Chapter 252: World Tree and Quetzalcoatl Bloodline
Chapter 252
After the rumbling ended, everything returned to silence.
The power of the barrier in the Tyrant Earth Dragon King's body slowly flowed, sealing the torn earth again, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Evelyn, who had been standing aside and watching the battle, waved her hand lightly and raised her jade finger, ordering Earl Weir to lead the mortal army of the Blue Jade Province forward.
The fear brought by the previous rumbling has not yet dissipated, and the scene of the strong wind tearing the sky and earth apart is still vivid in my mind.
The dragon's might was as overwhelming as a mountain pressing down on people's heads, causing them to hesitate, their eyes filled with fear and hesitation.
But Earl Weir is an old nobleman who has ruled the province for many years and has his own ways to stabilize the army.
His face was stern, and he ordered without hesitation to kill several people who tried to escape. Blood splattered on the ground, and the army's morale was shaken, finally forcing the army to move forward again.
…
A little further away, Lynn and Evelyn stood quietly on the plain, the breeze ruffling the corners of their clothes.
The pressure emanating from the golden totem in the distance seemed to be real, still faintly vibrating in the air.
Evelin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and licked her red lips with her pink tongue, like the instinctive action of a venomous snake before hunting.
She stared at the tyrannical Earth Dragon King that was entrenched like a mountain, but her mind had already turned to another target.
"As long as we capture those boys and girls with feathered serpent blood..."
"I can obtain the true power of the feathered serpent from that old guy..."
"The Golden Alchemist... The Golden Throne... is within reach..."
Her desire was hot and greedy, written on her face without any disguise.
Lin En glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, looking at her extremely charming profile, and sighed in his heart:
The so-called femme fatale probably looks like this.
At this moment, the two silver alchemists stood quietly, staring at the army in front of them that was about to rush into the golden totem barrier.
Snap!
Snap!
With the assistance of the Quetzalcoatl alchemists, the mortal armies constantly tried to break through the barrier released by the Earth Dragon Emperor.
If the Tyrant Earth Dragon King is a complete golden totem, anyone who approaches will be instantly reduced to ashes.
But now it is just a half-dead shell revived by the Creation Society. Although it still has power, it has long lost its former spirit.
Finally, after repeated experiments and attempts, a narrow passage leading to the depths of the royal capital was forcibly torn out by the flesh and blood and sacrifices of mortals.
Looking at the gap that was squeezed open, Evelin opened her red lips slightly, her voice cold and playful:
"Let's go, Viscount Layton... Next, it's time to face your teacher."
As soon as she finished speaking, her white robe fluttered, and she walked with an elegant but irresistible pace, swinging her long, slender, white legs, and holding her head high into the silent golden area.
………………………………
At the same time, at the moment when cracks appeared in the barrier of the Tyrant Earth Dragon Emperor, another strange scene occurred in the deepest part of the capital of the Principality of Cuilan.
The royal capital... was deserted.
There were no corpses everywhere, no rivers of blood, and not even the slightest trace of war.
It was extremely clean and eerily quiet here. Not only were there no corpses, but not even a complete building existed.
The capital city, which was once full of tall buildings and magnificent architecture, now seems to have been wiped out from the world, leaving only a wasteland.
Only the royal palace in the very center stands alone in the dust, witnessing everything like a survivor.
It turned out that under the devastating earth rumbling bombardments of the tyrant Earth Dragon Emperor, countless lives in the royal capital were completely wiped out.
The magnificent palaces and streets also collapsed, turning into thick dust that covered the ground, more than ten centimeters deep.
Inside the palace of this isolated city, the alchemists of the Creation Society are stationed.
At the deepest part of the hall, a man stood with his hands behind his back.
He was wearing a gray robe and had snow-white hair. He was Layton's teacher, Klaus.
He looked calm, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he had already seen through everything.
Suddenly, Klaus murmured softly: "...Someone came in."
He slowly raised his head and looked outside the hall, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
Behind him was a strange blood-red tree. The whole tree was filled with a strong smell of blood, and its roots were intertwined and deeply rooted in the ground, spreading for an unknown number of miles.
The tree crown is as dense as an umbrella, and the branches and leaves are hideously twisted, as if they were made up of pieces of solidified blood scabs. Every leaf seems to be dripping with blood, which is chilling.
On both sides of the blood tree, a man and a woman were tied firmly to the ground, with their hands stretched out, closely connected to the roots of the tree, as if they had already become part of the tree.
These two people are exactly the young man and woman with feathered serpent blood that Evelyn has been looking for.
But at this moment, they were covered in blood, their hair was disheveled, and their faces were pale, as if most of their flesh and blood had been drained away by the blood tree, and they were only hanging on by a breath.
If Layton were still alive, he would probably sneer when seeing this scene.
The boy had been angry about Klaus and wanted to attack Layton, but now? He ended up with the same fate as Layton, just a little later.
At this moment, the blood on the man and woman suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if it was resonating with something.
Klaus's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression showed a hint of interest: "Hmm... is there a resonance in the Quetzalcoatl bloodline?"
He closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It looks like a big shot has come to Quetzalcoatl..."
Suddenly, the bloody tree shook violently, and the strong smell of blood spread again.
The blood-red tree crown swayed like a living thing, and the next moment, wisps of blood mist overflowed from between the branches and leaves, like a living poisonous mist, spreading silently to the outside of the hall.
"So soon? Have they arrived yet?"
Klaus's eyes suddenly focused and he looked outside the palace.
He had set up layers of defenses, filled with alchemists and traps, but no one raised any warnings, and they were breached silently?!
At this moment, a faint but extremely luxurious fragrance quietly flowed into the hall, like warm wine on a spring night, hiding a captivating charm.
There is a hint of restlessness and heat in the fragrance, which makes one's blood boil slightly.
Klaus, however, had a blank expression on his face, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he moved his hand slightly, and a silver light burst out!
Buzz! Behind him, a huge silver beehive suddenly appeared, glowing with silver light, towering and majestic.
Thousands of silver bees swarmed out of the hive, swarming around, instantly surrounding Klaus and forming an impenetrable defensive barrier.
"Violet Emperor... No wonder they didn't even put up a fight... Heh, I didn't expect that..."
Klaus murmured softly, his expression showing a hint of complexity.
"Layton...you can actually go this far?"
As a former mentor, he certainly knew the origin and limitations of the violet flower totem.
The Violet Emperor is the highest silver rank in the Violet Totem System. If it hadn’t been passed down by him personally, it would have been impossible for outsiders to achieve it.
Back then, he left the violet flower to Leighton as one of his inheritances, but it was not a problem because the boy was mediocre in talent but loyal and obedient.
But what is the result?
Not only did Layton break through from the third stage of Black Iron to Bronze, and then to Violet King, he also brazenly teamed up with the Quetzalcoatl in an attempt to target his teacher!
He thought that the backdoor of the Violet King's totem had been carefully arranged, and once activated, it would be able to backfire and kill Layton.
But unfortunately, Layton escaped the disaster again. Now, he has even broken into the Silver Rank and promoted to the Violet Emperor!
"...How unexpected, my stupid, stubborn and tenacious student."
Klaus smiled softly, but his smile was cold and murderous.
He slowly held out his hand, as if beckoning Layton.
"Come out...my child, Layton."
His tone was gentle, as if a loving father was calling him, but his eyes could not conceal the coldness and desire to hunt.
Sizzle...
In response to his voice, another fog began to fill the air.
It was a touch of dark purple, rising up vaguely and slithering in the void like a poisonous snake.
As the purple mist spread, the air temperature seemed to drop sharply, and a strange pressure descended.
In the center of the fog, a huge and extremely gorgeous violet flower slowly appeared.
Its whole body is flowing with brilliance, its petals are like silk, and its nine buds are blooming layer by layer, each petal emitting a soul-stirring luster. It is the Violet King Totem, the true symbol of the Silver Alchemist!
However, Lin En also knew that he was not the protagonist today and he only needed to play a supporting role.
The real protagonist is Evelyn, the daughter of the throne of Quetzalcoatl.
As the purple mist quietly spread, an elegant figure quietly appeared.
Above the ground, a thin purple snake swam slowly, its tongue flickering, its movements graceful and enchanting.
Then, there was the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground, like a rhythmic beat.
Amid the gentle mist, a pair of slender, snow-white, flawless legs stepped out, like a queen walking out of a dream.
Then, the exquisitely tailored purple robe that outlined her curves and the cold and beautiful face appeared. Evelin appeared!
She gently hooked her jade hand, and the purple snake from before became like a familiar pet.
It moved along her straight and slender legs, finally winding around her body and quietly lying on her shoulders.
Evelyn stepped into the hall, turned her slender waist, and glanced at Klaus at first, but quickly passed him and fixed her eyes on the strange scarlet and bloody tree.
Especially, the two young boys and girls who were closely connected to the roots of the blood tree.
The next moment, Evelin’s expression suddenly changed!
A look of intense surprise emerged on her cold and beautiful face, and shock and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes that were difficult to conceal.
"This is... the blood of the Quetzalcoatl!? Moreover, it has such a pure and rich aura?!"
"That old guy... is he already... dead?!"
Her voice was filled with undisguised anger and a hint of panic, and she suddenly looked towards the bloody tree.
"And this strange tree... could it be... the legendary World Tree?!"
Evelin, who was always calm and confident, completely lost her composure at this moment.
The bloody and fleshy texture of the tree, the overflowing aura, and the devouring power fluctuations all made her feel unprecedented uneasiness and threat.
Upon seeing this, Klaus smiled strangely, slowly opened his arms, and chanted devoutly like a priest: "Tsk tsk... The great Creator once said... Every Golden Throne was able to forge their nobility by plundering the power of this world!"
"And now, in order to create a truly beautiful new world..."
"These thieves must return their power in its entirety!"
"The Quetzalcoatl is not the first... and will definitely not be the last!"
Before Klaus finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.
Piety faded, replaced by bone-chilling murderous intent and cold greed.
"The blood power of the Quetzalcoatl Throne was originally in a stalemate with me...but now..."
He narrowed his eyes slowly, looked at Evelin's body with strong blood fluctuations, and raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth:
"The arrival of a pure-blooded descendant of the Quetzalcoatl, plus the two small sacrifices, is enough!"
In the purple mist, Lin En's figure never really appeared. He stood quietly in the back, staring at everything in front of him.
"I see... The capital and those mortals are just a cover to deceive people."
He was startled and instantly understood the situation.
"The true target of the Creation Society is indeed those golden thrones."
This is not difficult to understand.
The Golden Throne is the pinnacle of the third-level totem, almost standing at the top of this world.
If the Creation Society really controls the so-called "World Tree" and attempts to open the so-called "Second Era", then they must infuse energy into the World Tree.
And the vitality contained in hundreds of millions of mortals is probably not worth the value of a golden throne! Lin En's eyes fell on the scarlet, strangely twisted blood tree, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
"This tree... could it be a part of the World Tree?"
A hint of excitement quietly rose in his heart.
With 90% certainty, he could almost confirm that this so-called World Tree was the fourth-level opportunity in this plane! A fourth-level opportunity was enough to drive countless totems crazy.
But if this opportunity itself is an extraordinary plant, then the meaning is completely different.
Especially for him.
Because his true self is a natural wizard! "What a big surprise..."
A hidden gleam of fire flashed across Lynn's eyes, and his heart was in turmoil.
But then he turned his gaze to Evelyn.
"But... this woman, could she really be intimidated by the blood of the two feathered serpent descendants? It's hard to say... If a bloodline wizard faces the suppression of a higher-level bloodline, sometimes he will instinctively fear and surrender..."
"If she backs off, then I'm afraid I'll have to make other plans."
His thoughts raced as he quietly adjusted his strategy.
However, at this moment, Evelin's originally cold eyes suddenly became sharp! The purple snake on her shoulder suddenly spit out its tongue, a cold light flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly turned into a purple shadow and shot out!
Evelin opened her red lips slightly, her voice cold:
"Do you think that two filthy bastards can covet our Quetzalcoatl bloodline?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand! The purple snake that rushed out suddenly trembled all over, and pieces of gorgeous feathers fluttered and fell from its body, like an angel descending to the world, with feathers like snow, covering the entire hall! The power of the feathered serpent burst out! Looking at this scene, Lin En's heart was slightly shaken, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
"Sure enough...she's not that stupid. It turns out this is her real trump card."
In the purple mist, Lynn quietly activated the Violet King Totem, quietly moved, and occupied Klaus's retreat.
Purple flower shadows spread, killing intent silently.
At this moment, in the center of the hall, Klaus's expression was no longer calm, his face was extremely serious, and he slowly uttered four words: "Quetzalcoatl Throne..."
