Tyrant Shadow descended from above, flashing with Heavenly Fire and Thunderbolt.
All the branches that tried to entangle it were cleanly sliced apart, the blade’s edge brimming with endless sharpness.
It split the phantom of the Tree of Life right down the middle from its roots, tearing it completely apart.
As the phantom of the Tree of Life was cleaved, Elder Tianze beside it spat out a mouthful of blood.
Kneeling on the ground, his expression appeared extrely listless.
Seeing this scene, all the people in blue robes blocked in front of Elder Tianze, watching Xu Zii with a stern readiness.
"Sir, are you declaring yourself an enemy of Extinct Heaven Sect?" Elder Tianche said with a grave expression.
"Go back and relay a ssage to your Sect Master," Xu Zii said indifferently, "In seven days, I will co and annihilate your sect."
As Xu Zii’s words fell, everyone present changed color dramatically.
"Arrogant,
presumptuous,
recklessly bold."
One after another, the people in blue robes shook with anger, glaring furiously at Xu Zii.
"I’m giving you a chance to live; I’ll take care of it all in seven days," Xu Zii sheathed Tyrant Shadow and said nonchalantly.
Elder Tianche, trying to suppress the rage in his heart, made an effort to calm his tone.
"Sir, please rember the words you uttered today.
Our Extinct Heaven Sect calmly awaits your arrival."
After speaking, Elder Tianche took a deep breath.
In this era, to obliterate an Imperial Rule Immortal Gate is a very difficult task.
Moreover, the Extinct Heaven Sect is not one of those old, traditional Imperial Rule Immortal Gates.
Those Immortal Gates, because of the aeons that have passed, many of their War Generals are no longer able to appear in the world.
Even more tragically, so War Generals have died in their Dust Blood Coffins.
But for their Extinct Heaven Sect, ever since the Ancestor, Extinct Heaven Great Emperor, embraced his destiny,
The second patriarch, Heaven-slaying Great Emperor, ascended only nearly ten thousand years ago.
Being an entity with two emperors, they possessed the confidence and the strength.
Even among the Immortal Gates, they feared no one.
...
Watching Elder Tianche leave with nurous disciples in blue robes, Xu Zii frowned slightly.
According to the reminder of the Leaf of Life, the aura of the mother leaf vanished right here.
After circling the entire courtyard, Xu Zii did not find anything unusual.
Just as he was pondering, his gaze inadvertently caught a Seven-Colored Dawn Tree in the courtyard.
This type of tree is one of the most common plants on the Yuan Central Continent.
At dawn and dusk, this tree emits a radiance like the colorful morning sun and the evening glow.
Its ornantal value is extraordinary.
Xu Zii walked up to the tree and knocked on it, producing a "bang bang bang" muffled sound from within.
He sliced the trunk open with his knife and discovered that the inside was entirely hollow.
Inside the trunk, endless Spiritual Energy surged, forming a vortex that was, in fact, a Void Gate.
This Void Gate shut off everything; Xu Zii stepped into it.
As soon as he walked in, before he could steady himself, a swoosh sounded by his ears, and sothing struck at his head.
Xu Zii’s figure soared into the air, neatly dodging the attack.
"How is it you?" The figure finally saw Xu Zii’s face and said in disbelief.
Xu Zii frowned slightly, the person who had attacked him was Yao Shengnan.
At this mont, the space he was in was an incredibly narrow one, surrounded by chaotic space streams; the space was evidently still quite unstable.
And Xiao Guizi lay next to her, covered in blood and extrely weak.
"What happened?" Xu Zii approached and asked.
"He was hit by those outside while trying to save . All his internal organs are injured. You must help him quickly," Yao Shengnan hurriedly said.
Xu Zii walked up to Xiao Guizi, who had already passed out at this mont.
Only a very faint breath could be heard gasping for air.
Xu Zii took a pill from the Storage Ring and placed it in Xiao Guizi’s mouth.
"There is too little Spiritual Energy here, let’s get out first," she said.
Saying so, Xu Zii carried Xiao Guizi to the courtyard.
As the pill entered his body, Spiritual Energy from the surroundings began to converge, flowing into Xiao Guizi, healing his injuries.
"You help as well," Xu Zii said to the Leaf of Life.
The Leaf of Life hesitated for a mont, but eventually strands of pale green Spiritual Energy made their way into Xiao Guizi’s body.
"Where is the mother leaf you promised?" Xu Zii asked Yao Shengnan.
Yao Shengnan took a deep breath and cautiously handed a leaf to Xu Zii.
She spoke softly, "Each ti this mother leaf is transported to the Tree of Life, it requires a trendous amount of power.
Therefore, it is often in a state of slumber.
Once you have fulfilled my request, I will tell you how to transport it."
Xu Zii took the mother leaf and stored it away.
She also tucked away the nearby Leaf of Life.
"Hey, you said once we found the mother leaf you would let......"
The Leaf of Life hadn’t finished speaking when Xu Zii stored it away.
"It seems it had sothing to say," Yao Shengnan said cautiously from the side.
"Really? I didn’t hear anything," Xu Zii shook her head and replied.
"Isn’t it ti to tell about the relationship between Heaven Clan and the Extinct Heaven Sect now?"
Yao Shengnan fell silent for a while before finally speaking slowly, "Actually, a long ti ago, the mbers of the Extinct Heaven Sect were people from our Heaven Clan.
You should know about our Heaven Clan’s most cruel reproduction rule," she said.
Xu Zii nodded, "The death of parents giving birth to two children, always one male and one female.
This is also why your Heaven Clan has never been able to grow in numbers."
"Right, every Heaven Clan mber destined to reproduce cannot escape death," Yao Shengnan said softly.
"Therefore, within the Heaven Clan, there is a faction that wants to break the chains of this destiny.
If reproduction always results in death for the people of Heaven Clan,
what if there were offspring between Heaven Clan and the human race?
With this idea, many from the Heaven Clan secretly conducted such experints.
Later, they concluded that reproducing with the human race could indeed avoid this fatal destiny."
"And then?" Xu Zii asked.
"As you know, those born of our Heaven Clan are always accompanied by a falling Leaf of Life," Yao Shengnan said.
"But those offspring bred with humans are not under the protection of the Tree of Life.
Our Heaven Clan individuals can have a very long life, choosing to reproduce only at the end of their natural lifespan.
Yet those of the Heaven Clan with human lineage, their lifespans are remarkably short."
"So they sought to seize the Leaf of Life from your Heaven Clan?" Xu Zii guessed.
"Long ago, whether it was the Extinct Heaven Great Emperor or the Heaven-slaying Great Emperor, they still had old affections and forbade the Extinct Heaven Sect from acting against our Heaven Clan," Yao Shengnan said.
"But the current Sect Master of the Extinct Heaven Sect is an extremist, and he wants to seize our Leaf of Life.
Because the Clan Leader disagreed, he even ordered his disciples to commit genocide against us."
