Chapter 3585 King Gu Xiao
"This is... the sacred tree that protects the nation!"
A powerful human being looked at the illusory image of the immortal tree, his expression changed instantly, and then he became very excited.
The sacred tree that protects the nation!
Many ancient cultivators in the Evergreen Realm are familiar with such beings.
However, over the years, this sacred tree that protects the nation has remained completely still.
did not expect.
This bizarre invasion.
This sacred tree, which protects the nation, manifests its divine power before people.
Moreover, that terrifying and vast power even made many immortal kings tremble with fear.
"The Divine Tree that Protects the Nation... This is His Majesty's method!"
Looking at the illusory image of the immortal tree that blotted out the sky, and the tree that covered the entire sky of the Evergreen Realm and strangled all the strange roots that tried to enter the Evergreen Realm, Zhou Yuan finally understood why the other side had ordered the army to withdraw.
Zhou Yuanzheng had seen this sacred tree that protected the nation more than once.
After all, such a divine tree exists within the Demon Suppression Division, and as its guardian, how could he not be familiar with it?
In the past, the National Guardian Tree had kept a low profile. Although Zhou Yuanzheng could tell that the National Guardian Tree was extraordinary, it was hard to say how powerful it truly was.
to be frank.
He had no idea either.
now--
The national sacred tree has made its move.
That power made him feel a little uneasy.
Zhou Yuanzheng could see that the National Guardian Divine Tree was indeed at the Immortal King level, but its foundation was far stronger than that of any other Immortal King.
Even though he has now reached the level of a late-stage Immortal King, Zhou Yuanzheng has no chance of winning against the National Guardian Divine Tree.
Take a deep breath.
Zhou Yuanzheng then went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Inside the palace.
In the imperial study room.
A middle-aged emperor sat there, and judging from his appearance, he bore a slight resemblance to Gu Xing, but his demeanor was different.
This is the current Human King of the Human Race—Gu Xiao!
Originally the sixth prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was a direct descendant of the ancient Xing Dynasty.
Later, when Gu Ling took control of the Eternal Immortal Court, the position of Human King fell to him.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"Zhou Qing is back!"
Gu Xiao looked at the person in front of him, and a smile finally appeared on his calm face.
"Zhou Qing, you've worked hard to resist this strange phenomenon!"
"The strange invasion has occurred. As the one in charge of guarding the area, it is my duty to do so. It is all my responsibility."
Zhou Yuanzheng didn't take credit, and shook his head as he spoke.
But as he finished speaking, he looked out into the void and asked, "Your Majesty ordered the army to withdraw to the Evergreen Realm this time, so that the National Guardian Divine Tree could take action."
But how long can the power of the national sacred tree withstand this strange phenomenon?
"The power of the national guardian tree is greater than you imagine. Now, the strange army is coming with great force, and our human race has already suffered heavy losses."
If we continue to fight to the death, we will only delay things a little longer.
Moreover, the soldiers have been fighting for years and are probably exhausted. There is no need to continue fighting.
"For now, we should retreat to the Evergreen Realm to recuperate and rebuild, and temporarily let the National Guardian Tree defend against the strange forces, so as to buy you all a chance to survive!"
Gu Xiao's smile faded. He rose from his seat and slowly walked out of the imperial study. Looking at the illusory image of the immortal tree that blotted out the sky, his expression was extremely solemn.
"This calamity is unavoidable. All we can do is exhaust all our resources to try and secure a chance for the survival of the human race."
The Heavenly Sect already has an ancient immortal who has ascended to the upper realm; perhaps that person from the past has a way to resolve the strange occurrences.
As for our human race, we only need to hold out until then!
Hear the words.
Zhou Yuanzheng fell silent.
Hold on until then!
It's easy to say, but whether we can really hold out until then is anyone's guess.
After all, no one knows what the current situation is in the upper realm.
The origins of these strange creatures remain unknown.
Zhou Yuanzheng was well aware of the matter of the Heavenly Sect member's ascension.
But in his view, it was a last resort.
Seeking help from the upper realm is a highly improbable endeavor, with a very low probability of actually finding hope.
But no way.
Without this glimmer of hope to sustain us.
The situation in the heavens will only worsen.
The news that an ancient immortal from the Heavenly Sect has ascended to the Upper Realm to seek aid has already spread throughout the entire heavens. Its purpose is to boost the morale of all races and make them fight to the last moment.
Most of the monks believed that they could hold out until the day when hope would come.
However, a few cultivators held no hope for this.
however--
No one has burst this bubble.
After all, without this glimmer of hope, the heavens would fall even faster.
Although Gu Xiao did not see Zhou Yuanzheng's expression, he seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the void.
Whether hope will come or not, no one knows, but we must not sit idly by and wait for death.
"To not fight is to die; to fight with all one's might is the only chance of survival!"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
These words greatly shocked Zhou Yuanzheng, and all the gloom that had been hanging over him was now completely dispelled.
indeed!
If you don't fight, you have no chance. As long as you fight, no matter how small the hope, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
……
The national sacred tree has made its move.
This undoubtedly allowed the human side to catch their breath.
For a full half month, the National Guardian Tree was fighting against the strange creatures. All its roots and stems were stained with filth and blood, and the entire Evergreen Realm was filled with a bloody smell.
Simultaneously.
The court side.
Many Celestial Kings also took action to suppress the corrupting forces in various places to prevent the accumulation of strange corpses from affecting other aspects.
no way.
These bizarre pollutants are so potent that if left unchecked, the subsequent impact will be significant.
but.
What is most astonishing is the power of the national guardian tree.
This battle.
This demonstrated to everyone just how terrifying the power of this national treasure tree truly was.
Single-handedly, he held off the strange army for half a month, preventing them from setting foot in the Evergreen Realm.
During this period alone, there have been no fewer than a hundred strange immortal kings who have fallen.
The most powerful Immortal Kings among them can even reach the later stages of Immortal King, or even the peak of Immortal King.
but--
As the time goes.
The phantom of the national sacred tree became increasingly illusory, seemingly on the verge of destruction at any moment.
See this scene.
The human army was naturally on high alert.
The two weeks gave them a chance to catch their breath, and their strength recovered considerably.
If the national sacred tree cannot withstand the attack, then it will be their turn to take action.
……
"arrive!"
In the chaotic void, the Void Divine Ship traversed countless billions of miles of void before finally arriving at this place.
Shen Changqing looked at the void before him, where a large number of evil beasts had gathered, almost completely engulfing the entire microcosm.
A constant stream of malevolent beasts continues to assault the cosmic barrier, with some even venturing deeper into the cosmic rifts.
Among these malevolent beasts, Shen Changqing sensed many auras no weaker than those of the Immortal Emperor level, but none of them were at the Half-Saint level.
obviously.
The semi-saintly beast that once tore apart the universe was probably completely obliterated by the power of divine punishment the moment it entered the universe.
otherwise.
A semi-saintly beast invades the heavens and can destroy them in an instant.
However, the power of the cosmic barrier is still intact, preventing most cultivators from entering, which is enough to show that although there is turmoil in the heavens, it has not reached the point of complete collapse.
"It seems there's still time!"
When Batian Shenjun saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, the powerful aura emanating from those evil beasts made him look solemn again.
Only now, having truly arrived outside the myriad universes, could the Overlord God truly see the extent of the demonic beast army.
In the current chaotic void, countless evil beasts roam, their numbers probably numbering no less than tens or hundreds of billions of years.
and.
Among so many evil beasts, the aura of many of them posed a threat to him.
It is evident that these evil beasts possess strength at least at the level of ancient immortals.
As for the demonic beasts at the Celestial King level, there are even more of them.
Compare.
The evil beasts encountered within the heavens are but the tip of the iceberg compared to the vast army of evil beasts outside.
In other words, the rift in the universe is not too large, keeping most of the evil beasts out.
otherwise--
If these evil beasts were allowed to invade the universe, even without ancient immortals or even immortal emperors, the appearance of only immortal king-level evil beasts would be enough to destroy the universe a hundred or two hundred times over.
no way.
There are far too many evil beasts.
The number of Celestial Kings and their demonic beasts is equally astonishing.
Although the universe has been in a golden age of cultivation for millions of years, with strength reaching an unprecedented peak.
However, the number of Celestial Kings has always been small.
Compared to the evil beast.
It's more than just a difference of one order of magnitude.
at this time.
With the appearance of the Void Divine Ship, the evil beasts in the chaotic void seemed to have sensed the presence of the group. Many of the evil beasts that had previously attacked the universes changed their targets and came directly to this place.
"act recklessly!"
Shen Changqing's expression was icy cold as he immediately summoned the Xuan Tian Emperor Bell. The power of this innate imperial weapon erupted, its terrifying force covering hundreds of millions of miles of void.
"boom!!!"
The Great Dao collapsed, the void was annihilated, and all the evil beasts that tried to approach the Void Divine Ship were instantly killed on the spot.
However, this scene failed to scare away the other evil beasts. On the contrary, the powerful fluctuations attracted them even more.
See here.
Shen Changqing was too lazy to waste time with these evil beasts. He simply flicked his sleeve, and a monstrous sword aura erupted, annihilating all the evil beasts blocking his way.
Followed by.
He then activated the Void Divine Ship, heading directly towards the rift in the universe.
at the same time.
Shen Changqing also spoke up: "The universe has its own Heavenly Dao rules to suppress you. You should all suppress your cultivation to the Immortal King level to avoid incurring Heavenly punishment!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone understood the key point, and each of them suppressed their cultivation to the limit of Immortal King, which is the so-called half-step Ancient Immortal level.
Although the universe of dust is weak, the divine punishment of such a universe is absolutely not to be underestimated, and no one has ever thought of provoking the divine punishment.
