Chapter 897 - 501: Malice from the Origin of the World

At this instant, a crisp sound of a seed cracking echoed, heard by everyone in the cosmic starry sky, as if it rang within their hearts.

Then, a tender green sprout emerged from the black seed, and within moments, it continuously absorbed the vast life force of the entire planet.

Whether it was the magma from the Earth’s core or the volcanoes about to erupt, they all fell into a state of deathly silence.

All plants on the ground withered, rivers broke and dried up, and all life perished.

This seed merely sprouted, yet it already displayed such terrifying divine might, much like a Divine Spirit controlling the life and death of the entire planet.

Its birth sacrificed the life of the entire planet.

Meanwhile, that Seven-Colored Divine Light gradually evolved, eventually returning to tranquility.

The seven-colored divine light fused, transforming into a color akin to Chaos.

Chaotic currents began to surge from the core, enveloping the entire cracked earth like a spider web, permeating the entire planet.

It was like an invisible magnetic field, replacing the planet’s core will.

With the newly birthed tender green sprout at its center, a new Power of Origin was formed — this was the World Tree!

"The World Tree Seedling, truly flourishing!"

At this time, not only Zheng Yi, but also the powers gathered here to hunt the Chaos Spirit Root, including outsiders, were none of them weak.

Among them were those who were widely experienced, and at first glance, someone called out the name of this Chaos Spirit Root — World Tree.

It sounds grand, but in truth, it’s far from matching the top thirty legendary Chaos Spirit Roots.

Because the top thirty Chaos Spirit Roots are singular entities, possibly only existing as one in the entire Cosmic Sea.

Once one perishes, it takes countless years before another might coincidentally be born.

For instance, the legendary Immortal Peach Tree can forcibly extend life by three thousand years, regardless of cultivation level or lifespan.

Also, the legendary Ginseng Fruit and Yellow Bell Plum are the same.

In addition, the Six Roots Pure Bamboo can resist the Heart Demon and maintain the Dao Heart, Chaos Cyan Lotus, Destructive Black Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus — which of them isn’t renowned? Each Chaos Spirit Root represents a source of special rules.

Whereas the World Tree is the ordinary type of Chaos Spirit Root.

In other words, it doesn’t possess uniqueness, but because it lacks uniqueness, it’s easier for people to control.

Each World Tree is born from the extinction of a planet, absorbing the Power of Origin of the entire planet, evolving into its unique Power of the World.

This is the essence of the World Tree!

Legend has it that a top-tier Great Power constructed an Eternal Divine Kingdom with a World Tree, hanging in the Cosmic Sea for thirty million years without falling.

Thus, the overbearing nature of this origin tree species is evident.

And for Void Realm beings like Saint Yuan Daoist, Elder White Deer, and the Master of the Sea of Blood, this World Tree is even more precious.

Because as everyone knows, Chaos tree species like the World Tree and Jian wood are best suited for constructing an inner Grotto Heaven.

So, in an instant, the sky and earth collapsed, and the intense battles surrounding the abandoned planet completely overturned the tables without any forewarning.

Amid terrifying fluctuations, the Blood Sea overturned, and thousands of Demon Sabers and Demon Soldiers filled the sky.

One by one, Blood God Children emerged from the Blood Sea, suddenly attaching to many other powerful beings.

Those people didn’t even have time to suppress the demonic nature within them, only feeling their blood boiling.

In an instant, a roar was corrupted by demonic blood, leading to a frenzied roar! Each grew sharp fangs and blood-red eyes, while giant blood-red wings sprouted from their backs — Blood Demon possessed!

The first to act was none other than the Master of the Sea of Blood!

"A fiend remains a fiend, never forgetting its nature even in such times."

Saint Yuan Daoist of the Holy Origin Sect sneered, pointing with a finger. There was a rumble, and with one sword, the Celestial Gate opened, as if heaven and earth were splitting apart.

Then, a massive Pure Yang Sword Sea suddenly descended, Sword Qi like the sea, Pure Yang like the sun, with a maddeningly scorching aura as if the sun had descended.

Wherever the myriad Divine Swords passed, everything turned to ashes.

And Elder White Deer of the Heaven-Facing Sect, with a calm gaze, surveyed the surroundings, extending an aged hand to pat the head of the White Deer beneath, lightly chanting, "Deer, it’s up to you now."

The White Deer softly chimed in response, and then its hoof stepped forward, causing the entire Void Realm Heaven and Earth to reverse, forming waves upon the star river.

Countless waves rapidly proliferated, forming huge Eight Trigrams Array Maps in no time.

The vast Eight Trigrams evolved, Life Gate and Death Gate alternated.

In an instant, numerous outsiders were trapped inside, unable to escape.

And those attempting to forcibly break the Eight Trigrams restriction were not spared, falling into the Death Gate and instantly turning to dust, vanishing.

Events came too suddenly; when the three giants discovered the Chaos Spirit Root was the once-in-a-lifetime World Tree Seedling, they simultaneously acted.

And they tacitly refrained from attacking one another, opting instead for a grand clearing.

All those deemed a threat, or not belonging to their own faction, fell into a quagmire.

At the lightest, trapped in the Void Realm Eight Trigrams, at the worst, plunged into Blood Sea, becoming Blood Sea Puppets.

"What a means, this Master of the Sea of Blood truly has a significant killing intent."
