Chapter 848: Chapter 775: An Anomaly Appears in the Reincarnation Tree

It was such a Thunder Cauldron that filled the world with thunder, but ultimately, it could not escape the devouring of that bloody maw. From the initial Thunder Spear, to the Thunderbolt Treasure Tower, the Thunderbolt Divine Sword, the Thunderous Celestial Saber, and finally the Thunder Cauldron—no matter what terrifying divine weapons were condensed from the endless Thunder Sea, none could escape being devoured by that bloody maw.

The humans and demons scattered outside the World Tree Ruins were already dumbfounded. The methods of a Rank Four Immortal were utterly terrifying, but the Snake Emperor who unified the Yaoling Mountain Range shattered everyone’s worldview even more.

"Have you devoured enough?" Xuanyuan Zhan seemed to have lost his patience. A mere snake was proving far too difficult to deal with. "Thunder Celestial Palace, manifest!"

A mirage emerged from the endless Thunder Sea as the legendary celestial palace condensed. It was a heart-stopping and unbelievable sight for the onlookers. Was this the power of an immortal?

"Just a little bit more. I’m so close." Tu Xiao’an, who had transformed into a heaven-shocking giant snake, stared at the celestial palace condensing in the Thunder Sea. Blinding light shot from his snake gaze.

HISS!

A jaw-dropping scene unfolded. Before the Thunder Celestial Palace could suppress him, everyone watched in horror as the giant snake soared into the sky. With unmatched ferocity, he charged directly into the Thunder Celestial Palace, stirring up the winds and clouds.

"You’re courting death! As an immortal, I execute the celestial punishment on behalf of the heavens to destroy you, demon snake!

"Celestial Punishment!"

Xuanyuan Zhan chanted under his breath, fully unleashing his Thunder Law Power.

BZZT BZZT BZZT!

The world was filled with the roaring of thunder, and the sky seemed ready to collapse. A suffocating pressure invaded the entirety of B City! High above, the giant snake rampaged through the celestial palace condensed from endless thunder. During this time, an immeasurable amount of Thunder Power poured down upon the snake scales. Under such a thunderous assault, no one could possibly survive.

HISS!

The snake’s hisses erupted continuously, generating shockwaves that caused the people below to bleed from their orifices.

"So comfortable. This is truly exhilarating. How satisfying!"

It was impossible not to feel pain when infinite thunder struck Tu Xiao’an’s body. However, relying on the strength of his snake scales, he absorbed the power desperately, finding the process incredibly satisfying instead. Needless to say, the destructive nature of this Thunder Law Power was vastly superior to his Thunder Element. All Tu Xiao’an had to do was absorb it—taking in massive, endless amounts of the power.

Everyone assumed that no matter how powerful the snake was, he was merely taking a one-sided beating. Passive defense would inevitably lead to his destruction. Yet, Tu Xiao’an was extremely thrilled.

Until!

DING!

"Congratulations to the host for devouring 100% of the Thunder Power. Commencing evolution!"

Evolution. What was this evolution, and what was evolving? It was the evolution of Tu Xiao’an’s Power of Thunder Element, transforming into the Thunder Law. This was an immortal method that only a Rank Four could master. To Tu Xiao’an, Xuanyuan Zhan, a Rank Four Immortal, was nothing more than a generous gift-giver.

Having witnessed the Power of Laws, Tu Xiao’an now looked down upon regular Elemental Power. Even devouring Ling Yihang’s Power of Light earlier hadn’t excited him this much. Times had changed, and the opponents he encountered were constantly growing stronger. His own methods needed to evolve with each passing day as well.

"My god! That snake still isn’t dead. He’s still struggling!"

"The immortal’s methods are so terrifying! How could he possibly withstand them? Just how monstrous is that snake’s defense?"

The human Martial Cultivators were already numb to the sight, completely speechless. If an immortal hadn’t taken action, who could possibly deal with this demon snake?

On the other hand, the demons were much calmer. Their Snake Emperor was invincible. He had unified the Yaoling Mountain Range with merely a Rank 3 cultivation, forcing countless races into submission. One day, he would reach Rank Four of Ascension. Even before his ascension, he could already face a Rank Four Immortal head-on. His awesomeness was no exaggeration. A legendary Rank Four Divine Spirit could destroy the world, yet it couldn’t kill a single snake.

A full hour passed just like that. The celestial punishment’s Thunder Power filling the sky was completely swept clean, wholly absorbed by Tu Xiao’an to evolve his own Thunder Power.

Xuanyuan Zhan’s face turned livid. He had already sensed that something was amiss. After the phenomenon of the endless thunder vanished, the heaven-shocking giant snake disappeared without a trace. In its place, a handsome young man manifested.

DING!

"Host has mastered the Thunder Law Power!"

BOOM!

A set of Purple Gold Armor appeared on Tu Xiao’an’s body. Thunder Shock flickered around him, blooming like fireworks.

"Xuanyuan Zhan, take a bolt of thunder from this Snake Emperor!"

"What!" Xuanyuan Zhan was greatly startled. Bizarrely, a patch of endless Thunder Sea appeared above his head, brimming with Thunder Power and the Power of Laws.

It was the exact same recipe and the exact same flavor—all too familiar. A Thunderbolt Divine Sword condensed into existence. It was incomparably dazzling, containing a Heaven Shocking Power that stirred the sun, moon, and stars. Instantly, the single sword multiplied into ten. The ten Thunderbolt Divine Swords abruptly slashed toward Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Demon snake, how did you do that?" Xuanyuan Zhan was absolutely astounded. The other party had also unleashed the Thunder Law Power, giving him a taste of his own medicine.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Zhan didn’t have time to overthink. He pressed his index and middle fingers together and pointed at the Thunderbolt Divine Swords from afar. With every point, space fractured, and incessant rumbling echoed in the air. Xuanyuan Zhan never dreamed that he would be attacked by the Thunder Law.

It wasn’t a pleasant feeling, but his immortal cultivation was too terrifying. After shattering the Thunderbolt Divine Swords one by one, he unleashed a final palm strike that turned the world upside down. The endless Thunder Sea above his head dissipated.

"Demon snake, you have angered this immortal."

Xuanyuan Zhan was truly infuriated. If he didn’t kill this demon snake, the heavens would not tolerate it. The beast clearly didn’t understand the true terror of a Rank Four Immortal.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, a violent explosion resembling the collapse of the starry sky erupted. A vast, earth-shattering power burst forth from Xuanyuan Zhan’s body.

A primal sense of danger instantly welled up within Tu Xiao’an. His opponent was about to get serious. But Tu Xiao’an wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Without having a real fight, there was no telling if he was inferior to a Rank Four.

Tu Xiao’an narrowed his eyes. On the outer layer of the Purple Gold Armor that had materialized from his mastery of the Thunder Law Power, colorful snake scales appeared, forming layers of defense. The Gold Element comprehensively strengthened his body as well. Even without manifesting his true form, his defensive capabilities were astonishing.

Immediately after, Tu Xiao’an’s Snake King aura boiled over, and the character for ’King’ manifested on his forehead. The aura of the Rank Four Immortal and the Snake King’s powerful Demon Qi churned the entire space into endless turbulence.

At this moment, the fruits on the World Tree Ruins began to sway. Following that, the Reincarnation Tree rustled. Shockingly, the trunk of the tree trembled slightly. With this slight tremor, countless streets across B City split open, as if a Level 18 earthquake had struck.

When this phenomenon occurred...

GASP!

Countless people gasped and froze in place, including Tu Xiao’an and Xuanyuan Zhan. Had the Reincarnation Tree been awakened?

Ordinary Martial Cultivators might not have known how terrifying the Reincarnation Tree was, but Tu Xiao’an and Xuanyuan Zhan were keenly aware of what its awakening meant. Even Xuanyuan Zhan, a Rank Four Immortal, felt his heart skip a beat and hastily withdrew his aura. Tu Xiao’an was no exception. He immediately powered down, his little heart pounding wildly.
