Chapter 1183: Sunflower Forefather (1/2)

Chapter 1183: Sunflower Forefather

“Splashh—” A series of splashes came about. All of the blown away ancestors fell into the ocean.

This scene was too shocking. The experts here couldn’t regain their composure.

Both Teng Jiwen and the citadel lord were slack-jawed from fear. This was simply a legendary tale!

In this split second, they suddenly thought about the possibility that their ancestral tree might be controlled by Li Qiye! However, that would be preposterous. Even their own ancestors couldn’t control the vine, let alone an outsider.

If this was indeed the case, then the only plausible explanation was that Li Qiye did have a demonic art.

“Anyone else want to stand in my way?” Vine branches from the ancestral tree began to merge behind Li Qiye.

The experts here were aghast, to say the least. They had never seen such a demonic art before. It was beyond their imagination.

Eventually, the experts glanced at each other. They continued to slowly converge on Li Qiye to the point of not even letting a single drop of water through.

Naturally, they were quite afraid. Even their ancestors were blown to the horizon like flies, and they were not as strong as them.

However, letting Li Qiye go or retreating weren’t options they could take. They deemed him too great of a threat to let him leave alive today.

Li Qiye smiled at these experts: “A bit idiotic, but still quite unyielding. Daring to come despite knowing the disparity...”

“Vine Controller!” A loud explosion came from a cave along with a voice. Although this voice was very quiet, everyone could hear it clearly.

An old man emerged from the forbidden ground. To be exact, it was a sunflower tree.

It was much taller than an adult. Moreover, the sunflowers on the tree were blossoming to great sizes.

There was an old man’s face on the sunflower in the center. He came out of the forbidden ground without exuding any blood energy. However, he gave the feeling that a simple flip of his palm could cause the world to collapse.

“An ancestral form!” Teng Jiwen murmured after seeing the shape of this sunflower.

The ancestral form was a method of obtaining atavism for treants. Many within this race would cultivate a human form and become powerful existences.

However, this was not to say that a humanoid form was more powerful. In fact, it was precisely the opposite. A humanoid treant was not as powerful as an ancestral form treant because this atavistic form allowed them to control the strongest origin power.

However, despite the great benefits, there was a fatal weakness to the ancestral form. There was no way to pa.s.s down their bloodline if they were to keep this form, regardless of how powerful and heaven-defying they might be. Eventually, their legacy would end.

Only those with a flesh and blood body could reproduce and spread their bloodline to future descendants.

Because of this, the majority of the treants would cultivate into a human form. Very few were willing to maintain the ancestral form. After all, everyone wanted to pa.s.s down their legacy.

Being strong was meaningless if it meant that one would lose the ability to reproduce and pa.s.s down their legacy!

The citadel lord came back from his shock and murmured after seeing this sunflower: “Sunflower Forefather!”

An expert was ecstatic and muttered: “It is the forefather, our forefather has come into being!”

So it turned out that this large sunflower was the Sunflower Forefather. He was the most powerful and oldest ancestor of the citadel. His appearance was a rare sight. Even the citadel lord had only seen him once in his life, and this was at a very young age.
