Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Underneath the Tree of Life and inside the golden shield, everyone had lost all hope. Many of them vented their hatred on Meng Lei.
“You bastard!”
“It’s all his fault! If it hadn’t been for him, we wouldn’t have landed ourselves in such a predicament!”
“That fool screwed us over so bad!”
“It’s over! All over!”
“What a pitiful and foolish idiot. Is he actually having delusions of resistance? What a joke! How laughable! Tragic…”
Boom!
However, it was at this moment that innumerable greenish-black air currents suddenly burst forth from Meng Lei, who had been imprisoned on the spot by the Tree of Life’s God’s Domain and unable to move even a finger.
As though blazing cyan flames yet also like thick, roiling smoke signals of war rising high into the sky, they wrapped all around Meng Lei in an instant.
Boom!
As if skyrocketing, Meng Lei’s aura spiked and expanded insanely.
10, 50, 98, 99…
Boom!
It instantly went off the charts.
In the time for one to take just a few short breaths, Meng Lei’s aura had been boosted by not just a hundred or a thousand times—a terrifying pressure spread and swept outward in every direction, crashing down on everyone’s spirits.
Boom!
Hardly able to breathe, everyone felt as though a great mountain that weighed a billion tons was weighing down on them. Shock and horror filled their eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“What has happened to that idiot?”
“Meng Lei has broken through again?”
Abbe’s beautiful eyes twinkled with extraordinary splendor.
“Eh?”
The Tree of Life let out a soft sound of surprise and commented, “That cunning human has actually broken through in the face of danger? Interesting!”
Screech!
A sharp, ear-piercing howl that almost pierced right through everyone’s souls suddenly rang out.
As everyone’s ears rang, to their horror, they saw the hologram of a furry creature manifest above Meng Lei.
Sleek, shiny fur!
Greenish-black, ink-like skin!
Sharp, savage-looking fangs!
And icy-cold eyes!
The Tree of Life exclaimed softly, “What’s that?”
For some reason, the hologram was actually causing a sense of fear that reached right into one’s bones and a sense of dread that could intimidate one’s soul in it.
It felt just like…
When it had faced a powerful Saint Domain Magical Beast when it was still small and weak—vulnerable, helpless, and pitiful…
“No! I’m a great half-deity! There’s nothing I fear!
“That’s right! There isn’t a single lifeform that I fear!”
Murderous intent overflowed from the Tree of Life’s speech as it dispelled its feelings of fear and dread.
“No matter who you are and no matter what kind of bloodline you carry, go to hell!”
Overwhelming divine power came fully crashing down on Meng Lei. Then, a golden branch shot toward him.
Whoosh!
In most people’s memories, tree branches were typically very light, nimble, and tender objects, but this particular golden branch from the Tree of Life was instead incredibly heavy and unbelievably quick.
A fearsome build coupled with a fearsome speed—one can easily imagine just how great the driving force contained in the branch must be.
Should one be struck by it, those weaker than half-deities would surely die on impact. As for how a half-deity would fare… No-one knew!
Slash!
The golden branch ripped through the air and reached Meng Lei in an instant. Just as it was about to lash against him…
Whoosh!
At the very last moment, Meng Lei—who had been trapped—vanished, leaving behind not even a trace of himself.
“What?!” The Tree of Life couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s actually vanished while he’s still inside my God’s Domain! This… This is impossible!”
“Nothing is impossible, you old tree demon!”
A cold, imposing voice rang out as Meng Lei abruptly showed up in front of the Tree of Life.
He raised the Hammer of Destruction high up into the air. A storm raged and howled furiously around the hammer. Then, it went smashing down.
Boom!
The Hammer of Destruction, which had been imbued with incredible destructiveness, smashed heavily against the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life shook violently with a deafening explosion as the hammer smashed a huge pit into its trunk.
Of course, relative to the Tree of Life’s immeasurably tall and thick trunk, the so-called “huge pit” was actually no different from a tiny pore on a human’s skin—indiscernible!
“No! Impossible!”
Nevertheless, the Tree of Life was terribly aghast.
One must know that it was a half-deity. On top of that, it was even a botanical half-deity lifeform. Its trunk was solid and indestructible; not even a fellow half-deity could wound it, let alone a mere Saint Domain.
And yet… Meng Lei had managed to!
A Saint Domain had actually wounded it!
The Tree of Life couldn’t help being alarmed, enraged, and horrified.
“Damned human! You’ve thoroughly enraged me!”
The Tree of Life flew into a terrible fit of anger. An infinite number of golden vines lashed about in the sky and turned into innumerable golden whips that blotted out the sun as they lashed toward Meng Lei in a swarm, as though intending to shatter him into bits and pieces.
“Kill!”
Meng Lei moved at lightning-fast speed, weaving to and fro and crisscrossing left and right at will amid the all-encompassing net of whips. No matter how the golden vines slapped and lashed at him, they simply didn’t manage to hit even the corners of his clothes.
He literally passed through a thicket of ten thousand whips and emerged without a single one touching him.
“Die, old tree demon!”
After weaving through the overlapping layers of whips, Meng Lei charged right up to the Tree of Life again and gave it another furious, earth-shattering hammer blast.
Howl!
Gales howled furiously as tornadoes went through the clouds!
Boom!
Another huge pit appeared in the trunk!
“You bastard! Damn it! I’m so mad! I’m so mad!”
Rage drove the Tree of Life to the brink of insanity.
It was a great half-deity that stood at the apex of the pyramid of lifeforms on Heaven’s Vault Continent. Yet it was actually powerless against a Saint Domain? How was it supposed to uphold its half-deity reputation like that?
“God’s Domain!”
The Tree of Life let out a furious roar and tried madly to suppress Meng Lei.
Buzz!
A momentary pause came over Meng Lei’s form, and he froze.
“Die!!”
Thousands upon thousands of golden whips took the opportunity to lash toward him.
Whoosh!
Meng Lei regained his mobility and vanished from the spot again.
And then…
Boom!
A third pit was formed!
(⊙o⊙)
“That brat is actually… actually…”
“Oh my dragon god! Am I dreaming?!”
“A hallucination! This must be a hallucination!”
“It’s fake! It must be fake! How can Meng Lei possibly be a match for a half-deity? He’s just a Saint Domain!”
Ol’ Amos, Abbe, the other contestants, the thousands of Holy Knights—everyone was astounded!
Who would have ever imagined the scene currently playing out in front of them?
Who would have ever imagined that the Tree of Life, a great half-deity, would actually be unable to do anything about Meng Lei, a mere Saint Domain?
On top of that, Meng Lei, the Saint Domain in question, was… even just 16 years old!
“Why exactly has it turned out like that?”
No-one could understand why, save for Ol’ Amos, whose lip corners were spasming as waves churned fiercely in his heart.
That little bastard has inexplicably gotten stronger again! It’s just that, isn’t the scale kinda too exaggerated this time?
“You goddamn little thief! I want you dead!”
The Tree of Life was so infuriated that it was close to bursting from rage.
“God’s Domain!”
Meng Lei’s form froze slightly, imprisoned once more.
“Divine Technique: Deprivation of Life!”
With a deep roar, thousands upon thousands of golden light rays burst forth from the Tree of Life. They morphed into a thick, sturdy golden light beam that instantly shrouded Meng Lei within.
Right on the heels of it, a mysterious wave of energy invaded Meng Lei’s body, taking instant effect and fervently stripping him of his lifeforce!
“A divine technique! This is a divine technique!”
Ol’ Amos shouted in warning, “Kid, a divine technique uses one’s power of divinity as a driving force. It holds absolute effect over lifeforms without any power of divinity!
“Quickly! Think of something!
“No matter what, you must break free of God’s Domain’s shackles! Otherwise, when the divine technique’s might unfolds, you’ll be doomed!”
“Move! C’mon, move!”
Meng Lei bellowed deeply, furiously trying to move his body, only to tragically find out that the God’s Domain was exceptionally powerful this time—his body didn’t listen to his command at all!
“Since that’s the case, then this is my only option now!”
Veins bulged on Meng Lei’s forehead as he let out a low roar. “Gods-Slaying Rat… Transformation!”
Pooof!
Right after he spoke, Meng Lei’s body began to furiously shrink and shrivel like a deflating inflatable doll. In the span of a few short breaths, he had become only 0.5-meters-tall.
At the same time, innumerable strands of greenish-black fur emerged on the surface of his body. Three black whiskers extended from each side of his cheeks while a long, slender, and exquisite tail grew from his bottom.
Boom!
Several greenish-black air currents circled around him as a surging, torrential blast of vast, majestic savage aura erupted from him.
All ten fingers of his turned into razor-sharp claws. His eyes were a shiny jet-black while his two front teeth turned long, slender, and sharp—he had actually transformed into a Gods-Slaying Rat Person!
Screech!
Meng Lei broke free of God’s Domain’s shackles with a light shake and immediately vanished within the golden light beam.
What nimble agility!
What terrifying defenses!
His body had become immeasurably lighter and more nimble, while his defenses had also been enhanced by several times. Meng Lei took in the new sensations, overwhelmed by his emotions. His self-confidence rose like never before.
In that instant, he actually feared the Tree of Life no more. All there was left in him was just surging fighting spirit and overflowing murderous intent.
“Disappear!”
Upon command, the Hammer of Destruction vanished.
Meng Lei swayed slightly, and then, as if he had teleported, he appeared bizarrely on the Tree of Life’s trunk.
With a light swipe of his sharp claws, a crisp scratching sound rang out, and he clawed out a deep fissure on the Tree of Life!
“What sharp claws!”
Even Meng Lei himself was astounded. His eyes shone brightly, and he began to brandish his claws again and again. Then, amidst crisp scratching sounds, a deep hole was created.
Drip…
Drip…
Droplets of golden sap seeped out of the deep hole. They emanated a light and refreshing fragrance that invigorated and revitalized all that caught a whiff of it.
“Ahhh!”
On the other hand, the Tree of Life cried out in pain instead, as thousands upon thousands of golden vines whipped toward Meng Lei in a frenzy.
As Meng Lei eyed the innumerable vines lashing through the air toward him, his eyes swiveled sneakily, and he thought to himself, Since my claws are so sharp, why don’t I…
Meng Lei promptly dived into the deep hole that he had just dug with that thought in mind!
Slash!
Slash!
As his claws repeatedly dug into the Tree of Life, the hole also became deeper and deeper.
Then, he dived right into it!
“You bastard! What are you doing? Ahhh!”
The Tree of Life was terribly aghast. Then, it let out a shrill scream, and its enormous body began to shake violently. As if it had taken Ecstasy pills, its trunk swayed while its leaves trembled.
“I dig! I dig! I dig, dig, dig!
“Compared to its astonishingly sturdy bark, its insides are surprisingly and relatively much softer! What fragrant sap! I wonder if it’s potable?”
“You little bastard, I’ve gotta hand it to you!”
Ol’ Amos’ voice, which contained boundless excitement, rang out at this point. “Hurry! Find its vitality core!
“The Tree of Life is also a botanical lifeform, so as long as you can find its vitality core, you’ll be able to kill it!
“Although there’s only a sliver of a chance, now that things have reached this point, it’s completely worth risking it and giving it a try. If you can kill it, you’ll strike gold!”
