chapter 1444 expediting the growth of the world trees

the dragonblood warriors’ swords danced. over thirteen thousand of them had formed a giant human wall that blocked the charge of the magical beasts.

guo ran was at the very front, wearing his golden armor that shone brightly and drew everyone’s attention.

he was a metal machine, wielding a special saber in his hand that killed a magical beast with each attack. even eleventh rank magical beasts weren’t able to endure his power.

guo ran wasn’t strong himself, but through his armor, his power multiplied hundreds of times. even long chen had become envious of that.

he had asked about making such armor for himself, but the control mechanism for guo ran’s armor was too complicated. as soon as he saw the principles involved he gave up on that idea.

it wasn’t just long chen. in the dragonblood legion, there were quite a few people who asked for some simple mechanisms from guo ran, but they all abandoned the idea in the end.

even just a mechanism to increase the power of their arms was difficult to control. on a battlefield, there was no way for them to fight freely with such a thing.

if one arm was too difficult to control, then there was even less to say about a full set of armor. that would be even more difficult than ascending the heavens.

guo ran hadn’t wanted to keep his armor to himself. in fact, he hoped to create similar armor for the entire dragonblood legion. then they could dominate these lands.

unfortunately, not everyone had his kind of unique talent. they were unable to manipulate the subtle mechanisms effortlessly like he was. this dream was shattered.

with a slash of guo ran’s saber, a black-striped tiger was cut in two, and a long scar was cut in the ground. guo ran raised his head and roared, except it sounded a bit more like a wolf howl. “come, your daddy guo ran’s blade is still thirsty!”

his voice was amplified by his armor and contained a metallic ringing to it. it was exceptionally bold, and adding on his terrifying combat power, it caused his enemies’ hearts to shake.

the current guo ran looked like a merciless slaughter machine. he was constantly reaping the lives of these magical beasts.

a giant snake opened its mouth, and shot a violet ray at guo ran. a huge explosion rocked the world when it struck guo ran, but when the dust settled, guo ran was fine. he simply slashed his blade once more, killing another eleventh rank magical beast.

“who is that?! how is he so terrifying?!” cried out someone from the ancient races.

they were aware that long chen’s combat power was terrifying, but they hadn’t heard of other figures on this level as well. in front of guo ran, those powerful magical beasts were all cut down, their blood dyeing the ground scarlet.

“hmph, he just relies on his armor. without his armor, he’d be a snail without a shell, and anyone could easily crush him,” said someone irritably.

each time guo ran attacked, the runes on his armor would light up. based on that, it wasn’t difficult to determine that guo ran’s power depended on his armor.

but more shocking was that it wasn’t just guo ran. gu yang, li qi, and song mingyuan were also incredibly powerful. the magical beasts were also killed in one blow by them.

“they’re just relying on the sharpness of their weapons. they can’t last long like this. they’ll still definitely die,” sneered someone. they were standing in the distant sky and could see the entire battlefield clearly.

his runic chains were like his own hands. whatever he touched could be drawn into the primal chaos space.

those corpses were all tossed into the black soil in the primal chaos space.

this was his first time since advancing to the jade core realm to go all-out absorbing magical beast corpses. the black soil was like a sea, and the magical beast corpses slowly sank within it. life energy began to fill the primal chaos space.

the world trees were growing extremely slowly. even now, they were only thirty meters tall. they were still in the form of soft shoots. they couldn’t even count as saplings.

however, as piles of magical beast corpses landed on the black soil, life energy spread throughout the primal chaos space, and the world trees finally began to grow at a visible rate.

they quickly reached a height of three hundred meters. for normal large trees, this was already a fully grown state.

yet, the world trees were still in the form of soft shoots. their bodies were still not fully opaque. however, now a third leaf finally sprouted.

long chen couldn’t help being shocked. these world trees were truly shocking. they required a huge amount of life energy to grow. finally, when they reached a height of one thousand meters, the first branches began to grow out of them, and they took on the form of saplings.

that delighted long chen. he was waiting just for this moment. he began carefully snapping off those branches and planting them as well.

the primal chaos space didn’t disappoint him. those branches also began to take root and grow as the life energy nourished them.

“yes! primal chaos bead, you are really amazing!”

long chen gathered corpses as he planted more branches. this time, he left many miles between each world tree.

by the time the world trees were fully grown, they would be hundreds of miles tall, and being too concentrated would affect their growth.

long chen was hard at work. the first batch of the world trees was already at fifteen hundred meters, and more and more branches were growing. he was crazily transplanting them.

fortunately, everything in the primal chaos space was controlled by his spiritual strength. his spiritual strength was spread throughout it, and he was constantly snapping off branches to plant them.

in just a short couple hours, the primal chaos space was filled with the world trees.

however, these world trees were all in different stages of growth. there were clear differences between the first ones and the later ones.

furthermore, as he planted more, their growth slowed down as well. the first batch of world trees that had reached eighteen hundred meters were no longer growing at a visible rate.

however, the shocking thing was that just that batch of world trees had as much life energy as thousands of fully matured iron spruce oaks.

it had to be known that these world trees were still in a very young state. they were only slightly larger saplings, but they possessed this much life energy. this was a nice surprise for long chen.

just as he was relishing in this happiness, rumbling rang out. a black mass of figures filled the distant sky.
