Chapter 1028: Chase and Kill Ji Fuyou!

Half a day later.

Lu Xuan rose to his feet, directly plucked the Dao Source Fruit, and stored it away.

When this Dao Source Fruit disappeared, the entire star sensed the disappearance of an incomparably pure power.

The Dao Source Fruit is the crystallization of the World Tree.

Their star grew together with the Dao Source Fruit.

Once this fruit perishes, the star will lose the chance to continue rising.

Many experts of the Azure Flame Empire were somewhat shocked, "That Dao Source Fruit has been taken. But Lord Sun Kong still hasn't emerged from the Abyss."

At this moment, Lu Xuan fell to the bottom of the Abyss, sat cross-legged, his spirit technique shifting, and began activating the World Tree Dao Patterns here.

—hiss!

A faint divine radiance flowed over him; he slammed his palm into the Abyss, and the dao patterns that had lain dormant for eons began to stir.

Lu Xuan sensed the World Tree sending waves of gentle resonance.

Previously, the World Tree Dao Patterns he had imparted to the Spirit Martial Emperor were in harmony with the Great Dao; they would not harm the World Tree but could strengthen its foundation.

Now, activating it again is actually a nourishment for the World Tree.

Tie Xiaoqing looked at the changes in the Abyss with some astonishment.

As if several swimming dragons roamed the land, brilliantly crystal-clear, a restorative wind swept outward, shedding waves of pure light.

Tie Xiaoqing, Qingqiu, and the others all felt their hearts become clear.

This is the primal power of the World Tree!

One day later.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes; the World Tree Dao Patterns here had been activated and were now resonating with the patterns of the Southern Star Region.

Though separated by billions of miles of starry sky, because of the World Tree's existence, their powers intertwined.

At the same time, in the Eastern Starry Region, Yang Ling'er lowered her head in slight surprise; complex patterns wandered in her snow‑white palm, and the north‑south dao patterns began to connect.

—whoosh!

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she immediately sensed a surge of World Tree power flowing into her body.

The north‑south dao patterns have been opened. I didn't expect Senior Sister Qingqiu and Senior Brother Wuwo to be this fast as well.

Yang Xuan furrowed his brows, "Could it be that the master made a move? During this time, members of the Sun Clan have descended, tightly guarding the Dao Source Fruit's location, and hidden among them are experts of the Seven Star Inquiry Dao Realm probing."

Yang Ling'er smiled charmingly, "If it was the master who acted, then everything would be easy to handle."

Yang Xuan nodded, "We will seek another opportunity; we cannot let the master handle everything."

Yang Ling'er said, "Good. But we need to be quicker. The activation of these two World Tree Dao Patterns may cause some heavenly omens in the Azure Abyss Heaven; once the third, northwestern dao pattern is activated, the Azure Abyss Emperor may notice."

Yang Xuan said, "Good."

In the Abyss, Lu Xuan again slammed his palm, directly causing the World Tree Dao Patterns to fall silent and return to the World Tree.

The outside world could no longer probe it.

Lu Xuan slowly rose, looked at Qingqiu, and said, "On this star, wipe out the forces that have moved against you."

Shortly after.

He brought Qingqiu, Wuwo, and a few others, stepping through the void to descend, leaving the Abyss.

This Abyss seemed to become ordinary, losing its former mysteries; the myriad chaotic dao also faded as the World Tree Dao Patterns concealed themselves.

—boom!

When Lu Xuan stepped out of the Abyss, outside already gathered many experts of major powers.

Namely, the Azure Flame Empire and the Li Clan, among other forces.

Everyone wore a look of doubt.

Why are the plain‑clothed woman and the bald man still alive!

Yet Lord Sun Kong and the others are nowhere to be seen!

What on earth happened in this Abyss!

They could plainly see the star's change, from a rising star about to become an omen of death.

A gray‑robed elder of the Li Clan frowned, stared fixedly at Lu Xuan, and asked, "Where is Lord Sun Kong? Why hasn't he come out?"

Lu Xuan glanced over everyone, "Since you're all here, I don't need to hunt you down one by one."

He flicked his sleeve; a terrifying force sucked the gray‑robed elder to his front, and he directly searched his soul.

Everyone was startled.

This gray‑robed elder was actually an expert of the Seven Star Inquiry Dao Realm, yet before the white‑robed man he had no power to resist!

Shortly after, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and clenched his hand tightly.

—puff!

The gray‑robed elder's body exploded outright into a mist of blood.

Instant kill!

Lu Xuan said lightly, "Li Clan, Azure Flame Empire… you're doing quite well!"

Everyone stared at Lu Xuan in shock, "You, you are a member of the Heaven‑Burying Alliance!"

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve; a terrifyingly huge palm descended directly upon everyone.

—rumble!

Heaven and earth rumbled; the overwhelming power descended with an unstoppable momentum.

Everyone's faces turned horrified, "Did you also kill Lord Sun Kong!"

Lu Xuan remained silent.

As that palm fell, all the experts on the spot turned to dust, dead beyond revival.

Lu Xuan reached out and snatched all the scattered storage rings, giving them to Qingqiu and Wuwo.

Next, his foot stomped in the starry sky, and the power of the World Tree transformed into strands of emerald-green light, directly entwining around this star.

The power of the World Tree, as if the heavenly Dao poured down!

All living beings upon the star felt an incomparable palpitation.

Someone stood above them, holding power over life and death!

It seemed that with a single thought, they could be obliterated!

At the same time, a deadly opportunity that pierced the heavens appeared in the territories of the Li family, the Azureflame Empire, and many major powers involved in this action.

Like the heavenly Dao slaying people!

"Pfft!"

Strong ones kept falling like withered leaves to the ground, scattering into ashes.

Instant kill!

Thus they died silently, not entering reincarnation.

The Li family members stared in shock at their own bodies, their arms turning to ash, then their bodies, and finally their heads scattering into ash.

In their hearts they wailed, "What heaven-defying big shot have we offended!"

With such methods, they didn't even see where the enemy was!

Thus they died feeling stifled!

In an instant, several major powers were utterly uprooted, vanishing into the river of time.

Lu Xuan slowly extended his right hand and clenched it tightly.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

The lands of the Li family, the Azureflame Empire… the heavens and earth where several major powers resided began to tear, the land within a radius of a million li was ripped straight up, turning into streaks of black light that shot toward the abyss.

Other beings stared in shock, "What's happening? Isn't this the land of those major powers?"

With a thought, Lu Xuan made those lands fall into the abyss, extracting their vast foundations and giving them all to Qingqiu and Wuwo.

The abyss was flattened!

The star's mountains and rivers shifted, eventually becoming an ordinary star.

Lu Xuan looked at Qingqiu and Wuwo, "Will you continue in this starry expanse, or follow me to find Fuyao and the others?"

Qingqiu thought and said, "Master, we'll stay here; we can still continue to obtain some Dao-source fruits."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Alright, I'll go find Fuyao and Ye Chen."

With a slap of his big hand, mysterious spatial power surged, taking Tie Xiaoqing and Tie Xingqiong and making them vanish from the spot.

……

Azure Void Heaven, Western Region.

Li Fire Valley.

A vast expanse of fire blazed in the starry sky, as if it could refine the heavens.

There are three layers of fire here!

Each layer is more terrifying than the last!

Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen were then walking along the edge of the first layer of fire, preparing to enter the second layer, Ji Fuyao holding a Dao-source fruit in her hand, her expression solemn.

A furious voice rang from behind them, "You traitors of the Heaven-Burying Alliance, dare to secretly pluck Dao-source fruits! Stay here!"

Ji Fuyao didn't turn back, looking at Ye Chen and said, "Now we can only enter the second layer of fire to evade their pursuit. Moreover, to activate the World Tree Dao Patterns here, we must enter the third layer of fire!"
