Ancestor Bodhi rejected him directly. “Let me put it to you in this way. The tree had been harmed by a strong demonic poison back at Dairaionji Temple. This poison is extremely rare and is among the top three most potent poisons of this universe.”
“The tree’s vitality gradually weakens every day, and even limitless holy energy can’t remove the poison. Only its own cleansing powers can remove the poison little by little. I’m not sure how long it’ll take, but this process cannot be stopped, or it will surely die once the demonic poison is triggered. And the soul planted in your father can’t be restricted anymore.”
Alex frowned. “I didn’t know it was that serious. Alright, I understand now.”
The tree couldn’t offer him any help. He could only rely on himself now.
At the time, Julian was coming nearer, and his grandsons had long set up traps for him in front.
Alex immediately drilled into the ground, using the Earth Escape Technique to its absolute limit. He refused to believe that Julian, an old-timer, could dig into the Earth faster than him.
Thuck… Thuck… Thuck..
He dug a thousand meters into the ground, then two thousand meters, three thousand… Ten thousand meters…
Alex continued going deeper and deeper.
Julian didn’tknow about the Earth Escape Technique. At first, he punched the ground, leaving a large crater in it. However, he could feel that the distance between him and Alex was… Rapidly increasing. If this continued, he would lose track of Alex. If that happened, even the soul imprint wouldn’t work
He couldn’t possibly let that happen.
“Come out, Dao killing sword!”
Julian took out his supreme weapon. It was the most powerful weapon he had, a gigantic ten meter long sword.
“Go!”
Layers of light sparked upon the sword as Julian filled it with Chi. The sword pierced the ground and glowed. It punctured a large hole in the ground. Julian then followed closely behind as the sword kept digging deeper.
He slowed down and rubbed his palms.
Ancestor Bodhi was taken aback “What are you trying to do, kid?”
Alex said, “Since it’s such an impressive weapon, I have to take it as my own.”
Ancestor Bodhi was shocked. “Have you gone mad?! That guy behind you has nearly reached the Heavenly Deity stage. You’d be killed in one slap. It’s just impossible for you to take the weapon away from him unless he’s that dumb.”
Alex didn’t know if Julian was dumb, but he was pretty sure he wasn’t. Thus, he used the technique in the opposite direction and rushed towards the sword.
Julian immediately sensed him, stunned for a second. ‘What’s up with that kid? Could he have known that he has no chance of escaping and returned to beg for mercy?’
He saw a thick tree trunk appear from Alex’s body in the next moment; Chaos Chi spewed from it, so rich that it surprised him. It went straight for the sword and instantly wrapped him tightly.
