"You nearly killed This King!"
With a tinge of horror and lingering fear, Tianjie's voice suddenly sounded once again.
The green head slowly floated up and floated in midair. Suddenly, green, white, and red dots of light surged out of the air. The green dots of light gathered beneath the head, as though they were assembling fragments of a body. The white dots of light connected to form bones, forming a sturdy skeleton. The red dots of light condensed into blood vessels that flowed with Transcendence.
One-Pun wanted to stop it, but he lacked the strength to do so. He had used all his strength in that punch, so he needed a short period of recovery before he could move again. Even though One-Pun had used his last bit of strength to slash out, the half-baked sword beam was unable to injure the head, nor could it stop the Transcendent King's regeneration.
In moments, the body that had been pulverized was restored to its original state. Tianjie's regeneration speed was much faster than One-Pun's recovery speed.
"Monster."
One-Pun, who had always been labeled a monster, could not help but make such an evaluation of Tianjie.
Transcendent King Tianjie did indeed possess a monster's physique. His strength, speed, defense, toughness, and regenerative powers were all extraordinary. His regenerative powers were even more inconceivable. As long as his head remained intact, he could create a miracle of regrowing flesh and bones from the dead.
One-Pun was alarmed, but Tianjie was even more alarmed.
At the final juncture, Tianjie had no choice but to abandon his body and protect his head with all his might. Only then could he barely protect his head with the Transcendental Fifth Transformation. It was evident how powerful that punch was.
Past Transcendent Kings could only use the Transcendental Four Transformations. Few could use the Transcendental Five Transformations. Only a few were recorded in the annals of Transcendence. And yet, the Transcendental Five Transformations were so weak in front of the human's fist.
This meant that if the Transcendents had brought forward their plans to invade the human world before he was born, just this bald man alone would have caused the past Transcendent Kings to suffer an abject defeat, causing the Transcendents to crumble.
In the past, Tianjie often mocked the former Transcendent King for being overly cautious, mocking how the Transcendents were afraid to invade the human world. Now, he finally understood that humans were such powerful creatures. This was the first human he had encountered, but he nearly failed miserably. Thankfully, the Transcendents had endured until now, waiting for the birth of their greatest king.
Although Tianjie had nearly been killed, his confidence in conquering the human world had not changed. Although that punch had been able to destroy his Transcendental Five Transformations, it was hard to tell when he was facing a Transcendental Six Transformations that had increased his strength several times over. Furthermore, he had the Transcendental Seven Transformations that was half-step into the Celestial realm.
Once he used the Transcendent Seven Transformations, he would be invincible, and he could even fight against the fallen Ancient Gods.
If the heavens had not given birth to him, King Tianjie, he would have been as transcendent as a long night!
After this battle, Tianjie was even more certain of his mission. He was to lead the Transcendents out of the desolate hell and reclaim their former home from the hands of humans. This was something only he could do. If he failed, the Transcendents might not produce another true king of the Transcendental Seven Transformations for the next tens of thousands of years.
He could not fail!
"This King has to admit that you are an expert."
After his body was reconstructed, he quickly regained his mobility. Against One-Pun, who had nearly lost his ability to fight, Tianjie was clearly the victor of the battle. However, it was rare that he did not show the arrogance of a victor. He looked down on the weak and respected the strong. This was the usual style of a Transcendent King.
Tianjie said in a deep voice, "But this is the end. That punch from before drained all your strength. You no longer have the strength to continue fighting. Dying at This King's hands is the fate of the strong. This King will continue hunting human experts. You are the first prey worth remembering. This King will remember your punch. "
With that said, Tianjie slowly walked towards One-Pun as he clenched his fists. He was prepared to return the punch and end the battle.
One-Pun sighed inwardly. Faced with impending death, he was more worried than afraid. He had fully witnessed the strength of a Transcendent King. From his impression, there were few humans who could fight one. The completely enraged tyrant Groundless Cao was one of them. If Marshal Red Goatee, who had conquered the North and South, was thirty years younger, he might have been able to put up a desperate fight. The guardian gods of the other countries might not be defeated in a few moves … However, it was still too difficult to defeat this monster.
One-Pun knew very well that his punch had caught Tianjie off guard. Tianjie clearly hadn't used his full strength, but even so, the punch had failed to destroy Tianjie. That inconceivable regeneration meant that there was no chance of victory if he didn't directly vanquish him.
Among the human experts, who could do this?
The figure of the unfathomable purple-haired girl surfaced in One-Pun's mind. Could she do it?
Boom!
Tianjie's merciless punch suddenly blasted over without any mercy or pity. This punch was about to reduce One-Pun to smithereens, nipping the threat in the cradle.
Before his death, a thought suddenly flashed through One-Pun's mind. If he had not used God's Guardian to expend half his psionic power, would there have been a chance of victory if he had fought with a fist at full strength?
Peng!
The sound of bones shattering did not sound as expected. Instead, it was replaced by the sound of two hard objects colliding.
When Tianjie's fist struck, a thick tree root with a diameter of five meters suddenly uprooted from the ground. It stretched out horizontally and blocked in front of One-Pun, blocking the powerful punch.
The tree root squirmed and coiled into a ring. It was as though a shocking anaconda had coiled around One-Pun's body, but it also seemed to have built a ring-shaped wall that surrounded him.
"The gigantic tree's roots are protecting me?"
One-Pun was alarmed. He never expected that the mysterious tree would protect him at the final moment.
"How is this possible!?"
Tianjie was extremely alarmed. He knew that the gigantic tree was one of the three Holy Trees, the World Holy Tree. Just like the Transcendence Holy Tree in the barren lands, it was a supreme existence that transcended all life. How could such an existence take the initiative to protect a living being?
"Leave this place."
A girl's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, bringing with it an immense suppressive might.
Tianjie spat out a mouthful of black blood before withstanding the suppressive might.
"I see."
Tianjie looked at the top of the Holy Tree. The towering crown was emitting a blinding purple light. Tianjie seemed to figure something out as the corners of his mouth suffused a sneer. He said, "So the rumor of the destruction of the three Holy Trees ten thousand years ago is true. You are not the World Holy Tree. You are only the inheritor of its powers. In order to stop the Transcendence Holy Tree, you did not hesitate to use the powers of the 'world' to create a fake Holy Tree, allowing your soul to possess this gigantic tree. However, the fake is ultimately not the real. How long can you last with your strength? Soon, the Transcendence Holy Tree will devour you. The day you wither will be the day of humanity's destruction! "
The girl's voice did not sound again, but the immense suppressive might increased once again.
Tianjie glanced at One-Pun, who was protected by the tree roots, and took a deep breath before turning to leave.
To kill this human, he had to defeat the World Holy Tree's inheritor. Tianjie was confident that he would be invincible if he used the Transcendental Seven Transformations, but he would have to pay a terrible price to obtain victory.
His mission was to hunt human experts. The mission of destroying the World Holy Tree's inheritor was left to the Transcendence Holy Tree. Even the World Holy Tree was unable to defeat the Transcendence Holy Tree, much less a mere inheritor? The destruction of the inheritor was only a matter of time.
