I AM DESPERATE!
*****
This Babel Tree seems a bit like the Ancient Tree of Life.
Of course, although it was somewhat similar to the Ancient Tree of Life in the inherited memory, I did not think that the giant tree was really the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Ancient Tree of Life was the sacred heart of elvenkind, surpassing even the revered Ancient Tree of War in significance. It was no ordinary tree—it was a god-like plant, pulsing with the divine essence of the elves' celestial homeland.
Long ago, the elves cast a world-altering spell, tearing a fragment of their Eternal Heaven from the celestial plane and anchoring it to the material world. This act of supreme magic transformed the land beneath it into a paradise—an Elf Heaven on Earth, where the very air shimmered with divine energy.
The Ancient Tree of Life stood at its core, its roots entwined with both realms, bridging the mortal and the divine. It was said that those who walked beneath its branches could hear the echoes of the elven gods and feel the whispers of a world beyond.
The energy level of this small plane cannot bear such an existence.
However, if it is said that the branches and leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life grew and developed into a giant tree, then it is possible.
Then, thinking of the strong vitality of the Green Ghost Clan…
Suddenly, I felt a powerful aura approaching quickly. The thoughts in my mind were interrupted, and I looked to the east.
A dazzling green meteor flew at a terrifying speed.
As it got closer, I saw clearly that it was a ghost man with a pair of green leaf wings.
Feeling the unabashedly powerful aura on his body, I immediately guessed the identity of the other party—Medici, the king of the Green Ghost Clan.
The name was learned from the mouth of the captured ghost.
"The fight just happened to be unsatisfactory, and he came at the right time."
I no longer thought about the Ancient War Tree and the Ancient Tree of Life and focused all my attention on the incoming Green Ghost King.
Opening the dragon's mouth like an abyss, I unleashed a mouthful of acidic dragon breath, bombarding away with a secret poisonous spiritual light.
A flash of sword light appeared, and the thick dragon breath was directly divided into two. The sword light continued to slash at me without losing power.
I raised my eyebrows slightly, and purple thunder gathered around me, turning into a purple thunder sword that struck toward the sword light.
The two sword lights clashed with each other. The thunderous purple sword was the first to be broken, while the green sword light also became much dimmer.
"So strong."
I concentrated, and the demonic eye between my eyebrows blasted out a materialized black light, completely shattering the dim sword light approaching in front of me.
After smashing the sword light, I did not relax at all. Magic and spiritual energy surged out of my body, and the wide dragon wings slashed hard at the empty space like huge metal knives.
The next moment, the Green Ghost King, Medici, appeared and was forced back dozens of meters by the Dragon Wing Slash. He looked at the black dragon with cold eyes.
I glanced at the huge wound on the dragon's wing. In a few breaths, the wound healed.
The two sides faced off for a moment.
The Green Ghost King was the first to make a move.
A large number of vines spread out and then condensed into a hundred-meter vine snake. The vine snake looked up to the sky and hissed before rushing toward the black dragon.
At the same moment, the Green Ghost King also approached the black dragon with a long sword.
I waved my dragon wings, first blowing away the vine snake, and then my dragon tail whipped toward the Green Ghost King.
Clang~!
A large number of dragon scales shattered, dragon blood spurted out, and then the bleeding quickly stopped. New scales started to grow and recovered.
The Green Ghost King did not show any surprise at the black dragon's recovery ability. In the past year, he had seen many abyss demons with good recovery abilities. Although the black dragon's recovery ability was stronger than those abyss demons, even comparable to their Green Ghost King's, it only regarded them as weird alien creatures with a strong bloodline.
After all, it had only been one year, and he had gained so little knowledge about the Astral Realm that he could not even recognize the true dragon whose reputation resounded throughout the Astral Realm.
I fought one against two, sometimes spitting out dragon breaths, purple thunder, and black water, then relying on my powerful dragon body to fight the Green Ghost King in close combat. Although I would always be cut open by the Green Ghost King's sword and suffer huge injuries, with the second-level super-speed recovery ability, most injuries could be recovered in a few breaths.
But soon, I discovered to my annoyance that the Green Ghost King was too fast and too flexible.
Although its power was far inferior to mine, with the pure energy of the second level of the legend, the attack power and speed it could unleash were terrifying. If it were an ordinary legendary creature, it would have been torn apart by now. The strength of this Green Ghost King was much higher than that of the second-level ghost man I had killed. That ghost man could barely be considered an elite second-level ghost, while the Green Ghost King was at least at the top level of the second tier.
We fought for a while longer, but the more we fought, the more aggrieved I became. Finally, I couldn't help but let out a dragon roar and used the teleportation spell to teleport several kilometers away, facing the Green Ghost King from a distance.
Medici looked at the escaping black dragon and did not choose to pursue it. His brows furrowed deeply.
This black-scaled beast had too many abilities.
Teleportation, Purple Thunder, Black Water, Weird Heat Breath, Purple Thunder Breath, Acid Breath, Terrifying Self-Healing Ability, Black Light with Annihilation and Destruction, Spiritual Attacks, and even Poisonous Abilities!
"How could such a perfect creature exist?" Medici had a headache.
Although the opponent couldn't defeat him, Medici couldn't keep the opponent either.
A giant gate of white light appeared in front of the demon army that had long since gathered.
After receiving the master's instructions, Ozzy and the other demons, without any hesitation, filed in and disappeared into the giant white light gate, returning to a certain forest base thousands of miles away.
During this period, Medici and I looked at each other from a distance, staring calmly, without anyone making a move.
After all the demon army had retreated, I spoke.
"Green Ghost King, how about we make a deal?"
"What deal?" Medici said indifferently. He understood the common language spoken by me, which was necessary to comprehend the enemy.
I took out a black jar from my reverse scale. Through the black jar, Medici saw a materialized soul struggling inside.
A feeling of familiarity came to Medici's mind, but there was also some uncertainty.
But he soon realized—where were Ji and Dai at the base camp?
Medici sensed the fluctuation of the Tree World being activated and had rushed back in a hurry.
The Green Ghosts didn't have the ability to convey messages over long distances, let alone teleportation.
Could it be…?
I opened a gap in the black jar, and the breath of the soul inside was immediately sensed by Medici.
His face suddenly darkened, and an incomparable fire of anger burned in his eyes.
"Alien thing, you are provoking me."
I didn't care about Medici's threat. If I wanted to leave, this guy couldn't keep me at all.
Although this Green Ghost King was very powerful, his methods were actually too simple. If he were a second-level powerhouse with the same strength as him in the Astral Realm, then I would feel truly troubled.
Because no one knows what unknown means the other party might have.
Unlike the Green Ghost Clan, whose low levels focus on self-healing and high levels on controlling vines, even the Green Ghost King Medici had only developed some methods such as vine snakes and wings. In essence, he still relied on plant abilities.
Quite crude.
"How about I trade this soul with you for the corpses of three legendary demons?" I smiled.
Medici had a sullen face and said nothing. Upon seeing this, I sighed and prepared to leave.
"Two legendary demon corpses—this is the bottom line."
From behind, Medici's voice came.
However, I didn't seem to hear it, and half of my dragon body had already stepped into the giant white light door.
Seeing this, Medici finally couldn't sit still and shouted, "Three heads, then three heads!"
"The deal is established."
He didn't know when the dragon turned around and grinned, as if he had foreseen it, and at the same time, some of the guesses in his heart were vaguely confirmed.
"Then I'll be waiting for good news from you, Green Ghost King."
I put away the black jar containing the soul in the dragon's claw and then teleported away.
---
At the same spot, Medici's eyes were terrifyingly ferocious.
Damn it!
"Roar!"
The Green Ghost King looked up to the sky and roared. His anger could not be calmed. The legendary energy soaring into the sky broke through the clouds at 10,000 meters, and the terrifying pressure enveloped dozens of miles in radius.
The ghost warriors in the territory below felt this power and knelt down one after another in silence.
The legendary ghost man 'Ji,' who was in charge of the base camp, flashed to the Green Ghost King and knelt down with a look of shame on his face.
"King, this subordinate is guilty."
"That's enough, go back." Medici glanced at Ji coldly and disappeared.
---
After the battle with the Green Ghost King, I did not return to Tal but stayed in the ghost plane.
I was waiting for the Green Ghost King's reply.
During the invasion of the demon lords, the major ghost clans fought with the demons, and many legendary strongman died on both sides.
Although it was impossible to leave all the corpses, I believed that with the status and strength of the Green Ghost King, he was still capable of taking out the three legendary demon corpses.
If there really isn't one, then I will definitely hunt him. Anyway, he will definitely try his best to get back the soul of the strong person in his tribe.
The reason why I was so confident was the green sky-reaching tree, which was thousands of feet tall and was suspected to be related to the ancient tree of life.
According to rumors, the ancient tree of life, the holy tree of the elves, has the ability to breed life.
I agreed with this rumor because the Ancient Tree of Life was a god-like existence, and many races in the star world were created by gods.
"If my guess is correct, that green ancient tree should have the ability to give the green ghost tribe a new body," I thought.
The green ghost clan has strong vitality, abnormal resilience, and internal organs similar to plant rhizomes. In addition, the green ancient tree looks like the ancient tree of life, and the soul of the strong man of the clan, whom the Green Ghost King is willing to pay a huge price to get back, led me to this guess and association.
As for why I wanted to make a deal with the Green Ghost King after guessing it—wasn't this to enhance the enemy's strength?
Sorry, in the ghost plane, my enemy has always been the invading abyss lord.
The other green ghosts, purple ghosts, frost ghosts, and red ghosts, in my eyes, are nothing more than food and future servants.
Because they have been tightly restricted in this world, and the upper limit of their strength has reached its end. Facing me, who can still soar in strength, it will be a matter of time before I deal with them.
On the contrary, the strength of the invading abyss lord cannot be determined yet. The only thing that can be determined is that the abyss lord's rank exceeds the upper limit of the ghost plane—that is, it has reached at least the third level of the legend.
It would be great if it was only the third level. If it was the fourth level, fifth level, or even a high-level legend, it would still be quite difficult to be targeted by such a strong person.
Waiting for the feast to cool down.
I did not hesitate and took out the legendary second-level green ghost man as the ingredient for this feast.
Under normal circumstances, I do not eat humanoid corpses, but the body structure of the green ghost man is more like a mixture of plants and flesh and blood than a flesh-and-blood creature, making it more inclined to the natural life of plants.
This greatly reduced my resistance.
The main thing is the improvement of talent and strength. I can't refuse to improve my strength just because of this resistance.
In my opinion, this was extremely foolish.
One day of strengthening time passed. I woke up and looked at my panel.

The order of the creature had not improved, even though this time I swallowed a strong man of the second level of the legend.
Although the energy level of the ghost corpses in the second level was several times higher than that of the first level, the ghost body was too small, and its comprehensive energy was not as good as the Abyss Hydra and Purple Thunder Giant Eagle of the first level.
However, the energy could not be compared, but the improvement of talent was still not compromised.
"The first Alienated special third level ability, super speed recovery." I grinned, feeling quite satisfied.
In addition to super-speed recovery, the ability for plant growth had also been upgraded from the first level to the second level.
Since my plant growth talent comes from the green ghosts, these ghosts must have the same ability.
"It's decided. When the ghost plane is conquered, all members of the green ghost clan will be classified as producers and become the logistical support of the Black Wing Lair." I chuckled.
