227: Chapter 227 The 100,000-foot-tall Dao Tree displayed its power; it was all a scheme?!

On the other side.

After Chi Chen Ape arrived at the Third Heaven Layer of the Heavenly Sword Domain with Xuan Zhixue, Li Huayin, and Su Yuling, his pace gradually slowed down in the face of the increasingly heavy pressure.

"Mistresses, please forgive my incompetence. I can only carry you this far."

Chi Chen Ape finally stopped, panting heavily as he spoke helplessly.

He had only cultivated a 60,000-zhang dao tree; reaching this point was already his limit.

One must know that in this Heavenly Sword Domain, it does not look at cultivation or the Physical Body, but only at the Great Dao.

His Dao could only support him up to this point; any further, and he was powerless.

"No matter. Chi Chen, you can just focus on meditating and comprehending here. As for the road ahead, we can walk it ourselves."

Li Huayin comforted him softly before leading Xuan Zhixue and Su Yuling further into the depths of the Heavenly Sword Domain.

"Mistresses, be careful in everything!"

Chi Chen Ape shouted a reminder.

If anything happened to Li Huayin and the others, he would likely be held responsible.

At the same time, Li Junze and Yue Yao were also rushing toward the deepest part of the Heavenly Sword Domain.

For young Prodigies like them, whose dao trees were all above 80,000 or 90,000 zhang and had the chance to reach the Fifth Heaven Layer of the Heavenly Sword Domain, whoever could reach the source heaven dao sword first would have a greater probability of taking control of it!

On the other side, Dugu Yin from Heavenly God Mountain was also rushing toward the location of the source heaven dao sword with a long sword on his back.

They had all cultivated dao trees of over 80,000 or 90,000 zhang and were the most powerful competitors for the source heaven dao sword!

Of course, among the other young Prodigies of the Yao Race and the Imperial Province, there were also brilliant individuals. Although there weren't many who had cultivated 80,000 or 90,000-zhang dao trees, they did exist.

One could only say that the competition for the source heaven dao sword this time was extremely intense!

...

Inside the Second Heaven Layer of the Heavenly Sword Domain.

As soon as Lin Ran stepped into this place, he stopped and turned to face the five overlord forces.

"What? Knowing you can't escape, do you plan to stop and wait for death?"

"Heh, the Second Heaven Layer of the Heavenly Sword Domain is your limit? It seems your Dao isn't much after all!"

"Your ability to bluster earlier was top-notch. I thought you had some great skill, but it turns out to be just this?"

"Today, your Dao ends here!"

The Five Great Clan Leaders spoke one after another, as if they had already sentenced Lin Ran to death.

The rest of the People of the Five Great Demon Clans burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Lin Ran only shook his head slightly, a look of pity appearing on his face.

That pity was as if he were looking at a frog in a well or a summer insect.

"A frog in a well cannot speak of the sea; a summer insect cannot speak of ice."

"Today, I shall let you see what the Great Dao truly is!"

Lin Ran took a step forward and summoned his dao tree.

Suddenly!

Behind him, that 100,000-zhang-tall destiny dao tree, which broke the rules of heaven and earth, abruptly manifested!

This dao tree, with the Great Dao of Destiny as its primary Dao and Yin and Yang, Life and Death, the Five Elements, Darkness, Light, Space, Karma, Time, and the Sword Dao as auxiliary Daos, could be called the strongest dao tree in the world, without exception!

The radiance of the Dao it emitted was even more dazzling than the blazing sun.

The aura of immortality it released was even more eternal than the Great Dao itself!

It stood between heaven and earth like a Dominator of the Great Dao, governing the rise and fall of ten thousand generations!

Dazed, entranced, and stupefied!

The People of the Five Great Demon Clans and the Five Great Clan Leaders were all dumbstruck, their mouths hanging open like statues, looking at everything before them in disbelief.

A 100,000-zhang dao tree was unheard of throughout history; it had never existed.

Yet, today, Lin Ran had allowed them to witness such a miracle!!

"With my Dao, I shall suppress all the Daos in the world!"

Lin Ran let out a low growl, and the destiny dao tree erupted with a brilliant light that actually outshone the sun in the sky, bursting forth with unmistakable killing intent!

"Damn it! This kid actually cultivated a 100,000-zhang dao tree?!"

"Bastard! That jerk Li Junze must have known this kid cultivated a 100,000-zhang dao tree, but he didn't tell us. He wanted us to stall this kid so he could go and snatch the source heaven dao sword for himself!"

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"

The Five Great Clan Leaders finally realized that they had been completely schemed against by Li Junze.

Li Junze certainly knew that Lin Ran would come here to fight for the source heaven dao sword.

He also knew that he himself would be no match for Lin Ran.

So he set his sights on their five overlord forces, wanting them to stall Lin Ran's progress just to help him obtain the source heaven dao sword!

What a brilliant scheme!!!

"At this point, saying more is useless. Let's all attack together and kill this kid first!"

"This Emperor doesn't believe that a 100,000-zhang dao tree is invincible!"

The Clan Chief of the Cold Moon Yao Clan said coldly.

If anyone should feel heartache, he was the one who should feel it the most.

It was one thing for Li Junze not to tell him that Lin Ran had cultivated a 100,000-zhang dao tree—after all, Li Junze was using them from the start, so why would he inform them about Lin Ran?

But he hadn't expected that Yue Yao wouldn't tell him either!

One must know that Yue Yao was his most beloved daughter!

Had he known he had raised such an ungrateful daughter, no matter what Yue Yao said at the time, he definitely wouldn't have come here to besiege Lin Ran even if it killed him!

Of course, what he didn't know was that Yue Yao also didn't know about Lin Ran's 100,000-zhang dao tree.

It could be said that Yue Yao was also part of Li Junze's scheme.

For the sake of the source heaven dao sword, Li Junze could heartlessly scheme even against a woman he spent day and night with and for whom he had already developed feelings!

The Five Great Clan Leaders and the People of the Five Great Demon Clans all summoned their dao trees.

Among them were 40,000-zhang dao trees, 50,000-zhang dao trees, 60,000-zhang dao trees, and even 70,000-zhang dao trees.

However, there wasn't a single 80,000 or 90,000-zhang dao tree.

Even the Five Great Clan Leaders had not cultivated 80,000 or 90,000-zhang dao trees.

Those who had cultivated 80,000 or 90,000-zhang dao trees were the peerless Prodigies of their respective races. At this moment, they were all off competing for the source heaven dao sword; why would they waste time here besieging Lin Ran?

"How insignificant. Your dao trees are truly pitifully small."

"True enough, how can a grain of rice dare to compete for brilliance with the immortal sun and moon?"

Lin Ran shook his head with pity and waved his hand. The destiny dao tree behind him shot out an immeasurable light of the Dao, attacking the Five Great Clan Leaders and the People of the Five Great Demon Clans.

Hearing Lin Ran belittle their Dao like this, the faces of the Five Great Clan Leaders flushed red, yet they couldn't think of a single word to refute him.

Lin Ran was right. In front of a 100,000-zhang dao tree, their dao trees were indeed too small, as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

To call them grains of rice was indeed not an exaggeration.

Moreover, now was not the time for them to argue about these things.

Lin Ran's lethal move had arrived. For now, they had to think about how to withstand the killing power from a 100,000-zhang dao tree!
