Chapter 1801: The Spacetime Blade! (1/2)

The dark land broke piece by piece.

However, countless rays of emerald wood power suddenly burst forth from the depths of the earth in its central area.

As this happened, the area somehow became as solid as a large piece of divine metal, and didn’t shatter as the other parts of the dark land did.

This central area was the key to entering and exiting the chaos.

“This is the power of the Tree of Life.” Zhao Shanling looked down with a deep look in his eyes, and saw roots that the Tree of Life had left in the depths of the cracking earth.

At this moment, all of those roots were emanating brilliant emerald light, as if they were brimming with refined divine power.

These very roots were what were binding this central area of the dark land like celestial chains while heaven rent and the earth exploded in the other areas.

At this point, very few were still bold enough to remain here.

Clutching his gigantic golden axe, the Blood Father of the Spirit World stood in the void that was riddled with spatial rifts, with spatial blades flashing across from time to time, as if he was still pondering and trying to untie a knot in his mind.

No one dared to provoke him at this moment.

“I can’t peek into the chaos anymore,” Wu Ji said weakly. “All you can do now is wait for things between him, Nie Tian, and the Tree of Life to take a new turn.”

With these words, he lifted his chin.

“Mister Wu!” Nie Jin exclaimed in shock.

“Senior Wu!” Everyone present was surprised to find Wu Ji’s eyes spiritless, empty, and bereft of any brilliance, as if they were fake.

Slender cuts could be seen on his eyelids, from which he was bleeding not blood, but something that seemed like the sands of time.

“I can’t see Nie Tian or what’s happening in the chaos anymore. I’m afraid I won’t be helpful in your future battles.”

With these words, he seemed to be wrapped around and pulled into the River of Time by time power.

BOOM!

Suddenly, he exploded into thousands of glorious sparks like a disintegrated cluster of awareness, and dispersed into the River of Time.

Zhao Shanling let out a deep sigh. “He returned to the River of Time. Perhaps we’ll have to wait hundreds or even thousands of millennia before another being emerges in the three worlds with the ability to communicate with the River of Time, light up its imprints, pick up the lost memories, and manifest its wonders in our worlds again.”

The fact that he said these words meant that Wu Ji had passed away.

Even though the crowd didn’t really understand the relationship between him and the River of Time, his words made them realize that Wu Ji, who had guided and helped them repeatedly and practically raised Nie Tian to his current heights, no longer existed.

Perhaps he hadn’t perished in a real sense. However, who knew how many millennia it would be before he was awakened again.

...

In the chaos.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

From her Space Boundaries Crystal, Pei Qiqi pulled out spatial blades that were even fiercer than the ones in the dark land, and slashed them at the branches and leaves of the Tree of Life that were wrapped around Nie Tian.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

One enormous branch after another was severed by her erupting spatial power.

However, the power of the Tree of Life had already become immeasurable now that it had returned to the chaos and replaced the origin of life.

Infused with rich life power, its branches and leaves would reform and recover their original state immediately after being severed and shattered.

No matter how hard Pei Qiqi tried, she could only cut through the outermost layers of branches. Her power couldn’t reach the innermost layers at all.

Even Ji Cang, who had plotted against Nie Tian on many occasions, suddenly bellowed, “Let’s kill it together!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Nine streaks of starlight flew out of Ji Cang’s star domain one after another like nine brilliant dragons. Carrying the wonders of the myriad stars in the universe, they bombarded the branches of the Tree of Life that bound Nie Tian.

The Divine Flame didn’t just sit back and look either. It conjured clusters of fire that could easily incinerate realms and cast them towards the Tree of Life.

Each and every one of them was carved with ultimate fire spell formations that connected to the origin of fire.

Pei Qiqi, Ji Cang, and the Divine Flame made a joint effort to free Nie Tian from the Tree of Life.

However, rich emerald and crimson auras rose from the innumerable leaves of the Tree of Life. The mysterious markings on them seemed to be bloodline patterns that contained the bloodline secrets and wonders of all of the species in the three worlds.

Within seconds, the auras formed what looked like thousands of giant umbrellas.

Ji Cang, Pei Qiqi, and the Divine Flame’s attacks were all intercepted by them and reduced to tiny sparks of light that flew in different directions.

WHOOSH!

At the same time, thick, emerald branches extended from the main body of the colossal tree like all-conquering divine spears.
