Shi Xiaobai had vanished.
One-Pun's [God's Guardian] was supposed to be able to accurately pinpoint the target's location, regardless of the distance, but this time, it failed. He was unable to lock onto Shi Xiaobai's location.
There were only two possibilities for this to happen.
The first possibility was that Shi Xiaobai was in a place where [God's Guardian] could not locate him. Although such a situation had never happened before, One-Pun was unable to determine how wide [God's Guardian]'s lock-on range was. Perhaps there was a corner of the world that could block his lock-on, or Shi Xiaobai had gone to another world separated by a spatial wall.
This possibility was very small, but it existed.
The second possibility was that the target was dead. Then, the lock-on would automatically be removed.
However, this possibility was nearly impossible. This was because if Shi Xiaobai were to die, One-Pun would definitely be able to sense 'danger' before his death, and use [God's Guardian] to teleport to Shi Xiaobai's side.
But up to now, One-Pun had not sensed any 'danger'. The three targets he was protecting were all safe. If even this point needed to be doubted, then the power of [God's Guardian] itself could not be trusted.
"It looks like I have to take the initiative to make a trip over."
One-Pun thought to himself.
[God's Guardian]'s teleportation was split into two types. One was protective teleportation. When the protected target encountered danger, it would passively teleport to the target's side. This teleportation method did not exhaust any of the user, but it would only be activated when the protected target encountered danger.
The other was active teleportation. There were no restrictions when the protected target encountered danger. It could automatically teleport to the protected target at any time. However, this activation required a large amount of Psionic Power. According to One-Pun's present Psionic Power, using it once would drain about half of his Psionic Power.
Expending half of his Psionic Power to teleport to an unpredictable location was no doubt a risk.
However, be it his appreciation for Shi Xiaobai's character and personality, or the importance he placed on this young genius who had broken the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's ten-thousand-year history, One-Pun could not ignore it.
"God's Guardian — Active Teleportation."
One-Pun had proactively used [God's Guardian]. After an instant of spatial teleportation, he arrived in an unfamiliar place.
Typically, the person who appeared in front of him was the youth who called himself This King, but what he saw was a towering tree that spanned a hundred meters in diameter.
To be precise, there were two of them. One rose from the ground, and the other grew upside down with the sky as its soil. The canopies of the two giant trees met at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, forming a dark green haze that shrouded the sky.
The two giant trees were said to have grown overnight. The spectacle of the giant trees fighting was sensational news. It was the headline of today's newspaper. One-Pun had also heard of it, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was a little shocked.
It wasn't because of the size of the trees, but because One-Pun sensed that the two trees contained immense power.
The stronger one was, the more they could sense the power emitted by the giant tree. It was as if two giant Divine Soldiers were looking down on all living things. That kind of disdain for all living things made One-Pun wary.
Soon, One-Pun sensed a familiar aura amidst the power.
It was the aura of that youth.
There was a faint aura that belonged to Shi Xiaobai emanating from the trunk of the gigantic tree that rose from the ground.
One-Pun's expression changed slightly.
[God's Guardian]'s teleportation location could not be wrong. Shi Xiaobai should be right in front of him, but all he could see was the ancient tree's trunk that resembled a gigantic wall. Furthermore, he could sense Shi Xiaobai's aura from the trunk, so the answer was obvious.
"Shi Xiaobai is in the tree!"
One-Pun's expression was solemn.
If Shi Xiaobai was really inside the gigantic tree, it might be reasonable for the tree's power to prevent [God's Guardian] from locking onto him.
However, how was he to determine if Shi Xiaobai was safe inside the gigantic tree?
Furthermore, the competition between the organization faction and the academic faction would begin tomorrow. This competition that was watched by the entire country was a precious honor for any rookie. Perhaps Shi Xiaobai did not care about it, but it would be a pity to miss it.
He had to 'get' Shi Xiaobai out of the tree.
How to 'get' him was a problem. One-Pun pondered for a long time before finally choosing the most clumsy method.
He pulled out the Moon Reflection Blade from his waist and squatted down slightly. With his body slanted, he assumed a horizontal slashing stance.
A purple halo rapidly flowed along the blade's edge as Psionic Powers gathered and sword intent condensed, gradually transforming into surging power.
"Guardian" — that was One-Pun's Sword Truth.
Weng!
The Moon Reflection Blade slashed out horizontally as a clear sword hum resounded. The power of his Sword Truth surged, and like a meteor cleaving the moon, a purple sword beam in a semicircle slashed at the towering tree!
Cleaving the gigantic tree and rescuing the youth from the tree was the only solution One-Pun could think of!
Clang!
The swift and fierce Purple Moon Sword Qi struck the bark of the giant tree, producing a dull clanging sound as if it had struck copper and iron. Upon closer inspection, the smooth light brown bark did not even have a scratch on it!
This strike was a sword technique that a world-class Sword Master had used the power of his Sword Truth. Yet, it could not even penetrate the tree's bark. The tree's toughness was unimaginable.
"Indeed."
One-Pun sighed. Although his Sword Truth was' Guardian ', a Sword Truth that focused more on defense than destruction, it could not even penetrate the tree's bark.
However, it couldn't even cut through the tree's bark. The defense of this giant tree was completely beyond his expectations.
"Heh."
At that moment, a scoff was heard from behind him.
One-Pun turned his head and saw a green-skinned youth appear not far behind him at some point in time.
The youth mocked, "Foolish human. With that clumsy sword technique of yours, it's still ten thousand years too early for you to cleave the holy tree."
One-Pun's pupils constricted slightly. His keen sense of danger made his hair stand on end the instant he saw the youth. His body tensed up warily.
Apart from his green skin, the youth looked no different from an ordinary youth. However, One-Pun felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
This youth was very strong! No, he was extremely powerful!
How many years had it been since he encountered a monster whose aura alone left him feeling repressed?
One-Pun clenched the Moon Reflection Blade tightly and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The youth did not seem to mind introducing himself as he said, "This King's name is Tianjie. I'm the King of the Transcendents, and also the ruler who will soon conquer this world."
One-Pun frowned. "Conquer the world?"
Tianjie raised his finger to the sky and said, "This King's people are in the world above the holy tree. It's a barren land. The Transcendents have lived there for more than ten thousand years. Now, it's time for you humans to 'enjoy' that hell.
"This King's army has already been assembled. Once This King kills all the human experts, this massacre known as war will begin!"
When Tianjie said that, his eyes turned cold. He looked at One-Pun and said with a sneer, "You are the first human This King has seen. I wonder if you are considered an expert among humans?"
