Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 346: World Tree Barrier

The Chaos Forest underwent a startling transformation. From afar, Wang Badao and Mandell observed countless golden lights suddenly appearing within the vast expanse of the forest.

Wang Badao exclaimed in shock, "What is that?"

Mandell frowned, "I don't know, but I can sense an unusually terrifying energy fluctuation!"

While the two Heroes were still trying to comprehend what was happening, an even more astonishing sight unfolded. The lights within the forest rapidly grew, each transforming into a giant tree, towering over a thousand meters high. Each tree radiated a golden glow, ethereal and dreamlike, almost indistinguishable from the World Tree, except for being slightly smaller.

In just ten minutes, the entire Chaos Forest, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was dotted with these enormous trees, each appearing at intervals of a hundred miles. Even the Thunder Highlands was covered with these towering golden trees. The entire Chaos Forest, and even areas beyond the forest, were now bathed in the glow of these trees, transforming the region into a divine and dream-like realm.

What was going on? How did these golden trees appear? Were they real?

While the two Heroes hesitated, unsure whether what they saw was real or an illusion, the nearest golden tree summoned a portal. Through these portals, Darkness City's troops were rapidly transported to the location. Each tree served as a means of teleportation. Even vast armies could be instantly transported to any corner of the Chaos Forest. Thus, in an instant, the Darkness City's forces had arrived.

Mandell carefully sensed and concluded, "These giant trees' auras are interconnected, with their core source deep within Darkness City. This must be the effect of some powerful Demon King structure!"

Both Wang Badao and Mandell found this hard to believe. Despite their extensive knowledge of high-level Demon King buildings, nothing could have prepared them for such an extraordinary phenomenon. Even the most advanced structures couldn't possibly achieve such an exaggerated effect, causing divine trees to sprout throughout the entire forest. It was simply too incredible.

"Let’s not worry about it too much! We’ll just breach it!" Mandell commanded and over ten thousand fallen angels simultaneously gathered their power, sending beams of black light down like lasers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosions, the barrier of the Chaos Forest remained completely intact. It wasn't just unbroken; it showed no signs of significant depletion. The surface of the barrier burned with raging flames, a result of the demonic energy failing to penetrate and instead clinging to the shield, attempting to erode it.

"How is it so tough!?" Mandell was astonished. No one understood the power of the Demon Flame Legion better than he did. This barrage should have been enough to shake the barrier of an imperial capital.

It was important to note that an imperial capital's barrier was the most fortified line of defense in an empire, protecting a relatively small area. Yet here, the Chaos Forest's barrier was not only as strong, if not stronger, but it also covered the entire forest. This was equivalent to the vast expanse of at least an entire kingdom, several hundred times larger than the area covered by an imperial capital's barrier. Generally, the larger the area a barrier covered, the weaker its protective capabilities should be.

"Unbelievable! How can a barrier be this strong? Such a thing has never appeared in this world before!"

"Hmph, I refuse to believe it!" Wang Badao commanded his subordinates, "Unleash the Annihilation Ray!"

Thousands of holy dragons received the order and immediately opened their mouths, gathering an immense amount of radiant energy. Once it reached a terrifying density, the next second, the beams all converged on Wang Badao. This surprising move was indeed eye-catching.

However, Wang Badao didn't panic at all. His body suddenly crystallized, transforming into a completely transparent crystal dragon. This crystal dragon was composed of countless perfect facets, and when the beams struck these facets, they converged into the center of the crystal dragon, forming an incredibly powerful energy.

In an instant, the originally colorless and transparent crystal dragon began to emit a blinding light comparable to the sun, absorbing the light attacks from thousands of holy dragons. The brightness was so intense that it could blind an ordinary person.

"Break!" Wang Badao roared, releasing intense light from orifices, and then unleashed a powerful beam from his mouth. This beam was extraordinary in power, as it not only contained Wang Badao's immense strength but also the combined power of the entire Holy Dragon Legion.

The immense light was like a sword, an invincible sword of judgment. As the enormous beam descended, it indeed caused some damage to the Chaos Forest's barrier. However, even such a powerful attack only managed to create a small opening in the barrier. It did not destroy or significantly weaken the barrier's overall defensive capability. While this opening might allow experts like Wang Badao and Mandel to enter instantly, it was still quite risky, making it easy for them to fall into a trap.

"The famous Holy Dragon Emperor. Hmph! It turns out you're just so-so."

Han Kexin, Ophelia, and Nancilia had appeared. Han Kexin held the Book of the Demon King in her hands, emitting an aura that was comparable to that of a Level 7 legend.

She taunted, "Do you dare to come down and face me?"

Wang Badao's expression grew dark. He had known that the Darkness City and Chaos Forest would be tough to conquer, but he hadn't expected them to be this formidable.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Han Kexin provoked.

Wang Badao ultimately held back. After all, he wasn’t foolish enough to fall into an obvious trap.

At that moment, another voice cut through the tension. "Mere lapdogs of the Demon King, what gives you the right to be so arrogant before us?"

A white figure appeared overhead, none other than Lucas.

"Did you really think that hiding behind a barrier makes you untouchable? Breaching it is no challenge for me!"
