Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 372 The Naughty Child Who Was Less Beaten

Jiuyou time and space, Tree Island.

Only when Yang Wu walked into the inner circle did he realize that this World Tree was truly huge.

The strongest world tree is ridiculously large. It is a special tree-like life form that ranks first in volume in the universe. The trunk alone is 1200 million kilometers thick, and the height is 5.9 million kilometers. The crown is over billion kilometers in diameter.

The three immortal-level world trees surrounding the strongest world tree are only slightly smaller than the strongest world tree of the Venerable level, and are 1.2 million kilometers high.

The five youngest world trees at the realm master level have trunks that are over 6000 kilometers in diameter and million kilometers in height, with no end in sight.

Yang Wu, who is over a thousand kilometers tall, is just like a small ant in front of them.

Coming in front of the strongest world tree, Yang Wu looked up at the huge branches, which were so abnormal that they reached a height that broke through the sky.

The branches and leaves of the World Tree are what he must get. Such a strong and huge body makes him feel an extremely strong desire in his heart.

While thinking in his mind, Yang Wu bowed to the strongest world tree again and said, "Greetings, Lord Tree!"

"I've heard of you, King Qingli, the inheritor invited by the Ancestral God himself." The voice of the Strongest World Tree was extremely gentle.

"Thank you for your kind words, Venerable Shu!" Yang Wu replied humbly.

"No, I'm serious!" said the strongest world tree very seriously.

The news about Yang Wu had long been spread to their "circle". After all, over the endless years, all those who were personally invited by the Ancestral God were the top powerful people in the universe.

King Qingli is the only triple inheritor who is below the Universe Venerable and has just entered the Ancestral God Mysterious Realm.

"Tell me why you're here."

The World Tree is kind by nature, and the number of lives that actually die at its hands is actually not that many.

As the only world tree born in the universe at that time, it followed the Lord of Jiuyou into the Ancestral God Secret Realm after it was opened up.

Then he has been staying at home until now, and those who died in his hands were all inheritors who came to snatch the branches of the World Tree. After all, being kind by nature does not mean that he will not kill people.

Just don't kill indiscriminately!

As long as you don't provoke it, it will not fight with other lives.

The Strongest World Tree's directness at the beginning surprised Yang Wu, who was used to expressing himself in a tactful way. He thought about it and was about to change his way of expression, but he didn't expect that the Strongest World Tree would speak first.

"Why, it's difficult?"

The strongest world tree said with a hint of smile in his tone, "If you have come all this way just to chat with me, then please forgive me for not having the time to receive you!"

God is so busy!!!
Yang Wu secretly complained to himself, how lonely you are, don’t you know it?

If they weren't lonely, who would deliberately give birth to the other eight world trees at the cost of reducing their own potential?

Few people in the original universe know the father-son relationship between the strongest world tree and the eight world trees under his command.

Just like a big tree growing in the soil, as time goes by, some small saplings will grow around it.

This is the instinct of trees!
The strongest world tree is a unique existence in the universe. As a tree, it can also make saplings grow around it, all depending on its will.

You must know that as long as it branches out a little, it can turn into a powerful tree of life. As the strongest tree in the world full of endless vitality, its source of life is extremely powerful.

Because of loneliness, he wanted to cultivate the seedlings well, so at the cost of reducing his own potential, he used part of the essence of the source of life to breed other species of world trees.

The strongest world tree would rather reduce its own potential and carefully cultivate eight saplings...

So in essence, it is like a father caring for eight children, and tree life by nature does not like to move, so it has been here for infinite years.

The relationship between it and its eight children is closer than the relationship between father and son among many other races in the universe.

"Tree Venerable, I would like to ask for a branch to stabilize the kingdom of God." Now that things have come to this, Yang Wu directly stated his purpose.

The strongest world tree said in a deep voice: "If you want my branches, it's easy."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu was delighted. He was not afraid of you speaking, but was afraid of you not speaking.

"I need a favor from you!"

"Favor? So simple?" Yang Wu was stunned, looking at the huge trunk of the tree in front of him, and asked uncertainly.

Although it is difficult to repay a debt of favor, it depends on who owes the debt and at what stage of their ability.
At this time, Yang Wu was just a realm master. A realm master was burdened with the favor of the master of the universe. This favor was obviously very unstable because it could become ineffective at any time.

future……

We can have a rough idea of ​​what's going on, but no one can be sure.

Who can guarantee that a realm master can become the master of the universe smoothly and who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the process?
If even the slightest accident happens, this favor will be as useless as paper.

like water off a duck's back.

From this point of view, it is actually extremely disadvantageous to the strongest world tree.

Of course, for Yang Wu, exchanging a future favor for huge current benefits is a great opportunity that everyone knows how to choose.

Is it difficult to repay a favor?
It’s hard to repay a debt of favor!

Once a favor is owed, if someone makes a request, as long as the request itself does not affect one's own interests too much, one will generally agree to find a way to repay the favor.

This is credibility from a strong person.

For example, in the original novel, when the Xuzhen Demon God attacked Luo Feng, the price of nine top-level treasures was enough to make the strongest person in the universe put aside his pride and attack a junior of the Universe Venerable.

Among them, it is possible to confront the entire human race, the founder of a giant axe, or even anger the entire ancestral god religion.

Is the price enough?

This price is simply not enough.

The Demon God Xuzhen agreed to take on the task with the Mechanical Father God. The top treasures of the Nine Realms were just decorations, and in the end, human relationships played a decisive role.

"Correct."

"It's that simple!"

The Strongest World Tree said this with a very firm tone, and then, as if seeing the concerns in Yang Wu's heart, the Strongest World Tree said again: "Don't worry, this future favor will definitely not embarrass you, nor will it harm your own interests."

Genius has capital.

There is also competition within the Zushen Sect. Among the eight beast gods, the reserve beast gods, the peripheral gods, etc., who doesn't like to have more talented and powerful people under his command?
Especially the eight beast gods, each of them is extremely lazy. They leave all the affairs to their subordinates, while they either sleep or relax.

And want to achieve this.

If the strong men under their command were not strong enough, how could they live so comfortably.

Pay now and invest in the future!
The strongest world tree deeply understands this point. A genius that even the ancestral gods are optimistic about must not be too bad. This is a foreseeable future.

All it does is to develop its own network of contacts. A piece of branch and leaf is just a drizzle to it. Why not use it to develop its network of contacts?
"Wait, who do you think you are, foreigner? Why do you think that a favor from you can earn my father a branch?"

Just as Yang Wu was about to nod in agreement, a cold voice from a young world master-level world tree on the periphery came from among the countless emerald branches and leaves.

It just saw from its father's attitude that this guy was highly valued by his father.

but.

No matter how powerful this guy is, he can't be more powerful than this special life.

And once they, the World Tree, are lucky enough to reach that stage, no one in the entire universe will be their opponent. Their divine bodies will be so huge that even the strongest person in the universe may be beaten to vomit.

"This naughty kid hasn't been beaten enough!"

Yang Wu secretly complained that it seemed that the training arranged by the strongest world tree had no effect at all!

"Xiao Qi, you are a guest!"

The gentle voice of the strongest world tree sounded, trying to appease the realm master-level world tree.

"Humph, foreigner, stop talking nonsense and fight me if you can."

Seeing his father defending outsiders, Xiao Qi was very unhappy and seemed to mutter something with a pout.

"it is good!"

Yang Wu immediately agreed and couldn't help but feel secretly excited.

God helps me too!

Asking for branches and leaves from the strongest world tree is just a superficial pretext. His ultimate goal is actually the branches and leaves of the world master-level world tree.

How could there be any genetic material in the branches and leaves of the world above immortality?
Now that this rebellious Realm Lord-level World Tree has taken the initiative to offer it, it actually saves him a lot of excuses. If he can get a few leaves away during the battle, half of his goal this time will be achieved.

"Hmm?" "Hahaha, okay, okay, I was wrong about you, you are still very courageous."

Countless branches and leaves on the crown of the world tree of the realm master level were dancing excitedly.

"Qiqi, don't underestimate the enemy!"

The other world trees let out bursts of laughter, some old, some crisp, and some playful.

The strongest world tree did not speak. It also wanted to take this opportunity to see Yang Wu's specific combat power, and also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Xiao Qi a lesson.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Anyway, within the time and space it controls, no matter how fiercely the two sides fight, there will be no accidents.

……

In the void outside the Nine Netherworld Space and Time.

Whoosh!
A divine figure over 10 kilometers long suddenly appeared in this void.

"It's the Nine Netherworld Spacetime."

"That guy should have entered the Nine Netherworld Spacetime!"

This is a powerful alien with a huge snake tail, a human upper body, thick arms covered with scales, and three faces on its head.

His head was in the shape of a triangular prism, with three faces on each. Anyone looking at him could feel the ugliness and evil in those three faces.

The evil aura emanating from his body invisibly aroused the fear in my heart.

Lord of the Universe!
The fluctuations emanating from the space and the terrifying aura of laws emanating from his body all indicated the identity of the visitor: a powerful cosmic master.

“Hahahahaha…”

"King Qingli, you are mine!"

This unknown alien venerable suddenly disappeared the next moment and escaped into the Nine Netherworld space and time.

……

Jiuyou time and space, Tree Island.

"Whoo~"

"Chi~"

A flash of lightning burst out from the green barrier, and thunder exploded above the sky.
The countless branches and leaves around were originally swaying in the wind, but now all the emerald leaves rushed towards the lightning in the sky, and the extremely surging power completely entangled the lightning.

above the sky.

Yang Wu looked at the entwined branches and leaves, and a serious look appeared on his face.

Although this young world tree is only at the realm master level, it is really difficult to deal with. Not to mention its terrifying size, its means of controlling time and space and the accompanying binding ability are really difficult to deal with.

The life gene level of the world tree at the realm master level is a thousand times that of humans. With the guidance of the strongest world tree with the combat power of the Lord of the Universe, it knows how to amplify its body by dozens of times.

It is tens of thousands of times the power of the Realm Lord, combined with some natural attack methods, it is definitely the ultimate level of becoming a king.

but……

"fry……"

With Yang Wu's light shout, the trapped lightning exploded instantly.

"Rumble..."

A ball of purple lightning was born instantly, and an extremely terrifying energy burst out, instantly impacting the surrounding space. The space was directly shattered and broke into countless fragments, leading to a space interlayer.

The energy released by the impact immediately stirred up the countless space fragments in the space layer, and once again transformed them into the most basic particle flow.

The power generated by this explosion instantly wreaked havoc within a radius of 300,000 kilometers, and directly turned into nothingness within a radius of 10,000 kilometers. Some branch debris was left in the distance, and some leaf debris was left in the distance.

The damage within a range of 300,000 kilometers was nothing compared to the Realm Lord-level World Tree with a crown diameter of more than 100 million kilometers. However, the branches and leaves that controlled time and space lost contact and scattered in all directions at the moment of the explosion.

A large number of branches at a long distance were broken and blown away by the strong shock wave, and countless broken leaves flew in all directions like arrows under the shock wave. For a moment, branches and leaves flew in all directions all over the sky.

Yang Wu also took this opportunity to collect a few leaves of the World Tree.

It's okay to collect two or three pieces as trophies, but if you collect too many of these things, you really can't see the most powerful world tree that controls time and space above!

As for the fact that the Realm Lord-level World Tree did not notice that one of its branches and leaves had disappeared, this was not surprising. There was an essential difference between the Realm Lord level and the Immortal level.

Once one enters immortality, each leaf will be infused with the soul's life imprint, and naturally can be clearly sensed. However, the world tree of the realm master retains certain plant characteristics, and a leaf does not have a trace of life imprint, so it cannot be sensed at all.

"You...you're playing tricks!"

The crown of the Realm Lord-level World Tree was shaking, and he roared in anger and dissatisfaction.

Whose kids start fighting by throwing firecrackers?

"Xiao Qi, a true life-and-death battle doesn't follow any rules. If King Qingli hadn't shown mercy just now, you would have been seriously injured."

The gentle voice of the strongest world tree resounded throughout the territory occupied by the world tree.

The large amount of emerald green branches and leaves that had been blown away actually flew back towards the crown of the Realm Master-level World Tree, and leaves merged into the crown one by one. The blast damage with a diameter of 300,000 kilometers...

It recovered quickly under the surging life energy. Within just a short period of time, the injuries of the Realm Lord-level World Tree were completely healed.

All the branches and leaves of the trees have grown back, and there is no sign of any previous damage, and there is not a single fallen leaf on the ground.

"But……"

"You must work hard in the future. If you become immortal like your elder brother, you will be able to defeat King Qingli."

The gentle voice of the strongest world tree continued, and by the way, found a goal for this world tree, although it is very likely that it will never be achieved.

But at least there is a goal, right?

This time I was whipped.

I should be able to make a lot of progress!

"Humph."

Xiao Qi snorted. It knew that it had lost, but it felt very frustrated in this battle and just wanted to vent its dissatisfaction.

This battle is just a competition.

Both sides stopped talking.

Even though Yang Wu only broke the World Tree's control over time and space, the World Tree still couldn't force out all of Yang Wu's methods, not even his precious weapons.

The principle behind Yang Wu's self-destructive lightning attack is actually similar to that of the Fire God Source Crystal, which produces an explosive effect through extreme energy compression.

This effect is exactly the application of the secret method of Thunder and Light attack.

The World Tree was defeated!
Failed due to lack of experience!
...

After obtaining the branch of the strongest world tree, Yang Wu left the Tree Island with a feeling of great harvest.

It can be said that half of the purpose of coming to the Jiuyou Space-Time has been completed. As for the other half, it is the Jiuyou sea water.

The Lord of Jiuyou has two major talents.

Creation and transformation of the sea.

The greatest asset of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is also his trump card that allows him to roam the primordial universe and fear no one.

A master of the universe who is not afraid of death is naturally extremely terrifying. When the Lord of the Nine Netherworld fights with the enemy, he often uses a method that others cannot solve.

Blow up!

This kind of rogue and unsolvable method may not kill you once, but what about the second or third time?

Or maybe hundreds or thousands of times.

This method is extremely shameless, but it is very effective in the original universe. With the extremely vast Nine Nether Sea to restore the divine body, the divine power of the Lord of the Nine Nether is like free of charge.

No one can beat him in a war of attrition, unless he is the strongest person in the universe.
