A Lesson

Damn it! You deserve to die!

"!" The eyes of the Mantu Divine General filled with madness, mixed with shame, indignation, helplessness, and even deep fear.

"Mandala, is that enough?" The cold voice of the Strongest World Tree rang out.

As if drenched from head to toe in the sweltering heat of summer, the Mantu Divine General to finally recognize the situation. A deep sigh followed, and then the void gradually calmed down.

The two figures remained facing each other from a distance.

First, there was the mighty Mantu Divine General, but it seemed to have figured something out, and its aura gradually subsided. Second, there was the Strongest World Tree, radiating a vast and boundless aura. The former was completely overwhelmed by the latter, offering no chance of resistance whatsoever.

Looking at the Mantu Divine General above, Lu Yan'an's feelings were quite complicated. He knew that the Mantu Divine General had also received a complete Divine General Inheritance, and was Candidate Divine General, Universe Overlord- level existence! Just now, before the World Tree's Differentiation Clone -destructed, Lu Yan'an believed that the two black whirlwinds unleashed by the Mantu Divine General were something he couldn't possibly withstand. Yet, this attack, which seemed insurmountable to Lu Yan'an, was easily annihilated by the Strongest World Tree!

"This Strongest World Tree is too powerful. It easily broke through the Mantu Divine General's Strongest Secret Technique, which was practically Overlord's level," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "This Strongest World Tree has probably already stepped one foot into the realm of Universe Master."

Judging from the combat power currently displayed by this Strongest World Tree, even those powerhouses who have just broken through to the first-tier Universe Master probably couldn't do better. In other words, the combat power currently displayed by the Strongest World Tree is at the level of Universe Master!

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

However, the difference in their demeanor was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes. Especially now that the Mantu Divine General had deliberately withdrawn his aura, it was a clear sign of admitting defeat.

"World Tree, what exactly do you mean?" After a moment, the Mantu Divine General gazed at the Strongest World Tree not far away and spoke slowly. "If you are merely dissatisfied that I asked you for a branch through the Beast God, you could have simply refused. But you clearly promised the Beast Lord Shen, yet you are making things difficult for me here. To be honest, I don't understand."

"Watch your attitude, Manto!" the Strongest World Tree said coldly. "Your behavior before already greatly displeased me, but I didn't really hurt you because of Lord Beast Lord Shen! I hope that now that things are like this, you can recognize the situation on the field and stop using Lord Beast Lord Shen to intimidate me!"

The Mantu Divine General did not speak again; it simply stared intently at the Strongest World Tree before it with the horizontal eye between its brows.

The Strongest World Tree coldly replied, "Manta, don't look at me like that. As a Divine General who has traversed the universe, how could you not understand the principle of being at the mercy of others! Perhaps it's because you've had such a smooth journey to get here all these long Years that you've developed a misconception of invincibility."

"Fine, what's the point of arguing with someone like you who grew up in a comfortable environment? Here, take the stuff, get lost!" The Strongest World Tree's voice was very calm, but to it, it was full of insults. But what could it do? It couldn't win an argument, and it couldn't win a fight. What else could it do but endure it?

"Asshole."

"Damn it!" the Mantu Divine General gritted his teeth.

He was truly furious.

Who is he? He is the Universe Overlord! How difficult is it to receive the complete Divine General Inheritance? He did it! As a supreme Universe Overlord... he rarely suffers losses. Until today, the actions of this Strongest World Tree seem to have made him suffer all the losses he had never experienced in the first half of his life at once!

First, its killing move was easily annihilated by its opponent. Then, its Innate Secret Technique was completely blocked by Soul-type Supreme Treasure. Finally, it even endured the self-destruction of Divine Body spanning tens of thousands of kilometers! My god, the instantaneous self-destruction of Divine Body spanning tens of thousands of kilometers—if it hadn't had a low-level Supreme Treasure Armor protecting it, this attack would probably have annihilated it!

Even with the protection of the Supreme Treasure Armor, it still lost about 52% of its Divine Body! One can imagine what its fate would have been without the protection of the Supreme Treasure. And most importantly, the Strongest World Tree's verbal attacks were truly extraordinary, extremely poignant and realistic, to the point that it had no way to refute them and could only swallow its anger.

"The World Tree!" The Mantu Divine General stared intently at the largest and Strongest World Tree in the distance. "You're amazing! I can neither defeat you nor argue with you, and I hope you can continue to be this powerful in the future!"

"Do you even need to tell me that!" The Strongest World Tree's voice remained calm.

"I underestimated you before, it was my fault!" The Mantu Divine General stared intently at the Strongest World Tree, as if to forever remember this humiliation. "Next time, after I break through... I will go all out."

"Once I break through, everything will be different! Just you wait." The Mantu Divine General said no more, glanced one last time at the Strongest World Tree before him, then transformed into a Flowing Light and flew away swiftly, disappearing in a Teleportation.

"What's the rush? You forgot something!" The voice of the Strongest World Tree resounded throughout the entire Tree Island. The next moment, a stream of Flowing Light sped towards the place where the Mantu Divine General Teleportation, and then Teleportation after it. And what was wrapped in the Flowing Light was a section of crystal-clear World Tree branch.

Although the Strongest World Tree had been humiliating the Mantu Divine General before, since it had made a promise to the Beast God, it would naturally have to fulfill its promise! Presumably, after this incident, other powerful individuals who wanted to use the Ancestral God Religion Beast God to take advantage of the Beast God's branches would also restrain their ulterior motives.

A moment later.

"Boom..."

A magnificent and incredible aura emanated directly from the Strongest World Tree. The World Energy within hundreds of millions of kilometers around Tree Island instantly formed a vacuum, converging entirely in the air in front of Lu Yan'an, directly forming a huge facial outline. The surrounding world was also filled with that natural and harmonious aura of vegetation.

Between heaven and earth, the enormous head, composed of the World Energy and the Immortal Divine Power, coldly looked down upon the Demon Beast Clone.

The projection of the Strongest World Tree... has descended!

At this moment, the Demon Beast Clone was greatly alarmed. A quick glance revealed that... the world within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers was completely isolated from the outside world. Only the Strongest World Tree could have such a grasp of spacetime and time, and could wield such power with such ease.

Meanwhile, the other five World Tree, even when looking in Lu Yan'an's direction, could only see the usual lush vegetation and could not perceive anything special about the space below.

The enormous head hovered in the air, looking down at the Demon Beast Clone below.

"Human! You have quite the nerve! You actually dared to sneak over here to watch the battle between two Overlord -level powerhouses!" A cold voice resounded throughout the entire Tree Island.

The Demon Beast Clone was secretly alarmed.

The Strongest World Tree's control over this Tree Island is indeed terrifying. It's likely that I was noticed the moment I stepped onto the Tree Island, but because I was busy confronting the Mantu Divine General, I didn't have time to deal with it and therefore didn't expose it immediately.

Keep in mind that he had only sent Demon Beast Clone, yet this Strongest World Tree still directly referred to him as "human," clearly having seen through Lu Yan'an's true nature! Generally speaking, only beings at the level of Universe Master could do this, but the existence before him could also do it, which was truly unbelievable.

"Fortunately, he didn't attack immediately upon arrival," the Demon Beast Clone thought to himself. "It seems he still values his own status, and given his close ties with the Ancestral God Religion, he didn't directly harm me, the inheritor."
