That bone-deep transformation made Rhode narrow his eyes involuntarily.
It felt amazing!
As that powerful life force dissipated, Rhode slowly opened his eyes.
He immediately sensed the subtle changes in his body.
His strength and physique had become stronger, and his lifespan, mental power, and vitality had been greatly enhanced.
Of course, even in ancient times, such powerful dragon bloodlines were rare.
Not to mention now.
Most of the dragons existing today are ordinary dragons with common bloodlines.
Most are even mixed-blood dragons with impure bloodlines.
Their strength probably isn't much stronger than the Chimera he killed.
In addition to these basic enhancements, he also inherited the Chimera's ability to breathe fire.
However, he had already mastered the fire power of the giants, and now he had the Chimera's fire-breathing ability.
At most, it was just icing on the cake, without any qualitative improvement.
Rhode slowly stretched out a hand, and the next second, his right hand directly transformed into a venomous scorpion snake.
The lion's head's mental attack, the scorpion's tail's venomous sting, the snake's head's devouring ability, and the goat's head's mental charm.
These were all basic abilities of the Chimera, but unfortunately, they didn't even have time to be used before they were all exempted by his Immortal Armor.
If he didn't have the Immortal Armor, it would have taken him a little more time to deal with this guy.
Besides that, what satisfied him the most was naturally the pair of feathered wings.
Chapter 128: Three Beautiful Fairies!
Whoosh!
With a thought, a pair of three-meter-long white wings grew out from behind him.
Rhode rose into the air, and with a gentle wave of his wings, he instantly appeared a hundred meters away.
This speed was simply ridiculously fast.
And this was not the limit of these wings; if he burst out with all his strength, his pure speed could even reach the speed of sound.
The Chimera's wings were not magical organs but pure muscle power.
The stronger the physique, the stronger the power that erupted when flapping the wings.
The faster the speed.
The speed of sound was the limit he could reach in his current state.
If it were faster, although he could barely maintain it, it would cause an overload of damage to his body, and the consumption of his stamina would also double.
With his recovery ability, he didn't need to worry about these things.
However, in most cases, a speed comparable to the speed of sound was barely enough.
He didn't need to overdraft his body.
Of course, if he stacked up various buffs such as werewolf transformation and berserk, his speed could probably even reach several times the speed of sound.
He retracted his wings and slowly landed.
Looking at the Tree of Life close at hand, Rhode walked directly over the water.
The aura left behind by the Chimera's beheading made the surrounding surviving magical beasts dare not approach.
They could only watch Rhode approach the Tree of Life with unwilling eyes.
"Tree of Life..."
Rhode could only stand under the huge tree, the majestic aura of life seemed to be baptizing his body.
However, after sacrificing the Chimera, his vitality had reached a new height.
Merely relying on the aura of the Tree of Life couldn't bring him any benefits.
Perhaps it would be useful to consume the morning dew of the Tree of Life.
"Where is the morning dew of life?"
Rhode slowly floated up and came to the connection point of the Tree of Life's branches.
On the main trunk, a depression the size of a head was like a wooden basin.
Ninety-nine percent of the life aura emanating from the Tree of Life came from here.
The rich vitality gathered in this depression, slowly coalescing into a drop of morning dew of life.
Looking at the only drop of morning dew of life, Rhode couldn't help but frown.
Madam Temani and her three daughters wanted to awaken the hidden bloodline within their bodies, requiring at least three drops of morning dew of life.
Now, only one drop was far from enough.
As for waiting here?
It would take at least several years for a drop of morning dew of life to condense.
He didn't have time to wait here for several years.
He waved his hand to collect the morning dew of life from the tree, and Rhode looked at this Tree of Life that exuded vigorous vitality but also appeared somewhat withered.
The Tree of Life was evolved from the branches and leaves of the World Tree.
After ancient times, the remaining Trees of Life in the world gradually withered and decayed because they lacked the nourishment of the World Tree.
Most of the remaining Trees of Life had also fallen into a weakened state.
This Tree of Life seemed to be growing well, but in reality, it was already reaching its limit.
If it were a normal Tree of Life, the lushness of its branches and leaves could even obscure this vast forest.
The surrounding lake was actually originally just the place where the Tree of Life took root.
It was just that as this Tree of Life withered and its volume constantly decreased, the place where it originally took root became a lake.
And the Chimera, at the peak of the Tree of Life, was just a magical creature栖息resting in the tree.
So, according to this situation.
At most, within a hundred years, this Tree of Life would wither and dissipate.
This was its fate.
It was also the fate of all Trees of Life.
"Rather than withering here without any meaning, it's better to become my nourishment."
Rhode reached out and placed his hand on the Tree of Life, feeling the powerful aura of life within and the almost dissipated will.
This tree was already reaching its limit.
Once the Tree of Life withered, it would turn into pure natural power and merge into this world.
It wouldn't leave any traces.
Rather than disappearing so wastefully, becoming his experience pack could at least create a little value.
Sacrifice!
Rhode silently recited in his heart, and as a ray of light bloomed in his hand, without any repulsion or resistance.
The Tree of Life was directly sacrificed.
Whoosh!
At the moment the Tree of Life was sacrificed, Rhode's expression instantly changed.
Powerful vitality spread throughout his body; in an instant, he felt as if he had become a part of this world.
His feet seemed to have turned into tree roots, and a constant stream of roots grew out of his body, burrowing into the ground.
A green light appeared on his body, and his skin began to lignify, showing patterns like trees.
In just a moment, Rhode saw himself turning into a tree, a Tree of Life.
"Hiss!"
Feeling the constant stream of natural power pouring in from the world, Rhode's scalp went numb.
The vitality contained in the Tree of Life was too strong, and his current physique couldn't completely absorb it.
Therefore, the vitality that was inadvertently emitted caused a response from the natural power of this world.
This natural power completely regarded him as a new Tree of Life, so it actively gathered around him.
But this was not a good thing.
The vitality that he couldn't absorb in the first place, coupled with this surge of natural power, directly allowed his body to be occupied by the magpie's nest.
If this situation continued to develop, it wouldn't be long before his consciousness would be assimilated by the world, eventually turning into a Tree of Life without any wisdom.
This benefit was not easy to take.
Rhode took a deep breath, used his last strength, and set fire to the roots under his feet.
Pure white wings appeared behind him, and with a flap of his wings, he instantly rose from the ground.
The constantly growing roots, without soil to take root in, instantly withered and died.
Werewolf transformation, Giant transformation, Berserk...
Various abilities were instantly activated, directly elevating his physique to the extreme.
The vitality that he couldn't bear before, suddenly seemed to have found a container, flowing back into his body.
A powerful life origin was constantly transforming his cells and body.
This transformation was not comparable to the sacrifice of the Chimera before.
A starved camel is bigger than a horse; even if it was just a Tree of Life that was about to wither, it was still a Tree of Life.
The life origin contained in this Tree of Life, when added together, was enough to equal the total of dozens of Chimeras.
Soon, Rhode felt something was wrong.
This vast life origin merged into his body; logically, his physique, strength, magic power, and even lifespan should have soared to a terrifying level in a short period of time.
But in reality, he didn't feel any obvious changes in his body.
These life origins didn't seem to be directly strengthening his physique and strength.
More like, they were transforming his body, endowing it with certain characteristics.
Characteristics similar to the Tree of Life!
As the life origin in his body was completely consumed, Rhode felt as if his body had become a Tree of Life.
He could constantly absorb the surrounding natural power and directly transform it into pure life force.
He could even gather these life forces together and condense a true morning dew of life.
And the place where the morning dew of life gathered was his seed.
In other words, he was now a walking Tree of Life.
