Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 690 Territory
A large amount of light changed direction and entered the body.

However, the light belonging to the Frost Tree remained unchanged and could not be absorbed.

Da Huang stared at Zhou Leng for a while, then ran to the Frost Tree, raised its two paws, and kept waving, then rolled around and acted cute.

The giant frost-covered tree remained unmoved.

With no other option, Big Yellow had to return to the branches and leaves of its mother tree and lie down.

In martial arts perception, there is a strange external force within the body, like a light, secretly damaging the body.

It's impossible to pinpoint its exact location; it seems to be everywhere, yet it also feels like an illusion.

Zhou Leng knew the power of the gods well, so he was not careless at all. He took turns using the Great Sun Divine Art, the Undying Star Body, and the Star Phoenix Returning to Heaven Technique to dispel them in various ways.

Cultivating oneself under the tree, as the sun and moon revolve.

With the fall of the Mother Tree Goddess, the Tree People race split into three.

Some of the tree people stayed in the tree person world, some went to the blue planet, and some went to the demon spirit world.

They took away many Trees of Life.

The heads of state of all the countries on Earth mobilized to give the Tree People, led by the Skybeard, the highest level of treatment.

The Sky's Mustache ultimately sacrificed a Tree of Life in exchange for the Tree People residing in the Rugo Mountain region.

Upon learning the news, the Supreme Court of the Dragon Kingdom couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

This is a Tree of Life that belongs entirely to humankind. Previous Trees of Life, even those planted in the Dragon Kingdom, belonged to elves or tree people and were merely in a cooperative relationship.

Rugoyama is nothing but a barren mountain, with nothing but Xiaoru Village and a park.

Therefore, the two parties signed a contract.

Xiaoru Village remains unchanged, but everything else belongs to the Tree Man.

Subsequently, both parties signed an ownership agreement.

This lineage of tree people submitted to the Dragon Kingdom and became part of the Dragon Kingdom's human race.

The agreement clearly states that the Tree People's ID cards must indicate that they are normal members of the Dragon Kingdom race, not some minority group, and opposes ethnic segregation. The Tree People would never be foolish enough to put both sides in a potential confrontation.

The news evoked a range of emotions across the country.

Some people think they are clever, but sometimes they are not as good as the tree man, who is known for his stubbornness and clumsiness.

The Supreme Court praised Shuren's noble character, and some commentators even said that Shuren's actions benefited the present and future generations.

As the news spread around the world, some people discovered that Zhou Leng was from Xiaoru Village.

Some people suspect that there might be a deeper relationship between Zhou Leng and Shuren.

Only those at the top knew that Zhou Leng, as the ancient crown of the Treeman race, had increased his combined value by another order of magnitude.

The Supreme Court has made a preliminary decision to grant Zhou Leng and Cang Qiong Zhi Xu the title of Vice President of the Consultative General Association.

Tree-people are natural healers. Humans had long been preparing elixirs with the Water of Life as the main ingredient, but they gave up because the total amount was insufficient.

Now, this plan that has impacted the elixir system can be restarted.

The fact that Shuren had submitted to the Dragon Kingdom caused a huge uproar internationally.

Some news began to spread.

It turns out that the Eagle Alliance, the Gull Alliance, the Elephant Kingdom, and other forces had already secretly contacted the Tree People, hoping that they would go to various countries, or at least send branches.

But I was met with a cold shoulder.

People from various countries were jealous and couldn't understand why the tree people and elves had all pledged allegiance to the Dragon Kingdom.

Some were particularly pleased, believing that the submission of various ethnic groups was a good thing for humanity.

Soon, another piece of news began to circulate in secret.

Zhao Cong fell into demonic possession and was killed by Li Shenkong.

On the Chinese internet, once this message appears, it will be deleted without a trace.

Even if people use various code names, there is a high chance that their accounts will be banned, or even completely blocked, making them unable to speak.

But it spread like wildfire on the internet.

Strangely, all content criticizing Zhao Cong was deleted and banned.

Those who praised Zhao Cong and the Zhao family spread the word widely.

People from all countries are confused: how did the US and the Zhao family become one family?

Or is it that both sides are one family, and the citizens of other countries are the outsiders?
Lianxiang Development Company is located underground.

While clutching his chest, the Light of Redemption watched a video of the Treant Battlefield.

He watched as Zhou Leng instantly killed the clone of the Sword of Innocence for the second time, then wielded the flaming greatsword, slaughtering all the demigod clones...

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

He hurriedly turned off the video and gasped for breath.

After a long while, he looked at his pale face in the mirror, then at his eyes.

His eyes were filled with despair.

He had prepared in advance when he ambushed Zhou Leng, so the moment Zhou Leng drew his flaming greatsword, he used a teleportation scroll.

Even a second later, no, even 0.5 seconds later, could mean death.

After he returned, he was filled with anxiety, but he managed to suppress the abnormality in his body by relying on his powerful martial arts skills.

Until they received news of Zhou Leng's slaughter of the demigod's avatar, and until they saw the clear footage.

He clutched his heart tightly with his right hand.

The same feeling returned to my body years later.

Zhou Leng Phobia.

He didn't want it to be this way, but he couldn't suppress his inner fear.

He even discovered that Zhou Leng had completely surpassed Zhao Dongjun, who was at the Grandmaster King level.

It surpasses any human martial saint of the same era, and even surpasses any legend in the history of the Ten Realms.

In the martial arts world, Zhou Leng will inevitably become the next Zhao Dongjun, or even surpass him.

"He wouldn't, he might be a potential god..."

After saying that, the Light of Redemption felt a sudden pain in his heart and slapped himself hard. He was sick, how could he say things that would worsen his condition?
He kept using his internal energy to suppress it, but it didn't work.

This is not a physical illness, but an illness of the martial will.

There is no cure.

After a long while, he felt his heart calm down a little, sighed, and slowly pushed open the door to go to the meeting.

Lady Xiyan has returned.

He took a few steps, and his disciple Shen Jun appeared.

"Teacher..." Shen Jun was shocked when he saw the expression on the face of the Light of Redemption. He rushed over, took the teacher's arm with both hands, and slowly walked forward.

The master and apprentice walked slowly, remaining silent for a long time. After a while, Shen Jun said, "I heard about Zhou Leng..."

The Light of Redemption felt a sharp pain in his heart, his face contorted, and his right arm instinctively pushed outward to push Shen Jun away, unleashing the power of a Grandmaster.

In an instant, the light of redemption hastily withdrew.

Turn around and look.

Boom boom boom...

Shen Jun crashed through three walls before collapsing in the ruins, barely alive.

"Shen Jun!"

The Light of Redemption rushed forward, placing his palm on Shen Jun's body and channeling his inner energy.

Shen Jun was only at the Innate level; how could he withstand a blow from a Grandmaster, even just the aftershock?

His bones were shattered, his left arm was broken, and there was a large hole in his side.

He stared at his master with weak eyes, racking his brains but still couldn't understand.

Why did my master want to kill me?

The light of redemption silently transmits vital energy.

The powerful Grandmaster's true energy soothed Shen Jun's bones and muscles, quickly stopping the bleeding.

but……

With half of his meridians severed, he could no longer cultivate.

"Alas..." The Light of Redemption let out a long sigh.

The disciple who wasn't injured in the battle between the two armies was crippled by his own illness.

Furukawa Research Institute.

A group of tree people arrived at the entrance and waited quietly.

A short while later, Xu Qingjin came out.

"Greetings, Matriarch!" The tree people bowed in unison.

Xu Qingjin was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide, not knowing where to put her hands or what to say.

"Elder Cangqiong Zhixu said that His Majesty Zhou Leng is busy with cultivation and has no time to take care of you, so he sent us to protect the Mistress."

“But…” Xu Qingjin looked ahead.

Twenty enormous tree-men stood in front.

Two are grandmasters, the rest are all innate level.

Li Yuanhe had also received the news in advance, so he welcomed the tree people and arranged for them to protect Xu Qingjin.

The next day, at the Elven settlement.

Upon receiving the news, Yin Hufeng cursed himself for being senile, wondering why he had to lose to a blockhead.

He immediately dispatched ten female elves to the Ancient River Research Institute to protect Xu Qingjin.

On that day, the disciples of the Ancient River Sect at the Ancient River Research Institute occasionally saw Xu Qingjin walking forward with a helpless expression.

Behind her, there are always at least two treants and two female elves.

Beneath the giant, frost-covered tree.

Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.

He slowly exhaled, and the white breath flew straight forward, only slowing down and dissipating after traveling a hundred meters.

The power that the calamity had left in his body was finally dispelled.

Upon careful sensing, it was discovered that not only had its cultivation level not improved in the past few days, but its body was also excessively fatigued due to the dissipation of its power, requiring a period of rest.

That was, after all, the power of a illusory god; I was still just a grandmaster.

However, in the process of fighting against the power of the illusory gods, his understanding of this power advanced by leaps and bounds.

The power of the illusory god is no longer purely "matter".

It possesses three properties: materiality, spirituality, and informationality.

Just like the power of the Heavenly Calamity, the force of the punch is material, the sense of oppression is spiritual, and the mysterious black mountain that was formed inexplicably has not only spirituality but also informationality.

Any enemy caused by divine calamity will inevitably be affected by his other forces, resulting in an attack that transcends logic in the spiritual world.

Like a divine oracle, those below the divine can change whatever they desire.

However, all of that is in the past.

Zhou Leng, with Da Huang, happily arrived at Mammoth Lake and went to sleep.

Big Yellow then took the mother tree's doghouse and they all took a nice bath together.

When I woke up, I looked up and saw Xiao Ba right next to me.

Zhou Leng took out a branch from the mother tree and gave it to Xiao Ba, who excitedly roared and shouted.

I got up and walked to the shore.

That tree of life grew strong and healthy.

Dig a large pit under the Tree of Life, and then bury the broken roots, trunk fragments, twigs and leaves of the mother tree in it.

It could easily fill a truck.

The leaves of the Tree of Life began to tremble, shaking incessantly like an old man who has suffered a stroke.

Zhou Leng then took out complete branches from the mother tree and tied them to various parts of the branches of the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life is still shaking.

Zhou chuckled and patted the trunk of the Tree of Life, took some of the Water of Life, gave some to Xiao Ba and Da Huang, and then walked back.

Little Eight stuck out its nose to block it, buzzing.

Big Yellow helped with the translation.

It turns out that the strongest of the eight-toothed mammoths is preparing to advance to demigod status.

They had been waiting for Zhou Leng to hold the investiture ceremony together.

Zhou Leng had heard of this ceremony; it was extremely important, and he needed to participate if he wanted to continue to obtain the power of the ferocious beasts.

So, following Xiao Ba and Da Huang, and taking Yin Hu Yue along the way, they headed to Mammoth Mountain.

Upon arriving at Mammoth Mountain, Zhou Leng casually gave a branch from the mother tree to Yin Huyue.

Yin Huyue stood there for a long time, then knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, clinging to Zhou Leng's leg and refusing to let go.

Zhou Leng comforted her for a long time before Yin Huyue slowly stopped sobbing, but she was still sobbing.

Only after asking did I learn that most of the elves had been driven away by the Mother Tree because they had betrayed it.

Zhou Leng presented a fresh branch from the Mother Tree, indicating that the Mother Tree had forgiven the Elf race. With the branch in her hand, Yin Hu Yue naturally became the highest saintess of the Elf race.
