Chapter 589

That's right, Ye Qin smoothly obtained the system's critical strike reward. "Primordial Divine Tree? The divine tree obtained via critical strike on the basis of the Life Tree should not be inferior." He muttered to himself.

Afterward, he without hesitation examined the system's description of the Primordial Divine Tree: "Originating in the vast, ending in Hui Li; silent and desolate, the beginning of the Primordial; before spirit, before no spirit; its essence is extinction, only those with affinity can glimpse it."

Seeing these descriptions, Ye Qin was somewhat confused but could grasp the general idea. The first two sentences likely mean the Primordial Divine Tree originated in the vast and finally vanished in Hui Li. The latter two sentences he found a bit puzzling, but regarding having spirit or no spirit, he planned to ponder it slowly. Anyway, he had plenty of time.

He only knew that, as the Primordial Divine Tree obtained via the Life Tree's critical strike opportunity, its function and effect would absolutely not be inferior to the Life Tree.

At that moment, the Life Tree before him trembled again, bursting forth with extreme brilliant radiance. In an instant, the originally pitch-black chaotic world was illuminated to utter brilliance, rolling rosy light spreading to the boundless.

At the same time, the Tree of Life was enveloped all over by a layer of hazy divine radiance, and endless source power intertwined within it, making the Tree of Life blurry and indiscernible; even Ye Qin, at this moment, could not see the changes inside it. But he clearly knew in his heart that the Tree of Life was undergoing a transformation, about to turn into a critical strike opportunity—the Primordial Divine Tree!

Buzz buzz buzz~!

After an unknown period, the divine radiance on the Tree of Life gradually thinned, and at a certain moment it completely dissipated; thereafter, a new great tree slowly came into view.

「Hiss~!!! 」

Upon seeing this new tree, Ye Qin, despite his normally steady disposition, could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, his breathing becoming rapid, his eyes flashing with shock and ecstasy.

He looked ahead and saw that the original Tree of Life had vanished without a trace, replaced by an utterly different great tree; this tree towered high, its branches lush and leaves dense, its whole body shining golden, as if forged from the purest golden water, appearing sacred and splendid.

As the branches swayed, they emanated endless source power, mixed with various source Heavenly Dao power, source Great Dao power, and even the utmost source Dao power; astonishingly, even the utmost source Dao power could overflow, to be drawn upon by living beings.

However, what made Ye Qin gasp was mainly the two kinds of gas entwined around the Primordial Divine Tree: one was purplish-black Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, the other was miasmic Primordial Qi, and there were tens of millions of strands of each, intertwining among the treetops—a sight simply shocking to the world!

Hongmeng Purple Qi, as everyone knows, is the foundation of proving the Dao, the crystallization of fragments of heavenly consciousness; by using Hongmeng Purple Qi to prove the Dao and attain Mixed Yuan, one can achieve the position of a Heavenly Dao Sage, immortal through countless kalpas. In the Honghuang world, any strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi that appears will cause a great upheaval, yet on the Primordial Divine Tree tens of thousands of strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi intertwine, and this is not the crystallization of heavenly consciousness fragments but the manifestation of the Primordial Divine Tree's essence; using the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Primordial Divine Tree to prove the Dao and attain Mixed Yuan yields the status of a Primordial Sage.

From this it is evident that the rank of the Primordial Divine Tree far surpasses the Honghuang world, even exceeding Hongmeng-born things; once Ye Qin releases the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Primordial Divine Tree, what a commotion it will cause, and how many powerhouses will be forged!

Besides Hongmeng Purple Qi, there is also Primordial Qi; through divine sense inspection, Ye Qin understood that Primordial Qi is of a higher grade than Hongmeng Purple Qi. Primordial is the beginning of all things. If the Honghuang world was born after the opening of chaos, and chaos after the initial judgment of Hongmeng, then Primordial predates the birth of Hongmeng. And Primordial Qi is an energy that nurtures the Hongmeng world, its grade surpassing source power.

Any living being who obtains a strand of Primordial Qi will undergo earth-shaking changes; moreover, here there are actually tens of thousands of strands of Primordial Qi, simply unimaginable!

Ye Qin deeply knew that once he had absorbed all these Primordial Qi, his cultivation level would undergo a qualitative leap.

Buzz~!

Thus, Ye Qin could no longer remain seated; he rose to his feet, waved his hand, and drew all the Primordial Qi from the Primordial Divine Tree into his body; in an instant, another large mass of condensed Primordial Qi from the tree's trunk surged into him.

Buzz~!

The next moment, Ye Qin again fell into a mysterious state; his primordial spirit left his physical body and arrived at an unfathomably mysterious world where immeasurable source, order, and law power permeated.

Buzz buzz buzz~!

The instant Ye Qin's primordial spirit appeared, those source, order, and law powers rushed forth swiftly, turning into strands of light that enveloped him, as if waiting for his absorption and refinement.

Ye Qin unhesitatingly absorbed these source, order, and law powers; soon this heaven and earth became vast and empty, with not a trace of power remaining, yet gazing into the distance a gate impossible to describe appeared before him, shrouded in miasmic divine radiance.

Ye Qin's primordial spirit involuntarily walked toward that gate; this time he easily reached the gate and successfully crossed it.

Boom~!

Almost in an instant, his primordial spirit exploded, each strand bathed in the miasmic divine radiance, feeling warm and cozy; it was as if he had opened a gate to an entirely new realm.

Here, Ye Qin's primordial spirit comprehended all supreme truths of the Great Dao with perfect clarity; his thoughts were unobstructed, as if he had become omniscient and omnipotent—with a single thought a myriad-worlds universe would arise, with a single thought it would vanish, and with another thought countless rivers would surge forth.

At this moment he was like the creator of all things and also the destroyer of all things—contradictory yet merged.

Thud~! Thud~! Thud~!

At a certain moment, an ancient Dao melody resounded, as if congratulating the birth of a new supreme terror; Ye Qin quietly listened to those profound Dao tones.

Without a doubt, he seemed to be breaking through a certain supreme realm.

Actually, while Ye Qin was undergoing his breakthrough, the chaotic world where his physical body resided also experienced a great upheaval; especially within a region of billions of billions of miles centered on Ye Qin, the wind, water, and fire of chaos became extraordinarily violent, and chaos storms ravaged the void.

A long-lasting aura originating from ancient times emanated leisurely from within Ye Qin's body, spreading to the endless distance.

Rumble rumble rumble~!

In an instant, the chaotic world rang with earth-shaking roars, surging and boiling, as if the Chaos Dao were furiously bellowing, unwillingly roaring—this was the intense reluctance and fury of living beings transcending its control.

Boom~!

Immediately thereafter, a brilliant river of stars surged from the vast distance, heading straight for Ye Qin; wherever it passed, chaos was annihilated and reduced to nothingness, as if no matter the cost, they sought to utterly erase Ye Qin and block his path of transcendence.

Buzz~!

However, at this critical moment, the Primordial Divine Tree extended a branch, lightly inserting it into the void and giving a slight tremor.

That distant river of stars instantly shattered into fragments, unable to approach Ye Qin by even the slightest amount.

All of this fell into the eyes of the crocodile ancestor, who had been shaken back to a distant place; he widened his diamond-shaped pupils, staring in astonishment at Ye Qin beneath the golden radiant great tree, his massive body trembling.

What did he see?

The Tree of Life transformed before his elder brother's eyes; immediately afterward, the elder brother entered an epiphany, his aura surging violently, forcing him to retreat to the boundless exterior. Then a river of stars suddenly appeared, seeking to place the elder brother in a deadly situation. Facing that river of stars, the crocodile ancestor felt himself as tiny as an ant, utterly powerless to resist, as if a supreme terror had struck, leaving him not daring to even think of resistance.

Yet such a terrifying river of stars was shattered by a mere light shake of that golden radiant divine tree—this simply left the crocodile ancestor incredulous.

「Gurgle~! 」

The crocodile ancestor swallowed hard, his heart filled with immense shock.

「Is that… the Chaos Dao making a move? 」 「Is the Dao going to erase the elder brother? 」

「The key is, even the Dao can do nothing against the elder brother? 」

At this moment, the crocodile ancestor was truly frightened stupid; as a chaos demon god who controls the source of the fate Dao, he had never seen such a terrifying sight, and that kind of power far exceeded his comprehension.

「Elder brother, just what kind of existence is he? 」

The crocodile ancestor muttered in terror; especially after he had refined the corpses of the Ancestor of Destruction and the Ancestor of Life, his cultivation level broke through to the ninth level of Mixed Yuan Heavenly Dao Sage, yet the higher his cultivation, the less he could see through Ye Qin, and the more he felt Ye Qin was unfathomable.

On the other side, Ye Qin had no idea what the crocodile ancestor was thinking; at this moment he was in a state of profound mystery, his primordial spirit listening to the Dao's chant, comprehending the secrets of another level.

Exactly!

Leveraging the tens of thousands of strands of Primordial Qi and the Primordial Qi condensed from the Primordial Divine Tree, Ye Qin is about to step onto a transcendent level. Once successful, he will surpass all beings in cognition, including the three thousand chaotic demon gods, even the chaotic Great Dao!

…………

In Honghuang, at the apex of the firmament, the battle of the myriad sages still continues.

As time passed, the Honghuang heavens and earth had already become riddled with holes, utterly devastated. The immeasurable innate spiritual qi between heaven and earth was submerged by the chaotic earth, wind, water, and fire; the land, in the aftermath of battle, split into several fragments, while various chaotic storms and divine thunder rampaged across the boundless primordial starry sky, and the countless primordial stars that once existed mostly turned to dust.

The heavenly canopy collapsed, the boundless chaos of earth, wind, water, fire pouring down like a waterfall, resembling the omen of an apocalyptic heavenly disaster, a hundred million times more terrifying than when the water ancestor witch Gonggong angrily struck Mount Zhou during the Lich Calamity.

In a look/p>

However, this all could not stop the great war of the sages at the summit of the firmament.

In a battlefield, Yuanshi Tianzun stood within a formation anomalous space, holding the innate treasure Pangu Banner, his face grim. His chaotic divine eyes flashed with extremely cold light, killing intent rising between his brows, as if about to fall into madness.

Sanxiao!!

Even if I let Honghuang return to chaos, I will slay you all on the spot!

Never die, never rest!!!

Roar~!

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a hysterical roar, drawing the power of the Infinite Heavenly Dao to empower himself, his aura like a rainbow. He wielded the Pangu Banner with all his strength, unleashing terrifying forces condensed from the primordial heavenly dao.

In an instant, this formation anomalous space was completely shattered by the rampaging Yuanshi Tianzun. One blow destroyed a world, showing how terrifying his combat power was at this moment.

However, the next moment he fell into a new formation anomalous space.

Not good!!!

Seeing this, the Three Skies three sisters felt no joy at all, but their faces grew solemn, for that was the last ancient formation. They never expected that after Yuanshi Tianzun went berserk, he would possess such world-destroying combat power.

If Yuanshi Tianzun violently breaks that ancient formation again, they will have to face him directly. With the formation's power assisting, even though they are merely cultivators at the Quasi-Sage Great Perfection Realm, they could still suppress Yuanshi Tianzun. But if he breaks free of the formation's bonds, the Three Skies three sisters joining forces would likely not be his match, and even the Ten Heavenly Kings of Golden Ao Island would perish on the spot.

Thus, the situation was extremely dire!

Hum~!

Just then, Bixiao's delicate body trembled, a flash of surprise crossing her beautiful eyes.

Immediately thereafter, amid the doubtful gazes of Yunxiao and Qiongxiao, Bixiao actually entered a wondrous Realm.

Third sister had an epiphany in battle?

Third sister Bixiao actually had an epiphany in the fierce battle? Yunxiao and Qiongxiao stared at each other, their eyes full of astonishment.

They never imagined that, in this heart-pounding great war, third sister Bixiao would suddenly tremble delicately and then seem to enter a wondrous Realm, obviously having had an epiphany!

This epiphany came at a truly bad time. If Bixiao could calmly have her epiphany, she would undoubtedly gain enormously. But the problem is, they are now locked in a fierce battle with the rampaging Yuanshi Tianzun, whose combat power is astonishing; the ancient formation, lacking Bixiao's support, has begun to wobble on the verge of collapse.

If Yuanshi Tianzun breaks through the formation, the consequences will be unthinkable!

Thinking of this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao dared not divert their attention to Bixiao, quickly increasing their magical output to strive to keep the ancient formation running.

At the same time, Yunxiao loudly called out to the Ten Heavenly Kings of Golden Ao Island: 'Fellow junior brothers and sisters, third sister seems to be obtaining some great opportunity, unable to divert attention to the ancient formation!'

Please, everyone, do not hold back any further, for if Yuanshi Tianzun breaks out of the formation, we will likely be unable to resist him who possesses the power of the heavenly dao!

Good! The Ten Heavenly Kings of Golden Ao Island fully understood the gravity of the situation, without the slightest hesitation.

Thus, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and the Ten Heavenly Kings of Golden Ao Island frantically circulated their internal orderly power, performing hand seals, pouring one after another of mysterious, unfathomable magical power into the ancient formation.

They activated the ancient formation to emit a terrifying killing intent, continuing to trap Yuanshi Tianzun within the formation anomalous space.

Meanwhile, in another anomalous space suffused with crimson, Yuanshi Tianzun held the innate treasure Pangu Banner, his white hair flying, his visage ferocious.

The heavenly dao power surrounding him surged mighty, appearing and disappearing, ravaging the entire space.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was like a chaotic demon god that had released its nature, appearing mad!

He again brandished the Pangu Banner, rending spacetime, inverting yin-yang and the five elements, causing heaven and earth to tremble, the star sea to surge, and the boundless void to be annihilated.

It seemed as if a single blow from him would cause this world to collapse!

However, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly let out a soft 'eh', for he had detected a hint of abnormality.

The primordial perfection of this anomalous space far surpassed that of the previous formation anomalous space. He originally thought he would need to spend considerable time to destroy this world, but he never expected that his earlier blow would actually cause vast primordial essence to collapse, the firmament to fall.

This world seemed on the verge of being shattered!

Yuanshi Tianzun had always been confident in his destructive power, but the uncanny degree of that blow left him surprised.

His vast divine sense instantly spread out, extending to the boundless beyond. (End of chapter)
