Chapter 0609: It Truly Is the World Tree
Feng Jinshan, Wei Fulei, and the others bowed respectfully before quickly flying after them.
Upon learning that Huang Long and the others were fleeing by air, Leo and Opot began pursuing with all their might, unleashing their divine senses. Along the way, their powerful air-piercing forces caused the surrounding space to crack continuously.
The strong warriors from the major families below fell silent in fear.
Mori closely followed behind Leo and the others, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Huang Long, Huang Long, Huang Long!
The name Huang Long filled his mind entirely.
Wei Fulei sensed Mori’s fierce killing intent and sneered inwardly, but said aloud, “Mori, with Leo and Opot, the two Divine Kings here, Huang Long can’t escape. You don’t need to worry!”
Mori regained some clarity and forced a smile, saying, “Thank you for your concern, Brother Wei Fulei!”
Wei Fulei nodded.
Mori turned back, looking ahead, feeling the chill of the wind, and considering whether to reveal that Huang Long came from a mid-tier divine plane.
Though it was hard to believe, Tianlong Mountain and Fengjin Mountain would surely investigate this matter.
Weighing the pros and cons, Mori’s expression shifted unpredictably.
As Leo, Opot, and the others pursued with all their strength, Huang Long, Livia, and the others were approaching the border between the Kale Continent and the Saint El Continent.
“As long as we cross these Pole Mountains, we’ll reach the Saint El Continent!” said Euna, the eldest elder of Silver Fox Mountain. After saying this, the people of Silver Fox Mountain relaxed, and so did those from the Moore Mountains.
Throughout the journey, despite the presence of Huang Long and Divine Queen Livia, everyone still felt uneasy.
Now, they were finally about to leave the Kale Continent. Once outside, those from Tianlong Mountain and Fengjin Mountain would have to be more cautious if they wanted to pursue them.
A thousand Derji ago, the Five Mountains agreed that, using the borders of the three continents as a line, the Divine Kings were not allowed to cross these boundaries and kill warriors above the rank of Supreme God without reason.
Moreover, once inside the Saint El Continent, it fell under the jurisdiction of Silver Fox Mountain.
Although Silver Fox Mountain was still far away, half of the forces in the Saint El Continent were under its control. By then, if Livia gathered these powerful forces, Tianlong Mountain and Fengjin Mountain would face difficulties, unless the people from Leipeng Mountain came to help.
Suddenly, at that moment, Livia stopped, and then Huang Long also stopped.
Everyone was puzzled.
“It seems it won’t be easy for us to reach Silver Fox Mountain smoothly,” Huang Long said with a smile.
Surprise flashed in Livia’s eyes as she smiled meaningfully, “I didn’t expect Brother Huanglong to have noticed as well.” Huanglong had discovered Leo and the others around the same time as her—did that mean his soul power was comparable to hers as the Supreme Divine King?!
In fact, Livia was right. Although Huanglong’s soul power wasn’t as strong as hers, it wasn’t much weaker either. So, even if Leo and Opot tried to kill him with soul attacks, it would likely be impossible.
Yuna, Jerome, and the others were confused but guessed that they were being pursued, and the people behind them must be from Tianlong Mountain or Fengjin Mountain.
“Everyone, speed up and return to the Holy Earth Continent at full speed!” After her initial shock, Livia calmed down and gave the order.
Everyone replied respectfully.
“Wait!” Just then, Huanglong spoke up to stop them.
Livia looked at him in confusion.
A flash appeared between Huanglong’s brows, and the Group of Immortal Palaces appeared before them.
“This spiritual treasure of mine can carry people and fly at high speed. It can also hide us, so even Leo and Opot won’t be able to detect us,” Huanglong explained.
What? Even Leo and Opot can’t detect us?! Livia and the others couldn’t hide their shock, but more so, their disbelief, thinking Huanglong was exaggerating.
Huanglong noticed their expressions and, knowing they didn’t believe him, said nothing more.
After all, if it weren’t for him who created these immortal palaces, not even he would believe it. If they could hide and evade the Divine King’s perception, what did that mean?! It meant that once inside, no one in the world except the Holy King could discover them!
Huanglong didn’t explain further and flew into one of the immortal palaces. Jerome and the others followed. Watching the people from Mole Mountain enter one after another, Livia pondered for a moment before saying to those from Silver Fox Mountain, “We should go in too.”
Yuna opened her mouth to speak, but by then, Livia had already flown into the immortal palace, leaving Yuna and the others no choice but to follow.
When Yuna flew inside, she saw Divine King Livia staring in astonishment ahead. Yuna and the others were puzzled and looked up. When they saw the magnificent palaces floating in the clouds, they were stunned as well.
At that moment, strong streams of spiritual energy rushed towards them. Their pores opened, and a sense of relief spread throughout their bodies. Only then did they realize that the white clouds surrounding the palaces were actually condensed spiritual energy!
Good heavens! What is going on here?!
Is this the inner space of that Holy King’s spiritual treasure as precious as gold?!
They had always taken Silver Fox Mountain as their pride, for it was rich in spiritual energy and highly conducive to cultivation. Yet, only upon being inside this Immortal Pavilion’s space did they realize that compared to it, their Silver Fox Mountain was nothing but a desolate and barren place.
Apart from Zerom, Warner and the others, nearly a billion god-tier powerhouses from the Mor Mountain Range were also stunned, mouths agape. At that moment, Yellow Dragon ordered Warner beside him to issue a command, asking these nearly a billion god-tier powerhouses from the Mor Mountain Range to gather at the Heavenly Palace. Under Warner’s order, the leaders of various peaks in the Mor Mountain Range quickly recovered from their shock and led their god-tier powerhouses to occupy the various halls of the Heavenly Palace.
Yellow Dragon turned to Livia and said, “Livia, please!” Livia responded, suppressing her shock, her beautiful eyes shining as she nodded at Yellow Dragon with a gentle expression, like a virtuous wife before her husband.
Suddenly, the spiritual clouds surrounding the Heavenly Palace parted, revealing a straight path of steps that stretched from the Dragon Palace at the center all the way down to the front hall of the Immortal Pavilion. Yellow Dragon and Livia walked side by side, with Una and the others following in daze. Walking alongside Yellow Dragon through the clouds, Livia felt the masculine aura emanating from him, and suddenly, something deep within her heart stirred.
As Yellow Dragon and Livia walked toward the Dragon Palace, the Immortal Pavilion turned into a speck of dust far smaller than a speck of dust itself, sinking straight into the earth, pushing aside rocks as it went deeper. Only after reaching far beneath the surface, beyond the magma layer, did the Immortal Pavilion stop and begin flying at full speed across the Saint El Continent underground.
Inside the magma layer, the magma boiled at extreme temperatures, but it had no effect on the Immortal Pavilion. Not even the most powerful divine flames could harm it now that it had advanced to the peak of mid-tier Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.
As the Immortal Pavilion flew at full speed, a faint light enveloped it, flowing in harmony with the boiling magma in the magma layer. As the Immortal Pavilion became a speck of dust far smaller than a speck of dust, racing through the magma layer deep underground, Leo and Opot’s figures appeared above the original location where the Immortal Pavilion had disappeared underground.
“Strange, it’s gone?!” Leo frowned, turning around to look around, extending his spiritual senses, but finding nothing. Opot also frowned, a cold glint in his eyes. At that moment, Wifley, Mori, and the others arrived one after another. Seeing Yellow Dragon and the others vanish into thin air, Mori and the others looked extremely upset, especially Mori.
It’s like the relationship between a hunter and his prey. When chasing relentlessly and seeing the prey just ahead only to have it vanish suddenly, one can imagine the hunter’s fury. Of course, in the eyes of Morie and the others, they and the Yellow Dragon were in a hunter-prey relationship. At that moment, Leo had an idea—he sent his consciousness deep underground, into the magma layer, and let it spread in all directions. Leo’s consciousness was vast; under its penetration and spread, it instantly reached the Qunxian Pavilion, which was flying at full speed underground. Yet, as it passed by the Qunxian Pavilion, it continued to scan ahead. Since the exterior of the Qunxian Pavilion was covered by a glow that matched the flow of the magma, Leo didn’t notice anything unusual. Even if Leo or Opot and the others had noticed something odd, they still wouldn’t be able to do anything to the Yellow Dragon and the others. With layers of earth separating them, Leo and Opot’s attacks were greatly weakened. Even if they managed to hit the Qunxian Pavilion, they couldn’t destroy it with its protective arrays in place. After Leo, Opot also sent his consciousness underground to search, but to no avail. “Keep chasing!” Leo said with a dark expression after a while, then continued flying north. He certainly wasn’t willing to give up so easily. Fweile, Morie, and the others followed behind them. However, they all knew that the chances of intercepting the Yellow Dragon this time were almost zero. Meanwhile, inside the Qunxian Pavilion, the Yellow Dragon and Livia walked along the celestial stairs toward the center of the heavenly palace, the highest Dragon Palace. Watching the spiritual beasts running around and the exotic flowers everywhere, Livia suddenly realized that she seemed to be unable to see through the Yellow Dragon any more. “What other secrets does he have?” she wondered in surprise. “Is that the World Tree?!” As they got closer to the Dragon Palace, Livia suddenly stared in disbelief at the towering green tree above it. Earlier, shocked by the Qunxian Pavilion, Livia hadn’t paid close attention to the Nether Divine Tree and thus hadn’t recognized it. Now, as she got closer and examined it closely, she recognized it as the World Tree. The World Tree? The Yellow Dragon had an idea. Leo said the Nether Divine Tree was the World Tree, and Livia said the same—so it seemed true. The World Tree? The Yellow Dragon gazed at the Nether Divine Tree thoughtfully. Before reaching the Dragon Palace, Livia looked at the towering green tree in disbelief again and said blankly, “It really is the World Tree!” Clearly, seeing the World Tree here had a profound impact on her. “I obtained this Nether Divine Tree by chance,” the Yellow Dragon said. “By chance?!” Livia didn’t know how to express her thoughts.
