307: Chapter 307 Devouring the Worm! The Darkest Hour for the Tree of Life!

Major Thousand Worlds, Life Star Domain.

There are no vast starry rivers of the Universe here, nor are there floating immortal islands or divine mountains.

The entire Life Star Domain is built upon a single Tree of Life!

Its emerald leaves are like vast continents blotting out the sky, and its thick branches are rivers flowing with the Origin of life.

However, this Star Domain, once hailed as the final pure land, is now shrouded in a layer of suffocating, dark red demonic mist.

At the core of the Tree of Life, within the Elven Sanctuary.

Empress Luyin sits gracefully on the vine throne, which represents the highest authority of the Life Star Domain.

She is still wearing that emerald immortal dress, her cascade of pale golden hair draped over her waist, and her pointed elven ears exude nobility.

Yet, her flawless, ethereal, and stunningly beautiful face is currently filled with deep exhaustion and worry.

Her eyes, originally as clear as emerald green, are also stained with an unshakable gloom.

Inside the hall, dozens of Great Emperors and Saints from the Life Star Domain and those who retreated from other fallen Star Domains have gathered, the atmosphere so oppressive that even breathing feels difficult.

"Everyone."

Empress Luyin parts her red lips slightly, her voice ethereal yet revealing an unconcealable weakness:

"In just one short year, hundreds of Star Domains in the Major Thousand Worlds have completely fallen."

"I originally thought that with the defensive barrier of the Tree of Life, we could at least serve as the final fortress. But I did not expect that the Realm Demons would concentrate half of their forces from the Realm Battlefield right here!"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the hall smiled bitterly.

Who could have imagined it?

At first, the Realm Demons only sent one Purple Demon Commander to attack the Life Star Domain.

Relying on the domineering regenerative power and barrier of the Tree of Life, it was firmly held outside the defensive line.

But the turning point happened nine months ago.

During a frenzied suicide charge, the demon army accidentally severed and snatched a small branch of the Tree of Life.

From that day on, the Realm Demons went completely mad, like sharks that had caught the scent of blood!

The Demon Mother Nest began producing troops frantically, not only mobilizing hundreds of millions of elite demons to the Life Star Domain but even dispatching two of the only three black Demon Commanders from the Realm Battlefield at once!

The purpose is obvious!

The ultimate Origin of life contained within the Tree of Life holds a fatal temptation for that Demon Mother Nest, which is in desperate need of evolution and constant reproduction!

Even facing this "strongest lineup" on the anti-demon defensive line, Empress Luyin did not give up.

It is not that she does not want to leave with her people, but that she cannot leave!

She herself is the first generation of life elves birthed by the Tree of Life.

As long as the tree exists, she exists; if the tree dies, she dies!

This tree is the life of the Elven race; they simply cannot tear through the Void Realm and run away like other Great Emperors.

Relying on the natural geographical advantage of the Tree of Life and Empress Luyin's desperate resistance, both sides were forced into a stalemate.

Just when Empress Luyin thought they could rely on the barrier to hold on and continue gathering the surviving Cultivators from other Star Domains...

The Realm Demons unleashed a lethal weapon!

"That damn worm... how could it have such a perverse ability!"

Below, a hot-tempered Thunder-element Great Emperor smashed the jade table in front of him with a heavy blow, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

This demon worm has no attack power, but it possesses a highly perverse attribute: it can ignore barriers and directly devour the Origin of the Tree of Life, converting it into filthy demonic power!

"According to my deduction, the defense of that worm should be very weak."

Another Sword Cultivator Great Emperor shook his head in despair: "But those two black Commanders are guarding that worm without stepping away for even a moment! Let alone killing it, we cannot even get within a hundred zhang of it!"

This is the most desperate form of boiling a frog in warm water!

Empress Luyin felt the life force within her becoming weaker and weaker, her expression grim.

In the short term, the vast foundation of the Tree of Life can still withstand this devouring.

But in the long run, the Origin of the Tree of Life will be completely exhausted!

At that time, the entire barrier will collapse on its own, and the ten billion living beings of the Life Star Domain will all become rations for the demons.

"If things continue like this, the Life Star Domain... will likely not escape the fate of falling."

An aged Saint sighed deeply, tears streaming down his face.

Listening to the sighs of the crowd, filled with despair and the will to die, Empress Luyin's heart sank to the bottom.

"I have already sent a request for reinforcements to Great Emperor Purgatory and several other powerful Star Domains."

Empress Luyin forced herself to stay spirited, trying to give everyone a glimmer of hope, but her voice revealed deep helplessness:

"However... with the Realm Demons launching a full-scale outbreak, I imagine they are not having an easy time either."

In fact, if someone could hold back the two black Demon Commanders, they would have a chance to kill that demon worm.

Unfortunately, no one can do it.

The Sanctuary fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone knew that even if Great Emperor Purgatory risked his life to come, his severely wounded body would definitely not be able to defeat two Late Stage Demon Commanders.

The Life Star Domain truly seemed to have reached its end.

Just in this darkest moment, when the suppression had reached its extreme.

"Hum—"

The Void Realm in the center of the Sanctuary suddenly rippled with an extremely, extremely faint spatial disturbance.

Immediately after, a voice rang out.

"I wonder if I can hold them off?"

As the voice faded, the space in the center of the Sanctuary dispersed like water ripples, and an illusory figure slowly emerged.

His face was blurred, as if the surrounding light and space were twisting and folding around it, making it impossible for anyone to see his true appearance.

This is the hallmark of having comprehended the Law of Space to Major Achievement!

"Void... your injuries..."

Empress Luyin stood up, looking at the newcomer with a complex expression.

The Great Emperors and Saints in the hall were also shaken, a surge of indescribable respect instantly welling up in their eyes.

As one of the three-man vanguard team that first stormed the territory of the Demon Mother Nest, everyone knew how tragic that battle had been.

Sword Emperor self-destructed and fell, Great Emperor Purgatory lost an arm, and Void Emperor was left with only half a broken body, hanging onto life by a single breath.

And now, Void Emperor, despite his unhealed wounds, had forcibly come out of seclusion for the sake of the Tree of Life and the survival of everyone!

This spirit of burning his bridges alone was enough to move all the powerful figures present!

"It is fine."

Void Emperor waved his hand, and a hoarse voice came from beneath his blurred face:

"The Tree of Life is truly the final pure land of the Star Domain. If not for you, Empress, using the Origin essence of the ancient Tree of Life to force me back to life, I, Void, would have long since become a pile of rotting flesh in the spatial turbulence."

Void Emperor turned around, his gaze piercing through the Sanctuary to look at the rolling dark red demonic mist outside the Star Domain, his tone carrying the unique pride and determination of a Great Emperor:

"Greenery, fellow Cultivators. In a moment, I will sacrifice all of my Space Extreme Dao Origin, forcibly sever the starry sky in that area, and drag those two black Demon Commanders into my spatial turbulence!"

"Please be prepared!"
