Slaying Sailianna

Sailianna unleashed all her power without holding back.

His withered face no longer showed any calculation or deliberation, but instead displayed a chilling, resolute, and Destruction will.

The massive roots spreading beneath her feet bypassed Lister and frantically pierced towards the newly born Seed of Eternity at the core of the vine nest!

The blade struck Sailianna with perfect ease.

A very soft groan escaped her lips as Sailianna withstood the attack head-on.

Attack: Deals a total of -32,249,012 points of true damage.

[Health Points: 178802378/212051390 (Health is increasing rapidly)]

Just by seeing this extraordinary life force, Lister understood.

Sailianna had been lying in wait nearby for some time and had already prepared herself.

He immediately drew his sword, his killing intent swiftly shifting towards the Seed of Eternity.

The killing intent crystals caused vines to rise from that spot, but in reality, the killing intent crystals had no actual defensive power.

However, Lister discovered that this crystallized killing intent was an alternative rule, which had a good shielding effect against the power of the same rule.

Unfortunately, it's already too late for him to act.

The power of Wither, along with the Lord of Qingteng blocking its path, has now acted upon this Seed of Eternity.

The Qingteng's health plummeted, and the energy emanating from its branches weakened instantly.

That life force was constantly being drained away, and in the blink of an eye, it was already on the verge of collapse.

If Lister hadn't kicked him away, he would be dead by now.

At the same time, the aura of the Seed of Eternity also weakened.

The tree seed had just sprouted, and its originally pure and abundant vitality showed signs of being extinguished instantly under the influence of this Wither force.

If it weren't for the continuous extraction and transfer of Power of the Plane, this Seed of Eternity would likely be on the verge of extinction.

The lush green trees turned grayish-white at that moment, until a strange mark was triggered from them.

"This is... the Tree of Eternity?"

A burst of jade-like light, compressed to its absolute limit, exploded!

Countless fine, gray, Phantom roots burst forth from the cracks in the seed coat; these roots were different from Sailianna's roots.

As if it were a naturally higher-level existence, the countless entangled roots automatically receded.

Even Sailianna herself hadn't anticipated that, no matter what she did, it would be difficult to get them to step forward again.

At the same time, the gray root Phantoms instantly wove a giant, interwoven net between the power of Wither and the Seed of Eternity.

Sailianna's withering law, weakened by the killing intent crystal, struck the object again, emitting a piercing, metallic crackling sound!

This Wither force has now been truly resisted.

Lister's expression also showed a strange look at this moment.

This mark of the Tree of Eternity was likely left behind when the Seed of Eternity was activated and the Power of the Plane was drawn into it.

Moreover, it played a crucial role at this moment, shielding the Seed of Eternity from this predicament.

However, in the contract that Lister signed with the Seed of Eternity, this mark was never mentioned in the subtle and intimate information perception.

He couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if Sailianna up today.

Will this mark remain hidden forever?

And who exactly is this mark intended to protect against? Could it be... that he himself is one of them?

The gray, Phantom roots were once again completed, and the full view of the Tree of Eternity emerged.

Unlike when it had just saved the Seed of Eternity, the Tree of Eternity now appears lifeless, exuding only a strong sense of rationality and order.

A section of an ancient branch, entwined with starlight, stretched out towards Sailianna's brow.

At this Sailianna seemed to be restricted, completely unable to move.

She could only watch helplessly as the branch touched her brow.

In an instant, Sailianna's aura rapidly faded.

A surge of pure life energy was extracted, and the Phantom of the Seed of Eternity appeared on the energy.

Ultimately, this energy was returned to the Seed of Eternity.

Only at this moment was Sailianna finally freed.

[Target: Sailianna]

[Health Points: 37320019/84180031 (Possibly under load)]

That's the downside of shutting down the server system.

Much of the information obtained through exploration is no longer as accurate as it used to be.

He could only rely on the Merrick Chip and his own Killing Intent Perception to simulate and judge.

However, the decline in health points is real.

Sailianna's bonus health seemed to be temporarily sealed by the mark of the Tree of Eternity.

This aura, this life force.

It was extremely tempting to Lister, and he couldn't help but put aside his thoughts on the mark on the Seed of Eternity.

His gaze was fixed on Sailianna, and his killing intent locked onto her at that moment.

"This... this Tree of Eternity is actually... it's actually a life form on a trans- Cosmic Tier..."

"Lister... you actually... you actually dared to cooperate with this kind of life form!"

The panic on Sailianna's face flashed by, and the pain from having her power stripped away by the mark of the Tree of Eternity was suppressed at this moment.

He, who was usually a man of few words, seemed genuinely frightened by the power of the Tree of Eternity and began to question Lister.

"Do you know that the invasion of such life forms would be a catastrophe for any universe?!"

"You! You are the sinner of our universe!"

His words grew increasingly calm, as if he were truly denouncing him.

Unfortunately, Lister's performance did not meet Sailianna's expectations.

His expression remained calm, but all his senses were completely locked onto him, and his aura was increasing further.

For a moment, even the founder of the Emerald Royal Court, Hegemon of the universe for hundreds of thousands of years, couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and unease!

With countless killing intents poured into it, the scarlet longsword was terrifying, as if it would strike at any moment.

This prompted Sailianna to quickly change her tune.

"However, the seed of Seed of Eternity itself is not wrong; every life should have the opportunity to exist."

"I'm willing to support you coming..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lister had already drawn his knife.

The crimson blade light seemed poised to cleave the entire universe, tearing through the entire galaxy.

Lister could tell that Sailianna was stalling for time.

The Seed of Eternity does indeed limit her ability to regenerate health and continuously enhance herself during battle.

Her current health points represent only her most basic attributes.

Lister would certainly not miss such a good opportunity.

The opportune moment had been anticipated; with a fully charged strike, the blade's edge instantly slashed through Sailianna.

His body was now in an area without any protective shield, and countless roots were annihilated by his blade's light.

At the same time, a mysterious stirring came from within Lister's soul, a renewed infusion of power into the Merrick Saber Technique.

Without the original server system, the killing judgment of his Merrick Saber Technique is now determined by his will, and he can choose the target to kill.

In an instant, Sailianna's soul seemed to be utterly executed.

The surrounding spatial shielding was also lifted at the same time.

A few breaths later, the Church of the End and the several World Annihilation of the Crimson Covenant immediately received the intercepted message originally sent by Lister and reappeared in this star field.

At this moment, the unique aura belonging to Sailianna had not completely disappeared, but it was indeed in the process of rapidly collapsing.

The eight World Annihilation present all changed their expressions.

The crowd still had the ability to distinguish whether the aura indicated departure or death.

This level of energy collapse is now about to vanish without a trace.

This is absolutely death!

The leader of the Emerald Royal Court, arguably the second most World Annihilation in the current universe.

He died in less than an hour?

At that moment, all eyes turned to Lister.

Respect, disbelief, fear, surprise, and other emotions filled his eyes and thoughts.

I dare not speak for other situations, but in this one-on-one situation, even Xavier would only dare to say that he could suppress his opponent, not kill him.

But for Lister at this moment, it was a true annihilation.

The scene of the world World Annihilation looking at each other in bewilderment lasted for quite a while.

Finally, Xavier spoke.

"Sailianna... you actually killed her!"

It's hard to tell whether this is a question or a statement of emotion.

Even Xavier himself has not fully accepted it yet.

The scene and Lister's strength were far beyond his expectations!

He had already implicitly accepted that Lister's strength was on the same level as his and Sailianna's.

But the reality is that Lister was able to kill Sailianna alone, and his absolute strength surpasses that of the two of them.

This realization that everything had almost changed left Xavier in a daze for a while.

"Yes, I've already killed him."

However... I'm not sure if she can be brought back to life.

Lister was not bothered by the stares and changing attitudes of the crowd.

From beginning to end, he had a clear understanding of his own abilities.

In a one-on-one situation, he is arguably the strongest in the current universe.

However, to say that he could kill Xavier and Sailianna would be impossible unless under certain circumstances.

Today, it is precisely the Tree of Eternity that has created this opportunity for him.

In any case, this misunderstanding is only beneficial to him and the Machine-Slaying Federation.

Of course, what's even more important is Sailianna's own resurrection ability.

Lister found this difficult to fathom and judge.

"Able!"

Xavier gave him an answer immediately.

"Sailianna's greatest ability lies in healing and resurrection."

"But don't worry, her resurrection ability truly requires 'resurrection and growth'."

"It will take her tens of thousands of years to return to her original state."

As expected, Sailianna was not completely killed.

The strongest aspect of this healing-based world -World Annihilation is undoubtedly its ability to preserve life.

It's just that compared to other World Annihilation attacks, some of her attack methods were too powerful, which is why they were subconsciously overlooked.

Regardless of the circumstances, after tens of thousands of years of resurrection and growth, the Emerald Royal Court is destined to be eliminated in this great war.

Or rather, the situation has now reached its best possible point!

At the moment of Sailianna's death, the Emerald Royal Court, the Void Corridor, the Spirit Remains Star Abyss, and the Eternal Night were completely without their pillars.

Currently, the only entities that truly have control over the entire universe are the Church of the End and the Machine-Slaying Federation.

"Lister, now that you have slain Sailianna, the remaining battles of the Emerald Royal Court will be handled by our Church."

"Don't worry, we will reserve the resources as agreed."

In this delicate situation, Xavier spoke first.

Let's first discuss the matter of eliminating the Emerald Royal Court.

Lister naturally nodded in agreement.

The current situation is too sudden, and both sides need time to calm down and make their next strategic decisions.

The demise of the Emerald Royal Court also served as a buffer period for both sides.

As for whether to continue eliminating other forces or engage in a battle between the two sides... that's something to consider next.

After all, with the destruction of the Emerald Royal Court, the Church of the End had already fulfilled the requirements and obligations stipulated in the Crimson Covenant.

Inside the Emerald Royal Court, Aiwei and Varalos waited anxiously for news.

The initial discussion about the battle was ultimately overturned by Lady Sailianna.

Realizing that victory through overwhelming force and the chances of obtaining the Seed of Eternity were slim, they immediately changed their minds.

She no longer allowed other World Annihilation to interfere, but instead personally guarded the Machine-Slaying Federation.

Waiting for the opportunity to destroy the Seed of Eternity in one fell swoop.

The more Sailianna understood the value of these seeds, the less she wanted anyone else to have them.

If the Emerald Royal Court cannot obtain anything, then Destruction is the only option.

Because she was going into battle alone, Aiwei and Varalos were worried that Sailianna would be surrounded, especially attacked by Xavier.

Inside the royal court, there was immense anxiety.

Unfortunately... in the end, they were met by an elder from their own faction, as well as a servant from the Void Corridor.

Upon seeing these two people, Aiwei and Varalos's expressions changed drastically.

"What, it's you all! Where is Lady Sailianna?"

"Are you injured? Where can you get treatment?"

Varalos asked anxiously, a bad feeling already creeping into his mind.

After all, if the operation succeeds, it will only be Lady Sailianna who returns, not the two of them.

"Lady Sailianna... Lady... she's been killed!"

"What!"

"How is this possible!?"

In a panic, Aiwei kicked the elder from her faction away.

His gaze then fixed on the messenger from the Void Corridor.

Please report that the term "Void Corridor" is more accurate.

Furthermore, the signal intelligence blockade used by Lady Sailianna operations was also the work of the Void Corridor.

"Lady Aiwei!"

"This... this is real, it lasted for over an hour inside the barrier."

"While Lady Sailianna was fighting Lister, by the time the barrier reopened, Sailianna would have already been killed."

Even the messenger of the Void Corridor found this situation hard to believe.

But the fact remains the fact: the incredibly powerful Sailianna, who had dominated the universe for countless eras, was actually killed by the mere newly emerged Lister!

Everything was so unbelievable, yet undeniably acceptable.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Aiwei clenched her fists, utterly unable to accept the news.

How could a mere Lister be so powerful?

Neither of them were besieged because their battle plan failed.

Or was it truly part of Lady Sailianna's plan, that he was killed in a one-on-one battle?

All of this information would be a huge joke under normal circumstances.

But now it seems everyone is reminding her that this is not a joke, but the truth.

"Lady Aiwei ~!"

"Several World Annihilation of the Church of the End are already on their way!"

"My message has been delivered, I'm sorry!"

Having said that, the Overlord Tier envoy of the Void Corridor dared not linger and immediately turned to leave.

Several members of the Church of the End World Annihilation came to the scene, and even Lord Xavier came along.

This Emerald Royal Court is already doomed.

His message, at most, was meant to give Aiwei and Varalos a chance to escape as allies.
