Chapter 1137: Chapter 1119: The Azure King Appears, Bloodshed on the Frontier!

The advancement of a Divine Tree is not the same as that of a warrior. In fact, Xiao Chen himself did not have full understanding. In the era of the Desolate Wilds’ Gods, if all things in the world received creation’s favor, they could become gods. Ancient mountains nurtured mountain gods, while the essences of plants and trees nurtured the gods of Spiritual Wood, and the expanses of lakes and marshes gave rise to water spirits.

Not to mention those deities born innately, but in this current age, with the silence of the gods, the divine traces that remained were hard to find, and whether a Divine Tree transforming into a spirit meant becoming a god or something else was difficult to distinguish, because since ancient times, there had been few Divine Trees that fashioned kings.

After concluding his closed-door cultivation in the Eastern Emperor Domain, Xiao Chen, utilizing the Void Teleportation Array, once again set foot on his own sovereign land. The moment his feet touched the earth, the entire Border Wasteland Vein seemed to pulse and transmit to his body.

Although it was only a matter of months, the feeling of familiarity and strangeness Xiao Chen experienced was profound; it took him dozens of breaths before he could once again assimilate this piece of earth into his domain.

...

In the Gu Yuan Tribe, the blessings from the forging of the God King by Xiao Chen still hadn’t ended. A light Purple Qi fell, shrouding the entire Tribe City within a misty ocean.

Underneath the towering Jian Mu, the bronze-colored city walls shimmered with a metallic hue through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Now, the tribe people of the Gu Yuan Tribe not only lived in the Bronze Ancient City but had also opened up wooden estates and dwellings atop the entire Jian Mu, with even children climbing up and down the trunk.

On top of the massive Ancient Tree, which was as huge as a mountain, a green figure sat cross-legged, with specks of sunlight filtering through the numerous gaps and glittering upon him. It had been a full half-month since Xiao Chen returned to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Deep within the Jian Mu Divine Tree, there was a golden expanse where one of Xiao Chen’s thoughts materialized. Opposite him was the spirit of Jian Mu, now possessing a name and self-identifying as Gu Ling.

"Refining your wooden body with the King Blood Hammer of the Golden Winged Dapeng Clan, as long as you can protect the life force of the Spiritual Wood from death during the heavenly tribulation, once you break through the shackles, you will be able to rejuvenate," conveyed Xiao Chen’s thought to Gu Ling. Over the past half month, Xiao Chen injected the King Blood from the Golden Winged Dapeng King into Jian Mu, aiding in its refinement.

On the day he stunned the Golden Peng King to death and obtained its blood and bones to cast the stars of fortune, he hadn’t entirely exhausted them. A small part remained, which he had all infused into the body of Jian Mu.

Moreover, there was the Undying Martial Soul of the Golden Peng Demon King. Although Luli had killed it, the Soul Power of the Undying Martial Soul had not dissolved.

Hum!

A pure gold Soul Power appeared in Xiao Chen’s hands, akin to a spring, bereft of sentience but still emanating an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

The reason it was known as an Undying Martial Soul was that, apart from being directly shattered by Supreme Great Power, it could only slowly erode away with passing time.

The next moment, Xiao Chen merged the Undying Soul Power with Gu Ling’s soul body.

Chirp!

A piercing cry rang out as Gu Ling’s eyes burst forth with brilliant starlight. Its golden body directly crashed into the gold Soul Power and was engulfed in an instant, trapped as though in a swamp, unable to break free no matter how it struggled.

Absorbing the Undying Soul Power, even Xiao Chen was unable to assist at this moment. Just a few breaths later, Gu Ling’s figure was wrapped by the golden Soul Body, forming an enormous golden egg, waiting to be reborn from its shell.

Humming vibrations!

Above the Gu Yuan Tribe, the entire Jian Mu shook wildly. The Purple Qi that had been hanging down was thoroughly disrupted, the Space Wall Barriers in midair rippling with spatial waves.

Fortunately, the tribe people of the Gu Yuan Tribe had left the trunk of Jian Mu upon Xiao Chen’s command. The divine radiance tearing through the sky was terrifying, like a hurricane sweeping through, engulfing the Ancient Tree, causing leaves and branches to wildly dance.

The next day, the towering Jian Mu did not cease its tremors. The main trunk of the entire Jian Mu began to shake violently, and the mighty pressure tore apart the void for a hundred miles around, creating rifts one after another.

Three days later, the spatial rupture expanded to a thousand miles around, the void inch by inch shattered by the power emanating from Jian Mu.

Five days later, Jian Mu finally stopped its tumult. The radiant light that filled the sky began to dim, the glow once emitted from the branches and leaves started to retract inward, and an aura of decay emerged.

Ten days later, the Jian Mu, which once soared tens of thousands of feet and covered hundreds of miles, had now withered to less than fifty miles. The trunk, once gleaming with a golden luster, had become wrinkled like ancient wood’s bark, yet this wilting continued to spread towards the trunk of Jian Mu.

...

"The growth of a Divine Tree is like the cultivation of martial arts; to undergo transformation, it must face this test. As long as Gu Ling can assimilate that Undying Soul Power into its body, there is a great chance it will survive the upcoming heavenly tribulation and advance to a King level Wood, perhaps even developing a body," Xiao Chen commented as he stood in the Blue Stone Garden, his gaze sweeping through the void, looking at the constantly withering branches of Jian Mu.

Behind him, Mu Qing and Nianhua sat on Jade Chairs with Spirit Fruits and vegetables in front of them, but their thoughts were clearly elsewhere.

"My lord, there is no need to worry for the two of us. With many tribe people by our side, even if the little life in our womb is born, there will be no danger. You can proceed to retreat and break through to King level without concern," said Mu Qing abruptly. Xiao Chen had returned to the tribe for almost a month. Besides assisting Jian Mu for the first half month, he had spent most of his time with the two women over the past ten or so days.

Xiao Chen’s thoughts were all too evident to his companions; his delay in retreating was due to the little lives within the two women’s wombs.

Because they were about to be born, Xiao Chen feared that after entering seclusion, it would be difficult for him to emerge from it in a short time, or that other circumstances would prevent him from witnessing the birth of the child in the womb.

Before the King’s life-and-death trial, even Xiao Chen could not avoid it, not to mention that he now had concerns in his heart that he could not let go.

"Now that my husband is renowned throughout the cosmos, the Hundred Clans of Heaven watch over him like tigers eyeing their prey. The stronger my husband’s power, the safer our mother and child will be. Besides, we martial artists, even in childbirth, are not as frail as one might imagine," Nianhua echoed in agreement.

"Since that’s the case, you two will enter the Mountain and River Seal Small World to recuperate and wait for the birth of the child," Xiao Chen said.

A few breaths later, a resolute light flashed through Xiao Chen’s eyes, as if he had made up his mind. This time, he annihilated the Taboo of the Holy Race and defied the heavens to slay the demon king, garnering fame across All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, but it also brought a great crisis upon him.

In fact, over the past month, beyond the Border Wasteland Region, the Boundless Void had been constantly shimmering with the presence of mighty beings from other races, their intentions quite obvious.

For the Hundred Clans of Heaven, Xiao Chen’s existence had already become the biggest variable.

On the twentieth day, the once sky-covering and life-bursting Jian Mu Divine Tree was left with only a foliage canopy of less than five miles in circumference, and branches as thick as a hundred Zhang visibly withered and crumbled at the speed visible to the naked eye. Now, only the towering main trunk remained, with a trace of life energy diffusing, while all other branches and leaves exuded a thick Death Qi.

On the twenty-fifth day, only a small canopy of several dozen Zhang in circumference remained around the trunk of Jian Mu. The Bronze Ancient City, which had been concealed by the Jian Mu, was once again bathed in the sunlight from the all-encompassing sky.

Xiao Chen stood atop the bronze tower in the center of the Tribe City, looking at the Jian Mu, which now resembled dead wood, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. The King level was difficult to advance, and the Jian Mu had not yet induced the heavenly tribulation before it had already become like this.

Mu Qing and Nianhua had already entered the Mountain and River Seal Small World. Many of the tribe’s major affairs had been entrusted to the elders. Xiao Chen was preparing to begin his seclusion, to infuse his spirit with the laws.

However, someone did not wish to let him enter seclusion so peacefully.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion resonated across the Border Wasteland, as dazzling Divine Radiance momentarily eclipsed the sunlight, illuminating the entire region.

Majestic authority descended from the Sky Vault!

Crack!

A space rift spanning a million miles split the Border Wasteland Sky in two.

At this moment, the Tribe People on the Border Wasteland changed color, their energy as if collapsing the nine heavens and ten earths, the entire sky seemingly falling down!

"The sky is falling!"

Terrified screams rose from the Border Wasteland!

The next moment, from within the gigantic rift, blue waters transformed into a Great River and surged down from the Boundless Void.

The resplendent water sparkled brilliantly, with TianQue subsiding on its surface; various Exotic Beasts from the water manifested. Dragons roared, shaking the heavens with boundless killing intent, showering down from the Void, heading towards the Gu Yuan Tribe!

The entire Sky Vault was painted blue, crystal clear as jade. It was an utmost beauty, but for the entire Border Wasteland, especially the tribes near the Gu Yuan Tribe, it was an aura that foretold the destruction of everything.

"Azure King."

Xiao Chen’s eyes were electric, shooting through the long sky, staring at the Great River washing down from above. Killing intent sprayed forth!

This aura he would naturally not forget; on that day, a cross-world strike from the Beast Underworld almost cost him his life. This time, it aimed to annihilate his tribe.

Kill!

The sound of martial killing echoed throughout the Border Wasteland as a streak of green light shot straight into the Void from the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"Lord Marquis!"

The green light shot into the Void, confronting the heavenly river, witnessed by countless warriors of the Border Wasteland.

The Mountain River Seal radiated a clear glow, driven to its extreme by Xiao Chen, as lands stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with the sun, moon, and stars rotating, manifesting an ancient Starry Sky.

At this moment, warriors across the lands witnessed an incredibly vast scene, with an ancient Starry Sky above, and the sun and moon sprinkling light over ten thousand miles of Mountains and Rivers, blocking the surging Great River pouring down from the Sky Vault.

Boom!

A boundless Divine Radiance engulfed the entire Border Wasteland Sky, as if stars were exploding, tearing the Vacuum, creating a tremendous pale wave across the Sky.

Over the Border Wasteland, it was as if a hurricane had passed, ancient trees uprooted, mountains collapsed into ruins, the Earth cracked by the splashing water light, with underground Magma bubbling out, countless humans bleeding, a scene of world-ending destruction.
