turn brighter, but he was still far from gaining control of the Dark Demonic Tree.

Xu Yuan stared at him gravely. He could sense the tree’s power trying to devour everything around. Scarlen’s power wouldn’t be enough to stop it.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

If the Dark Demonic Tree kept this up, it wouldn’t be long before the King of Decay gained control of the main plane. When that time came, none of them would be left alive.

Xu Yuan stepped closer. The statue of the Ancient god in his hand glowed brighter.

The aura of decay formed a thick barrier around the tree. Xu Yuan sensed the excitement of the god within the statue. Xu Yuan held the statue up high and approached the Dark demonic Tree.

The tree was still moving eerily, but it hadn’t regained its consciousness.

The King of Decay hadn’t gained complete control of the tree yet.

As Xu Yuan stepped closer, the faint light from the statue neutralized the power of decay. It canceled out the corrosive aura of the tree.

The twisted arms moved frantically. The skulls in the trunk seemed to be crying out.

Xu Yuan approached Scarlen. Scarlen’s aura was very weak, but he was trying his best to fight the tree’s magic.

Scarlen kept pouring the dark energy into the tree. His body became translucent. The light from the statue radiated out and enveloped Scarlen.

Scarlen slowly regained control. The oppressive aura no longer had an effect on him.

“Your Majesty, the power contained in the tree is too overwhelming. I… I don’t think we can control it.” Scarlen felt ashamed of his inadequacy.

Scarlen was one of the strongest heroes they had. Still, his power was not enough. The difference between Scarlen and the tree’s power was that of a child and a dragon! He felt a little defeated.

“Don’t worry,” said Xu Yuan. “I’ll take care of it. You go now and guard the area outside the boundary of the tree. Don’t let any demons get close.” The power of the King of Decay wasn’t something ordinary Lords or heroes could resist.

Scarlen disappeared and reappeared outside the boundary of the tree.

Xu Yuan stared at the tree in front of him. It was as though a dormant volcano was about to erupt with fury.

Xu Yuan was impressed. He didn’t care to fight the weak. What he wanted was a challenge like this!

There were many demons guarding the tree. The King of Decay must have set this trap.

He gripped the statue in his hand tightly and pressed it against the trunk of the tree. There was a dull sound. The statue glowed dazzlingly. It was as though gasoline had been splashed on a raging fire.

The light enveloped the trunk of the tree. The statue began to rapidly devour the power of the tree. The decaying mist started to dissipate.

The power of the King of Decay was shaken. The branches waved vigorously as though they sensed the danger from the statue.

The nearest branch swooped down toward Xu Yuan. It whooshed through the air. Xu Yuan ignored it and pressed the statue harder against the trunk.

The trunk began to wobble. Xu Yuan let his dark energy surge, and he withstood the force of the evil aura. It was true that he might not be able to fight the King of Decay if he appeared, but the rules prevented him from appearing for now. The tree wasn’t entirely under the King of Decay’s control.

Xu Yuan formed a thick force field around him and pressed the statue to the tree trunk.

Countless ripples appeared in the air above the tree. Its aura became frantic. It devoured everything around it with great speed, but the range of its power was becoming smaller and smaller..
