The Mantu Divine General and the Strongest World Tree stand facing each other from afar.

Both of them were terrifyingly powerful Overlord, and both belonged to the Ancestral God Religion. Although they had no prior interaction, they had long heard of each other's great names. The Strongest World Tree, in particular, was a terrifying existence known as the crown of Special Lifeform. While the name of the Mantu Divine General was not as resounding as that of the Strongest World Tree, he was still a well-known figure within the Ancestral God Religion Sect.

"World Tree, I really don't understand! The Beast Lord Shen clearly agreed, and you yourself didn't have any objections before. But when I actually came, you delayed in every way possible. What do you mean by that?" Mantu Divine General angrily at the enormous World Tree in the distance and spoke furiously.

"Since I promised to give you a branch, I will naturally do so. But you are using the Beast Lord Shen's orders to force me to hand over a branch, which makes me very unhappy! If anyone else tries to ask me for a branch in this way, should I give it to them or not?" the Strongest World Tree retorted coldly.

"So today, I will give you the branch, but you need to pay the price for your actions!" The cold voice of the Strongest World Tree echoed throughout the entire halo, a stark contrast to the gentle tone he had used when speaking to his children earlier.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." A black aura was reflected in the horizontal eye between the foreheads of the Mantu Divine General, and as time went by, the black aura around its body became increasingly turbulent.

The Strongest World Tree coldly replied, "Manta, you were never my match to begin with. You probably lost at least 5% of your Divine Body during our first clash, right? I advise you not to resist anymore and just let me ravage you. Once my anger has subsided and your negative reputation has spread, then I'll give you a branch of mine!"

"Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? It saves face for the Beast Lord Shen and prevents others from daring to touch my branches!" The Strongest World Tree's words carried a hint of mockery and ridicule.

"Asshole."

"Damn it!" Mantu Divine General gritted its teeth. How could it not hear the mockery in the Strongest World Tree's words? But as a fellow Universe Overlord, how could it obediently surrender to a beating based solely on a few intimidating words?

The strong all possess their own pride! Although sometimes this pride may seem useless, it's precisely this kind of pride that the strong in this universe value most!

Who is he? He is the Universe Overlord! How difficult it is to receive the complete Divine General Inheritance! He did it! As the Universe Overlord... he rarely suffers losses, and even when he does, it is usually at the hands of the Universe Master.

You have to understand, when he dealt with Lu Yan'an before, he was just toying with him and didn't use any of his strength at all! Even when he got serious later, he chose to use Lu Yan'an's most proficient Soul Attack as his method of attack, and even that almost exhausted Lu Yan'an to the point of exhaustion.

If he hadn't used the Nine Nether Sea as cover to buy a second of time, and then used the Innate Secret Technique of Kong Yu's Clone to ignore Space Lockdown and successfully escape by Teleportation, Lu Yan'an's past would probably have been exposed by this Mantu Divine General.

They'd pushed him to this point, and yet a mere World Lord had still managed to escape! This was something Mantu Divine General still couldn't understand. For an Overlord like himself to let a World Lord escape right before his eyes was simply unforgivable! The humiliation of losing Supreme Treasure, coupled with the mocking taunts of the Strongest World Tree, had completely ignited his fury!

"The World Tree!" The Mantu Divine General stared intently at the largest World Tree in the distant void. "This is outrageous! We are both Overlord- level powerhouses, yet you dare to try and humiliate me! Although my Divine Body is far smaller than yours, it is not something you can easily manipulate! Yes, your Divine Body is large, and I cannot defeat you in that respect, but you are not without weaknesses!"

"Then you can try my weakness!" The Strongest World Tree spoke very calmly, but beneath that calm lay a fierce killing intent.

"I admit I held back before." Mantu Divine General his horizontal eye on the World Tree. "This time I will go all out! Since you don't want to give it to me, then I'll have to take it myself!"

"World Tree... you're only relying on your larger Divine Body and more Supreme Treasure than me. Just wait and see." Mantu Divine General looked solemnly at the Strongest World Tree before him, then transformed into Flowing Light and quickly soared into the sky. His figure soon surpassed the canopy of the Strongest World Tree.

Immediately, Venerable Mantu flipped his right hand, and a crystalline round crystal resembling an eyeball appeared in his hand.

"I certainly can't outlast you in a battle of attrition, and with your Innate Secret Technique to Control Space-Time, I'm far from being your match in the struggle for spacetime authority. However, I possess a high- Domain-type Supreme Treasure — the Futuo Realm. With its help, your Control Space-Time will be utterly useless!"

Although both are Universe Overlord, Mantuo Zun is from one of the powerful clans of the Northern Territory Alliance. There are many clans in the Northern Territory Alliance, and with the resources allocated, this high- Domain-type Supreme Treasure can be considered all of Mantu Divine General's possessions.

The Strongest World Tree, however, comes from the Ancestral God Religion. The Ancestral God Religion is the number one power in the Primal Universe, possessing numerous treasures. Naturally, it cherishes its own internal powerhouses even more... The Strongest World Tree possesses four Supreme Treasure, forming a perfect combination. With its control over spacetime and these four Supreme Treasure... if the Strongest World Tree were to go all out to deal with this Venerable Mantu, it would be a very easy matter.

But after all, Venerable Mantu came with the orders of the Beast Lord Shen. It could make things difficult for him at this time, but it couldn't let him really die. The Guardian Beast God, had to be respected no matter what.

"Manta, is this the weakness you discovered in me? Control Space-Time? You don't actually think you can hurt me just because my ability to Control Space-Time is restricted, do you?" The Strongest World Tree transmitted its strange voice.

"Ha, we'll see!" After saying that, Venerable Mantu said no more.

"Kill!" Immediately, a cold glint flashed in its largest horizontal eye, followed by a sudden low groan. Two black whirlwinds suddenly appeared around its body. The two whirlwinds... resembled two miniature black dragons, intertwining and frolicking with each other. As time passed, they slowly enveloped the entire Divine Body of the Mantu Divine General, accumulating power. After a moment, it seemed that the power accumulation had reached its peak, and the two black whirlwinds flew directly towards the Strongest World Tree below at a terrifying speed.

These two intertwined, playful black winds emanated no pressure, yet wherever they passed, all Space Fragment vanished into thin air.

In a secluded corner, Lu Yan'an, disguised as dust, quietly observed the ultimate clash between two Overlord- level powerhouses. But when Venerable Mantu unleashed his move, Lu Yan'an was startled!

"That starting stance? Venerable Mantu must have intended to use this move on me too! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise my Supreme Treasure would have really changed hands." Lu Yan'an recalled the starting stance that Venerable Mandala had used when he fought him, and immediately stared intently at the two black whirlwinds like a frightened bird!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

After unleashing this move, Lu Yan'an felt an extreme sense of danger.

"If I were to be entangled by these two black winds, my human Divine Body likely be annihilated instantly." Although Lu Yan'an was far less powerful than the "Universe Overlord" in many aspects such as Combat Secret Technique, he still had a broad perspective. He had even created the "Strongest Secret Technique at the Overlord Level" himself! Therefore, he knew that if he had allowed the Mantu Divine General attack him without immediately running away, these two black winds would have caused the Supreme Treasure on its body to completely change hands!

"Now it depends on how the Strongest World Tree will deal with this. These two black whirlwinds are at least the Strongest Secret Technique at the Overlord level! If it wants to completely withstand them, the Strongest World Tree will probably have to pay a certain price!" Although Lu Yan'an himself also created the "Strongest Secret Technique at the Overlord level", the same secret technique will have completely different power in the hands of different people. Moreover, the gap between them is as vast as the chasm between Overlord and World Lord!
