The Guqila demon tree connects the upper and lower nightmares, harvesting humanity everywhere and dragging all the innocent people who have strayed into the nightmare into the lower level. Among the monsters of the Disillusionment level, it is also one of the top ones.
It has been entrenched on the Dust Bridge for many years. With its ability to reproduce infinitely and produce offspring, it once left the Wing Association helpless. After all, even if the demon tree itself was killed, it could still use the surviving offspring to quickly take root and sprout and come back.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Winged Association was not a monolithic entity. Deploying only two or three members of the council would only be enough to suppress the demon tree, leading to a stalemate. To completely destroy it, a combined force of five or more Disillusionment-level experts would be necessary.
However, in this nightmare world, in addition to the demon tree, there are more than one monsters that pose a threat to human cities. Other important secret realms such as Longci Lake and Moon Palace also require Disillusionment-level guards, and it is difficult to directly transfer them here.
But at this moment, under the huge threat of the Green Ring Eye to human cities, most of the elite members of the Three Councils were dispatched, and even the council members guarding other secret realms were transferred here, so that they could wipe out the endless level Green Ring Eye in one fell swoop.
Burning and destroying the Guqila Demon Tree is only the first step to attract the Green Ring Eye.
Dong and Fulei sat at the southeast node of the Zhijian formation. The aura of their whole bodies echoed with the node under their feet, circulating endlessly, and they silently watched the Guqila demon tree being surrounded by powerful enemies in the distance.
Among the powerful humans in the Wing Association, the two of them were not ranked high, so they were assigned to sit at the nodes of the formation. Those who directly took action to encircle and suppress the Guqila Demon Tree were all the top five powerful people in the association.
Among them, the first speaker of the parliament, the judge of the parliament, and the grand knight of the Knight Alliance are all powerful people at the peak of the disillusionment level, and are only a step away from the endless level. Under the full force of such levels of powerhouses, the Guqila demon tree, even if it is also at the peak of the disillusionment level, will only end up being annihilated.
At the moment when the human warriors collided with the Guqila demon tree, large tracts of forest began to collapse and disappear. The nightmare derived from the demon tree was gradually dissipating, and its sub-bodies were also collapsing one by one. A large number of devoured vengeful spirits gushed out, completely submerging the figures of the human warriors in the black torrent of vengeful spirits.
But it didn't work.
No matter how hideous and terrifying the torrent of resentful spirits looked, the powerful Disillusionment-level warriors remained unmoved under such an impact. Among them, the Grand Knight Commander, who was at the peak of the Disillusionment-level, even raised the triangular sword in his hand high up, activating the extraordinary talent that had been mutated three times in the temple. A blood-red sword light hundreds of meters long instantly cut through the space, splitting the torrent of resentful spirits, and went upstream to cut the deep body of the demon tree.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
The body of the Guqila demon tree was directly injured by the blood-red sword light, and it cried like a baby. If a weaker person heard such a strange cry, he would probably fall into a deep nightmare and be unable to extricate himself.
When everyone present were without exception the top elites of humanity, powerful beings of the Disillusionment level, they simply felt a stinging pain in their ears and completely blocked out the crying.
After the Grand Knight Commander launched several more slashes of sword light, the torrent of vengeful spirits instantly subsided. At this moment, the figure of the Council Judge resembled a blazing flame, the clouds of fire behind him covering the sky and causing the temperature to rise sharply within a radius of several kilometers. This was not a simple flame, but a flame of suffering that burned the soul. Every nightmare aura and vengeful spirit within sight was ignited, emitting a terrifying wail. Amidst these wailing sounds, the Council Judge, who looked like a middle-aged man, crashed into the trunk of the Gujira Demon Tree like a flaming meteor, engulfed in a cloud of suffering fire.
After all the sounds died down, a huge flame began to flash where the Guchila demon tree was. Initially, it was only a few meters in radius, but after a dozen seconds, it immediately expanded to an area of over a thousand meters in radius. The fire of pain that shot up into the sky formed a thousand-meter-high pillar of fire, burning everything that could be ignited.
Boom——
After the fireball expanded to the edge, a huge explosion sounded throughout the entire area. High temperature and scorching heat became the only synonyms for this place. The demon tree forest that originally covered the entire plain and the entrance and exit of the Dust Bridge had now been mostly burned down.
"...I didn't expect the Chief Judge to be able to reach this level even with his full strength. I'm afraid he's only one step away from the Infinite Level, right?"
Dong and Frey stood at the node of the formation, looking at the scene in the distance that looked like a blazing hell, their expressions were a little shaken. They were both powerful people at the Disillusionment level, and they didn't expect that the difference in combat power between them and the Judge would be so great.
Dong's ability can suppress the Guqila demon tree, but it is only a small-scale suppression. If you want to achieve the effect of almost annihilating the demon tree, you can't do it even if you try your best.
After all, in terms of strength, the Guqila demon tree is still much stronger than him.
"The reason why our Triple Council holds the highest rank within the Winged Association is because the First Councilor and the Chief Judge are both the strongest beings in human history who have the greatest potential to reach the Infinite Realm. Even the Grand Knight Commander, who has the blessing of the Temple, is still far behind."
Fulei looked into the distance, the flames rising into the sky reflected in her eyes.
In this ruined nightmare world, there has been no record of humans entering the endless realm since the human survivors rebuilt civilization.
However, the Speaker and Chief Judge of this generation are the ones most likely to become humans who step into the Infinite Realm.
"I remember, according to the records in the Spock Secret Codex, to reach the Infinite Level... one seems to have to devour fragments of divinity. All the powerful predecessors who did so, without exception, fell into madness, either being torn apart on the spot or becoming nightmare monsters in the darkness..."
Dong glanced at Fulei next to him and said in a deep voice.
Although divine fragments have not appeared many times in history, there are still quite a few of them, and there have been times when they have been seized by powerful human beings.
The conclusion these sages, one after another, had reached at the cost of their lives was that humans, whether in body or soul, were no match for the monsters of nightmares. They were simply unable to devour or absorb divine fragments, and even a tiny bit of them would plunge them into madness. Even if the monsters of nightmares could overcome the madness caused by devouring divine fragments, they would often explode and die. Only a few succeeded.
Humans can't even be immune to madness, let alone anything else, so the strongest person that has appeared in the human race so far has only reached the peak of the Disillusionment Level. Even if it is only one step away, it is like an insurmountable chasm that cannot be crossed at all.
Frey smiled slightly. "I'm aware of all this, but the Chancellor and the Judge seem to be taking a different approach, trying to surpass what their predecessors couldn't achieve."
Just as the two were talking, a strange growl suddenly came from a distance. The growl sounded like both a human and a beast, and was full of a terrifying magic power. It actually made the councilors who were suppressing the nodes of the formation sink in their bodies and almost collapse to the ground.
The Guqila demon tree was also within the range of the formation, but it had never before exerted such pressure on the councilors guarding the node.
At this point, this can only mean one thing.
An indescribable horrible nightmare broke into the great array of delay!
