World Tree

After completing the refinement, Old Ancestor Styx also entered the Formation Space. At first glance, he saw a towering tree standing between heaven and earth, its branches blotting out the sky and its leaves eclipsing the sun. At a single look, it seemed as though even the world appeared tiny before it! However, a deep axe mark on its trunk ruined its imposing presence!

Because of that axe mark, even though the World Tree desperately absorbed Innate Spiritual Qi to replenish itself, wisps of its origin essence still leaked out through the mark. As a result, the space was filled with countless auspicious rays, and Spiritual Roots and spiritual medicines covered the ground. Among them were quite a few high-grade Spiritual Roots. After all, at the peak of its existence, the World Tree had been a Chaos Spiritual Root at least comparable to a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Although, because of Great God Pangu, it had fallen from its divine altar before reaching its peak, it still could not be compared to an ordinary Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root! It was easy to imagine how great an effect the essence leaking from it would have on Spiritual Roots of lower grades!

Old Ancestor Styx did not rush to take the World Tree or comprehend the Pangu Axe Light within it. After all, he had no idea what might happen later, so he would first collect the other things! After some thorough plundering, even a layer of ground had been stripped from the entire Formation Space. Old Ancestor Styx had also obtained quite a substantial harvest, making up for the regret he had felt over finding no treasures since traveling through the Great Wilderness!

Among them was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Void Nether Treasure Tree. It had transformed from a section of the World Tree's trunk that had been chopped off. Because it periodically absorbed the essence leaking from the World Tree, it had successfully reached the level of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root! It contained the Space Law, blossomed once every thirty thousand years, and bore fruit once every thirty thousand years! Each time, it produced only nine fruits, which could help people comprehend the Space Law! This alone made it worthy of being called a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure. After all, a saying had always circulated throughout the Great Wilderness: space was king, and time was supreme. Moreover, the tree contained a vast space...

Besides the Void Nether Treasure Tree, there were more than a dozen high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, several hundred mid- and low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and large amounts of various spiritual materials. With this harvest, the foundation of the Nether Blood Sea had increased by a great deal!

After finishing his plundering, Old Ancestor Styx sat cross-legged before the World Tree and began comprehending that axe light. The moment Old Ancestor Styx stared at the axe light, he seemed to return to the time when Pangu Creates the World. He felt that every axe strike from Pangu was filled with Dao Resonance, and that a single glance brought endless insights. The aura of the Dao on his entire body grew increasingly distinct. If the Karma Red Lotus had not trembled at the critical moment and jolted Old Ancestor Styx awake, he might have transformed into the Dao and vanished.

He gently stroked the Karma Red Lotus to express his thanks, while a wave of lingering fear filled his heart. His cultivation was still too low. The Dao of Great God Pangu was not something he could comprehend with his current cultivation!

Gathering his thoughts, Old Ancestor Styx forced out a drop of Essence Blood and sprinkled it into the Pangu Axe Light. The Pangu Axe Light flashed brilliantly, detached itself from the World Tree, and entered Old Ancestor Styx's body. At that moment, Old Ancestor Styx also learned the function of the axe light. Keeping it in his body could help temper his Pangu bloodline, and once his cultivation grew stronger, he could comprehend the axe light himself!

After comprehending the axe light, Old Ancestor Styx turned his gaze toward the World Tree. With the departure of the Pangu Axe Light, the World Tree also began ravenously swallowing Innate Spiritual Qi to repair its damage. At this rate, it would recover before long!

Under Old Ancestor Styx's gaze, the World Tree also shook its branches to express its joy. Although it resisted the Pangu bloodline, the World Tree could also sense the Chaos Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth gradually growing thinner. Previously, it had been able to resist the erosion of the Pangu Axe Light only by absorbing Chaos Spiritual Qi. If Old Ancestor Styx had not appeared, then once all the Chaos Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi, the World Tree would likely have had its origin obliterated and been erased from heaven and earth. As he stroked the World Tree, Old Ancestor Styx discovered that its current grade was only at the level of a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure. If it wanted to recover to the level of a Chaos Spiritual Root, it would probably have to enter chaos. He stored the World Tree in his Sea of Qi to nourish it, and immediately felt the Chaos Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth surge toward him, more than ten times greater than the amount he had absorbed before. It truly deserved to be a Chaos Spiritual Root that had grown in chaos. Even after its grade had fallen, it was still extraordinary...
