Zhang Junbao looked at the eerie Ancient Soul Tree before him, pondering a solution.
Although he was confident he could kill the Ancient Soul Tree, this would not only destroy a rare and Special Lifeform in the universe, but would also cause Qing Yan's teacher to be killed along with the Ancient Soul Tree.
Suppressing a special plant life form comparable to Immortal Level is more than ten times more difficult than killing it.
Zhang Junbao gradually enveloped the Ancient Soul Tree with Spacetime Mist, wanting to see if the Ancient Soul Tree had already recognized its master.
Like the Cloud-Touching Vine, the Ancient Soul Tree is not a complete life form; it can recognize other life forms as its master.
If he could make the Ancient Soul Tree recognize him as its master, the current problem could be perfectly solved. This would allow the Ancient Soul Tree to release Qing Yan's teacher, and Zhang Junbao would also be able to obtain the mature Soul Origin Golden Fruit at the top of the Ancient Soul Tree.
The Soul Origin Golden Fruit, which enhances Soul Amplitude, is far more precious to Zhang Junbao than any valuable material in the treasure vault. Although the materials in the treasure vault are extremely valuable, they are all meaningless if they cannot be transformed into his own strength.
The only treasure that can truly enhance his strength is what Zhang Junbao needs most right now.
After obtaining the Exquisite Jade, if he could further enhance his Soul Amplitude, Zhang Junbao would be almost equivalent to an Immortal with the speed of comprehending Law at the World Lord Level.
Aside from his physical Gene Level not reaching the Immortal Level, his strength in all aspects is no weaker than that of Immortal Expert.
But just as he spread the Spacetime Mist onto the Ancient Soul Tree, the entire Ancient Soul Tree seemed to be enraged. Its trunk emitted a strong light, and at the same time, all the leaves were vibrating rapidly, making a roaring sound.
"Damn it, this Ancient Soul Tree has an owner!"
Zhang Junbao hadn't expected the Ancient Soul Tree to react so strongly to his simple attempt. Furthermore, the fact that his soul imprint couldn't be applied proved that the Ancient Soul Tree had an owner.
"We have no choice but to suppress it by force!"
Now that things had come to this, Zhang Junbao abandoned the idea of taking things slowly. The Spacetime Mist instantly covered the entire Ancient Soul Tree, Control of Space-Time and completely suppress the Ancient Soul Tree.
" Qing Yan, bombard the points connecting the leaves!"
Zhang Junbao roared.
Qing Yan saw that the leaf that had trapped his teacher had been eroded by Zhang Junbao's Spacetime Mist, leaving only a tiny bit at the point where it connected to the tree trunk.
Instantly, a flaming heavy sword of extremely high temperature condensed in Qing Yan's hand, which slammed heavily into the base of the leaves.
" Flame Fury Blazing Flame Slash!"
The strike, imbued with the Power of Law of fire, completely shattered the connection between the leaves and the tree trunk, and the leaf that had trapped his teacher also fell away.
Zhang Junbao then used his World Ring to collect the leaf. The leaf of the Ancient Soul Tree was also part of its divine body, and ordinary storage rings could not collect it. Only World Ring that could contain living beings could completely trap a part of an Immortal Level divine body.
At the same time, the Ancient Soul Tree seemed to be completely enraged, emitting a series of booming sounds, and the souls connected to its other leaves were instantly absorbed by the Ancient Soul Tree.
A massive tree root burst from the ground and lashed out at Zhang Junbao. The root's power was terrifying, shattering even the surrounding space.
However, within the Space-Time Domain, Zhang Junbao was able to merge himself into the entire domain, instantly changing his position and dodging the attack of the Ancient Soul Tree.
At the same time, the Law within the Space-Time Domain operated, forcibly suppressing the attack of the Ancient Soul Tree.
"Almost, almost the teacher was completely absorbed like the other runes!" Seeing this, Qing Yan felt a wave of fear.
His teacher was trapped by the Ancient Soul Tree, becoming nourishment for the Soul Origin Golden Fruit, and was almost certainly going to die. Fortunately, Zhang Junbao unleashed a powerful force of Space-Time Law at the last moment, completely suppressing the Ancient Soul Tree, which gave Qing Yan the opportunity to rescue his teacher.
"Don't let your guard down, this Ancient Soul Tree has already notified its master!"
A plant that has already recognized its owner will naturally notify its owner immediately upon being attacked.
Zhang Junbao had cultivated the Cloud-Touching Vine before, so he was naturally very clear about the Ancient Soul Tree's reaction.
As a plant life form, the Ancient Soul Tree possesses terrifying power. Moreover, its attacks are not merely the Power of Law, but contain the power of the tree's very roots, forcefully blasting the space apart, which Zhang Junbao was unable to completely decompose.
As a last resort, he unleashed the power of the Spacetime Mist to its strongest extent.
" The Space-Time Sorrow!"
The powerful force of spacetime slowed down the Ancient Soul Tree's movements by half a beat, allowing Zhang Junbao to forcibly absorb it into an Ancient Soul Tree World Ring! At the same time, the Soul Origin Golden Fruit on the Ancient Soul Tree fell into Zhang Junbao's hands.
" The World Ring probably won't be able to hold it for long. The most terrifying thing is that the owner of this Ancient Soul Tree is coming soon!"
"Escape!"
Almost instantly, Zhang Junbao made his decision.
The Soul Origin Golden Fruit is extremely precious. Within the entire Ancestral God Religion, only the Cult Leader is qualified to become the master of this Ancient Soul Tree.
Zhang Junbao couldn't believe that the leader of the Ancestral God Religion would entrust such an important treasure to a subordinate.
Therefore, the Ancient Soul Tree must have already notified the leader of the Ancestral God Religion.
A terrifyingly powerful figure from the Golden Crow Hall, the guardian of the Virtual Universe Company, who wants to overthrow it. Even the other protectors in the Ancestral God Religion are all Marquis-level Immortal. So this sect leader has probably reached the King Level, or even the Peak King Rank.
It absolutely cannot be Universe Venerable. The Virtual Universe Company would never allow a Universe Venerable level powerhouse to exist on Viska Star. Zhang Junbao was certain of this.
The only possibility is that this cult leader has probably reached the Peak King Rank and wants to use the power of the Soul Origin Golden Fruit and the Exquisite Jade to break through to the Immortal Level and become Intermediate Universe Venerable or even stronger.
Now, both treasures are in Zhang Junbao's hands. Once the leader of the Ancestral God Religion discovers them, Zhang Junbao will have absolutely no chance.
A powerhouse at the Peak King Rank is someone he simply cannot contend with in his current state.
In just 001 seconds, a spaceship appeared in Zhang Junbao's hand; it was the Venerable Guiyi had given him.
He took Qing Yan and his teacher into another World Ring, and then quickly entered the spaceship himself.
" Feitian, quick!"
Start the spaceship and get out of here!
"Notify the Venerable Golden Crow, come to my rescue!"
Zhang Junbao did not hesitate. This was not the time to be arrogant and presumptuous. Even if he owed the Venerable Golden Crow a favor, he had to ensure his own safety.
As long as he's still alive, his gains on Viska Star have been immense, and he can repay the Venerable Golden Crow's favor later. But if he's a step too late and gets killed, then everything will be over.
"Boom!"
The spaceship quickly started up. As the spaceship used by Venerable Guiyi during his Immortal era, this spaceship, which was fused with the Void Whale, seemed to be able to compress space and instantly appeared outside the headquarters of the Ancestral God Religion.
"Here it is..."
Zhang Junbao saw that the outside world was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, and at the same time, a black whirlwind was roaring around him.
Huge corpses kept falling from above.
"The headquarters of the Ancestral God Religion is actually at the bottom of the God-Burying Abyss! No wonder it hasn't been discovered by the Ancestral God Hall for so many years."
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Ancestral God Hall on Viska Star, within the Ancestral God Tomb.
"Hahaha... I have finally obtained you, Ancestral God Lingxi. The most powerful part of the great Ancestral God, the Ancestral God Lingxi, containing all the mysteries of the Law."
With this, plus the Exquisite Jade and the Soul Origin Golden Fruit, what can even the Golden Crow Hall do to me!
Luok Sita, the leader of the Ancestral God Religion, laughed wildly. Over the years, he could have long since advanced to become Universe Venerable, but he knew that an ordinary Universe Venerable could not possibly be a match for the powerful figures in the Golden Crow Hall.
The moment he became the Universe Venerable was the moment he officially began his decisive battle with the Golden Crow Hall.
For this reason, he has been scheming for so many years, just waiting for the birth of the Exquisite Jade or the ripening of the Soul Origin Golden Fruit.
Only by collecting these three treasures can we defeat the Golden Crow Hall in one fell swoop and announce the return of the Viska Star People to the entire universe.
"Huh? The Ancient Soul Tree has been attacked!"
How could this be? Someone actually entered the Holy Church and attacked the Ancient Soul Tree. Where is the Flame God? " Luok Sita went to the Soul Stele that the Flame God had left here.
Each protector of the Ancestral God Religion leaves a soul stele with him, so that Luok Sita can keep track of their situation.
"It's an unclaimed item! Who killed the Flame God? So, the Exquisite Jade is also in trouble. Damn it!"
Luok Sita roared as he split apart.
His plan was flawless. After thousands of years of hunting, the Soul Origin Golden Fruit, nurtured by the Ancient Soul Tree, had ripened, and the Exquisite Jade was born through a blood sacrifice.
Now that he has obtained the Ancestral God Lingxi, everything is proceeding perfectly according to his plan.
But now he discovered that the Flame God he sent to seize the Exquisite Jade had been killed sometime earlier.
Even the Ancient Soul Tree hidden within the Ancestral God Religion was attacked; the target was likely the mature Soul Origin Golden Fruit.
"Could it be an arrangement by the Ancestral God Hall? Impossible. Even if it were that old fellow, the Grand Elder, he wouldn't have carried out this plan without my knowledge!"
I'd like to see who dares to ruin my grand plan!
"My Lord, what's wrong?"
"The Holy Church has been attacked! The Ancient Soul Tree has sent me a distress signal. I'm heading there first; you all need to follow immediately!"
After saying that, Luok Sita vanished instantly.
Teleportation, an ability that only a few King Level powerhouses can master, is the ultimate expression of their understanding of the Space Law.
Zhang Junbao's mastery of the " Ten Thousand Line Flow " is divided into several stages, from the initial Nine Line Flow to the Hundred Line Flow, and then to the Ten Thousand Line Flow. Above the Ten Thousand Line Flow is the legendary Teleportation.
However, Teleportation is extremely difficult. Even though Zhang Junbao has mastered the Ten Thousand Line Flow for quite some time, achieving Teleportation is still a long way off.
As a powerful being at the Peak King Rank, it's normal for Luok Sita to be able to comprehend Teleportation. After all, with his understanding of the Law, he could have already stepped into the realm of Universe Venerable.
A powerful being at the Peak King Rank can teleport several light-years away in a single Teleportation. Luok Sita first arrived at the Divine Bone Mountain, only to find it in ruins. The Flame God had vanished without a trace, and even the Exquisite Jade had disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had already returned to the treasury of the Ancestral God Religion.
"What? The entire Ancient Soul Tree is gone! The Ancient Soul Tree of Ancient Soul Tree is my plant life form. If anyone wants to take it away, they either have to kill it or forcibly suppress it."
But who on Viska Star has such power?
"Hmm? It's up there!"
Luok Sita's Spiritual Force quickly detected the spaceship within the God-Burying Abyss.
"That's... a spaceship, those damn extraterrestrials!"
Luok Sita roared in fury, instantly enraged!
An alien from outer space had actually broken into the headquarters of the Ancestral God Religion and stolen the Ancient Soul Tree and the Soul Origin Golden Fruit that he had painstakingly cultivated. How could he not be furious?
The next moment, Luok Sita appeared outside the whale-shaped spaceship.
"Boom!"
The terrifying attack penetrated the spaceship and instantly struck Zhang Junbao!
"So fast!"
Zhang Junbao's eyes widened. It was an attack from King Level Immortal, and even more so, an attack from Peak King Rank Immortal.
The attack penetrated the ship's interior by using the fused Metal Lifeform, the Void Whale.
If it weren't for the Divine Fire Armor he wore and the Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl given to him by the Chaos City Lord protecting his soul, he would probably have been blasted to death inside the spaceship by now.
"Luckily I had triple protection, otherwise I really would have been doomed if I went in!"
