Chapter 865: An Emperor Struck Down
The Adamant Nymph Emperor felt some measure of apprehension toward the Ancestral Tree; after all, it was once one of the three most powerful ancient nymphs and the life source of the entire planet. However, his curiosity now overpowered his caution. The life energy was richer than anything he'd seen in his entire life! If he could absorb it, his cultivation would rise tremendously.
After observing for a while, the Adamant Nymph Emperor decided to approach and experience Skytree City's atmosphere firsthand. He thus slowly descended, heading toward Skytree City's inner part.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the life energy's intensity, to the point where even an experienced Emperor like him couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. Even from this distance, the life energy nourished his body, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring. It was vast, immense, boundless! Even at the height of the Ancestral Court's power, there had never been such a terrifying amount of life energy!
Greed sprouted in his heart, and he sped up his descent, fully opening his body to greedily absorb this thick, high-level life energy.
But just as he was going all out, an ancient and authoritative voice suddenly boomed in his mind.
—HOW DARE YOU!
In the next moment, the Adamant Nymph Emperor felt as if the world had turned upside down. All within his sight and divine consciousness seemed to become hostile to him, and an overwhelmingly terrifying force of repulsion surged from below. At the same time, the very sky above bore down upon him with massive pressure. In an instant, the world felt like it was collapsing, and heaven and earth alike were crumbling.
The Adamant Nymph Emperor's face twisted in terror. His armor erupted with radiant light, shining like a diamond in the sky. In a split second, he spun around, attempting to flee.
But the force of heaven and earth collapsing was too terrifying. The Adamant Nymph Emperor felt as though the entire plane had become his enemy.
