Chapter 2064 - 2063: The Mighty Old Tree, Bloodline Awakening

Upon hearing Old Tree's words, both Xu Zimei and his companion frowned, exchanged glances, and couldn't quite grasp the meaning.

Faith can be destroyed, but how?

Yet, Old Tree obviously didn't explain further, he simply emerged from within.

However, everyone noticed that Old Tree couldn't walk freely. Although his body above ground had broken free from the tree's constraint,

his feet were connected to countless roots buried deep in the earth.

With so many roots, unless they were all severed, movement was impossible.

"These trees don't seem to be a part of his body; they're more like restraints," Xu Zimei observed after taking a look.

His observation was correct.

Back then, Inferior Corpse disguised as Old Tree, and emerged suddenly by inquiring the Way through ancient trees.

But later, this tree body was struck dead.

The tree body contained the power of Heavenly Dao, constantly eroding Old Tree.

In order to break free, he had to shed the tree body and revert to Inferior Corpse.

However, with Old Tree's current unawakened prowess, breaking free of this constraint was still somewhat out of reach.

Earlier, that tree body had fallen off, but it was merely a disguise.

The real restraint was the roots beneath.

At this moment, the intense curse power emanated from around Old Tree.

This curse power was no simple thing; it summoned the entire curse power of Death Swamp, continuously flooding in.

It seemed to intend to use the curse's power to annihilate everyone.

"Stop everyone, gather around me," the Human Emperor shouted loudly.

The voice pierced through the mountaintop, resounding endlessly.

At this time, the Human Emperor brought his hands together and began utilizing all the power of faith.

The entire populace of Immortal Island nourished him with the power of faith, and golden rays showered down.

Enveloping the Human Emperor entirely.

At this moment, the Human Emperor seemed sacred and inviolable, with powerful force resonating around him.

It was profound faith power, unassailable.

Once the Human Emperor mastered all faith powers, the Wheel of Faith behind him spun again.

Using the Wheel of Faith as the core, it brewed the True Body of Faith, thereby controlling the power of faith.

Vast waves of faith power unfolded.

Enveloping everyone instantly.

Wherever shielded by faith power, not even a trace of curse power could penetrate.

Looking outside, the sky was black, laden with dark clouds.

The daytime seemed to instantaneously transform into night.

At that moment, the outside was pitch black, an embodiment of curse power solidified in the void.

Transforming from gas to liquid, then liquid to solid.

Curse power formed into one curse arrow after another, those arrows emerged from intense curse materialization.

Far more potent than others.

If struck by this arrow, death would be inevitable.

However, while the curse arrows were formidable, the Human Emperor's faith shield was equally strong.

The faith shield blocked all curse arrows outside, not allowing a single one to pierce inside.

After a prolonged standoff, although the curse power seemed endless, faith power too flowed ceaselessly.

Finally, when both were unable to overpower each other.

Those under the faith shield breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're fortunate to have this power of faith, otherwise this journey would be perilous," someone said.

"Don't be complacent, Old Tree surely isn't this simple," another warned.

After some time, seeing that the curse power couldn't harm everyone.

Old Tree shook his head.

With a deep sigh, he said, "What a pity. If I were at my full strength, such faith would be unworthy of mention.

Truly, the mighty falling prey to the meek!"

At this moment, Old Tree raised his hand, where an ominous mark appeared in his palm.

Upon closer inspection, the mark looked extremely ominous.

The mark appeared to be a mouth, injuring the bearer first.

After its emergence, it initially began devouring Old Tree's flesh, twisting his face in pain.

It wasn't just physical consumption but also one that devoured the Divine Soul.

"Awaken, bear my bloodline, return today," Old Tree intoned devoutly.

Hearing his words, everyone intuitively sensed something was amiss.

Bloodline?

As the mark's momentum completed, countless intricate lines burst forth from it.

These lines connected directly.

At this moment, whether it was the people on the mountain, or other inhabitants on Immortal Island.

Everyone's bodies were inextricably linked by the lines from beyond.

As if suddenly, they all became interconnected.

"What's going on, what are these lines?"

Leaving aside other places on Immortal Island, on the mountain alone, everyone felt something was wrong.

Many tried to sever the lines, but they were intangible and untouchable.

Their blades sliced through empty air.

At this instant, no matter how strong their prowess.

Even the Human Emperor, a Three Corpses Strong One, was entangled by the lines.

"This..." the Human Emperor's expression changed slightly.

"Are these bloodlines truly so troublesome?"

Xu Zimei and the Mountain-Controlling River Emperor were unsure.

Because neither of them bore the bloodline, logically, with the Human Emperor's prowess, a Three Corpses Strong One should have long severed ties with the past, present, and future.

Entangling them within these relations should be nearly impossible.

Yet, the scene unfolding before them indeed implicated the Human Emperor.

"I'll venture to the River of Fate," the Human Emperor said to Xu Zimei and the Mountain-Controlling River Emperor.

He needed to visit the River of Fate to find the source of these lines.

The Human Emperor had thought he could evade the entanglement of bloodlines given his supreme realm.

Yet, he hadn't foreseen his eventual inability to escape.

Watching the Human Emperor head towards the River of Fate, Xu Zimei frowned slightly, realizing the situation was dire.

As the lines connected everyone, the mark returned to Old Tree's body.

With a gentle wave of Old Tree's hand, something seemed to tug beyond the veil.

Old Tree lightly pulled, and instantly, everyone's hearts were drawn out.

In fact, not just everyone present, but every inhabitant on Immortal Island, countless hearts floated in the void.

Crowded and unsettling.

At that moment, everyone resembled lambs awaiting slaughter, devoid of resistance.

"How could this happen," including the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader's face turned unsightly.

Without hearts, ordinary people would die immediately, but beings like them could endure a bit longer.

The crucial point was that with such a slight pull, the faith power in many weakened significantly.

If that power of faith didn't guard them, everyone might perish under curse power.

This was a deadlock.

No wonder Old Tree previously claimed their faith could be shattered.

The means to break the faith was rather simple—absolute power.
