Chapter 332 The Contaminated Golden Tree

The headquarters of the Golden Cult, the Land of Gold, looks like a huge basin island, like a golden cornucopia.

In the center of the Land of Gold, there grows a big golden tree.

It is not a big golden tree, but just one of its branches.

In the breeze, the branches and leaves sway, and dots of golden light fall, and the whole picture is like a dream.

"Everyone, welcome to the Land of Gold. I hope you can spend a "good" life here in the next time."

Raof's words made the faces of several golden sons/golden princesses turn pale.

Ryan, who disguised himself as "the third princess Tulisa", was also like this on the surface, without revealing any flaws, but in fact, he had already let go of his perception.

The Land of Gold is not big, it is a small island with a radius of only more than ten kilometers. With Ryan's perception circle, it is not realistic to perceive it in detail, but it is not a problem to scan it roughly.

Under his "scan", the number of strong people in the Land of Gold suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ten people have just entered the eighth level, five senior eighth level people, two peak eighth level people, and one extreme eighth level person.

This number is already extremely scary, more than double the total number of all the eighth level beings in the four empires.

No wonder the four empires in the forbidden sea area have been trembling in fear and dare not resist the "Golden Ceremony" for hundreds of years.

But...

The most critical ninth level, in the Golden Town, there is not a single one.

No, that's not quite accurate.

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the entire Golden Town, within a radius of one kilometer in the central area, his perception was resisted by some kind of force, and he could not accurately perceive the situation there.

If there really is a ninth level in the Golden Town, it will only exist there.

As for whether it exists, we can only wait for subsequent investigations to determine.

The real world is not a world of travel. Ryan does not have a second life to travel, so he needs to be cautious in everything.

He never forgot the purpose of his adventure to the Golden Sect's base camp-to explore the situation of the golden tree.

Other than that, everything is secondary.

Olaf smiled at the pale faces of the four people.

He had seen such expressions countless times over the years, but every time, he could satisfy his vain and proud heart.

Especially when this fear gradually turns into an unshakable belief in the golden tree in the future, it will be even more so.

"Next, I will lead you to the Golden Palace, where you will meet the Pope, and at the same time, you will have the honor to admire the honor of the great golden tree."

In the crowd, Ryan's eyes moved slightly.

Olaf's arrangement was exactly what he wanted.

The Pope, the golden tree... These two are most likely in the core circle, and even if they are not, they will definitely not be far away from the core group.

Get closer, even if the other party resists, he is sure to forcefully invade.

At the moment, he remained calm and flew towards the center of the Golden Country under the leadership of Olaf.

Along the way, the group encountered several inspections, and each wave of inspections, openly and secretly, had the existence of the eighth-level power.

Almost no one can hide under such a strong inspection.

But Ryan is different.

On the one hand, the concealment level of [Overturning Core] is extremely high.

On the other hand, Ryan's strength is much stronger than these inspectors.

Coupled with the cognitive inertia all the time.

Ryan successfully passed each wave of inspections and finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Golden Country, which is the central radius of three kilometers.

A golden tree stood tall, occupying the central radius of one kilometer. The rich golden light made it difficult for the outside world to explore the internal situation.

The destination of Ryan and his party was a light golden palace located on the edge of the core circle.

Without alerting the enemy, Ryan entered the Golden Palace under the leadership of Olaf.

The magnificent colored windows and reliefs need no description.

The figure standing silently in front of the tall golden stone sculpture attracted his attention.

The aura emanating from this person was exactly the eighth-level limit that Ryan had sensed before.

If he had encountered such a strong man when he first entered the forbidden sea area, Ryan would have died without a doubt.

But after being promoted to the seventh-level [Arrogant Overlord], he had the combat power to compete with or even defeat the eighth-level limit, let alone now.

The eighth-level limit is indeed powerful, but his body is not without resistance.

The Golden Pope turned his back to Ryan and the others, silent, as if praying, and at the same time, Olaf also made a similar movement.

Is this the "first step of knocking" on the four people, planting the seeds of awe in their hearts?

Ryan's heart moved slightly.

The current situation is quite suitable as an alibi.

After all, the Golden Pope personally verified it, and the gold content is needless to say.

Disguised as an expression and demeanor similar to the other three, but in fact, Ryan's consciousness has been connected to a body lurking in the shadows several kilometers away.

That was the "real projection" he had quietly left behind before.

With his current strength, a real projection requires half of the faith power of the "overturning core", and the cost is extremely shocking.

However, if he could find out the situation of the golden tree, all these costs would be worth it.

Ryan was distracted. The Golden Palace was camouflaged perfectly, while the real projection slowly raised its head and looked at the golden tree deeper inside.

The branches of this golden tree were only between one thousand and two thousand meters high, and the coverage of the tree canopy was also in this range.

The real projection took a step and soon arrived at the edge of the core circle.

A layer of light golden light curtain blocked all outside intruders.

However, since it was already here, the real projection didn't need to pretend.

Taking a step forward, countless silver light bands appeared around the real projection, which was the manifestation of the opening of the first sword skill of the Star Spirit Sword Art, the Star Spirit Gap.

The surrounding world was forcibly repelled, even the world was like this, not to mention the mere magic circle.

A gap appeared in the golden light curtain, and in an instant, the light curtain vibrated strongly.

Such an abnormality naturally attracted the attention of the Golden Pope at the first time.

He was still "pretending to be deep" and his face suddenly changed. He subconsciously glanced at the four newcomers in the hall. After confirming that they were okay, a golden light flashed and his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had come to the area where the protective formation had abnormalities.

However, when he arrived, he saw a silver light in the air that penetrated the one thousand meter radius of the Golden Tree.

"Not good!"

The Golden Pope's face became ferocious, and a golden and luxurious mark appeared between his eyebrows. The next moment, he moved directly in front of the silver light and forcibly intercepted it.

Looking at the Golden Pope who appeared, Ryan was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

After all, this is his base camp, and it is normal to have some reserved means.

"Stop!"

The Golden Pope slapped out with a palm, and the rich golden light formed a substantial energy palm with countless complicated patterns entangled on it.

The big sword behind Ryan was slightly unsheathed, and the sharp sword energy forcibly chopped the golden palm in mid-air.

The remaining sword energy swept across the side of the Golden Pope's face, leaving several blood marks.

"It's you!"

In an instant, the Golden Pope recognized Ryan's identity.

The Golden Sect controls the world, so all the strong people in the world are within their insight.

And the only one who can use such sword energy is the sword holder who has been protecting the heretic witch all the way.

The inconspicuous "little man" at the beginning has grown into a powerful person that even he must face up to in just a few months.

During this period, the Golden Pope has been preparing a hunting plan. Once he finds out that the sword-bearer and the Dark Moon Witch have entered the forbidden sea area, he will come out in full force and must kill them in one fell swoop.

With the power of the entire sect, besieging just three people, there is no possibility of failure no matter how you think about it.

But now, their hunting has not yet begun, and the other party has already come to the door? !

The Golden Pope was shocked and angry.

"It's the four golden sons and the golden princess!"

"The sword-bearer has placed a positioning method on one of them, so he tracked it here."

The Golden Pope made a guess in his heart.

But at this moment, these are no longer important.

No matter what, the sword-bearer must not be allowed to reach the vicinity of the golden tree branch!

Because that is a huge secret related to the survival of the entire world!

Without any hesitation, the Golden Pope, who felt Ryan's strength from the sword energy, let out a clear whistle.

Dazzling golden light burst out from his body. At the same time, the branches of the golden tree behind him also burst out with similar light. The two corresponded to each other from a distance. A mysterious force crossed the space and descended on the Golden Pope.

In an instant, the Golden Pope's momentum rose sharply. Although he did not reach the ninth level, he also reached a level that the eighth level limit could not reach!

As a result, the other eighth-level beings of the Golden Sect also appeared one after another.

Under the leadership of two eighth-level peaks, they formed a magic array and oppressed Ryan in a long-range threat.

Nearly twenty people, with the blessing of the array, reached a level that the eighth-level limit must pay attention to.

If it were any other eighth-level limit existence, facing this battle, it would be difficult to escape defeat.

But...

Since Ryan came in the form of a real projection, how could he be afraid of death?

At this distance, he already had a good idea of ​​the situation of the golden tree.

Unfortunately, a layer of inexplicable power blocked Ryan's "sight", making him unable to see the panel of the golden tree branch.

Therefore

The only thing he needed to do now was to touch the branches of the golden tree with his own hands to verify his judgment.

As long as he touched it with his own hands, the power that blocked his sight would no longer affect his peeping.

As for the obstacle in front of him...

Ryan's face under the mask grinned.

He opened his arms, and then, in the Golden Pope's suddenly shrinking pupils, pale blue scales began from his palms and climbed to every corner of his body.

Dragon humanization, start!

The palm covered with fine pale blue scales slowly grasped the hilt of the big sword behind him, and the dazzling edge made the dozen or so eighth-level beings who formed a magic circle in the distance look horrified.

And without waiting for them to react.

The big sword, unsheathed!

"Zheng——"

The magic circle that had not yet shown its power was immediately declared broken, and more than a dozen eighth-level beings of the Golden Sect all spurted blood and flew backwards.

If it weren't for the power of the magic circle to help them bear it, all these people would have died with just this sword.

It looked like an eighth-level fight, but in fact, it was no longer something that ordinary eighth-level beings could participate in.

Even at the eighth-level limit, there was still a risk of being seriously injured by the aftermath.

The body of the Golden Pope appeared between Ryan and a dozen eighth-level beings flying backwards.

His eyes were solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Even with the "Golden Protection" on his body, facing Ryan in the dragon-man state, he did not have the slightest confidence in winning.

How could this be...

The Golden Pope couldn't figure it out.

In the intelligence not long ago, Ryan, who only had the seventh-level extreme combat power, why did he have such combat power not long after arriving in the forbidden sea area?

This is not the speed of strength improvement that a normal practitioner can achieve.

Even if it is not within the scope of the [Golden Law] path, such a speed of strength improvement is too exaggerated.

Compared with the bit by bit of practice, such progress of strength improvement is more like a revival of the original strength.

"Who are you?"

The Golden Pope stared at Ryan, trying to find traces of the former ninth level of this world from him.

The Queen of Witches?

The Lord of Gods?

But whether it is swordsmanship or the posture of turning into a dragon man, there is no connection with the two ninth-level strongest men of the last era.

Could it be that it was an old guy from a more distant time?

Before the Golden Pope finished thinking, Ryan moved.

He was like a blue meteorite that broke through the sky, falling towards the branch of the golden tree not far away.

Seeing this, the Golden Pope's face changed, his body flashed with golden light, and he moved in front of Ryan.

"Stop!"

He roared, the golden light in his body shone, and turned into a wooden giant hand, grabbing Ryan.

From a distance, it was like a tiny blue fly being held by the giant.

However, this seemingly tiny fly broke through the giant's palm in an instant.

"Puff!"

The Golden Pope was hit hard, and blood burst all over his body.

His breath dropped sharply.

Even if they are both beyond the limit of the eighth level, there is a gap between them.

If the data of the strength from the eighth level to the ninth level is converted into 1~100, the Golden Pope is only about 5, and Ryan has reached more than 80 after entering the dragon man.

The gap in strength between the two is even greater than that between the initial entry into the eighth level and the extreme eighth level!

In this case, it is not surprising that the Golden Pope is not a one-round opponent.

Without any blockers, Ryan came to the front of the branch of the golden tree in an instant, with his palm reflected on the tree.

Before he had time to check the prompt on the panel, his face suddenly changed.

A dark golden beam fell from the sky and landed accurately on Ryan's body.

In the beam, his body was like white wax at high temperature, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the dark golden beam disappeared, and Ryan's body was completely gone, as if he had never come to this world.

The Golden Pope stood on the ground, raising his hand to cover his chest.

Although he eliminated the attacker, there was no joy on his face.

He stared blankly at the sky where the dark golden beam appeared. There was a crack there, which lasted for a long time.

In the Golden Hall.

In front of Ryan, the prompt on the panel appeared.

[Contaminated golden tree sub-body: ...]
