Chapter 2330: Ancient Mother Tree Space
"What place is this?" Xiao Feng wondered.
He sensed that his connection to the outside world was completely severed, as if he had entered a totally independent world, even the virtual universe could not connect.
Such a thing has never happened before!
Before him was a purplish-red world, without Tian Kong, without land, the surrounding space was sealed off yet extremely vast, as if inside some gigantic entity.
In the distance, the purplish-red walls looked like living flesh, with white tendon-like structures spreading everywhere, forming a dense net, somewhat horrifying.
"Is this inside some creature's body? So huge... comparable to a star system?" Xiao Feng was astonished.
His intuition told him that the purplish-red walls all around were extremely far away, unreachable by flight, and even teleportation would take many years to reach the boundary.
A special aura permeated the surroundings, unlike any known energy or law, bringing a strange sense of novelty.
Hum~
Xiao Feng felt as if a powerful will swept past his body.
It was a Star-level overlord……
"Oh no, I've run into the gathering place of the Infinite Continent's overlords." Xiao Feng frowned deeply and quickly drew his purplish-red short sword.
But when he infused divine power into it again, the purplish-red short sword showed no response.
It could not be activated again for a short time……
Xiao Feng's heart sank; this was a big trouble!
In the far distance, a figure was flying toward his direction.
Not teleportation, but flight!
It was that Star-level powerhouse whose Divine Sense had just swept over him!
"What's going on?" Xiao Feng wondered, not understanding why the other party didn't directly
teleport over to kill him, but instead flew slowly.
But he soon understood, because the spatial laws here were sealed, making teleportation impossible.
His own teleportation also failed, whether it was long-distance instantaneous spatial transfer or opening a spatial channel, neither seemed possible.
This space was too strange; Xiao Feng had never encountered such a peculiar place before.
Teleportation couldn't be used; the enemy couldn't reach him nearby for now, but at a Star-level powerhouse's speed, it wouldn't take long.
With a thought, he disintegrated his own body into primordial qi of all things, attempting a material teleport.
This time he succeeded; spatial laws couldn't be used, but material laws still worked!
Having dispersed into primordial qi, he could move to a faraway place in an extremely short time, then reassemble his body and reappear.
This process resembled teleportation but was utterly different, requiring no spatial law power. However…… the consumption was far greater.
Teleportation is nearly lossless, whereas material-law teleportation consumes more the farther the distance; even though his strength had recently increased considerably, he could not maintain this state for long.
However, having this ability as a backup, Xiao Feng's confidence also increased considerably.
Even if he couldn't defeat a Star-level powerhouse, he could still run; the opponent couldn't teleport, so there was no way they could catch him.
"Outsider, welcome to the Ancient Mother Tree Space."
That Divine Sense appeared again, and it sent out a message filled with intense hostility and mockery.
Xiao Feng's teleportation distance was not far; the opponent had not noticed his peculiarity and was flying over at a speed not quite its limit, as if toying with a mouse.
Xiao Feng spread out his Divine Sense,
reaching out in that direction, he located the opponent.
At the same time, the spreading mental will in all directions also sensed that there were more overlords in other surrounding directions!
The enemy was not just one!
Up, down, left, right, in all directions, overlords existed in every direction, numbering no less than forty!
Although most were Planet-level, with only two Star-level powerhouses, it was still enough to deal with him.
Such a lineup, the trouble was not small.
"Panicked?"
"Hehehe……"
"When you killed the Demon Overlord, you were destined to die in the Infinite Continent, to repay him with your life."
"You're bold enough, having killed Zhao Tian and still daring to kill Ka Mo. If it weren't for the Holy Sovereign being bound by agreement and unable to act, you would already have died without a burial place!"
"Having come here, don't think of escaping again. All the powerhouses of the Infinite Continent will sanction you!"
"Wait for death, outsider!"
Wave after wave of Divine Sense surged, transmitting into Xiao Feng's mental perception.
These powerhouses were filled with killing intent, they would certainly not hold back against him; today a fierce battle was inevitable. If not handled well, he would fall here, never able to return to his homeland, nor see his family again!
Dozens of overlords surrounded him, each drawing nearer.
The nearest one to his position was already only tens of millions of kilometers away; in this starry‑like environment, flight speed reached its extreme, and they would collide within ten minutes!
Xiao Feng's expression grew grave; his Divine Sense transmitted a message wave: "Think it through. Fighting me will cause heavy casualties. With so many of you, who wants to be the first?"
He had thought that his strength in single‑handedly slaying the Demon Overlord, Zhao Tian, and Ka Mo would make the other powerhouses wary.
He hadn't expected that the opponent's
response would not fear him at all!
"Hahaha, what is there to fear about life and death?"
"The Infinite Continent is our homeland; we die here, our souls reincarnate, and soon we shall be reborn anew—why fear death?"
"Even if you grow stronger, even if you fight down to your last breath, we will not retreat."
"You will face the pursuit of thousands of overlords and a dozen Holy Sovereigns from the Infinite Continent. In this Ancient Mother Tree world, you cannot go anywhere; only death is your destination!"
These powerhouses completely disregarded life and death.
Although they were also angry over the death of companions like the Demon Overlord Great Lord, being killed by an outsider's attack and fighting to the death here to kill outsiders are different in their view.
The killing of companions is the outsiders' shamelessness!
To die here fighting outsiders is their glory!
Xiao Feng's face looked grim; he never expected the purple‑red short sword to bring him to such a place.
Ancient Mother Tree Space sounds like a tree, but no tree in the world is that big; it is probably the world root of the Infinite Continent. If the world is likened to a tree, this place is the root‑stem portion of the trunk, the toughest and most solid part, which is why instant movement is impossible here.
This place should be a treasure land where the Infinite Continent's powerhouses contemplate cosmic laws; various legal forces manifest more clearly, making them easy to grasp.
The purple‑red short sword is the key for entry and exit, but it can be used only once per period; after coming in, if one wants to leave, they must wait at least half a year.
He cannot leave for now and must face enemies who are controllers in numbers totaling over a thousand; currently he has encountered a group of dozens of them.
Moreover, they are a fearless bunch of lunatics!
This time, it seems truly impossible to escape disaster.
……
"I really didn't expect that……"
Xiao Feng sighed to himself.
This matter happened too suddenly; he didn't even have time to say a word to his family before the connection was cut off.
"Ruoruo, Ranran, Mom and Dad, Ning'er, Xiao Mi, Xiao Nian, Yu'er……"
Familiar faces flashed through his mind, finally freezing on the image of the Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang, who is six months pregnant, smiling gently at him.
Xiao Feng muttered, 'Without me, what will you do? I…… will never fall here!'
The enemy is already near.
A slaughter is unavoidable!
