Chapter 691: Chapter 690: Did the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree Traverse Space and Time? A Single Punch Shatters a Saint’s Courage [Part 1]
Another sword strike followed closely, aiming straight at Zhunti’s head.
Zhunti’s face was filled with alarm; he couldn’t bother to activate the rules and hastily used the technique Words and Laws Follow, summoning a Chaos Barrier from the ground to block in front of him.
But after all, he was no longer what he used to be, and the Chaos Barrier he summoned couldn’t stop the Immortal Sword in Lin Heng’s hand.
With a thunderous crack, the barrier was split in two.
Terrifying Sword Qi shot out from within, striking Zhunti, who, enraged, retaliated with a colossal Buddha’s Palm.
Yet after a brief clash,
the entire Buddha’s Palm was torn to shreds by the Sword Qi.
Golden blood scattered across the sky, with each drop forming a boiling ocean in this world.
From a bird’s eye view, the vast land of hundreds of millions of miles was pitted and dotted with golden lakes.
Such a scene was magnificent and breathtaking.
But this magnificence was built upon the blood of former Saints.
This sword couldn’t kill Zhunti, but it did indeed wound him.
He looked at his shattered hand in shock and anger, his face filled with an expression of unacceptable rage.
"How can you, how can you..."
"You, a mere junior ant... how dare you challenge a former Saint?"
Zhunti could no longer remain calm. He roared to the sky, and blood surged from his severed hand as jade-like fingers regrew.
Meanwhile,
from the endless void, a rumbling sound came.
Then, the aura of an Extreme Sacred Weapon burst into this stream of Ancient History.
That was Zhunti’s former companion, an Extreme Sacred Weapon that accompanied him through countless battles before being passed to Tathagata, the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree!
The Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree traversed time and space, its formidable presence sensed across All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
This instilled fear in countless creatures.
It also caused an uproar in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm.
"Was that just now the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree that appeared last time?"
"Oh my god, has Tathagata reappeared?"
Many were shocked.
Their first reaction was that Tathagata had returned to the Grand Thousand Upper Realm.
Because everyone knew that after the Divine Enthronement, the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree had been with Tathagata.
Last time at the Daoist Celestial Court,
when Taixu Celestial Venerable trapped Tathagata with the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, Tathagata had once summoned this renowned Innate Extreme Sacred Weapon!
So now, seeing this item appear, they instinctively guessed that Tathagata was making a comeback.
This made many in the Daoist Celestial Court anxious.
"The Celestial Venerable is already fighting one against three, and now with Tathagata, how can this be handled?"
The gods were worried and burning with anxiety.
Even the Long-armed Ape Sun Wukong and others showed worried expressions.
However, Yang Jian shook his head solemnly: "Tathagata hasn’t appeared. If he did, I wouldn’t possibly not sense it. What headed to that spacetime battlefield is just the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but exchange glances, but the worry on their faces couldn’t be dispelled.
"The Celestial Venerable is already fighting one against three. Now this Holy Soldier is aiding the battle; the situation probably isn’t optimistic..."
Many nodded, their faces troubled.
But Shen Gongbao said, "Perhaps this is good news."
"Why?" Everyone looked at him with perplexed eyes.
He explained, "The Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree is in Tathagata’s hands, and Tathagata is already in some crisis beyond our understanding. Unless Zhunti is in dire peril, even if the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree was summoned, it would be difficult to detach from Tathagata and rush to the battlefield."
"In this situation, there’s only one possibility."
"That is, the Celestial Venerable fighting one against three has cornered them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was enlightened and then dumbfounded.
"Fighting one against three, and forcing Zhunti to summon his former companion treasure?"
"How terrifying is the Celestial Venerable?"
Everyone’s hearts trembled; the strength of the Celestial Venerable had exceeded their imagination.
...
...
At that time, on the battlefield.
The battle continued.
Lin Heng suppressed the three with absolute strength, having repeatedly vanquished Zhunti and the Great Ming King Peacock. Yet being Saint Level beings, even if their bodies were destroyed millions of times, they could instantly recover.
But the three were still terrified.
Because this heaven and earth were surrounded by Lin Heng’s blood energy, showing signs of transforming into a furnace, gradually contracting.
Evidently, the opponent intended to use Heaven-Reaching Power to smelt their essence here.
This was a true kill move.
It threatened their lives!
So the three dared not hold back, unleashing all their skills and fighting with all their might.
But Lin Heng was too powerful!
No matter how much they tried, they continued to shatter and reform.
The only one slightly better off was Jieyin, who had the Twelve Grade Lotus Platform for protection.
But he was also taking the brunt of the pressure.
The lotus petals had already withered one after another.
Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree finally arrived in this spacetime.
Zhunti, reduced to a bloodied state once again, revealed an excited look and shouted, "Old friend, fight with me!"
Boom!
The ancient tree towered, its branches shaking, rising to a point where they disappeared into the depths of the cosmos.
The Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree emanated an overwhelming and mystical aura of unmatched power; it’s truly an Innate item!
It even shattered the Cyan Ping Sword of the Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader before!
Every trace of Immortal Light it emitted held the momentum to crush galaxies, with branches swaying in the sky, and all Immortal Light scattered was infused into Zhunti.
Zhunti’s blood energy rapidly surged; vaguely, a Dharma Aspect from his peak period seemed to appear behind him.
"Come on, brat!"
Zhunti roared, unleashing a palm strike, its blazing brilliance piercing through the dark cosmos.
Yet Lin Heng’s face remained expressionless. He had only one thought: to retract his limitless Dharma Body and unleash his full strength in one punch.
The universe in this spacetime shattered completely.
The terrifying fist enveloped in overwhelming blood energy, and the divine radiance of the Buddha’s palm collided, producing ripples that swiftly swept over this entire universe.
Then.
Golden blood showered down like a torrential downpour.
Lin Heng stood unmoving within the black hole.
And Zhunti, though granted the blessing of a Holy Soldier, found his physical body shattered, blasted away.
Even that Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree was sent reeling backward. ƒrēewebnovel.com
At this moment.
The Great Ming King Peacock and Jieyin were utterly stunned.
They looked at the guy with eyes filled not only with anger but with incomprehensible shock.
Especially Jieyin.
He well understood the deep bond between Zhunti and the Seven Treasure Marvelous Tree, so much so that, embedded with the tree’s Immortal Light, Zhunti could exhibit nearly seventy percent of his peak power.
But...
He was still blasted to the point of having his body shattered with just one punch by that guy.
It was truly terrifying.
Terrifying to the point that Jieyin couldn’t comprehend how the other could possess such power?
And just as he was so shocked that he was rendered speechless, Zhunti’s body had already reformed, but now he no longer had a shred of confidence. As soon as he reformed, he shouted in astonishment:
"It’s Pangu’s strength!"
"He has Pangu’s strength!"
"Run!!"
