Chapter 680 - 366: Coral Tree Planted by the West State Boss (Part 3)
Crackling...
It’s the root system growing in knots!
Hissing...
The snakes are hissing in pain!
Bright white light roots spread through the snake swarm at a terrifying speed, igniting them like a spark, setting this ocean-like tide of snakes ablaze in an instant!
More and more spectators simply open their secretly widened eye slits, their eyes lit by the increasingly intense white light!
Their trembling turns to excitement!
Their fear turns to exhilaration!
They see the sea of snakes boiling in flashing white light and simultaneously have this thought... The West State Boss has made a move!
...
"Open the parachutes!"
"Open the parachutes!"
Hu Shanjiu, Feng Kaishan, and others shout, opening their parachutes above the stadium!
Boom!
Boom!
...Amidst the sound of air explosions, their descent speeds sharply slow down!
They widen their eyes in astonishment, seeing the already dark stadium suddenly light up again with white light!
"What’s going on?"
...
The packed audience in the stands, some open their eyes by themselves, others opened hurriedly as their partners pull their arms to remind them.
They see that in the center of the arena, the stage is gone, replaced by a massive, white, glowing tangled root system, resembling a coral tree, filling the entire interior, with fuzzy roots intruding into the audience, the spectators in the front row can reach out and touch it!
And on the branches of this coral tree, are hung shriveled snake skins of various sizes, dried of blood and flesh, the nutriments drained, like fallen leaves!
Under the coral tree, the rotten ground is strewn with Immortal Technique Committee members, with previous backup dancers, and with Hu Tiantian curled up in a bloody trembling heap, their blood-stained, scarred bodies illuminated by white light.
Click!
The first person takes out their phone to take a photo.
Click!
Click!
Click!
More and more people take out their phones, starting to take pictures, wanting to capture the gigantic white root system like a coral tree on their phones.
High up in the stands, Su Yaoyao sees the Red Treasure under the tree and can’t help but cover her face and cry.
"Sob sob... Sob sob..."
Bai Mo, expressionless, holding his disciple.
"The effect is quite good."
He turns his head coldly glancing at the direction of Celestial Universe Building in the distance.
...
"Ugh..."
In the cold night wind, Miyamoto Rokuzo kneels atop the Eight-headed Giant Serpent, or rather "Black Water Eight-headed Serpent", vomiting thick blood onto the scales at the serpent’s head.
He’s holding onto the serpent’s head with one hand, wiping the blood foam from his lips with the other.
"My snake nest... all died... how could it be..."
In his mind, the Snake-tailed Ancient Immortal stares out from its duck-egg-sized compound eyes, silent for a long time!
"No...not right... Did he use the Great Immortal Technique?
"There isn’t such a Great Immortal Technique, what plant is that?
"Could this Immortal Grass exist?"
Miyamoto Rokuzo wants to know too.
But his head hurts more and more, his consciousness grows more and more blurry.
There’s warm, sticky liquid on his face and around his ears.
It turns out, unknowingly, he has begun bleeding from all seven orifices.
He turns his head wanting to look at his followers, only to find his field of vision blocked... All he can see are glowing white roots growing from the serpentine scales on the Eight-headed’s head, growing taller, more lush, thicker, more branching, like coral trees!
And he is submerged within this coral forest.
He suddenly understands.
"So Eight-headed is already dead.
"Then... am I going to die too?"
...
Click!
Click!
In the constant sound of photos being taken by the audience, this massive coral tree growing from white roots continues to grow endlessly, even towering over the arena, waving in the night breeze!
...
Hu Shanjiu, hanging from the parachute descending slowly, stunned by the scene below while feeling the cold wind.
"What is this?"
...
On the Immortal Discussion Forum, in the live broadcast room, popularity is still skyrocketing!
They still cannot see inside the arena.
But they can see outside the arena via drone footage from high above.
[Oh my god, what is that?]
[Is it tonight’s main event?]
[The West State Boss is in action again, isn’t he?]
[Regretting not watching live, what should I do?]
...
By the riverside, Round Stone Ancient Immortal stands with hands behind the back, staring at the picture in the river, staring intently!
"Root System Domain, the first to kill, is it really so?"
...
In the laboratory, Mo Lanyou watches the live broadcast, laughing out loud.
"Haha!
"HAHAHAHA!
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!
"What is this thing? Is it a new Great Immortal Technique?"
Beside, Professor Zhang beams with joy, thoroughly relieved.
With the West State Boss making a move, the rest isn’t a concern.
In his mind, Qing Lu Ancient Immortal casts a glance at his phone screen, at the live broadcast.
"This... there’s no such Great Immortal Technique.
"It’s just a plant specifically to counter snake species, specifically to counter the Black Water Eight-headed Serpent.
"A special root system?
"Where did it come from? Couldn’t it be...
"Hmm?"
...
In the rented room, Sun Jinsong has a complex expression, holding his phone, watching the live broadcast.
"Master, is this the Great Immortal Technique?
"The Great Immortal Technique of the Root Domain?"
In his mind, Ancient Immortal shakes his head.
"It’s not a Great Immortal Technique, merely a special root system."
Sun Jinsong inexplicably breathes a sigh of relief.
"Phew... scared me, I thought he had condensed another root system container!
"You see, it’s impossible; his Flower Vase just appeared, it can’t condense into a root system container so quickly."
Ancient Immortal chuckles wryly.
"Actually... um... such a root system hasn’t appeared in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.
"What I mean is... it’s something he created himself.
"He defeated the snake nest, killed the Master of Complex Spirits, not using Great Immortal Technique, but using knowledge."
Saying so, even Ancient Immortal becomes dizzy, finding it incredible.
The next sentence leaves Sun Jinsong stunned.
"Such a level of knowledge must have already condensed."
After being stunned for a long time, Sun Jinsong looks at the live broadcast.
The live broadcast is a long shot. One can see in the night, the tall buildings of West State, see the stadium, and the distant Celestial Universe Building, each with a giant coral tree emitting white light growing out!
Two coral trees, one tall one short, gently swaying, echoing each other in the night.
