Chapter 1186: Chapter 1164 Tree of Life The Basis of Imperial Dao!

Shoo!

At this moment, Purple Pupils King found his senses unable to keep up with the speed of Xiao Chen’s moves, as multi-colored divine lights tore the sky and the earth apart, and a figure moving at an extreme speed brushed down from the high sky.

Heavenly divine lights splattered across, causing a giant wave to surge in the space, and the entire star trembled under this intimidating power.

Such was the prowess of this Human King who shook the Hundred Realms!

"This is impossible!"

A low shout came from his throat, and Purple Pupils King’s eyes had already turned into two purple flames but he still couldn’t contain his astonishment.

It had only been a few years since Xiao Chen became famous across the Hundred Realms—a mere moment for kings—but now, he unleashed a power even more formidable than before.

However, during his moment of surprise, thunders echoed across the sky above the Red Lotus Star, bursting forth like divine lights in the barren silence, covering not just the entire massive star but also piercing through the Endless Starry Sky, straight into its depths.

The Heaven-lifting Divine Spear pierced directly through the flame-engulfed Mountain Ranges World, which was King Luo Shan’s Small World—a world of mountains that was now punctured by the divine spear.

Following that, the whole mountain trembled, with the spear hole at the center, dense cracks and web-like patterns spread across the entire Small World.

Immediately after, Xiao Chen stomped down, shattering the mountains of fire, and directly crushed the nearby void and collapsing it, not to mention the Small World, which was directly reverted to its original form.

Boom!

Shattering the mountains, Xiao Chen stomped directly towards the top of King Luo Shan’s head.

Not good!

King Luo Shan was drastically alarmed and could not care less about the world collapsing and the backlash within his body; the foot stepping down from above seemed as though the whole Sky Vault was about to collapse.

Boom!

Facing Xiao Chen’s attack, King Luo Shan, seemingly crazed, constantly threw punches upward towards the high sky to block the falling foot.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suppressing the boiling energy within him, he gathered all his combat strength into his fists, constantly bursting out with tremendous power.

"Fall!"

However, his punching force could not stop Xiao Chen’s descending foot.

Boom!

In an instant, his arms crossed over to face up into the sky.

Boom!

At that moment, the entire starry sky seemed to freeze, his arms horizontally turning into a shield blocking Xiao Chen’s descending foot, divine lights splattered all over, drowning the surrounding space.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Within the divine lights, sounds of bones tightly pressing rang out, King Luo Shan’s eyes blood-red, glaring fiercely at Xiao Chen, but powerless to stop his body from bending.

Clang! Clang! Clang!!

Not only that, Xiao Chen’s descending force directly pressed King Luo Shan from mid-air towards the Earth, creating sparkling Mars in the void, almost instantaneously pressing him from high sky to the surface of the Earth.

Rumble!

Immediately, the surface of the Earth cracked open with ferocious rifts, and lava surged out everywhere.

"Kill!"

Xiao Chen easily broke through his own attacks, and the eyes of King Luo Shan showed humiliation, uttering a killing sound from his throat like a Desolate Fierce Beast.

A surge of black flames directly swept over him, berserk power rolling towards Xiao Chen.

"Subdue!"

In the moment he made his move, Xiao Chen was even faster, nine beams of divine light directly gathering in his foot, with purple thunder floating and a black killing aura forming a roaring black dragon, erupting with peerless majesty, directly rushing downward.

Clang!

The huge sound of impact, like thunder from the nine heavens, transmitted through the Depths of Starry Sky, once again drowning the entire Sky Vault in divine lights.

Plop!

Within the divine lights, a black figure directly flew backwards.

"Luo Shan."

Purple Pupils King exclaimed, everything happened too fast, and although Purple Pupils King wanted to catch King Luo Shan, on touching his body, he too was struck like by a bolt of lightning, and only after cutting through a thousand miles of void did the two stabilize their steps.

The rescued King Luo Shan’s arms drooped down, like rotten flesh without any bones, his face pale, withdrawing a thousand miles with King Blood scattering, but his blood had turned somewhat dim, clearly nearing his end, his King’s power beginning to deplete.

He was merely a peak Fourth Layer King, if he could have broken through to the Fifth Layer, naturally he could attain ten thousand years of longevity, but he had already exhausted all, with no chance of advancement left hence this time when Beast Underworld sealed its realm, he decided to stay.

Because he had no intention of returning to the Beast Underworld.

He was a madman, a madman released by the Beast Underworld to create chaos.

He sought to avenge the Beast Underworld, to kill that person who brought shame upon the Beast Underworld, even if it meant death.

To prove to the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms that the Royal Beast Race was not utterly weak.

Meanwhile, on the other side, leveraging the chaos caused by the battle between Xiao Chen and King Luo Shan, Gu Ling directly entered the depths of Mars.

The part of the star split by Xiao Chen was only a small portion, and the dense craters, even deeper, were interconnected in a complex network; to Gu Ling, however, even dead ends were trivial.

His original body was Spiritual Wood, rooted deep in the earth; understanding the realm below the earth was his forte. Since he had transcended the level of life, re-entering the depths was as natural to him as water is to fish.

Moreover, since Xiao Chen had entrusted him with the Mountain River Seal, he was without restraint. Whether it was any Mine Vein Casting Material or divine metal Divine Material, as long as it contained metallic elements, he took them all.

Of course, the miners could only face death in the Netherworld.

Phew!

Freeing himself from the support of the Blood Pupil King, King Luo Shan unleashed a surge of powerful energy within him, and his previously shattered arms started to mend. Although they were not fully restored, they at least became capable enough to battle once more.

Of course, this consumed his own vitality.

Staring at Xiao Chen, his eyes filled with resentment; he hadn’t expected Xiao Chen to be so formidable while he himself had grown old and lacked vitality.

Suddenly, that resentment turned into firm resolution—he was indeed old, but he still had a life to give!

"Blood Pupil King, you and I have known each other for twenty thousand years. Today, help me hold off the human race. My Royal Beast Race has two Desolate Wilds legacies in the Void World; both will go to your Scorpion Clan!"

King Luo Shan understood that even if he fought to the death by himself, he might not stop Xiao Chen, but with a warrior holding Xiao Chen at bay, this battle of risking life for honor might just work.

As for the numerous resource-rich stars previously exchanged for the Demon Clan’s intervention, now involving the Scorpion Clan ideally meant that if he could personally take Xiao Chen down with him, all the better.

As for those resource-rich stars promised to the Demon Clan, even if they weren’t given to the Demon Clan, they would merely benefit other tribes for free. Drawing out the Demon Clan now was perfect as they wouldn’t tolerate other tribes meddling, naturally sparking conflict between the Demon Clan and other tribes.

The resources of the Royal Beast Race were not so easily obtained!

"Damn humans, my Royal Beast Race has an eternal heritage. Even if we can’t match the Saint Clan or Demon Clan, we’re not to be humiliated by just any human. I will cleanse our tribe’s humiliation with your blood; this old man isn’t afraid to sacrifice his broken body!"

Buzz!

Despite King Luo Shan’s bitter words, Xiao Chen took action once again. Waves surged in the Void, and a sprout-like phantom began growing into a Spiritual Wood tree, its glow brilliant, exuding endless vitality.

"The Tree of Life!"

A cry of surprise rose up, and within the purple pupils of the Scorpion King of the Scorpion Clan, the flickering Purple Flame made his eyes increasingly opaque, but this time, those eyes beheld something unbelievably miraculous.

What!

Not just him, even the furious King Luo Shan was abruptly taken aback.

This is impossible!

How could this be!

With purple flames flickering in his eyes, the Blood Pupil King burst out shouting. For a king, such a thing was simply unimaginable!

The Blood Pupil King belonged to one of the five veins of the Scorpion Clan, the Blood Pupil Scorpions, whose combat prowess lay largely in these eyes. Even rumored evolution could pierce through the Long River of time, connecting to the future!

However, apart from that ancient Scorpion God, no other from the Scorpion Clan had ever achieved such stature again.

But the Scorpion God had long perished; perhaps his powers were too contrary to the natural order, and after him, no king emerged in the Scorpion Clan. After the Scorpion God, the clan split into five, each inheriting part of his powers, the Blood Pupil vein inheriting the power of the eyes.

Even having lost the power to pierce through the Long River of time, these Blood Pupils remained the strongest Divine Power among the five Scorpion veins.

Reputed to break a myriad of laws with a glance.

As the Spiritual Wood sapling behind Xiao Chen began to manifest and grow, he saw through it!

"What a boundary-defying calamity of the human race, no wonder why all the elites of All Heavens have become stepping stones for you. Tree of Life, your Small World has evolved to such a degree!"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, the eyes of the Blood Pupil King still intently fixated on the small tree manifested in the Sky Vault behind Xiao Chen, as if looking upon a rare treasure.

"Legend has it that only when a king reaches the pinnacle, evolves his Small World to the extreme, and receives the cleansing of Heaven and Earth’s vital energy, there is a chance to birth true life in his world upon advancing to the Emperor’s Path. This life is not limited to any form, but the Tree of Life, it heralds the origin of all life!"

Hiss!

The two alien race kings sucked in a breath of cold air. Advancing to the Emperor’s Path might offer the chance to birth life, yet not necessarily the World Tree!

But what did they see? A complete Tree of Life vigorously flourishing!

The phantom behind Xiao Chen represented the true reflection of his Small World, there could be no mistake.

What did this imply!

It meant that a king had already grasped the pass to advance to the Emperor’s Path!

No!

Rather, as long as he didn’t die, his advancement to the Emperor’s Path was assured.

The two recalled a terrifying legend and exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

The Small World of an emperor might harbor life other than the Tree of Life, but a Small World birthing a Tree of Life meant stepping into the Emperor’s Path!

Kill!

This was no longer a matter of tribal hatred; it was now a great enemy of all Heavens!

This message had to be spread, otherwise, the future of All Heavens and Myriad Realms would undergo unimaginable turbulence, the consequences of which would be hard to fathom!

An emperor’s combat power could span epochs, enveloping the space-time of all Heavens!
