Supreme Warrior in the City

Watching the tree branch seep into his body bit by bit, Su Yang was greatly shocked.

He quickly grabbed the branch again, but despite several attempts, he could not pull it out. Without a doubt, pulling out the branch had become an impossible task.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang simply drew a long saber from his body.

Since he couldn’t pull the branch out, he might as well use the long saber to cut it off. He couldn’t let the branch enter his body completely.

Infusing the power into the long saber, it emitted a dim blade glow. Although the glow wasn’t long, its power was terrifying, because Su Yang had concentrated all his power onto this three-foot glow.

The blade glowed and slowly fell upon the branch.

However, as Su Yang anticipated, the situation of the branch being cut didn’t occur. On the contrary, the long saber seemed to suffer a great impact and shattered entirely.

Su Yang was stunned. This situation reminded him of a previous attempt to cut the roots of the Chaos Flower with a longsword. At that time, the longsword was shattered by the Chaos Flower’s stems.

Now, the long saber was shattered by the branch, identical to before.

The crucial point is, the power of the long saber was comparable to the power of the previous Divine Sword.

The power that Su Yang infused was the same, and the fate of both Divine Artifacts ended up identical.

Doesn’t this mean that the branch and the roots of the Chaos Flower are essentially equivalent?

Thinking of this, Su Yang was even more shocked.

Who could have expected that this branch could be compared to the roots of the Chaos Flower?

One must know, the Chaos Flower is unique, an absolute Holy Artifact capable of achieving the strongest.

The roots of such a Holy Artifact are definitely not ordinary. How could this branch be comparable? Could it be that this branch also has some special trait?

In the midst of his confusion, the branch had already merged into Su Yang’s body, leaving only the upper portion still slowly fusing with his body.

At this scene, Su Yang also felt desperate. Even the long saber was shattered—what other method could he use to stop this branch from entering his body?

Moreover, with most of the branch merging into his body, he did not feel any discomfort at all. From this perspective, this branch merging into his body might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Just in the brief moment of pondering, the branch had completely merged into his body, leaving nothing behind.

Su Yang immediately closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the changes in his body.

Initially, there was nothing special about his body, but Su Yang didn’t stop. He still needed to sense the location of the branch.

After all, the branch had entered his body; it must have been somewhere inside him. At this point, locating the branch was necessary to understand the situation.

After some time, Su Yang hadn’t found the branch’s location. But at that moment, he felt something unusual in his body.

Or rather, it was not his body that had changed, but his Spiritual Sense, his soul, that had become unusual.

His soul seemed to be burning with intense heat. Amidst this scorching feeling, Su Yang clearly sensed something trying to meld with his soul.

Su Yang endured the intense mental pain and observed his soul closely.

Finally, Su Yang saw clearly; what was merging with his soul was the branch. The branch melded with his soul, and ultimately his soul transformed into the shape of a small tree.

Su Yang was bewildered. What was going on? His soul was actually assimilated by the branch? What was he considered now? Human? Or tree?

In his confusion, Su Yang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. Following that, a series of intentional memories appeared in his mind.

He saw a man walking in the void, he saw a single eye watching everything from the sky, he saw an illusory stone tablet, he saw bones of countless strong men piled like mountains...

He saw cities bustling like clouds, he saw oddly-shaped life forms, he saw a boundless dark abyss, and countless stars...

Ultimately, all of this turned into a void. After the void shattered, only a dead tree remained in the void, everything else vanished without a trace.

After who knows how long, the surface of the dead tree peeled off a few pieces of bark. And beneath this bark, a curled-up man was what Su Yang had seen before—the man walking alone in the void.

The man appeared to be dead, and below him was a preserved sprig.

The sprig had a few green leaves, growing atop the dead tree.

It was due to the man’s guardianship that the sprig survived, seeming to be the only life left after all else had shattered.

The sprig gently swayed, letting a few of its leaves fall, with only one remaining.

These young leaves fell onto the man’s body, healing all his wounds.

Again, after unknown time passed, a huge Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree grew.

The sprig swayed gently, and the man’s body rose accordingly, slowly ascending onto the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree, merging with it.

The memory ended abruptly here, leaving Su Yang stunned. What was this memory about?

Recalling everything he had seen, Su Yang could be very sure that the memory encompassed the memories of countless Great Worlds.

And in the end, everything shattered, leaving only the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree. This also proved Su Yang’s previous suspicion was correct.

The withered Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree had previously been a complete World Tree. But all the world fruits it bore had shattered, the life brought forth by that World Tree had shattered and perished entirely, and the World Tree eventually became a dead tree.

However, within that World Tree’s world, there was a strong person who ultimately sheltered a sprig with his body, allowing it to survive.

And that sprig also mended the body of that strong person. Finally, when another World Tree rose, that sprig carried the body of that strong person to that World Tree.

Su Yang didn’t know what would happen when the body entered another World Tree. But since the sprig acted this way, there must be a reason.

Perhaps, in a new World Tree, this body could revive and grow into a new life!

If not, the sprig wouldn’t have done such a thing. It waited for so long, seemingly waiting for this opportunity. Did it want to revive that man?
