Dominating Martial King

The grand and majestic power of life rapidly enveloped the entire South Pole Star Domain as the Wood Sword Immortal gathered the stars.

At this moment, Shen Putian sensed that among the nineteen Life True Spirits in the heavens and earth, ten had undergone changes.

These beings, who relied on the support of the Wood God and had managed to become eternal Life True Spirits, were completely swept away, removed from their True Spirit ranks.

Around Shen Putian, the twenty-three Upper Eternal Rank wood element gods were almost entirely annihilated in an instant.

Their bodies and life essence swelled, proliferated, mutated, and twisted under the powerful Life Heavenly Rules.

Countless tiny creatures, like mustard seeds and dust, frantically grew within them.

Huge tumors and abscesses appeared outside the bodies of these gods, exhausting their efforts to cope.

Even Shen Putian had to use all his might to suppress the mutations within his own body, let alone these wood element gods, whose strength was far inferior to his.

Only Tian Kui and Tian Fu, whose power approached that of an Emperor, could resist the mighty Life Heavenly Rules.

The two tried their best to strike at the Wood Sword Immortal, but were forced back over thirty thousand miles by the sharp, dominant Sword Qi of the Wood Sword Immortal.

The true form of the Wood Sword Immortal, the Blood Pine, had ninety-nine main branches.

Each main branch was like an arm, with a long sword embedded at the end. Swords swept across the void, Sword Qi spanning over thirty thousand miles, with a glorious and domineering sword movement, cutting off everything and extinguishing all.

Three wood element gods were unable to retreat in time, and their divine bodies were chopped into hundreds of pieces, falling directly on the spot.

The others only narrowly escaped with the help of Star Lords Tian Kui and Tian Fu, and the timely arrival of ’Master Wood Star’, whose battle power was second only to the Wood God.

However, these gods were all severely injured.

Though this was not enough to cause their fall, it did significantly diminish their Primordial Qi, leaving them unable to fight.

Shen Putian blocked around twenty swords before retreating over thirty thousand miles.

He could have fought this powerful being for a while longer, but it was unnecessary.

Shen Putian did not wish to risk his life against this existence with power akin to that of an Emperor.

Nor could he fight against him.

Shen Putian had confirmed that the Wood Sword Immortal’s divine power was indeed endless.

Using his sword without sparing any loss, each strike was at full force, leaving no room for maneuver.

Shen Putian sensed a familiar aura from him, his heart trembling.

His eyes widened slightly, his expression incredulous: "Creation Mother Tree, Song Yan Nian, have you mastered the Creation Mother Tree? When was this—"

Shen Putian’s voice suddenly paused, recalling the recent battle over the Creation Mother Tree.

Was it at that time?

Was this the true purpose of the Divine Continent Emperor?

While the attention of all the gods was drawn to Chu Xisheng, this Wood Sword Immortal took advantage of the Creation Mother Tree’s injury to meddle with it.

This probably involved the Three Generation of Saint Emperor too.

Only the Sky Covering Technique of Saint Level could truly veil the sight of All Gods.

Yet Shen Putian remained puzzled.

How exactly did the Wood Sword Immortal achieve it? What method did he use?

Didn’t the Wood God’s Spiritual Might want to control the Creation Mother Tree?

That could elevate the Wood God’s Spiritual Might to its peak, directly reaching the Creation!

He just couldn’t do it.

The vigilance of All Gods made him hesitant to act recklessly, and the Wood God’s Spiritual Might couldn’t refine this tree, whose life essence was closer to the world’s root, in a short time.

Yet the Wood Sword Immortal achieved it, silently gaining control over the Creation Mother Tree without any god’s awareness.

At this moment, Shen Putian’s mind jolted, and he looked toward the Mortal World.

He discovered that the Creation Mother Tree, located in the very center of Central Earth, was undergoing intense changes.

Its bark was shedding extensively, and its limbs were continuously changing.

"Pangu above!"

Shen Putian murmured involuntarily, his eyes losing focus again: "Is this, Blood Pine?"

The bark revealed on the surface of the Creation Mother Tree now astonishingly resembled that of the Blood Pine.

The Wood Sword Immortal, has that guy completely merged himself with the Creation Mother Tree?

What was going on? What did they do to the Creation Mother Tree?

The subsequent changes within a mere thirty breaths confirmed his judgment.

Shen Putian sensed that the Life Heavenly Rules of heaven and earth were undergoing immense turbulence.

This implied that two powerful beings were vying for control over this piece of heavenly rules.

It should be the Wood Sword Immortal, who was gathering stars, contending with the Wood God’s Spiritual Might for the Life Saint.

Meanwhile, the crown of the Creation Mother Tree, extending outside the Mortal World, began to gradually retract.

This giant tree not only retracted its crown but also caused the ’Creation Divine Fruits’ hanging from it to wither one by one.

The Primordial Power contained within these fruits was flowing back into the Creation Mother Tree.

This incited a frenzy of terrified screams from all the Wild Gods witnessing this scene.

All Eternal Star Gods changed their expressions.

Shen Putian’s face also turned pale.

The ’Creation Divine Fruits’ were the food source by which the Wild Gods lived outside the Outer Domain, forming the basis for their resistance against the ’Source Addiction’.

And now, thousands upon thousands of ’Creation Divine Fruits’ were wilting and falling.

It’s over!

Shen Putian lamented in his heart.

He couldn’t imagine what the Star Sky would become if the Wood Sword Immortal succeeded today.

No!

Even if the Wood Sword Immortal ultimately failed, this Innate Blood Pine had already merged with the Creation Divine Tree by some unknown method.
