The immense magical power erupted like a tidal wave, creating tremendous wind pressure. Everyone was already doing their best just trying to keep their balance.

Standing majestically atop the serpentine, malevolent creature, the girl's head underwent a bizarre and horrifying transformation. It split open in a grotesque manner, like an abyss giving birth to chaotic life, with flesh and blood sprouting and intertwining on both sides, interwoven with blood vessels, gradually evolving into the astonished and blank faces of Bazel and Sauron.

Erica's head was struck by a grotesque laugh, and two thick arms woven from vines grew out from her sides. They then plunged deep into the open throats of Bazel's and Sauron's heads, churning and swirling, forcibly pulling the two weapons made of flesh and vines from their mouths.

What they were were a massive scepter made of flesh and blood and an equally enormous greatsword, held in their left and right hands respectively, with dark magic swirling around them like a whirlwind.

Beneath that imposing, colossal body, Ye Xiao's solitary figure in front appeared as insignificant as a leaf falling in the wind.

"Hahahaha! Trinity, I too will become eternal!"

"Offer your souls to me, mortals... Be honored to become nourishment for the gods!!!"

Erica's maniacal laughter echoed through the night sky as she simultaneously swung her right hand at the humans beneath her, unleashing a greatsword formed from solidified flesh and blood.

The ugly weapon unleashed a magnificent and pure crescent-shaped sword aura, carrying snowflakes as it hurtled straight toward Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately dodged, then gritted his teeth and charged towards the towering behemoth amidst the aftershocks of the sword's force.

The players from the Seven Luminaries Society behind them scattered hastily. The massive sword energy plowed through the ground, tearing a deep, abyss-like crack. Even those grazed by the aftershocks of the sword energy instantly splattered with blood.

Freya immediately summoned holy light to heal everyone's injuries. Greta had not yet fully recovered from the backlash, but she also raised her two claws to summon a small blood-red magic circle, ready to defend everyone against the next round of attacks.

On Ye Xiao's side, relying on his beast-transformed body to withstand the sword energy and wind pressure, he finally approached the crazed serpent. However, the opponent gently raised his staff in his left hand, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a stone pillar instantly struck down from the sky and hit Ye Xiao's head.

The thunder roared and rumbled, but the tiny human figure was nowhere to be seen in the deep crater created by the lightning strike.

A barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed past the bloated human head on the centipede's body, and the next moment Ye Xiao, holding a long sword, arrived as promised.

Drawing the sword...

Ye Xiao gathered his strength, but before he could unleash his powerful slash, the centipede with its left hand gently raised its staff, and a sudden gust of wind erupted around it, forcefully sending Ye Xiao flying.

A violent gust of wind swirled him through the air, sending him spinning several times before he tumbled to the ground. Before Ye Xiao could even regain his footing and get up, the shadow cast by the giant sword above him covered his entire body.

At the critical moment, a red magic circle suddenly appeared beside Ye Xiao, and the sudden gravitational impact gently pushed his body sideways.

"boom"

The next moment, the giant sword crashed down, and the entire summit of Mount Valond trembled violently with this strike.

"Ye Xiao!!!" Skadi, who was still being healed by the holy light, exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this scene.

"I'm fine..."

That being said, the aftershocks of the sword energy tore several bloody gashes from Ye Xiao's body, and the blood splattered on the ground was a shocking sight.

He lay panting heavily on the ground, staring at the rock slabs that had been shattered into a sheer cliff. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. If it weren't for Greta's gravity magic push at the crucial moment, he probably would have been turned into mincemeat.

Ella is still sealed in the tree canopy. Although she is holding on thanks to the True Life Sprout that she has fused with, things could go completely wrong if she dies.

The centipede with the human head is linked to the Tree of Life, and after devouring both Bazel and Sauron, it becomes unimaginably powerful.

The greatsword was incredibly powerful, but the most troublesome thing was the staff in the opponent's hand. Its instant-cast extraordinary spells, which had almost no wind-up, made it impossible for Ye Xiao to find a chance to get close.

Ella's black flames will be suppressed by the vines of the Tree of Life, and sword energy or attack spells without black flames will find it difficult to reach the threshold of breaking through her defenses.

Is this... the end...?

Looking at Ye Xiao's bloodied appearance, Li Cheng felt a sense of despair.

He had already noticed that Ye Xiao was already exhausted from the battle, and now, after being injured, he hadn't been able to get up for half a day.

If even Ye Xiao falls, they will undoubtedly lose this battle.

"This is what happens when you defy me, you insignificant ant! Hahahaha!"

As Erica's shrill laughter rang out, an overwhelming sense of despair began to spread.

But the thin, blood-covered figure staggered and slowly got up again in front of everyone.

"Brother Ye...you..."

"Don't worry, I've got a solution."

Although Ye Xiao's voice revealed a hint of weakness, it still maintained a steady and resilient tone, like a piece of duckweed floating against the wind in a storm, drifting with the current but never being completely swallowed by the raging waves.

"……OK!"

Li Cheng immediately patted his face to calm himself down. Ye Xiao, who was at the very front, had remained so calm. How could he panic first?

Ye Xiao stared at the Tree of Life behind the centipede-headed creature, quickly communicated the tactics with Li Cheng using his mind, and immediately got up and rushed forward again.

This time, the members of the Seven Stars Society raised their muskets first and launched a tight volley of cover.

Erica's face showed disdain. She raised her staff and a solid magic shield appeared in front of her. Now that she personally controlled the power of the extraordinary mage, how could she let the other party find an opportunity to hit her by hitting her in the air?

But the next second, the projectiles trailing flames struck the shield and exploded into thick clouds of black smoke, like a giant curtain that instantly enveloped the vision of the three bloated heads of the centipede.

This time, the Seven Stars Society members didn't fire armor-piercing enchanted bullets, but smoke bombs.

"The laughable skills of ants!"

Erica raised her staff, and a storm swept out again, instantly clearing away the smoke and revealing Ye Xiao, who was trying to hide inside.

Its greatsword swung down immediately, but as the blade struck, Erica suddenly realized that the figure was just an afterimage.

The three heads and the eyes on their bodies darted around simultaneously, immediately locking onto a figure that had silently swept across the sky.

"Got you!"

Erica grinned maliciously and raised her staff, a bolt of lightning instantly striking down and locking the figure in mid-air with no way to escape.

At the same time, Greta's cat paws lifted slightly in the distance, and her crimson staff opened on Ye Xiao's body in mid-air. Another gravity spell impact caused Ye Xiao's body to suddenly change its trajectory in the air, narrowly avoiding the falling lightning.

Then another round of missiles suddenly shot out; it turned out that the Seven Stars Society members had deliberately split into two groups to take turns firing.

Erica impatiently raised her staff to prepare to cast a Gale spell, while simultaneously widening her eyes to lock onto Ye Xiao's location.

But the next moment, the bullets suddenly exploded prematurely, shooting out blinding light, like tiny suns suddenly blooming in the dark night.

"what!!!"

The hundreds of eyes on the centipede's head were simultaneously illuminated by the sudden burst of bright light, causing it to tremble and emit painful howls.

Having anticipated all of this, Ye Xiao covered his eyes with his clothes and, before the bright light flashed, threw a flying knife that slashed through the night sky, heading straight for the centipede-headed creature behind him.

After a brief stimulation, the centipede with the human head reacted immediately by screaming and using a whirlwind spell to defend itself. The intervals between these spells were very short, and Ye Xiao was blown away even when he was still a short distance away from the centipede.

But the throwing knife that had grazed around the opponent while he was stunned had already reached behind the centipede, and with a gust of wind, it bounced steadily toward the Tree of Life behind him.

As soon as Ye Xiao landed again, he instantly teleported to the front of the Tree of Life using the ability to shift his form.

The centipede with the human head, its vision still blurry, was surprised to see Ye Xiao disappear, but it quickly pinpointed Ye Xiao's location by looking at the human face imprinted behind it.

"Damn insect, you think you can destroy the Tree of Life?!"

The centipede with the human head sneered, realizing that its only attack method with divine power, the black flame, had no effect on the Tree of Life. Even if it got close, what could it do?

But the next moment, the bloated head was stunned to see a wheel with twelve black sparks appear in front of Ye Xiao.

Wait, what is that?!

Chapter 210 Please Witness

After killing Zhu Jun, the Destiny Star Chart fell into Ye Xiao's hands.

As a player, there's no reason not to pick up rare equipment when it drops.

This item, which allows the release of any forbidden spell of the mage class through the sacrifice of life force, is also a divine artifact for Ye Xiao.

To record spells on the Destiny Chart, one needs a caster who can master the corresponding spell to inscribe it, or to use a corresponding spell scroll.

Although Ye Xiao doesn't have the Shadow Mage class and can't use the shadow spells mentioned above, if he were to re-record them, he wouldn't be able to unlock the later skills of his Miracle Mage class, so he also wouldn't be able to record any powerful time or space spells.

But besides the Miracle Warlock, Ye Xiao also has another mage class—the Hell Warlock.

Ye Xiaohui has very few skills in this profession, but the spell recording function does not require Ye Xiaohui to know this spell; someone else can do it.

And this "other person" is none other than the magical cat licking its paws from behind.

Recording spells does not require the use of spells, so Greta can inscribe any forbidden spells on it without suffering any backlash.

Taking advantage of this subtle opening, Ye Xiao can now read spells that even Greta herself dares not use in the real world—

"I pledge my blood, my soul, and all I hold dear in this insignificant world, to offer up the sins of this world..."

Ye Xiao raised one hand and began chanting, and one deep red magic circle after another opened in mid-air.

Erica's bloated head immediately sensed something was wrong, howled, and raised her staff to interrupt, but just as it was distracted, a spear woven from metal wire suddenly ripped through the night sky and pierced through its left hand that was holding the staff.

This was the attack that Freya summoned with divine power. Her skin showed some metallic backlash as a result. However, this surprise attack was followed by the third volley of the Seven Luminaries Society, which immediately caused the centipede to stagger and let out a painful howl.

The vines of the Tree of Life quickly grew back from the centipede's body to heal the wounds, but this delay was enough for Ye Xiao to finish chanting all the spells.

"...In the eternal night, I call upon the greedy ruler of the depths of hell, the king of slaughter—the demon god Mammon! Grant me the flames that tear the netherworld apart, to burn this land to ashes!!!"

As Ye Xiao finished speaking, the earth trembled, and a bottomless crack appeared in the center of the deep red magic circle, like an open eye.

Three enormous, vicious dog heads, their necks bound with thick chains, burst forth from the rift that led straight to hell, spewing crimson flames at the Tree of Life with deafening roars.

The raging torrent of flames instantly penetrated the tough tree trunk, burning through it layer by layer and creating a dark tunnel.

Then, the powerful laws of the present world immediately closed the rift, and the ferocious and hideous giant dog's head seemed to be suddenly pulled back to hell by an invisible hand.

As the flames subsided, Ye Xiao saw a tall, thin woman draped in white gauze and entangled in countless withered branches hanging her head inside the large, red-hot hole.

Alyosha, the divine body of this deity is the core of the Tree of Life.

However, that forbidden technique just now drained Ye Xiao's life points to almost nothing, but it only barely broke through the tree bark's solid defense, and still couldn't reach the most crucial core.

In a moment of crisis, Ye Xiao immediately used his staff to summon "Healing Holy Light," intending to recover his health and unleash another attack. However, seeing this scene, the centipede with its head already contorted in fury was not about to give Ye Xiao another chance to cast a forbidden spell. It screamed and charged forward, brandishing its staff.

This time, the centipede withstood the shots fired from behind by the Seven Stars Society and others, and directly summoned a bolt of heavenly lightning to strike Ye Xiao.

"boom"

The lightning bolt struck Ye Xiao squarely, blasting him away with a deafening roar, like a leaf helplessly drifting in the wind.

However, the tentacles he bumped into at the crucial moment saved Ye Xiao's life. He got up, his body charred black, only to find the enormous figure of the centipede with the human head already in front of him, completely blocking Ye Xiao's path to the Tree of Life.

"Damn insects, how dare you defile my sacred tree! I will pulverize you to pieces!!!"

Erica's head screamed, but it didn't notice that among the bullets Seven Stars had fired at it, several smoke grenades had formed a gray curtain amidst the dust rising from the battlefield, quietly obscuring half the sky above the hall.

"Don't worry, I won't touch it again..." Ye Xiao, his face charred black, smiled and coughed out a cloud of black smoke. "Cough, after all, that thing is about to die."

The centipede with the human head paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and immediately turned around.

But it was too late. A beastly roar ripped through the night sky, and the manticore emerged from the smoke that obscured the sky. A tall, slender figure leaped off the manticore's back, her rapier wreathed in dragon breath of ice and fire.

"Damn it!!! Stop!!!"

The centipede with the human head let out a heart-wrenching howl and twisted its huge body in an attempt to defend itself, but right behind its head, Ye Xiao's figure had already silently leaped up, and the wolf claws on his arms clenched into fists and delivered a heavy blow to Erica's head.

"bang"

The centipede's slender body was bent by the powerful punch, and its three heads, joined together, were slammed into the ground by the force of the violent impact, creating a deep crater.

At the same time, Skadi leaped into the large hole in the tree trunk, chanting a sword incantation that had been recorded in her family's annals for thousands of years without being read aloud, her rapier gleaming like a twinkling star.

"By swearing an oath of blood to the twin dragons, let frost and flames resonate in unison..."

"My ancestral spirits, bear witness to the glory of my sword, that it may protect the empire without end!!!"

A vortex of ice and fire erupted from the sword tip in an instant. The dragon breath, interwoven with red and blue, pierced the darkness like a spiral cone of light, falling from the night sky like a comet streaking across the heavens. It precisely pierced the deepest part of the tree trunk, reaching Alyosha's chest, which was sealed in white gauze.

Alyosha, whose eyes were hidden under the white veil, suddenly opened them at this moment, and her muffled roar was like an ancient lament that transcended time.

The sudden burst of divine power blasted the frail Skadi out of the cave, and the entire Tree of Life trembled violently, as if struggling and twisting in pain.

“Damn it!!!”

Erica's arms, wielding weapons, went mad and chaotic, all her faces contorted into terrifying grotesque shapes, emitting piercing screams that exceeded the limits of human eardrums.

Its body is connected to the Tree of Life, and the wounds inflicted on the tree are a thousand times more painful than any attack on itself.

Although the forbidden technique from Greta could continue to damage the centipede, it required draining his life force as a price. Ye Xiao had ways to recover, so he didn't dare to use a forbidden technique that was too powerful, lest he just die from the draining.

However, he no longer needed to activate the forbidden technique; with just this one move, he had already achieved his goal.

Chapter 211 The Saintess of Life

Taking advantage of the centipede's frenzy, Ye Xiao darted towards Skadi, who had been blasted away by the divine shockwave, like lightning. He quickly picked up the heavily injured girl, threw a flying knife, and used a teleportation technique to instantly create distance between himself and his enemy.
