"It's me."

Zhao Feng met her gaze, his expression calm and composed.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Princess Umo.

She could sense that the man in front of her was only at the True Immortal realm, not even as powerful as her own avatar.

Yet there was a mystery about him that even she couldn't see through.

His soul, in particular, seemed to be shrouded in a mist, and no matter how much she used her bewitching arts, she could not shake it in the slightest.

"interesting."

The Heavenly Princess Umo parted her red lips slightly, revealing a smile that could eclipse all other things. "Who exactly are you? And why do you wish to be an enemy of my divine race?"

"I am not an enemy of the gods."

Zhao Feng cut to the chase, "On the contrary, I'm here to seek cooperation with you."

"cooperate?"

Tianfei Wumo laughed, her laughter shaking her body. "What right does a mere native from the lower realm have to discuss cooperation with my divine race?"

Zhao Feng's voice was calm, "Because I have already integrated the entire Xuanhuang Great World."

"The ten sects of immortality and the five sects of demonic cultivation have all submitted to me."

"If we cooperate, the gates to the Xuanhuang World will be opened to the gods, and you can easily take control of the entire Great World."

“If you refuse…” Zhao Feng smiled, “you must be prepared to pay a heavy price.”

The laughter of the Heavenly Princess Umo came to an abrupt end.

She looked intently at Zhao Feng, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of his words.

Zhao Feng wasn't in a hurry; he simply waited quietly.

A moment later.

Tianfei Wumo spoke again, "Your conditions?"

"It's very simple."

Zhao Feng held up two fingers. "I'll help you open a passage to the Immortal Realm."

"In return, I need two things."

"First, a fragment of a creation artifact."

"Secondly, the main trunk of the World Tree in your divine treasury."

"What?"

Tianfei Wumo's expression changed drastically, and she could no longer maintain her composure. "Fragments of the Creation Artifact are one thing, but how dare you covet the main trunk of the World Tree?!"

"Do you know that the World Tree is the natural enemy of our divine race! Entrusting its trunk to you is tantamount to raising a tiger to cause future trouble!"

A chilling killing intent emanated from Tianfei Wumo's body, as if the entire sea of ​​Wuwang was about to freeze.

"Of course I know."

Zhao Feng seemed oblivious to this, saying, "So, this is what a transaction is all about."

"I can swear an oath on the Great Dao that I will never be the first to use the World Tree against your gods."

"But if you don't agree..."

Zhao Feng's tone also turned cold, "From this day forward, my Xuanhuang Immortal Alliance will fight your divine race to the death."

"At that time, even if you manage to conquer the Xuanhuang Great World, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Whether you can still conquer the Immortal Realm is another matter."

A blatant threat!

The Heavenly Princess Umo's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that she was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Zhao Feng's conditions were too harsh.

But the price is equally tempting.

If they could gain the assistance of the entire Xuanhuang Great World, the chances of the gods succeeding in attacking the Immortal Realm would greatly increase.

Is this risk worth taking?

Time passed, second by second.

Finally, the murderous intent in Tianfei Wumo's eyes slowly faded.

"Alright, I agree."

She made a decision.

"However, you must first make a vow to the Great Dao."

"Can."

Without hesitation, Zhao Feng immediately took his own Dao as a guide and made a vow.

Upon seeing this.

Tianfei Wumo was finally able to put her mind at ease.

With a wave of her hand, a spatial rift opened in front of her.

Her slender arm reached directly into the crack.

A moment later.

When she pulled her hand out again, she had something else in her hand.

It was a piece of metal about the size of a human head, completely black, and covered with cracks.

There was no energy fluctuation on the fragment; it looked just like a piece of scrap metal.

But the moment Zhao Feng saw it, the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure within his body began to tremble violently, emitting a yearning hum.

This is the true form of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure, a fragment of the Creation Artifact!

Immediately afterwards.

The Heavenly Princess Umo once again reached into the spatial rift, this time as if she were carrying something incredibly heavy.

Rumble!

The entire Xuanhuang Great World was trembling violently.

Above the Sea of ​​Nothingness, an indescribable force tore open a massive rift that stretched across the heavens and earth.

A section of tree trunk, so enormous it defies description, was slowly pulled out from the crack.

The tree trunk, its length immeasurable, was a chaotic color, its surface covered with interwoven patterns that seemed to encompass all the mysteries of the myriad realms.

Even with only a small portion revealed, the immense vitality and power emanating from it caused the entire Heavenly Dao Will of the Xuanhuang Great World to cheer with joy.

The trunk of the World Tree!

Looking at the divine object before him, Zhao Feng finally revealed a burning desire in his eyes.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Tianfei Wumo pushed the two items toward Zhao Feng, gave him a deep look, and then her figure turned into specks of light and disappeared from the spot.

Zhao Feng waved his sleeve.

He absorbed the fragments of the Creation Artifact and the massive, boundless trunk of the World Tree into his inner world.

Immediately afterwards.

Zhao Feng's figure flickered, and he silently returned to the quiet room of the Feathered Heaven Palace.

With a casual wave of his hand, he isolated the area from all restrictions.

And within his inner world.

The World Tree sapling, which had absorbed the Water of Oblivion and the Fountain of Life and was already bursting with vitality, suddenly landed on the main trunk of the World Tree.

Buzzing...

The moment it touched the main trunk, the seedling's roots grew wildly, deeply embedding themselves in the ancient patterns of the trunk.

A faint green light ignited from the point of contact, and then spread rapidly like wildfire to the entire massive trunk!

A withered tree comes back to life!

The trunk of the World Tree, which had been dormant for countless billions of years, was completely awakened at this moment!

Rumble!

His inner world was completely boiling over!

The merged World Tree grew wildly at an incredible speed.

Its roots no longer rest on the earth's veins, but instead penetrate directly into the very core of the world's origin, merging with the entire world.

Its trunk pierces the clouds and pushes open the sky, becoming the sole backbone supporting this world!

Its branches and leaves extend into the endless void, devouring the most primordial chaotic energy!

call!

suck!

With each inhalation and exhalation, a massive amount of chaotic energy is transformed into extremely pure world power, nourishing the entire internal world.

The earth is expanding.

The sky is rising.

The brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars increased a thousandfold!

Between the mountains and rivers, the spiritual energy is no longer mist, but has transformed into rivers, lakes and seas, flowing endlessly.

The whole world is expanding like crazy!

An endless torrent of pure primordial energy surged into his limbs and bones.

Every instant, the power he can mobilize is increasing exponentially!

The barrier between the True Immortal and the Celestial Immortal realm was breached almost without any hindrance by this tyrannical force.

Then there are immortals and mystical immortals!

A leap in one's realm is as simple as eating and drinking.

That vast energy seemed to have no end.

final.

Once the growth of the World Tree stabilizes and it becomes the core of the inner world.

Zhao Feng's cultivation level has also reached a new height.

Click!

It was as if something was breaking apart within him, and something else was being born.

Golden laws, shimmering with immortal radiance and containing eternal truth, condensed and took shape within his immortal body.

The Golden Immortal Law!

Ascend to heaven in one step, directly to the Golden Immortal realm!

The power of this avatar underwent a dramatic transformation in less than an hour.

That's not all.

In the distant Qin borderlands, amidst chaos.

Zhao Fengna, who was breathing with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes.

A similarly vast and boundless power of life and the world crossed endless time and space and fed back to him, allowing his already unfathomable cultivation to advance even further.

"Inexhaustible resources..."

Inside the Feathered Heavenly Palace, Zhao Feng felt the surging and roaring ocean of magical power within his body, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

With the World Tree as his backing, the magical power of his avatar was virtually limitless.

He stood up, the laws of the Golden Immortal flowing around him, and every move he made carried a terrifying power that could crush eternity and obliterate everything.

"It's time to retrieve something else."

His gaze pierced through the many palaces of the Feathered Heaven Palace and landed on an extremely hidden place in the Xuanhuang Great World.

That place holds another great opportunity for Fang Han.

Heavenly Martial Treasury!

He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the quiet room.

The next moment.

He appeared in the sky above the plaza of the Feathered Heaven Palace, and his voice rang directly in Hua Tiandu's mind.

"Hua Tiandu, come with me."

Hua Tiandu, who was handling the affairs of the Immortal Alliance, was startled and immediately felt a terrifying pressure that made his soul tremble.

He looked up and felt as if Zhao Feng had transformed into the very essence of Heaven, looking down upon him, this insignificant ant.

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately transformed into a streak of light, flying behind Zhao Feng.

Where are we going?

"The Treasury of Heavenly Martial Arts".

Zhao Feng spoke calmly, then tore open the space in front of him, leading Hua Tiandu directly inside.

Amidst the endless spatial turbulence, Zhao Feng led Hua Tiandu as if strolling leisurely in a garden.

The spatial storms around him, powerful enough to tear apart giants of the Longevity Realm, would automatically subside and turn into gentle air currents when they came within three feet of him.

Hua Tian followed behind, his heart filled with turmoil.

It's only been a short time since we last met.

The aura emanating from the Alliance Leader has undergone such a terrifying change!

If we're talking about before...

He could still barely muster a little suspicion when facing Zhao Feng.

Now, he doesn't even have the right to look up to them anymore.

It was an absolute crushing on a life level, so that he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

soon.

The two then passed through the chaotic spatial interlayers and arrived at an ancient secret realm independent of the Xuanhuang Great World.

Here, a desolate and ancient "wilderness" atmosphere permeates the air.

The sky was gray, and the earth was a dark yellow.

In the center of the secret realm, a vast treasure trove forged from an unknown metal stands silently, as if it has existed since time immemorial.

Heavenly Martial Treasury!

It is rumored that it contains the legacy left behind by the Immortal Venerable Panwu.

The moment Zhao Feng and Hua Tian appeared.

roar!

A roar filled with savagery and murderous intent echoed from the treasure vault.

Immediately afterwards.

Eighteen puppets, each a hundred feet tall, wielding giant axes, with bulging muscles and radiating pure martial will, rushed out from all sides of the treasure vault and surrounded the two.

The aura of each puppet was comparable to that of a giant in the Chaos Realm!

"Anyone who trespasses into the Heavenly Martial Treasury shall die!"

Murderous words rang out simultaneously from the mouths of the eighteen puppets.

Hua Tiandu's face turned pale, and his magical power instantly reached its peak, preparing for a fierce battle.

However.

Zhao Feng didn't even bother to glance at the puppets.

He simply stretched out his hand towards the Heavenly Martial Treasury, spread his five fingers, and then gently clenched them.

"broken."

A single word, and the law follows.

Click! Click! Click!

The eighteen martial arts puppets, crafted from ancient treasures and possessing indestructible bodies, simultaneously developed countless cracks on their surfaces.

Their ferocious aura vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, the eighteen puppets exploded, turning into countless metal fragments that scattered across the ground.

From beginning to end, Zhao Feng did not even use any supernatural powers. He simply relied on his newly condensed Golden Immortal Law to completely erase this guardian, which was troublesome even for True Immortals.

Hua Tiandu stared in disbelief, his throat suddenly going dry.

This...this is the Alliance Leader's current strength?

Zhao Feng ignored his shock and strode towards the Heavenly Martial Treasury.

The massive, heavy gate, engraved with countless martial arts runes, seemed to be nothing in front of him.

He walked straight through the door.

Hua Tiandu quickly followed.

The treasure vault was vast, yet it felt somewhat empty.

There were no mountains of magical treasures and elixirs, only a solitary altar.

Above the altar, a colossal, towering tree, seemingly a pillar supporting the heavens, floats in the air.

The Key of the Aragami!

Legend has it that this is a branch of the World Tree, containing boundless vitality and power, and is also the key to unlocking the inheritance of the Aragami.

Zhao Feng looked at the tree branch and smiled slightly.

With a thought, the World Tree within his body, which had grown into a colossal pillar, swayed gently.

A surge of vitality, far exceeding that of the Key of the Wild God by billions of times, vanished in a flash.

"It's not even a drop in the ocean."

Zhao Feng shook his head and casually took the Key of the Desolate God into his hand.

For him, the only value of this thing now is to cut off Fang Han's escape route.

Zhao Feng casually tossed the Key of the Wild God into his sleeve and turned to Hua Tiandu, saying, "Have you finished collecting everything? It's time to go back."

"Yes, Alliance Leader."

Hua Tiandu responded respectfully.

His reverence for Zhao Feng was ingrained in his very bones.

The two tore through space once more and returned to the Feathered Immortal Mountain.

at this time.

Only one day remains until the three-day deadline.

The armies of the Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Path had already assembled in the square in front of the Feathered Heaven Palace, a dark mass exuding a murderous aura.

All the high-ranking members gathered in the main hall, awaiting the alliance leader's final order for the all-out attack. (End of Chapter)
