Chapter 140: Burning the Tree Roots

The Cthulhu Dominator corpse before his eyes had a head the size of a small villa.

It was the head of a dragon-like creature.

Behind the head stretched a body about a hundred meters long, covered in colorful scales.

This hundred-meter-long body was as thick as the head.

It looked like a serpent-dragon type of creature.

Only, it was unknown where the latter half of its body had gone.

The crystal glass tree’s roots, like transparent crystal, were densely rooted throughout the entire Cthulhu corpse.

They continuously drew energy from the Cthulhu remains.

And the energy of this Cthulhu remains seemed inexhaustible, even after so many years.

Gunie could see that the crystal tree was still constantly drawing energy from the half-corpse of this dragon creature.

The crystal tree’s invisible energy barrier only enveloped its main trunk near the ground, not covering or wrapping the roots below or the Cthulhu creature’s remains.

"Good thing it didn’t fully wrap around, or I wouldn’t get anything."

His World Insight spread out, and Gunie began to carefully search for any other small pieces of Cthulhu remains nearby.

After sensing for a while,

Gunie leaped directly to a spot not far underground.

This position was directly beneath the crystal glass tree.

Before Gunie’s eyes was a piece of Cthulhu remains about the size of a small wooden table, still bearing scales.

Most importantly, this piece of Cthulhu remains about the size of a small wooden table had completely separated from the Cthulhu creature.

Though separated, hundreds of thread-like roots were densely embedded in it, drawing energy from the piece of flesh.

As he drew closer, Gunie also noticed some clues.

Undoubtedly, this Cthulhu creature was dead.

But its flesh was not like the sinew he had encountered before—threatening but lifeless.

This piece of Dominator flesh, indeed the entire huge Cthulhu creature’s corpse, possessed a small amount of life activity.

Although this Cthulhu creature was dead,

its flesh seemed alive, with faint life characteristics.

"Could it be that this crystal glass tree grew from its corpse and then re-endowed the Dominator flesh with vitality?"

"Regardless..."

Gunie’s gaze swept over the massive Cthulhu Dominator.

"It is still a dead thing."

Then Gunie’s gaze returned to that piece of Dominator flesh the size of a small wooden table.

Chi!

Black flames quickly ignited on the Dominator flesh.

At the same time, the Balor flames also burned on the roots of the crystal glass tree.

While burning, Gunie also sensed the changes in those roots.

After burning for a full minute or two,

Gunie’s expression relaxed slightly.

"Though it burns slowly, it is certain that this Balor flame can indeed cause some damage to the roots of this mysterious crystal glass tree."

"If I keep burning the roots continuously, in a few days I can burn them completely, and then I can get this piece of Cthulhu remains flesh."

"Using reincarnation to acquire its same Cthulhu essential characteristics, perhaps then I can pass through that invisible barrier."

"Of course, whether it works or not, I’ll only know after the actual transformation."

"Let’s start burning."

...

While Gunie was burning the roots at the crystal glass tree,

the nine huge ray annihilation channels in this area had been found one after another.

At the same time, the powerful Black Demon God Ruler nation had dispatched a large number of strong individuals to begin occupying the various ray annihilation caves.

Such a good opportunity, many deities naturally would not easily give up.

For a time, at the entrances of all the caves, large-scale battles and killings broke out.

As the battles progressed, more and more deities learned of the news about the Cthulhu treasure caves opening, and thus more and more deities began to join this battle of slaughter.

Every day, a large number of deities died at the cave entrances.

For a time, the cave entrances at these nine locations became complete deity meat grinders.

...

Unnoticed, five days had passed.

Beneath the crystal glass tree.

Sizzle...

Black flames rapidly rose.

Chi—

Accompanied by a wisp of green smoke spreading,

the black Balor flames then vanished.

At the same time,

this piece of Cthulhu flesh the size of a small wooden table completely broke free from the entanglement of the crystal glass tree’s roots.

With a thought, Gunie stored it into his spatial pouch.

Gunie also let out a long sigh of relief.

"It took a full five days of burning to finally burn through such thin roots. It seems it’s unrealistic to burn through such a large piece of Cthulhu creature to store it in my spatial pouch."

Then Gunie quickly flew upward.

After reaching the surface, the first thing Gunie did was check the stability of the nine ray annihilation channels.

After a check, Gunie felt relieved.

The nine ray annihilation channels were as stable as ever, showing no sign of dissipating.

Gunie did not waste time and directly flew to a corner.

After sitting cross-legged, Gunie opened the door of his body universe and cast the piece of Dominator flesh remains he had just obtained into his body.

The three pieces of Dominator flesh Gunie had obtained before were clearly different from this piece.

Also, after obtaining those Dominator flesh pieces, Gunie had not undergone reincarnation.

Therefore, the scouring and absorption of those Dominator flesh pieces had not been so fast.

"This reincarnation will directly fully match the characteristics of these four pieces of flesh. When absorbing them later, it will be much faster."

After sensing for a while, Gunie directly self-destructed his soul nucleus and entered a state of death.

"After this reincarnation, my realm will drop to early demigod."

"Even with those precious fruits, it will take a year or half to cultivate back."

"I hope the nine fruits won’t disappoint me."

Gunie thought to himself as he underwent reincarnation.

After being revived again,

Gunie already felt his cosmic momentum beginning to accelerate the scouring of the four pieces of flesh within his body.

Each piece of Cthulhu flesh felt like a part of Gunie himself.

This scouring and absorption allowed Gunie to perfectly match every faint power of the Cthulhu remains and absorb it perfectly.

Then, Gunie flew toward the crystal glass tree.

Before even approaching the crystal glass tree’s invisible barrier, Gunie already had a feeling.

He could probably pass through directly.
