44: Chapter 44 A Bizarre Balance!

Meanwhile, inside Lin Yunfei's Divine Kingdom.

Looking out, the pitch-black xuanming heavy water was still flowing slowly across the land of the Divine Kingdom.

The human tribe had long since migrated to a high plateau in the center of the Divine Kingdom where the terrain was the highest.

Leader Yan Er was stripped to the waist, his muscles bulging like granite all over his body.

He was leading thousands of human warriors, tirelessly carrying huge boulders to build thick breakwaters on the periphery of the tribe.

"Everyone put in more effort! Plug the gap over there!" Leader Yan Er's rough voice echoed through the camp.

Although the erosion rate of the xuanming heavy water was not fast, it was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head.

If it was not controlled, the Divine Kingdom would sooner or later be completely swallowed by this black ocean.

Just as everyone was silently fighting for survival, a sudden change occurred above the firmament!

"Rumble!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening and violent roar, the space above the Divine Kingdom violently tore open!

A colossal giant tree that blotted out the sky, carrying a sickening and strong bloody smell, fell from the sky like a meteorite!

"Bang!"

The massive trunk of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree crashed right into the exact center of the black lake at the edge of the Divine Kingdom where the xuanming heavy water gathered most deeply, without any deviation.

The violent air wave whipped up black splashes dozens of feet high, and the entire land of the Divine Kingdom trembled violently because of it.

"What kind of monster is that?!"

In front of the breakwater on the high plateau, Leader Yan Er suddenly raised his head, his tiger-like eyes filled with shock and vigilance.

He could clearly feel that the evil aura emanating from the giant tree was even more horrifying than the xuanming heavy water below.

Those thick black tentacles seemed ready to devour people at any time!

As soon as the Starry Sky Ancient Tree smashed into the heavy water lake, the Blood Fiend energy entrenched in its core completely fell into madness!

It was already in a manic state of craving energy, and now falling into a brand-new Divine Kingdom was like a fierce beast that had been starving for ten days and ten nights, suddenly smelling the extremely delicious aura of flesh and blood.

"Roar——!!!"

On the dark red trunk of the ancient tree, countless distorted phantom images loomed, making piercing screeches.

Hundreds and thousands of thick pitch-black roots, like countless greedy giant pythons, crazily pierced into the depths of the Divine Kingdom. They opened their big mouths, trying to suck dry the origin of this Divine Kingdom in one breath!

However, no matter how much the Blood Fiend calculated, it miscalculated the most fatal thing.

The place where it took root was precisely the most terrifying forbidden zone in this Divine Kingdom at present—the gathering place of the xuanming heavy water!

When those dark-red roots greedily sucked in large gulps, what violently poured back into their bodies was not the sweet and mild origin of the Divine Kingdom, but the black water of disaster that brought destruction!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!"

A scalp-tingling and intense corrosive sound suddenly sounded across the empty land of the Divine Kingdom.

Accompanied by billows of pale white water vapor rising, the Blood Fiend's violently matchless polluting energy, the moment it contacted the xuanming heavy water, was like boiling oil directly crashing into ten-thousand-year-old ice, erupting into an unimaginably fierce conflict!

Pain! Too painful!!!

The energy will of the Blood Fiend let out a desperate scream, instinctively wanting to expel the fatal heavy water inhaled into its body.

However, the peerless and terrifying weight of the xuanming heavy water directly oppressed into every inch of the ancient tree's meridians along the roots, as if tens of millions of massive mountains were suppressing it simultaneously, allowing not the slightest bit of resistance.

Moreover, the pure power of destruction within the heavy water dealt a heavy blow to the Blood Fiend's flesh and blood pollution!

But at the same time, a particularly wonderful change also arose.

The main body of the Starry Sky Ancient Tree, as a high-tier wood-attribute divine object, had long since developed a nearly greedy desire for energy over the long years.

Even though the energy pouring into its body carried deadly poison and destruction, the ancient tree's plant instinct, hidden deep beneath the Blood Fiend's pollution, was still operating frantically.

This formed a tripartite cycle that was bizarre to the extreme.

For survival, the ancient tree instinctively absorbed the xuanming heavy water crazily; after the heavy water poured in, it began to run amok and scour inside the ancient tree, mercilessly crushing the Blood Fiend's polluting energy; and without the interference of the Blood Fiend's violent will, the ancient tree's massive wood-attribute origin actually began to slowly digest these heavy water-attribute laws!

Water generates wood!

The xuanming heavy water was a catastrophic disaster for ordinary living beings, but for a Tier 2 Starry Sky Ancient Tree, once its violent and destructive attributes were removed, what remained was the purest and top-tier nourishment!

Under the watch of the Creator's supreme perspective, Lin Yunfei saw an ecological evolution that could be called a miracle of creation.

That ancient magic tree, which was originally dark red all over and exuded an endless evil aura, under the continuous scouring and baptism of the xuanming heavy water, unexpectedly began to peel off inch by inch of the dazzling blood color on the surface of its trunk.

The ancient tree itself was like a super sponge whose size was unimaginably huge.

Its countless roots crisscrossed underground in the Divine Kingdom, forming a massive filter net that greedily devoured the overflowing xuanming heavy water on the earth.

Fighting poison with poison, bizarre symbiosis!

Gradually, the ancient tree shed that disgusting and twisted coat.

Replacing it was a deep, tranquil, and powerful dark blue.

Among the branches and leaves, even tiny dots of pure starlight began to faintly flicker!

"Look quickly! The water level is no longer rising!"

On the high plateau, a human warrior pointed at the black lake in the distance, letting out a distorted, trembling exclamation.

Leader Yan Er suddenly turned his head and looked over with wide-open tiger-like eyes.

I saw that the black frenzy that was originally slowly eroding the land of the Divine Kingdom had completely stagnated at this moment!

The massive Starry Sky Ancient Tree was like a calming sea needle descending from the sky, firmly suppressing the water eye.

It continuously sucked those violent heavy waters into the trunk, transforming them into pure nourishment for its own growth, while firmly suppressing the residual Blood Fiend will within its body.

Not only that, as the ancient tree gradually recovered, a soft and sacred starlight power began to spread in all directions along its branches and leaves.

The black frozen soil that had been scoured hard as iron by the heavy water unexpectedly radiated unprecedented vitality after absorbing the starlight power emitted by the Starry Sky Ancient Tree.

The soil became thicker and more fertile, and wisps of green began to stubbornly poke their heads out at the edge of the black marsh.

"This is a miracle!"

"It is the great Creator! The Lord sent down the divine tree to stabilize the disaster!"

Leader Yan Er trembled all over with excitement, tears streaming down his face.

He threw away the thousand-jin giant boulder in his hand, his knees softened, and he fell heavily to the ground, opening his arms toward the firmament and roaring wildly.

All the tribe's citizens wept with joy at this moment, putting down their work one after another and kneeling piously on the ground.

The prayers of tens of thousands of people converged into a mighty torrent of faith, shooting straight into the clouds.

In this protracted battle against the disaster, the human race not only welcomed a precious breathing space.

More importantly, specks of faint starlight sprinkled on the scarred bodies of the human warriors.

Under the nourishment of the starlight power, their physical bodies, which were already tempered to be extremely tough by the xuanming heavy water, began to undergo a certain bizarre transformation.

Their muscles became more gnarled, their bones emitted a faint silver glow, and an even more formidable vitality burst out roar-like across the entire tribe!

Outside, in the wasteland of the degraded Divine Kingdom.

Lin Yunfei stood quietly in place, slowly closing his eyes.

At this moment, he could feel extremely clearly that an unprecedented surging power was madly pouring back into his limbs and bones along the crystal wall system of the Divine Kingdom!

The bizarre symbiosis between the Starry Sky Ancient Tree and the xuanming heavy water not only completely stabilized the situation where the Divine Kingdom was eroded by floods, but also made his Divine Kingdom's foundation even stronger!

The laws of the Divine Kingdom, which were slightly singular due to the flood, had now become harmonious and profound under the strong feedback of this starlight origin.

"What an overbearing power feedback..."

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath, feeling the endless surging torrent of vital blood within his body.

The bones throughout his body issued a series of crisp thunderclaps like popping beans, and the density and fiber toughness of his muscles reached a non-human, terrifying realm under the interweaving of the starlight and heavy water dual laws.

He did not even need to use the power of any dependents; just casually clenching a fist caused the air in his palm to suddenly produce a piercing sonic boom, and a naked-eye-visible white airflow instantly exploded.

Solely with this physical body tempered and fed back by the Divine Kingdom right now, he had absolute confidence to pin that group of arrogant aristocratic prodigies from the outside to the ground and frantically rub them.

"This is just the beginning. When the ancient tree completely refines the Blood Fiend, that will truly be a massive harvest."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yunfei was harvesting happily, while the other prodigies had it miserable...
