Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 754 Branches of the Ancient Tree of Life, Legendary Space Mage.

Upon seeing the kill notification, Cao Xing was taken aback: "So it's still being judged based on legendary-level powerhouses?"

"I thought I'd get another trophy from slaying a demigod this time..."

A look of regret flashed through my mind.

But upon reflection, it makes sense.

After all, although Kai possesses demigod-level combat power, it's because he borrowed the power of the demon sword.

In essence, he remains a legend.

He's just stronger than the other legends.

Cao Xing shook his head, not thinking much of it.

Just as he was about to step forward and pick up all of Kai's belongings after his death.

Suddenly, an extremely cold aura emerged from Kai Lan's corpse and instantly entered Cao Xing's body!

This aura was extremely strange, like countless tiny venomous snakes crawling in the veins, icy cold yet carrying some indescribable madness!

At this moment, Cao Xing felt a chill run down his spine, as if some terrifying being was watching him!
"Hmm?" He frowned, feeling the cold, sinister power constantly eroding his body.

Damage numbers also appeared above their heads.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

……

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Ding! Attention, survivor Cao Xing!]

[Because you killed King Kai of the North Wind and Prince Kai Lan of the North Wind, the bloodline curse has been activated, and you are now afflicted with the curse: The Gaze of the Mother of the North Wind.]

[The Gaze of the Mother of the North Wind (Demigod Level): Before the curse is lifted, all attributes are reduced by 20%, health drops by 10 per second, and your location will be sensed by the 'Mother of the North Wind'.]

……

Upon seeing this notification, Cao Xing frowned again: "A bloodline curse?"

"really……"

As for who cursed him, it's not hard to guess.

I had heard the mercenaries mention that Kai Lan had a mysterious mother.

The reason why the North Wind King would rather fight him to the death than hand over the legendary magic sword was largely because of his mother.

Cao Xing not only killed Kai Lan, but also the King of Bei Feng.

Clearly, Kai Lan's mysterious mother had sensed something and even located his position.

"A demigod-level curse... Until the curse is broken, I will not only be constantly affected by a 20% reduction in all my attributes, but I will also lose 10 health points every second..."

"If this were a hero-level powerhouse, they would have been worn down and killed in just a few minutes."

"Even legendary-level powerhouses can't last long."

"What's more, this curse is permanent..."

Cao Xing sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"However, it doesn't affect me much."

"Anyway, my current health regeneration per second is already 14, which can completely offset the damage from the curse."

"And... I also have a pet that's practically a curse nemesis, Buoyancy..."

"As long as this Lightfeather Chicken is upgraded to Hero or Legendary level, even a demigod-level curse can be easily removed."

As for being able to sense his location by the [Mother of the North Wind], Cao Xing has even less to worry about.

After all, he usually stays in his territory.

As his strength gradually increased, more and more people learned that his territory was located in the raging snowfield.

This is something that can be easily found out by asking around, so it's hardly a secret.

With that thought in mind, Cao Xing stopped taking the curse to heart.

He went over to Armor and picked up the pile of spoils.

[Obtained: Armor's mutated Overlord-level Soul (Legendary)]

[Obtained: Whispers of the Night - Godslayer (Legendary)]

[Obtained: Undying King Armor (Orange)]

[Obtained: Undying King's Shoulder Armor (Orange)]

[Obtained: Undying King's Helmet (Orange)]

[Obtained: Undying King's Bottoms (Orange)]

[Obtained: Undying King's Boots (Orange)]

[Obtained: Moon Goddess Orb Fragment *2]

【get……】

……

When a long string of system notifications appeared, Cao Xing was immediately startled!
"My grass!"

"A mutated overlord's soul, a legendary weapon, and a full set of epic equipment!"

"As expected of the King of the North Wind, his equipment is damn luxurious!"

Excitement gleamed in Cao Xing's eyes: "But all of these are mine now!"

With that thought in mind, he patted his backpack with satisfaction.

Then, he put Kai and Kai Lan's bodies into his backpack and looked up at the distant sky.

There, nearly twenty legendary powerhouses were engaged in a terrifying battle.

The fierce battle between the two sides stirred up the winds and clouds, and the violent energy fluctuations distorted and deformed the entire sky, affecting an area of ​​more than a hundred kilometers around.

The mercenaries, adventurers, and lords from the four districts who had been watching nearby had long since left the area.

Of course, even if they stayed here, they wouldn't see anything.

The violent shockwaves continued to erupt, almost obscuring everything in the area.

After observing for a while, Cao Xing thought to himself, "At present, the strength of these two alliances is evenly matched without the Undying Demon Body."

This time, the lizardman chieftain did not come, so the four kingdoms only sent seven legendary experts.

However, the Ice Crystal King's semi-divine artifact—the Kingdom's Holy Sword—directly eliminated the difference in numbers.

Every swing of that holy sword, radiating a blue light, sent shivers down the spines of these powerful figures, making them dare not approach!
Seeing this, Cao Xing waved his hand and ordered, "Go, take them down."

"Right here today, we will annihilate the North Wind Alliance!"

His voice carried a chilling coldness, as if he were pronouncing a death sentence on the enemy!

"Yes, Lord!" the crowd responded in unison.

Upon receiving the order, Cao Xing's five legendary generals, along with a host of heroic-level powerhouses, joined the battle.

Malenina's figure transformed into a streak of red lightning, Bronn's massive shield carried overwhelming power, and Sarah vanished like a shadow...

With their addition, the battle situation immediately turned into a one-sided and overwhelming victory.

In less than thirty seconds, the North Wind Alliance began to show signs of collapse.

"Pfft!"

Sarah's Death Blade relentlessly slashed at the Queen of the Kingdom of Kara, each strike leaving horrific wounds on the woman's body!

Braum single-handedly withstood a massive amount of damage, with the Shield of the Beginning steadily blocking all attacks.

Marlena wields the Bloodthirsty Sword, and in her [Valkyrie Wrath] form, she seems to transform into a true Valkyrie of the battlefield!
In addition, there was the long-range bombardment from the two legendary mages, Isabel and Zevilin.

"Boom—Boom—!"

The eleven legendary figures of the North Wind Alliance were forced into retreat, and many of them were covered in wounds.

Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Sarah and Isabel.

Only then did they understand why these people could use their legendary power to fight against demigods and even kill them!

This level of strength has far surpassed the boundaries of legend!
"Who...are you?"

King Silver Lion clutched the sword wound in his chest, staring in shock at the ferocious enemy before him.

However, no one responded to him. Sarah and the others were faithfully carrying out Cao Xing's orders to preserve all these legends!

It was clear that the other legends were also on the verge of collapse.

King Silver Lion took a deep breath and shouted, "Let's go! Back to Silvershine Fortress!"

"Kai is dead. We must leave as soon as possible, or we will all perish here today."

With that, he let out a deafening roar towards the crowd: "Roar—!!!"

The terrifying sound waves spread out as if they were tangible, causing all the legendary powerhouses who came into contact with them to be struck as if by lightning, momentarily losing their senses, and displaying damage numbers exceeding one million above their heads!

The Silver Lion King's technique not only comes with continuous mind control effects, but also deals considerable damage, making it an amazing crowd control skill.

Sarah and the others' [faith] can only resist one control effect, and they were temporarily frozen at this moment.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the other powerful members of the North Wind Alliance abandoned their current opponents and gathered together in the same area.

However, for legendary-level powerhouses, this control period is extremely short.

The moment clarity returned, the Gray Mist King shrieked, "It was Silver Lion's 'Lion King's Roar'! They're trying to escape!"

"Stop them!"

Upon hearing this, the legends of the four kingdoms, as well as Sarah and the others, all tensed up!
They burst forth at top speed and pounced forward with incredible ferocity!
At that moment, the old man from the Divine Tree Kingdom stepped forward. He gripped his withered wooden staff and gently tapped it in the air.

In an instant! A green ripple spread out for more than ten kilometers.

Amidst this strange energy fluctuation, everyone sensed an extremely strong life force.

The next moment, a sapling grew out of the void in front of them, and the sapling grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Crash-"

The sapling's trunk continued to grow taller, and the sound of countless branches and leaves stretching out echoed through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it grew into a towering tree tens of thousands of meters tall!
The next moment, countless branches sprouted from the towering tree and began to frantically attack the crowd.

Even Cao Xing, who had just put his spoils into his backpack, was affected.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of branches slicing through the air came, and they quickly wrapped around everyone.

The emerald green branches wriggled like living creatures, as if trying to bind them!
The Ice Crystal King swiftly severed numerous branches with a single sword strike, and whispered, "Attack these branches! Don't get bound, or you'll have your life force drained!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately launched an attack, bombarding the dancing branches with various skills.

During this time, Queen Karen of the Northwind Alliance continuously waved her staff, and waves of magical energy appeared.

Before her, the outline of a portal, shimmering with spatial fluctuations, gradually took shape!
"Holy crap! He's actually a legendary mage who controls the power of space?!"

Cao Xing exclaimed in surprise, "The North Wind Alliance actually has such a powerful expert!"

Seeing this, he also became a little anxious.

As mentioned before, space and time are two supreme forces.

Anyone who masters both of these powers is extremely powerful!
Queen Karen may not be strong in combat, but that's because she was facing Cao Xing and his group.

In fact, she was not a weakling in the legends.

Moreover, their ability to create portals out of thin air alone is enough to make them invincible on the battlefield!

"Interrupt their teleportation!"

Cao Xing swiftly brandished his staff, gathering vast amounts of icy power, intending to unleash a wide-range legendary skill to disrupt the surrounding magical fluctuations.

However, a flood of branches came from all directions, binding his hands and feet and abruptly breaking the icy power he had gathered.

Isabel was already at full power, her body erupting with intense holy light, illuminating the sky for tens of kilometers like a sun!
Malenina wielded the Blood-Drinking Sword and slashed relentlessly!
Others also launched a frenzied attack!

However, the old man's tree was too strange; it could withstand the attacks of so many people and even restrict their movements.

at the same time.

Queen Karen's spatial portal has been fully formed, and strong spatial fluctuations emanate from the vortex.

King Silver Lion roared, "Go!"

The next moment, the eleven powerful individuals entered the portal almost without hesitation.

"Buzz-buzz-"

One figure after another disappeared.

As the last person entered, the portal vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, the tree continued to grow more branches, keeping everyone stuck in place.

They could only watch helplessly as these guys escaped.

Even Cao Xing had to admit that the legendary powerhouses of the North Wind Alliance were indeed quite skilled.

The Silver Lion King's [Lion King's Roar] can control a wide area of ​​the field.

The giant tree released by the Divine Tree King dragged all of them to their feet.

In addition, there's Queen Karen's teleportation portal.

With this combination, even a demigod would have a hard time keeping them.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The branches were constantly being smashed, and the group was held back by the tree for a full twenty seconds.

As time went by, the tree began to show signs of decay.

Fewer and fewer branches are growing, and even its size is shrinking rapidly.

"Kingdom Swordsmanship, Sheathed Blade!"

With a roar, the Ice Crystal King unleashed a terrifying sword aura that completely shattered the ten-thousand-meter-tall tree!
"boom!!"

The next moment, the big tree vanished like a bubble, leaving only a last tender green twig slowly drifting down from the sky.

However, even a single branch exudes boundless vitality at this moment.

The dwarf legend's gaze was immediately drawn, and he cried out in a shrill voice, "It's a branch of the Tree of Life!"

"No wonder I said this tree is so powerful, that old guy from the Sacred Tree really went all out!"

Upon hearing the words "Tree of Life," Cao Xing's eyes lit up!
Sarah had already taken action with almost no prompting from him.

Use [Shadow Teleport] to get next to the tree branch and put it into your inventory.

Seeing this, the kings and legendary experts of the four kingdoms said nothing.

Instead, they looked at each other, smiled, and shook their heads.

At the same time, Cao Xing quickly flew to the side of the kings and said, "Your Majesties, do you have time now?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone looked puzzled.

The Ice Crystal King said, "We don't have anything important to do recently, what's wrong?"

Cao Xing grinned, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes: "These guys may have escaped, but their kingdom won't!"

"Now follow me, let's march straight to the territory of the North Wind Alliance and uproot these five kingdoms!"

"Let's seize this opportunity and unify the northern border of the Western Continent!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, the four kings all gasped in shock!
The phrase "unify the northern border of the Western Continent" has been uttered by countless geniuses and prodigies over thousands of years.

But in the end, they all failed.

Now, this lord from another world casually uttered these words.

Moreover, given his abilities, it seems he really could accomplish such an amazing feat!

For a moment, everyone looked at Cao Xing with complicated expressions.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the sheer bloodlust of this otherworldly lord.

Having just killed the King of the North Wind, he immediately planned to wipe out the entire North Wind Alliance, essentially eliminating any future threat.

After a moment of silence, the Ice Crystal King slowly shook his head: "Lord Cao Xing, I know your thoughts, but... destroying the North Wind Alliance is not that simple..."

"Even if we have the superior strength and are able to defeat the legendary powerhouse of the North Wind Alliance."

"But...we also need to consider the issue of postwar order."

"After all, this is five kingdoms in total, an incredibly large entity, with countless commoners living in its towns and villages."

"As you saw during the bloody chaos, too violent political upheaval can lead to the displacement of many civilians and the destruction of their homes."

Cao Xing said dismissively, "Why don't you four kingdoms just send people to take over the North Wind Alliance?"

"You should all have experience with this kind of thing."

"It's just a change of power. As long as it doesn't affect the common people, it's fine."

"As for those members of the royal family, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled."

"When the time comes, you will divide these six kingdoms among yourselves, and I will only need a portion of the profits."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's suggestion, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the four kings.

Clearly, they were also somewhat tempted!

After all, that was the largest alliance in the northern part of the entire Western Continent.

If we could take them all over, the resources and other treasures we would gain would be unimaginable!
However, while they were tempted, they also had to consider practical issues.

The Ice Crystal King sighed helplessly, "Lord Cao Xing, although we also want to destroy the North Wind Alliance immediately, it won't be that easy."

"Besides the problem I mentioned above, there's an even more important obstacle..."

"There are still obstacles? What are they?" Cao Xing asked.

"Their stronghold, Silverlight Fortress, is located in a highly defensive fortress. It is said to have been created by excavating an ancient ruin and then transforming it."

"It is filled with all kinds of large-scale war equipment, and even super weapons that can damage or even severely injure legendary-level powerhouses."

"In addition, there are the various large formations they have set up around this fortress over the years."

"To take down Silvershine Fortress, we'll probably have to pay a considerable price..."

After a pause, the Ice Crystal King continued, "Moreover, there's an even more crucial reason: the North Wind Alliance... still has demigod-level powerhouses..."

"A demigod?" Cao Xing frowned.

The Ice Crystal King nodded heavily, his tone tinged with apprehension: "That's right."

"I think you've heard some rumors too. The Son of the North Wind you killed had a mysterious mother..."

"Based on our investigations over the years, his mother definitely possesses demigod-level strength."

"And... he's not just any ordinary demigod!"

"They are at least stronger than the bloodline leaders we've encountered before, or even the Watcher leaders!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's pupils contracted slightly.

The statement that it is even more powerful than 'Lo' is incredibly impressive!
Cao Xing pressed further, "In that case, I killed her son and her husband this time."

"If this demigod is so powerful, why doesn't he attack me?"
