The quiet, gray mountains stretch endlessly, devoid of any vegetation or leaves, only barren rocks. The only bright spot is the waterfall, which plunges from a great height into a pool below, from which the water flows in all directions along streams.

A stream babbles in a desolate canyon full of rocks.

Whoosh!

Lu Yan'an, dressed in plain white robes, appeared out of nowhere.

"Finally back!" Lu Yan'an smiled as he looked around at the desolate rocks. "Now that Mantu Divine General shouldn't be able to suddenly jump out again, right?"

Lu Yan'an still felt a lingering fear regarding the terrifying strength of the Mantu Divine General! If he could possibly defeat his previous opponents after giving it his all, he had absolutely no chance against this Mantu Divine General. He still couldn't understand why he was so unlucky as to encounter the Mantu Divine General on this Huangshi Island.

Although there are many dangerous places in the Jiuyou Space-Time, there are also some safe places, which at least provide a foothold for the inheritors. "Huangshi Island" is a well-known safe place. Over countless Years, no danger has ever been found on Huangshi Island, and no inheritor has ever been attacked by the terrifying beings of the Jiuyou Space-Time.

"Safety also means desolation. There's nothing but water and rocks! This is the safety of the natural environment, but it doesn't mean that this place is safe just because the natural environment is safe." Lu Yan'an shook his head.

Whoosh!

Transforming into a streak of silver light, Lu Yan'an flew swiftly above the mountains.

"There are still remnants left, which is quite merciful." Lu Yan'an looked down and saw some armor wreckage in the mountains. He shook his head inwardly. "If I weren't quite capable, all the Supreme Treasure I possess would probably have changed hands long ago, and I probably wouldn't even have a trace of my own left!"

Although Huangshi Island is the safest place in the entire Jiuyou Space-Time, free from the terrifying beings among the original inhabitants of the Jiuyou Space-Time, it is still common for the inheritors to fight and kill each other for treasures.

It flew over 100 million kilometers.

"Ha!" As Lu Yan'an crossed the highest mountain range, he saw the scenery in the distance that captivated him.

"So beautiful," Lu Yan'an exclaimed.

Standing atop one of the highest peaks of the Huangshi Island, Lu Yan'an gazed into the distance. Beyond the island stretched an endless ocean, its horizon seemingly endless. At first glance, it appeared azure, then turned purple, followed by blood red, before becoming transparent like crystal, then golden yellow, silver white, dark gray, and finally azure blue...

The colors constantly change, a wondrous Wushuang.

"This is the Nine Nether Sea," Lu Yan'an sighed.

The Jiuyou Space-Time is mainly an endless ocean, on which are islands of varying sizes, inhabited by native inhabitants. Some islands are inhabited by terrifying beings, such as the "World Tree," which is located on one such island. That island is also incredibly large and was named "Tree Island" by the inheritors.

Huangshi Island is incredibly small, one of the most common small islands among the thousands of islands in the Nine Nether Sea.

Tree Island, however, is much larger, ranking among the top ten super islands in the Nine Nether Sea.

"The Nine Nether Sea is vast and boundless, but it is also fraught with danger," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "Besides those super islands, the Nine Nether Sea is also terrifying, especially the Jiuyou Whirlpool. It is said that once you fall into the Jiuyou Whirlpool, there is almost no hope of surviving."

Lu Yan'an looked up and gazed in a certain direction.

Based on the coordinates, that direction was the direction of Tree Island, but the distance was too far; he could only see the Endless Ocean, but not Tree Island.

"Hmm? What's going on? There are faint spatial and temporal disturbances in this direction. Could it be that powerful beings are fighting?" Lu Yan'an's gaze was fixed on the direction of Tree Island, sensing the subtle spatial and temporal disturbances. Being able to feel the turbulence caused by the battle even on the distant Black Stone Island made Lu Yan'an feel an even deeper sense of awe for the word "powerful beings."

"The original text records that the 'Mantu Divine General' of the Ancestral God Religion once demanded a section of the World Tree's rights from the Strongest World Tree. The Mantu Divine General planted that section of the tree branch in his own God Kingdom, and the branch grew into a giant divine tree. This divine tree formed from the 'World Tree Branch' is called the Life Tree. Could this be the battle we're talking about?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yan'an's eyes lit up slightly. One of his purposes in going to Tree Island was to observe the Strongest World Tree's attack in order to determine the attack pattern of his World Tree Clone. If it really was a peak battle between the Strongest World Tree and the Mantu Divine General, his World Tree Clone could indeed learn a lot.

"Then we'll have to rely on the Demon Beast Clone to investigate the situation! And even if the Demon Beast Clone is destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the two Overlord, its Divine Body will recover very quickly." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly.

Whoosh, Lu Yan'an in black, appeared out of thin air beside him.

Lu Yan'an, dressed in black, transformed into the appearance of an inheritor. Immediately afterward Teleportation, his Kong Yu Clone used Teleportation, easily crossing the Nine Nether Sea and arriving at the Tree Island.

"Just waiting for news." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly, then quickly flew into a cave on one of the mountain peaks, activated his miniature detector to hide, and was ready to share the memory perspective of the magical beast Lu Yan'an at any time.

High in the sky.

The Demon Beast Clone stood suspended in mid-air, gazing at the endless, enormous islands hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

"So beautiful. Compared to this, the Huangshi Island is utterly hideous. Yet this place, resembling a fairyland, is so terrifying." The Demon Beast Clone squinted, gazing at the beautiful scenery of the Tree Island. The Tree Island was covered with all sorts of plants, practically a paradise for flora. Various flowers and grasses bloomed everywhere—a sea of purple blossoms here, a sea of rainbow flowers there, or waves of leaves...

The scenery is absolutely beautiful.

The most dazzling thing was that towering tree. It was the tallest tree, its entire body emerald green, and its canopy was like a canopy. Every leaf was crystal clear, as if carved from a crystal, like a piece of emerald green. It contained an endless life force, causing countless flowers and plants around it to sway.

However, at this moment, it was the towering tree in front of them that emitted a terrifying spatial fluctuation. Even though they were outside the Tree Island, the Demon Beast Clone could feel the tense atmosphere on the Tree Island.

The Demon Beast Clone immediately spotted the other World Tree surrounding the Strongest World Tree, varying in height, the taller ones being Immortal Level and the shorter ones World Lord Level. Even the World Lord Level ones were 60 million kilometers tall... exceeding the height of any other non- World Tree plant life on this Tree Island. Even from a distance, the Demon Beast Clone could still sense the incredibly terrifying size of the World Tree. Even a World Lord Level World Tree, controlling spacetime, could easily annihilate a King Level Immortal.

"The strongest being on Tree Island is the World Tree, but there are also other plant life forms, including Immortal Level, and according to the information, there are even plant life forms at the Universe Venerable level. It's just that because of their different species, they are much smaller than the World Tree and seem inconspicuous. But if I enter Tree Island, I might be attacked if I'm not careful."

"Generally speaking, before entering Tree Island, I need to make ample preparations and avoid other plant life. However, right now, the Strongest World Tree should be in a standoff with the Mantu Divine General. The life forms on the Tree Island have probably already left their rooted places for safety and are shrinking back to avoid being affected by the aura of these two powerful beings. Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any plant life on the Tree Island that would attack me! So I might as well be Teleportation and teleport to the Tree Island."

The Demon Beast Clone no longer hesitated.

"Whoosh!"

He Teleportation directly into the Tree Island.

As for why Lu Yan'an didn't just Teleportation to the vicinity of the Strongest World Tree? Please, this is just Demon Beast Clone! Although it can share the main body's understanding of the Law of Space for Teleportation, it's still just a regular Immortal Level Teleportation. The spatial fluctuations caused by this kind of Teleportation would be so great that if he went in, he would probably be detected directly by the World Tree and that being suspected to be the Mantu Divine General. At that time, the situation might turn into a righteous two against one! And don't misunderstand, Lu Yan'an is the "one"!
