CHAPTER 820: CHAPTER 213: TREASURE

The Wood Demon Ancestor remained silent.

He guarded the Demon Country and naturally knew what happened that day.

The Divine Emperor took action, causing a dramatic change in the world, and no one could stop it. Xiahou Shou fell on the spot, his Divine Soul directly descending into Reincarnation.

However, he did not see exactly what happened at the time, only noticing that the Divine Emperor had already left heavily injured.

And the Ultimate Divine Artifact could no longer be awakened.

"The Ultimate Divine Artifact of the Ancient Master has been in slumber, and even the Heavenly Demon Ancestor has tried multiple times but could not awaken it."

Xiahou Shou transmitted a Divine Thought: "But just now, the token left behind by my true body suddenly sensed something, and I discovered that the Ultimate Divine Artifact of the Ancient Master had unexpectedly awoken."

The Wood Demon Ancestor transmitted back with doubt: "This Human King Xia can actually awaken the Ultimate Divine Artifact of the Ancient Master?"

"Unclear, but the Ultimate Divine Artifact is still within the Human Ancestor and has been collected by him."

Xiahou Shou transmitted: "We must not let him escape. If he attains Proving and Transcending with such terrifying strength before proving, our Demon Clan will surely face endless calamities."

"No need to worry, the Clan Suppressing Array has already been activated." The Wood Demon Ancestor transmitted: "The Clan Suppressing Array is based on the World Tree. As long as the World Tree stands, he can’t escape. The Dream Demon Ancestor has already contacted the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, who is on the way and will arrive shortly."

In just a moment of Divine Thought Transmission, Xiahou Shou appeared to be calmly chatting with Lin Yue.

Neither side seemed to be in a hurry.

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

The majestic World Tree slightly trembled, boundless Power of Heaven and Earth surged in, the Clan Suppressing Array covering the whole Demon Country fully activated, and radiant beams shot up, unleashing immense power in an instant.

Lin Yue’s eyes grew cold as he tightened his grip on the saber’s hilt.

He knew that the Demon Clan was activating the Clan Suppressing Array within the Demon Country, fearing his escape.

He also knew that escaping before its activation was possible.

But once outside, infiltrating the fully activated array in the Demon Country would be difficult, even the Crown Prince of the Son of the Divine Master level couldn’t force entry into the Demon Country.

And now, within the array is the chance to sever the World Tree!

"Human King Xia, prepare to die!"

The Wood Demon Ancestor extended a hand, and a massive wooden hand formed from a several hundred miles long branch of the World Tree enveloped the sky above Lin Yue.

Darkness descended, and the wooden hand infused with boundless Green Wood Divine Power descended.

The Dream Demon Ancestor watched Lin Yue, turning into an illusory dream shadow, trying to pull his consciousness into a dream.

Xiahou Shou pointed a finger, and an invisible power abruptly appeared, starting to obstruct the flow of time.

Meanwhile, the Demon Gods were leading many demons to stabilize the Clan Suppressing Array, preventing this audacious human from escaping.

In lower-level duels, arrays gathering higher-level Power of Heaven and Earth can play a role in strengthening or weakening, but at this level, no matter how powerful the Power of Heaven and Earth, it’s not comparable to Divine Power, so the array naturally cannot strengthen or weaken.

But as long as an endless Power of Heaven and Earth forms a Trapping Array, it’s enough!

Just like a fish that can swim and breathe even in water but cannot escape the ocean!

"Boom!"

The time in Lin Yue’s location fell into a brief stillness, though only for a moment, it was enough for the giant hand of the World Tree, controlled by the Wood Demon Ancestor, to grasp Lin Yue!

The giant hand of the World Tree grabbed fiercely, condensing the Void under the Green Wood Divine Power, attempting to crush Lin Yue with great power.

Lin Yue was compressed by this tremendous power, then shattered into pieces, dispersing into nothingness.

"Hmm?"

The Wood Demon God was slightly taken aback.

Dead just like that?

Although with his terrifying power in controlling the World Tree, the might was just a level lower than a Son of God like the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, easily crushing a common Divine Son, let alone a Saint.

But...

He saw the attack with which this King Xia had repelled Xiahou Shou, and how could someone capable of such a terrifying attack die so easily?

Xiahou Shou naturally did not believe it either, and immediately turned his hand, producing a wooden staff.

After communicating with the staff through Divine Thought, the staff automatically turned, pointing at a direction.

"He’s there!"

The ripples of time and space swept past, instantly revealing a figure.

It was Lin Yue.

"Oh?"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at the staff in Xiahou Shou’s hand, "The Guidance of All Gods? The Ancient Master really gave Xiahou Shou quite a few good items..."

Green Wood Divine Power gathered with a roar, and one giant hand after another formed from the World Tree’s branches reached for Lin Yue.

"Seems like the Mist Shadow is useless... then... how about this..."

Lin Yue put away the Mist Shadow Cloak and took out a luminous Golden Pearl, swallowing it in one go.

In the next moment, he turned into a dazzling humanoid light. As the World Tree’s giant hands approached, he transformed into a ray of light, moving instantly through the gaps between the giant hands.

"So fast!"

The Wood Demon Ancestor’s expression changed, "The World Tree’s power clearly sealed the space, how did he escape directly?"

Xiahou Shou’s eyes were also grim as he transmitted: "The escaping light he produced approached the speed of light, nearly at the Heavenly Dao limit. Even a Son of God couldn’t be so fast... it seems to be a life-saving treasure named ’Light Transformation’ seen by my true body in the Ancient World. However, he now lacks offensive capability, only able to escape nearly at the Heavenly Dao speed with a light-like Undying Body."

"Such a rare treasure?" The Wood Demon Ancestor was somewhat shocked.

"No matter, among the treasures bestowed by the Ancient Master, there is one specifically to counter Light Transformation."

Xiahou Shou remained calm as he turned his hand, revealing a black cloth. This cloth was pure black, incomparably deep, like an abyss.

Then Xiahou Shou waved the black cloth in his hand, and it immediately turned into fine black threads.

Each thread stretched for thousands, if not tens of thousands of miles, seamlessly integrating into the Void, enmeshing the entire Demon Country, filling it with black lines everywhere for a time.

But these black lines were clearly virtual existences, untouchable by anyone, and didn’t penetrate any objects.

"This is..."

While the Wood Demon Ancestor was still puzzled, he saw the light form of Lin Yue suddenly halt, having only passed through a few black lines. The light’s aura dimmed slightly, as if hurt.

"It really works." Xiahou Shou sneered.

The light form of Lin Yue faded away, returning to his usual form, only with his brows slightly furrowed.

"Night Veil?"

Lin Yue frowned at the black lines, "The Ancient Master really gave Xiahou Shou quite a few treasures..."

He used Light Transformation, a top-tier life-saving item from Ancient Times, near light-speed escape, coupled with a Light and Shadow Undying Body, providing no offensive ability, but even Sons of God might not be able to deal with him.

There are few countermeasures, one being the Night Veil.

The Ancient Master even gave such a treasure to Xiahou Shou?

The Ancient Master valued Xiahou Shou, bestowing life-saving treasures, which is normal, but this isn’t just a mere life-saving item.

Furthermore... within the Human Ancestor might still reside the Ultimate Divine Artifact of the Ancient Master.

—First, it cannot be the Other Shore Heavenly Bell, and since the Ultimate Divine Artifact of Yanfu’s master is still in the Yanfu World, it can only be the Ultimate Divine Artifact of the Ancient Master.

All this gives him a vague feeling... that the Ancient Master seems to be plotting something...

"Even Light Transformation isn’t enough..."

"Then I’ll have to fight head-on, hoping the Taichu Divine Power given to me by the Yanfu Master is enough..."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, a thin layer of white light emerged on his body, along with a black battle attire appearing, and he gripped the Divine Artifact Battle Saber tightly.

The aura of the Divine Artifact spread unreservedly.

Xiahou Shou’s expression changed, "Defensive-type Dominator Divine Artifacts? And two?"
