Golden Skull screamed in terror and retreated rapidly, trying to escape the place.

The other party appeared beside him without warning, without him even noticing. If they were to strike suddenly, they could kill him right there.

That's terrifying!

As the river of time reappeared, the only thought in Jin Ku's mind was to escape this place.

With the forbidden artifact appearing, given his current strength, he's just a dish to be devoured, leaving not even bones or scraps.

"Since you're here, don't leave yet!"

A verdant branch from the ancient locust tree stretched out, radiating a jade-like glow, and headed towards the golden skull.

"If I want to leave, nothing can stop me!" Golden Skull sensed that the branches behind him were still some distance away.

With the river of time now before him, he immediately uttered a harsh remark and strode away.

Despite his deep reluctance to part with the Golden Lotus of Creation, he still chose to flee for his life.

"I will come back!"

The golden skull leaped into the river of time, creating ripples, and disappeared like a carp leaping out of water.

"I told you, you can stay!"

The ancient locust tree spoke with a hint of displeasure.

The leaves on the verdant branches shimmered with light, ancient inscriptions imprinted on them, instantly plunging into the river of time as the branches swayed.

The branches churned and twisted, and endless scenes erupted from the river of time, with streams of spacetime power splashing and falling into the space.

Large swathes of towering trees withered rapidly, losing their vitality.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream echoed through the river of time.

The locust branch quickly retracted, its tip dangling a half-skull that swayed.

It looked exactly like the Golden Skull that had just escaped.

"Ah! Let me go! Let me go!"

The golden skull struggled incessantly, releasing wisps of divine thought, its tone filled with fear, completely devoid of any trace of the composure of a god-king.

Shh! Stop making noise!

Another branch of the ancient locust tree stretched out and suddenly lashed out at the chest of the golden skull.

"Snap—"

A shower of golden stars fell.

Chu Feng's pupils contracted, and he gasped.

The golden bones that had been whipped were charred black, and cracks spread across the entire skeleton, as if it were about to shatter.

This was once a god-king! Even now, having fallen to the realm of celestial gods, he is still an incomparably powerful being.

A simple swipe almost crushed the opponent.

Moreover, the ancient locust tree didn't seem to exert any force; it was just a casual strike.

To be able to pull someone out of the river of time is already an amazing feat, but to do something like this is truly terrifying.

Jin Ku was in excruciating pain, his body was severely injured once again, and his cultivation level dropped from the peak of the Heavenly God Realm to the first level of the Heavenly God Realm.

I felt utterly hopeless!

"I told you to shut up and stop talking so much nonsense, but you just had to go looking for trouble! Now you can't blame me for this!"

The ancient locust tree spoke with a hint of helplessness, as if he were the one who had been hurt.

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, his understanding of the river of time being refreshed once again.

That's terrifying!

The entire river of time is filled with all sorts of things, from ominous things and god-kings to forbidden artifacts.

Without exception, they all met one condition.

Extremely powerful!

However, compared to his own rouge box, this locust tree was terrifyingly strong.

Large patches of bark have fallen from the tree trunk, revealing crisscrossing marks of swords and knives, a testament to the passage of time.

The thousands of branches at the top sway and dance, each one containing immense power, with leaves rippling like green waves, exuding the essence of life.

Chu Feng pursed his lips, a surge of passion coursing through his heart.

If he could acquire the Ancient Locust Tree, he would gain a powerful trump card.

Although the risk factor is high, it is worth the risk.

Moreover, the other party is also very interested in the Golden Lotus of Creation. As long as the operation is done properly, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the other party.

At this moment, the golden skull hangs on the branch, looking listless.

The trunk of the ancient locust tree twisted and turned, and an old man dressed in black robes with an air of otherworldly wisdom emerged from it.

He stepped forward and stood before Chu Feng. "Fellow Daoist, what do you say? Will you make a deal with me?"

Chu Feng clicked his tongue. "That's perfect! I couldn't be happier!"

There's no reason not to take prey that's offered to you.

The ancient locust tree nodded, as if all of this was expected and perfectly normal.

He had noticed Jin Ku and Chu Feng when they appeared in this space, and he had observed the events unfolding.

He also intended to study the Creation Golden Lotus.

It's better not to look at it, the more you look, the more horrified you become!

If he could collect all the creations of the universe, he might be able to evolve the forbidden entity and become above all the gods.

No more worrying about being refined by those god-kings, thus gaining great freedom and ease!

It can even enslave the gods.

"Snap!"

A verdant branch broke off and drifted to Chu Feng's side.

"This is one of my fundamental branches, which is extremely precious. You can use this to unleash the power of a celestial being!"

The ancient locust tree spoke softly, as if bestowing a favor, its expression exceptionally arrogant.

"Ah?" Chu Feng looked at the branch in his hand, his eyes showing heartache: "Great forbidden artifact, if you break a root branch, won't you suffer a great loss of vitality?"

"Hmm?" The ancient locust tree frowned involuntarily. Why did this guy have such a look in his eyes?

His eyes were filled with heartache, as if his own child had been hurt, showing him exceptional pity.

This made his body shiver involuntarily, as if he had been given a chill, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
