Chapter 1266 - 792: A Rookie Trying to Challenge the Ultimate Boss_2

As soon as he flickered into appearance, he teleported again to the southern side of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Not only did Du Yu change position, but his body’s orientation also shifted.

The instant he appeared, the illusory Void Axe Blade was already infinitely close to the tree trunk!

Above him, the withered branch’s ghostly presence lingered, still stabbing, yet Du Yu’s eyes gleamed as he vigorously swung the Void Axe...

"Whoosh!"

Du Yu’s expression suddenly changed, as a fierce energy surged out from within the Demon Breath Tree!

Yes, not the Divine Tree, but the Demon Breath Tree.

In an instant, the airflow became chaotic, frost and snow whirled wildly.

Du Yu, along with his axe, was directly swept away.

And just as Du Yu was swept away, the direction of the withered spirit branch shifted, piercing through layers of frosty mist, accurately stabbing at the soles of Du Yu’s shoes.

"Crack!"

"Whoosh~" Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattered glass, Du Yu flickered a hundred meters away.

"Ha...ha..." Du Yu’s chest heaved violently, gasping for breath.

His Demon Breath Battle Robe had shattered, fragile as if made of paper, crumbling at a touch!

Even more chilling was the fact that the sole of his shoe now had a small hole pierced through.

Through the Demon Soul, Du Yu sensed that the hole was less than 1 cm deep, just short of stabbing into the arch of his foot.

As the Void had said, the Twin Divine Trees’ essence could release energy turbulence, sweeping away everything nearby.

Moreover, what was this reaction speed of the Kunlun Divine Tree, and what attack speed!

"Gulp." Du Yu forced himself to suppress the jittering in his heart, striving to calm his mind.

It’s really difficult for others to imagine the immense pressure you endure when facing such a colossal entity as the Kunlun Divine Tree.

And this is with the Kunlun Divine Tree not even targeting Du Yu’s vital points!

If that slender withered branch aimed directly at Du Yu’s vital points, not to mention whether the Kunlun Divine Tree would harm Du Yu, the pressure he endured would undoubtedly increase exponentially!

All living beings are never cold machines.

Mental state, spirit, and willpower greatly influence a warrior’s combat performance.

"Foolish boy." Kui Chou muttered.

"Hmm?"

Kui Chou hummed, "Your body is pieced together by electric currents; before you instantaneously appear at a location, there’s an aggregation of electricity there."

Du Yu pursed his lips.

Kui Chou: "I told you long ago, wait until you reach the Demon Taming Emperor Level. For now, you can only use Cold Jade·Rapid Lightning Flash; your body isn’t pieced together fast enough.

Every time before you teleport, the electric current clearly indicates to the Divine Tree where you’re going to appear."

Du Yu: "Will it be okay after I advance to Demon Taming Emperor?"

Kui Chou: "Maybe, at least from the appearance of electricity to the assembly of your physical form, the time will be reduced significantly."

Little Fen Yang suddenly exclaimed, "Du..."

Even before the words were finished, she had already activated the Eye of Burning Sun for Du Yu.

The withered branches above pierced through the wind and snow, as if stabbing down from the sky.

Finally, the Kunlun Divine Tree initiated its attack.

Du Yu dared not be neglectful, his figure rapidly flickering.

And the scene that followed made everyone present gasp in horror!

Countless withered branches stabbed down from the heavens, spectacular yet terrifyingly horrifying!

The withered spirit branches resembled steel needles or a curtain of rain, stabbing down rapidly.

Du Yu flickered madly among them, shocked and perilous.

It appeared as though Du Yu was dodging this "steel needle torrential rain," but in reality, it was not!

Because every steel needle was precisely aimed, all targeting Du Yu.

In other words, this dense array of steel needles was drawn by Du Yu himself, illustrating how fast Du Yu’s flickering speed was!

Even more astonishing was the fact that, in this life-threatening crisis, Du Yu did not flee in panic!

He suddenly flickered a hundred meters away, and the Void Axe in his hand abruptly expanded, growing to a hundred-meter specification!

From afar, Lin Shiwei closed her eyes.

She could no longer keep up with such output speed, only able to pray silently in her heart.

Indeed, including Master Qing, all the warriors and people of the Divine Wood Pavilion present couldn’t keep up with the attack speed of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

As proven, Du Yu is indeed exceptionally strong, almost absurdly so!

Not to mention the people present, even across the entire Demon Taming World, perhaps only he could match the attack speed of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Because he possesses the Eye of Burning Sun!

"Hit! Hit!!" Du Yu gritted his teeth, shouting crazily in his heart as he desperately swung the Void Axe Blade.

Having clashed with the Divine Tree once, he must strike it once, right?

Even if it’s just to cut down a branch!

Even just a slight touch would be enough...

The next moment, Du Yu’s pupils constricted almost into needle-like points.

Within the "Steel Needle Torrential Rain" formation, energies erupted one after another!

Du Yu instantly lost control over his body.

His palm was pushed downward by the surging energy, his elbow was knocked backward by the gust, and his head was slammed leftward by the airflow...

The violent turbulence was like countless hands pressing on various parts of Du Yu’s body, as if trying to crush him completely.

"Whew~"

Du Yu couldn’t afford to care much and flickered open again, instantly teleporting nearly 300 meters back.

However, at the moment the electric currents pieced together Du Yu’s flesh, a withered branch had already descended from the sky, guarding the place where the currents spread.

"Bang!!!"

"Ah!" Du Yu cried out in pain, a bloody wound was drawn across his chest, deep enough to reveal bone.

This heavy blow not only hurt Du Yu’s flesh but also sent violent energy into his body.

Du Yu felt the energy surging chaotically within him, his body stiffening, unable to execute any demon skills!

His back slammed heavily into the snow, producing a heavy, muffled sound.

"Stab! Stab! Stab!"

Steel needles abruptly thrust down, hovering at Du Yu’s forehead, throat, heart, and other vital spots.

The withered branch didn’t pierce into Du Yu’s body but held him down.

Amid layers of frost and snow, Du Yu seemed like a person nailed to the ground, with no chance of survival.

"Ah... Ugh." Du Yu’s screams ceased abruptly.

It’s not that it doesn’t hurt; the chest wound that’s deep enough to see bone still burns fiercely, but he clamps his mouth shut.

Suddenly, a withered branch reached in front of his face.

Compared to the steel needles pressing against his body, this withered branch was gentle.

It lightly brushed across Du Yu’s cheek, with deep-voiced words carrying a hint of plea: "Promise me, Du Yu, don’t go adventuring."

Du Yu clenched his teeth tightly, the extreme pain from within making him incapable of responding.

Though the Kunlun Peak was all white, his vision seemed dark.

"Cough, cough cough." Du Yu felt a sweet taste in his throat, unable to hold back.

He coughed violently, spraying a mouthful of fresh blood that dyed his cheeks and the snow beside them crimson.

"Du Yu."

"Du Yu!" Two figures descended rapidly.

Yang Qingqing watched her disciple, covered in blood, her heart quivering.

Lin Shiwei fared no better,

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The withered branch swiftly retreated, and Yang Qingqing and Lin Shiwei simultaneously summoned the Heaven Returning Wood.

The two big trees extended their branches, weaving together, jointly forming a leaf cocoon.

The dense Wood Demon Breath filled the leaf cocoon, healing Du Yu’s wounds.

"Du Yu!" Little Fen Yang emerged, eyes full of concern, with a crying expression on the little face, "Du Yu, Du Yu."

"Hmm..." Du Yu’s gaze appeared slightly unfocused, looking at the adorable figure before him.

The energy from the Divine Tree still made his body rigid and beyond his control.

"Bad tree! Evil tree!" Little Fen Yang looked at the bloody wound, frustrated, "How could you hit so hard!"

Kui Chou: "Don’t worry, no fatal injuries."

The Divine Spirit Tree evidently struck with precision; Du Yu appeared miserable, yet faced no life-threatening peril.

"Evil tree!" Little Fen Yang’s voice carried a hint of crying, "Du Yu, Du Yu, how are you, Du Yu?"

"No, I’m fine." Du Yu’s voice was very light, very weak.

Kui Chou rarely spoke in praise: "A small Demon Taming General, quite weak, it’s impressive he lasted so long."

Little Fen Yang: "Hey Niuniu, don’t speak! Du Yu, Du Yu, does it hurt?"

"Doesn’t hurt, hiss..." Du Yu shivered, inhaling sharply, "Don’t worry."

Actually... well, it does hurt a bit.

But finally, I know what sort of existence I’m facing.

So, Youhan Tree,

are you a notch stronger than the Twin Divine Trees?

Damn it,

It’s truly irritating...

...

Brothers, I’ll catch up on the Chapters owed tomorrow.

Writing a Chapter takes about three to four hours, there’s not enough time. This Chapter was revised repeatedly, always wanting to make it better, but ultimately mismanaged time, pardon me.
