Amplifying the Life Tree

"Regardless, this is not a bad thing for me," Babata revealed a faint smile.

"With his exaggerated growth rate, perhaps it won't be long before he grows into a World Lord."

Apprentice, Planet-level, Star-level, Universe, Domain Lord, World Lord...

A World Lord was countless times stronger than a Star-level; even for him to groom Luo Feng to break through to World Lord would require 100,000 years, which showed how highly he regarded Yang Wu.

Yet, looking at the unmoved Yang Wu, Babata grew increasingly anxious.

In truth, there was another reason Yang Wu remained unmoved, aside from his breakthrough to Star-level.

What if he went in first, and Luo Feng followed—what would happen then?

In the void, Yang Wu continued to quietly perceive and absorb the transformation brought about by the True Mu Ya Crystal after breaking through to the Star-level First Order.

Actually, even with his bloodline and aptitude being quite good, absorbing cosmic energy from the universe to convert into Origin Force and telekinesis was far inferior to cultivating with True Mu Ya Crystals.

At most, after his aptitude improved, he could absorb True Mu Ya Crystals faster, and his absorption rate would be higher than those with the same cultivation level but lower aptitude.

"Based on the energy of the True Mu Ya Crystals, I should only need to absorb two more to raise my realm to the Star-level Second Order," Yang Wu smiled.

"In that case, I probably need just over 500 True Mu Ya Crystals to reach the Star-level Peak."

"Rumble!"

A muffled sound suddenly erupted from deep underground, as if an earthquake had occurred or something was scurrying through the subterranean rock layers.

At this moment, the entire Mist Island and the surrounding lakes began to tremble.

"Such a strong life fluctuation," Yang Wu revealed a hint of surprise. "It's not a Beast Emperor; it should be the Moyun Vine."

"Because of the underground interference, I only just discovered the Moyun Vine now."

"That being said... if even I only just discovered it, then without someone guiding it, its target should be Luo Feng underground, not coming specifically for me."

"After all, even if the Moyun Vine is brain-dead, it knows my strength is far greater than Luo Feng's."

"The Moyun Vine... although I don't care for this thing now, perhaps it will become even more terrifying after a ten thousand times amplification."

"If nothing else, selling it after amplification would fetch massive resources, enough to buy Earth without any issues."

Suddenly, a deep purple vine with a diameter of twenty-five centimeters swept frantically toward Yang Wu from the shattered rock layer.

The speed was extreme; if an ordinary Planet-level had come, they likely wouldn't have had time to react before being swept to their death.

But Yang Wu did not dodge or evade, casually unleashing his domain.

Within the domain, the Moyun Vine's tendrils struggled to move an inch.

Just like an ordinary person holding chopsticks, Yang Wu grabbed the thick, boundless black-purple vine with one hand.

Once caught by Yang Wu, the entire black-purple vine struggled and twisted frantically, yet it could not escape.

"Rumble~~~"

With the Moyun Vine unable to struggle free, the entire Mist Island began to shake violently.

Black-purple vines extended from the island one by one, each over 2,000 meters long—one, two, three... seven, eight...

"There should be 16 in total," Yang Wu smiled.

No matter how many black-purple vines swarmed to kill him, once they entered the space within hundreds of meters of Yang Wu, they were instantly trapped in his powerful Gold Domain.

Once the black-purple vines were caught in the domain, it was as if they had fallen into an endless quagmire, unable to break free.

Yang Wu formed his left hand into a blade and sliced lightly across the Moyun Vine.

The black-purple vine was immediately cut with a wound full 10 centimeters deep, but after only two or three seconds, the wound vanished instantly.

"Impressive vitality," Yang Wu's gaze sharpened.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the loot: Moyun Vine. Would you like to perform a ten thousand times amplification?]

"What the?" Yang Wu's mouth twitched.

In truth, Yang Wu had never tried capturing a monster alive, so he didn't realize that a Moyun Vine captured alive would count as loot...

But whatever, Yang Wu chose to amplify it anyway.

[Moyun Vine ten thousand times amplification successful, triggered a lucky critical hit. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Life Tree Sapling.]

He had never encountered a so-called lucky critical hit before.

However, because the reward obtained after this critical hit was too terrifying, he didn't pay attention to that detail.

"A Life Tree?!" Yang Wu was shocked.

If Yang Wu remembered correctly, Luo Feng had once plotted to acquire a World Tree in order to gestate his third clone!

However, the Life Gene Level of the World Tree was too high; even the Golden Horned Beast, having cultivated the Nine Kalpas Manual, could not gestate a World Tree as a clone.

Moreover, according to data, no life in the Original Universe could gestate a World Tree as a clone.

However, the Zu Shen Jiao's "Manduo Divine General" once begged for a branch from the strongest World Tree.

Manduo Divine General planted that branch in his God Spirit kingdom, and the branch eventually grew into a massive divine tree.

This divine tree, formed from the "World Tree branch," was also known as the—Life Tree.

The Life Tree could stabilize a God Spirit kingdom; the more stable the kingdom, the stronger the oppression and restraint would be if an enemy broke in, often ten or a hundred times stronger.

The Manduo Divine General of that time... relied on this trick to drag unbeatable enemies directly into his God Spirit kingdom.

With one signature move, he killed many enemies, which was how this news spread.

Logically, when a God Spirit is in their own kingdom, the kingdom's boost to them is usually only a few times their strength.

But with the Life Tree planted in their kingdom, it could make the kingdom's boost to the self stronger, while simultaneously forming a greater oppression on the enemy.

With the ebb and flow, it was equivalent to a hundredfold leap in strength.

From this, one could see how terrifying the Life Tree sapling was.

"Aside from amplifying the God Spirit kingdom, if I have the ability to create clones in the future, gestating the Life Tree as a clone would also be a good choice," Yang Wu smiled.

"I just don't know if my Life Gene Level as an ordinary person can gestate a Life Tree clone."

"Regardless, the Life Tree certainly cannot be brought out now because this thing is too terrifying; even a Universe Venerable would covet it."

Yang Wu was well aware of the principle that an innocent man treasures a ring and becomes a target, so the Life Tree could only temporarily remain in the System Space.

Of course, since Yang Wu did not obtain the loot by killing the Moyun Vine, the Moyun Vine still existed even after Yang Wu obtained the Life Tree through amplification.

As for the Moyun Vine before him, Yang Wu naturally looked down on it, but he still put it away.

Once he entered the universe, selling it would also fetch quite a few resources.

The Meteor Star.

Actually, Babata knew clearly even without looking that the Moyun Vine was far from being Yang Wu's match.

Setting aside his insight into the domain, his hard power at the Star-level alone was enough to crush the Moyun Vine.

The facts were indeed as such; Yang Wu easily suppressed the Moyun Vine, though he had indeed used his domain.

"He really did comprehend a domain, and judging by the intensity of the domain, it is already at the Domain Fifth Order!" Babata was shocked.
