279 Everyone With a Trick up Their Sleeves! (1/2)
As the different political factions stood in a face-off against one another, Wang Baole hid in the tunnel. His pupils had contracted suddenly. After his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment realm, his mosquitoes had gained considerable resilience. They might not rival a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, but they weren't mere ants that could be destroyed with a single glance.
A mere glance from the youth in crimson robes, however, had turned all nine of his mosquitoes to dust instantly. This meant that the youth's power had reached stupendous levels.
The Sect Lord of the Galactic Dusk Sect… Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and frowned. He kept his distance and pulled out a handful of Mystic Trace Beads. He was reluctant to simply leave. He released nine mosquitoes again and commanded them to fly ahead.
Inside the cavern, the Galactic Dusk Sect Lord's strange entrance, his overpowering presence that blanketed the entire area, his piercing eyes, and his strong words had the effects of a game changer. The precarious balance was thrown. The tides turned.
The allied Five Generation Sky Clan and Galactic Dusk Sect had seven Core Formation realm cultivators between them. The Sect Lord of the Galactic Dusk Sect was at the perfected Core Formation realm, and he alone was enough to turn the tide.
The balance of power was collapsing. It was then, under the piercing gaze of the Galactic Dusk Sect Lord, amidst the heavy silence, that the black-robed man and the giant mutated tree suddenly laughed.
Both the giant tree and the black-robed man smiled. Upon closer look though, one might notice that the black-robed man had started smiling first. The giant tree then followed shortly after.
The black-robed man started shaking his head and sighing as his smile grew wider.
”I've been trying to figure out the trump card the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect were holding. I didn't expect it to be the Sect Lord of the Galactic Dusk Sect's personal appearance. What a big catch.”
”But this is our parent tree. The moon… can be considered our home. How can we not have something to protect ourselves from you outsiders?” As the black-robed man spoke, he lifted his right foot then stomped the ground suddenly. The others began to frown as a face suddenly emerged from the tree branch upon which the fruit was hanging.
As it appeared, the rest of its body started to form with startling speed as well. In a blink of an eye, a man was stepping out from the tree!
He had the appearance of a young man, and his eyes were cold and merciless. As he stepped out from the branch, a Core Formation realm cultivation erupted from his person. The Spirit Qi was identical to the aura belonging to the black-robed man and the giant mutated tree!
His appearance sent the cultivators from the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect gasping. The Sect Lord of the Galactic Dusk Sect narrowed his eyes. His face was solemn as he seemed to realize something, the look on his face darkening.
It was then that the second batch of nine mosquitoes that Wang Baole had released reached the center of the cavern. Upon seeing the person who had walked out from the tree branch, Wang Baole reeled back in shock. Incredulity flashed across his eyes.

The person who had walked out from the tree branch was the third descendant of the mythical Osmanthus Tree on the moon, the one who had been destroyed by the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect with the aid of the other two giant trees after he had just entered the Mystic Luna Realm!
He wasn't dead!
As soon as he stepped out, Huang Shan and the other giant tree immediately raced towards the black-robed man. The three started melding with one another instantly. Upon closer look, one could see that Huang Shan and the other giant tree had merged themselves with the black-robed man's body!
The elders of the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Galactic Dusk Sect were immediately alarmed. They moved to stop them but were themselves stopped by the solemn-looking Galactic Dusk Sect Lord.
”He's trying to lure you over!”
The black-robed man smiled as soon as the Galactic Dusk Sect Lord spoke. The seemingly slow fusion suddenly sped up and was instantly completed, taking but the span of a breath. The giant tree and Huang Shan vanished, and only the black-robed man remained standing. Aura suddenly erupted from his person.
Waves of a perfected Core Formation realm blast surged outward, roaring to the heavens; its power rivaled that of the Galactic Dusk Sect Lord!
If the human cultivators had approached earlier and tried to stop the black-robed man, they would have been caught by surprise, and a number of them would have been killed. It was clear… that the black-robed man's fusion had been complete. The earlier performance had been an act to lure them in!
”It's a pity no one took the bait.” The black-robed man rolled his shoulders. As he lamented, he turned towards the Galactic Dusk Sect Lord. The latter had an ugly look on his face.
