Chapter 407: Chapter 151 The Burning Reflection of the Tree of Omniscience_2

Ascending to godhood... no, before the spreading Witch’s malice, he was weaker than a child, utterly powerless to resist.

"Ten Shadow Magics, the tenth."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, briefly halting the spreading malice of the Witch before it disappeared like a breeze.

Adam was momentarily stunned, then looked towards the source of the voice, only to see Ahtal with his fingers interlaced, revealing a malicious smile towards him.

"Cocoon of Time." As the words fell, a blurry female figure emerged; her features were indistinct, but her cold yet charming aura gave a very strong sense of presence.

This feeling was like discerning the daunting figure of a beauty through a curtain, a mysterious and hazy beauty.

Had he avoided the attack by manipulating time?

Adam reasoned analytically, but soon realized that Ahtal’s magic power wasn’t sufficient to sustain the Cocoon of Time for long; at most, it could only last three minutes. Just delaying for three minutes meant his victory.

However, if he defeated Ahtal, then he... would also be killed by the Witch, and none of the gods would save him.

But if he didn’t immediately deal with Ahtal, his personality could soon be completely disintegrated due to the informational assault of the ascension state.

That would be no different from death.

After weighing the pros and cons, Adam decided to prioritize taking down Ahtal, otherwise he was about to be finished off by Ahtal.

With that thought,

Adam’s figure instantly vanished from the spot, his Blood Kin Knight’s Sword slashing down towards Ahtal’s back.

"Boom!" The clash of blades, the spreading shock wave shook the sea, creating a vacuum between them.

From a high vantage point, a giant depression could be seen in the sea, exposing the mud beneath the surface.

Blocked it?

Surprise flickered in Adam’s eyes as he instantly disappeared from the spot, dodging Ahtal’s counters.

He had thought that Ahtal was avoiding attacks through time manipulation, but the situation was contrary to what he had expected.

Ahtal had brought out power equivalent to his own, directly blocking the slash he unleashed.

Before he could figure it out,

Ahtal had already charged forth, becoming a streak of starlight that vanished from the spot, coming directly beside Adam, swinging the Great Sword of Death engulfed in black flames.

Their swords clashed again, causing the still recovering sea to further expand, shaking even the Tree of Omniscience.

Ten Shadow Magics, the tenth, Cocoon of Time.

This was a somewhat special skill, possessing a strength correction for the previous nine Shadow Magics, allowing the player to continue using the first nine Shadow Magics even as a demon.

Moreover, the Cocoon of Time also purely enhances the player’s characteristics, infinitely dividing in one second. As long as the player can pay enough magic power, even with the use of a single finger, by infinitely dividing with the Cocoon of Time, they can easily crush a demon.

However, such a powerful skill had one extremely deadly flaw; the magic power requirement, which couldn’t be met before reaching demon status. Before the summoning of the Cocoon of Time is complete, the player’s magic power would be thoroughly drained.

Theoretically, Ahtal was incapable of summoning the Cocoon of Time, but if a player managed to stack their attributes to a certain degree, barely meeting the conditions to summon the Cocoon of Time, it was still feasible.

Reaching a level beyond human limits, changing one’s race to that of the strongest magic-bearing dragon, along with the Witch of Death’s magic power correction.

The summoning of Cocoon of Time became... possible.

But that would only last a very short time, not even as long as using Summon Avatar to wield the Sword of Light.

One minute later,

Adam stood firmly on the ground, utilizing the earth’s magic power to sustain his peak state while simultaneously withstanding Ahtal’s intense attacks, trying to drain Ahtal’s magic power dry, preventing Ahtal from maintaining the summoning of the Cocoon of Time.

He could win.

This was the conclusion derived from his ascended state; he had clearly sensed that Ahtal was about to run out of magic power.

Except for having to confront the personality shock from the ascended state, he was in his peak condition in all aspects; there was no reason for him to lose.

One and a half minutes later,

"Clang!" The sword blades rubbed against each other, sparking brilliant sparks that illuminated the faces of Adam and Ahtal, both clearly seeing each other’s faces.

He immediately vanished.

Before Adam could swing his next sword strike, Ahtal’s figure turned into starlight and disappeared on the spot.

Had he fled... no, it wasn’t to that point yet.

Adam sharply turned his head, his gaze locking onto the reflection of the God of Omniscience; he saw Ahtal crouch down, his palm caressing the tree trunk.

Their gazes met.

"...I don’t want to burn down the Tree of Omniscience." Xi Mu said, yet his palm burst forth with Ash Fire, igniting the reflection of the Tree of Omniscience directly, turning it into kindling that could cover the sky.

The surging flames soared into the sky, the heat released spreading and evaporating the seawater at the sea level, cloaking the boundless sea in a layer of white fog.

From Doris’s direction, one could witness an extremely shocking scene, a majestic tree engulfed by scorching flames, the surrounding white fog reflecting the firelight and emitting a golden luster, possessing an almost sacred beauty.

Eden sighed softly, revealing a faint smile, which caused the Goddess of Lies beside her to exhibit an odd expression. She asked in confusion:

"Ahtal did burn the tree." She moved closer to Eden, "Why do I feel like you’ve been relieved instead?"

"Ahtal burned the reflection of the Tree of Omniscience." Eden explained, but the Goddess of Lies showed a doubtful expression upon hearing this.

"You... do you still want to die?"

"..." Eden did not answer. The Goddess of Lies did not pursue further, directing her gaze towards the burning Tree of Omniscience, lightly gathering her hair by her ear.

"Didn’t expect Ahtal could go to this extent; I thought he was going to lose."

"As long as Ahtal is willing to burn the tree, he won’t lose." Eden asserted, earlier Ahtal and Adam had been evenly matched because Ahtal resisted burning the tree.

Now that Ahtal was pushed to a desperate situation, he could only choose to burn the tree, and with the loss of the Tree of Omniscience’s blessing, Adam also lost his greatest reliance.

...

...

"Truly a delightful battle." Xi Mu swung his sword, decapitating Adam, accompanied by blood splattering.

He also canceled the Cocoon of Time’s summoning and quickly took out several Magic Potions, pouring them down to replenish his depleted magic power.

The dead Adam also triggered his last resurrection, appearing on the spot as if refreshed, no longer in his godlike state, his attire changed to a gold-edged white robe, holding the Blood Kin Knight’s Sword in one hand.

"I lost." Adam admitted defeat very straightforwardly, having exhausted all his methods, without any room for excuses.

"Ahtal, I have a request for you." His tone carried a hint of pleading, "Please don’t burn the Tree of Omniscience anymore."

His defeat signified that Ahtal had become the strongest beneath the gods, and if Ahtal became a demon,

it essentially meant that Ahtal possessed the capability to burn the Tree of Omniscience.

Xi Mu did not respond, he was determined to burn down the Tree of Omniscience, and there was no need to deceive Adam.

"The saintess treated you well, surely she gave you a lot of help." Adam added, but the man in front of him still gave no response.

The atmosphere fell silent.

The burning Tree of Omniscience began to collapse, the burning branches falling into the ocean, boiling the sea.

After a long while. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Adam, why did you suddenly make this request?" Xi Mu asked, staring at Adam’s expression, "What... have you realized?"

He watched Adam’s silent expression.

"Fighting with you was very delightful." As he spoke, he raised the Great Sword of Death in his hand, and without hesitation, he slashed down, the flames swirling around the blade cutting through Adam’s body like splashed ink, instantly engulfing him completely.

The corpse turned to ash.

"Is there anyone else who wants to fight with me?" Xi Mu turned around, standing under the burning Tree of Omniscience, "If no one steps forward to defeat me."

His pupils seemed to burn with flames.

"Then I shall become a demon."
