World Tree

The Ancestral God Secret Realm, vast and boundless. In one corner of the void, a beautiful fountain appeared out of nowhere, its waters continuously spraying and cycling. A figure emerged from the fountain—it was the Demon Killer Clan clone. The Demon Killer Clan clone looked around. Apart from the fountain suspended in the void, there were no guards whatsoever. He couldn't help but murmur, “The Ancestral God Sect is truly confident, leaving the teleportation channel here like this, without any worry of someone destroying it. That's right, the Ancestral God Secret Realm is the territory of the Ancestral God Sect.” “Transform.” His body instantly switched. The Earthling true body emerged, while the Demon Killer Clan clone entered the World Ring. After all, in terms of strength, the Earthling true body was much stronger, especially having just mastered the third chapter, it could now unleash the second form of the God-Slaying Wings, possessing even stronger life-saving abilities. “Detectors.” Luo Feng activated the miniature and large detectors. The most fundamental purpose for which the detectors were originally designed was to explore cosmic secret realms, not for the outer battlefield. The large detector was used for rapid travel within cosmic secret realms, to detect celestial bodies at a distance, allowing one to avoid them early. Regardless of whether there was danger, choosing to advance directly through the void was the safest approach. The miniature detector was used for cautious exploration when venturing into dangerous areas. Whoosh! Luo Feng transformed into a streak of light and shot through the void. Occasionally, when he found the path ahead to be safe, he would even use teleportation to accelerate his progress. ... Carefully avoiding one danger after another, the natural formations within the Ancestral God Secret Realm were truly bizarre and varied. Some massive celestial bodies were very strange, unlike in normal cosmic space where celestial bodies are mostly spherical, such as planets, stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and even black holes. But in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, irregular celestial bodies might appear, or a massive landmass might simply exist, or a colossal lake might float in the void, with islands perhaps dotting its surface. Occasionally, undulating mountain ranges would drift through the void, with waterfalls cascading down their slopes. Seemingly beautiful and wondrous, yet dangers lurked beneath. For instance, a waterfall Luo Feng passed by: even a Universe Venerable, if drenched by it, would instantly freeze solid, their life imprint completely collapsing from the cold, leading to immediate death. And the water from this waterfall... was also an extremely precious material, named 'Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water.' If one used a treasure like 'Purple Bell' or a vessel crafted from extremely high-grade metal to collect some of this Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water, they would strike it rich. Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water could be cleverly used in battles between powerful beings, possessing infinite might. Unfortunately— beneath the impact of the waterfall formed by the Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water, a terrifying special lifeform, the 'Cold Whale,' lived in the massive cold pool below. The Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water appeared in different colors from different angles, totaling nine colors. Not long after the universe's birth, a powerful being once discovered this nine-colored water during an exploration, finding it beautiful and wondrous, and wanted to take some. But before even touching the Cold Whale Nine-Colored Water, they were attacked by the terrifying entity 'Cold Whale' in the pool and died on the spot. In the information Luo Feng collected, there was only a simple description of the Cold Whale: Only a Universe Master could contend with it. ... The inheritors were directly teleported to the deepest part of the Ancestral God Secret Realm, which was considered a low-danger area. After all, this was specifically for the Ancestral God Sect to temper its inheritors. Of course, any place with cosmic treasures would generally have dangers. On the ninth day of his journey. In the void beyond the edge of a massive mountain range stretching for thousands of light-years in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, a streak of light suddenly halted. “I haven't slacked off for nine days, time to rest.” Luo Feng stood in the void, looking around, especially turning to gaze at the vast, continuous mountain range. “The celestial bodies in the Ancestral God Secret Realm are truly bizarre. This mountain range alone stretches for over 6,000 light-years, and within it are extremely dangerous areas; my data alone records 201 such locations.” This mountain range, throughout history, had long been explored by many inheritors, but it was simply too dangerous, so only a small portion of its areas were recorded. “At my current speed, combining teleportation and flight, it will probably take another 32 days to reach my destination, to see that World Tree.” A hint of anticipation gleamed in Luo Feng's eyes. World Tree! His planned third clone! Luo Feng held an extremely high status and authority within the human race, and had collected a great deal of information about special lifeforms. He then meticulously investigated the numerous special lifeforms within the Ancestral God Secret Realm. Luo Feng had to admit—the Ancestral God Secret Realm was arguably the most wondrous place in the universe, possessing the greatest number of special lifeforms. Many powerful and mysterious special lifeforms resided in the Ancestral God Secret Realm, such as the Cold Whale, Tuoshan Zhen, World Tree... Each of them was a special lifeform possessing the combat power of a Universe Master. After Luo Feng's continuous screening and research, he finally decided on the 'World Tree' for his third clone. Although there were other options more beneficial to him than the World Tree, unfortunately, it had to be a 'Sector Lord-level' special lifeform. Limited to the 'Sector Lord-level' category, Luo Feng thus settled on the World Tree. There were a total of nine World Trees in the entire universe. One of these World Trees was at the Universe Venerable level. This was the strongest World Tree; its main trunk alone was 12 million kilometers thick, and its height reached 590 million kilometers. Its canopy was so vast, its diameter exceeded a billion kilometers. This was an absurdly large tree—the number one tree-type special lifeform in the universe by volume. There were also three World Trees at the Undying level, only slightly smaller than the Universe Venerable-level World Tree, with a height of 120 million kilometers. The last five World Trees were at the Sector Lord level, slightly smaller than the Undying-level World Trees, with a height of 60 million kilometers. The reason for choosing the 'World Tree' as his target for the third clone was its innate ability. The World Tree's innate ability was 'control over space-time.' Within a certain range around it, space and time were completely controlled. Although far inferior to a 'Universe Master's' ability to completely control a region of space-time, as the World Tree itself continuously grew stronger, its ability to control space-time also continuously increased. It is said that the strongest World Tree, at the Universe Venerable level, possessed space-time control capabilities no less than a Universe Master. As for Undying-level and Sector Lord-level World Trees, they were naturally much weaker. But if fighting against opponents of the same level, it would be a complete crushing. After all, in terms of life gene level alone, World Trees were thousands of times that of humans! Moreover, their enormous size... also meant their divine bodies were incredibly powerful and formidable. The sheer amount of divine power stored within them was astonishing. Even if they burned their divine bodies for a war of attrition, how many would dare to outlast a World Tree? 'Control over space-time' and 'enormous size' were merely two advantages. There was also a third major advantage! That was the World Tree's ability to strengthen and stabilize a God Kingdom. Luo Feng's data did not show anyone possessing a 'World Tree clone,' but it did record that the Ancestral God Sect's 'Mantuo Divine General' once obtained a branch from the strongest World Tree. The Mantuo Divine General planted that branch in his own God Kingdom, and the branch grew into a colossal divine tree. This divine tree formed from a 'World Tree branch' was called—the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life stabilized the God Kingdom. The more stable the God Kingdom, the stronger the suppression and restraint of the God Kingdom would be, tenfold or even a hundredfold, once an enemy intruded. The Mantuo Divine General... relied on this tactic, directly drawing enemies into his God Kingdom and killing many of them. This news had long since spread. Logically, when a deity is in their God Kingdom, relying on the God Kingdom to suppress and restrain enemies, and the God Kingdom's boost to themselves, their strength would generally only increase severalfold. But with the Tree of Life planted in the God Kingdom, it caused the God Kingdom's boost to oneself and its suppression of enemies to combine and make one's strength seemingly leap a hundredfold. “That Tree of Life is truly wondrous.” “The World Tree must be even more wondrous, and would surely make a God Kingdom stronger and more stable,” Luo Feng thought to himself. World Tree. Control over space-time, enormous size containing vast divine power, and stabilizing God Kingdoms. How could Luo Feng not covet it? “Moreover, the World Tree has immense advantages in terms of space and time. Although I walk the path of the Beast God, when the path of the Beast God reaches its end, and I become a Beast God, I might still need some breakthroughs in space-time. What's more—it's hard to say if the path of the Beast God can even be fully traversed. With the World Tree, I will also have the opportunity to pursue 'space-time' in the future.” Walking the grand path of time and space and becoming a Universe Master, that is the mainstream. ... In the void at the edge of that vast, continuous mountain range, Luo Feng pondered silently. Although his target was the World Tree, Luo Feng also had concerns, because intelligence had never mentioned anyone making a World Tree into a clone. Of course, it was also possible that powerful beings with World Tree clones had kept this trump card hidden and not revealed it. “My teacher, Chaos City Lord, once said that the gestation within my inner world has limits. For unique, heaven-defying lifeforms in the universe, my inner world might not be able to gestate them at all,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “The World Tree I'm choosing, the Sector Lord-level World Tree, should be the weakest one.” If a species' genes haven't broken through, then its body size reaches its limit at the peak of the Sector Lord stage. For example, the Golden Horned Beast is thousands of kilometers long; then at the Undying, Universe Venerable, and Universe Master stages, it remains thousands of kilometers long. Only if the life gene level increases is there a possibility of mutation, and even then, it's just a possibility. For instance, Luo Feng's body size hasn't changed since he cultivated the “Nine Tribulations Secret Manual”; the Earthling true body's height is still less than two meters, and hasn't explosively grown to hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, or tens of kilometers. However, the nine World Trees clearly differed in height and volume. Obviously, the strongest World Tree was the one with the highest life level, rumored to be thousands of times that of human genes, belonging to the top-tier special lifeforms in the universe. The three Undying-level World Trees were slightly inferior. The five Sector Lord-level World Trees were even more so. “No matter how inferior it is, it must be better than a mere branch from the strongest World Tree. What forms from a branch is a Tree of Life, not even a World Tree,” Luo Feng thought to himself. “I wonder if my inner world can gestate that Sector Lord-level World Tree.” “Hmm, it should be possible.” Luo Feng felt uneasy, yet also intensely yearned for it. This was the third clone he most desired after reviewing countless pieces of information. The innate talent to control space-time! A colossal trunk body 60 million kilometers tall—how immense must the divine power contained within be! The God Kingdom is the very foundation of a deity! With these three major advantages, how could Luo Feng not covet it?
