“We can’t go down!” Experts and ancestors shuddered after seeing the fallen combatants.
“Tribulation flames, right?” They stared at the sparking flames beneath the barks.
Although everyone saw the red flashing embers and molten barks, they didn’t expect the flames to be active.
“Looks like it’s not over yet.” An ancestor murmured.
“Would they be there at the source far down below too?” An expert said softly.
No one could answer but this seemed plausible. Given the greatness of this tree, it should be connected to the end of the earth vein. Its roots must be massive.
To kill it, the flames must burn through all the roots. Given the activeness of the flames at the top, there was a good chance they would be active below.
“So the whole vein is covered in tribulation flames.” A region lord commented.
“One must endure the flames to get to the source.” An ancestor added.
No one dared to experiment after seeing the deaths earlier. The deeper below, the stronger the flames.Some stole glances at the pseudo-emperors. Words were unnecessary since their eyes said it all.
Most came to seek fortune when possible but didn’t need to force the issue. On the other hand, the pseudo-emperors had more urgency to their mission.
Sure enough, they stared solemnly at the abyss. Lacking information on the potency of the flames, they didn’t have absolute confidence in descending.
“I will try.” Bronze-blade Ancestor took a deep breath and walked forward.
This attracted everyone’s attention and raised the excitement in the air.
“Senior, please be careful.” Coldblade said.
Although they all wanted to obtain a dao fruit using the source, this didn’t necessarily make them competitors.
“Thank you for the reminder, Miss.” Bronze-blade focused up and slowly raised his hand.
A bronze light shimmered around him as bronze blades manifested into reality. Everyone could sense their heaviness, capable of cleaving mountains.
Sword energies turned into a defensive maelstrom around him as he shouted: “I’m going!”
Unlike the reckless first group, he controlled his speed and assessed the first heat waves. The temperature made him think there was an ocean of tribulation flames beneath.
It could always erupt and instill fear into cultivators. The vortex of blades around him started changing, becoming molten and feeble.
It didn’t take long before his robe started burning - a terrible sign.
“Activate!” He released his shining fate palaces and activated his sword dao. However, this was to return to the surface.
“Too strong, it’s impossible to descend.” He shook his head.
Others exchanged glances and understood the difficulties.
“Looks like a wasted trip.” One expert said: “The dragon vein might be right there but we can’t reach it.”
“I will try.” Skyraiser Crown Prince declared confidently, not giving up just yet.
He grabbed the seal hanging by his waist for activation. It released dao laws like waterfalls around him.
“A seal of an apex emperor.” Others could see its value and envied him for having such powerful backers.
He jumped into the abyss and met the heat waves, also releasing his fate palaces and chaos true energy.
Alas, since they were both pseudo-emperors, he didn’t get much farther despite having a powerful seal. He roared and leaped back to his original spot without saying a word.
Pessimism took over since the journey seemed hopeless.
“Ancestor, can we go down? It looks fun.” A cute and innocent voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked over and saw a young girl around the age of five or so.
