Dragon Ball: I became the strongest warrior after practicing half of my skills

Chapter 210

When the spiritual tree seed carrying infinite hope and mysterious power was gently thrown into the earth, Darles and his group of ferocious men slowly turned and left.

With steady and powerful steps, they gradually moved away from the land that was about to give birth to the magical fruit, and finally boarded the huge spaceship that was parked on the ground not far away.

Entering the spaceship, a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere permeated.

However, everyone knew clearly that this was only a short period of calm, because what was waiting next was a long time - the spiritual tree took root, sprouted, grew vigorously, and finally produced fruitful spiritual fruits. This process would take a certain amount of time to complete successfully.

So, Darles and his men found their own comfortable positions and sat down.

Some people leaned on the soft seats and closed their eyes slightly; some people lay directly in the spacious lounge to fully relax their bodies; others chose to sit cross-legged on the ground, adjust their breathing, and enter a state of meditation. The entire spaceship was so quiet that only the slight breathing sound and the occasional hum of the machine could be heard.

In this silence, time seemed to freeze, and every minute and every second seemed particularly long, but Darles and his men did not feel anxious or impatient. On the contrary, they were using this rare free time to close their eyes and rest, accumulating energy.

Eight hours, for the time scale of the universe, is just a blink of an eye.

However, in the abyss of this planet, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

At first, everything seemed calm, but as time went on, a weak vitality began to sprout quietly in that dead land.

A touch of tender green, like a filament in early spring, bravely penetrated the shackles of darkness, that was the first ray of life of the spirit tree.

The roots quickly penetrated into the ground, deep between the rocks and the soil, greedily absorbing nutrients from the depths of the earth.

And those tiny vines seemed to have life. They flexibly shuttled between the cracks, not only filling those hideous wounds, but also climbing up at an incredible speed, decorating the entire abyss with vitality.

As time went by, the green gradually spread, covering the entire abyss. Tiny flowers began to bloom on the vines, emitting a faint fluorescence, illuminating the entire space like a dream.

As the spirit tree grew wildly, a catastrophic ecological change followed.

The first to suffer was the forest around the abyss. Those ancient trees, once the guardians of this land, have now become victims of the greed of the spirit tree. Their leaves began to wither and yellow, losing their former luster, and the trunks gradually lost their support. Finally, they fell to the ground with a bang, turning into wisps of green smoke and being sucked into the body by the greedy roots of the spirit tree.

With the disappearance of the forest, a chain reaction was triggered like a domino.

Those animals that depended on the forest for survival lost their homes. They either fled in panic or helplessly waited for the judgment of fate.

Some animals were tightly entangled by the vines of the spirit tree, struggling painfully, and eventually turned into nutrients for the growth of the spirit tree; others wandered in despair, looking for a glimmer of hope for survival.

The air was filled with fear and despair, and the entire ecosystem collapsed completely at this moment.

The once clear streams became turbid, and the fish floated on the water with their bellies turned upside down; the birds lost their habitat and could only circle helplessly in the sky; and the beasts that once ran freely on this land could only make bursts of mournful cries, telling of their helplessness and pain.

In this wasteland, only the dazzling green of the spirit tree was particularly dazzling. It seemed like a tireless giant, constantly devouring everything around it, just for the final fruit, and those innocent lives, in its eyes, were nothing more than insignificant nutrients.

As the spirit tree continued to grow, its powerful absorption ability began to show its full potential. All the trees within a radius of 20 kilometers, which were once lush and full of vitality, were no longer spared. All of them were sucked dry by this mysterious and terrifying spirit tree. The originally lush forest instantly turned into a barren desert, without any vitality.

The wind whistled past, raising yellow sand all over the sky, as if it was the wail and accusation of nature.

However, facing this miserable scene, Darles and his men not only did not show a trace of pity, but all of them showed joy on their faces, and their eyes flashed with greed.

Darles stared at the spirit tree and muttered to himself:"In a little while, in a little while, the fruit will be produced! I can't wait to taste that supreme power again!" His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an almost crazy desire.

He turned a blind eye to the disappearance of the lives around him, as if these were just insignificant sacrifices, just to achieve his ambition of pursuing ultimate power.

He even thought that the spiritual tree was growing too slowly. If it weren't for the fact that the tree could only grow by absorbing nutrients on its own, he would probably have been unable to restrain his impulse and helped it grow faster. In his heart, the most important thing was to get the fruit containing endless power as soon as possible, and everything else could be thrown behind his mind. This obsession with power and indifference to life was chilling.

Finally, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and shone on this barren land, the spiritual tree reached the peak of its life. The whole tree seemed to be ignited by flames, and each fruit was dazzling red, emitting an alluring light.

Dales and his men pounced on the fruits almost at the same time. Their movements were swift and greedy, as if they were afraid of missing any one. When the fruits entered their mouths, a strong force instantly surged into their bodies. Their muscles swelled, and the blood vessels under their skin were clearly visible, as if countless small snakes were swimming.

"Haha... power... I finally got it again..." Dales laughed up to the sky, and his laughter echoed in the empty desert, full of madness and pride. He felt that his power was infinitely expanding, as if he could tear the sky and conquer the universe.

After some of the spirit tree fruits were eaten, the spirit tree continued to absorb nutrients from other places to supplement its growth. With Dales and his men as the center, all life within 50 kilometers was sucked dry, becoming a new desert.
