Chapter 161 The Holy Covenant Enters the Fray

Han Xiao didn't turn his head, casually replying, "As you can see, these are all the reinforcements I've brought, to fill the gap in our battle strength for the two-front war."

The leader of the Void Spirit Religion tapped the table with his knuckles and said in a deep voice, "Don't play dumb. I'm asking how they got here. When did you revive this group of people?"

Hearing this, Han Xiao finally turned his head to glance at the three of them, his tone somber.

"You don't think all the Revivers are willing to appear publicly, do you? I never said that those in the association are all the Revivers. As for who I specifically revived, I have no obligation to tell others. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The three of them choked for a moment, giving him a deep look.

Without much thought, they could guess that this was Black Star's hidden move, a batch of Revivers secretly hidden, most likely arranged during the confrontation years ago, as a trump card against the three major civilizations.

If they had insisted on launching a purge back then, the outcome would have been hard to predict. Now that Han Xiao revealed this trump card, it almost gave the three of them a scare, causing a bit of lingering fear.

However, after knowing each other for so many years, the three of them already had a good understanding of Black Star's unfathomable habits, and were accustomed to Black Star laying hidden pieces everywhere. Perhaps this batch of suddenly appearing Revivers was just the tip of the iceberg of his underground forces…

The three of them felt solemn and retracted their gazes.

This was not the time to dwell on such matters, but the three of them had an even deeper sense of awe for Han Xiao.

Now that Black Star was on equal footing with them, the three of them knew better than to press him when he didn't want to explain.

Moreover, compared to the importance of Black Star himself, a batch of Revivers didn't seem like much. With Han Xiao, a Beyond Grade A gem, in front, the impact of these hidden Revivers on the three of them was limited.

Han Xiao naturally wouldn't take the initiative to explain the origin of the Holy Covenant. Looking at the stern expressions of the three, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Hiding the power of the Holy Covenant organization back then was to leave a backup plan for the association, dividing the Beyond Grade A group into a public and a hidden side, watching over each other.

He originally planned to reveal the tip of the iceberg of the Holy Covenant at the right time, so that the three major civilizations would be wary, but plans could not keep up with changes. Now that he had stepped into the Beyond God realm, his own deterrence was worth more than the entire Beyond Grade A group. The trump card of the Holy Covenant Revivers was not as important as before… but it still had its uses, making the three major civilizations more apprehensive was not a bad thing.

Han Xiao refocused on the battlefield, watched for a while, and suddenly locked onto the Secret Tree King and Klotz, who were fighting in a monitoring screen, his eyes flashing.

"My prey has appeared. Gentlemen, excuse me."

As soon as the words fell, the remote projection disappeared.

Only at this moment did the leaders of the three major civilizations relax their tense bodies, looking at each other, seeing the deep fear in each other's eyes.

……

Shallow Dimension Battlefield, a certain war zone.

Boom!!

Rainbow-like magical flashes penetrated the surging dark energy, hitting Klotz, leaving new wounds. The powerful annihilation force pushed him out, all the way down to the deep brown earth, rumbling and smashing through hundreds of layers of strata.

"Cough cough…"

The cells in his body were withering in large numbers under the influence of annihilation magic. Klotz quickly stabilized his injuries with his energy, then looked up at the enemy in the high sky, his eyes solemn.

The Secret Tree King was floating in the air, overlooking him, brewing balls of forbidden spells around him, rapidly forming and falling like a storm.

Klotz gritted his teeth and suppressed his injuries, manipulating dark energy to meet him. However, after only a moment of stalemate, he was blasted out again, adding many new wounds to his body.

"This Tree King… is a little too strong…"

Klotz covered his wounds, his eyes flashing with surprise.

His judgment of the Tree King's strength came from the Sovereign clones of the Guard Tree King, Heart Tree King, and Calm Tree King. He originally thought that even if he couldn't beat this new Tree King, he could at least hold out for a long time. But Klotz didn't expect this guy who called himself the Secret Tree King to be obviously stronger than the other three. He was also a Pillar of the Nation, yet the other party was beating him like a little brother, with ease and composure.

Among all the opponents he had fought, only Black Star and Ulnos could knead him so easily.

If other Beyond Grade A mages were ordinary magic turrets, then this Secret Tree King was a magic nuclear rapid-fire cannon, the intensity, frequency, and speed of casting far exceeding all the mages Klotz had ever seen!

In the high sky, the Secret Tree King slowed down his offensive, moving his fingers, casually playing with a strand of mana ribbon, and said indifferently:

"To dare to challenge me one-on-one, should I say you are brave, or overestimate yourself? It's a pity, only that mechanic or that esper would be qualified to fight me. Your strength is a bit lacking. If you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to arouse my interest in killing you…"

The opponents that the Secret Tree King valued were only Han Xiao and Ison, Klotz's combat power was not low, and his ability to control dark energy was also quite sharp, but for him, a Supreme Magician who mastered the energy of multiple dimensions, it was not much of a threat.

Feeling the other party's contempt, Klotz had a sullen face, silently gathering his energy, preparing to go all out.

However, at this moment, a wave of spatial fluctuations appeared in the senses of the two. The space wall in the distance opened, and a figure completely hidden in a hooded black robe shuttled over, his robe fluttering, the edges like scattered black flames, exuding the aura of a peak Beyond Grade A, attracting the attention of the two.

"Who are you?" Klotz turned his head to look, not knowing if it was a friend or foe, and immediately became vigilant.

"One of us."

The Oathkeeper glanced at him, then stared at the Secret Tree King, locking onto him from afar.

"Another one came?" The Secret Tree King narrowed his eyes. "You are with that group of unfamiliar reinforcements, right? You should be their leader. Interesting, you actually hid a batch of high-level combat power… Heh, but so what? It won't save the situation. Sooner or later, we will eliminate all your forces in the secondary dimension world!"

Through the Mind Network, he had already learned of the Holy Covenant Revivers supporting the three major civilizations' Beyond Grade As.

In the Secret Tree King's view, facing an opponent of the nature of the World Tree, the three major civilizations felt enormous pressure, and should have come out in full force long ago. But to this day, the other party still had reservations, which was truly unfathomable.

Moreover, with the Secret Tree King's personality, he was a little unhappy about this… What, is our World Tree not worthy of your full effort?!

Ignoring the Secret Tree King, the Oathkeeper communicated with Klotz's spirit, telepathically:

"Leave this place to me, you go assist others."

"Can you do it? This Tree King is very strong. We should deal with him together." Klotz expressed his doubts.

"This Tree King is a magic type. It can be seen that his spells are buffed in the secondary dimension world. I should not be his opponent, but I only need to hold him back. In this regard, I am more suitable than you. There is no need to waste combat power on him."

The Oathkeeper responded.

Not long ago, the expeditionary army's outpost was attacked, and Han Xiao finally notified the Holy Covenant organization to participate in the war. Many Holy Covenant Revivers had already made psychological preparations and did not need to be mobilized. They consciously set off, on the one hand for the Holy Sanctuary revival qualification, and on the other hand because of mutual dependence.

In addition, Han Xiao also asked the Holy Covenant to bring dimensional banishment bombs, high-level life form energy turbulence waves, cross-dimensional detection radars and other special technologies to support them. The Oathkeeper had to act accordingly, because the Holy Covenant organization's troops had always been on standby, so they soon came to support.

Klotz had not yet responded, but at this moment, the Secret Tree King suddenly attacked, releasing various extremely powerful forbidden spells in succession, firing indiscriminately at the two.

Boom boom boom!

The sky was filled with magical light, dazzling and deadly. The Oathkeeper and Klotz immediately reacted, maneuvering and dodging in the light curtain, dodging non-stop.

On the other side, the Secret Tree King was multitasking, rapidly constructing spell models while bombarding with forbidden spells, while communicating with the Ancestral Tree King in the Mind Network:

"There is no sign of that mechanic in the front line battlefield or the secondary dimension battlefield. He has that sealing ability, and will most likely be staring at a Tree King. So his target should be me. Maybe he is observing in secret. After I fight these two opponents for a while, he should jump out to ambush me."

Hearing this, the Ancestral Tree King agreed in the Mind Network, and said in a deep voice: "Your judgment is very reasonable. You continue to entangle. As long as you lure out that mechanic, I will immediately descend and catch him off guard."

"Okay."

The two quickly formulated a plan, preparing to use the Secret Tree King as bait to lure the snake out of its hole.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Since Black Star was likely to be targeting the Secret Tree King, the Ancestral Tree King also chose to strike later, launching an ambush, mainly with two goals. One was to find an opportunity to kill Black Star, and the other was to find a way to rescue the Heart Tree King… Without dealing with Black Star, how could they talk about unsealing? At least they had to snatch back the universe treasure that sealed people.

It wasn't that he cared so much about the Heart Tree King. Even the憨憨 Guard Tree King used two "decisive" self-destructions to escape being sealed. Only the拉胯 Heart Tree King was tricked. The Ancestral Tree King just wanted to take back the sealed Tree King crown, otherwise there would always be a vacancy for one of the five Tree Kings, and even replacing people would be impossible.

With the addition of the Oathkeeper, the two finally held their own against the Secret Tree King. The three fought fiercely, chasing each other, changing battlefields again and again. One moment it was an abyss-like dark purple space, the next it was a sacred silver kingdom, then a formless nascent dimension, and then an unstable end-of-life secondary dimension. Without exception, they were shattered by the aftermath of the three's battle, and batches of fleets were swallowed by the space storm.

The three moved to a shadowy dimension. Suddenly, the space wall in the distance opened, and another new figure entered the battlefield. It was Han Xiao.

The Secret Tree King noticed Han Xiao at a glance, immediately throwing the other two opponents to the back of his mind, staring intently at Han Xiao, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit and fierce killing intent:

"You finally decided to come out?!"

Han Xiao glanced at him, waved his hand to let the Oathkeeper and Klotz stop and retreat to the side, then spoke to the Secret Tree King in the wide-area channel:

"There are three of us here. Aren't you going to run?"

"Run? Who do you think I am?!"

The Secret Tree King suddenly swiped his palm, and an invisible spatial fluctuation swept across this space. The entire secondary dimension suddenly turned into a mirrored space, as if trapped in a crystal. Space facets were flowing with battlefield scene silhouettes, overlapping, dazzling.

A space barrier suddenly formed, isolating Klotz and the Oathkeeper, who could only see what was happening inside the barrier, but could not participate, as if the two sides were in parallel spaces without intersection.

Only the Secret Tree King and Han Xiao were in the barrier, facing each other from afar.

"Are you going to challenge me one-on-one?" Han Xiao glanced around the barrier and laughed strangely.

"I have always wanted to fight you. Why would I run? I thought you would sneak attack, but I didn't expect you to show up openly… But it doesn't matter. This barrier is your and my duel arena. If you have the ability, don't use that teleportation technology to escape. Today, I will kill you!"

The Secret Tree King's eyes flickered. He knew that Black Star had teleportation technology that ignored control, so this barrier was only to prevent other enemies from interfering, creating a false image of a one-on-one battle. As long as Black Star did not teleport away and stayed to face him one-on-one, half of the plan would succeed.

He did not hesitate and immediately cast spells. Various spells with strange effects fired at Han Xiao. On the surface, it seemed to be a fierce one-on-one battle, but in secret, he had already used spells to guide the Ancestral Tree King into the barrier, preparing to launch a pincer attack.

However, before the spells hit their target, a strong high-level pressure centered on Han Xiao swept out like a storm, causing the Secret Tree King's instinctive mind to shake violently!

Boom—

Countless mechs poured out of the Divine Body Fortress, instantly condensing on Han Xiao, combining to form a giant mechanical god, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. The energy fluctuations of the Beyond God grade burst out without reservation!

The Secret Tree King's face changed instantly, and the fierceness on his face instantly turned into horror and disbelief.

"This is the level of a Tree God?!"

He had not a single bit of psychological preparation and was frightened out of his wits.

At this moment, all tactics and plans were thrown to the back of his mind.

The Secret Tree King did not hesitate to construct a teleportation gate, wanting to flee for his life. Where was there any trace of arrogance, only panic remained.

However, Han Xiao was faster than him. The huge mech flickered, teleporting behind the Secret Tree King in an instant, reaching out and tearing apart the surrounding World Tree roots. Then, the Emperor's Sky-Rending Blade slashed down, and the invisible psionic wave burst out like a blade wave.

Crack crack—

The sound of a mirror shattering rang out. Within the range swept by the psionic wave, the space barrier, various forbidden spells, teleportation gates, and everything else constructed by magic power, like collapsing sandcastles, rapidly disintegrated!

There was not a single bit of resistance!

"What?!"

The Ancestral Tree King, who had just teleported not far behind Han Xiao and was planning to ambush him, froze in place, his face suddenly changing drastically!
