Chapter 641: The Closing Qiming Tree

After killing the Black Giant, the normal task [Fight against the predetermined fate and defeat the Black Giant] is naturally completed, and 1 truth point is awarded.

But even if he used up these truth points on the spot, You Huan would not be able to become instantly stronger, and it would be of no help in the current situation.

He stood in mid-air on the snow, turned around and looked at the branches of the Qiming tree that were spreading from outside his territory and from under the ground.

The Church's characteristic objects, the Enlightenment Tree, the Church's God, these things that were the only thing connected to the Church, were the things he knew the least about since he came to this world.

He has understood most of the characteristics of the Black Dust and has predictions about its future changes, but he is still not sure why the Black Dust appeared and what its relationship is to the God of the church.

Apparently, the church is where the world's greatest secrets lie.

Unfortunately, before he could even reach the church, the church got to him first.

The church has always spared no effort in sending out military force to those who dare to challenge its majesty. Once they encounter blasphemers who are judged to have committed extremely serious sins, they will send out white knights to chase and bite the target like mad dogs.

——Of course, the premise is that the target is not so powerful that once an attack is taken, there will be the risk of annihilation and heavy losses.

Therefore, the Pure Sisters, as an organization of defectors from the church, have been able to survive to this day.

To put it bluntly, no matter what force it is, they all bully the weak and fear the strong.

But right now, the church obviously does not think You Huan is the "tough one".

However, they also prepared extremely high-standard "etiquette" for this extremely "evil" blasphemer, who is rarely seen in recent years.

——Outside the territory, there was no large-scale knight army or the like, only small teams consisting of only a few people.

Each of these teams was dressed strangely. Some were wrapped tightly in white robes, while others were shirtless in the snow, revealing the crisscrossing whipping scars on their bronze backs.

In the territory, Li could see these people clearly with his unique visual ability.

Her expression changed several times, and finally she said in a deep voice: "The church's [Glorious Enlightenment Guard]! They are the ones who are dispatched. This is bad."

When Whitley, who was standing by, heard her words, his expression became more serious than ever.

He used to be a white knight of the church, so naturally he had heard of the great name of this guard.

The White Knights are the backbone of the church and the most distinctive feature that the church has always presented to the outside world.

But if you were to ask what the most powerful thing in the church is, apart from a few old guys, it would definitely be the [Eureka Tree].

The church claims that the Enlightenment Tree is a gift from God to the devout, the most sacred plant in the world, and the key to leading the church and mankind to a bright future.

Before officially accepting the first "Gift of God" - the White Dust Organ - all knights must receive the enlightenment of the ancient enlightenment tree in the Ikaros Cathedral.

Whitley had naturally experienced this before. It was not until he was infected by the black dust due to an extremely rare accident, resulting in the coexistence of white dust and black dust, that he gradually realized that something was wrong.

The light that shone at that time seemed to have the function of brainwashing.

Putting aside the uncertain brainwashing ability of the Qiming Tree, they are extremely powerful weapons in themselves.

The light emitted by their fruits is extremely lethal to all life except church believers. They themselves have huge bodies that are hard and have the ability to transform, and their growth rate and range are also extremely large.

The only drawback of the Enlightenment Tree is that it can neither grow very large nor last long after leaving the church headquarters.

If it is just an ordinary Qiming tree species, stimulated by an ordinary White Knight, the grown Qiming tree can only be a disposable consumable on the battlefield.

Considering the preciousness of the Qiming tree species itself, the Qiming tree cannot be used as a conventional weapon by the church in war.

——However, it would be different if those who carried and used the Enlightenment Tree seeds were the Glorious Enlightenment Guards who had undergone special training and were recognized by God.

Everyone in this team dedicated their consciousness to the Qiming Tree, thus achieving a strange combination.

They can use their spirit to irrigate the Enlightenment Tree and stimulate the full potential within the tree, turning the Enlightenment Tree into a truly terrifying weapon of war!

This guard team is stationed at the church headquarters and is responsible for controlling the Guardians of the Enlightenment Tree. It is an important line of defense for the cathedral.

But now, the church has actually selected some members of the guard team, carrying a large number of precious Enlightenment tree seeds, to come and attack the lord...

Whitley turned his head and looked at the lord in the distance who had just killed a black giant, then looked up at the ice crystal tree.

Even though the lord probably had no idea what the church's Enlightenment Tree looked like when he created the Ice Crystal Tree, in the eyes of the church, which was crazy about faith, this was a blatant blasphemy against the church's holy relics.

In addition, the Lord seized the ranch area that the Church had been confident of winning, and repeatedly killed and kidnapped the White Knights...

It is not surprising that the church did not hesitate to send out a guard team and use the Enlightenment Tree to launch an attack.

After all, in the eyes of the church, the lord is just a lone beast, without much power.

The power of a single corpse beast is far from enough to become an equal opponent to the church with deep roots.

Then the church will certainly take action and deal with this blasphemer with thunder and lightning to demonstrate its majesty as God's agent.

Whitley was thinking about what to do as he was caught between the two sides. Li, who was observing the situation from a distance, changed his expression again.

"That's... the church actually sent out one of their top leaders!" she murmured in shock.

The next moment, an old man standing outside the territory seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look.

The eagle-like sharp eyes seemed to have crossed the long space and accurately locked onto Li's location!

Li immediately retracted his gaze and took another deep breath.

"This is troublesome... Lord, can you hold on?"

At this time, the edge of the territory——

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Among the many strange people, an old man with a white scarf on his head and a white robe took a step forward, and his skinny feet, like a mummy, sank deeply into the snow.

He looked at the white corpse beast flying high in the distance and whispered to himself:

"Supreme God, the mother who nurtured us, please grant us the strength to pierce this evil being that blasphemes the gods, holiness and justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the long staff in his hand into the snow!

Several teams behind him all made prayer gestures with their chests and began to chant complex and difficult-to-pronounce prayers.

"Boom boom—"

And as they took action, the Qiming Tree, which had been stagnant, began to grow again.

The iron-gray branches that looked like wires entangled and twisted with each other, turning into thicker branches, and then transformed into giant iron-gray dragons, attacking You Huan from different angles!

The glowing fruits that were constantly growing on their bodies touched You Huan in the form of light before the main body.

The moment he was exposed to this light, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and every cell in his body seemed to be screaming to escape from this light.

He was clearly still using his mental power to "cheat" the black dust in his body, but the light could still hurt him.

This effect... perhaps the principle by which the Qiming Tree attacks its enemies is not based on black dust?

The thoughts in his mind did not affect him as he suddenly turned into snowflakes and spun downwards violently.

The next moment, the huge dragon-like branches of the Qiming tree collided above him, making a harsh metallic friction sound.

Countless branches suddenly scattered and re-woven in the collision, turning into a thicker branch that slammed downwards.

You Huan narrowed his eyes, and this time he did not dodge. Instead, he turned to face the branches and released [Melting Light] at the same time.

Above the glimmering ripples, the iron dragon-like branches above trembled violently, and spider-web-like fine cracks spread across the surface.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

At the same time, many glowing fruits on the branches were annihilated, and the light that was continuing to cause damage to You Huan immediately dimmed a lot.

"Die, blasphemer!" But at this moment, the old man outside the territory slammed the ground with his long staff.

——Under one-third of You Huan's territory, a huge tree broke through the soil and rose up with a loud bang!

Like a blooming lotus, the branches spread out, and the fruits are densely dotted on the branches, illuminating the entire territory as if it were close to the sun.

In this incomparable light, the branches that had originally grown were like lanterns on the head of an anglerfish used to lure prey, trapping the tiny white figure in a predetermined position.

The main body of the Qiming Tree below was like a sea anemone, with countless tentacles weaving into an airtight cage around the target, which then suddenly closed!

For a moment, everyone's open gazes and secret observations were silently looking towards the scene of the Qiming Tree closing.

The territory was completely silent, even the snow had stopped falling. (End of this chapter)
