Chapter 1064: Sealing Qingang

“Pfft!”
Faced with this terrifying force, Qingang spat out blood violently, flying away like withered leaves before crashing into a massive planet deep in the vast starry sky.
One after another, these giant planets exploded upon collision.
These planets were formed from the condensed energy of the Cosmic Bell’s Heavenly Star Array, and naturally, they couldn’t withstand the power of a sacred body!
However, after these planets exploded, driven by the spirit of the Cosmic Bell—Bell Emperor—they kept emerging, without Huang Long needing to intervene at all.
As Qingang was sent flying, the World Tree and the World Heart resonated, eventually merging completely. At the moment of fusion, a green light exploded outward thousands of times stronger.
This sudden burst of light was so intense that even Huang Long and Qingang, who had been sent flying, couldn’t keep their eyes open.
But it was only for a moment; the light disappeared.
Everything returned to calm.
Huang Long opened his eyes and saw a towering giant tree standing amidst the vast starry sky.
He couldn’t describe just how huge this tree was. The Cosmic Bell’s Heavenly Star Array created an endless expanse of stars, yet to Huang Long, it seemed as though this vast sky couldn’t even contain this towering tree.
It seemed as if the tree might tear the sky apart.
Although Huang Long had anticipated that the World Tree would transform after merging with the World Heart, he never expected it to transform to such an extent. The World Tree that had previously merged fragments of many worlds was already enormous.
But compared to this transformed World Tree, it was nothing but a sapling!
Yes, a sapling!
Now, the massive trunk of the World Tree stretched countless miles high, with a diameter so vast it resembled a giant wall standing in the universe.
Branches extended from the massive trunk for countless miles, covered in lush leaves that shone brightly.
Each of these leaves was as large as an ancient city!
Huang Long even had the illusion that even if all the beings from Hongmeng City in the Hongmeng World were moved to live on one of these leaves, there would still be plenty of space.
Too huge!
It was simply too huge!
At the same time, Huang Long also noticed that the spiritual energy absorbed by the transformed World Tree had undergone another qualitative change, reaching the level of sacred grade!
A sacred-grade spiritual vein!
Yes, a sacred-grade spiritual vein!
Given enough time, the World Tree could give birth to sacred-grade spiritual veins.
Such sacred-grade spiritual veins were beyond comparison to ordinary ones—even some Holy Ones of Hunyuan might not possess them; for example, the Three Pure Ones didn’t!

Only Hongjun possesses the sacred spiritual veins for cultivation. Huang Long’s breathing became rapid—from now on, he would truly be the richest being in the universe! No matter whether it was the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Xuanhuang Sect, the Wu Liang Gate, or the Corpse Demon Sect, all their wealth accumulated over countless eras paled in comparison to Huang Long’s! Seeing this, Qing Cang gazed at the World Tree before him, feeling its pure spiritual energy, his eyes burning with passion so much so that he momentarily forgot to flee. Even saints at the Hunyuan He Dao realm would be tempted by such sacred spiritual veins. At that moment, the World Tree transformed into a stream of light, flying toward Huang Long, landing atop the clouds above his head, then sinking into his body and taking root in his sea of soul. In an instant, Huang Long’s sea of soul gained a vast amount of memory. Huang Long realized this was the memory of the World Heart, or rather, the memory of the World Tree from long ago—including the three thousand great paths, why the World Tree shattered back then, and why Pangu perished! It turned out that the Central Sacred Lord had orchestrated the battle between the World Tree and Pangu! Later, Pangu was killed by the World Tree, but when the World Tree was created using Pangu’s Divine Axe of Creation, the Central Sacred Lord intervened from behind and caused the World Tree to fall! Pangu’s strength was not at the peak of the later stage of the Hunyuan He Dao realm but had already surpassed it to reach the Hunyuan Da Luo realm! All of this flooded into Huang Long’s soul memories like a tide, merging with them. Fortunately, Huang Long had achieved sainthood; otherwise, his soul could not have endured the memories of the World Tree. In just the blink of an eye, Huang Long merged with those memories, his overall power undergoing a dramatic transformation. Although his physical strength hadn’t increased, his soul realm had advanced significantly. Suddenly, a golden light flashed and shot toward Huang Long’s chest. Huang Long opened his eyes, emitting a burst of golden light. With a mere gesture of his hands, he blocked that golden light—it was Qing Cang’s Soul-Slaying Golden Halberd. Instead of fleeing, Qing Cang harbored murderous intent, aiming to severely injure Huang Long at the moment he merged with the transformed World Tree! Huang Long looked at Qing Cang at the other end of the halberd with a cold gaze. With a gesture of his left hand, 365 giant planets flew out from the depths of the starry sky. Simultaneously, with the power of his right hand, he seized the Soul-Slaying Golden Halberd, sending Qing Cang flying away. The 365 giant planets rushed toward the flying Qing Cang and exploded all at once. “Wow!” Qing Cang felt as if his body had been turned upside down. He stared in horror at Huang Long. In just an instant after merging with the transformed World Tree, Huang Long’s attacking power had doubled again?!

This time, Qing Cang couldn’t care less about the World Tree or even his Soul-Slaying Golden Halberd. He immediately summoned the Heavenly Dao Wheel and hurled it at the vast starry sky.
Now, he was determined to break through the barrier formed by the stars around the Chaos Bell in order to escape!
“Escape? Hehe, kid, if you think you can run away, can you really?” The voice of the Heart of the World, now the World Tree, echoed through the vast starry sky.
“All those years ago, that old bastard in the center schemed against me, causing me to end up in this situation. Now, I’m going to collect some interest first!”
Suddenly, countless branches of the World Tree appeared in the space around Qing Cang’s body, instantly surrounding him tightly, leaving not even a sliver of air or light. There wasn’t even any darkness!
This was the World Tree’s Void Barrier!
Qing Cang paled in shock and attacked with both fists, but it was useless. Under his attacks, his strength was completely absorbed by the void energy within the barrier!
In the end, Qing Cang even summoned the Heavenly Dao Wheel and unleashed its most powerful attack, the Cycle of Calamity, but it still failed—within the Void Barrier, even the light of reincarnation was ineffective!
Watching Qing Cang trapped in the Void Barrier by the World Tree, Huang Long sneered. Now, he was the World Tree, and the World Tree was him. With a wave of his hands, the Void Barrier formed by the World Tree shrank and finally turned into a stream of light that entered the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.
At present, the World Tree hadn’t fully regained its strength and couldn’t kill Qing Cang, but it could seal him inside the Void Barrier forever.
“Bad news, Huang Long! That old bastard, the Holy Lord of the Center, seems to have noticed something strange here. Let’s go quickly!” suddenly, the World Tree said urgently.
