Chapter 1781: The Golden Primordial Tree

As eerie whispers rose across the world, all living beings in Outer Shenzhou lifted their heads, eyes filled with fear, gazing at the far end of the sky, for there, a black great sun hung silently.

An ominous aura surged wildly, as if a world-destroying demon god was coldly watching this heaven and earth, while simultaneously pouring down destruction.

Li Li Tianwang looked at that black great sun, and his expression became more solemn than ever before, for he could clearly feel that within that black great sun emanated the aura of the "Source of All Evils."

That most primal and ancient aura of evil intent could not be faked.

Yet, was not the Source of All Evils already sealed by the Sect Master of the Formless Sacred Sect?

"This black sun was forged by my Lord, containing His initial power. He placed it at the deepest part of the Sea of Evil Intent, unknown to anyone; even the Sect Master of the Formless Sacred Sect back then failed to discover it." While Li Li Tianwang was shocked, the Great Demon King Minghou smiled and gave this explanation.

Li Li Tianwang said, "That Sect Master probably did discover this black sun, but simply did not care, because she believed she could directly eliminate the Source of All Evils."

The Great Demon King Minghou said calmly, "In the end, she paid a heavy price for her arrogance."

Li Li Tianwang shook his head and said, "Since the outcome is unclear, who can say for certain?"

"After this War of Unification, once our Dark World occupies Outer Shenzhou, my Lord shall naturally return."

"Then the living beings of our Outer Shenzhou will naturally sacrifice our lives to resist."

The Great Demon King Minghou smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lives will indeed be sacrificed, but alas, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it cannot change the outcome in the slightest. Pitiful and lamentable weaklings."

As the Great Demon King Minghou's words fell, the black sun suspended at the far end of Outer Shenzhou's sky suddenly released vast black flames.

The black flames resembled tens of millions of black streaks of light, falling down strand by strand from the sky, looking quite spectacular.

The black flames descended and collided with the divine light barrier formed by the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array," causing the divine light to tremble violently, and at this moment, holes were melted out one after another.

As the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array" was torn open, Li Li Tianwang could see that deep within the Dark World, those Great Demon Kings previously blocked by the array and not yet fully descended upon Outer Shenzhou had begun to stir restlessly.

If the other Great Demon Kings of the Dark World were truly allowed to descend completely, the pressure borne by the many Tianwangs of the Ten Great Shenzhous would exceed the limit.

Therefore, Li Li Tianwang knew he must stop the Great Demon King Minghou's scheme.

Now that the Great Demon King Minghou had played his card, Li Li Tianwang, as the supreme commander of the Outer Shenzhou alliance, also needed to step forward to win more opportunities for the other Tianwangs of Outer Shenzhou who were fighting.

Li Li Tianwang raised his finger and drew it remotely across the void behind him.

Immediately, a huge crack appeared in that space; within the crack, vast and surging life force swept out. Accompanied by the collapse of the void, all living beings across the Ten Great Shenzhous could, in shock, see a previously unseen giant divine tree appearing in the world.

That divine tree stretched for tens of millions of li; standing in the void, its roots and stems seemed like living creatures, slowly dancing within the void, continuously drawing energy from heaven and earth.

When this ancient divine tree appeared, countless experts from the Academy Alliance within the Ten Great Shenzhous felt their hearts tremble, for upon that ancient divine tree, they sensed a very familiar energy fluctuation.

That was... the Power Tree!

However, the Power Tree appearing now, in both scale and the terrifying energy fluctuation it emitted, was far more pure, vast, and ancient than any Power Tree within any academy.

"This is the legendary Mother Power Tree existing in the headquarters space of the Academy Alliance! All Power Trees within the Academy Alliance were cultivated from its seeds!" An instructor of extremely senior standing within the Academy Alliance exclaimed at this moment, while his gaze, directed at that magnificent mother tree, was filled with reverence.

Because almost all experts who emerged from the Academy Alliance had enjoyed the cultivation gifts brought to them by the Power Tree.

This even included Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Just as that magnificent Power Tree appeared in the world, within the Ten Great Shenzhous, countless beams of light shot up from the academies that possessed Power Trees.

Those beams of light all came from one Power Tree after another.

The spectacular scene caused countless living beings to gaze in awe.

The surging and vast energy of the light beams shot up to the sky, finally merging entirely into that mother tree; thus, in the next moment, an anomaly suddenly appeared.

The originally emerald-green leaves of the mother tree began to lose their green glow at this time, and beneath the fading green, a color like gold spread out, finally transforming this green mother tree into a dazzling and brilliant Golden Tree!

This astonishing transformation of the mother tree caused many academy directors of the Academy Alliance to be stunned.

At the same time, in the other three Shenzhous, Yan Changsheng, Su Ying, and Wang Taixi, who were engaged in fierce battles with Great Demon Kings, all sensed something and turned their gazes toward that extremely magnificent Golden Tree.

Astonishment surged upon their faces.

Because this Golden Tree was very familiar to them.

"This is... the 'Golden Primordial Tree' personally planted by the Sect Master within the sect?!" In the eyes of the three, astonishment and nostalgia surged; initially, this 'Golden Primordial Tree' was a wonder within the Formless Sacred Sect, and after the tree grew, it became the Sect Master's exclusive cultivation dojo.

They never expected that, tens of thousands of years later, even though the Formless Sacred Sect no longer existed, they could still see this divine tree with their own eyes again.

Moreover, compared to that time, this 'Golden Primordial Tree' had become even more majestic and upright; obviously, during these tens of thousands of years, under the devoted cultivation efforts of the Academy Alliance, it had grown even stronger.

While the three of the Formless Six gazed with nostalgic eyes, they saw that 'Golden Primordial Tree' extend a branch like a giant dragon; a golden leaf covered with countless ancient tree patterns pierced through space and landed beneath Li Li Tianwang.

Li Li Tianwang sat cross-legged on the golden leaf; a green light mark appeared between his eyebrows, and the status of the Divine Fruit Wood was fully activated, resonating with the 'Golden Primordial Tree'.

In the next moment, the already magnificent and vast 'Golden Primordial Tree' once again wildly expanded; countless branches extended like giant dragons toward the outside of the sky, finally transforming into a golden barrier that completely resisted the surging black flames descending from the 'Black Sun'.

The 'Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array', which had originally been torn with breaches, was also filled and patched up with golden leaves.

This scene made the many Tianwangs of Outer Shenzhou feel a great sense of relief; truly worthy of Li Li Tianwang, he could even resist this hidden trump card of the Great Demon King Minghou.

"Truly worthy of someone who could confront me for thousands of years; he even hid such a powerful move."

The Great Demon King Minghou also couldn't help but sigh; originally, he thought that when the Black Sun descended, it would surely shatter the morale of the Outer Shenzhou alliance like a withered plant, but he didn't expect it to be blocked by Li Li Tianwang's hidden trump card.

"However, since the 'Black Sun' has appeared, how can you dissolve it?"

The Great Demon King Minghou smiled; in the next moment, the flesh on his chest began to melt, and within his chest cavity, a blood-red mirror appeared, in which that Black Sun was perfectly reflected.

Voom!

From the blood mirror reflecting the Black Sun, dozens of deep black lights shot out violently; these black lights directly pierced through layers of space and fell toward the many Great Demon Kings currently fighting within the Ten Great Shenzhous.

And these black lights, containing the aura of the 'Source of All Evils', once they fell, the already terrifying auras of those Great Demon Kings seemed to receive some kind of enhancement, becoming even more fierce and vast.

Clearly, after seeing that he could not lure down the other Great Demon Kings of the Dark World who were watching hungrily from outside the array, the Great Demon King Minghou changed his strategy; using himself as a mirror, he drew down the power of the 'Black Sun' to enhance the other Great Demon Kings who had already entered the Ten Great Shenzhous.

And with this enhancement, as long as those Great Demon Kings advanced smoothly, they could still destroy the 'Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array'!

The magical duel between the two sides continued!

Seeing this scene, Li Li Tianwang's expression became even more solemn; he spoke no more, and with a thought, he saw golden tree leaves fluttering across the sky, finally gathering together to transform into phoenix claws burning with golden flames, which directly suppressed down upon the Great Demon King Minghou.

At the same time, Li Li Tianwang glanced toward the directions of the other Shenzhous; he could feel the sudden strengthening of the auras of many Great Demon Kings in that instant, but now that both sides had fought to the extreme, there was no choice but to exert all strength to protect the 'Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array'; only in this way could Outer Shenzhou have a final sliver of hope for survival.

"All Tianwangs, I entrust this to you."
