Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 402 - 304: Black Root

The male protagonist is not stupid; on the contrary, he is very smart.

Upon hearing the words of the Treasure Tower Spirit, the male protagonist immediately reacted: "You mean, I have become its anchor point!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit shook her head: "It’s not you, but the Buddha’s Light behind you!"

As the black tree roots continued to probe and began to invade the Cultivation World, the Treasure Tower Spirit’s expression grew increasingly grim.

She looked at the Buddha’s Light behind the male protagonist’s head and said in frustration: "Damn it, I predicted this long ago! I wondered why the Buddha was so kind-hearted to leave behind the Buddha’s Light; it turns out the preparation was made a long time ago!"

The male protagonist’s expression was grave: "What do we do now? Cut off the root, or should I just end myself? Can we remove the anchor point that way?"

The Treasure Tower Spirit shook her head: "It’s too late! The Nether Tree doesn’t act purely on instinct; it is intelligent. Since its roots have come into contact with this world, they will leave some kind of mark. Even if the anchor point is removed, it won’t mean anything."

Hearing this, the male protagonist’s face turned extremely grim.

Especially considering that the Nether Tree used him as an anchor point to touch the Cultivation World and could jeopardize all living beings there, his Dao heart almost shattered at that moment!

"Don’t panic, it’s not come to that yet!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit noticed the unstable Buddha’s Light behind the male protagonist and immediately reminded him: "First, probe it and see if you can stop the roots from invading. The Nether Tree was formed from the fallen Buddha, so your Buddha’s Light should be able to restrain it. You must stabilize; if the Buddha’s Light breaks, there will truly be no way out."

Upon hearing this, the male protagonist’s face showed a glimmer of hope: "Do you mean the Buddha’s Light can eliminate the Nether Tree?"

"It’s unlikely."

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm has had the most contact with the Nether Tree and understands it best.

Upon hearing the male protagonist, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm said immediately: "As I mentioned, the Nether Tree comes from the fallen Buddha, so it is restrained by the Buddha’s Light, but it also has a certain resistance to it! Unless you can fully absorb all of Buddha’s Great Dao and immediately attain Buddha’s Great Dao, it will be hard to even delay the Nether Tree’s invasion."

The male protagonist frowned and said: "I don’t even know where Buddha’s Great Dao is; how can I integrate it quickly?"

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm nodded: "That’s what I thought, so I suggest you greet the roots of the Nether Tree."

"What do you mean?" asked the male protagonist, puzzled. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm said: "The reason is simple; it’s to let the Nether Tree know you are here and remember your scent. Then, I will take the time to find the passage into the Spirit Realm, and next, we’ll escape to the Spirit Realm!"

The male protagonist’s face changed slightly: "Are you suggesting diverting the disaster?"

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm explained: "The Nether Tree was exiled into the void less than a year ago. Even if it expands quickly, it cannot completely occupy the entire Treasure Tower Secret Realm! So, the roots here are merely exploratory, not using full force! Once you leave, the roots will follow you away; thus, your world will be saved!"

After speaking, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm looked solemnly at the male protagonist and said in a strange tone: "At this point, wouldn’t you talk to me about equality among all beings?"

"Certainly not!" The male protagonist shook his head decisively.

"Amitabha!"

With hands folded, the male protagonist spoke with deep compassion: "The Cultivation Realm is empty, and the demons are in the Spirit Realm! Evil spirits have wreaked havoc for many years; it’s time for them to be liberated and reborn!"

Hearing this, the Treasure Tower Secret Realm raised an eyebrow and said: "Although the leadership of the Buddhist Sect has changed, the inherent feeling of treachery and shamelessness remains the same as when I first encountered it tens of thousands of years ago!"

"Good and kind indeed!"

With hands folded, the male protagonist had an expression of who else but him would descend into Hell with an air of arrogance.

"Patron, wait a moment, I, the humble monk, shall go!"

With that, the male protagonist moved, preparing to instantly travel to Sumeru Mountain.

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm quickly said: "Wait for me; I’m going with you! I’ve never seen anyone attack that black tree root, and this action has huge significance; it must be fully documented for future battle data when forming an alliance against this monstrous tree!"

Upon hearing this, the male protagonist wanted to ask who to form an alliance with. The thought brought up an image in his mind, and he swallowed his words.

On the way, the male protagonist asked the Treasure Tower Secret Realm: "Given your unique nature, even if the Nether Tree invades the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, it likely won’t threaten your safety, right? Why are you so enthusiastic in dealing with it, just for fun?"

"Of course not!" The Treasure Tower Secret Realm shook its head, "I’m not entertaining myself by opposing such a terrifying tree simply for fun!"

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm said, "That monster took my home; I must reclaim it! Also, you misunderstood; if the Nether Tree truly invades the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, then none of us, myself included, will survive; the difference is merely the time of our deaths."

Upon hearing this, the male protagonist’s expression grew even more solemn.

He had not seen the Great Hero Hall or the black tree roots beneath the river attack people.

Thus, he did not know the terror of that monstrous tree.

Previously, when seeing Zhao Yi mobilizing many people for relocation, he thought Zhao Yi was making a big fuss and overly exaggerating the dangers of the Nether Tree.

But now it seems that Zhao Yi, like the Treasure Tower Spirit, must have witnessed scenes of the Nether Tree attacking others.

One can imagine that the scene must have been terrifying, otherwise, Zhao Yi, being such a proud person, wouldn’t have abandoned all battle intent and fled with the people of Great Xia!

Soon, the male protagonist arrived at Sumeru Mountain.

And then, he saw a black stick standing in the spot where the Bodhi Tree originally was.

Indeed, there was not a root but a straight black stick there.

The Treasure Tower Spirit saw it clearly and immediately said: "That black stick is indeed the root of the Nether Tree! My guess was right; the Nether Tree hasn’t completely swallowed the Treasure Tower Secret Realm. Though it found you here, it hasn’t enough strength to immediately invade, so it set up a root as a marker! If we hadn’t noticed this root, once the Nether Tree completely absorbs the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, the next step would be to invade the Cultivation World!"

Without hesitation, the male protagonist expanded the Buddha’s Light behind him and enveloped the black stick.

Sizzle...

The golden Buddha’s Light made contact with the black stick, immediately emitting explosive sounds like blazing oil.

Seeing the black stick dissolving, the Treasure Tower Spirit’s face immediately filled with joy.

"I guessed right again, your Buddha’s Light indeed has a suppressive effect on the Nether Tree!"

"Strike while it’s weak!"

"Quick, increase the Buddha’s Light intensity; once it’s completely burned off, we can go to the Spirit Realm!"
