American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 254 The Original Sin Mother Tree

```

The roots kept spreading from inside the door, and the aura of the black golden ancient tree made Xu Yi’s body tense, ready to activate "Blood as Sacred" at any moment.

He didn’t have to worry about there being too few "Sin Remains" to forge a weapon anymore; the black golden ancient tree before his eyes was entirely made of "Sin Remains."

But he didn’t feel happy at all; he would rather have had just the fist-sized amount of "Sin Remains" as before.

The aura of the black golden ancient tree was even stronger than that of the "Evil Deity Dragon," and he had no confidence in killing it.

"The Original Sin Mother Tree! The Original Sin Mother Tree has finally descended!" Skull Face yelled maniacally, dancing around like a madman.

He suddenly turned his head, staring at Xu Yi and the two "Great Onmyoji" with a glint of hatred in his eyes – it was these three who had destroyed his own hands.

"With the Original Sin Mother Tree’s arrival, none of you will be able to escape!" Skull Face cackled wildly.

Xu Yi quietly retreated, preparing to make a run for it.

The aura of the Original Sin Mother Tree was too horrifying; there was no advantage in a head-on confrontation.

What’s worse, as the giant door fully opened, the "Kayako" were no longer drawn to it. They wandered around Mount Fuji, unwilling to leave.

Xu Yi looked back towards Tokyo; more and more "Kayako" streamed out from the city, moving towards their location.

Blood-colored clouds gathered overhead, and soon this area would be twisted by the "Kayako’s" resentment, eventually becoming sealed off and completely transforming into a land of death.

Xu Yi took two steps back, but then he suddenly stopped.

The Original Sin Mother Tree behind the door was obscuring the sky like an ancient demon god; its roots swept out, shaking both earth and mountains, the thinnest part of them thicker than his thigh.

Yet the roots that extended out were only as thick as his little finger.

Moreover, something was off about the aura; those extending roots did not have the suffocating sense of oppression.

Xu Yi looked at the "inside" and "outside" of the door, feeling a gap like that between "instant noodle packaging" and the "actual noodles" after they have been made.

As the ancient tree’s body continued to emerge, this feeling of discrepancy grew stronger.

Could it be that the Original Sin Mother Tree was just for show? A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Xu Yi decided not to leave, opting to observe a little longer.

The two "Great Onmyoji" were also ready to retreat, but seeing Xu Yi’s actions, they hesitated slightly, then stopped as well.

Nobody fled, and nobody made a move, resulting in a tense standoff.

In this eerie atmosphere, the Original Sin Mother Tree came through the giant door, which was running out of energy, and slowly started to close under an unstoppable force.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Original Sin Mother Tree; the two Great Onmyoji were dumbstruck, and Xu Yi was a bit stunned as well.

The Original Sin Mother Tree before them was about three meters tall and five meters in diameter, whereas the tree seen through the giant door was over a hundred meters tall, with a huge canopy that obscured its full shape.

It wasn’t just the volume of the Original Sin Mother Tree that was seriously reduced, but also its aura.

The Original Sin Mother Tree before them felt much weaker, and there was an indescribable sense of frailty.

"How can this be?" Skull Face suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore; he looked like a duck with its neck wrung, his expression blank.

This was also his first experience with such a situation. He only knew he had to summon the Original Sin Mother Tree from behind the door to prepare for his organization’s next plan, never expecting this outcome.

Hope rekindled in the eyes of the two Great Onmyoji; perhaps the Original Sin Mother Tree before them was the root cause of Japan’s disaster, and resolving it might save Japan.

They lunged towards the Original Sin Mother Tree.

The Original Sin Mother Tree seemed to sense the danger approaching, and roots flew out, not to block the Great Onmyoji, though.

The roots reached for the Kayako lingering around, piercing the bodies of the spirits, popping them like bubbles.

The lingering blood-colored energy in the air was absorbed by the roots and channeled into the main body, causing the tree’s canopy to suddenly increase in size. Explore stories at novelbuddy

The expression on both the Great Onmyoji and Xu Yi’s faces changed.

They both realized that the Original Sin Mother Tree’s reduction in size was simply the price it paid to pass through that door and not because it was inherently weak.

If it could gather enough energy, the Original Sin Mother Tree could return to its full glory.

The Great Onmyoji suddenly accelerated, taking action one after another.

The Sword of Gathering Clouds slashed continuously, Wind Blades danced in the air, clear water surged from the Yata Mirror, and the icy stream constantly washed over the Original Sin Mother Tree.

Xu Yi bellowed, his speed soaring to the ultimate, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Original Sin Mother Tree.

They all realized that time was pressing, and they had to resolve the opponent before the Original Sin Mother Tree could recover.

Xu Yi swung his fist fiercely, his knuckles wrapped in roaring Holy Flames. As his fist struck down, the Original Sin Mother Tree shook thunderously but did not crack.

Xu Yi’s expression shifted slightly; this was the first time he had seen anything that could directly block Holy Flames.

Holy Flame is not actually flame, but only similar in form; its essence is highly concentrated energy that bursts forth in an instant upon contact, destroying everything.

The Sword of Gathering Clouds, one of Japan’s Three Holy Artifacts, was known for its sharpness, yet when it slashed at the body of the Original Sin Mother Tree, it merely left a white mark.

Xu Yi suddenly understood why Sin Remains could be rated as "three-star" level; this kind of resilience alone was enough to astound.

His expression grave, the Original Sin Mother Tree, though shrunken and weakened, had a tangible body nonetheless.

If he fully invoked Blood as Sacred, perhaps he could breach the Original Sin Mother Tree’s defenses, but to what end?

He could not possibly kill the Original Sin Mother Tree before his blood ran out.

"Thinking to prevent the Mother Tree from reviving, you are deluding yourselves!"

Skull Face regained that contemptuous look, the sturdiness of the Original Sin Mother Tree giving him confidence.

Despite his words, he still controlled the serpent that the Scythe of the Reaper had become, hurling it towards the battlefield to relieve the pressure on the Original Sin Mother Tree.

Xu Yi’s complexion turned even grimmer.

It was difficult enough dealing with the Original Sin Mother Tree; it continued to absorb strength from Kayako, and now there was an added troublemaker, worsening the situation.

His eyes briefly met those of the two Great Onmyoji; he was startled to see that they could still maintain their composure, their eyes flickering with confidence.

"Friend, could you hold him off for us?" one of the Great Onmyoji suddenly asked, obviously referring to Skull Face.

"What are you planning to do?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"From our earlier exchange, we have discerned the ancient tree’s weakness. Our Holy Artifacts are especially good at dealing with such tough nuts!" the Great Onmyoji replied softly.

Though puzzled, Xu Yi nodded in agreement and turned to intercept Skull Face.

One of the Great Onmyoji cut his own palm, smearing the blood on the Yata Mirror. The blood was continuously drawn away, leaving the Great Onmyoji’s face pale.

But clear spring water gushed from the Yata Mirror, and instead of falling, it hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating around the Yata Mirror, forming a massive whirlpool.

Xu Yi instinctively distanced himself from the vortex, his soul sensing a pulling force, sending tremors through it.

He glanced at the Original Sin Mother Tree and was taken aback.

The Original Sin Mother Tree trembled violently, its faint soul being dragged away from the tree.

"This is just the beginning?" Xu Yi was astonished. The Yata Mirror had only just been activated; the suction force was far from its peak and wasn’t even "focused" yet, just the diffused fluctuation.

The wave wasn’t strong, and with Xu Yi’s "mediocre" soul strength, he could withstand it; there was no reason why a monster like the Original Sin Mother Tree couldn’t.

Xu Yi caught sight of the red giant gate behind the Original Sin Mother Tree; he suddenly realized that since the Original Sin Mother Tree came through the giant gate from another world, its soul had become highly unstable, easily dislodged by the slightest force.

The Great Onmyoji must have noticed this particular weakness of the Original Sin Mother Tree.

The slowly rotating vortex sped up, turning into a fierce water spout that flew toward the Original Sin Mother Tree and hovered above it.

A powerful pull on the soul acted upon the Original Sin Mother Tree, its soul being dragged out inch by inch.

Xu Yi’s heart pounded, and he licked his somewhat dry lips.

If the Original Sin Mother Tree’s soul was extracted, wouldn’t only its shell remain? Such a large piece of Sin Remains, if it could be used as a Source of Woe...

This was a possibility he had not even dared to contemplate before.
