The system is the proficiency panel

The core of the Quicksand Forest.

The Whispering Root Agares felt the further depletion of the earth vein energy, and felt several powerful auras rushing towards it without any concealment!

"Roar--!"

The huge, corrupt ancient tree trembled violently and let out a deafening roar. It was no longer a spiritual murmur, but a materialized sound wave, a mixture of tremendous anger and a hint of madness that came from being forced into desperation.

The dark red, almost black, decayed matter on its surface squirmed frantically, countless roots bursting out of the earth like a dancing python, whipping the air and emitting a piercing scream. The viscous mental force field in the core area instantly became violent, attempting to squeeze and erode the intruder's will.

The obsidian debris buried deep in the core of the tree flickered rapidly, and the embryo that had already taken shape was pulsating violently, rapidly absorbing the last stored energy and emitting a heart-pounding evil fluctuation.

"Blasphemers! You will eventually become food for our Lord's coming!"

As soon as Lin Ji and his six companions stepped into the core ruins, they were subjected to an unprecedented and frenzied attack.

The earth cracked open, and countless thick roots entwined with foul lightning pierced forward like giant spears from hell! The sky was blanketed in a dark red barrage of corrupted energy, like a torrential rain! Even more terrifying was the mental shock that enveloped the entire core area, a mixture of desperate wails and frantic ravings, continuously assaulting the barriers of everyone's souls.

"Genshan·Immovable Seal."

Master Pang Bin pressed his hands lightly, and an ochre-colored light suddenly surged, stabilizing the ground beneath everyone and resisting the pulling and tearing of the roots. At the same time, thick rock shields appeared out of thin air, blocking the corrupted energy bombs that escaped.

"Soul Barrier."

Master Olivier chanted quickly, pointing his staff to the sky. A silver-white light curtain fell, temporarily strengthening the soul barrier around everyone and resisting the crazy mental attack.

The appearance of this invisible barrier allowed Lin Ji and Feng Tian, ​​the weakest among the six, to easily resist the mental attacks of the Whispering Root.

The space-time domain silently unfolded, with Lin Ji as the center. The surrounding light was slightly distorted, and the flow of time quietly changed. For Lin Ji and the other six, their movements and reactions suddenly accelerated.

The violent attacks of the Whispering Root, whether it was the filthy roots breaking out of the ground or the corrupt barrage pouring down, became slow and predictable in the eyes of Lin Ji and the other six.

Needless to say, the six figures suddenly dispersed and tacitly rushed towards the core of the madly dancing corrupt ancient tree.

Pu Jianxing led the charge. A month of seclusion had not only fully healed his injuries, but his sword intent, tempered by the backlash of the rules, had become even purer and more powerful. He now held nothing back, his azure robe billowing as he merged with his sword, transforming into a stunning azure rainbow that ripped through the sky. Wherever he passed, the thick roots that attempted to obstruct him were silently severed, their cuts smooth as mirrors, the corrupted energy clinging to him annihilated by pure sword intent before it could erupt.

Master Pang Bin followed closely behind. He was no longer just defending. As his palms flew, phantoms of mountains appeared out of thin air, like wedges driven into the earth, forcibly suppressing the regeneration and surge of the Whispering Root.

Elder Selanville hovered in mid-air, waving his ancient staff and chanting a long and powerful elven incantation. In the sky, brilliant spears of pure energy coalesced into shape, like rain of judgment, striking precisely at the most violently wriggling, most volatile, and most corroded nodules on the ancient tree's trunk, exploding into balls of dark red, foul fireworks.

Master Olivier focused on the earth. He slammed his staff into the ground, and emerald green light spread out like ripples, remotely resonating with the four earth vein dredging spirit vortex formations, further strengthening the control and stripping of the earth veins in this area, as if pulling away the foothold of a beast.

Feng Tian let out a long roar, the sound was like the clear cry of a phoenix, and the fire of Nirvana around him burned fiercely, turning into a stream of scorching fire. Wherever the flame passed, the madly dancing tiny roots and the corrupt spores attached to them were instantly burned to nothingness. Although it could not destroy the main body of the Whispering Forest, it could still clean up some of the stray hairs.

Lin Ji was at the core of the space-time realm, his movements the most cunning and unpredictable. He would appear and disappear, each time finding himself in a vulnerable spot in the ancient tree's defenses. Each swing of the setting sun would leave tiny wounds. He was more like an assassin in control of the situation, constantly creating opportunities for others.

The six people each performed their duties and coordinated seamlessly, rapidly approaching the core despite the Whispering Root's hysterical counterattack.

Whispering Root Agares went completely mad. It sensed an unprecedented threat approaching the wreckage at its core, its leyline energy being drastically stripped away, and the external attacks were sharp and precise. Its vast consciousness uttered a silent scream, unconcerned with any further consumption. All its remaining roots lashed and pierced frantically like the tentacles of a dying beast, even going so far as to self-destruct parts of them, unleashing a terrifying shockwave of corrupted energy.

The entire core area was shaking, and the foul energy surged like a tsunami.

At this moment, Xiao Ningxue, who was far away in the canyon stronghold, had a cold light flash in her eyes.

The energy accumulated in the [Tianshu·Pure Evil and Break the Realm Axe] array has reached its peak.

"The axe falls!"

Her cold voice was like an order, and her hands pressing on the core of the formation suddenly pressed down.

Tsk-!

A blue beam of light with a diameter of more than 100 meters, condensed to be almost tangible, seemed to come from the sky, instantly crossing the distance of space, and tiny ripples appeared in the space wherever it passed.

This attack ignored all the corrupted energy and root barriers that tried to intercept it along the way. They melted silently like ice and snow under the sun.

The next moment, this destructive beam of light hit the Whispering Root Agares with incredible precision at the point where the main root system and the trunk, where the thickest part and energy fluctuations were the most core, were connected!

Boom! ! !

The deafening roar seemed to tear one's eardrums.

The dazzling blue light and the dark red and almost black corrupt energy collided and annihilated violently!

The trunk of the huge ancient tree twisted and trembled violently, and a huge charred hole with its edges constantly being purified appeared at the bombardment site. Countless cracks spread out from the hole in all directions, like broken porcelain.

"Roar--!!!"

The Whispering Root let out the most shrill and painful roar in history. This blow truly dealt a heavy blow to its roots!

Lin Ji, who had been fighting on the periphery and creating opportunities, had a gleam in his eyes.

It's now!

The power of the space-time realm gathered in front of him with unprecedented intensity.

Time and space, condensed light, split the sky!

The longsword in his hand emitted a long humming sound. The space-time atmosphere within the blade fluctuated violently, stretching the velocity of time inside and outside to an astonishing difference. To the outside world, it seemed like a fleeting moment, but to the energy bound to the blade, it had undergone a long period of accumulation and compression.

A subtle yet indescribably bright sword light appeared.

The next moment, Lin Ji's figure and the sword light disappeared together.

It was not a movement in space, but it integrated itself into the time flow that was accelerated hundreds of times. At a speed beyond perception, it rushed into the interior of the Whispering Root along the huge wound opened up by the [Tianshu·Jingxie Pojie Yue], and pierced the obsidian debris that was hidden deep in the tree core and pulsating more and more rapidly.

"Stop him and create opportunities for Lin Ji."

Master Olivier exclaimed, waving his staff and casting spells quickly.

Pu Jianxing, Pang Bin, Seranville, and Feng Tian instantly burst out with their strongest power, suppressing the ancient tree that had fallen into final madness due to damage to its core and was trying to shrink its defense at all costs!

The inside of the Whispering Root is not the imagined wooden structure, but a sticky, wriggling dark red flesh cavity, filled with disgusting corrupted energy and sharp mental attacks.

Lin Ji's four mental states circulated throughout his body. The power of purification, control, and growth barely resisted the erosion. The space-time domain was also greatly suppressed here, becoming extremely unstable. But his target was extremely clear - the obsidian debris in front of him, wrapped in an embryo, violently pulsating, and emitting a terrifying suction!

The embryo seemed to sense a fatal threat, and its surface suddenly cracked into countless mouths full of sharp teeth, emitting a silent soul scream. At the same time, it stretched out countless black tentacles made of pure abyss energy and grabbed Lin Ji.

Lin Ji's eyes were icy as he ignored the grasping tentacles and thrust all his strength, along with the sword he had accumulated to its peak, into the center of the wreckage without reservation. Sky-Splitting, empowered by Condensed Light, was Lin Ji's most powerful attack. He was confident that this strike would rival the destructive power of a Jindan Zhenren.

Space cracks, swallowing everything.

Lin Ji didn't see what impact this sword had. The next moment he moved away from this dangerous place without hesitation.

Lin Ji suddenly appeared beside Pu Jianxing, his breathing slightly hurried. The all-consuming Space-Time Condensation Light-Split Air attack, coupled with the urgent spatial movement, had consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy. But his gaze, sharp as lightning, immediately turned to the severely damaged Whispering Root core.

On the thousand-meter-high trunk of the corrupt ancient tree, at the edge of the huge hole blasted by the Tianshu·Jingxie Pojie Yue, the azure purifying power and the dark red corrupting energy were still fighting fiercely, making a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.

However, what was even more eye-catching was that deep in the cave, a sword mark cut through the main body of the Whispering Root, and several tiny but extremely deep black cracks appeared out of thin air, as if the space itself was torn into an unhealable wound.

At the edge of the crack, the spatial structure was extremely unstable, constantly cutting and devouring the surrounding trees. This was the result of Lin Ji's sword, which condensed the artistic conception of time and space and the ultimate sword edge!

"Roar--!!!"

Whispering Root Agares let out an even more shrill scream, even one tinged with fear. Its massive body twitched and spasmed with unprecedented intensity, and all of its frantically dancing roots collapsed as if their strength had been drained away, then suddenly straightened!

The obsidian debris buried deep in the core of the tree had the embryo wrapped around its surface severely twisted, and its originally rapid and powerful beating suddenly became chaotic and intermittent, like a damaged heart.

Although Lin Ji's sword strike from the inside out failed to directly injure the wreckage itself, it contained the sword intent of tearing through time and space and the destructive energy accumulated by Ningguang, which cleverly cut out a crack in space. As soon as the obsidian-like wreckage came into contact with the crack in space, the crack that was originally slowly healing collapsed again, and even spread out several new fine lines!

The evil fluctuations emanating from the wreckage instantly became chaotic and weak, and it began to frantically absorb the vitality of the Whispering Root.

"efficient!"

Master Pang Bin's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly. The mountain shadows pushed out by his palms shone brightly, and he took the opportunity to suppress the large number of wriggling roots in front of him directly into the ground.

"Don't give it a chance to breathe!"

Elder Seranville shouted loudly, and the staff in his hand guided the light spears falling from the sky to bombard the trunk of the ancient tree more intensively, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.

Master Olivier slammed his staff to the ground, and emerald green light wrapped around the base of the Whispering Root like a chain, isolating it from its last attempt to draw weak energy from the earth.

Feng Tian let out a long roar, and the fire of Nirvana turned into flaming feathers all over the sky, falling like a torrential rain, burning all the corrupted tissues that tried to regrow.

Pu Jianxing remained silent, but his sword intent had already reached its peak. He pointed his fingers like swords, pointing them at the black spatial crack at the core of the Whispering Root.

"Sword: Guixu."

His deep voice seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

A seemingly unadorned, exquisitely condensed sword energy silently penetrated the enemy's body. This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion; the Whispering Root was completely split in two.

The Whispering Root's roaring ceased abruptly, replaced by a desperate whimper that seemed to come from the depths of its soul. Its massive body withered, shrunken, and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the distant canyon stronghold, Xiao Ningxue, who was on the array plate, sensed the rapid decline of the evil fluctuations in the core area. Without hesitation, she activated the [Tianshu·Jie Pojie Yue] again.

"Second strike, cleanse the evil!"

Another slightly thinner but more concentrated blue light beam crossed the space and poured accurately into the hole in the trunk.

The massive, once-feared Whispering Root, Agares, had completely ceased its activity. Its trunk was riddled with holes, and from its vast holes no longer flowed foul energy, leaving only charred and shattered remains. Most of its roots had withered and broken, slumped to the ground like a dead python.

Seeing this, Lin Ji's face was solemn. The power of the Whispering Root was not enough to seriously injure Pu Jianxing. Being suppressed by six people was a world of difference from before. This could only mean that the remains of Morgaros had not yet used their full strength...

After thinking about this, Lin Ji turned around and looked to the side and spoke.

"Elder Selanville, let the Silver Crown prepare for the attack. This is not over yet."

"I've already notified them."

Seranville responded. As an elven wizard who had lived for a thousand years, he had experienced a lot and knew that matters concerning the gods could not end so easily. He had already notified the royal court to prepare.

As soon as the two finished their conversation, the dead Whispering Root in front of them changed.
