"Why did the World Tree appear? Does it recognize this hand?"

Dugu Rou looked at the World Tree that had climbed up to Chen Xuan's shoulder and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she quickly said, "By the way, it is said that the World Tree was cut down by the Desolate Celestial Venerable."

"If this hand truly is the hand of the Desolate Celestial Venerable, then the World Tree appeared because it sensed the aura of its enemy!"

"It wants revenge!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, agreeing with Dugu Rou's words.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet.

The World Tree in Chen Xuan's hand, although not the one from the Boundary Sea Era, is a seed of that World Tree.

From the perspective of humans, they can be considered the son of that World Tree.

The Desolate Celestial Venerable was its father's killer.

Now, with the severed arm of his father's killer right before his eyes, the World Tree is reacting in a peculiar way.

"What's it trying to do by coming out at this time? Could it be seeking revenge?"

Dugu Rou asked curiously.

Although the World Tree in Chen Xuan's hands has grown very quickly and has the strength to kill a Quasi-Supreme Being.

But compared to the sealed hand in front of us, it's like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

The terrifying power emanating from this hand is even greater than that of a Supreme Being!

I reckon one slap would be enough to turn the World Tree into dust!

In fact, if it weren't for the formation sealing that waving arm, preventing its terrifying power from leaking out in a trace, it would have been a different story.

Without this formation, Chen Xuan would probably have been reduced to dust in the very first exchange!

Even with just a trace of power from the array's seal, Chen Xuan was able to feel an overwhelming sense of fear that he couldn't control.

Chen Xuan would believe it if he said that this hand could shatter a whole world with a single slap.

Even turning a supreme being into a meat pie with a single slap wouldn't be a problem.

It's incredibly powerful!

Whoosh!

Just then, a branch of the World Tree suddenly flew towards Dugu Rou.

A tender green leaf at the top of a branch gently touched Dugu Rou's brow.

The next moment, the light shone even brighter from the spot on Dugu Rou's chest.

Chen Xuan could even see that her entire body seemed to be transparent, and her heart was beating strongly and powerfully!

Chen Xuan was immediately surprised. The World Tree touched Dugu Rou's brow, so why did the Angel Heart in her body cause such a big commotion?

Soon, his eyes flashed and he saw a special symbol appear between Dugu Rou's eyebrows.

This symbol looks like an ancient script.

Chen Xuan did not recognize this character; it had a total of ninety-nine strokes.

This character looks like the character "龘", but the character "龘" only has 48 strokes, while this character has twice as many strokes!

Furthermore, the moment this symbol appeared, Chen Xuan instantly felt a warm sensation.

It was as if a powerful and sacred force emanated from this symbol.

In an instant, all the oppressive feeling from that gray hand vanished.

Chen Xuan and the others were enveloped by this sacred and gentle power. At this moment, even without the protection of the angel wings, they would no longer be in any danger.

"Is this... a blessing from heaven?"

Chen Xuan looked thoughtful.

Back then, Dugu Rou's mother stole two of the Angel Clan's most precious treasures: the Angel's Heart and the Blessing of Heaven.

The original plan was for the siblings to each receive one.

The elder sister, Dugu Rou, received the heart of an angel, and the younger brother, Dugu Heng, received the blessing of heaven.

However, after Dugu Rou merged with the Angel's Heart, she was completely unable to control this power.

Even the Northern Venerable, a supreme expert at the time, could not suppress the power of the Angel Heart. Dugu Rou was doomed to die!

At this moment, Dugu Heng offered to give up the blessing of Heaven to save his sister.

Therefore, the blessing that originally belonged to Dugu Heng was transferred into Dugu Rou's body by Bei Zun.

It was precisely because of the blessing of God that the gentle and sacred power it emitted balanced the repulsion between the angel's heart and Dugu Rou's body.

That's why she's been able to live to this day!

Unexpectedly, the World Tree activated the blessing of the heavens. What surprised Chen Xuan even more was that this so-called blessing of the heavens was actually a symbol that looked like a word.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from between Dugu Rou's brows.

The beam of light struck the small altar that sealed the gray hand.

In an instant, a beam of light shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan felt the world begin to shift and the surrounding scenery constantly changing.

It felt like a century had passed, yet it also felt like only a fleeting moment.

During this time, Chen Xuan and his group could not see anything; they only felt that everything around them was a vast expanse of white.

After the white scene faded, Chen Xuan and the others found themselves in a starry sky.

A vast and boundless tree spans the entire universe, its branches extending to all realms and piercing through every celestial abyss.

Countless cultivators travel back and forth between the myriad realms using tree branches.

These cultivators do not need to be very strong. Even those at the Divine Realm or even the Physical Realm can rely on this tree to travel between the myriad worlds.

The entire universe is prosperous and thriving.

Boom!

Suddenly, a giant gray hand shattered the void, and all the laws of heaven and earth submitted to it.

The giant hand reached out and grabbed several great worlds among the myriad realms.

With just a grab, he easily pulled out more than ten incredibly powerful figures, as if they were chicks.

Those figures included humans, demons, beastmen, insects, and various other races.

Each figure exuded an incomparably powerful supreme aura!

In other words, they are all supreme beings!

However, under the oppressive force of that gray hand, these dozen or so supreme beings could only let out powerless roars.

They struggled desperately, but like ants trampled under the feet of a dragon, no matter how hard they struggled, it was all in vain.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the branches of the World Tree, which spanned all the heavens and myriad realms, stretched out wildly and lashed out fiercely at the gray hand, clearly intending to rescue the dozen or so Supreme Beings who had been captured.

The World Tree's branches pierce through the cosmos, and each leaf is as large as a star, capable of suppressing all things in heaven and earth.

Snap!

The branch lashed out at the large gray hand, unleashing a devastating aura that seemed capable of destroying everything in the world.

A dark red mark instantly appeared on that large gray hand—the mark left by the World Tree!
