407: Chapter 47 Resurrection (25)

In the Eastern Region, there was a Forbidden Ground shrouded in the True Solar Flame all year round.

At the very core of this Forbidden Ground, an existence like a true sun radiated a terrifying pressure.

It was a man sitting cross-legged.

He was the Revered Master of this Forbidden Ground, the "Sun Venerable."

Suddenly, this supreme being, who had been slumbering for untold eras, gave a violent shudder.

He abruptly snapped his eyes open.

His eyes were filled with excitement and disbelief.

Two lines of hot tears fell, evaporating the instant they touched his body.

"There's no mistake..."

"It's Big Brother Yun!"

His voice trembled with excitement, carrying a hint of a sob.

"It's him! He's back! He's really back!"

In the next moment, his aura erupted violently as he prepared to forcibly break out of this Forbidden Ground where he had been in seclusion for endless ages.

He wanted to see him immediately.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of thin air before him, blocking his path.

It was a female Great Saint with a distinguished bearing—the same woman who had been ordered to investigate the Northern Region thousands of years ago.

"Revered Master! You mustn't!"

Her voice was incredibly urgent, filled with worry.

"You are at a critical juncture of your Breakthrough, just one step away from reaching Perfection. If you force your way out now, all your previous efforts will be wasted, and your dao foundation will be damaged!"

Sun Venerable looked at his Disciple, but the excitement in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"What do you know! That's Big Brother Yun! Big Brother Yun is back!"

He tried to bypass his Disciple, but the female Great Saint stood firmly in front of him, her attitude resolute.

"Revered Master! With the heaven-reaching abilities of that Senior Yun you speak of, who in this world could possibly harm him in the slightest?"

"Why must you be in such a hurry right now?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Sun Venerable's excitement-addled mind.

He stopped his movements.

That's right.

That was Big Brother Yun.

The powerhouse who once suppressed an entire era single-handedly.

In his heart, Big Brother Yun was synonymous with invincibility.

Sun Venerable forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and sat back down cross-legged.

His aura slowly retracted, though the tears in his eyes continued to flow uncontrollably.

"You are right."

"I was being too attached to appearances."

He closed his eyes, his voice filled with absolute trust and pride.

"Once I have achieved Perfection, I will go to pay my respects to Big Brother Yun."

Seeing this, the female Great Saint finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She respectfully withdrew, her heart filled with endless curiosity and awe for this "Big Brother Yun" she had never met, yet who could make her Revered Master lose his composure so completely... A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yun's place of secluded cultivation was silent.

On this day, his cultivation reached its natural conclusion, and his aura surged explosively.

Five Lotus Saint King.

Wang Yun opened his eyes, dao rhyme swirling within them, his gaze deep.

The moment he broke through, an incredibly urgent call from the distant starry sky was clearly imprinted deep within his Divine Soul.

Wang Yun's expression changed instantly.

He understood in a flash that it was the "seed of grass and wood" he had once protected, sending him a most desperate signal for help.

Without any hesitation.

Wang Yun's eyes turned cold, radiating killing intent.

He took a step forward, tearing through the Void Realm, and vanished as he followed that ethereal connection... Deep in the endless starry sky.

The embryonic world evolved from the seed of grass and wood had already changed its appearance.

A massive divine tree, emerald green throughout and seemingly condensed from the purest Laws of Life, was rooted in the Chaos.

Its branches and leaves stretched out, each leaf appearing to hold up a newborn world, filled with an endless aura of life.

This was the prototype of the World Tree.

However, at this moment, this divine tree representing infinite vitality was shaking violently, its light dimming.

Three figures stood in a triangular formation, surrounding it and launching continuous attacks.

The leader was a man wearing a luxurious Star-Patterned Robe.

He also possessed the cultivation of a Five Lotus Saint King, with a powerful aura and a "heavens heart imprint" flashing with profound dao runes on his forehead.

He was the final victor of the Ancient Starry Road in this era, the pinnacle of all contemporary Prodigies.

Behind him stood two powerful Saint-Grade experts, waiting respectfully.

Those two were his Dao Protectors.

To have Great Saints as Dao Protectors was enough to prove his extraordinary background from the "Nine Heavens."

"What a pleasant surprise."

The man looked at the crumbling embryonic World Tree before him, his eyes filled with greed.

"I thought I was just ordered to come and investigate, but I didn't expect to encounter such a miraculous object."

He gave orders to the two Great Saints behind him.

"This item is fated to be mine; I must have it."

"I will refine it into my natal Saint Weapon. When I attain the Dao and become a Great Emperor in the future, it will be my primary Imperial Weapon."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

The two Great Saints responded respectfully.

The three of them no longer held back and began to launch their most violent attacks against the embryonic World Tree.

Although the World Tree had vast vitality, it was still in its infancy and had not yet fully matured.

Under the joint siege of a Five Lotus Saint King and two Great Saints, it retreated steadily, countless branches and leaves breaking as its light grew ever dimmer.

A mournful thought emanated from the World Tree's main body.

It was crying out for help.

"Still trying to resist?"

"Be suppressed!"

A power transcending ordinary Daos descended with a crash, firmly suppressing the World Tree's resistance.

He reached out his hand, intending to pull this future divine object up by its roots.

Just as his hand was about to touch the main trunk of the World Tree.

At the critical moment.

A strand of Sword Qi filled with fury and the will of destruction came across the endless Star Domain.

"Not good!"

The man's face changed drastically; from that Sword Qi, he felt a death threat that made his heart skip a beat.

He didn't care about seizing the World Tree anymore and retreated simultaneously with his two Great Saint Dao Protectors, pushing their defenses to the limit.

Boom!

The Sword Qi slashed down.

The three figures were instantly forced back ten thousand miles, their blood and Qi churning.

When the light dissipated, they looked up.

They saw a figure in white who had appeared before the World Tree at some unknown point, blocking their path.

The newcomer's face was calm, but his eyes were bone-chillingly cold and brimming with killing intent.

It was Wang Yun, who had rushed all the way there following the connection.

The man steadied himself and looked at Wang Yun, his eyes full of wariness.

He could sense that the other's cultivation was equal to his own, but the power of that sword strike just now had made him feel a great threat.

Wang Yun's gaze fell upon the dimmed World Tree with its broken branches, feeling the sense of closeness and grievance it transmitted.

Wang Yun was instantly consumed by rage.

This was the Karma he had promised to protect.

This was the last hope of the Grass and Wood Clan.

He turned his head, his gaze falling once more on the three people opposite him.

The great battle was about to erupt.
