Chapter 510: Chapter 510 Intense
The Golden Tree, the abode of the sun, where gods slumber alongside mythological origins, it holds immense opportunities to seize the fortunes of heaven and earth.
Everyone moved simultaneously, rushing forward, Xuan Ming, Bi Gu, Lan Yu, and Hong Huang also brought out their treasures, creating a moment where light overflowed and everyone advanced together.
“Buzz”
Suddenly, an inexplicable aura erupted, so sudden and fierce, space twisted, and a blood-colored root, like a True Dragon, plunged down.
“Pop,” a genius from the higher realms could hardly believe it, his temple was pierced through, blood spurted high, and until death, his face was full of shock.
This was too sudden; a blood-colored root was even sharper than a Divine Spear, shimmering with a red luster as it struck across the sky, striking a young powerhouse from the higher realms.
It was the Ironblood Ancient Tree, rising from the magma, striking unexpectedly, with a Magic Wand as its shield, unafraid of the scorching heat.
The corpse withered, its essence completely absorbed by the tree, and then turned to ashes here, both form and spirit destroyed.
“You… how dare you!” The group from the higher realms was furious, they had not provoked trouble, and did not expect to be attacked, when, momentarily after, they all turned around, seeking revenge for their fallen comrade.
With a boom, waves of magma swept over, the red sea boiled, and a group of Venerables appeared, attacking together in sync, aiming their strikes at these talents.
Apart from the few who had entered earlier, the other Venerables coordinated silently and coldly, without a word, they lashed out at Lan Yu, Shui Yue, Shi Hao, and the others, their assault was fierce.
“How dare you!” Zhao Qi roared; he was hit by several beams of light in an instant, and if not for a treasure that intervened at the critical moment, he certainly would have perished.
“Break through!” Lan Yu commanded sharply.
The situation was extremely dire; they were cut off front and back, surrounded by the Nine-Headed Snake, the golden giants, Silver Lions, and other Venerables, the predicament was truly critical.
“Boom!”
Natural laws unleashed en masse, light showers like waterfalls, the area boiled over, waves of magma surged to the sky, the atmosphere teeming with the intent to kill.
No one expected the war to come so swiftly; before they could truly ascend the Sun Ancient Tree, they were surrounded and hunted.
A Five-Colored Deer made its move, Divine Radiance flying out, a Treasured Artifact—a pair of antlers—glowing with myriad colors, suddenly appearing right before Shi Hao with immense power.
“Cling”
A trembling sound rang as Shi Hao’s hands glowed, unleashing Heaven-reaching Sword Qi, chopping at the antlers, diverting their trajectory into the Magma Sea.
Relatively speaking, since he did not emit the aura of a Venerable, the attacks he faced were not strong, and many did not see eliminating him as their primary goal.
“Roar!”
A Divine Beast roared, its body luminous with a blue hue, sweeping across armies, striking at everyone.
“What is this, a Blue Dragon?!” Even the talents from the higher realms were startled, this creature was too powerful.
Its entire body was azure, emitting potent Divine Power, resembling a lizard but with a dragon’s head and a pair of wings on its back, diving down, spewing blue light.
This was a mass attack; atop the dragon’s head floated a Treasured Artifact, a Bronze Bell which tolled melodiously, enhancing its precious symbol, shockingly amplifying its power by several times!
“Boom!”
The place erupted into chaos, many were attacked, each countering in response.
Symbols intertwined, laws densely filled the area, other Venerables were also making moves, besieging these young strong ones from the higher realms.
Zhuo Yun’s body shook, quickly dodging; several symbols pierced his protective divine light, and had it not been for a treasure blossoming a green lotus at the last moment, he would have been in grave danger.
The Blue Dragon pressed on with difficulty, its Bronze Bell descending and uniting with its symbol, rushing forward suddenly, and “puh,” a person next to Zhuo Yun was shattered, blood spraying high.
Zhuo Yun screamed, blood splashing onto his protective treasure, vividly red, which made his complexion turn unpleasant, narrowly avoiding being the one to fall.
“That Bronze Bell is an extremely powerful Divine Artifact, be careful, everyone!” Shui Yue warned, her body flashing with silvery-white radiance, graceful and lively.
There was no need for her reminder, everyone could see that the Bronze Bell was extraordinary, incredibly astounding, capable of exponentially enhancing the power of symbols, it would be considered a Rare Secret Treasure even in the higher realms.
“Cut down all of them, these beings from outside, don’t leave a single one alive!” a Silver Lion declared.
Clearly, they had reached a consensus, realizing that these young individuals came from beyond their world, they joined forces to attack and vowed to eliminate all outsiders first.
Golden flames burned, two Golden Crow cultivators appeared, controlling the magma, suppressing these young talents from the higher realms.
Even if the Golden Crow Clan was dissatisfied, unwilling for others to come here, they set aside their grievances for the time being, united against the outsiders, determined to kill this group of strong beings from another world.
Shi Hao made his move, a Vermilion Bird materializing in his palm, which then drew the magma, causing large waves that reversed their course, sweeping towards the group of Venerables from the Primeval Treasure Realm.
An intense battle erupted!
“Aooo…”
The Nine-Headed Snake roared, its nine heads blazed brilliantly, spewing Divine Radiance covering the sky, engulfing everything before it, crushing all in its path.
The most terrifying aspect was that it activated a nine-colored Divine Halo, truly overwhelming in power, invincible. It was a Treasured Artifact consecrated by a Divine Spirit, causing many to retreat from its shock waves.
It was definitely one of the strongest Venerables in this realm, its power fearsome.
Elsewhere, a Purple-gold Ant displayed immense strength, breaking through numerous defenses effortlessly, indomitable. Born with Divine Power, it repelled several other young geniuses.
Bi Gu sneered, “Are any of you still holding back? If we continue like this, we’ll all die here!”
He knew full well that some indeed faced peril under this collective attack, while others unquestionably had yet to employ their true capabilities, having held back all along.
“Xuan Ming, please make your move, lead us into the Sun Ancient Tree!” Hong Huang shouted.
Xuan Ming’s palm flashed with rosy light, and a stone arch bridge emerged, delicate and translucent. It rapidly expanded in a flash, piercing through the void and entering the area of the Primordial Divine Tree.
“Go!”
A group of people crossed the bridge and instantly broke out.
“Pursue!” the Venerable Ones from the Primeval Treasure Realm shouted, chasing after them.
As they approached the golden tree, all their figures turned to dust and fell in front of its roots, creating a very eerie scene.
The golden tree seemed only a foot tall, but when one drew near, they became countless times smaller than it.
As Shi Hao mounted the stone arch bridge, he was squeezed to the back. There was a certain tacit understanding among the group; after all, they all came from the higher realms and trusted each other more.
From behind, roars sounded as the Nine-Headed Snake, Blue Dragon, and the giant golden giant all bellowed and almost caught up, their speeds incredibly fast.
“Block them!” Zhao Qi shouted loudly, glancing at Shi Hao who was at the rear with a somewhat icy gaze, reluctant to bring this youth from the Lower Realm with them.
“You have to contribute too!” Zhuo Yun whispered. He was very close to Shi Hao and made a secretive move, blocking Shi Hao’s path, forcing him to take up the rear.
With so many Venerable Ones in pursuit, being caught while at the back was definitely dangerous.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Shi Hao was calm and composed, closely following Zhuo Yun.
Zhuo Yun revealed a hint of shock, unable to block the other, his eyes turned even colder, and without saying any more, he sped towards the front.
After crossing the stone arch bridge, Xuan Ming retracted it, and they were met with a towering, heavenly tree in front of them, completely golden, soaring into the Yunxiao.
“It’s incredible!” Even at such a critical moment, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim.
The tree’s presence was world-shaking, with the shimmer of dawn dancing around it, surrounded by swathes of the Star River, and each leaf cradling a Star, almost like a World Tree.
“It’s not a real Star; it’s still nurturing, but… it’s astonishing!” Lan Yu exclaimed.
However, now was not the time to be impressed; everyone quickly rushed forward as their pursuers nearly reached them.
“Cut them off!” someone from behind shouted.
For, at the very forefront, there were several figures, Venerable Ones who had entered earlier and now turned around upon hearing the command, returning to counter-attack after receiving a transmission.
“You natives!” Xuan Ming was both shocked and angry. If it were just a few people that would be one thing, but a group of powerful beings could overwhelm them.
“Little fish from the outside, come in and don’t even think about leaving!” the Ironblood Ancient Tree spoke, its voice thundering.
“Ascend the Sun Ancient Tree, rush into the Chaos Ancient Hall atop its crown, and seize the heaven-defying opportunity; race them for speed!” Lan Yu said.
The group veered to avoid conflict and charged towards the golden tree, which was extremely tall, and as they couldn’t fly here, they had only leaping and running as their options.
Additionally, the stone arch bridge in Xuan Ming’s hand was a significant aid, allowing them to continually break through and approach the Divine Tree.
“Boom!”
However, when they truly touched the golden giant tree, they all encountered trouble, flipped over, and pushed away, unable to get close.
“Not good, there’s a prohibition!” Bi Gu’s complexion darkened, sensing something bad.
Those Venerable Ones behind them were also startled, finding it difficult to ascend the tree, all blocked by a layer of golden light.
“This tree is extraordinary, look, it’s nurturing a Star River, with every leaf holding up a Star, clearly manifesting the power of a major world; it requires a minor world as a catalyst to unlock it,” one of the Venerable Ones said.
Simultaneously, figures like Lan Yu and Xuan Ming also guessed the outcome, all changing their expressions.
A minor world is precious but not unfindable, but who would carry one on them?
“I have a broken one here…” the girl named Yingying spoke up, taking out a sparkling stone, but it was slightly cracked.
A thought stirred in Shi Hao’s heart; he also had one in his possession, the World’s Treasure Box, a minor world sealed in bronze.
“Gentlemen, let me assist you,” Shi Hao offered, taking it out.
Seeing this, everyone was astonished and then delighted. Although many had been reluctant to bring him along for the passage, he became their greatest reliance.
They acted quickly, swiftly stirring the power of the minor world, and as the void collapsed, everyone rushed into the golden light screen.
Those Venerable Ones behind promptly followed, very fast, also wanting to use this passage to ascend the Sun Ancient Tree.
“Not good, they’re catching up!” Hong Huang cried out.
“Put away the treasure box!” Xuan Ming bellowed.
At that moment, Shi Hao was shocked; someone among the higher realm talents was secretly trying to snatch his treasure box, and others attacked him from the dark, intending to knock him down.
Shi Hao scoffed coldly, sweeping his eyes over those few people without revealing their ploy, deliberately staying behind and letting a group of Venerable Ones into the golden light screen.
Then, pretending to be struck, he fell down, plunging into the red Magma Sea.
“Who is attacking?” one of the noblewomen exclaimed, looking around at her companions; it felt a bit like killing the donkey after grinding the corn, too unscrupulous.
“Let’s go, there’s no time!” someone shouted, hastening towards the golden tree above; the ancient tree was too tall, they didn’t know how many days it would take to climb.
Shi Hao intentionally fell because he noticed that the roots of the Golden Ancient Tree were all Earthflame Liquid, vast and endless, forming lakes and seas here.
“Plop!”
He fell into the red golden liquid with a groan; the sensation was too comfortable, all the pores in his body opened, and the Supreme Bone in his chest revived at once, greedily absorbing the essence.
“Hmm, there seems to be Spiritual Liquid at the roots of the golden giant, with even richer Divine Power,” Shi Hao felt after a careful inspection, heart pounding and excited, he dived deeper down.
