[Tree] Chapter 393: Moonlit Desires

Stella had learned her lesson from the baker. While her Phantom Veil Pendant made her appear mortal to other cultivators, that didn't mean she would seem a simple mortal to other mortals. Since they lacked the spiritual sense to discern her cultivation level in the first place, they were more foc...

[Tree] Chapter 392: Eyepatch

Stella's trip to Ashfallen City ended up being rather dull as everyone was hiding inside from the intense storm. Through her spiritual sense, she listened in on a few conversations, but they were mostly rumors concerning the destroyed harvest because of the storm, stories about the All-Seeing Eye...

[Tree] Chapter 391: A Girl Needs A Hobby

Stella looked out of her house's window, a light smile tugging at the edge of her lips. The slow ruin of reality before her eyes was simply beautiful. The endless meadow of lush green grass surrounding her house looked sick as it withered away to darkened soil. The once bright lilac sky had darke...

[Tree] Chapter 390: Bringer of Ruin

Stella waited in anticipation that Ashlock would agree to her idea.

Aether affinity didn't suit him as it encompassed fluid movement through reality, and he was... well, a tree. Sure, he had Bastions and liked to move the sect members around. But at the end of the day, he wasn't goin...

[Tree] Chapter 389: Desolation

Morrigan was having fun for the first time in a long time.

It wasn't every day that she got to wrap multiple higher-stage cultivation beings around her finger. She loved nothing more than seeing these arrogant children who called themselves cultivators reduced to despair, and there w...

[Tree] Chapter 388: Sly Fox

Vincent Nightrose stretched his new limbs with satisfying clicks and groaned in relief.

He'd planned to craft a new body from scratch with the body parts he had harvested, but his current situation didn't afford him the time for fleshcraft. So he had to use something he had prepa...

Pictures

Ai generated picture of Ashlock's castle in Nightrose City and also one of Nyxalia. Neither are 100% accurate, but they mostly capture the vibe.

[Tree] Chapter 387: Never Aware Of The Strings

Three days had passed since Nightrose City saw a change in leadership. In such a short span of time, the Ashfallen Sect had made their overwhelming presence known. While cultists from the All-Seeing Eye flooded the streets, preaching stories of his past deeds and offering free pills and technique...

[Tree] Chapter 386: Mudcloak's Secret

Ashlock's focus returned to Red Vine Peak to open a portal for the Mudcloaks, as Stella couldn't open such a long-range portal herself.

"Come to think of it, I haven't checked on them in quite a while," Ashlock mused as his spiritual gaze floated through the rain and roaring wind tow...

[Tree] Chapter 385: Discerning One's Nature

Stella's foot paused before the portal with a bone-chilling fear gripping her heart. Even with the Phantom Veil Amulet hanging from her neck, masking her cultivation and bloodline, making her appear as nothing but a mortal, she still couldn't take the next step.

Taking a step back, S...

[Tree] Chapter 384: Constellations

Ashlock stared down at the Starweaver Grand Elder with growing concern. The amount of Qi radiating from the man was well past what should have been possible from a cultivator in the Star Core Realm, and it was only rising. The old man blinked, and his eyes, which had been glowing a heavenly gold,...

[Tree] Chapter 383: Net Positive

Nyxalia had to get as far away from Ashlock as she could. His all-encompassing presence that blanketed the land was all too enticing. It was as if Nightrose City's streets were slathered in sweet honey while she was starving—no, she was absolutely ravenous. It was driving her insane as...

[Tree] Chapter 382: Sovereign of the Veil

Ashlock stared down at Nox through his Evil Eye. He saw that her soul spread throughout the Netherwood Wraith's body like spirit roots.

"You aren't in total control, are you?" Ashlock said. If he looked at any other person or monster, their soul would have a foc...

[Tree] Chapter 381: Mythical Grade

Nox was unsure if she should trust the words floating before her. It claimed Ashlock needed her to make a decision, but it used too many terms that she had never heard of.

SSS-grade? Mythical being? Netherworld Wraith? Nox raised her hand, and it effortlessly passed through ...

[Tree] Chapter 380: Netherworld

Ashlock watched through his Evil Eye as Elysia commanded Pluto's tendrils to stop the castle from exploding. Of course, it was merely an illusion—not that he had told Elysia that. Ashlock worried she wouldn't put on a dramatic enough performance if she didn't believe failure would result in the...

[Tree] Chapter 379: Twisted Kindness

In the darkest depths of the Duskwalker residence, Elysia Mystshroud was sitting cross-legged in a viscous pool of blood before a tiny red-leafed sapling growing out of a stone altar. A purple-tinted aura wreathed her body, making her appear ghostly to her family members kneeling in rows behind h...

Short delay

Hello Tree gang, members of the All-Seeing eye cult, Mudcloak enthusiasts and fellow humans I come today with an update. As previously mentioned in an author note my family is visiting me in Tokyo, I’m honestly surprised that I managed to maintain the upload rate thus far with 5 new people shar...

[Tree] Chapter 378: Masterful Deception

Vincent pressed his back against the stone wall as he carefully peered through a runically enhanced window. Down below in the Nightrose castle's courtyard lined by statues of him in his prime, he saw the few remaining Grand Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect who had stood on his side cowering before ...

[Tree] Chapter 377: Threads of Fate

It looks like I successfully fooled him. Vincent hid a sigh of relief as he didn't have to do another demonstration and lowered his hand. While he had made it look impressive, a lot of work had gone into killing that Nascent Soul Realm shadow titan, and it started way before he drained t...

[Tree] Chapter 376: One Shot

"Morrigan, hang in there. I'm coming to save you." Ashlock couldn't believe what he was saying. Since when did he—a demonic spirit tree revered as an evil god—sprout such heroic lines?

"Why?" Morrigan replied through Abyssal Whispers...

[Tree] Chapter 375: Figuring Things Out

Diana blinked in confusion as she stared at Quill across the ink lake in the Ashfallen Sect's library. Just a second ago, she had witnessed the Silverspire Third Elder explode. Before she'd even had a moment to process the man's spontaneous death, she had felt an immense tug on her soul and ended...

[Tree] Chapter 374: Dead Man Walking

Ashlock used {Eye of the Tree God} to watch from the skies as his adopted daughter strode toward the castle of their greatest foe with two Nascent Soul Realm Ents and Diana in tow. She had a carefree spring in her step and a smile on her face that didn't fade even as dozens of members of the Nigh...

[Tree] Chapter 373: A Show of Force

Stella glanced between Diana and the Nightrose guardian. She noticed the guardian's eyes were swirling with blood Qi as they examined Diana. His frown soon faded and was replaced with that stone-cold facade all old cultivators liked to wear. That it had been broken in the first place showed how D...

[Tree] Chapter 372: Nightrose City

Ashlock watched as Diana helped lug Stella onto the bench under his canopy and set her down while bundled in a cloak. She seemed utterly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Supplying the void shield with Qi had drained a significant amount of her reserves, and by how ferocious Stella had bee...

[Tree] Chapter 371: Grim Reaper

"W-We are going to kill him tonight?" Stella stuttered as she felt a pain in her chest. They had slaughtered the Voidmind family to fake her death, used the last divine beast egg to create the amulet to hide her bloodline and Qi from the world, and she had hidden away for weeks.
