Life Ancestor shook their trunk, their attitude arrogant and their tone equally hostile.
"Heh! You're going to be rude to me?"
Zhou Jun's expression gradually darkened, killing intent lurking in his eyes as he sneered, "What if I refuse?"
One had to know that Zhou Jun was now at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm, and in terms of actual combat strength, he could even contend with Chaos Realm experts!
A mere Life Demon God actually wanted to steal his treasure and threaten to be rude to him?!
Forget one Life Demon God—even ten Life Demon Gods here would get nothing!
Sensing Zhou Jun's anger, the Life Demon God could not help but frown.
Both were at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm. The Life Demon God naturally saw that Zhou Jun's cultivation was equal to their own. It was precisely because of this that they were wary and did not dare step forward.
If it had been some other, weaker Demon God, they would probably have already stepped in and killed them for their treasure!
But since they had come all this way, the Life Demon God was unwilling to give up just like that.
If it had been some other item, that would have been one thing, but from that great tree just now, they had sensed an immense amount of vitality!
If they devoured that treasure tree brimming with boundless life force, they would definitely advance further and might even break through to the Chaos Realm!
If they missed this opportunity, who knew when they would find another chance to break through!
"Fellow Daoist, how about this? I'll take a step back as well. Why don't we split that great tree between us, half and half?"
The Life Demon God knew it was impossible to claim the whole thing, since Zhou Jun was also at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm. But if they fought and alerted other Demon Gods, even more people might come to claim a share.
After considering it carefully, the Life Demon God felt it would be best to yield a little. That way, both sides would benefit, and with so much life force in that tree, even half would be enough for them to break through.
Hearing the Life Demon God's words, Zhou Jun could not help but flare up.
It was clearly something he had found. Why should he give them half?
And they were even putting on an act as though they were thinking of his interests?
Who the hell did they think they were?!
"Get lost! What half and half? The entire tree is mine. You won't get so much as a leaf! Keep whining, and don't blame me for getting rude!"
Zhou Jun snorted coldly, completely ignoring how the Life Demon God's expression instantly turned black.
Since their birth in Chaos, over all these countless yuanhui, this was the first fool who had dared to snatch something in front of them!
Did they not see the difference in their strength? They wanted half the World Tree? They were dreaming!
"Insolent! We are both at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm. I took a step back to show you respect, but since you refuse it yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Every Chaos Demon God was proud and arrogant. For someone like the Life Demon God, whose cultivation stood near the peak among all Demon Gods, this was even more so!
In their view, they had kindly considered Zhou Jun's position and asked for only half the treasure. Not only had he failed to appreciate it, he had even humiliated them like this. He truly did not know what was good for him!
If they did not teach him a lesson today, how would the other Demon Gods view them in the future?
As for whether they could defeat him?
What a joke!
They were among the most powerful Demon Gods. They knew every notable and powerful Demon God in all of Chaos!
Yet they had no impression whatsoever of the Demon God before them!
If so, then he was most likely merely a newly ascended Demon God!
What if a newly ascended Demon God was also at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm?
They were a veteran expert. Why would they fear him?
Unfortunately, the Life Demon God had been too far away to participate in the battle to subdue the Destiny Demon God.
Otherwise, they would never have dared speak to Zhou Jun like this!
After all, top experts like the Chaos Demon Ape and Ancestor of Slaughter, whom even they had to avoid, were respectful and cautious before Zhou Jun, scarcely daring to breathe. How could they compare?
However, reality had no ifs.
Rumble!
The Life Demon God struck first. A colossal net woven from branches brimming with life force descended from above, shrouding Zhou Jun!
Those vines were filled with boundless vitality. Even if severed, they would immediately regenerate. They were impossible to eradicate and impossible to cut apart completely!
This Life Net was Life Ancestor's signature ultimate move. Throughout all the years Life Ancestor had dominated Chaos, it had been utterly unstoppable!
Even veteran Demon Gods would suffer a terrible headache when facing the Life Net, much less some unknown newly ascended Demon God!
"Hahaha, brat, you're finished this time!"
Seeing the Life Net descend from the sky and completely envelop Zhou Jun, Life Ancestor began laughing wildly, their gaze at Zhou Jun filled with smug delight.
Just now, I offered to split it with you so we could part on good terms, but you refused. Now I won't leave you even half!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The vine net spread and expanded, densely interwoven into a colossal net that filled the heavens! Every vine carried concentrated life force, making it impenetrable and without the slightest gap!
