Episode 18 – The Elder Gods Chapter 26 – The Choice

The black poisonous mist instantly invaded Linley’s mind, and even began to erode the repaired gap in the Soul Defense Diaphragm, which Linley had spent more than two hundred years repairing to this point after he had reached Elder God. Once it was breached, then these two hundred years of achievements would be lost in one go!

“Hmph.” Linley’s soulforce immediately attacked the black poisonous mist as if it were a shockwave.

The soulforce, which was suffused with a cyan-colored halo, lightning-like, continuously impacted the black poisonous mist until it was annihilated.

“Boss, this big snake is really difficult to deal with.” Bebe transmitted his voice.

“Roar that giant green snake angrily flicked its tail, its long body transforming into a green phantom as it lashed out towards the duo of Linley and Bebe.

Linley’s gaze went cold.

“Shoo!” Linley’s dragon tail also flung violently, coming to a clash with that snake’s tail with a “Splat!” With a sound, Linley’s body couldn’t help but rebound and fly tens of meters away, while that giant green snake curled back into the trunk of the Underworld Fruit Tree.

“This giant snake’s snake skin is really tough.” Linley was secretly astonished, “It’s also slippery enough!”

“Hmph.” Bebe, however, charged directly towards the Underworld Fruit after Linley rebounded away. The giant green snake naturally flung its tail, as if it were a whirlwind stirring up space, and directly lashed towards Bebe. Bebe, however, laughed sinisterly, and the divine lattice dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, poking down hard at the snake tail that had drawn it!

“Puff —-”

That dagger couldn’t help but slip on the snake’s skin, only leaving a relatively deep white mark, and the finely ground snake scales only shattered two or three pieces.

“Huh?” Bebe marveled. At the same time, Soul Transmission said, “Boss. How is this big snake so much stronger than that kind of small green snake’s body, and also so slippery, even my God’s Grid weapon didn’t pierce through it at once! By the way, boss …… you quickly go to grab the Underworld Fruit, this big snake I come to wrap him! He can’t help me yet!”

“Kid, I want you to die!”

The green giant snake was furious when it saw two or three of its snake scales shattered, and with a roar, it swept towards Bei Bei once again. Its fangs were sharp, but they weren’t tough enough. In terms of toughness. Its snake skin is the strongest. For so many years …… no one has been able to leave a wound on it.

“Whoosh.” Linley was very relieved for Bebe. It directly charged towards the Spectral Fruit.

“Whoosh.

Bebe was startled, as soon as this giant green snake touched him, it unexpectedly swept and bound him as a whole, as if it wanted to strangle him alive. “Hehe, the power is not small. But you want to strangle me to death with this amount of strength. Dream on.” Bebe tilted his head and stared at the head of the green giant snake. Not the slightest bit afraid.

The green giant snake’s entire body also exerted force, wanting to strangle Bebe to death.

It was exceptionally gifted, and strangling an Upper Deity to death with this body was a very easy thing. Even if it was an Upper Divine Artifact, when it was strangled by its body, it would have to twist and twist. But today it found …… that the teenager it was strangling at the moment, however, seemed to be a giant snake of metal lumps that couldn t be any harder. He also paid attention to the Linley situation at this moment.

“Eh?” Bebe was suddenly startled.

Only to see that when Linley approached the Underworld Fruit, a large number of branches seemed to be like soft willow branches, all sweeping towards Linley. Linley angrily slashed out that Staying Shadow divine Sword, the Staying Shadow divine Sword that operated the Laws of the Earth, its power reaching the extreme. Only a slight sound could be heard, and space cracked open.

“Poof!” The Shadow Retaining divine Sword struck a branch.

This branch was as thick as a thigh, but Linley’s Retained Shadow divine Sword struck it with all its might. Surprisingly, it only struck the center of the branch. Surprisingly, it was trapped within it. “Eh?” Linley suddenly felt …… a powerful fluctuation coming from the junction between the branch of the Underworld Fruit Tree and the Shadow Leaving Excalibur.

It directly assaulted his mind!

“Buzz Linley’s brain couldn’t help but feel dizzy. However, he was still able to resist, and at the same moment, a large number of other branches rolled in.

“Retreat!” Linley even drew his sword and retreated violently!

At the same time, the surface of his body filled with an earthy yellow light, directly forming a spherical black stone space, and a powerful repulsive force immediately acted on those branches. Although the branches slowed down, they still surrounded the area. Linley could only choose to dodge a little further away.

Linley was having a hard time, and that Buralei was also having a hard time, as he couldn’t do anything about the Underworld Fruit Tree either.

“Buralei, you said that this Underworld Fruit Tree is controlled by this snake spirit? How is it that this fruit tree can still perform soul attacks?” Lin Lei couldn’t help but drink, Lin Lei had already retreated a hundred meters away, while that Burleigh Lei likewise retreated away a hundred meters away, he shook his head and said, “Back when I first saw the Underworld Fruit …… that time, there were too many of these green snakes, I wasn’t able to get close at all. Also did not know that this Underworld Fruit Tree can soul attack. Now it seems that this Underworld Fruit Tree itself has intelligence!”

Linley suddenly understood in his heart —-

What exactly was that red-haired, pretty woman’s so-called tree and snake.

“Her so-called snake should be this large snake. And the tree, it should be that Underworld Fruit Tree.” Linley had just felt the power of the Spectral Fruit Tree, just one branch …… was actually able to withstand his own full strength sword. A sword from his own Godhead weapon had only cleaved into the center.

“En, repaired?” Linley was surprised to find that the branch he had just cleaved had healed.

“This Underworld Fruit Tree, it’s just like a normal god, physical injuries can be easily repaired.” Linley felt a headache coming on.

“Haha…… can’t do it anymore. It’s my turn then!” Bebe’s voice rang out abruptly.

Linley couldn’t help but look —-

Only to see that Bebe was being strangled by that green serpent with its snake body, seemingly about to strangle Bebe to death. But at this time” yo a piercing voice containing madness rang out, Bebe opened his mouth, and at the same time, a huge God Devouring Mouse phantom appeared around his body, and the God Devouring Mouse phantom’s cold eyes also stared at the green giant snake. The green giant snake was stunned and couldn’t help but feel bad!

A hint of coldness swept through Bebe’s eyes!

“Ah the miserable screams just rang out, and a black God Sigil emerged from that green giant snake’s head. It was directly swallowed into Bebe’s stomach. Instead, that green giant snake fell down powerless and died!

Talented Avatar —- Devouring God!

At the same moment that the green giant snake died. Some of the small green snakes that had originally survived on the leaves of the Underworld Fruit Tree turned into green energy and then dissipated into the heavens and earth with a bang. All of them died!

“Oh?” Linley suddenly understood.

Those little green snakes should be a part of the giant green snake, or rather, they existed on the back of the giant green snake. Now that the snake spirit had died, those little snakes would be finished as well.

“Still dare to be arrogant with me!” Bebe grunted.

The two brothers, Buralei and Bulong, who were in the distance, were staring at Bebe in disbelief, and they had just seen Bebe perform the God Devouring Avatar, a natural talent that didn’t belong to any laws or rules. Rather, it exceeds outside of it. Once it is cast …… it also makes the two people of Burleigh Lei and Bulong panic.

How can you resist in the face of this move?

This is directly dealing with your Godhead, I’m afraid that if your arcane comprehension is even stronger, you simply won’t even have the time to cast it!

“The Underworld Fruit is mine!” Bei Bei once again charged towards that Spectral Fruit Tree.

“Shasha all of a sudden the Underworld Fruit Tree seemed to go crazy, a large number of its branches dancing as if they were whips, directly sweeping and wrapping towards Bebe. Seeing this, Linley’s mind moved. At once, the surface of his body rapidly filled with black stone space, instantly enveloping an area hundreds of meters in circumference.

Gravity, towards the bottom!

Many of those branches couldn’t help but hang low, and they all endeavored to struggle to hold themselves up to grab Bebe.

“Shoo.” Linley followed suit and flew over.

“Whoosh.” That Boreal Thunder no longer hesitated either, even seizing this opportunity to scurry over at breakneck speed.

The Underworld Fruit Tree trunks did move much slower, making it difficult to catch Bebe, Linley and the others, but …… these branches didn’t need to catch Linley and the others at all. Only to see a large number of branches, surprisingly easily twisted and entangled. Wrapping that Underworld Fruit heavily.

Lin Lei, Bei Bei, and Burleigh were dumbfounded.

How could they get the Underworld Fruit when it was all wrapped up?

“Last time, this Underworld Fruit Tree just blocked it very casually ah, it wasn’t this crazy!” Berlei said in disbelief.

The two of them, Linley and Bebe, levitated and stared at the Underworld Fruit Tree.

“Boss, what should we do?” Bebe inquired.

“There’s some trouble.” With a frown, Linley held the Shadow Retaining Excalibur and slashed viciously directly towards that Underworld Fruit Tree. The Shadow Retaining divine Sword had already turned transparent. Between the fluctuations of the sword’s shadow, space cracked open. The Shadow Retaining divine Sword slashed at those branches one after another. However, each sword was difficult to cleave through.

Hundreds of swords in a row! But after each sword cleave, those branches and trunks were immediately repaired.

“Whew!”

Suddenly, a large number of branches and trunks erupted abruptly, attacking the nearby Linley.

Linley’s face changed, and instantly the direction of the gravitational force of the black stone space changed —- repulsion!

The speed of those branches couldn’t help but decrease greatly, while Linley flew back away.

“Bebe, these branches are just too tough and there are too many of them again. I just slashed one sword, and before I could slash the second sword, the branches were repaired. And they also contain powerful soul attacks. A branch is not afraid to draw up, but a thousand draw up. And this branch is too strong. Once bound by it, it’s even more troublesome than being bound by that giant green snake.” Linley transmitted his voice.

“It seems like there’s only one way.” Bebe flew forward.

Suddenly —-

A tens of meters high ground God Devouring Rat silhouette plopped down behind Bebe, and that powerful aura caused the two of them, Borelei and Bulong, to be shocked. A strange energy then acted on that Underworld Fruit Tree.

“Casting this again. After casting this one, Bebe is going to rest.” Linley couldn’t help but secretly say.

Linley was very, very confident in Bebe, but the development of things shocked Linley: “How is this possible?” That Underworld Fruit Tree surprisingly didn’t have a Godhead emerging from it, and it didn’t have the slightest injury. Bebe, on the other hand, landed back, full of doubts, “Boss, I …… can’t feel that it has a Godhead!”

“Can’t feel it?” Linley was stunned. This Underworld Fruit Tree doesn’t have a divine lattice.” Bebe was all but certain.

“It’ll be troublesome if that’s the case. This Underworld Fruit Tree …… is no wonder that it can spawn a spiritual object like the Underworld Fruit, it’s indeed difficult.” Linley frowned, “But I heard that Burleigh Lei say that the last time the Phenomenal Fruit appeared, this Phenomenal Fruit Tree didn’t do anything major to stop it, it just slightly meant something. It just let people pick it. Why this time?”

Just at this time —-

“Whoosh!” That Burleigh Thunder turned into a phantom and charged towards that Underworld Fruit Tree once more, and Linley and Bebe didn’t rush over there. Instead, they watched as Buralei went to try this time.

“It’s simply impossible to resolve this Underworld Fruit Tree.” Linley said in his heart.

He didn’t think that Buralei had the slightest hope!

“Whew!” The large number of branches that had originally surrounded and wrapped around the Spectral Fruit abruptly dispersed. At the same time, they wrapped up towards Borel Lei …… Borel Lei violently split a branch that was closest to him and used the force to accelerate towards the Underworld Fruit. Those other branches seem to be around the speed of a slow beat —-

Burleigh Lei just from the branch encirclement scurried out, a hand will be that crystal clear Underworld fruit pick down.

“It’s mine!” Burleigh Thunder was pleasantly surprised.

At the same time, without hesitation, Buralei took a bite and swallowed the Underworld Fruit in three or two swallows.

Linley and Bebe froze as if they had been struck by lightning.

“What’s going on?” Bebe couldn’t believe it.

“Why didn’t that Underworld Fruit Tree stop it?” Linley couldn’t understand it either, with so many branches and trunks of the Underworld Fruit Tree, it was completely capable of stopping Burleigh. Even if it couldn’t be stopped …… it was completely possible to deal with it like it had just dealt with Linley and Bebe. Directly wrapped up the Underworld Fruit. This Burleigh naturally couldn’t get it.

But ……

This Underworld Fruit Tree was taking the initiative to spread out, slightly blocking it.

“This Underworld Fruit Tree, it seems to be intentionally favoring Buralei.” Linley said in disbelief.

“Suddenly the entire Underworld Fruit Tree shook, only to see the main trunk of the Underworld Fruit Tree begin to plunge into the ground, followed by a large number of branches plunging into the ground, while also dragging the body of that giant green snake into the ground as well. In just a few breaths of time, the Underworld Fruit Tree had completely entered the ground.

The Underworld Fruit Tree, leaving!

“Haha…… “Suddenly excitedly, a loud laugh rang out, only to see that Buralei opened his eyes once again.

“Eh?” Linley felt as though this Buralei’s entire aura had changed somewhat.

“Thank you both.” Buralei looked towards Linley and Bebe, and at this time, BuLong also ran over immediately in excitement, “Big brother, you made it?” Bu Long understood his big brother and how much he had suffered in order to obtain the Underworld Fruit. The first time he entered the Underworld Mountain, although he saw the Underworld Fruit, he didn’t get it.

And after that, he insisted on waiting, and cultivated and comprehended it, preparing for the next time.

Countless years of loneliness, but insisted, and finally succeeded. Two of you, that Underworld Fruit Tree, last time, it simply blocked you. This time it clearly intends to target you all.” Boreal Thunder laughed as he looked towards Linley and the two of them, “The way I see it, it should be because Bebe killed that Snake Spirit!”

“Snake spirit?” Linley and Bebe were startled in their hearts.

“This snake spirit has been staying with the Underworld Fruit Tree for countless years, so they must have deep feelings for each other. Do you think …… this Underworld Fruit Tree would be willing to give the Underworld Fruit that it has birthed, to you guys?” Buralei said with a smile.
