Chapter 1428 - Unexpected Discovery (1/2)
The mechanical army swarmed out like a black tide and gathered together, covering the Lord’s Avatar. It quickly combined and turned into a huge Mechanical Deity that spanned across the galaxy.
Han Xiao controlled the gigantic Supreme Heavenly Venerate and cruised through the galaxy of the World Tree territory, heading toward the dazzling starlight.
Not long after, a planet wrapped in roots appeared in his sight, getting closer and closer.
Without saying a word, Han Xiao raised his palm, and a strong psionic light appeared in his palm. The next moment, a thick beam of light shot out and penetrated the planet like a spear.
A hole was left on the surface of the planet, and the internal structure of the planet was exposed through the hole. The crust, the mantle, and the core of the planet were clearly separated, like the layers of a cake.
After a moment of stagnation, the planet suddenly collapsed inward toward the opening. Its crust shattered and turned into a molten stream. The mantle surged violently, and the brightness of the planet’s core increased. Powerful light burst out from the center, and the next moment, the entire planet exploded, turning into an expanding ball of light.
Han Xiao’s body did not move at all, and his shield automatically blocked the strong shockwave of the planet’s explosion. The electric arcs were not damaged at all, as though there were layers of energy hurricanes surrounding him.
This time, he was here to cause trouble. He did not need to be as cautious as he had been more than ten years ago. What he wanted was to create a huge commotion. The next moment, the information state alarm was triggered. Not long after, the entire World Tree Civilization knew that Han Xiao had suddenly appeared and destroyed a planet.
Han Xiao had not gone far when the space around him fluctuated. Group after group of World Tree fleets passed through the World Tree Express and headed toward the area of the explosion. Without hesitation, they opened fire on the planet-sized Supreme Celestial Body.
A dense rain of light rained down on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate’s shield. However, while the thunder was loud, the resulting rain was small. It could only create large sparks of energy, unable to break through the seemingly indestructible shield. Han Xiao raised his hand and clenched his fist. Energy gushed out and crushed the battleships. Although he was surrounded by the fleet, he seemed to be the one surrounding all the enemies instead.
Very soon, more World Tree fleets arrived at the battlefield with the help of the World Tree territory’s rapid descent channel. They all joined the battle, and more and more battleships surrounded Han Xiao.
In the Tree King Palace on the other side, both the Ancestral Tree King and the Fortitude Tree King were paying attention to Han Xiao’s actions through the mental network.
“Why did this guy suddenly come here?” The Fortitude Tree King was shocked. “Is he planning to attack our territory alone?” “Looks like it.” The Ancestral Tree King narrowed his eyes.
“Should we stop him?
When the Ancestral Tree King heard this, he shook his head firmly. “There’s no need. He’s very difficult to deal with. Human wave tactics are very inefficient against him. We don’t know how many troops we’ll have to invest to stop him. We’ll also have to send a portion of the invading troops back. That’s exactly what he wants. He wants to divert our attention and obstruct our progress.”
“Then what should we do? Just watch him wreak havoc in our territory?”
“Since we can’t stop him, we won’t. Let the Mother Tree retract its territory and change its base. We’ll leave this place to him.”
The Ancestral Tree King spoke without hesitation.
There was another method, which was to use the Tree God’s Descent to fight a Transcendent Grade. However, after the last battle, the Ancestral Tree King felt that the incomplete Tree God’s Descent would not be able to defeat Black Star, so he decided not to waste the time and simply abandoned the
area.
Due to the connection of the mind network and the unique parent tree mechanism, the World Tree Civilization had a huge advantage, which was its astonishing executional ability. As soon as the Ancestral Tree King gave the order, the enormous World Tree territory immediately began to alter itself.
In the starry sky, the roots of the World Tree could be seen moving slowly, as though they were uprooting themselves. The ‘land’ that carried the World Tree was the universe of the territory. Usually, these roots were hidden, but now, they appeared one after another.
The planets turned into liquids and fused into the World Tree Root. The World Tree Root also retracted, and the space crack outside the planet disappeared.
For a time, the countless stars dimmed until they disappeared. The originally prosperous and bright galaxy slowly turned into a desolate universe. As the World Tree retrieved the planets, the Star Field was quickly recovering its original appearance. It was desolate, cold, and dark. Not a single blade of grass grew here.
Han Xiao, who was slaughtering the World Tree fleet, also noticed the abnormal changes in the universe space. This was also the first time he had seen the World Tree migrate its base. He gazed at the universe filled with tree roots, revealing their ‘uprooted’ state.
“You’re planning to move the moment you see me? How decisive.”
Han Xiao was surprised.
Without the ability of the roots, the World Tree fleet could not be deployed. The World Tree fleet present received the order and immediately ended the siege. They took advantage of the last moment to quickly teleport out, planning to retreat.
Han Xiao crushed another fleet. Suddenly, he activated the Tree God’s Character Summon Card.
Swoosh!
The next moment, space cracks suddenly appeared around the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Roots shot out and swept across the fleet, swallowing the battleships.
The roots that he had summoned with his Character Summon Card flowed with blue light, completely different from the green World Tree itself!
“How can he use the power of the World Tree?!”
The Ancestral Tree King had been paying close attention the entire time, and he was stunned upon seeing this.
Could Black Star be a member of the World Tree?! Their kin?!!
That’s not right. How is this possible?
At the same time, the Mother Tree’s consciousness also reacted, and the Ancestral Tree King could sense the shock within.
The World Tree itself was also confused, wondering why a life form that was not controlled by it had the same power. Han Xiao was controlling the summoned roots to attack the fleet, and he was enjoying this novel feeling. Suddenly, he owned a bunch of ‘tentacles’, and he finally experienced the joy of being a Tree King. Right at this moment, a wave of mental fluctuations suddenly transmitted over, bringing along the Ancestral Tree King’s shocked voice.
“Black Star! How do you have the power of the World Tree?!”
”Guess?”
Han Xiao raised his brows.
