Chapter 1 The Beginning

This was a deep and vast space, like the real universe, the black velvet curtain dotted with green stars, bright and dazzling.

Suddenly, a verdant green light was born out of thin air, spinning and expanding, turning into a wormhole-like vortex, and spitting out Han Xiao's figure.

Han Xiao quickly stabilized his body, turned his head to observe the environment, quite curious.

"Where did this bring me?"

He glanced at the panel, and the battle information showed his current state. He had been "swallowed into the body" by the Tree God. This universe-like world was the Tree God's inner space.

In the next moment, Han Xiao immediately felt the rejection of the entire world. Pressure came from all directions, suppressing his power. The Void Domain was squeezed so that it could only stick to the surface of the machinery, almost forming a flat film.

At the same time, Han Xiao also discovered that an unknown corrosive force was continuously reducing his health points, which was displayed as "World Tree's digestive function" in the status bar.

"So I fell into the World Tree's stomach."

Han Xiao thought to himself.

Buzz—

Just then, the green light in front of Han Xiao contracted, condensing into the body of the Tree God. The injuries had been restored, and they faced each other from afar.

King Zu Tree said in a deep voice, "Black Star, our battle is not over yet."

Han Xiao looked him up and down, "This is your inner space, huh? You actually dare to suck me in. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Releasing the inner space domain has no sequelae, because it is just a projection of power, like the advent of a secondary dimension... But sucking the enemy into the inner space is the opposite, which is a dangerous operation. If the inner space itself is damaged, the Beyond Grade A himself will also suffer heavy damage, which is equivalent to actively exposing the vital points to the opponent.

However, in the inner space, the enemy's power will be greatly suppressed, while one's own will gain higher blessings, so this is a double-edged sword.

Even if Han Xiao is very tanky, he is unwilling to suck any enemies into his body, which will only increase the risk. In his opinion, King Zu Tree's move is undoubtedly a desperate gamble, but not a smart one.

"If you don't die, the Mother Tree will never have peace. This is your death ground!"

King Zu Tree's tone was fierce, and he did not hesitate to launch another attack.

Whoosh—Endless green light spewed out, shooting towards Han Xiao like a meteor shower.

Seeing this, Han Xiao lifted the Emperor's Robe, and a thick psionic shield blocked the dense rain of light, with endless explosions.

At the same time, he ordered the mechanical legion to fire, but not at the Tree God, but bombarded in all directions, triggering expanding energy clusters.

Under normal circumstances, attacking the inner space is like turning the opponent's body upside down, and the damage will be fed back to the Tree God.

However, the next moment, something unexpected happened to Han Xiao. The Tree God was not affected at all, and even abandoned all defenses, and the offensive was extremely fierce, as if he was not worried about the damage to the inner space at all.

Han Xiao was a little surprised. His Void Domain was suppressed, while the Tree God was like a fish in water in the inner space. As their power waxed and waned, he was somewhat passive for a while and had to adopt a defensive posture.

"Interesting, your inner space won't be damaged?"

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, while resisting the fierce attack of King Zu Tree, while observing the flow of energy.

Before long, Han Xiao's eyes lit up, he found the clue, and laughed.

"So that's how it is. I roughly guessed it. Your inner space is connected to the World Tree, and the damage is transferred over, right?"

"..."

King Zu Tree's heart tightened. Without answering, the offensive became a few points more intense.

The things swallowed by the World Tree form a "Mother Tree World" in the body, which also has planets and life. Most of them operate according to the state when they were swallowed, without natural increase or decrease, which is equivalent to a special "display hall". If the World Tree members are unwilling to appear in the outside world, they will live in the Mother Tree World, and the so-called transformation entity of the World Tree, from the degree of performance, is like spitting something out of the body to the outside world.

The Tree God has a close connection with the World Tree body, so the inner space is also connected to the Mother Tree World. Strictly speaking, the Tree God's inner space is an avatar and an interlayer of the Mother Tree World. King Zu Tree can spread the damage suffered by the Tree God's inner space to the Mother Tree World.

In this way, the World Tree body will suffer some damage, but the Tree God will not be injured, and can always maintain the peak state... Under normal circumstances, King Zu Tree will not let the World Tree body bear this risk, but now, improving the Tree God's combat power is more important, and he can only make a temporary trade-off.

Therefore, in order not to let the World Tree body suffer further damage, King Zu Tree chose to fight quickly, and solved this enemy before Han Xiao caused greater damage to the inner space!

At this time, seeing Han Xiao so quickly detect his weakness, King Zu Tree's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth.

"Even if I bet on the future, I must kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, the Crown Seat of King Ding Tree shattered suddenly!

The powerful Crown Seat origin power surged in, and the Tree God's power soared again!

Sophisticated mechanical armor spread rapidly on the surface of the Tree God, and at the same time, mechanical soldiers flashing with green light were generated on a large scale around the Tree God. This scene was like a Beyond Grade A mechanic launching [Virtual Creation].

But King Zu Tree did not stop. He endured the soaring pain and directly took over the resource allocation rights of the "King's Relic" from the Mother Tree's will.

Sacrificing the Tree King's Crown Seat is a way to strengthen the Tree God, but it is not the only one. Among the abilities that Han Xiao did not see, there are other strengthening methods, and investing more Beyond Grade A Legacy is another way.

If Beyond Grade A Legacy is the "firewood" that makes the Tree God's power burn, then adding more "firewood" will naturally make the fire burn more vigorously.

Over the years, generations of Tree Kings have failed to attack the Beyond Grade A, leaving behind some "King's Relics", which belong to strategic materials, and one less is used.

Originally, each time the Tree God was summoned, only one copy needed to be consumed, but King Zu Tree could not care so much at this time, and directly burned half of the inventory!

Boom!!

The violent energy tide spread suddenly, and the Tree God's energy level climbed up one after another. The rich and bright green torrent surged, as if to fill the entire space.

"Good fellow, burst again?!"

Han Xiao secretly bared his teeth.

This is too much, you are a Saiyan... oh no, a Saiyan Tree?!

Sacrificing three Crown Seats and burning half of the inventory of Beyond Grade A Legacy, the Tree God's combat power soared to a higher level, and the fighting style also changed accordingly. In addition to using the basic skills of the World Tree's power, various magic, martial arts, and mechanical system methods formed a subtle combination. One person is like a powerhouse of three systems, fighting very fancy, but also amazingly powerful.

For a time, the violent attacks broke through the shield, leaving various scars on the body of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, and one device after another was scrapped.

"I still can't underestimate this guy. With the World Tree Civilization's many years of accumulation as a reliance, the space for combat power fluctuation is very large..."

Han Xiao felt great pressure from the waves of attacks from King Zu Tree, and his heart was slightly awe-inspiring.

If he had not sealed the Heart Tree King's Crown Seat, the complete Tree God might be able to completely suppress him after receiving so many enhancements.

But the current Tree God is inherently incomplete, and the foundation has been weakened, so the burst effect has also been discounted, and it cannot reach its peak.

"It's a pity, if this is your full strength, then the one who dies today will not be me."

Han Xiao's tone condensed.

Boom!!

Before King Zu Tree could react, the energy level of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate suddenly began to skyrocket, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the combat power level of the Tree God after the burst!

All kinds of strange abilities broke out one after another, and suddenly curbed the offensive of King Zu Tree. Han Xiao immediately regained the initiative and launched a fierce counterattack, instantly reversing the situation.

King Zu Tree suddenly widened his eyes, "You are..."

"Tsk, you think bursting is your patent?"

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, and a steady stream of new power merged into his body, bringing an unparalleled sense of power. He almost felt that he could pierce the universe.

The reason for this change was the use of the inventory of character cards, with immediate results!

Since entering the peak Beyond Grade A, Han Xiao has not used character cards much, because there is no need for it, so he has accumulated a large amount of inventory.

Before this expedition, he took precautions and used up all the blank character cards to copy the abilities of different Beyond Grade As, mastering a large number of resources.

It was not easy to accumulate such a large fortune, and Han Xiao activated one character card after another without feeling heartache at this time. He only felt happy and experienced the joy of all-in!

After calculating for so long, he finally had a rare luxury!

Compared to the explosion of the small universe, we are the experts!

Realizing that Black Star's combat power had caught up again, King Zu Tree's mentality exploded.

Every time he managed to widen the gap, he would eventually be caught up. Black Star's unfathomable cards made King Zu Tree, who was already emotionally unstable from enduring the torment of his soul, completely fall into madness!

"Black Star!!"

Bang!

The last Tree King Crown Seat shattered, and King Zu Tree decisively sacrificed his Crown Seat!

He threw any concerns behind his head, and invested all the Beyond Grade A Legacy in the inventory into the Tree God's body, burning it all.

He pushed the Tree God's power at an astonishing speed!

At the same time, faint green cracks spread on the surface of the Tree God, and the huge load was close to the limit of the Tree God.

The Tree God itself has a limit, like a container. When the accumulated power exceeds the maximum capacity, it will burst from the inside.

Perhaps in a perfect state, the capacity of the Tree God can withstand the power at this time, but the incomplete Tree God is like a smaller container, unable to withstand such a load, and the injuries began to accumulate rapidly.

But King Zu Tree directly ignored the overload situation, and launched an indomitable attack on Han Xiao with the soaring power.

At this moment, he had only one thought left, and that was to kill Black Star!

"Come on!"

Han Xiao was full of fighting spirit and met him head-on.

Boom boom boom boom—

The two of them overflowed with terrifying power, only attacking and not defending, and countless times hit each other. The energy collided, forming an ultra-high-density explosion area. Here, space-time was distorted, almost condensing into a singularity.

The two abandoned all distracting thoughts, with only the opponent left in their eyes, attacking each other tirelessly, and the battlefield roamed this universe.

Space trembled and shattered, and starlight dimmed and fell!

The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time, as long as eternity. This war between cheaters finally came to an end.

Burning Beyond Grade A Legacy was the only way to maintain the existence of the Tree God. The Tree God finally ran out of fuel, and the power gained from the burst quickly weakened. The body of the Tree God was already covered with cracks in the overload, like a porcelain that had been pieced together after being broken.

Crack!

The Tree God's chest suddenly cracked, causing a chain reaction. With the chest as the center, the huge body "collapsed" as a whole, turning into light debris all over the sky.

This scene represents the death of the Tree God.

The Tree God also has life. Once killed, the merged Tree Kings will also be severely damaged, and the Tree God's advent will fall into cooldown for a long time... In addition, because all four Tree King Crown Seats have been sacrificed, the World Tree will no longer be able to summon the Tree God.

In the light debris all over the sky, King Zu Tree's body floated, as if he had overdrawn all his life, and became old and wrinkled.

As the Tree God collapsed, King Zu Tree was also slowly turning into ashes, and his life was like a candle in the wind.

"I lost... I'm sorry Mother Tree, I have failed you... Only a little bit away, I'm not reconciled..."

King Zu Tree's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he muttered to himself.

Han Xiao still did not relax, receiving King Zu Tree's intermittent brain waves, he clicked his tongue, and said mercilessly:

"What a little bit away, from beginning to end, you had no chance of winning at all."

King Zu Tree turned his head, staring at Han Xiao, and said in a hoarse voice:

"...I didn't protect my civilization, but sooner or later, you will also taste my current despair! I curse you..."

"Don't look so bitter and hateful. When you destroy other civilizations, you should be prepared to be destroyed by others."

Han Xiao had no intention of talking nonsense with him, stretched out his big hand, grabbed King Zu Tree directly, and squeezed it suddenly.

Poof!

King Zu Tree was crushed at once, shattered into light dust, disappeared, and his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

Han Xiao was not interested in waiting for him to slowly burp, and directly ended him. He was not a villain who didn't know how to finish off his opponents.

Because of the World Tree's operation, King Zu Tree had lost his ability to be resurrected. Death in this state meant that he was really dead, and he disappeared completely.

"Finally got rid of him. Good fellow, I was almost squeezed dry."

Only at this moment did Han Xiao finally relax his nerves, and he was exhausted.

Although he won this fight, Han Xiao was also very tired. The Tree God in the final stage was like he had activated the Self-Moving Ultra Instinct, which was really fierce, and almost broke his Supreme Heavenly Venerate machinery several times.

Strictly speaking, it was not Han Xiao who killed the Tree God, but King Zu Tree himself. The damage caused by the overload and the exhaustion of the Beyond Grade A Legacy were the main reasons why the Tree God ran out of fuel.

If the Tree God was in a perfect state with the five Crown Seats gathered, Han Xiao felt that he might not really be an opponent.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as if in the world.

Kacha Kacha—

At this moment when the Tree God died completely, the inner space began to collapse rapidly, cracking like a broken mirror, and dazzling light flowed in each crack, all leading to the outside world.

Han Xiao calmed down, put the severely damaged mechanical legion back into the God Body Fortress, and drove the huge Supreme Heavenly Venerate, drove into one of the cracks, and disappeared into the light.
