Chapter 1437 - Liberation of the Crown (2/2)

This time, Simon changed the topic. Pointing at Black Star in the strategic sand table, he said with a deep voice, “We can’t count on the victory of the main force for now. The ones that are most likely to break the stalemate are the Beyond Grade As. With Black Star leading the way, as long as they can get rid of the obstruction of the enemy’s high-level combatants, they will be able to advance quickly. They are the breakthrough point of this battle, and they might be able to influence the outcome.”

All the officers and the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations nodded.

Although it seemed like Black Star would not be able to get rid of the Tree God anytime soon, after experiencing so much, everyone had strong confidence in him and had high hopes.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One black and one green Transcendent clashed countless times. As his various talents were activated, Han Xiao’s attributes increased bit by bit. The more he fought, the stronger he became, and he gradually suppressed Tree God.

Because the Tree God had an extremely high absorption rate toward energy attacks, Han Xiao could only use physical attacks against him. The black torrent formed by mechanical particles transformed into all kinds of forms, leaving wounds on the Tree God’s body.

Very soon, Han Xiao started to push forward again with unstoppable momentum. The Tree God hurriedly released a series of World Tree Roots to wrap around the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, trying to stall him. However, these roots were all easily torn apart by Han Xiao and crushed into dust.

“Without the incomplete state of rationality, it can only rely on its instincts to fight, and cannot release its full strength. It’s a pity.”

Han Xiao spun his blade and chopped off the head of the Tree God. Seeing the head of the Tree God regenerate rapidly, he shook his head.

However, right at this moment, the Tree God suddenly jolted, and the chaotic emotions of the beast subsided. For the first time, a clear mental thought came to him. It was the consciousness of the Ancestral Tree King.

“Black Star! Don’t even think about getting

past me!”

“Eh, you regained consciousness?”

Han Xiao raised his brows. He was curious about what method the Ancestral Tree King had used to regain his rationality and take over the control of the Tree God.

Just as the Ancestral Tree King took over the body of the Tree God, its fighting style immediately changed. The fighting style was no longer rough and a lot of details were added.

Although his strength did not increase, the actual combat strength that the Tree God displayed had increased significantly. It was like a completely different person.

At this moment, in the inner space of the Tree God, the illusory figure of the Ancestral Tree King was floating. His senses were connected to the Tree God’s vision, and he looked at Han Xiao with a determined expression.

Until just now, the Ancestral Tree King was trapped in the consciousness of the Tree God and was in a state of chaos. However, the World Tree finally realized that it was facing a great calamity. The will of the Mother Tree descended, allowing the Ancestral Tree King to wake up alone. It also took back the crown positions of the Fortitude Tree King and the Subduing Tree King, handing them all to the Ancestral Tree King. Its meaning was very clear. It was to let the Ancestral Tree King fight alone.

This was something the World Tree had learned from the process of those previous tree kings who had attempted to break through to the Transcendent Grade. Burning the information state foundation of the Ancestral Tree King allowed him to enter a state similar to the advancement of the Transcendent Grade, but he was still controlled by the World Tree. This way, the consciousness of the Ancestral Tree King would be connected to the senses of the Tree God and could control the Tree God alone.

The price was to temporarily deprive the Ancestral Tree King of the chance to revive. If he could survive, he would be able to return to the mother tree’s embrace after exiting the tree god state. However, if he died in this state, the Ancestral Tree King would then end up like those tree kings who failed to advance to the Transcendent Grade, unable to revive. This was the disadvantage.

However, this was the will of the Mother Tree, and the Ancestral Tree King had no right to choose.

Han Xiao said with a calm tone, “With your control, the Tree God is indeed much stronger, but if you think that this small change can stop me, you’re overthinking it. Furthermore, how long can this state of yours last?”

“Do you think you’ve won?!”

The Ancestral Tree King’s expression was stern. Without saying a word, he activated [Tree King Crown – Liberation).

In the void, the Subduing Tree King Crown that represented the Pugilist class shattered!

The experience and skills accumulated by every generation of the Martial Tree King were all integrated into the Tree God. At the same time, the origin power of the crown seemed to have become a catalyst, instantly increasing the combat power of the Tree God!

A seemingly endless amount of energy suddenly surged out from deep within his body and spread throughout his entire body in the blink of an eye.

“Ahhh,”

The intense pain invaded the mind of the

low growl. However, his mental strength did not weaken. Instead, it was stimulated and quickly strengthened. The next moment, green muscles suddenly grew out of the Tree God’s body. The originally dry tree body suddenly became burly and round.

This feeling was as though the original Tree God was just a skeleton. Only now did the flesh and blood appear on the skeleton.

The Tree God Domain that was originally at a disadvantage suddenly expanded, pushing Han Xiao’s Void Domain away.

[Tree King Crown – Liberation) could strengthen the combat power of the Tree God, and the corresponding Tree King Crown had to be sacrificed. Losing the right to be the Tree King for a long period of time would require thousands of years to recover, and the price was huge!

However, to reduce the losses, the Ancestral Tree King sacrificed the title of the Pugilist without hesitation!

Ancestral Tree King’s emotions were affected as if a pile of dry wood had been touched by a spark, and his battle intent soared.

“My strength is far from my limit! Black Star! Only when you die will we be at peace!”
