The God of Heavens

Chapter 426 You're dead, you're dead, you know that?! Kneel down and become our lackey to conquer the world!

Having obtained the Nine Yang Holy Water, Lin Yu inquired about the wood-attribute natural treasures.

Hai Shan didn't think much of it. Anyway, they were running a business in Wan Gui Hai City, and they didn't care what sect others belonged to, including both immortals and demons.

"Since you are looking for wood-attribute natural treasures, I have quite a few here. It's up to you to choose."

Having said that, Hai Shan led Lin Yu into the depths of the storeroom. There, they saw a dazzling array of precious items on display, including sandalwood roots, nine-leaf resurrection herbs, jade-leaf mushrooms, and emerald cloud bodhi seeds.

In the corner, there was a palm-sized, ginseng-shaped piece of purplish-black wood with twisted and peculiar grain.

Lin Yu glanced around, naturally eliminating the first few, and finally settled on the strange piece of wood: "These are indeed all good. But Fellow Daoist Haishan, what is the origin of this last item?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Hai Shan's face, then he smiled and said, "This is a piece of divine wood that I obtained by chance at sea many years ago. It cannot be burned by fire, soaked by water, or damaged by flying swords. It is truly a rare treasure of the world."

Lin Yu knew that this object was most likely a fragment of the World Tree, but he pretended to be dissatisfied: "So, even you, fellow Daoist, don't know its true origin?"

"As the saying goes, divine things are hidden in their own time, waiting for a destined person to recognize them." Hai Shan vigorously promoted it.

"Since you require rare wood-type treasures, why not bring them back and give them a try? Perhaps this treasure was created just for you. With just twenty spiritual artifacts, this divine wood will belong to you."

Seeing Hai Shan so enthusiastically promoting this "waste wood," Lin Yu almost burst out laughing.

In order to clear out their "junk," the other party even boasted that it was sacred wood—

Little did they know that it was truly a supreme divine tree!
The World Tree, fragments of Jianmu wood, contain life within!

Lin Yu reached out and picked up the wooden block, only to find it heavy in his hand; the small piece weighed several thousand kilograms.

When magical power was probed, it was like a stone sinking into the sea; it could not be refined in the slightest, nor could a trace of wood energy be extracted.

Its texture is extremely refined; it is undoubtedly a fragment of the World Tree!

He suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Ten spirit weapon flying swords. If you don't want to exchange them, then forget it."

Hai Shan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sheathed his flying sword, pretending to be in pain: "Alas, I feel an instant connection with you, fellow Daoist. I will give you this wood at a loss, and let's form a good karmic bond."

"hehe."

At this moment, Lin Yu secretly laughed at the other party for not recognizing a treasure; while Hai Shan was probably also laughing at this fool who actually traded ten spiritual weapons for a piece of waste wood.

Both were satisfied, each believing they had succeeded in their plan.

……

After leaving Wan Gui Hai Shi, Lin Yu chose the direction of Gui Xu and transformed into a rainbow to depart.

Before long, they flew away from the port and arrived on the vast blue waves and boundless ocean. This mirage continent also receded into the distance and finally disappeared on the horizon.

"Why would a true disciple of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect suddenly want to buy wood-attribute rare and precious materials? Aren't they primarily focused on blood?"

Just then, in a secret place in the Xuan Gui Pavilion, Hai Shan looked at a mirror, which showed the scene of Lin Yu leaving above the mirage.

"Senior brother, that true disciple of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect actually brought so many spiritual artifacts to trade. He must have reaped a considerable reward for killing those three bandits. Why don't we..."

Beside Hai Shan, an inner disciple from Wan Gui Immortal Island looked over with a fierce expression on his face.

"Hehe, no need." Hai Shan rubbed his fingers together, a calculating glint in his eyes. "Hasn't the Taiyi Sect been searching for the whereabouts of these three notorious thieves recently?"

Now that the Blood Shadow Demon Sect has beaten them to it, they must be furious. Go and tell the disciples of the Taiyi Sect about this; this news... will probably earn you some rewards.”

He paused, then said with a playful tone, "I'd also like to see what happens when the true disciples of the Taiyi Sect and the Blood Shadow Demon Sect clash..."

On the vast ocean, Xuanlong controlled the Five Prisons King Cauldron to travel through the air. Inside the cauldron, Lin Yu was intently examining the divine wood in his hand.

"The fragment of the World Tree, we've finally got it..."

He examined the strange wood again, and even when he tried to penetrate it with the Myriad Transformations True Qi, he could not get in even a little bit, which showed that it was extraordinary.

The World Tree!

In the distant past, at the center of the vast and mysterious world, stood a divine tree called Jianmu, also known as the World Tree.

This tree connects to the celestial realm, continuously drawing upon its vital energy, and can also neutralize all kinds of attacks from the outside world.

Most importantly, the World Tree can transform the power of the gods into pure primordial energy that cultivators can absorb.

The power of the gods is a deadly poison to all races, and the gods are the common enemy of all the heavens and the myriad realms.

The Heavenly Demon Clan was originally a weapon created by the ancient gods to destroy the heavens. Although they later rebelled and became their own, their origins lie in this clan.

The divine realm, eyeing all the heavens, has repeatedly invaded the realms of immortals, demons, and Buddhas, as well as the Xuanhuang Great World.

However, with the World Tree guarding Xuanhuang, any invasions by the gods became provisions, ultimately bringing blessings to all living beings.

The power of the gods and the water of divine tribulation, once transformed by the World Tree, become the most mysterious and wondrous primordial energy in the world, which can help people cultivate.

For this reason, the creator of the gods—the progenitor Saint King—was willing to suffer severe injuries in order to cut down this tree.

As long as the World Tree exists, it will be the eternal nemesis of the gods.

Eternal time ago, a great war between Immortal Kings broke out, the World Tree collapsed, and its fragments scattered throughout the heavens.

What Lin Yu held in his hand was one of the fragments.

He knew perfectly well that only by mastering the Five Emperors' Great Demonic Powers and using the supreme Dao of "Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Technique" could the fragments of the World Tree be revived.

At that time, he will be able to steal the primordial energy of the immortal realm from the sapling of the World Tree, and even kill the gods and convert the divine fruits.

Everything hinges on this tree.

The next step is to acquire one of the three thousand Great Daos—the Great Five Elements Technique.

This matter is somewhat difficult and requires careful consideration.

"The Great Five Elements Technique, the Five Emperors' Great Demonic Powers..."

Lin Yu murmured and pondered.

The first way to obtain this method is by acquiring the Yellow Springs Map and obtaining it from its spirit, "Yan." However, this path is fraught with great danger, because the Yellow Springs Map is actually a gift from Bai Haichan, the incarnation of the Creation Immortal King, specifically given to Fang Han as an opportunity for his rise to power.

If he interferes, unforeseen consequences may occur.

Secondly, he clearly remembered that an ancient giant demon, the Crimson Abyss Demon Lord, was suppressed in the Five Elements Land, and he also knew the Great Five Elements Technique.

However, obtaining the Great Five Elements Technique from this demon is not easy either.

"The World Tree has been acquired; the next step... still requires careful planning."

Lin Yu took out a container filled with the Nine Yang Holy Water. The nine-colored immortal light was dazzling, like water and fire. The space inside was very large, definitely more than just a bowl.

He threw the fragments of the World Tree into it, washing them back and forth to cleanse it of the filth and impurities that had accumulated over the years.

"Nine Yang Holy Water" is a holy water refined by a master from the Longevity Secret Realm using immense magical power to absorb pure Yang spiritual energy from the immortal realm.

It can dispel all filth, femininity, demonic nature, and evil spirits, and naturally it can also cleanse the turbidity of the mortal world.

The fragments of the World Tree, soaked in the Nine Yang Holy Water, were rapidly absorbed by the pure Yang energy.

On those fragments, a faint glimmer of life was indeed revealed, and a profound sense of renewal, like withered trees coming back to life, slowly emanated from them.

On the surface of a palm-sized piece of wood, a tiny green bud quietly rises, as if about to break through the wood.

Though the tender bud was small, it instantly stirred up a powerful burst of wood energy, which erupted fiercely and surged like a tidal wave.

In an instant, he seemed to be in an endless green sea, where only towering trees could be seen between heaven and earth, and the world was like a single tree!
"Very good! The fragments have regained their vitality. They only need to be continuously nourished with the Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Technique to gradually unleash their potential and eventually become saplings."

At that time, I will be able to absorb the immortal energy from the void and merge it with my magical power, and my cultivation will surely experience an unprecedented surge!

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey! You brat, stop right now! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the ocean.

"Master, someone is blocking the road!" Xuanlong reported.

"What kind of bastard dares to block my way? So arrogant, he's insane! Ignore him, just shake him off!"

Lin Yu frowned, glancing up to see five men in black chasing after him from the left rear. Their tone was arrogant and they seemed to think no one was above them, so he immediately ignored them.

If they spoke politely, he might be interested in listening. But their arrogance was insane. Lin Yu was genuinely afraid of catching their bad habits.

"Yes, sir!"

Xuanlong responded immediately, pouring his magical power into the Wang Ding and activating the "Void-Shifting Array" within it.

The giant cauldron trembled violently, its speed increased dramatically, and it sped through the waves!
"Aaaaah! Damn it! Damn it! You dared to run away! When we catch you, we'll make you suffer! You can't even imagine how painful it will be!"

The man in black was furious when he saw that Wang Ding not only didn't stop but started to speed up.

"Fine, fine, I didn't want to bother with you lunatics, but you're really pushing your luck!"

Lin Yu's gaze turned cold. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!
Then he clapped his hands!
Wang Ding changed direction, and a powerful surge of magical energy rushed into it, causing Wang Ding's speed to increase dramatically!
Thirty-six acceleration arrays, including "Void Shifting Array," "Gale Demon Wave Array," "Seven Escapes Mystic Heaven Array," and "Flying Illusion Array"...

All sorts of array patterns lit up, and the cauldron roared!

Chi! Chi!
Wang Ding rubbed against the atmosphere at high speed, bursting out with intense flames, and the fiery tail behind it stretched for dozens of feet.

The scorching airflow and the explosive force melted the ancient glacier below!
"I'll kill you!"

Before the men in black in the distance could react, a huge fireball, trailing a towering tail of flames, hurtled straight toward them, causing them to scatter and flee in terror!
But it was already too late.

The two men in black, unable to dodge in time, were struck head-on by Wang Ding.

Boom!

Two loud explosions rang out, and their bodies were instantly shattered, then vaporized by the terrifying friction and flames, leaving not a trace behind!

"Long live the lord! Kill these bastards, let's see if they dare to be arrogant again!"

Xuanlong also suddenly stood up, and was overjoyed to see Lin Yu kill the enemy.

He had previously infused it with his magic, so he deserves some credit for that.

"Let's go down and take a look. We don't know if it was a person or a ghost that was hit and killed."

Lin Yu said, withdrawing his magic power, and the great formation of the King Cauldron stopped operating and began to brake.

On the other side, several men in black were also roaring inwardly.

"Damn it, this Five Hells King Cauldron originally belonged to the Five Hells Heavenly Demon King. It has been missing for many years and has actually fallen into the hands of this kid, who even managed to kill two warriors!"

"Two warriors were killed in the accident. If we go back, we won't be able to explain it to the God. This time, we have no choice but to break the seal and kill this person."

There were three remaining mysterious men in black. They exchanged glances, and black shackles appeared on their bodies, then broke off one by one.

At this moment, Lin Yu also came to them, smiling and saying, "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I couldn't stop in time."

But this is also your fault; you were so blind to block my way. You should be more careful in your next life.

"Bastard! How dare you kill our men! You're dead! You're dead, you know that?!"

"Hand over the Five Prison King Cauldrons, and we might spare your life, take you back, and make you our loyal servant. Become our henchman in our conquest of heaven and earth. Otherwise, don't blame us for killing you!"

The shackles on the mysterious man in black broke, and his entire body changed as a result, with what appeared to be bone armor growing on his skin!

It resembles a demon, yet it possesses no demonic aura whatsoever. Instead, it exudes an aura of nobility and holiness, as if it were a superior race that rules over all kinds of humans, demons, immortals, and monsters.

"Gods!"

Seeing their change, Lin Yu was first taken aback, then his eyes shone brightly!
