Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1633 - Chapter 1633 Chapter 495 World Tree_3

Chapter 1633: Chapter 495 World Tree_3 Chapter 1633: Chapter 495 World Tree_3 Then, just when everyone thought he should have died long ago in the battle, he was merely delaying the inevitable.

Of course, it was also thanks to the occasional support from Sophia Jones and Madam Mister, otherwise, had it truly been one-on-one, Leonard Churchill might have indeed died countless times.

The battle thus turned more and more fluid.

Leonard Churchill recalled the time from his childhood when he had learned to walk the tightrope at a circus.

The first time he stepped on it, tentative and uncertain, numerous failures and falls tempered a heart that grew increasingly steady.

As the number of falls increased, the fear of the unknown gradually diminished.

Unbeknownst to him, his tightrope-walking skills had already become proficient.

If possible, Leonard Churchill really hoped this exhilarating sensation of achievement could continue indefinitely.

But the reality was that the Secret Skill activated by risking one’s life had an immense cost, and the frequent use of the Undying Curse in a short period of time increasingly strained his body.

Even with the reinforcement of Black Demon, Leonard Churchill felt a sense of weakness due to the depletion of Curse Power and the exertion of vitality and blood.

If the fight continued, Leonard Churchill would surely be worn to death.

This scene did not escape the watchful eyes of Sophia Jones, who was observing Leonard Churchill’s condition closely, ready to summon the Immortal Aegis Animals at any moment.

However, suddenly, the entire space started to shudder intensely.

…

“Boom, boom, boom…”

“Boom, boom, boom…”

“…”

A sensation similar to the shaking of earth and mountains.

Leonard Churchill knew that their current space should be inside that coffin.

Like a sealed glass sphere, there was no escape in any direction.

Yet at this moment, the glass sphere began to quiver.

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill cracked a smile: “Is it finally happening…?”

The only method he knew that could break this space was the “Time Rules.”

When he saw Colin entering the adventure camp earlier, he had guessed this outcome.

After waiting for so long, it had finally arrived.

This sudden tremor also put a brief pause on the fierce battle within the Dense Forest.

The bystanders did not know what had happened.

Even the few from the Holy Church who had set up this trap were at a loss.

Holy Son Ceres, seeing not far off, furrowed his brows even more.

He was well-aware of all the details of this ambush plan.

But this scene was not part of the plan.

This meant… something unexpected had occurred!

Before everyone could see clearly what was happening, the frequency of the space’s vibrations grew more and more exaggerated.

In the blink of an eye, the earth’s crust cracked all around, churning tumultuously, as if some monstrous entity was about to burrow out from underground.

At the same time, a suffocating dark presence swept across the entire space.

Moreover, all the constraints and rules set by the Saint Heir were instantly shattered!

“Broken?”

Leonard Churchill saw this and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

But the exaggerated commotion made it unbelievable, and he thought to himself: “What exactly did Old Bible do to cause such a ruckus? A Demon Beast? Or has an Outer God descended?”

He had anticipated that there would be a change.

But he didn’t expect it to be like this.

He had thought it would merely involve breaking open the space, but now it seemed like something terrifying had been brought in?

Before he could ponder further, the disturbance from the rolling ground grew larger, and everyone watched as dark roots emerged from the soil.

These were obviously roots, yet they exuded a high-tier Hell-like demonic aura.

More and more roots surfaced from the earth, quickly turning the entire forest and the nearby hills upside down.

A battlefield that was a moment ago a scene of devastation now became a hillock of vast roots.

Standing atop the roots, everyone seemed as insignificant as ants.

“Roots? Just how large must the tree be to have such exaggerated roots?”

Leonard Churchill took in the sight, as if his mind were filled with high-tier knowledge beyond his understanding.

He could see that all of the roots seemed to originate from the same place.

And those roots did not merely cover their location, but the entire space!

In his understanding, there could not possibly be such a colossal plant in the World!

…

Right as this unexpected event occurred, the battle near Firefly Camp also suddenly escalated.

The Great Sun in the sky, which was about to be extinguished, burst into a dazzling light, as if it would set the entire space ablaze.

Holy Son Ceres’s face changed abruptly upon seeing this.

At this moment, even a fool could tell that the space had been breached!

How is that possible?

Even the Pope of the Holy Church personally tried and failed to break open the Origin Space. How could it have been breached?

Where did the problem lie?

With this turn of events, a chill ran down the spine of Holy Son Ceres: “This is not good!”

He knew better than anyone that once space was breached, bigger problems would follow!

“That item” used as bait in the space was still intact, but once connected with the outer space, the “Master of Bad Omens” behind the Radiance Sect could sense it.

Even, It might use this to return to this plane!

Compared to that threat, the people in front of him suddenly became irrelevant.

What on earth is going on?

How could it have come to this?

Before everyone could understand, suddenly there came a cry of “Ouch~.”

A dirt-covered old man screamed as tree roots pushed him out from underground.

It was Elder Clinton, who had been hiding somewhere, unnoticed during the fight!

Seeing himself becoming the center of attention during the brief standoff, Elder Clinton, with his chipped front teeth, gave an awkward smile: “Well… you all carry on…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took to his heels and ran.

Leonard Churchill grinned upon seeing this.

Since the tree roots had broken the nearby rules and restrictions, he made a decisive call, turned around, and shouted, “Run!”

With that, without any intention of fighting, he turned and ran after Elder Clinton.

Previously, since the space was sealed, he never considered escaping.

Now that it was breached, this was no longer an issue.

Moreover, Elder Clinton’s actions were a weathervane–if he was running, of course, Leonard followed suit.

Once Leonard started running, Sophia Jones and the Revolutionary Army soldiers caught on immediately, fending off their opponents with various strategies and turned to flee without hesitation.

Holy Son Ceres wanted to stop them, but suddenly a whispered chant by his ear rang out: “Immortal Law: Four Infernal War Gods Realm!”

Before he could react, he saw vines violently erupt around him, not only sucking out all the elements in their vicinity in an instant but also turning into a cage that blocked their path.

In an instant, Thunder Blade sparked, and a myriad of roots flew chaotically. Holy Son Ceres burst out from the root cage.

He looked at the already vanished figures of Leonard Churchill and his companions, and his expression turned to one of shock: “Spade 10 – God Thief?! Damn it! They were hiding such a grandmaster among them!”

Of course, he saw that the woman well-versed in the Law of War was no simple character, but he had never imagined that she was actually an inheritor of the [Spade 10 – God Thief] sequence.

Although each of the fifty-two sequences led to the God Tier, several sequences were very special.

This [God Thief] sequence was the unique heritage of the Byan Family of the Taren Dynasty!

In other words, among that group of people just now, there was not only an inheritor of Emperor Taren but also a Byan Family Heir?

A myriad of thoughts raced through Holy Son Ceres’s mind, and he vaguely sensed trouble.

He wanted to pursue, but he hesitated and stopped where he was.

As it turned out, he lacked the ability to kill them all quickly.

Moreover, he also realized that the God Thief from the Byan Family was extremely powerful and had deliberately not taken action earlier, certainly plotting something. There might even be a strategy to “lure the enemy in deep”… If he were to chase after them, not to mention that he might not catch them, he might even encounter an ambush…

Besides, with such a major change in the Mirror Secret Realm, the camp needed reinforcements even more.

As he hesitated, Ceres lost the best opportunity to chase.

Looking at the silhouettes that had disappeared through the roots, the face of the Holy Church’s Saint Heir could practically drip water with darkness.

But with a bite of his teeth, he turned around and hurried in the direction of the camp.

…

On the other side, Leonard Churchill, carrying Elder Clinton, ran wildly.

Seeing that their pursuers had not followed, everyone began to realize why Leonard Churchill had not let Sophia Jones take action, only blocking for a moment at the last second.

The higher one’s position, the less daring they are to give chase.

With no pursuers, everyone felt the relief of having skirted death and survived.

And now the direction to escape was very clear–the way the tree roots came was the exit from this space.

However, before they could enjoy their relief, Elder Clinton urgently warned, “Don’t dawdle; let’s run. If you linger, these tree roots will eat you!”

Hearing this, Leonard hastened his pace and simultaneously asked, “Eat people? Elder, what exactly are these tree roots?”

His knowledge couldn’t recognize these tree roots’ origins; very few people in the world could.

But if one were to know, the old man on his shoulder was definitely one of them.

Sure enough.

Upon hearing this, Elder Clinton’s tone lost its confidence, and he stammered, “This… These are the roots of the ‘World Tree,’ which supports countless planes, rooted in the Underworld!”
