A surge of martial arts energy ignited, and the Tree God's movements became even faster and stronger. He suddenly grabbed the incoming Emperor's Space-Rending Blade, stopping its momentum and trapping it in mid-air.
At the same time, roots shot out from the Tree God's body with a whooshing sound. The ends curled up and coiled up as if tied in a knot, resembling a hammerhead. Like thousands of fists, they launched a fierce barrage of attacks on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body.
The countless "fist shadows" flashing with green light pierced through the combined shield constructed by the mechanical legion, bombarding the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body, causing continuous vibrations and cracks to appear.
The energy surged from the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's back, unleashing a rainbow-like green shockwave that continued its relentless force, shattering warships behind him with incredible speed and Strike the Ox Across the Mountain.
"His melee abilities have greatly increased; this must be due to the sacrifice of the crown of the Tree King in the town, right?"
Han Xiao calmly analyzed the impact on his body, sensing the force of the attack.
He had seen the [Tree King Crown - Release] move when he was extracting the Tree God's power Tree God hadn't used this skill during their last encounter, but he witnessed it this time.
Seeing the actual effect, Han Xiao felt a sense of familiarity, as if this move was somewhat like a character card, used to obtain the super-power system stored in different Tree King Crown.
"The World Tree has five... no, there are currently four Tree King Crown, which means the Tree God can unleash its full power at least four more times. With its power constantly accumulating, its final combat strength is estimated to be astonishing, and this doesn't even take into account whether the Tree God has other explosive abilities."
Han Xiao quickly made a mental calculation.
When the Tree God uses its one-time burst of power, the best approach is to avoid its attack, but the situation doesn't allow it... The High-Dimensional Apocalypse Teleporter is one-way, and if the main force wants to teleport back, a new set of teleporters needs to be set up here. Now that the main force is locked in a fierce battle with the World Tree, it's impossible to retreat halfway, otherwise many warriors would have sacrificed their lives in vain.
Moreover, Han Xiao also wanted to confront the Tree God head-on and fight him in his explosive state. After all, with his current level, it was difficult to find a worthy opponent. Now that he had finally encountered one, how could he not treat him well?
'Looks like I'll have to show you more of your true skills. Let me see just how many tricks you have up your sleeve.'
A glint of lightning flashed in Han Xiao's eyes.
He had known all along that the Tree God possessed the ability to unleash its full potential, but the Ancestral Tree King assumed he was unaware and intended to launch a surprise attack. However, he had already taken precautions.
On the other side, the Ancestral Tree King gripped the Emperor's Space-Rending Blade tightly, preventing Han Xiao's weapon from slipping out of his control. A continuous stream of power surged from his body, wrestling with the Supreme Heavenly Venerate Venerable and gaining a slight advantage, pushing Han Xiao back step by step.
Taking advantage of Han Xiao's inability to move, the Ancestral Tree King manipulated a large number of roots to launch a barrage of attacks on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate Venerable's wide-open chest and abdomen.
The mechanical legion also reacted and began to continuously block the Tree God's offensive. At the same time, the mechanical particles flowing on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body transformed into streaks of light, intercepting the roots midway with incredible speed.
Thump thump thump thump--
From afar, countless blurry streaks of light appeared around the two Beyond God Grade, intersecting and colliding with each other. Metal and tree roots clashed at a high frequency, and continuous shockwaves exploded in mid-air.
Your strength is now inferior to mine!
The Ancestral Tree King's expression turned fierce as he twisted the Emperor's Space-Rending Blade, channeling his power into his arm, preparing to unleash a follow-up combo.
However, in that instant, an overwhelming and terrifying force suddenly surged from the blade, instantly overwhelming his strength!
Boom!
The next moment, the Emperor's Space-Rending Blade, which had been frozen in mid-air, suddenly broke free from the Tree God's stance and slashed down. In an instant, it swept across the Tree God's shoulder to his waist, leaving a huge wound. The Tree God was almost cut in half with one strike.
"What?!"
The Ancestral Tree King was immediately terrified. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward and embraced Han Xiao, trying to use the power he gained after being released from his Crown rank to control Han Xiao and stop his subsequent attacks.
However, the result was far from what he had imagined. The Tree God was pinned down and brutally tortured by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate Venerable, almost being dismembered as if by a thousand cuts... The power brought by the sacrifice of the Pugilist Class Grand Master was still suppressed by Han Xiao!
The Ancestral Tree King was horrified. He had barely managed to unleash his martial arts aura to escape. The Tree God's body was already tattered and mangled, with countless pieces of its newly grown flesh and blood being cut off. It was in the process of recovering.
Han Xiao casually severed the roots of the World Tree that were blocking his pursuit, gazed at the Tree God from afar, and clicked his tongue in apparent dissatisfaction.
"So much bragging, and this is all the quality they've got?"
"You..."
Sensing Han Xiao's ever-increasing energy level, the Ancestral Tree King's expression turned grim.
He thought that by using Grand Release, he could turn the tables and gain the upper hand, but reality gave him a slap in the face. He didn't expect that even after unleashing his power, he was still no match for Han Xiao, whose combat strength was also continuously increasing.
Ancestral Tree King gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Don't get too excited, I haven't reached my limit yet!
The words had barely left his mouth when the Secret Tree King shattered with a bang!
The release of new Source Force is like adding fuel to the core furnace of the Tree God, pushing the energy level to new heights!
Countless profound magical knowledge suddenly flooded his brain. At the same time, large areas of intricate and complex magical circuits appeared on the surface of the Tree God's body, forming enchanted runes.
In an instant, the power of a Grand Mage Class was also bestowed upon the Tree God!
The Tree God's domain expanded once again, almost squeezing out the Void Domain!
"Aaaaaaah--"
An even greater burden descended, causing the Ancestral Tree King's mental strength to surge once more, but also bringing him more intense pain. His soul emitted uncontrollable wails, and his emotions intensified further.
He endured the excruciating pain, mobilized his newly acquired strength, and launched an even stronger offensive against Han Xiao.
Rumble--
The surging magical power formed a dense array of forbidden spells, almost draining the free energy from the surrounding battlefield. It transformed into a seven-colored, intense light that instantly engulfed Han Xiao's entire body, its brilliance containing extreme lethality.
While maintaining the magical bombardment, the Tree God charged into the exploding light, chasing after the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body. Its fists and roots, imbued with astonishing martial arts aura, continuously struck Han Xiao, producing booming explosions!
The Ancestral Tree King, its eyes bloodshot, relentlessly attacked, attacked, and attacked again!
"Black Star! I will never let you destroy my civilization!"
The roaring mental waves swept across the battlefield, instantly moving countless people!
But at that very moment, a dense aura of Extreme Path Style suddenly erupted in front of him.
Buzz!!
Before the Ancestral Tree King could react, a chilling light suddenly shone brightly. He felt a tremendous force strike his chest as the Emperor's Space-Rending Blade flew towards him and pierced straight into his chest.
The next second, the Ancestral Tree King found that his arm was firmly fixed in place. Not only that, all the roots that had been striking him suddenly stopped and could not be pulled out.
The light from the magical bombardment dissipated, revealing the appearance of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Han Xiao was surrounded by blood energy, gripping the Tree God's arm. Mechanical particles formed countless tentacles and limbs, densely extending from his back, precisely binding every World Tree, stalemate in mid-air, like bridges.
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate's power increased rapidly, soon surpassing the Tree God's second-stage Crown Liberation, making it impossible for the Ancestral Tree King to break free.
"You..."
The Ancestral Tree King stared wide-eyed.
Before he could make a move, Han Xiao suddenly headbutted him, making him dizzy.
Immediately afterward, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate grabbed the Tree God's arm and pressed him down, simultaneously bending his knee and raising his leg, delivering a powerful knee strike that shattered the Tree God's head, creating a green shockwave. Then, Han Xiao reached out and plunged his large hand into the gaping wound in the Tree God's head, all the way to his chest cavity, grabbing a tangled mess of roots and yanking it out, tearing out a large section of broken tree roots with a loud crash.
If it were a normal living being, its spine and internal organs would have been pulled out in one go. Even Tree God with a special body structure would feel terrible.
At this moment, Han Xiao pulled out the Emperor's Space-Rending Blade that was stuck in the Tree God's chest, and then used Virtual Genesis to create countless physical giant cannons around him, aiming them at the Tree God.
Rumble rumble--
A salvo of projectiles, with masses equivalent to countless planets, blasted the Tree God beyond recognition, sending splinters flying everywhere.
The terrifying kinetic energy propelled the Tree God tumbling and flying out, carving a blank area in the battlefield. Han Xiao followed closely behind, advancing all the way to the middle of the third defensive perimeter.
Only then did the Ancestral Tree King stop its retreat, activate teleportation, and hurriedly avoid Han Xiao's pursuit. It jumped a distance away and quickly summoned more World Tree to urgently repair its injuries.
Seeing this, Han Xiao flicked his blade and said casually:
"Is that all? Is there anything else?"
In terms of the quantity and quality of attribute enhancement abilities, few can surpass him. The Tree God has experienced two consecutive power surges, significantly increasing its combat strength, but it is still no match for him.
Although he had only recently reached the Beyond God Grade, once all the buffs were activated, his combat power could leap to an astonishing level. Han Xiao was unsure of his own level among the Beyond God Grade when he was at full power.
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Tree King became even more agitated, his mind filled with anger, astonishment, and resentment.
Sacrificing two Tree King Crown at such a high price, yet their combat strength is still inferior to Black Star's?!
The Ancestral Tree King was already in a bind. For him, a stalemate was meaningless. If he couldn't kill Black Star, the opponent could come back again and again. Now there was only one way to go, and that was to kill Black Star at all costs.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through his mind. The Ancestral Tree King glanced at the Mother Tree itself, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.
Seeing that the Ancestral Tree King did not answer, Han Xiao was about to continue his attack, but at that moment, the World Tree fleets around him charged towards him like madmen.
"Protect the Mother Tree!"
"Go! Buy the Tree God some time to breathe!"
"Fight for our homeland!"
Countless World Tree warriors roared and fought fiercely.
Seeing this, Han Xiao casually unleashed his firepower, annihilating wave after wave of approaching fleets. New troops followed to replenish the ranks, and numerous World Tree soldiers bravely faced their deaths, forming a defensive line with their lives to hinder his pursuit of the Tree God, all to buy the severely damaged Tree God even a second more to recover.
However, in the face of an absolute power disparity, the determination to die is meaningless; no matter how large the fleet, it will be completely annihilated under the Psionic Energy Wave.
Countless World Tree Familia swarmed in like moths to a flame, leaving behind rows of paralyzed warships, their interiors deathly silent, their crews almost entirely wiped out by the Psionic Energy Wave.
Han Xiao encountered almost no obstacles, stepping over the corpses of countless World Tree warships, heading straight for the severely injured Tree God. The enormous figure of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate exuded an aura of despair.
Seeing this tragic scene, many players who were engaged in battle were also moved.
"They should have been evenly matched opponents, but it felt more like an adult bullying a child..."
"Look at Black Star's art style, I'm a little confused. Which one is the villainous BOSS?"
"Keep it up, big brother playing with tree roots!"
Amidst the players' enthusiastic cheers, Han Xiao, with a devastating force, crashed heavily into the Tree God, who had not yet fully recovered, and propelled himself forward at high speed.
The Tree God seemed to have lost its ability to resist and could not stop Han Xiao's steps at all. The two were entangled together and broke through the third and fourth layers of defense. Before long, they reached the innermost fifth layer of defense. The World Tree, which supported this dimension, was still close at hand.
The eyes of the Interstellar Joint Army and the World Tree Fleet were all focused on this, and as Black Star approached the World Tree itself, everyone's hearts instantly tightened.
But at that very moment, the Tree God's green domain suddenly expanded.
Buzz!!
A burst of green light flashed, enveloping the two figures, then instantly shrank into a point of light, flickered briefly, and then disappeared.
The two were swallowed up and disappeared from the battlefield in full view of everyone; no detection device could find any trace of them.
This scene caught the Interstellar Joint Army completely off guard. Countless people felt their hearts skip a beat, filled with panic and confusion, not knowing what had happened.
At the same time, at the Interstellar Joint Army Strategic Command.
Simon lunged at the table, his emotions running high, his eyes wide as he stared intently at the signal point disappearing into the sand table, unable to hide his shock.
"Where's Black Star? Such a huge Black Star! Where did they both go?!"
