The Emperor Skysplitter Blade spun like a wheel of light in the hands of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, shooting out countless dark blue high-density psionic energy light blades, shattering all the starships and mechanical suits along the way. A blank area was drawn out in the dense defensive formation, leaving behind light traces.
The light blades slashed on the Tree God's body one after another, and the knotted tree roots were cut in half cleanly. However, buds quickly grew out from the broken parts and repaired the wounds.
Mechanical Force surged, buffing the black Mech Legion. It was like a black and gold thundercloud, entangling with the green energy tsunami created by the Tree God, causing explosions to occur around the two giants.
Buzz!
The two of them released their inner spaces at the same time. The lightning-filled grayish-blue void domain collided with the green Tree God domain and squeezed toward each other. They rubbed back and forth like tofu, triggering dazzling electric arcs.
During this process, the bodies of Han Xiao and the Tree God expanded endlessly. They rolled and tangled together, colliding more than a thousand times in an instant. The shockwaves sent all the spaceships flying.
This was not the first time the two of them had fought. The Tree God was still in an irrational and incomplete state, but Han Xiao could clearly feel that the Tree God's strength had increased by a lot. It was not as easy to deal with as last time, especially when the strength of the Tree God Domain had increased greatly, making him feel a little pressured.
The closer he was to the mother tree's main body, the stronger the Tree God's strength became. Especially when he was in the World Tree's main body dimension, the Tree God's ability was enhanced, and it also had the ability to teleport without a cooldown. It was extremely agile, and the most disgusting thing was that its tankiness was also astonishing. Even Han Xiao found it troublesome.
Under the strengthening of various factors, the Tree God actually managed to stop Han Xiao's advance for a while. It even forced Han Xiao to retreat and stay away from the mother tree's main body.
"Looks like it won't be so easy to deal with this guy …"
Han Xiao thought to himself. As expected, he had long expected the Tree God to be strengthened in the main body dimension, so he was not surprised.
His advance was blocked, but he was not in a hurry at all. He calmed down and fought the Tree God, waiting for his various talents to take effect and continue to increase his combat strength.
The last time he extracted the power of the Tree God, he had obtained some obscure information. He guessed that the enemy had to pay a huge price to summon the Tree God, and it was not a long-term method.
Therefore, Han Xiao was not in a hurry to succeed. In his opinion, as long as he dragged it into a protracted battle, the Tree God would weaken sooner or later.
If not for the fact that they had reached the World Tree's hometown, he reckoned that the Ancestral Tree King would not have been willing to use this move to stop him.
While the two Transcendent Grade Supers were fighting, the Beyond Grade As on both sides also met on a narrow path. The new and old grudges were extremely red, and the battle was out of control!
All the Beyond Grade A Mechanics temporarily put aside their personal grudges, and the Mech Legion formed a formation, pouring down ferocious firepower. The Magicians summoned their respective Magician Towers and connected them to each other, establishing large-scale magic circuits. Like a mobile base, they continuously released all kinds of large-scale offensive forbidden spells in all directions.
The Mechanical Gods wreaked havoc on the battlefield one after another. Manison's silver-white mechanical body waved its trident and swept through a large area. The Indestructible Mechanical Soldiers stood guard beside it, looking majestic. Herberlon finally had a chance to take revenge. He went on a killing spree, tearing apart the World Tree Roots that were dancing chaotically, letting out a silent roar.
On the other side, EsGod and his dozens of doppelgangers moved through the battlefield, toying with many World Tree experts with their various Esper Abilities. Not far away, Evans activated his [Energy Control] Esper Ability with all his might, gathering all kinds of energy accumulated on the battlefield and smashing it at the World Tree fleet. The destructive power was quite impressive.
Hella's expression was stern as she controlled the red tide of death, raising waves after waves that devoured the enemy ships. Aurora had a solemn expression on her face as she emitted a vigorous vitality. She kept treating her injured teammates and summoning a large number of Hero Spirits to join the battlefield from time to time.
Kasuyi burned an infinite amount of mana, and his psychic energy surged endlessly, shattering the thoughts of countless World Tree Blessed Race members. In another area, Fu Ding held the Soul Swapper in his hand and strolled around the battlefield. The surrounding battlefield became a forbidden zone for life, and the souls of all the enemies were crushed into pieces.
The Pugilists no longer fought alone but formed a formation. Sierron, Mercer, Heber, Viru, Jotina, Kohler, and the others launched a collective charge, turning the defense circle of the World Tree fleet upside down. Their punches were continuous, and Euler's voice resounded throughout the dimension.
Carrott was also among them. He drove Yin Ying and sped through the rain of light, smashing enemy ships one after another.
'Quantum Demon Spirit' Judith, 'Guardian' Romo, 'Mechanical Queen' Mornisa, and the others launched waves of data attacks in the virtual network. 'Military Flag' Enid activated her ability, and an encouraging halo enveloped her entire team. Together with Aurora, she strengthened the overall strength of the Beyond Grade As.
Due to the invasion of the galactic society some time ago, many of the high-level combatants of the World Tree Civilization had died and had yet to revive. At that time, they did not expect to be counterattacked by the three Universal Civilizations so quickly. Now, this weakness had become a pit, causing the scale of their high-level combatants to be far inferior to the three Universal Civilizations.
Therefore, not long after the battle began, the Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations displayed their abilities and beat the World Tree experts until they bled.
One after another, the Holy Tree Emissaries and Ancestral Spirits died in battle with bloodshot eyes with intense unwillingness.
The high-level combatants were the sharp blades, and they advanced the deepest. In other directions, the armies of the three Universal Civilizations were also attacking the World Tree's defense circle. The battlefronts were in a stalemate, moving back and forth.
…
"The situation is in our favor now. The longer the battle lasts, the more troops we will send in. The pressure on the World Tree will continue to increase. They won't be able to defend the battlefront forever!"
In the strategic command center, all the upper echelons were gathered together, looking at the real-time battle situation on the virtual strategic sandbox. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.
Simon placed his hands on the table, his eyes as sharp as a falcon's as he said with a deep voice, "I have roughly divided the World Tree's defense circle into five layers. Our main force is fighting at the outermost layer, and the Beyond Grade As have entered the second layer. Black Star was about to enter the third layer, but he was entangled by the other party's Transcendent Grade and was forced back to the second layer."
"The World Tree Civilization is also going all out. It seems like it will be difficult for us to penetrate the enemy's defense circle in a short period of time," an officer said.
Simon nodded in agreement. His tone was solemn.
"If we exhaust the World Tree's forces at the outermost layer, the troops inside will come out to reinforce the defense. Furthermore, because the World Tree fleet can teleport without restrictions in this space, we won't be able to break out of the encirclement in the normal sense. We will either have to force the enemy into the hinterland or defeat the enemy's army … Therefore, before both sides are exhausted to a certain extent, it is basically impossible for our main force to open the situation."
Everyone's expressions were solemn. They all understood what he meant.
This was a bloody and protracted battle, and the casualties would be astronomical.
"As the attacker, we have the initiative. We have the advantage in the short term, but in the long term, our prospects in a protracted battle are actually not good."
Simon paused for a moment and pondered.
"The speed at which our troops are replenished is far inferior to the World Tree. The World Tree is producing troops every minute and every second. They will be transformed from the roots and can immediately return to the battlefield … Although we can use the weight-increasing tactic to continuously increase the pressure on the World Tree, if the stalemate continues for a long time, the situation will probably turn around when all our troops are deployed."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. This situation was not impossible. If the World Tree Civilization really erupted with astonishing tenacity and withstood their continuously increasing attacks, then at a certain point in time, their attacks would weaken. No matter how much advantage they had accumulated previously, it would all be taken back.
At this moment, Simon changed the topic and pointed at Black Star in the strategic sandbox. "We can't count on the victory of the main force for the time being. The ones most likely to break the stalemate are the Beyond Grade As. With Black Star leading the way, as long as they can get rid of the obstruction of the enemy's high-level combatants, they will be able to advance quickly. They are the breakthrough of this battle, and they might be able to affect the outcome of this war."
All the officers present and the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations nodded.
Although Black Star did not seem like he would be able to get rid of the Tree God anytime soon, after experiencing so many things, everyone had strong confidence in him and had high hopes for him.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two Transcendent Grade Supers, one black and one green, clashed countless times. As various talents were activated, Han Xiao's attributes increased bit by bit, and he gradually suppressed the Tree God.
Because the Tree God had an extremely high absorption rate against energy attacks, Han Xiao basically used physical attacks to deal with him. The black torrent formed by mechanical particles took on all kinds of forms, leaving wounds on the Tree God's body.
Very soon, Han Xiao began to push forward again with an unstoppable momentum. The Tree God hurriedly released World Tree Roots to wrap around him, trying to stall the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. However, these roots were all torn apart by Han Xiao and crushed into powder.
"In an incomplete state without rationality, you can only rely on your instincts to fight. You can't fully unleash your strength. What a pity."
Han Xiao's blade spun and cut off the Tree God's head. Seeing the Tree God's head quickly regenerate, he shook his head.
However, at this moment, the Tree God suddenly trembled, and his beast-like chaotic emotions disappeared. For the first time, a clear mental thought was sent over. It was the consciousness of the Ancestral Tree King.
"Black Star! Don't even think about getting past me! "
"Eh, you've regained consciousness?"
Han Xiao raised his brows. He was curious about what method the Ancestral Tree King had used to regain his rationality and take over the control of the Tree God.
Just as the Ancestral Tree King took over the Tree God's body, the Tree God's combat style immediately changed. Its fighting style was no longer as rough as before, and there were a lot of details.
Although its strength did not increase, the actual combat strength displayed by the Tree God had increased significantly. It was almost like a different person.
At this moment, in the inner space of the Tree God, the illusory figure of the Ancestral Tree King floated there. His senses were connected to the vision of the Tree God, and he stared at Han Xiao with a determined expression.
Until just now, the Ancestral Tree King was still trapped in the consciousness of the Tree God. However, the World Tree finally realized that a calamity was about to befall it. The will of the mother tree descended and woke the Ancestral Tree King up alone. It also took back the Tree King Crowns of the Fortitude Tree King and the Subduing Tree King and handed them all to the Ancestral Tree King. The meaning was clear — the Ancestral Tree King was going to fight alone.
This was something the World Tree had learned from the process of the Tree Kings breaking through to the Transcendent Grade. Burning the foundation of the Ancestral Tree King's Information Form allowed him to enter a state similar to when he was advancing to the Transcendent Grade, but he was still under the control of the World Tree. This way, the consciousness of the Ancestral Tree King would be connected to the perception of the Tree God and be able to control the Tree God alone.
The price was to temporarily deprive the Ancestral Tree King of the chance to revive. If he could survive, he could still return to the embrace of the mother tree after leaving the Tree God state. However, if he died in this state, the Ancestral Tree King would be like those Tree Kings who had failed to advance to the Transcendent Grade and would never be able to revive. This was the drawback.
However, this was the mission of the mother tree's will. The Ancestral Tree King did not have the right to choose.
Han Xiao's tone was calm. "With your control, the Tree God has indeed become much more powerful. However, if you think that this small change can stop me, you're thinking too much. Furthermore, how long can you last in this state?"
"Do you think you've won?!"
The Ancestral Tree King's expression turned cold. Without another word, he activated [Tree King Crown-Liberation].
In the void, the Tree King Crown that represented the Pugilist class shattered!
The experience and techniques accumulated by every generation of Martial Tree Kings were all integrated into the Tree God. At the same time, the source energy of the crown seemed to have become a catalyst, instantly increasing the combat strength of the Tree God!
It was as if endless power suddenly surged out from the depths of his body and spread throughout his body in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhh!"
The intense pain invaded the Ancestral Tree King's spiritual body, causing him to let out a low roar. However, his spiritual strength did not weaken. Instead, it was stimulated and quickly strengthened.
In the next moment, the Tree God's body suddenly bulged with green muscles. The originally dry tree body suddenly became tall and sturdy.
This feeling was as if the Tree God was originally just a skeleton, and only now did flesh and blood appear on the skeleton.
The Tree God Domain, which was originally at a disadvantage, instantly expanded and pushed Han Xiao's Void Domain away.
[Tree King Crown-Liberation] could strengthen the combat strength of the Tree God, but it required the sacrifice of the corresponding Tree King Crown. It would take thousands of years to recover from losing the qualifications of a Tree King for a long time. The price was not small!
In order to reduce the losses, the Ancestral Tree King sacrificed the Pugilist Crown without hesitation!
The Ancestral Tree King's emotions were affected. It was as if a pile of dry wood had been touched by a spark, and his fighting spirit rose.
"My strength is far from its limit! Black Star! Only when you die can we be at peace! "
