"Kings and nobles, are they born any different?!"
Cao Erzhu let out a thunderous roar, shaking the entire Divine Relic three tis.
Feng Yujin's hand trembled, almost tearing apart the newly forged body of Mo Mo.
His eyelid twitched uncontrollably as he resisted the urge to turn around and take out that foolish brute, and instead focused on the fusion of spirit flesh.
Fighting him was out of the question.
Although Feng Yujin was considered an old Holy Emperor, with the existence of the Master of the black and white veins, he understood roughly the level of the Ten High Nobles.
Despite being a Holy Emperor, he truly had no confidence to withstand the wrath of the infamous Kui Leihan, especially when he'd heard that the surna Cao had not even achieved sanctification.
"Saint..."
A Saint, is both the pinnacle and the beginning of the Path, differing from one individual to another.
The ground trembled violently. Elder Sang and Water Ghost exchanged startled looks, shocked at how Cao Erzhu's single roar could unleash such energy.
Soon, the two ca to their senses.
"Sothing's wrong!"
The earthquake had nothing to do with Cao Erzhu.
This was because so anomaly had occurred within the Divine Relic!
"What's happening? Could the relic be collapsing?" Elder Sang raised his eyes toward the sky, which twisted and warped, undeniably exhibiting sothing unusual.
"Unlikely..."
Water Ghost still had so faith in Xu Xiaoshou. "He already has the Heavenly Realm Core. As long as the Cursed Yin doesn't return... there's absolutely no way he'd allow it the opportunity to find the relic!"
"That's not what I an."
Hearing this, Elder Sang's expression grew grimr. "Precisely because the Heavenly Realm Core's owner is Xu Xiaoshou, it wouldn't be surprising for the relic to suddenly collapse."
"Heh heh..."
Water Ghost could only respond with a mocking laugh.
Sleeveless, oh Sleeveless, even after attaining Spatial Upanishad post-demi-saint, so what? Your unsettled nature created shadows in Xu Xiaoshou's psyche?
That kid's ability to stir trouble is certainly powerful, but do you even recognize what the Divine Relic really is?
Is this the Pill Pagoda?
Is this the White Cave?
No, it's none of those.
This is the inheritance ground of Ran Ming the God-Slayer, and the site of the Cursed Yin Evil God's resurrection. It was constructed upon the foundation of the Heavenly Realm Triangle!
With such a solid "explosive" foundation, how could Xu Xiaoshou possibly blow it up?
What would he even use to blow it up?
Would he use the Blast Technique handed down from your Infernal lineage?
...
"Boom!!!"
At that mont, the sky, like an over-compressed Great Pill, couldn't contain a certain force any longer and erupted in a massive explosion.
Sangshui, Cao Erzhu, and others raised their gazes in shock. The Heavenly Realm tore open a massive crater, countless fragnts scattering downward like teors streaking through the air.
Haunting, tragic beauty.
"No way..."
Water Ghost was dumbfounded: "Did it really blow up?"
Elder Sang stood frozen, trembling hands gripping his straw hat and scratching his numbed scalp, muttering to himself, "So this is the Xu Xiaoshou you don't understand..."
How familiar was this scene?
From the Spiritual Library Division, to that boy roaming the outside world, even when Elder Sang was in the Dead Sea, he occasionally heard tales of Xu Xiaoshou's explosive deeds.
In his eyes, that boy was already a representative of destruction, wherever he went.
Abyss Island not being ruined by him might have been because the secondary plane door ended up in Bazhun'an's hands—one of the few individuals capable of suppressing the "Son of Explosion."
Now, since this Divine Relic belonged to Xu Xiaoshou, plowing through its Three Heavens was obviously not enough.
It could only function normally at noon; otherwise, morning or evening would inevitably lead to an explosion!
"But why?"
Elder Sang couldn't figure it out. The Divine Relic now belonged to Xu Xiaoshou, so why did it still explode?
Could it be that Water Ghost's ominous words ca true and the Cursed Yin Evil God had returned?
"Look quickly!"
Cao Erzhu, with his sharp eyesight, spotted a fleeting shadow of a dark green willow branch erging from the black hole in the shattered sky.
"What is that?"
Of course, Cao Erzhu recognized willows and willow branches.
But he had grown wiser now—conjectures without confirmation shouldn't be spoken. Saying that the Divine Relic suddenly exploded because of a willow branch...
Even in his own thoughts, Cao Erzhu found it ridiculous. Uncertain, he turned to look at Elder Sang and the others for answers.
"A willow..." Water Ghost muttered in a daze.
Huh?
So it really was a willow?
Was I seeing things?
"Willow..."
"And it can explode..."
"Is it an Ancestral Tree?" Cao Erzhu asked.
Ever since he left Qingyuan Mountain, he'd only encountered either supre divine weapons or Great Psionic Weapons, Ancestral Trees, or Ancestral Gods...
All of them were inevitably nad among the "Nine" or the "Ten Great."
Cao Erzhu thought these numbers might be exaggerated—"Nine" symbolizing infinity—and that made sense.
Otherwise, why would Shengshen Continent have no more than nine or ten such entities, while he seed to have co across countless examples within re months?
These days, when he saw a sword, his first thoughts were always Chaos Divine Sword, Supre Divine Sword, or one of the fad swords in the "21 Fad Swords."
Similarly, when he saw a tree, his first instinct was to think of Ancestral Trees, as if the whole continent was littered with them.
"An Ancestral Tree that can explode..."
Cao Erzhu was clueless, and Sangshui couldn't think of any Ancestral Tree with such an attribute either. An exploding Sky Shattering Hamr, on the other hand, did exist.
However, both of them were aware of the Ancestral God's Willow, the God Worship Willow Tree. Catching each other's gaze, a flash of alarm passed between them:
"Xu Xiaoshou ascended the Sacred Mountain, fighting Ai Cangsheng, inciting and activating the God Worship Willow Tree. Now, the God Worship Willow Tree has co to the Divine Relic to destroy his 'transit station'?"
The Divine Relic was indeed a transit station.
A constant stream of people under Lord Li had been transported from the five regions, delivering Xu Xiaoshou, who was in a feigned death state here, to various places across the five regions.
This way, once he'd been to a location, utilizing the Spatial Upanishad as the foundation, Xu Xiaoshou could freely travel between the Sacred Mountain and various parts of the five regions, moving as if a ghost, possibly evading even Ai Cangsheng's arrows.
No matter the case, when Xu Xiaoshou proposed this idea initially, both Elder Sang and Water Ghost thought it was excellent.
