182: Tree God

"Submit! Or… die!" Xiao Zhuo stood proudly in the Void Realm like a god. His voice was indifferent, yet it ignited boundless ferocity in the White Dragon Python's ears.

He, the White Dragon Python, had undergone Tribulation and roamed the Boundless Green Sea for nearly ten thousand years. How could he tolerate such humiliation?

Yet, his Divine Soul was suppressed, unable to break free in the slightest!

Rage surged in his crimson snake pupils.

Yuan Tian's massive body landed with a thud, looking at Xiao Zhuo: "Master! This old snake is also guarding a ten-thousand-year Spiritual Root, the Vermillion Fruit Vine. I will retrieve it for you!"

Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly.

This scene made the White Dragon Python so furious, his lungs felt like they would explode: "You stinky monkey, you actually colluded with an outsider to bully me like this!"

A hint of determination flashed in his giant eyes, and his body began to struggle frantically. The Divine Soul in his Sea of Consciousness also began to burn.

Xiao Zhuo naturally noticed the anomaly, and the Spirit Suppressing Seal pressing on the snake's body intensified.

However, the White Dragon Python was originally at the Middle Tribulation Crossing Stage. After burning his Divine Soul, he had already broken free from the Divine Soul restraint of the Spirit Suppressing Seal, and his Yao power surged, reaching the Peak Tribulation Stage.

Xiao Zhuo frowned slightly. It seemed this old snake was much more arrogant than Yuan Tian, actually choosing to perish together.

Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Thinking this, before the White Dragon Python could fully break free, Xiao Zhuo pointed a finger from a distance. A hundred-zhang Soul Slaying Blade materialized out of thin air, splitting the Void Realm as it descended.

In the blink of an eye, it severed the head of the White Dragon Python, who was on the verge of complete escape.

"How is this possible?" His head hit the ground, but the White Dragon Python was not yet dead. However, his Divine Soul had been affected by the Soul Slaying Divine Weapon and began to show cracks.

Even in death, he couldn't believe that this Human Race, who seemed to have an unremarkable aura, was so powerful.

But he was also unlucky. If he had erupted from the start, even with Xiao Zhuo's strength, it would not have been easy to instantly kill a Peak Tribulation Stage cultivator in his normal state.

However, he first engaged in a fierce battle with Yuan Tian, then was suddenly suppressed by Xiao Zhuo. Although he burned his Divine Soul to break free from control, he failed to evade the subsequent Soul Slaying Divine Weapon.

This led to his instant death by a single strike.

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said nothing more. His purpose in sweeping the Green Sea was to accumulate Attribute Points. It was naturally best if he could subdue them; no one would complain about having too many Tribulation Crossing Realm enforcers. But if they refused to submit, killing them would not be a waste either.

However, since he had already killed, there was no reason to spare the remaining snake offspring.

These were all Attribute Points!

With a wave of Xiao Zhuo's hand, a river of blood emerged from nothingness. The moment it swept over the White Dragon Python's corpse, the massive snake body immediately began to shrivel, and a large amount of vital blood essence was drained, causing the blood river to grow in size once more.

It surged towards White Snake Mountain.

Countless snake offspring, unable to escape, were swept into the river of blood. Even some with higher cultivation, who had flown out a hundred miles, could not escape Xiao Zhuo's Thorn of Nothingness.

They fell from the sky one after another.

For a time, the panel notifications scrolled frantically.

His Attribute Points continuously soared. After killing Profound Bone and the other two, Xiao Zhuo's Attribute Points had already reached 310,000. Now, with the slaying of another Tribulation Crossing Realm great Yao, he gained another 70,000, plus the countless giant snakes all over the mountain.

By the time all the slaughter ceased, a full 690,000 Attribute Points lay on the panel.

Even at his current Realm, Cultivating often took thousands of years for a minor Realm. But so many Attribute Points were enough for Xiao Zhuo to Cultivate both his magic power and Physical Body to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

However, this was not yet the end.

"Master, the Spiritual Root is here!" Yuan Tian's massive body emerged from the depths of White Snake Mountain, carefully holding a vine shimmering with spiritual light. Dozens of lychee-sized, crimson, dripping fruits hung from the vine, emitting an exotic fragrance. It was indeed the ten-thousand-year Vermillion Fruit.

Xiao Zhuo waved his hand, sending three Vermillion Fruits from it to Yuan Tian, then put away the ten-thousand-year Spiritual Root, his gaze turning to the deeper parts of the Green Sea: "Next stop."

"Yes!" Yuan Tian directly threw the Vermillion Fruits into his gaping maw, his eyes gleaming with excitement and awe. He pointed southeast, "Master, about three thousand miles southeast, there is a 'Withered Bone Forest' shrouded in Devilish Qi, where a group of extremely ferocious 'Iron-Winged Demonic Vultures' reside. The leading Vulture King is said to be at the Late Tribulation Crossing Stage, with feathers as hard as refined gold, talons that can split mountains, and astonishing speed! It's just unknown if it possesses any Heaven and Earth treasures."

"Oh? Demonic Vultures? How interesting." Xiao Zhuo's mouth curved slightly, "Lead the way."

Yuan Tian did not hesitate, transforming into a gray-brown streak of light and shooting out. Xiao Zhuo still walked on the Void Realm, his figure like a ghost, following closely behind. He appeared to be strolling leisurely, yet his speed was by no means slow.

The Boundless Green Sea was vast, with countless Yao Beasts and Demonic Beasts.

Yao Beasts absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to Cultivate Yao power, while Demonic Beasts were mutated Yao Beasts affected by changes in Heaven and Earth. They absorbed Devilish Qi to Cultivate, and the power within them was also demonic power.

The Blood Demon Realm had long been controlled by Xue Tian, who had mastered its Origin. Even the Heavenly Dao was extremely wary of Xue Tian.

After controlling the Origin, many Spiritual Veins in this world were reversed in nature by Xue Tian with great magic power, transforming into Demonic Veins.

What they produced were Demonic Stones and Devilish Qi.

Therefore, the entire Blood Demon Realm not only had Spiritual Qi but also Devilish Qi.

Hence, there were also many mutated Yao Beasts and Demonic Beasts.

However, the Blood Palace was still continuously transforming the Blood Demon Realm and controlled the mining of Demonic Veins, which meant that although Spirit Stones were still the mainstream currency, Demonic Stones were more popular among Demonic Cultivators.

After all, although Demonic Cultivators could also use Spirit Stones, they still needed to convert them, which not only consumed Spiritual Qi but also wasted time.

In the subsequent sweep, Xiao Zhuo also found many Demonic Beasts. Compared to Yao Beasts, these Demonic Beasts were more ferocious and would never submit, fighting to the death.

Within a day, Xiao Zhuo destroyed seven Yao Beast gathering places led by Tribulation Crossing Realm beasts.

His Attribute Points soared to two million. In between, he also subdued a White Phoenix Yao Beast with Phoenix Bloodline, also at the Middle Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation.

Almost simultaneously, many escaped creatures fled deeper into the Boundless Green Sea. In the center of the Green Sea stood a magnificent ancient tree, tens of thousands of feet tall.

Its branches and leaves were lush, and countless Yao Beasts bred and lived within it.

At this moment, a huge azure bird with a wingspan of several hundred feet was approaching the ancient tree at a terrifying speed.

"Tree God! A Human Race is wantonly slaughtering in the Green Sea! My offspring have been largely massacred. I implore the Tree God to uphold justice for me!" The azure bird cried out loudly, startling countless creatures on the ancient tree who turned their heads.

A pair of eyes slowly opened on the ancient tree's massive trunk, revealing a pair of pitch-black pupils.

On the other side, Xiao Zhuo's slaughter continued. Just now, he had destroyed an azure bird's nest. Unfortunately, the Peak Tribulation Stage azure bird possessed an extremely peculiar innate Divine Ability, breaking his spatial blockade and escaping directly in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to continue his sweep, an old voice echoed in his mind: "Little friend! Please do not continue the slaughter. My Boundless Green Sea is peace-loving and avoids conflict, but it is not a place to be bullied at will. I hope you will show some respect."

This voice exuded endless vicissitudes of life (vicissitudes), deep and low, full of ancient meaning.

Xiao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. His Divine Sense expanded with all its might, covering a radius of a thousand miles, yet he detected nothing.

Clearly, the owner of this voice was not within the range of his Divine Sense.

If this were true, the owner of this voice was likely extremely powerful.

Fortunately, the other party seemed unwilling to fall out with him.

"This one is Xue Hai (Blood Heaven), the Third Holy Son of the Blood Palace! May I ask who Senior is!" Xiao Zhuo stopped in the Void Realm and spoke indifferently.

White Phoenix and Yuan Tian were also stunned when their Master suddenly spoke. They exchanged glances, then suddenly thought of something, and their pupils constricted.

"This old man's name has long been forgotten, but the creatures here all call this old man the Tree God!" The voice echoed in his mind again.

At the same time, a grand aura suddenly descended, and a towering ancient tree phantom, blotting out the sky, had already appeared on the horizon.

Xiao Zhuo's pupils constricted violently, and his heart pounded like a war drum: "Mahayana Stage, and at least Mahayana Peak, or even a half-step True Immortal existence!"

The mere pressure from the phantom already made his heart heavy, as if carrying a giant mountain, and this was even when the other party was not targeting him.

How could such a terrifying existence be in this Boundless Green Sea?

And when White Phoenix and Yuan Tian saw the phantom, their massive bodies immediately landed on the ground and prostrated: "Greetings, Lord Tree God!"
