All this time Tianlong Yun had intentionally been holding back in order to lower his value in the eyes of his enemies, not only the mother tree but also the two groups behind him.
Furthermore, he set up a great stage for the newcomers to make the most of the mother tree's attention, and pull the biggest portion of the tree formations strength.
Still, even in that case, the mother tree didn't seem to buy much into the trap he had set up and still had used 25% of its whole strength to face him.
This was so unfair, after all, he was alone, while those guys behind him were so strong and so many in numbers.
But taking into consideration what he had been doing with his army of disciples these last few months, he guessed that this was more than understandable.
Not to mention, that this was still something he could afford. While he couldn't exactly fight against all the formation head-on, he was more than able to dodge and slip through the attacks.
In fact, he wanted to have a go at it in order to have a check at his current strength, and see if he could hold his own against them without using his saber, or his Nirvana flames.
He had thought that since these level 4 trees had sprouted in but a week they wouldn't be that strong, but he was totally wrong.
At first, he looked like a fish through troubled waters, dodging and slipping through every attack, but in less than a minute he was almost totally surrounded.
It was a great help to him that all the level 2 trees were dealing with the cannon fodder that both groups had offered, otherwise his fair and smooth skin wouldn't be as fair anymore.
Even though he had been fighting against the level 3 and level 4 trees, Tianlong Yun had 'sensed' what the two groups did, but he wasn't that surprised.
In fact, he had been expecting something like this from the beginning. Especially with his presence in this place, it was a given.
The big guys had neither the patience nor the desire to carry on all these cannon fodder towards the finish line.
And if that wasn't enough, the thought that those guys might have any illusion of deserving something from the treasure in front, was more than enough to convince them to do it.
When he finally saw that the two sides had once again entered a stalemate, and were more aware of each other than him, Tianlong Yun decided to take his chance.
With that decision made, he immediately transformed into his seraphim form, took out his saber, and covered himself in Nirvana Flames as he jumped towards the mother tree.
As he had been dodging the attacks until now, Tianlong Yun had also paid a lot of attention to the mother tree, which at the moment seemed to be nothing more than a sapling.
Considering the fact that it had helped so many of its parts to grow so big in such a short time, it was more than understandable for it to have become like this.
But surely that sapling wasn't as powerless as it looked like, Tianlong Yun had a feeling that things weren't as easy as they looked like.
So, he didn't dare to underestimate the situation, as he used everything in his arsenal at that moment.
His whole body was covered in Nirvana flames, his 'Life's Regret' too, his bone wings were fluttering behind his back at the most they could in order to add to his speed.
No matter the obstacles on the way, he had arrived in front of the sapling in less than a millisecond, and without taking any chance, he pulled the sapling up, in order to reveal the mother tree's herb root.
The moment he touched the sapling though he felt like he had suddenly touched his bane, his whole body trembled, and he felt a powerful attack go for his Soul Avatar.
It was terrifying, in just about the time he had touched the sapling, the attack had already reached his conscience sea, and then his Soul Avatar.
Before he could even understand what had happened, his Soul Avatar had been destroyed and broken like some kind of delicate glass.
He had lost before he even had the chance to counterattack or to be more exact he should have lost before he even had the chance to counterattack.
Why hadn't he!?
Really simple actually, the Soul Avatar that got destroyed was a Soul Clone, and not the original one, as the original one was controlling everything from the border of his conscience sea.
That was one of the first things he had done the moment he created a Soul Clone, he decided to hide the original one someplace in his conscience sea because something might happen.
His decision had been really smart apparently, because it was due to that decision that he was only frozen for a second, and not dead right now.
As soon as the first Soul Clone was destroyed, a second one took his place, even though Tianlong Yun felt deep pain when his Soul Clone was destroyed he didn't have time to think about that right now.
Clenching his teeth until blood came out of them, he pulled on the sapling, as he dodged more than tens of attacks coming his way.
It was almost impossible for him to be able to escape all those attacks in just that short amount of time he had, so some of those attacks managed to make several cuts all over his body.
It was exactly at that moment, that a purplish-blue lightning strike suddenly cut through the darkness and landed right where Tianlong Yun was, and then spread through all the area.
Nobody had sensed or had expected that lightning to come falling down at that time. After all, normal lightning was impossible to cut through the pressure of this place.
Yet this lightning not only had cut through the pressure like some hot knife through butter, but had also created a small burning fire on the ground, as it landed over Tianlong Yun, and the sapling on his hand.
The only possible explanation was that this wasn't some normal lightning. It was the anger of the heavens falling down.
But why!? Just what was that sapling!? What secret was hidden behind its existence that was able to earn the rage and anger of the Heavens!?
That thought lasted only for a second at most, as before they could even place it to the back of their heads, everyone else was covered by that lightning too.
There was one reason why people would always choose to have their breakthroughs in higher stages of cultivation alone, as the more people in the area the stronger the lightning, and Heaven's rage would be.
Even though most of the cannon fodder had already been killed, there was still a considerable number of people in the area, including the ten powerhouses.
Which of those ten poor people would have ever thought that they would be played by the nose like this.
In their eyes the only person guilty for all this that was happening was Tianlong Yun, this snotty young bastard had just set them up with their lives on the line.
If they ever managed to survive this shit, they would make sure to torture him for as long as they were alive and make him repent for eternity.
But right now, they had to try everything they could in order to try and survive this shitty situation. They didn't dare to hold back anymore, as each one of them used their defensive techniques.
It took them more than 30% of their strength to survive that first lightning, and one had to consider that that one was weakened by the pressure of the mother tree already.
While the 10 powerhouses had been able to survive, the cannon fodder and level 2 trees weren't as capable, as they were all burned to a crisp.
It was horrifying, especially as the smell of burned human meat started spreading through the place, it would make even the greatest brave heart vomit himself crazy.
At least they had survived! They had to take joy in that, as the pressure in the area had fallen quite a bit, and their senses were now sharper and covered much more place.
Still, it was quite surprising seeing Tianlong Yun resisting that lightning, after all this young man didn't seem to be really strong.
He must be some kind of genius, but too bad that geniuses without a background didn't have a long life, so he was destined to die young.
Just as they were thinking like that, a bolt of second lightning cracked from the sky and fell down on them. Once again it was targeting Tianlong Yun, and that sapling in his hands.
It didn't require a sharp and intelligent brain in order to understand that this one was much stronger, and much dangerous than the first one.
Once again, it hit Tianlong Yun and then spread through the area, in a range of more than 1000 meters square circle.
No matter who was there wouldn't be able to escape that lightning, and the 10 poor powerhouses weren't any different.
This time they were forced to use around 50% of their normal strength in order to resist that attack, but still, they were able to survive.
This time they had even lost a few of their own people, as they had been unable to protect them, as even the level 3 trees were burned to a crisp this time.
This should be the limit of that snotty brat, right!?
