Chapter 151 He's Not My Match

The surging martial arts aura blazed, and the World Tree's movements became even faster, its strength greatly increased. It suddenly grabbed the incoming Emperor's Void Cleaver, stopping the blade and trapping it in mid-air.

At the same time, countless roots shot out from the World Tree's body, the ends curled up and knotted, like hammerheads, resembling thousands upon thousands of fists, launching a furious barrage of attacks against the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body.

The sky was filled with green "fist shadows" that pierced through the combined shield constructed by the mechanical legions, bombarding the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body, causing it to tremble and crack.

Energy surged from the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's back time and time again, erupting into rainbow-like green shockwaves, their momentum undiminished, shattering warships behind with a force that struck through mountains.

"Close combat ability greatly increased. This should be the Crown of the Town Tree King that it sacrificed, right?"

Han Xiao calmly analyzed as he felt the force of the blows against his body.

He had seen the [Tree King's Crown - Liberation] when he extracted the World Tree's ability. The World Tree had not used this skill during their last encounter, so this was his first time witnessing it.

Seeing the actual effect now, Han Xiao felt a sense of familiarity, as if this move was a character card, used to acquire the superpower system power stored in different Tree King Crowns.

"The World Tree has a total of five... no, now four Tree King Crowns, which means the World Tree can burst at least four more times. The power will continue to stack, and the final combat strength is estimated to be terrifying, and this doesn't even take into account whether the World Tree has other explosive abilities."

Han Xiao quickly calculated in his mind.

When the World Tree used its one-time burst ability, the best way was to avoid its edge, but the situation did not allow it... The high-dimensional apocalypse teleporter was one-way. If he wanted the large forces to teleport back, he would have to set up a new group of teleporters here. Now that the large forces were inextricably fighting with the World Tree, they would naturally not retreat halfway, otherwise many soldiers would have sacrificed in vain.

Moreover, Han Xiao also wanted to face the World Tree head-on in its burst state. After all, with his current level, it was difficult to find an opponent, and it was not easy to encounter one. How could he not 'cherish' it?

'It seems I have to show more of my true abilities. Let me see how many tricks you have.'

Han Xiao's eyes flashed with electricity.

He had long known that the World Tree had the ability to burst, but the Ancestor Tree King thought he was unaware and wanted to give him a surprise attack, but he had already been prepared.

On the other side, the Ancestor Tree King tightly grasped the Emperor's Void Cleaver, not allowing Han Xiao's weapon to escape its control. A steady stream of power surged from its body, wrestling with the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, and actually gained a slight advantage, pushing Han Xiao back.

Taking advantage of Han Xiao's inability to move, the Ancestor Tree King controlled a large number of roots to launch a barrage of attacks on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's wide-open chest and abdomen.

The mechanical legions also reacted and began to constantly block the World Tree's attacks. At the same time, the mechanical particles flowing on the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body also transformed into streaks of training, intercepting the roots' attacks halfway, with incredible speed.

Boom boom boom boom—

From a distance, countless blurred streamers of light and afterimages rose around the two Transcendent Grades, intersecting and colliding with each other. Metal and tree roots clashed at high frequency, and continuous shockwaves exploded in mid-air.

"Your power is already below me!"

The Ancestor Tree King's expression was fierce as it twisted the Emperor's Void Cleaver, pouring power into its arm, ready to exert force for subsequent attacks.

However, at this moment, an irresistible terrifying force suddenly came from the blade, instantly overwhelming its power!

Boom!

In the next moment, the Emperor's Void Cleaver, which was originally stuck in mid-air, suddenly broke free from the World Tree's stance and slashed down, sweeping across in an instant, cutting diagonally from the World Tree's shoulder to its waist, leaving a huge wound. The World Tree was almost cut in half with one strike.

"What?!"

The Ancestor Tree King was instantly horrified. Instead of retreating, it advanced, quickly rushing forward to wrap around Han Xiao, wanting to use the power after the Crown Liberation to control Han Xiao and stop his subsequent attacks.

However, the result was far from what it had imagined. The World Tree was suppressed by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate with brute force and almost dismembered like it was undergoing lingchi... The power brought by sacrificing the martial arts Crown was still suppressed by Han Xiao!

The Ancestor Tree King was horrified. It finally managed to detonate the martial arts aura to break free, but the World Tree's body was already tattered. A countless amount of the newly born flesh and blood had been shaved off, and it was recovering.

Han Xiao casually cut off the World Tree roots that were blocking his pursuit, and looked at the World Tree from afar, clicking his tongue as if dissatisfied.

"You were making such a big noise, but is this all you've got?"

"You..."

Feeling Han Xiao's constantly rising energy level, the Ancestor Tree King's expression was gloomy.

It thought that it would be able to turn the tables after using Crown Liberation, but reality gave it a slap in the face. It didn't expect that it would still be no match for Han Xiao after bursting, and the other party's combat effectiveness was still rising.

The Ancestor Tree King gritted its teeth and made a decision.

"Don't be happy too early, I haven't reached my limit yet!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the Crown of the Secret Tree King shattered!

A new source of power was released, as if adding fuel to the World Tree's core furnace, and the energy level broke through the limit again!

Countless mysterious magic knowledge suddenly flooded into its brain. At the same time, large areas of precise and complex magic circuits appeared on the World Tree's body, forming enchanted runes.

In an instant, the power of the magic Crown was also added to the World Tree!

The World Tree's domain expanded once again, almost flattening the virtual domain!

"Aaaaaah—"

A stronger load descended, and the Ancestor Tree King's mental strength soared again, but it also brought it more intense pain. Its soul let out an uncontrollable wail, and its emotions were further intensified.

It endured the pain and mobilized the new power, launching an even stronger attack against Han Xiao.

Rumble—

Dense and complex forbidden spells composed of surging mana nearly drained the surrounding battlefield of free energy, transforming into seven-colored strong light that engulfed Han Xiao's entire body, containing extreme lethality within its brilliance.

While maintaining the magic bombardment, the World Tree rushed into the light of the explosion, chasing after the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's body. Fists and roots containing amazing martial arts aura landed on Han Xiao continuously, making booming sounds!

The Ancestor Tree King stared with bloodshot eyes, attacking tirelessly again and again!

"Black Star! I will never let you destroy my civilization!"

The roaring mental fluctuations swept through the battlefield, instantly moving countless people!

But at this moment, a rich aura of extreme bloodshed suddenly erupted in front of it.

Buzz!!

Before the Ancestor Tree King could react, a sharp cold light suddenly lit up. It only felt a great force attacking its chest, and saw the Emperor's Void Cleaver flying over and directly piercing its chest.

In the next second, the Ancestor Tree King realized that its arm was firmly fixed. Not only that, but all the roots in the attacks suddenly stopped and could not be pulled out.

The light of the magic bombardment dissipated, revealing the appearance of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Han Xiao was now surrounded by blood energy, gripping the World Tree's arm. Mechanical particles formed countless tentacle-like limbs, densely extending from his back, precisely entangling every World Tree root, all together stalemated in mid-air, like bridges.

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate's power increased rapidly, soon surpassing the World Tree's second-stage Crown Liberation, making it impossible for the Ancestor Tree King to break free.

"You..."

The Ancestor Tree King's eyes widened.

But before it could make a move, Han Xiao suddenly headbutted it, causing it to feel dizzy.

Then, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate grabbed the World Tree's arm and pressed it down, while raising his knee and leg, a violent knee strike shattered the World Tree's head, exploding a green shockwave. Immediately, Han Xiao reached out and stabbed his large hand into the gap in the World Tree's head, all the way to the chest cavity, grabbing a tangled mass of roots, and pulled them out with a bang, tearing out a large area of broken tree roots.

If it was a normal living being, this would have pulled out the spine and internal organs. Even the World Tree, with its special body structure, felt very uncomfortable.

At this time, Han Xiao pulled out the Emperor's Void Cleaver inserted in the World Tree's chest, and then used Virtual Creation to transform countless physical giant cannons in the surrounding area, aiming at the World Tree.

Rumble rumble rumble—

A round of salvo, an unknown number of planet-mass equivalent physical projectiles directly blasted the World Tree beyond recognition, wood chips flying everywhere.

The terrifying kinetic energy pushed the World Tree to roll and fly out, creating a blank area in the battlefield. Han Xiao followed closely, all the way breaking through to the middle of the third defense circle.

It was not until then that the Ancestor Tree King stopped its retreat, activated teleportation, and hurriedly avoided Han Xiao's pursuit, jumping away a distance and quickly summoning more World Tree roots to urgently repair the damage.

Seeing this, Han Xiao flicked the blade and said casually:

"Is that all you've got? Is there more?"

Few people could surpass him in terms of the number and quality of attribute amplification abilities. The World Tree had burst twice in a row, and its combat effectiveness had increased a lot, but it was still not enough in front of him.

Although he had not entered the Transcendent Grade for long, as long as he activated all the buffs, his own combat effectiveness could leap to a very astonishing level. Han Xiao was not sure what level he was in the Transcendent Grade when he was at full power.

Hearing this, the Ancestor Tree King became more and more emotional, and emotions such as anger, astonishment, and unwillingness filled its mind.

Sacrificing two Tree King Crowns, paying such a huge price, but its combat effectiveness was still not as good as Black Star's?!

The Ancestor Tree King was already in a dilemma. For it, stalemate was meaningless. If it couldn't kill Black Star, then the other party could make a comeback countless times. Now there was only one way to go, and that was to kill Black Star at all costs.

Various chaotic thoughts flashed through its mind, and the Ancestor Tree King glanced at the mother tree's body, a firm look appearing in its eyes.

Seeing that the Ancestor Tree King did not answer, Han Xiao was about to continue his attack, but at this moment, the surrounding World Tree fleets rushed towards him like crazy.

"Protect the mother tree!"

"Charge, buy the World Tree time to breathe!"

"Fight for our homeland!"

Countless World Tree warriors shouted and fought fiercely.

Seeing this, Han Xiao casually waved his firepower, and batches of approaching fleets were wiped out. New troops were added later, and many World Tree soldiers went to their deaths, using their lives to form a line of defense to prevent him from pursuing the World Tree, just to buy even a second more of recovery time for the severely damaged World Tree.

However, in the face of absolute power gap, the determination to die had no meaning. No matter how many fleets there were, they would all be wiped out under the psionic wave.

Countless World Tree眷族 swarmed like moths to a flame, leaving behind a paralyzed "corpse" of warships, with only silence left in the ship, and the crew had already died under the psionic wave.

Han Xiao was hardly hindered, and stepped on the corpses of countless World Tree warships, pointing directly at the severely injured World Tree. The huge figure of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate exuded a despairing aura.

Seeing this tragic scene, many players who were fighting were also moved.

"They should have been evenly matched opponents, but why do I feel like an adult is bullying a child..."

"Look at Black Star's style, I'm a little confused, which one is the villain Boss."

"Come on, big brother playing with tree roots!"

In the midst of the players' cheering, Han Xiao, with a world-destroying aura, heavily slammed into the not-yet-fully recovered World Tree, carrying it forward at a rapid pace.

The World Tree seemed to have lost its ability to resist and could not stop Han Xiao's footsteps at all. The two were entangled together, directly breaking through the third and fourth defense lines, and soon reached the innermost fifth defense circle. The World Tree's body that supported this dimension was still close at hand.

The eyes of the Star Cluster Alliance and the World Tree Fleet were all focused on this, watching Black Star approaching the World Tree's body, everyone's hearts were instantly hanging.

But at this moment, the World Tree's green domain suddenly expanded.

Buzz!!

The green light flashed, enveloping the figures of the two, and then suddenly shrank into a point of light, flashed, and then disappeared.

The two were swallowed in, and disappeared from the battlefield under the eyes of everyone. Any detection device lost track of the two.

This scene was unexpected to the Star Cluster Alliance. Countless people's hearts suddenly contracted, panicked and confused, not knowing what happened.

At the same time, the Star Cluster Alliance Strategic Command.

Simon suddenly rushed to the table, his emotions were excited, his eyes widened and he stared at the signal point that disappeared in the sand table, unable to hide his shock.

"Where's Black Star? Where did such a big Black Star go? Where did they both go?!"
