Chapter 1121: 1121
All of them rushed to Saleen after emerging out of the crumbled halls . The ground beneath their feet began to crumble and shatter . Rumbles were heard all over the place . Saleen found that the space occupied by the four halls was but a small part of the entire temple .

The ground crumbled, and they fell . Saleen scanned with his Elemental Eye and saw what was actually happening .
He was actually on a huge plant . The four halls were on one of the platforms on a branch of the huge plant .
The huge ancient tree was probably over a thousand miles tall . Most of its branches had withered, but green was still seen near the crumbled halls . The tunnel he fell from also had leaves growing out of it . The myriad of magic plants were simply parasites living off the ancient tree .
It was a tree left behind by the Goddess of Myers and it had no divinity to speak of . It was simply remains of intelligent plant life . The branches and leaves seemed to possess powerful life force, as if they had been revived .
None of them was able to see as far as Saleen, but a level ten professional was able to see three to five miles without needing additional skills . All of them grew aware of being on a huge, ancient tree .
At that moment, Sika burst out laughing from the hall that seemed to have buried her . “Hahahahaha…the power of nature!”
Everyone was puzzled . They were not used Sika behaving in such manic ways . Saleen called and had Nailisi return to her imp form . Everyone backed away at his prompting .
The huge ancient tree began to shrink at a frightening speed . Within half an hour, the ancient tree was reduced to the size of about 500 meters tall .
The tree began to transform after shrinking to such extents . Its many branches turned into a torso and the roots, which Saleen was able to see, began to transform into shapes resembling the lower half of humans .
A tree puppet? No, a tree puppet can’t be this powerful . Aini’s death plants are never this strong .
Saleen was smart, but he was unable to tell that the ancient tree was how the Goddess of Myers achieved godhood . Myers turned into a god and renounced her identity of a mage .
The tree died as a result . Myers was so sad that she had mages craft the tree and place it under the secret temple .
Sika was trained in the shamanic arts of a nature priest, which resembled the route that Myers had taken before she became a god . The ancient tree came to life again because of Sika’s arrival . The plants that had been living off the ancient tree all grew in a frenzy . They advanced so much that they were able to harm people .

The ancient tree was already a powerful piece of magic equipment, and Myers was incapable of using it after becoming a god, so she left it behind as a memento . It was totally unanticipated that when Sika was pondering the secrets to advance to level ten, she unknowing connected with the ancient tree .
Sika was bold enough to use shamanic arts to nurture the power of life within the ancient tree, enabling the tree to grow something like a magic beast soul .
The tree’s original soul had died and the newborn thing was not a magic beast soul, but was able to serve identical functions . Sika took control of it and put it away, enabling the ancient tree to return to its magic equipment state .
However, the skills of the shamanic arts were very different from magic . While the skills did not run against magic like divine arts, the tree became a unique piece of equipment resembling a shaman .
It was originally a soul that could only be nurtured at level 13, but it was nurtured by Sika before its time . The ancient tree became a shaman tree . It was not a weapon, but it was a tool of war and looked like a huge puppet .
The ground and the palaces on the shaman tree had crumbled . Sika was unable to protect the palaces as she was unable to reach level ten . What she did was akin to forcefully interrupting everyone’s training . If they had a dozen more years to train, Sul might have broken into level ten and become a true might .
“Smaller, smaller I said!” Sika was still howling . The shaman tree had shrunk in half again, but it was still about 200 meters tall .
Sika let out thick panting noises . No one was able to make out what she said from then on . It was all old and complex syllables, which sounded rushed .
As Sika unleashed her ancient shamanic skills, the tree finally shrunk normally .
Saleen only found something off at that moment . The shaman tree seemed to be shrinking without stop . He quickly cast Quickcloud and wrapped everyone in it, flying towards the space tunnel .
“Saleen! Wait for me!” Sika yelled . Saleen had no intentions of doing so . Saleen had no certainty that she was able to keep things accident-free her first time trying out such shamanic arts .
When Saleen had risen several hundred meters in the air, the shaman tree had shrunk to the size of about a foot tall . Sika cradled it in her arms . The space around her collapsed violently .
Sika was unscathed due to being protected by the power of the tree, but if Saleen and the others had remained where they were, they would have died .

Sika forcefully took the shaman tree away and disrupted the balance of the space . She found herself in a tight spot and took flight . A priest’s flight abilities were lacking without a soul beast .
Sika burst through the obstacle caused by the collapsing space and caught up to Saleen after fumbling about .
Saleen took her into the mist and rushed upward .
A space collapse was not as easy to deal with as space turbulence . Within the vicinity of a space collapse, the basic structure of all matter would be altered, and even Saleen’s Starline Armament was unable to deal with it .
Sika was not actually doing anything wrong . If she had left the shaman tree, it would be taken by others .
The shaman soul was not actually that powerful, as it was only just born and required nurture . The uprooting of the tree triggered the space collapse, diminishing the powers of the shaman tree by an unknown margin .
Saleen had no way of blaming Sika for the mishap . It would be regretful if Sika did not find the tree .
If such powerful equipment fell into the hands of others, trouble would come to him . The temple was not something that no one would discover . He had been there and left tracks behind, which the Holy See would definitely be able to trace .
If they found where he went, the Holy See would definitely be able to open the temple, and then take away the tree .
The passage they came in was over a dozen miles long, but at Saleen’s current speed, it was a journey that would take them a little more than a minute . They soon arrived at the exit of the passage .
Don accelerated all of a sudden and burst out of the mist . As soon as he emerged from the exit, spears came at him .
Don smirked coldy and swept the spear nearest to his body, sending the other spears flying . All who thrust their spears at him had their hands cut .
Saleen emerged shortly after . He saw what Don did and did not get near the ground, aiming for the skies instead . There were more than a dozen holy masters surrounding a middle-aged man in the sky . The middle-aged man cast an instant divine spell after seeing someone emerge from the passage .

A huge shaft of light spear headed for Saleen . The holy master was actually able to target Saleen in the mist .
Saleen just advanced to level ten, but his powers were stable . He cast an ice bomb, which burned instantly and the surrounding elements became unstable .
The burning ice bomb clashed with the light spear, which penetrated the bomb and got reflected aside .
Saleen fired a lightning icicle . The middle-aged holy master sensed something coming and threw out a light ball of their mouth right after . Heavy breathing sounds were heard from within the ball of light .
While Saleen’s lightning icicle was capable switching directions midair, the ball of light came all too suddenly . The lightning icicle clashed into it and fizzled and was swallowed whole by the ball of light .
Saleen was startled, but the middle-aged holy master was in a worse shape . They were able to feel the power taken in by the ball of lightning . The thing that had been swallowed overflowed with lightning power, which they had to take in .
The holy master tumbled in the air, about to hit the ground . The dozens of holy masters around them cast a divine spell at the same time, stabilizing them in the air .
Saleen knew that the figure was not the third head inquisitor, as the third head inquisitor would not so weak . Three holy masters cast powerful beams of light from afar, shooting high in the sky .
It was early in the morning and the holy beam of light was seen more than a dozen miles away .
Saleen knew the holy masters were calling for reinforcements . He did not mind . Don was capable of taking on the forces on the ground on his own . The terrain in the Skywell was complex . While Don’s powers were unstable, he was a level ten knight armed with the God-hunting Spear . If the enemy was incapable of surrounding him, they would be slaughtered .
Jola charged without waiting for Saleen to make further moves . Sul followed closely behind .
Jola was moving too fast . He thrust his sword as he came before the holy master, who had buffed themselves with over a dozen divine spells . Despite having put up Divine Protection, they were stabbed by Jola’s sword .
The holy master turned illusory, as if they were about to run . However, the power bursting from Jola’s sword kept them locked in .
The holy master shrieked in horror, forcibly blocking Tears with the Scepter of Honor in their hand .
A flash of white light was drawn by Tears, cutting both the holy master’s scepter and arm off . The holy master fell and unraveled a divine spell scroll . Jola pulled his sword down and destroyed the spell that had just been cast .
White light shot out of the holy master in a frenzy . Layers of Divine Protection stacked . The defenses put up were too powerful to be destroyed in one go by Jola .
However, when Jola lashed out with yet another thrust, the holy master was about to spew blood . The surrounding holy masters intended to protect them, but they were all thrown off by Sul’s sword .
The holy master was not be able to keep up with the flight abilities of golden grand swordmasters at the pinnacle of their level .
Seeing how sword aura burst all over Sul’s body, which exceeded the holy light in brightness, the holy masters dared not split up . If they did so, their heads would probably end up being collected by Sul .
Saleen did not continue attacking . He was able to sense that several powerful people were coming at them from the west . He immediately took out the ice spike that he had put into the Starline Ring .
Despite having been severely damaged after it was completely, the ice spike remained intact . Saleen felt that the powers remaining within the ice spike were one-tenth of its original capacity, but he was able to use it .
He locked onto his targets with the Thunder Dragon Blaster at the same time .
The holy master was clad in a red robe . No hair was found on his head and he looked about 40 years old . A pair of fiery energy wings were behind his back, flying at Saleen at a speed that even Saleen was unable to achieve .
