Wow!
Kasuyi seemed to become ethereal, instantly dodging a magical energy beam from his opponent, completely unconcerned about the battle unfolding near Hila.
Hila's rank isn't at the Peak Beyond Grade A, but in the eyes of many Beyond Grade A, including Kasuyi, she is one of the most troublesome Beyond Grade A. Not only can she shorten one's lifespan, but she also has a bound healer, making her practically an unkillable cockroach. Even if others are powerful, no one wants to provoke Hila.
Kasuyi refocused his attention on his opponent, his eyes narrowing slightly. His invisible psychic power, like thousands of needles, delivered a high-level mental blast to his opponent. However, it seemed to have hit a solid barrier. Most of the power was deflected by his opponent's Psionic Defense spell, turning into chaotic mental disturbances that spread outwards. This immediately triggered the mental defense barriers of large numbers of warships, and the mental barriers of the first ring of warships to be hit were shattered by the aftershocks.
The opponent was not to be outdone. With a surge of energy, magic circles appeared and coalesced into a spherical shell. All sorts of unique spells poured out, dazzling and colorful. The dense wave of spells bombarded Kasuyi, and the fighting style was more like a spell turret style with firepower coverage.
"Such a smooth flow of magical energy, without a single flaw..."
Every cell in Kasuyi's body came alive, his eyes gleaming brightly as he fought while observing his opponent.
Although he wasn't Mage Class superhuman, he was still knowledgeable in the field. He could tell at a glance that the other party possessed extensive combat experience and was an extremely powerful magician. The combination of spells was effortless and smooth, giving him the impression that the other party was well-rounded in both offense and defense, forming a seamless whole.
Moreover, the World Tree Connection provides an extremely high boost to mental power. Unless one has overwhelming strength, a psychic is actually at a disadvantage when dealing with World Tree expert, especially in a contest between people of the same level. Kasuyi discovered that the opponent's mental barrier was extremely thick, and every mental attack was difficult to penetrate, as if it were indestructible.
"This guy seems to be a high-level Ancestral Spirit..."
Kasuyi adjusted his vision and saw a mark on the other person's forehead.
Black Star had previously explained the composition of the World Tree's powerful group to help them distinguish them, and the Ancestral Spirit had a distinctive feature in their appearance: they possessed special markings that made them easy to identify.
He was currently fighting against one of the Thirteen Ancestral Spirits of the World Tree, ranked second, whose strength was quite high among the World Tree, not much weaker than the three-leaf and four-leaf executives.
Just as Kasuyi was observing, the Second Ancestral Spirit suddenly spoke:
"I recognize you. You're the one who killed Manny."
"Manny?"
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Kasuyi's eyes flashed, and he immediately realized that it referred to the Sacred Tree Envoy whom he had killed some time ago.
The Second Ancestral Spirit said calmly, "I enjoy strong opponents. You are a worthy ally, and I hope you can give me my fill."
"..."
Kasuyi raised an eyebrow.
We were fighting to the death, how did we suddenly start chatting?
He glanced at the chat channel of the temporary Beyond Grade A team and found that most of the people had been spoken to by the World Tree powerhouse, which seemed to be intentional on their part.
Upon further reflection, Kasuyi understood somewhat.
' The World Tree's powerful members have a different mindset than us. They know they won't truly die in battle, so they're fearless and relaxed, while we're on high alert, our nerves taut. So their initiative to speak is probably a psychological tactic, trying to influence our mindset... On the other hand, perhaps their move is also an attempt to deepen the information entanglement and gather intelligence—why not... It's better not to answer.'
Kasuyi's mind raced, and he abandoned the idea of responding. After leaving a message in the chat channel saying "Do not reply," he buried himself in dealing with the Second Ancestral Spirit. Telekinesis and magic flew everywhere, going back and forth in a dazzling display.
A Astral Spirit Dragon soared across the battlefield, its eyes like blazing crimson-gold flames. Its Massive Body, as large as a flagship, was incredibly conspicuous. With each flap of its wings, countless dragon-language spells were unleashed, stirring up waves of magical power. Layer upon layer of defensive arrays covered its body, making it exceptionally valiant. It was none other than the Dragon King Milizaus.
At this moment, a military commander was locked in combat with him. A gray meteor, which appeared rather small in comparison, was flying around the Old Dragon, launching continuous attacks. It was clad in heavy armor and constantly conjured various special firearms in its hands. It single-handedly unleashed a torrential rain of bullets, clearly a rare gunner.
The World Tree military department is responsible for external conquests, and the title of "Military Chief" means "the military's top combat force." Only the best among the military's Beyond Grade A personnel can receive such a title.
Each military commander has their own prefix code name, which generally depends on the unit number they belong to. At this time, the military commander who fought against the Old Dragon belonged to a World Tree Group Army called "Dark Light", and his name was Dark Light Army Commander.
The two fought fiercely, evenly matched, but because of his conspicuous size, Old Dragon became a target, drawing the firepower of most of the surrounding warships by himself.
Even when World Tree powerhouses who are fighting other Beyond Grade A enemies pass by, they will casually throw a few skills at Old Dragon —after all, the target is so big, the hit rate is extremely high, so why not take advantage of it?
For this reason, Milizaus suffered too much additional damage. His injuries continued to accumulate, large patches of his dragon scales were torn off, his flesh and bones were torn apart, and blood splattered Long Sky, making his situation increasingly dire.
Everyone, human or ghost, is showing off, while Old Dragon is getting beaten up.
Boom! A beam of light shot out from the cannon of the Dark Light Army Commander, piercing through the cracked defensive array and hitting the Old Dragon's back, shattering a large patch of scales and flesh, adding a new wound to him.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a creature like you. I wonder what your flesh tastes like." The Dark Light Army Commander fired his cannons while spewing trash talk.
Milizaus felt a sharp pain in his back. He swung his dragon head, opened his blood-red maw, and roared angrily. The sonic waves, formed from concentrated magic, struck the Dark Light Army Commander head-on, sending him flying.
However, instead of pursuing, the Old Dragon performed a spiral maneuver, flipping its body vertically. Suddenly, large areas of magical runes lit up on its surface. The next moment, it vanished from its spot and flashed to a battlefield not far away—a chaotic battle involving more than ten people was taking place there. It set its sights on a heavily wounded Sacred Tree Envoy who was trying to retreat under the cover of his companions.
Milizaus flashed behind the Sacred Tree Envoy, and before the other could turn around and make a hasty defense, he suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a breath of dragon breath, which was enhanced by dragon language magic. The breath was like shattered jade, and the crimson gold Flowing Flame surged out as if they were real, instantly engulfing the target.
In an instant, the body of the Sacred Tree Envoy melted, rapidly turning into a pile of ashes in its struggle, drifting and dissipating until it vanished.
Not long after the start of the war, the first casualty was killed!
"Die!"
Having secured the first blood, Milizaus immediately felt a surge of satisfaction and was in high spirits, fully revealing his true nature as a kill-stealer.
But his joy was short-lived; he was immediately attacked. Several powerful World Tree around him turned and focused their fire on Milizaus without saying a word, shattering large swathes of dragon scales and flesh, causing his life force to drain away rapidly.
At the same time, the Dark Light Army Commander also arrived, switching to Universal Treasure- level firearms to unleash a barrage of fire from a distance. Powerful beams of light bombarded the Old Dragon, exploding into bursts of flames, and even shattering one of Milizaus's dragon eyes, causing hot blood to spray out.
The surrounding warships also turned their cannons and focused their fire on Milizaus. He got the first kill, but was immediately targeted and put in danger, suffering serious injuries.
"Kill him!"
The Dark Light Army Commander saw an opportunity and was preparing to seize the moment and kill his opponent.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
Brush!
A dazzling white-gold light suddenly shot out from behind the Three Universal Civilizations' fleets, seemingly piercing through the chaotic battlefield, and landed precisely on Milizaus.
As a massive amount of life energy was poured in, the Old Dragon's battered body immediately began to repair itself. In just a few blinks of an eye, the dragon's severely injured body had recovered most of its strength and returned to its former vitality. With an excited flick of its tail, it playfully shattered several World Tree warships.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the World Tree, whose expressions changed slightly.
"A restorative ability?!"
Having fought across the universe for many years, the World Tree's powerful beings have seen and experienced a great deal. Restoration-type ability users are not uncommon, but those who can reach the Beyond Grade A are extremely rare. After all, restoration-type abilities are functional abilities, which are not naturally suited for combat, and their potential is mostly not high, making training and sublimation extremely difficult.
However, this time the hostile civilization not only has a healing ability user, but the healing effect is incredibly strong. It can restore a Peak Beyond Grade A life form in just a few moves. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest healing ability user they have ever seen!
"I never expected this prey to have such a hand of cards."
Many powerful figures from the World Tree changed their expressions, immediately realizing that something was wrong.
If we don't eliminate this healing-type ability user, the casualties will likely become extremely disparate, which will significantly diminish the effectiveness of this exchange operation!
"We must kill him first!"
A group of World Tree powerhouses quickly communicated through the Psychic Network, immediately abandoning their current opponents and gathering together to rush towards the location emanating from the life energy. Although it was the rear of the Three Universal Civilizations fleets, they had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
This is actually common to player tactics... after all, who wouldn't target the healer first in a team fight!
But at that very moment, several streaks of light suddenly shot out from the fleet, fearlessly meeting the numerically superior group of attackers head-on, and the two sides collided violently.
A flash of light, followed by a violent explosion that instantly halted the advance of the World Tree powerhouses.
The group of World Tree experts looked up and saw five Beyond Grade A life forms, their bodies shimmering with light, blocking their way, refusing to budge an inch.
"There was actually a group of people hiding there?!"
Seeing this, many powerful members of the World Tree were quite surprised, as they had assumed that their opponents' high-level combatants had all been deployed to the battlefield.
These five individuals, instead of feeling nervous looking at the numerous powerful World Tree beings, were eager to try their luck; they were none other than the five Netherland Heroic Spirit King.
The other three Heroic Spirit King, including Sorokin, did not appear. Aurora only sent five people, with the leading Heroic Spirit King being Rega is currently ranked second in strength.
"Hey, finally we can get out and about!"
Rega stretched his shoulders, and without saying a word, led the other four Heroic Spirit King in a charge, igniting a new round of chaotic battle.
Even though other Beyond Grade A beings knew of the Sanctuary Revival, they were unwilling to sacrifice themselves so easily. In contrast, the Netherland Heroes were truly fearless and reckless.
On the other side, the Three Universal Civilizations ' command ships.
Simon watched the battle between Han Xiao, Hila, and the Netherland Heroes, then glanced at the composed Aurora, shook his head, and sighed to himself from the bottom of his heart:
"Those who come from Planet Aquamarine... are all monsters."
Bang!
The Mechanical Deity and the Tranquil Tree King clashed once again, separating instantly and unleashing a violent shockwave.
"This outsider's skills seem to have improved even more since the last time we met..."
The Tranquil Tree King flexed his aching fingers; beneath his cold exterior lay a turbulent inner world.
Although neither side could gain the upper hand for the time being, after this exchange, he felt a long-lost pressure from Han Xiao. He had only ever experienced this unparalleled power from one person, and that person was the unfathomable Ancestral Tree King.
Unexpectedly, the chosen prey civilization possesses such advanced combat power; we've met our match!
Although he didn't really want to admit it, he had to face reality: he probably couldn't defeat this amazing outsider on his own.
Tranquil Tree King quickly scanned the battle situation. In the Psychic Network, the voices of six or seven of his companions had fallen silent, indicating that they had died in battle.
With the help of that healing-type ability user, the enemy suffered no casualties!
If this trend continues, wouldn't we be wiped out without a scratch?
This won't do!
We can't wait any longer!
The Tranquil Tree King' eyes darkened; seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately made a change.
Wow!
Suddenly, the Tranquil Tree King swiftly retreated, clutching his head and face with his hands, and opened his mouth wide as if to let out a painful roar.
The next moment, his whole body shone with an extremely dazzling green light, as if he had released the World Tree energy within him, and endless green light overflowed from his body.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, an overwhelming pressure erupted from him, as if some higher being had descended from the spot!
Green light spots quickly coalesced, transforming into translucent, pale green World Tree. At first, they resembled many small snakes, hovering around the Tranquil Tree King. However, these roots rapidly grew in size, soon expanding and whipping wildly across the battlefield!
The appearance of the Tranquil Tree King has also changed. His entire state is different. His body has become a material similar to the World Tree, with green World Tree power flowing through it in a semi-transparent state, as if he has undergone a transformation.
A powerful aura swept over us, like a suffocating gale!
Just now, the Tranquil Tree King mainly relied on his own combat power to fight, but at this moment, he began to borrow the power of the World Tree to a great extent - this is the World Tree ability that can only be activated by Tree King- level connection, and it is also the reason why the Tree King is the Tree King.
All of this happened in an instant. During the transformation of the Tranquil Tree King, Han Xiao never stopped firing long-range fire, but it was all blocked by the wildly dancing World Tree.
"Oh? You're unleashing your ultimate move?"
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
He was familiar with this transformation; it was a unique power of the Tree King, allowing his body to become a branch of the World Tree, resembling a temporary base station.
In his past life, whenever the Tree King activated this form, it was a sign that he was about to wreak havoc on all sides.
The most terrifying thing is not the increase in one's own strength from this transformation, but that the body transforms into a branch of the World Tree, which can bring a faction-exclusive buff aura with a very wide coverage, so that the combat power of all World Tree members on the battlefield is comprehensively increased!
This is the Tree King's war form!
