Chapter 499: 499
There were countless treemen gathering below the altar . Their roots were planted into the earth and spread everywhere, creating a lushly vast forest .
The treeman Zhang Ruochen had created with his Genuine Qi of Wood Spirit walked pass the Millennial Treemen . It did not cause any uproar .
Zhang Ruochen was relieved . Practicing into the Treasured Body of Wood Spirit allowed him to hide .
He executed his Spiritual Power . Carefully it reached out and began to search .
When he retrieved his Spiritual Power, he was surprised . The number of superiors in the treeman tribe surpassed his expectations . There were at least 35 Treeman Kings .
Among them, there were also a few treemen who let out a terrifying aura, an aura that could put a warrior at unease . Zhang Ruochen's speculated that they were likely 4,000-year-old treemen . Their strength was comparable to a Monk at the Fourth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm .
One could imagine that if they were exposed, they would fall under siege . Even though Zhang Ruochen had extraordinary power, he could still be crushed .
One had to be very careful .
SWOOSH!
Blackie shrank to the size of a mosquito . Flapping its wings, it flew out of the hole in the tree trunk and landed below the altar to study the Lines on the altar .
"Looks like Blackie really does have some trick up his sleeve that enables him to shrink to such a degree . " Zhang Ruochen was thinking .
Even a Monk at the Ninth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm with a Glazed Treasured Body, could only shrink and expand up to ten times his regular size . That was the limit .
Blackie definitely shrank more than that .
Zhang Ruochen controlled his treeman body and continued moving forward . He stopped below the altar and said to himself, "The altar area is full of treemen . If I step up to the altar, the superiors will definitely be suspicious . I need to create a commotion to distract them . "
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and secretly circulated his Spiritual Power to connect with the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth .
WHOOSH!
Under the influence of Spiritual Power, a thick cloud gradually formed above the altar .
The cloud grew thicker and more vast . It covered the scorching sun until no sunlight could pass through it . The world suddenly became extremely dark .
Claps of thunder could be heard from within the dark clouds . The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered and struck out a few streaks of lightning . They turned into an electric serpent that pierced through the sky .
"What's happening? Why did the dawn suddenly turn into dusk?"
"I felt some kind of powerful energy condensing in the clouds . If the energy erupts, surely a great disaster will come upon us .
"That is . . . It's a trick of the Extraterritorial Death! The Extraterritorial Death is coming! The Extraterritorial Death is coming!"
The treemen who had witnessed Zhang Ruochen's power of thunderbolt were haunted with fear and began to panic .
Only the Millennial Treemen and Treeman Kings stayed calm . But they started to become more serious, as if a huge rival was coming . They began to look everywhere for the Extraterritorial Death .
None of them realized that just below the altar, a treeman's trunk was slowly making a breach in the earth .
Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and came out from the treeman's trunk . He executed Space Moving and disappeared . Then he moved through space and reappeared at the top of the altar .
Zhang Ruochen could feel a energetic heavy presence working on his body as he ascended to the top of the altar .
The heavy energy forced him to bend his legs slightly . His bones cracked . However, he quickly got used to it and regained his posture .
"So there is 20 times the energy on top of the altar . Now that's meaningful . Seems like Blackie is right, this altar is indeed different . "
Soon, Zhang Ruochen was at the top of the altar . He discovered a stone gate leading to the underground .
On the surface of the stone gate, there were some mysterious carved Lines and odd little dots .
At a first glance, the Lines and dots were like a starry sky .
Zhang Ruochen did not go through the carvings on the stone gate thoroughly . Circulating his Genuine Qi, he reached out a palm and struck the stone gate .
The stone gate vibrated with a bang but did not shatter .
Instead, the Lines began to glow .
Zhang Ruochen was curious . He looked at his palm; it felt strange .
With his current power, he could normally break a metal gate, let alone one made of stone .
And yet his palm had not even left a dent .
"I will use Space Moving . "
The power of space was the most mysterious . It could penetrate through any tough object even a stone gate . After all any substance was a part of space .
POW!
A loud noise could be heard .
Zhang Ruochen applied Space Moving but crashed into the gate . Hard .
He did not pass through the stone gate . He felt pain and dizziness .
"My cultivation is too weak . I can't exert the true power of space . The Lines on the stone gate even resist my power . " Zhang Ruochen rubbed his aching shoulder and could not help observing the Lines on the stone gate again .
The power of space could indeed pass through any object in this world . However, some strong inscriptions could affect space . If Zhang Ruochen's cultivation reached a higher realm and he gained a deeper understanding of space, he would be able to pass through inscriptions .
"Could it be . . . Perhaps it is necessary to provide offerings to open the stone gate?"
