Chapter 1107: Powerful Human Monk
When a towering tree appeared in front of them in the haze, Chen Yang and Qiao Wanjun were stunned.
"Let's go and look in that direction. I think I found the World Tree. Maybe this is really the small world of Ragnarok." Chen Yang said excitedly, pointing to the front.
As long as the world tree is discovered, it can almost be confirmed the origin of this small world.
"It seems like it really is. However, it's too tall and looks more like a mountain. But it has a fork, so it's obviously not a mountain." Qiao Wanjun also focused her eyes and stared ahead.
There was a huge forked shadow in the shadows, connecting the sky and the earth.
According to legend, the world tree in Norse mythology supports nine worlds, which is of course impossible in reality.
The nine worlds that are supported are not nine worlds at all. It might be more appropriate to call them nine cities.
The nine cities were not built on the earth, but on nine floating mountains, or floating islands.
Because the nine floating islands are distributed in different positions of the World Tree and are closely connected to the World Tree, it looks like they are supported by the World Tree.
Whoosh whoosh!
Both of them rode as fast as they could, and soon they had traveled a hundred kilometers.
"What a big tree, it's a pity it's dead."
When they got close to the World Tree, Qiao Wanjun's eyes were filled with bitterness and sadness.
This is a giant tree that has broken through the clouds and is rooted in an abyss. It is unknown how many thousands of meters high it is, perhaps even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of meters. The end cannot be seen at a glance.
The diameter of its trunk is also extremely terrifying, reaching several thousand meters.
Normally, for a tree to grow to this size, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, and it would need to be carefully cared for and constantly watered with spiritual water.
It's a pity that such a towering tree died in the long river of time and has dried up. At least when Qiao Wanjun looked up, she couldn't see a single green leaf.
So she was very sad.
But if you think about it, everything makes sense, because if this small world is destroyed, how can a world tree survive alone?
It is even possible that the world tree died first, and then this small world also entered the twilight of its life, and is still marching towards the end.
Looking up, I saw that among the thick branches, there were indeed floating islands. They were all huge, with a radius of at least a dozen kilometers and at most hundreds of kilometers.
However, some of these floating islands have become tilted, while others have cracked, with large criss-crossing cracks all over them.
Even on the ground, you can see the crashed floating island, shattered into pieces.
The reason why these floating islands can float is because they are supported by the power of the formation, not by the branches of the World Tree.
In the immortal cultivation civilizations in the universe, many of the large immortal cultivation families have such floating islands, which are very common.
However, to build such a huge floating island with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, it is difficult for even a Jindan to do it. At least a Yuanying must be involved.
The abyss where this towering tree is rooted is probably the legendary Kinlunga Chasm, the birthplace of Ymir, the ancestor of the giants.
However, this chasm was not as huge as the legend said. Chen Yang saw the other side at a glance. If he concentrated his eyes, he could even see the flames on the other side. It was a continent of fire.
Half is fire, half is ice and snow, and the ice and fire meet in the chasm. You can hear the sound of rushing water below and the fog rolling up into the sky.
However, over the eternity of time, the ice and snow on the Ice Continent have receded, and the flames on the Fire Continent have also retreated, and the wonderful sight of ice and snow dancing together can no longer be seen.
This is a broken world!
It is also a world that is accelerating towards destruction!
"It's really strange. How did this tree grow so big? It's unscientific and unreasonable." Qiao Wanjun said to herself.
"Because it is not an ordinary tree, it is the spiritual root of the earth." Chen Yang said sadly.
"What spiritual roots of heaven and earth?" Qiao Wanjun was stunned.
"To be precise, it should be just a branch of the earth's spiritual root, not all of it." Chen Yang said with a very serious expression.
Although the towering tree was dead, Chen Yang could still feel its pulse by holding his breath and concentrating.
This pulsation is exactly the same as the pulsation of the earth that he feels in the outside secular world, and it makes him feel close to it.
Therefore, he concluded that this towering giant tree was a branch of the earth's spiritual root.
The old Dragon King of the Dragon Group also said that the earth's spiritual root is a giant tree that reaches the sky, and its well-developed root system covers every corner of the earth.
Of course, this root system is not that root system. It should be the earth vein, or the spiritual vein.
If this towering tree in the world of Norse gods is the giant spiritual root tree of the earth, then it is too small.
It is likely that when the spiritual roots of the earth were stolen, the Norse gods took the opportunity to dig up a root system, and it was this root system that grew into a towering tree, thus supporting a small world.
Unfortunately, this towering tree is ultimately just a root system of the earth's spiritual roots, and its lifespan is limited.
When this towering tree came to the end of its life, this small world would inevitably come to the end of its life as well. In order to grab limited resources, a great war broke out among the gods, and in the end both sides were defeated and died.
Of course, this is just Chen Yang's guess.
Ouch!
Suddenly, a shocking roar of a beast was heard, filled with a murderous aura.
"Human, get out of here!"
Then a voice full of vicissitudes of life was heard.
The voice sounded very strange, not like human speech.
It was a group of snow-white demon wolves, standing at the foot of a towering tree, confronting a group of human monks.
There are floating islands on top of the towering trees. These floating islands are the residences of the various races that lived here thousands of years ago. You can even see some ruined palaces on them.
In Norse mythology, there are two major tribes of gods living here, the Aesir and the Vanir, as well as giants, elves, dwarfs, humans, etc. Different races live on different floating islands.
At this moment, the human monks who came to this small world wanted to climb up the giant tree and go to the floating island to take a look. Perhaps the gods had left some treasures there.
In addition, at the foot of the towering tree, there is a pool of magical spring water, which is also coveted by many human monks.
This sacred spring is also recorded in Norse mythology. It is the Fountain of Wisdom, located in Jotunheim, next to the second root of the World Tree.
It was this sacred spring that nourished the World Tree, allowing it to grow into a towering giant.
You know, even the king of gods Odin sacrificed one eye in order to drink a sip of the holy spring water. You can imagine how precious this holy spring is.
However, a group of demon wolves stood in front of the towering tree. They not only regarded the dead world tree as their own territory, but also prohibited human monks from touching the sacred spring. They were extremely powerful.
But human monks are not easy to mess with. Those who can come to this small world are all outstanding people.
A big war may start at any time!
However, the World Tree is so huge, with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, but some human monks have taken a detour to other places, climbed up the World Tree, and headed towards the floating islands where the gods lived.
Ouch!
Demonic wolves chased after the human monks and fought a fierce battle on top of a giant tree. It was extremely brutal.
In short, it is impossible for human monks to return empty-handed after coming here, even if they have to make great sacrifices.
Although the demon wolves are powerful and have the home advantage, the strength of humans should not be underestimated.
"Respected Lord Demon Wolf King, this pool of sacred spring water is the private property of the gods. After the gods fell, this pool of sacred spring water became ownerless. It is too unreasonable for your demon wolf clan to take it for yourselves. Now I have a suggestion. My human race is willing to share the sacred spring water with your demon wolf clan to avoid a war. What do you think?" A man in golden armor on the human side said. His tone was kind and not aggressive, and he was willing to negotiate.
This is a Western man, tall and majestic, looking like a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with long, smooth silver hair, and even his pupils are silver, as deep as the abyss.
This look alone is enough to show that this is an extremely powerful being, who must be outstanding among the human race.
He was wearing a golden chain mail, not a full-body style, with his head exposed. He held a golden sword in one hand and a golden shield in the other, giving people a feeling of an invincible god of war.
The golden chain mail on his body exuded wisps of golden light, and faintly visible lingering runes. It was obvious that this chain mail had been refined through sacrifices and was endowed with the characteristics of a magic weapon.
The golden sword in his hand was terrifying. Having killed too many lives, the originally golden blade was dyed blood red. Wisps of murderous light flickered and cut the air.
In addition, he was surrounded by twelve men dressed similarly, and each of them was tall and majestic, with an aura that shocked everyone, as if they were iron-blooded warriors who had fought their way out of a sea of blood and corpses.
These twelve iron-blooded men surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon.
Including him, there are thirteen people in their team.
This tall and majestic man has a domineering name, Arthur.
The name of the team composed of the twelve people around him is also very domineering, called the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
The twelve knights of the round table regard Arthur as their king, so he is also called King Arthur.
Of course, this King Arthur is not that King Arthur.
This is a man from Great Britain, a powerful god in the Sunset Empire. He named himself Arthur, firstly out of respect for the ancestors, and secondly because he hopes to restore the Sunset Empire's former glory.
Once upon a time, the Sunset Empire was the most powerful country in the world, known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
But more than a hundred years ago, with the rise of the Star-Spangled Empire, the British Empire declined and became the Sunset Empire.
Whenever they think back on it, the people of the Sunset Empire can't help but shed bitter tears.
King Arthur and his twelve knights of the round table are tasked with restoring the former glory of the Sunset Empire and letting it dominate the world again.
Although the hope is slim, King Arthur and his twelve Knights of the Round Table will never give up, even if they die in battle.
When King Arthur said this, the twelve knights around him, as well as other monks and people with super powers, became excited.
It is really great that the human race and the demon wolf race share the sacred spring water!
By then, you will definitely become a fat man after drinking it in one gulp.
The Wolf King mentioned by King Arthur was standing beside the sacred spring, surrounded by a group of magic wolves.
It was so huge that it stood out among a group of magic wolves. Its fur was snow-white and crystal clear. Its body was comparable to that of an adult African elephant. Its four legs were thicker than the waist of an adult man. It looked just like Fenrir, the ancestor of magic wolves in Norse mythology.
If such a demon wolf came to the ordinary human world, it would definitely be a disaster.
"Humans, don't even think about getting your hands on the sacred spring water. It belongs to my Demon Wolf clan. If you ignore my warning, you will surely pay a heavy price." The Demon Wolf King roared. He was clearly a wolf, but he spoke human language.
It can even transform into a human if it wants.
From its aura alone, it could be seen that this demon wolf's strength had not only reached the divine realm, but was also not just an ordinary divine realm.
It may even have reached the limit of the divine realm, the ceiling of the small world's combat power. Suffering from the suppression of the heavenly way, it is unable to go further.
"King Arthur, I don't think it's necessary to waste time talking to him. You and I will join forces to kill this demon wolf king. This holy spring water will be divided equally between your Knights of the Round Table and my Knights Templar. What do you think?"
A man in silver armor not far away glanced at King Arthur and spoke slowly.
This person's words were much more powerful, and it was clear that he did not take the group of demon wolves seriously.
It was a blond man with blue eyes, tall and straight, with silver armor emitting a blazing divine glow. He rode a tall horse, which was also covered in armor.
A man and a horse stood there, motionless, like a mountain, giving people a sense of oppression.
When the man mentioned the Knights Templar just now, all the casual practitioners present looked at him with awe.
The Knights Templar is an organization under the Holy See.
The Holy See is the most powerful organization in the West. At the Pope's command, heads of state of many countries have to bow their heads to show respect.
The paladin Antonio, whom Chen Yang had killed on the research ship before, was a member of the Knights Templar.
Those who can join the Knights Templar are all elites, and at least have the fighting power of a grandmaster.
The same goes for the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur. All of them must reach the Grandmaster level or above to be eligible to join.
This tall man in silver armor is not only the leader of the Knights Templar, but also the Son of God of the Holy See. His name is John, also known as Saint John.
There is only one Holy Son in the history of the Holy See, who will become the successor to the Pope when he grows up.
Every Holy Son of the Holy See can be described as a child of destiny, with outstanding talents and extremely high natural talent for cultivation.
St. John broke through the divine realm when he was in his forties. Now, at the age of fifty, he is showing signs of breaking through again and is not far from the middle stage of the divine realm.
Among the cultivators, there are only a handful who can break through to the divine realm in their forties.
St. John’s gift is definitely something that only comes once every few hundred years, or even once every thousand years.
He held a large cross sword in his hand and swept it lightly. Silver light shone everywhere, and holy light filled the air. The void seemed to be split open, revealing a dark sword mark.
Extremely horrifying!
