Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 418 - 320: Apocalypse of the Spirit Realm

The invasion rules of the Nether Tree are irreversible; once a target is set, it will continue to deepen until the entire world is thoroughly assimilated.

Therefore, after the first tremor appeared in the Land of the End, the second and third soon followed.

Although due to the special nature of the Land of the End, the roots of the Nether Tree did not invade as easily as they did in the Cultivation World.

But for the protagonist and the Treasure Tower Spirit trapped in the Land of the End, this degree was already enough.

They were utterly fed up with this lifeless dead zone.

Even the protagonist, with a personality that has experienced various setbacks, almost couldn’t resist committing suicide; such is the terror of the Land of the End.

"Hoo!"

After an unknown amount of time, the protagonist finally let out a long breath and came back to his senses.

The Treasure Tower Spirit, seeing this, asked the protagonist: "Recovered now?"

The protagonist nodded, his face showing a complex expression.

His heart held fear, anxiety, and particularly a lingering dread of having survived a disaster.

The protagonist said: "We were too careless, underestimated everyone, and underestimated the dangerous places in this world!"

Recalling the journey after leaving the Cultivation World, the protagonist found it not at all unjust to have ended up in such dire straits.

Initially, in the Cultivation World, the protagonist knew that there might be an ambush on the other side of the passage, but thought it was just a group of ordinary people, not considering Sage-level cultivators, so he rushed into the Spirit Realm directly without waiting for his wounds to heal.

As a result, he was immediately attacked by Sage-level cultivators in the Spirit Realm.

The protagonist actually had a chance to escape from this.

Because the people sent to the Cultivation World did not know when to return, there were not many Sage-level cultivators guarding the passage exit in the Spirit Realm.

When the protagonist arrived there, there were only three Sage-level cultivators beside him.

Although his injuries had not healed, he could still escape through the encirclement if he risked getting hurt, although he would then have to hide and recuperate for a while.

However, fearing that his injuries would lead to being besieged by Sage-level cultivators of the Spirit Realm, he dared not take extreme measures and thus missed the best time for escape.

He was eventually banished to the Land of the End.

If it weren’t for the timely appearance of the Nether Tree, the protagonist might have already died.

"I’ll learn from this in the future!"

The protagonist looked exhausted, but his eyes were very determined: "Hesitation brings chaos! If I encounter the same situation again, I’ll leave without hesitation first!"

The Treasure Tower Spirit, looking at the protagonist, suddenly thought of Zhao Yi.

Previously, in the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, Zhao Yi, while investigating the Great Hero Hall, did exactly as the protagonist said: detected something wrong, and immediately fled without hesitation.

If Zhao Yi had been in the protagonist’s position then, he might have run away long ago.

But the Treasure Tower Spirit didn’t say this.

The protagonist had just narrowly escaped from the Death Realm, and his mental state was at its most fragile.

At this point, if he suffered a blow, he might fall into madness.

The Buddha falling into madness already posed significant danger to the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

If the protagonist also fell into madness and merged with the Nether Tree.

Then, the Buddha’s Great Dao would become entirely corrupted.

The damage a fully corrupted Dao would inflict on the All Heavens World, the Treasure Tower Spirit couldn’t even imagine.

Thinking of this, the Treasure Tower Spirit comforted the protagonist: "You did well; the setback was entirely due to the Spirit Realm Sages disregarding the rules, ganging up on you, an inferior realm cultivator. If the Purple Sky Divine Thunder were still around, they would certainly be held accountable, and during their tribulation, they would absolutely not escape the strike of the ninth Tribulation Thunder!"

The protagonist nodded, then shook his head.

What the Treasure Tower Spirit said was only part of it; the other part was due to his decision-making errors.

Suddenly, the protagonist thought of something and asked the Treasure Tower Spirit: "That Sage in the Spirit Realm capable of future prediction, since he could see me entering the Spirit Realm and banished us to this Land of the End, do you think he could foresee us escaping and set another ambush?"

The protagonist hasn’t been cultivating for long; his mastery of Dao Rule is even shorter, and he knows nothing about what could be considered common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.

This wasn’t the case for the Treasure Tower Spirit.

Not only is she the Artifact Spirit of a Divine Artifact, but she has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, having observed countless cultivators, she can be considered a living manual of the Cultivation World.

The protagonist was absolutely right to ask the Treasure Tower Spirit about what he didn’t understand.

Hearing the protagonist’s words, the Treasure Tower Spirit shook her head directly: "You can rest assured. Peeking into the future comes with a price, and even for the Sage who has mastered the Path of Time, it’s impossible to explore the River of Time without any restraint!"

"Moreover, the Path of Time cannot truly be mastered by anyone. I guess that person might have mastered some kind of Dao for deduction and divination, which is why he knew you were coming and prepared in advance!"

"From the previous situation, it seems that the person only vaguely deduced your return; even the specific time wasn’t clear. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been only three Sage-level cultivators lying in ambush, but rather an inescapable net at the passage exit, directly banishing you to this Land of the End!"

"Since the first time wasn’t fully deduced, then the second time wouldn’t be any clearer! The Land of the End is the place where all things end, and your fate and destiny here are indiscernible; outsiders simply cannot track your movements."

Upon hearing this, the protagonist immediately relaxed.

The Land of the End has no Spiritual Energy, making it impossible to cultivate, or even stabilize injuries.

Once outside, the protagonist plans to first find a place to hide and recuperate, then decide after observing the movements of the Nether Tree.

After sharing his plan with the Treasure Tower Spirit, she agreed: "Being cautious is right. After all, the Nether Tree is different from any enemies we’ve faced before. First, we hide and observe for a while, determine the Nether Tree’s attack method, and see if there’s any flaw to exploit. If there’s nowhere left to run, and you have to fight, at least you won’t be completely clueless!"

Seeing the Treasure Tower Spirit agree with him, the protagonist nodded: "Then it’s settled. Once we’re out of the Land of the End, we’ll find somewhere to hide and watch how things unfold."

After speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "This is the Land of the End; will the Nether Tree’s roots be affected entering here? If the Nether Tree remains unaffected, then once it assimilates the Land of the End, will it accelerate the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds towards destruction?"

Upon hearing this, the Treasure Tower Spirit was momentarily stunned and then couldn’t help but ponder.

"According to the rules of the Land of the End, the roots of the Nether Tree penetrating here will inevitably be affected. After all, the Nether Tree arose from the Buddha’s fall, and the Buddha cultivated the Buddha’s Great Dao, which has not escaped the Dao Rule framework of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds!"

"But what impact the Nether Tree will receive, and what eventual results will be produced, is impossible to determine. After all, throughout millions of years, only one Nether Tree has emerged, with no past experiences for reference, making it utterly impossible to assess the development pattern of the Nether Tree."

"As for whether the control of the Land of the End by the Nether Tree would hasten the destruction of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, I can definitely answer yes!"

"Once the Nether Tree controls the Land of the End, the doomsday of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds will have arrived!"
