CHAPTER 1639: CHAPTER 1580: STAR SEA WORLD - TREE OF LIFE!

The sudden self-destruction of the Pseudo-Emperor Peak Realm expert caught the various Human Strong Ones off guard. War General Tuo Tun, Long Xin, and the Qingmu Patriarch immediately retreated violently backward.

"Open for me!"

Qingmu Patriarch shouted, and the bronze coffin in his hand suddenly expanded, covering one section of the sky, simultaneously shielding Tuo Tun and Long Xin behind the gigantic coffin.

Clang!

A breathtaking metallic sound exploded, causing the starry sky to tremble. The body of Qingmu Patriarch was blown away horizontally, sweeping the giant coffin along, and both Tuo Tun and Long Xin were sent flying back.

The sudden change also made the Spirit Clan Lord pause momentarily but immediately reacted, gazing across the starry sky towards the flame-engulfed Spirit Realm. Even though outside the starry sky, the sound of a violent slaughter still reverberated.

It was countless Spirit Clan people wailing silently, foreshadowing rivers of blood to flow.

Not only that, the starry sky battle affected hundreds of ancient big stars as they exploded, burning with raging flames, with a significant portion plummeting towards the Spirit Realm, breaching the World Barrier, and erupting on the Spirit Realm’s land, rolling flames and thick smoke piercing through the void!

With an indescribable pain in his eyes, the Spirit Clan Lord let out a long howl to the sky, with each breath, his once vibrant black hair turned white, and his clear eyes filled with blood red!

"In this life, I vow to kill the Human Race, kill! Kill! Kill!"

The turbulent energy swept the ferocity in the starry sky, as the Spirit Clan Lord, with all his blood energy surging, directly shattered the starry sky, breaking through a path into an unknown dark passage.

"Kill!"

Almost simultaneously, Han Shan, wielding a giant axe, also entered this unknown passage, as two terrifying energies collided in the passage, causing the entire passage to explode instantly!

Forced to halt his steps, Tuo Tun and Long Xin, who intended to pursue, were stopped!

"The Spirit Clan Lord has already been severely injured; Han Shan alone is enough to bring him back. Let’s first eliminate the Spirit Clan!" Following a shout, it was none other than King of Tombs.

"Find the world’s source of the Spirit Realm!"

Rumble! Rumble!

Atop the starry sky, Tuo Tun made a move once more at this moment, summoning an ancient big star to fall towards the unaffected areas of the Spirit Realm.

The Spirit Realm is naturally vast and boundless. Even though countless Human War Masters have been sent in, in comparison to the Spirit Realm’s billions of people, the numbers are not even proportionate, but these Spirit Clan people are scattered across the entire Spirit Realm unevenly.

This is why the Human War Masters have not completely spread across the Spirit Realm in such a short time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One by one, ancient big stars pierced through the World Barrier, crashing into the unaffected areas of the Spirit Realm, causing landslides and ground rumbles, flames surging like tides.

Having lost their Peak Realm expert, the Spirit Clan is like meat on the chopping block, although resisting, the outcome is inevitable.

Several Peak Realm experts on the Human side have suffered various degrees of injuries, especially Qingmu Patriarch, Bai Zhan, Gu Yang, and others, who returned directly to the Human Realm. The remaining Tuo Tun, Emperor Teacher, and King of Tombs continued to station in the Spirit Realm, defending against possible crises.

Although this cross-world campaign against the Spirit Clan was initially a spontaneous act, being cautious is never wrong. The Human War Masters continue their slaughter across the Spirit Realm with smoke and fire, while in the rear, the Human warriors prepared on the Human World earth have already begun to step into the Spirit Realm, plundering all resources clean just as they did in the Scorpion Realm before!

Compared to the earlier Scorpion Realm, the Spirit Realm is even more thoroughly destroyed; some originally deeply buried mine veins have been unearthed in the rampant destruction.

Countless resources were thus sent back to the Human Realm, and these bloodbone resources, based on the participating tribes, ancient clans, and warriors, a portion will be distributed as rewards to each tribe and clan.

Ten days later, only the edges of the world still echo with the sound of slaughter and explosion in the Spirit Realm, and these sounds are continuously weakening, clearly showing that the last resistance is also heading towards extinction.

However, Han Shan, who went to pursue the Spirit Clan Lord, has still not returned. On the twelfth day, the broken void of the Spirit Realm was pierced, and a violent energy surged out.

The body, like a mountain, covered in dried blood scabs, Han Shan returned, wielding his giant axe and clutching a headless corpse.

He then threw the corpse to the King of Tombs, collapsing onto the ground and immediately falling asleep.

In mid-air, the King of Tombs blasted the headless corpse, and a world crystal exuding a radiant glow appeared. Though only fist-sized, the aura it emitted was denser than the world source of the Scorpion Realm previously.

Upon seeing the intact source of the world, the Tomb King finally felt at ease. This world crystal was the most important trophy in the attack on the Spirit Realm, something that Xiao Chen had specifically instructed them to obtain.

Although the Tomb King didn’t know why Xiao Chen needed the world crystal, he didn’t ask. He simply needed to fulfill his duty!

A month later, the flames of war across the entire Spirit Realm were completely extinguished. Countless expansive mountains and rivers had shed blood, the Earth was in ruins, and countless bones, together with flames, turned to scorched earth while the entire world was shrouded in a faint blood mist, swept by eerie winds and shadows.

By the time the last battalion of Human Race Warriors escorted the fallen Human War Soldiers’ bones back to the Human Realm, the Cross-Border Array was withdrawn. This broken world, once its essence was refined, would soon vanish completely into the vast heavens and earth.

...

In the central lands of the Human Realm, within the Human Dao Royal Domain.

A figure in a black robe stepped into the Human Dao Royal Domain. It was the Emperor’s Master, the Tomb King. It had been three months since the Spirit Realm’s demise, and he naturally came to deliver the Spirit Realm’s world source to Xiao Chen in the central lands.

The reason he personally came was to inquire about Xiao Chen’s next course of action. As for the previous conquest, the War Masters had suffered significant losses, with over half in casualties, which meant that the War Masters were entering a period of recuperation.

Entering the Azure Blood Palace, he was informed by Tiantai Xuan that Xiao Chen was still in seclusion. He handed over the Spirit Realm essence to Tiantai Xuan, who then took it into the Mountain and River Seal World to Luli for refinement.

At the Azure Blood Palace, the TianQue where Xiao Chen originally secluded himself was enveloped by a faint energy, making it impossible for outsiders to investigate.

Deep within the TianQue, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in a spiritual pond, bare-chested, with bulging muscles like undulating chasms of a Divine Mountain. Occasionally, a divine light flickered by.

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, his mind fully immersed in his own world.

The world that was once ravaged by dragon energy had gradually calmed down, and the Star Sea World’s area steadily settled at eight million square units.

This was a three-dimensional space with a length, width, and height of eight million square units, not just a single piece of land like other emperors.

The Life Continent, where the Tree of Life resided, was the largest piece, spanning a million miles. It was recognized by Xiao Chen as the Main Continent, where the Tree of Life had grown into a towering Divine Tree.

Outside the Life Continent, there were 108 continents, each with an area of 108,000 miles square. The starry sky had 360 stars, each with a diameter ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles, and smaller meteorites were countless.

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly small number; this was the limit of Xiao Chen’s current Star Sea World. After all, something called a continent couldn’t just be a mere three to five thousand miles; this was the result of his meticulous consideration!

This maximized the power and stability of the Star Sea World given its size, ensuring that as the world expands later, the size and number of stars and continents would naturally increase.

Thus, with the Life Continent as the world’s center, a towering ancient tree hidden with countless branches deep into the space-time, surrounded by stars and continents, as if fruits born from the towering ancient tree.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen also sensed his own limit, which was the restriction of heaven and earth; for if he expanded further, he would either break through directly or face destruction.

He could even feel that his power had reached a certain peak.

This was a limit beyond where he could shatter the shackles of heaven without relying on the Divine Emperor of fortune, using only his own strength, rather than exerting every effort to seize fortune and devour Dragon Emperor’s blood energy to temporarily increase his combat power.

This was an ultimate limit!

If combined with the Divine Emperor of fortune, his combat power might not see heaven-defying surges, but if pitted against the Golden Dragon Emperor, he would be capable of resisting right from the start!

The Golden Dragon Emperor was a Peak Realm Expert of late-mid Emperor Dao Suppression, capable of eliminating early-stage Emperor Dao experts.

Back in the Guan Tian Pavilion, the East Emperor had him accumulate strength and improve his foundation, aiming to increase his realm while advancing to true godhood.

Although the world was once again consolidated, Xiao Chen had no intention of waking up. His will spanned this vast world, like a deity overlooking the entire space-time.

Sadly, despite the world being rich with vitality, apart from flora, there were no living creatures. The original birds and beasts in the previous world had perished alongside the world’s reconstruction.

The deity overlooking space-time, Xiao Chen gazed upon the ancient Life Tree, a life that resided in this world since it was weak, growing immeasurably with his advancement.

During the previous world reconstruction, besides the extinction of birds and beasts that sprang from the Tree of Life, even the Tree of Life itself underwent changes. The Radiant Glow clusters originally suspended on it were absorbed and refined by the Tree of Life itself, transforming into new branches probing into the endless, illusory space-time.

In fact, a substantial portion of the Golden Dragon’s blood bone refined by Xiao Chen had been absorbed by the Tree of Life. The blood of an Emperor Dao expert, every drop, offered unimaginable opportunities for ordinary Warriors.

Let alone that the Tree of Life absorbed quite a bit. Otherwise, how could a single ancient tree cover nearly half a continent? As the master of this world, he could sense the Tree of Life’s thirst for the Dragon Emperor’s blood bone.
