Global Shock! Standing at the Pinnacle of Humanity!
Inside the car, everyone was still staring at the energy curve that had not yet receded.
The team leader snapped back to reality, grabbing the encrypted communicator. "Quick, connect to the headquarters' dedicated line, highest priority! Suspected energy reaction of Seventh Tier or higher detected."
After the call connected, the operator on the other end of the communicator was visibly taken aback. "Seventh Tier or higher? Are you sure?"
"Confirmed! The energy peak is suspected to exceed the Seventh Tier! Its location is at the coordinates of the God Tree. Requesting immediate assessment from the General Administration!"
The message was sent directly to the headquarters via an encrypted channel. The operator, not daring to be negligent, transferred it to the duty officer's office.
After hearing the report, the duty officer slammed his pen down on the table, exclaiming in shock, "What? Over the Seventh Tier?"
He was stunned for several seconds before repeating, "More than the Seventh Tier? How is that possible? What does the Seventh Tier even mean? The strongest human evolver on the surface right now is only at the Peak Stage the Third Tier rank. You're telling me that Blue Star already has Eighth Stage?"
"The data is still being verified, but the energy peak has indeed exceeded the Sixth Tier limit, and by a significant margin." The team leader's voice trembled on the other end of the communicator. "It's suspected that an unknown high-level human evolved being appeared at the site of the battle for the God Tree; the Ancient God has already been defeated in a single move!"
The leader on duty suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his voice was extremely low. "Continue monitoring, but don't act rashly. I'll report to the Director-General immediately. Also, back up all the on-site surveillance data—top secret. If it really is Seventh Tier... no, even if it's Pseudo-Eighth Tier, this is beyond our capabilities."
He hung up the call, stood still, and took a deep breath.
Looking out the window at the scenery of the Capital, he murmured, "Beyond the Seventh Tier... the heavens of Blue Star are about to change."
"This is a being standing at the pinnacle of humanity!"
The live stream was still going on, and the chat was going absolutely crazy.
At the same time, the reactions from various forces were even more intense.
The conference room at the headquarters of the Ancient Saint Group was deathly silent.
Several high-ranking officials stared at the live stream, their faces ashen.
They spent an exorbitant amount of money to sign the Ancient God and used countless resources to push him to the Peak Stage the Third Tier, all in order to make him suppress all forces on the surface.
But now, the Ancient God was instantly killed right under their noses, like swatting a fly.
The group chairman's knuckles turned white from gripping the jar, and he managed to squeeze out only one sentence. "Investigate! Find out who this person is at all costs!"
"Heavenly Palace, retreat! Retreat immediately! The target's danger level exceeds expectations. Do not make contact."
Zero stood in the shadows of the trees, remained silent for a moment, and then quietly slipped away.
At the Pangu Society, Wuqu's master watched the live stream, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He had a disciple late in life and passed on all his knowledge to Wuqu, hoping to compete for the world. But he never expected that he couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.
"It's good that you lost, it'll show you just how high the sky really is."
Chen Du's masked debut this time was like a collision of planets, a sudden and earth-shattering event that shocked the world!
Almost all the major powers made the same judgment at the same time: this mysterious person is absolutely not to be trifled with.
At least until we figure out his true identity and strength, we shouldn't mess with him.
However, at the same moment, it was as if some powerful force was about to Lie Dormant!
It seems unlikely that Chen Du will be able to take the Golden Fruit with him!
For a fleeting moment, he sensed an intense killing intent!
He seemed to be on guard as well; this could also be a trap.
In an instant, there was a loud bang, and large sections of the ground below collapsed.
The moment the ground exploded, Chen Du sensed the danger.
He stepped back, but the others were not so lucky.
Countless thick tree roots simultaneously pierced through the ground, each wrapped in a life energy so dense it was almost tangible, its green light flowing as fast as lightning.
Hundreds of evolved beings who were still hesitating about whether to retreat were caught off guard and quickly became entangled by the tree roots.
The green light from the tree roots burrowed into their bodies like a living thing, quickly draining their life force.
Within a few breaths, hundreds of shriveled corpses fell from mid-air, crashing onto the shattered ground like withered trees that had been dried up for a hundred years.
Several peak- Peak Stage Third Tier evolvers also seemed to be firmly trapped by the tree branches, barely managing to survive, feeling utterly humiliated!
They had a feeling that they were nothing more than frogs in a well.
The live stream chat exploded instantly, with comments scrolling like crazy:
"What's going on?! How come so many tree roots are suddenly sprouting from the ground?!"
So many evolved beings?? Wiped out in an instant???
"This is a trap! The Golden Fruit is bait!"
"It's over, it's over! Even Third Tier monsters are like ants! What the hell is this thing?!"
"It's that Tree Demon, the one that killed those mummified corpses under the tree in the video—they were all drained dry by the tree roots!"
The earth continued to tremble violently, the cracks widened, and a low laugh came from underground.
Countless roots surged out from the ground, blocking out the sky and the sun, like giant, writhing pythons.
At the center of those roots, a massive body slowly rose up.
It was a monster that was half human and half tree, standing thirty feet tall, with a canopy like a canopy and vines like beard and hair.
Every inch of its bark is etched with ancient patterns, exuding a wild and terrifying aura.
The Tree Demon's gaze swept across the entire area, finally settling on Chen Du: "Not bad. Among humans, there's actually someone like you. You're different from those ants; you have some talent."
It paused, its voice tinged with a condescending pity, "I'll give you a chance to live, to become my servant like them."
Chen Du looked up at the enormous Tree Demon, his expression calm, and sneered, "You're so arrogant?"
The Tree Demon's laughter grew louder, shaking the entire forest. Green light swirled wildly on the vines. "Foolish! You have no idea how powerful we Extraterrestrial Races truly are. You humans are worlds apart from us, like mere minions! To be my servant is already a blessing!"
"You really think that you humans are the masters of this Blue Star? That's a joke! You humans are nothing more than livestock in our captive Breeding Grounds."
Chen Du didn't move, but asked, "Extraterrestrial Race? You also came to this world through the entrance?"
So, does that mean that tall, thin figure was also from Extraterrestrial Race?
The Tree Demon chuckled, "You humans have no idea how amazing Blue Star is. Many entrances have already opened, and many regions of other worlds are overlapping with Blue Star."
Before long, this place will become a battlefield for all the realms, and we will be its masters!
The Tree Demon raised a thick vine and pointed it at Chen Du, "I'll ask you one more time: submit to me, or die."
Chen Du simply replied with two words: "Arrogant!"
