Cursed Immortality - Chapter 786: Earth Tree of Vitality!

After figuring out the secret of the level-four trial, Jacob didn’t hesitate anymore. He took out multiple atomic grenades and activated them all. He threw them precisely ten meters ahead of the incoming dark beings’ army.

Since all he needed to do was help the Earth Tree of Vitality devour the dark magic cores of dark beings, it was straightforward for him to use the atomic grenades.

Furthermore, those atomic grenades were now almost useless for him because they were too weak for anyone who could be called his enemy. He wasn’t arrogant enough to think his current arsenal of weapons was enough to harm a legendary rank being. Because he knew he would survive without a scratch from the atomic grenades.

But it was a different story for the dark being army. In fact, this was the perfect stage for atomic grenades to perform at their full potential!

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Powerful explosions started to ring as small mushroom clouds rose from the mountain, following shockwaves and tremors.

Jacob remained completely still as he observed the areas of the blast with his Eyes of Judge. He wanted to see if this mountain was enough to handle the explosion of atomic weapons because if he ended up destroying it, then he would not even have a place to regret.

Furthermore, he knew if he used the atomic ammo of Planet Destroyer, not even magic core would survive their terrifying radioactive heatwaves. But if this dark being army were endless, and this mountain was indestructible because of the tower, then he wouldn’t hesitate to launch a few sun missiles that he had to complete this trial!

At this moment, Jacob finally noticed what he was waiting for. He saw that the area of the blast was completely fine! Not even cracks appeared on the mountain’s surface. Furthermore, hundreds of dark magic cores started to release the crimson mist as it flowed towards the summit, where the altar was located!

Jacob flashed an eerie smile, ‘Just as I thought, since this trial is about killing the dark beings and there are even quasi-legends involved, how could this mountain be normal? Or a single spell from a quasi-legend would raise to rubble!’

After confirmation, four Blue X-Sun Missiles suddenly appeared around Jacob, suspended in the air with his soul force. He adjusted them to four different points and launched them!

The Dark Beasts, who weren’t slowed by the explosion or deaths of hundreds of their comrades, completely ignored the incoming calamity before the missiles exploded in the middle of their army!

The booming voice was like the world had blown apart this time, and the entire mountain shook violently. White radioactive heat waves rippled the whole mountain and raised the dark beasts into dust. Those closest to it—even their magic cores turned to dust!

The entire army was suddenly wiped clean by the explosion, but Jacob remained standing in front of the altar like an unshakable mountain. Even the shockwaves that could have previously left him half dead were now like a warm breeze to him.

Just seconds after the explosions, a massive crimson mist rose and flowed towards the altar, cleaving a storm. Jacob could literally feel the vast and pure vitality, and he suddenly wanted to uproot this altar and take it with him for research. Although its function suited him, he knew it was unrealistic, just like that forge.

So, his attention was on the sprout as it started to grow at a terrifying rate. It turned into a seedling from a sprout as small, tiny, pointy leaves began to grow on its branch. Those leaves gave off terrifying vitality that even made Jacob astounded!

This level brings too many surprises to him; just the altar that could rob the dark beings of their vitality was a treasure of its own, but the actual treasure was this Earth Tree of Vitality!

By the time all the mist was absorbed, the Earth Tree of Vitality was now a Sapling, and this sapling gave off an intoxicating scent that could make anyone go mad with greed—even Jacob wanted to eat it!

However, he didn’t lose himself in that scent. He knew he needed more vitality, so he turned his focus toward the mountain below. Although it was now filled with radioactive fog, he could see more and more dark beings quickly appearing. Some of them died the moment they reached the blast zone, but the effects were slowly wearing off since there were simply too many of them.

Some of those dark beasts were even using the corpses of their comrades to move forward.

‘I only have two more blue X-sun missiles, eight white sun missiles, and around fifty atomic grenades left. If they are still not enough, then I have to launch hydrogen bombs, but they will cause too much damage. Well, I’ll see when I reach that point!’

Jacob’s eyes flicker with killing intent as he waits for those dark beings to fill the mountain again. But at this moment, those dark crows suddenly appear again, slightly larger than the previous ones, and they instantly teleport to the summit!

But Jacob was ready now, and he instantly used his soul force to restrain hundreds of dark crows before blasting them apart. Although he felt exhausted, as he only had around 9% of his soul force left, he knew he couldn’t avoid using it, or if something happened to the Earth Tree of Vitality, he would instantly fail the trial.

After taking care of the ambushers, he launched the remaining blue X-sun missiles, with another four white sun missiles!

Just seconds after the explosions, a massive crimson mist rose and flowed towards the altar, cleaving a storm. Jacob could literally feel the vast and pure vitality, and he suddenly wanted to uproot this altar and take it with him for research. Although its function suited him, he knew it was unrealistic, just like that forge.

More and more world-shattering explosions occurred as Jacob stood guard in front of the altar, watching another massive cloud of crimson mist being absorbed by the Earth Tree of Vitality!

This time, the sapling turned into a young tree, as its lustrous emerald leaves gave off a terrifying aura of vitality. Furthermore, Jacob noticed there seemed to be glowing dots on the leaves and starry runes on the tree bark as if stars were etched on them.

But what truly caught his attention was a fully bloomed golden flower. In the center of this flower was a tiny emerald bud like a pearl, giving off an intense aura of vitality and a mysterious force, which made one soul feel refreshed just by taking a whiff of it.

Jacob instantly knew this was the Earth Fruit of Vitality, but it wasn’t ripe yet, so he needed more vitality!

Just like before, Jacob waited for a while for those dark beings to gather together before launching another volley of atomic bombs while defending the tree from those dark crows.

Furthermore, this time, the dark beasts seemed to be launching a magic attack, but Jacob intercepted them by launching missiles and atomic grenades.

The Earth Fruit of Vitality was quickly growing while Jacob was getting exhausted from using soul force. Although this trial was the shortest, it was the most prolonged and complicated for Jacob!

But he persisted, and just when he thought he had to use the hydrogen bomb arsenal, he saw the fruit bud fully grown, releasing an intense wave of vitality. Jacob felt his soul force suddenly replenishing!

Looking at the diamond-shaped emerald fruit, which was glowing intensely in a starry light, Jacob wanted to eat it.

But suddenly, the tree started to wilt as if it had served its purpose.

At this moment, Earth Fruit of Vitality dropped from the tree branch, and the moment it dropped, Jacob wanted to catch it, but the next moment, his vision suddenly darkened, and he felt his entire body shift!

When he regained his vision, he was no longer on the summit of the mountain!
