Chapter 1376

"In that case, let the World Tree be destroyed!"

Yousha Old Ancestor's five features twisted together, killing intent already evolved to the extreme, his hand continuously forming seals.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Endless black light surged out from his big hand, pouring toward the black World Tree seal before him.

Beside him, the Nether Formation Elder likewise continuously formed seals.

Fully activate the World Tree!

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, sensing a hint of danger.

Master has not made a move all along; apparently he is waiting for some opportunity.

But now the World Tree is about to completely collapse; this has already surpassed her imagination.

At this moment, Yousha Old Ancestor looked mysteriously at Xuanji Holy Lord and said, "Bai, within this Burial Heaven Grand Formation lies a great secret."

Xuanji Holy Lord immediately asked, "What is it?"

Yousha Old Ancestor revealed a triumphant smile, "After the Burial Heaven Grand Formation is activated, we can all draw power from the World Tree to break through our realms! Now that the World Tree has collapsed, its heavenly and earthly shackles have vanished, allowing us all to break through swiftly!"

"I was only one step away from breaking through to the Two-Star Dao Lord realm; now is the time!"

The Nether Formation Elder gave a dark chuckle, boasting to Xuanji Holy Lord, "Bai, how is it? How is the formation I set up? Isn't it exquisite?"

Xuanji Holy Lord felt a hint of panic, and quickly sent a secret voice to Lu Xuan to tell him the news.

Lu Xuan said lightly, "I have long since figured out this Burial Heaven Grand Formation."

With a thought, he transmitted an image of a formation pattern into Xuanji Holy Lord's mind.

Xuanji Holy Lord blinked slightly, and in her Sea of Divine Sense appeared a black World Tree; its formation pattern matched that in the hall, even its lines were clearer, and even its flaws were plainly visible.

"It turns out everything is under Master's control."

Xuanji Holy Lord no longer worried.

Lu Xuan said, "Soon, when they draw power from the World Tree, you must absolutely not absorb even a trace."

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "Okay."

A voice of extreme excitement from Yousha Old Ancestor came to her ears: "Bai, quickly join us in absorbing!"

Yousha Old Ancestor had already secretly transmitted this news to all surviving Guile Hall powerhouses.

Everyone was extremely excited and thrilled!

Who would have thought there was still such a heaven-defying opportunity.

Yousha Old Ancestor gave a cold snort, "Everything is within my plan; this is originally our cooperation with the Longevity Clan. We draw the power of the Dao, they take the power of longevity! We shall ultimately return to our homeland!"

In an instant, terrifying aberrant Dao diagrams appeared all around the Dim Hall.

Black pillars of light shot up to the heavens.

One, two… there were actually over a thousand!

These black pillars of light shot out from the trunk of the World Tree, carrying immensely rich Dao power, and in an instant the Burial Heaven Grand Formation transformed them into aberrant Dao Resonance.

Boom—boom!

At this moment, the Burial Heaven Grand Formation operated at full power, like an ancient primordial machine emitting an archaic roar; countless formation patterns activated simultaneously, even drowning out the World Tree's cries.

Illusory tendrils inserted one by one into the World Tree, drawing out the scant remaining Dao power.

No! No…

A little girl's voice suddenly screamed.

This is the World Tree's voice!

Everyone felt their scalps go numb; no one expected that at this moment of life and death, the World Tree had actually given birth to a hint of sentience.

It turned to Lu Xuan for help, "Lu Xuan, save me…"

Lu Xuan supported the vast starry river with one hand, sending out a thought, "Believe me, it will be soon."

The next instant.

Boom boom boom boom!

At the site of the Dim Hall, all Guile Hall individuals were drawing aberrant power, beginning to frenziedly break through.

Yousha Old Ancestor burst into mad laughter; behind him appeared numerous heavenly and earthly phenomena—a dark abyss, a sky‑reaching black divine tree, and an endless sea of souls… all these phenomena roared in unison.

His aura kept surging upward!

Hahaha!

In the span of a breath, he directly broke through to the Two-Star Dao Void realm; his terrifyingly peerless form manifested outside the Dim Hall, his body covered in red hair, like a chaos demon god, his gaze looking down, his ferocious face overlooking Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, then what now? What chance do you still have?"

Lu Xuan snorted dismissively, paying no heed.

The good show is still to come.

Behind Yousha Old Ancestor, those half‑step Dao Lord realm cultivators were also breaking through!

High‑star Dao Void realm cultivators were also breaking through!

Many of the Ever‑Central Army were stunned.

At this moment, the Guile Hall individuals all broke through together!

The one still injured is the World Tree!

Within the Dim Hall, only Xuanji Holy Lord did not draw power from the World Tree.

"Huh?" Yousha Old Ancestor looked at Xuanji Holy Lord, puzzled, and asked, "Bai, why aren't you absorbing? This is a once‑in‑a‑thousand‑years opportunity."

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "Drawing power like this makes the realm too insubstantial; it is not the Dao I pursue."

"Good good good!" Yousha Old Ancestor did not force Xuanji Holy Lord; instead he praised highly, "You can resist this temptation—your future achievements will certainly not be inferior to mine! Indeed, drawing power this way requires spending more time to settle; it's better to progress step by step for a solid foundation."

"Your foundation is extremely solid; when we cross the River of Reverse Flow and leave this shattered universe, that place will be your world!"

Xuanji Holy Lord nodded, yet inwardly sneered, "Master's schemes—you will have to repay your debts!"

At this moment, outside the World Tree, Lin Tian and Wang Hai wore sneers as they continually attacked the World Tree, "Lu Xuan, why don't you make a move? Are you scared silly? Hahaha!"

Several Dao Lord Realm cultivators of the Longevity Clan behind him likewise sneered, "Things have come to this; Lu Xuan can only watch helplessly as the World Tree he once created collapses. This is retribution! Retribution!"

They frantically drew power from the cracks in the World Tree, scattering countless temporal forces!

Boom!

Crack!

At this moment the World Tree completely collapsed, all the myriad Dao powers within it utterly drained, and this great world began to fragment.

Wuu…

It let out its final wail.

Lu Xuan, you gave birth to me.

My only regret is that this spark of consciousness has only just arisen.

My mission is now complete; farewell, Lu Xuan.

Only two indestructible specks remained in the World Tree: one was the Primordial Realm, the other the Fallen Star Sea.

At this moment, Lu Xuan calmly said, "Now!"

With a thought, a Ten Transformation Gu flew forth from his body!

Boom—

An immensely rich Gu Dao Resonance spread forth!

Ten Transformation Gu, Adversity-to-Prosperity Gu!

This Gu's form was strange, having no fixed shape—sometimes turning into a mass of flowing water, sometimes into a wisp of cloudy smoke, sometimes into a gem cracked and veined, containing the Grand Dao of Time, the Grand Dao of Karma, and many other Dao Resonances; its terrifying aura far surpassed that of the previous Ten Transformation Heaven-Earth Unchanged Gu.

Its momentum was overwhelming!

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Old Ancestor Yousha suddenly sensed a deadly threat: "What kind of Gu is this? How does Lu Xuan still have a Ten Transformation Gu in his hand?"
