211: Chapter 211: The Demon Tree's Violent Absorption

"What is this?" Lin Yuan asked, looking up.

"The World Heart, and an Epic-tier Divine Domain coordinate shielding card."

Su Jin pointed at the five spheres in the center of the box.

"I don't need to explain the shielding card much; stick it onto your Divine Domain core, and it can forcibly interfere with the deduction and locking targeted at your Divine Domain coordinates."

She paused, her gaze falling on the five spheres, a hint of seriousness appearing in her expression.

"As for the World Heart, you can understand it as a purified version of a plane core."

"Ordinary plane cores possess self-awareness as well as the grievances and Impurities of the aborigines."

"For ordinary demigods, absorbing them is time-consuming and laborious."

Su Jin stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, and looked out at the sky outside.

"In the trading circles of truly high-tier deities,"

"top legions and universities will use stellar furnaces and True God-tier Law Formations to strip high-tier plane cores that have been plundered."

"Stripping away all negative energy, leaving only the purest plane Origin force."

"The product compressed after this absolute purification is the World Heart."

Lin Yuan lowered his head to look at the five light clusters in his arms.

"The five in your hand are all World Hearts purified from Transcendental-grade planes."

Su Jin's voice echoed in the living room: "Every single one is priced at over 10 billion faith points in the military's internal exchange System."

"And in the external black market, these are top-tier strategically controlled materials that are priceless and unavailable, not circulating at all."

Each one had a market value of over 10 billion credit points!

"This is too generous," Lin Yuan sighed with emotion.

Although purification was actually of little use to himself and wasted quite a bit,

he still had to marvel at the lavishness of Starry Sky University.

"Since you have become the leader of the vanguard army, this is the startup capital you deserve." Su Jin turned around, raising her right hand once more.

This time, what emerged in her palm was a rhombus-shaped crystal only the size of a fingernail, inside which a miniature brilliant galaxy seemed to be sealed.

As soon as the crystal appeared, the gravity rules within the living room began to fail, and the teacups and tableware on the coffee table slowly floated into the air simultaneously.

Su Jin flicked her finger, and the translucent crystal flew in front of Lin Yuan.

"Accept this."

"What is this?" Lin Yuan reached out and grasped the crystal. The touch was warm, and that miniature galaxy inside slowly rotated in his palm.

It transmitted a vast Divine Might identical to the one on Su Jin's body.

"Back when I ignited the divine fire and lifted my divine kingdom habitat into the astral realm, it was a coordinate keepsake replicated in the underlying logic of the Universe using Origin Laws."

Su Jin explained: "Simply put, this is the projection anchor of my divine kingdom."

"The Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races runs very deep. If you encounter danger and have no choice but to ask for help, you can try to communicate with it."

"As long as it is still within the dimensional range of this Universe, this keepsake can ignore all spacetime Seals."

"Forcibly erecting a True God descent bridge between your location and my divine kingdom."

Lin Yuan tightly grasped the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand.

This was no longer an ordinary life-saving prop; this was a True God-tier powerhouse's natal protection keepsake.

Handing over such a thing meant that Su Jin was ready at any time to descend in her true body for him.

This favor was heavier than imaginable.

"Many thanks, Senior," Lin Yuan stood up and solemnly performed a Junior's salute.

"Alright, don't play these empty and flashy courtesies with me."

Su Jin waved her hand, interrupting Lin Yuan's action, "For the next period of time, I will stay deep within the campus area."

"I hope you never have to use this crystal."

She walked to the entryway, her footsteps pausing slightly as she turned back to look at Lin Yuan.

"Those five Transcendental-grade World Hearts contain quite immense energy, and the Law fragments are also extremely profound."

"Don't go anywhere these few days, stay honestly in the villa, mobilize the Laws within your Divine Domain, and bit by bit strip and digest these five World Hearts."

"Remember not to be greedy for success and advance rashly; once the Transcendental-grade Origin force loses control and explodes within your Divine Domain, it will be enough to blow half of your Divine Domain continent to sink."

"Strive to completely absorb them before setting off, which can elevate your strength to another level."

Having said that, Su Jin pushed open the villa door, transforming into a wisp of moon-white starlight that dissipated into the horizon.

Lin Yuan watched Su Jin leave, lowering his head to look at the alloy box in his hand, a strange smile curling the corners of his mouth.

Greedy for success and advancing rashly?

Stripping and digesting bit by bit?

Transcendental-grade Origin force losing control and exploding?

These warnings were pearls of wisdom worth every word for any Prodigy who normally walked the orthodox divine path.

But for Lin Yuan, it didn't apply at all.

Lin Yuan did not linger too much in the real world, sitting cross-legged on the futon, descending into the Wasteland Divine Domain.

...

Wasteland Divine Domain, center of the basin, a heavy rain of Spiritual Qi sprinkled between heaven and earth.

The huge canopy of the tree covered the entire firmament.

On the black-gold dark-iron-colored trunk, Chaos airflow slowly circulated along the naturally generated starry sky destruction totems.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared directly above the Demon Tree.

As soon as he appeared, the Demon Tree below produced a reaction.

In the center of the trunk, a face agglomerated from metallic fluid instantly emerged.

Fissure-like eyes stared fixedly at the alloy box in Lin Yuan's hand.

"Master... fragrant... so fragrant..."

"Eat... want to eat... big ball..."

Intermittent spiritual fluctuations filled with endless desire and greed came over.

"Don't worry, there's plenty."

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, directly lifting the lid of the alloy box.

With a wave of his right hand, the five World Hearts headed straight for the Demon Tree below.

"Awooo!"

The metal face in the center of the trunk opened a Void Realm-sized giant mouth with a diameter of one kilometer, and a black-hole-like suction force erupted from the mouth.

[Characteristic 2: Plane Devouring Strike] fully activated!

The five Transcendental World Hearts didn't even have a shred of room for resistance, being directly sucked into the ten-thousand-meter giant mouth.

"Crack! Crack!"

The Transcendental-grade World Hearts that Su Jin said required "caution and spending time to slowly strip".

In front of the Legendary-tier Terminal Demon Tree, they were just like five sugar beans.

Boom!

Five strands of pure world power erupted within the Demon Tree's body.

Dark purple destruction thunder, absolute zero extreme cold ice streams, and space power tearing everything apart.

Heavy and peerless dark gold iron streams, as well as surging and vast crimson blood Qi, attempted to run amok within the Demon Tree's body.

However, the starry sky destruction totems on the surface of the Demon Tree's bark instantly lit up with a dim light.

[Terminal Force Field] reversely suppressed inside the body!

All world energies, upon touching the terminal totems, were all converted into nutrients.

Flowing along the 800,000-meter-high trunk, they poured into the 20,000 Sumeru tree nests and the depths of the Divine Domain continent.

Visibly to the naked eye, the Demon Tree's trunk began to expand once again.

810,000 meters... 850,000 meters... 900,000 meters!

The black-gold dark-iron-colored bark became even more profound, and on the surface of the trunk, beside the totems originally surrounded only by Chaos airflow,

forcefully emerged five brand-new Law imprints representing thunder, extreme cold, space, metal-stone, and blood Qi!

Not only that, the spatial volume inside the 20,000 Sumeru tree nests expanded by more than tenfold!

The grayish-white patterns on the inner walls of the tree nests further solidified, and the Spiritual Qi concentration inside directly transformed from liquid toward crystalline.

The fine-tuning upper limit of the time flow rate even faintly touched the threshold of five times.

"Hiccup..."

An energy burp was let out from the Demon Tree's mouth, transforming into a ring of colorful energy shockwaves that swept across the entire Central Basin.

From swallowing the five Transcendental World Hearts to completely crushing, absorbing, and converting them,

the total time spent was less than ten seconds.

Lin Yuan stood high in the air, overlooking the drastic changes happening below, his eyes bright.

The Demon Tree ate meat, and the entire Divine Domain followed along to drink soup.

As the five World Hearts were digested, five pillars of light condensed from pure Laws

soared into the sky from the top of the Demon Tree, then transformed into a sky-filling rain of Law light, sprinkling into every corner of the Divine Domain.

Inside the Central Basin, all Tyrant Demons bathed in the light rain.

On the liquid-metal armor circulating on their body surfaces, lines of resistance automatically derived.

Some Tyrant Demons whose strength was at the top of the Divine Domain directly grabbed the thunder Laws in the air, integrating them into their own gravity black spheres, causing the destructive power of the black spheres to surge several-fold.

Extreme North, deep inside the volcano.

Countless Calamity Fire Spirits devoured the Law light rain of the extreme cold ice streams.

The karmic fire bodies, which were already biased towards cold fire poison, became increasingly mutated and terrifying under the watering of the light rain.

Further away.

The Zerg army and the Sea and Sky Tribes greedily absorbed fragments of space power and crimson blood Qi.

They became increasingly illusory, and the speed of switching between reality and illusion doubled entirely.

And massive numbers of low-tier dependents, under the nourishment of the surging blood Qi,

experienced explosive growth in size, a massive surge in life tenacity, and a shockingly terrifying speed of severed-limb regeneration!

The rank of the entire Wasteland Divine Domain underwent a deep transition under the infusion of these five Transcendental-grade world powers.

The crust of the Divine Domain continent improved once again, and the thickness of the spatial crystal walls surged dramatically.

Today's Wasteland Divine Domain, even without relying on the protection of the Demon Tree,

could freely accommodate thousands of Epic-tier dependents simultaneously unfolding heaven and earth power without any spatial collapse occurring.

Lin Yuan pulled up the Divine Domain panel, looking at the rapidly rising dependent combat power data on it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curling upward.

The benefits of the five Transcendental World Hearts had been squeezed to the absolute limit.

He lowered his head to look at the remaining silver card in his hand.

[Prop Name: Divine Domain Coordinate Shielding Card]

[Tier: Epic Tier]

[Effect: After use, it merges into the Divine Domain core. It can forcibly shield and distort all Epic-tier and below hostile targets' detection, deduction, and locking on this Divine Domain's coordinates. Duration: Thirty natural days.]

Lin Yuan's fingertips rubbed the cold edges of the card, originally planning to crush it directly and integrate it into the Divine Domain.

But his movements suddenly stopped.

He raised his head and glanced at the time in the real world.

From the moment he entered the Divine Domain holding the alloy box, to the Demon Tree swallowing the five cores, to the Law light rain remodeling the entire Divine Domain.

The time in the real world had passed less than three minutes.

Lin Yuan hovered above the 850,000-meter-tall giant tree, surrounded by ten billion dependents who were cheering and joyfully Cultivating in an involutionary manner.

But he himself fell into emptiness and speechlessness.

He discovered a serious realistic problem.

That was that he had nothing to do.

Under normal circumstances, a demigod plundered an alien plane.

What needed to be done next was to spend ten and a half months in seclusion, meditating and digesting the gains.

This was called the "digestive period".

But Lin Yuan's Divine Soul didn't have this concept at all.

Theoretically, as long as the energy upper limit did not exceed the Demon Tree's bearing limit, infinite devouring and second-speed digestion could be achieved.

The five Transcendental World Hearts given to him by Su Jin were, from the outside world's perspective, resources sufficient for him to digest until the opening of the Blood Pact War.

But in front of the Legendary-tier Demon Tree, this was truly just an "appetizer", lacking even the qualification to make it enter a deep sleep for evolution.

"Master... want more... didn't eat enough..."

The Demon Tree's spiritual fluctuations came over once again, carrying a bit of grievance.

Lin Yuan rubbed his brow.

He couldn't possibly run back to find Su Jin now and tell this True God Senior:

"I finished eating the five Transcendental cores you gave me in three minutes, I didn't eat enough, can you give me ten more?"

If he really did that, Su Jin would either think he was an arrogant kid who aimed too high and spoke nonsense,

or suspect that he harbored some taboo secret capable of subverting the rules of the Universe.

Whichever it was, it wasn't a good thing.

However, honestly staying in the villa and wasting several days of precious time was not his style.

Since he couldn't actively go out to hunt alien planes...
