Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 122: The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is Very Uneasy

The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was walking in a big city in Luoxia Province, perfecting his plan.
There have always been very few strong humans, but there are so many humans, and they are good at making their nests impregnable. Even a strong man like the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards would not sneak into a human nest unless it was necessary.
It's also hard to sneak into.
Humans like to place all kinds of exploration rituals in every corner of their home. However, the Holy Court was robbed not long ago, and the entire continent was cracked, with heavy losses. In just a few months, Xinhuo was able to rebuild the damaged city and restore the Holy Court to its former prosperity, but it was unable to control the entire Holy Court.
The repair and reconstruction of the legendary ritual will definitely not be completed in such a short time.
Xinhuo's control over the Holy Court is bound to be limited.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is one of the ancient beings who understands humans better. He has received offerings from many super oases.
He stroked his beard, his mind racing, and he was very sure of his judgment.
However, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was a very steady ancient being. Even though he was full of confidence, he did not immediately go deep into the Holy Court. Instead, he wandered for several days in Luoxia Province, which was known as the gateway to the Holy Court... in a large city near the border.
Not discovered by Xinhuo.
He increased his confidence from 90% to 99%.
"The inference is correct, we can set off."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards thought.
He remained calm and did not rush to the First Province with his own great power. Instead, he bought a ticket and boarded a flying boat like an ordinary person, entering the First Province as a reconstruction worker.
Between heaven and earth, the aura of Idora's Tree of Life became stronger.
He couldn't help but reveal a look of obsession.
When we arrived at the first province, we found that many places further in were restricted areas. From afar, we could see sharp white bones protruding from the ground, like bone spears and bone mountains, which was spectacular and shocking.
"This kind of power... yes... the Skeleton Demon Lord actually fell here."
The power of the bones still remains.
In the heart of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, his fear and dread of the Flame Master increased even more.
Fortunately, this mentor could not be in charge of the Holy Court, otherwise, even if he had more courage, he would not dare to break into the Holy Court continent.
"In short, be careful in exploring."
"I am not afraid of other powerful humans, but I cannot expose myself, at least not before I find the Tree of Life."
He glanced around.
Influenced by Fang You's act of reshaping the world that day, lush trees can be seen everywhere in the entire Holy Court, full of vitality, and this is even more so in the first province.
If we had to preserve some specimens for research and observation, the power of the bones remaining on the earth would have long been diluted and destroyed by the vitality of plants and trees.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards looked at the lush trees and his smile became even more intense.
"In this environment, I am like a fish in water. Not to mention ordinary human masters, even if that mentor were to come in person, he might not be able to find me."
After all, he is the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards! The ruler of the roots!
His figure disappeared quietly, and he used the roots and rhizomes that were everywhere as stepping stones to quickly move his position.
The whole process is very secretive!
Because he is the embodiment of roots, his movements are like the wind blowing, dust floating, water drops flowing in the river... he is completely integrated into nature.
Even if one is a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times stronger than him, it is still difficult to perceive the slightest change in nature.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards wandered in the world of roots, following the increasingly rich scent of the Idora Tree of Life.
In just a moment, he found his target.
A sacred tree hundreds of meters high!
He stared, slowly becoming disappointed.
"It's not the Tree of Life itself, but a legendary tree that inherited the power of the Tree of Life."
"Its status is higher and it is far more precious than ordinary legendary trees."
"but……"
He is a high-level being in the ninth realm. No matter how precious a legendary tree is, it is difficult to benefit .
What he wanted was the real tree of life.
"If I can get this sapling, I am confident that I can track down the location of the Tree of Life itself, but..."
If the Idora Tree of Life is not here, it is most likely at the headquarters of the Xinhuo Organization.
That must be a dangerous place.
Should he go ahead and break in, or not?
Hidden in the rhizomes, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was torn, both longing and following his heart, and his thoughts swayed from side to side.
"Wait, since there is only one sapling here, why is the aura of the Tree of Life so strong? There is also a faint sense of the power of nature and prosperity in the air."
He pondered, his eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze moved upwards.
Above the legendary tree that is hundreds of meters high, there is actually a divine tree that is infinitely tall, with a trunk that breaks through the clouds like a pillar in the sky, and a crown that is wider than the entire sky.
She is so majestic, noble, sacred and eye-catching.
But the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards didn't notice it at all just now.
No one in the entire Holy Court was aware of the existence of this sacred tree... It was obviously much larger than the entire Holy Court, just like a tree planted in a small pot. In the Holy Court, no matter where people were in the Thirteen Provinces, they could look up and see this sacred tree, its towering branches, and its leaves that looked like land.
But no.
No one was aware of the existence of the sacred tree.
Including the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards himself.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards became excited. "This is the real Idora Tree of Life. She exists here and yet does not exist here. It is definitely not something that an ordinary strong person, or even an ordinary high-level person, can discover."
And he, of course, is not an ordinary person of high status.
The divine object he had always dreamed of was right before his eyes.
The next thing to do is...
He was still thinking about how to take the tree of life away... His understanding of the Idora Tree of Life was actually limited to the surface, but the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards thought to himself that with his attainments in the Law of Roots, it would not be difficult to take a tree away.
But his expression changed.
He felt waves of repulsive force coming from the roots where he was hiding.
Although he stabilized himself quickly, strands of energy still escaped.
"I have been discovered?"
The next moment, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was certain that this was not an accident.
Some eyes looked over from afar, locking onto his figure.
She was a human woman dressed in turquoise clothes, and her usually gentle face gradually revealed a serious and cold look.
"snort!"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards waved his sleeves and emerged from the roots. Since he had been discovered, given his noble status, he naturally disdained to continue hiding.
"Human high position, you can't stop me."
"You humans have a very true saying, since ancient times, treasures belong to those who are destined to be with them."
"And the Idora Tree of Life is destined to be with me. If it remains in the hands of you humans, it will only waste the power of such a sacred tree."
He flew up.
The power of the deep root law spread out, and at the same time, the innate magical powers that the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was also used.
Instantly, the roots of millions of trees began to dance, and the earth, stirred by the roots, seemed to have stirred up waves, surging and humming.
The entire First Province was shaken, and countless people changed color and showed panic.
There were also strong men who looked into the depths of the lush forest.
"An enemy is lurking in!"
"With such great power, the earth seems to have turned into a sea of roots... This is a high position!"
"Quick, sound the first-level alarm !"
These thoughts only popped up in the minds of the myths. Before they could move, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards brought great power and covered the Idora Tree of Life, which was located "between existence and non-existence".
He, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, could destroy the entire First Province in an instant, but there was no need to do so. Doing so would only anger the human race and would be of no benefit to himself.
Using these roots as stepping stones, he could quickly pry up the giant tree of life.
It is even easier to defeat an ordinary person of high rank.
There is a huge gap between the high and low realms, and he, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, is at the top of the high realm.
"rise!"
The earth rumbled.
Thick roots like earth dragons rose from the ground and covered the human woman standing under the Tree of Life.
"Human, please get out of the way, or don't blame me for showing no mercy."
His voice was like thunder, rumbling and exploding.
The earth dragon soaring in the sky swooped down.
The human woman in the cyan dress did not change color, but the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards did.
The thick roots of the earth dragon suddenly cracked for no apparent reason. From the cracks, green sprouts broke through the soil and grew rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, green branches grew on the brown root dragon.
The branches engulfed the earth dragon and transformed into giant green vines that danced, rolling down.
“This, this…”
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards no longer cared about shaking the roots of Idora's Tree of Life. He found that there was something wrong with the human leader in front of him. This leader was definitely not an ordinary person.
Probably not weaker than him.
He must gather all his strength to deal with it.
"Ten Thousand Beads Heavenly Net Formation!"
The roots are intertwined with each other, and the power relies on each node to spread continuously.
This is the signature of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards. With it, he can increase the power of the law tenfold or a hundredfold.
But just as the Ten Thousand Roots Array began to interweave, the roots quickly split apart, flying like confetti. There were vines dancing wildly, flowers flying everywhere, and branches and leaves swirling around.
Vines, flowers and leaves together create a beautiful scene.
But within this beauty lies a strong murderous intent.
There is great terror and great power confronting us.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards' expression changed again and again, "Why are my roots so fragile?" His roots were clearly difficult for even the weapons of gods and demons to cut, but at this moment, they were like thin paper and broke with just a poke.
He has already begun to think about quitting.
In order to use the roots to stop the enemy, he hid among the roots of the tree and retreated quickly.
but,
He seemed unable to command the roots of the trees in all directions, and the surging sea of trees gradually calmed down.
The robe of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards tore open, and his arms and legs turned into countless wriggling roots, revealing his true form!
However, he still felt like he had fallen into a quagmire. His roots were somewhat out of control, and it seemed as if there were insects wriggling in his body, trying to break through his skin and get out.
It's a sprout!
His own body was actually treated as soil.
"This is impossible!"
"It's impossible for such a terrifying killing move to exist!"
"Wait, this kind of great power... is the power of authority! Are you a Tenth Realm True God who holds authority?!"
The voice of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards became sharp and distorted.
With a strong sense of disbelief and unwillingness!
He stared at the woman in green clothes in the distance, feeling very unwilling!
There are only one and a half famous strong men in the human race.
One refers to the Xinhuo mentor, whose exact strength is unknown, but he is probably a strong man in the tenth realm.
Half finger of the Burning Sky Flame Iloxi. This man who had once been in the ancient alliance, was half a step ahead of the Devouring Origin Beast, and was good at the power of fire, and was more restrained than the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards doesn't care about other powerful people besides these.
He has his own pride.
But he never imagined that there was such an extraordinary powerful person hidden among humans.
A being of the tenth realm who holds a certain authority of the wood element!
He hates it!
"You are a dignified being of the tenth realm, yet you actually pretend to be a high-ranking person to lurk and deceive me!"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards no longer dared to drill into the rhizomes.
He burned all his strength, suppressed the abnormality in his body, and escaped through the air.
Then, he was entangled by countless vines and was severely suppressed.
The earth shook.
Liu Shang walked forward and stopped a thousand meters away.
"Uninvited person, our mentor is merciful and has given you a chance to survive."
"…Now, it's time to make a choice."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was suppressed under the vine tree, signing a contract that was like that of the devil, and the light in his eyes completely disappeared.
…
The alarm sounded in the thirteen provinces of the Holy See.
In the darkness, someone laughed loudly.
"The Holy Court is in chaos. The opportunity we have been waiting for has come!"
The alarms in the thirteen provinces of the Holy See were subsided, and all cities returned to their original state.
In the darkness, the black shadow man who was laughing loudly suddenly stopped laughing.
Falling into self-doubt.
…
When the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards was discovered by Liu Shang, Xiao Huan was the first to inform him of the news.
Today, the inner circle of the first province of the Holy See has been incorporated into the actual scope of the organization.
The mentors from other parties can teleport freely within the organization as they wish, so naturally they can also reach the scene of the incident in the first province within an instant.
However, it is not necessary.
Liu Shang was able to suppress this ancient being easily.
It's not that the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is too weak, but Liu Shang is too strong. She controls 15% of the vitality authority, and Liu Shang's authority has a restraining effect on the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.
In the battle between the same department, the contrast between the strong and the weak becomes more and more obvious!
If the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards holds a higher level of authority than Liu Shang, then Liu Shang will be restricted in every way.
"Not only that, the innate magical power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards has the effect of promoting the evolution of the Tree of Life."
It may be this power that enhances the absorption capacity of the roots of the Tree of Life, or it may be that the power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards is valuable food to the Tree of Life.
In short, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards' job now is to squeeze out his own strength 24 hours a day to provide nutrients for the Tree of Life. This is the price he needs to pay to stay alive.
Human rights do not exist for a defeated prisoner.
"The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards must exhaust his own strength. He can't do anything. Of course, if he can significantly shorten the evolution time of the Tree of Life, it's not impossible to reduce his sentence in the future."
Fang Youxiang.
The incident just now was just a false alarm for the Holy See.
However, it is also obvious that the Holy Court's defense system is full of loopholes.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The original defense system was based on the Eternal Pure Land, and it took the Holy Court dozens or hundreds of years and countless manpower and material resources to build it. Fang You's use of the Eternal Pure Land was more efficient, but he couldn't build the defense system to the previous level in a short period of time.
It is more practical to rely on strong people to guard.
"The strange world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and demons are beginning to run rampant."
"Let alone the evil gods, even if I face some top ancient gods or powerful ancient gods, the power of my fire is still not enough."
What to do if the firepower is not enough?
Practice and cultivate!
When there are twenty, forty, or even a hundred Xinhuo masters, perhaps the defense pressure will be relieved a lot.
