Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"If that batch of resources is any less, I will slaughter your entire island."

"Let me talk to them..."

The black-clad sorcerer's face was solemn, his voice hoarse and weary. He understood that his opponent possessed this ability; even the strongest king had fallen in an instant, let alone them, the guards. Even if they risked their lives, they might not be able to reverse the situation.

"This man killed Wang, Chen, don't tell me you're going to give in..."

Seeing her companion's subtle expression, Edith clenched her fist tightly and said accusingly, "Are you crazy?! How dare you waver in your faith?!"

"enough."

Just then, a white man with long, gray hair intervened and stopped the fight between the two.

He walked slowly over, clearly the strongest member of the Nathan Guard—Lena Knight, who had previously been guarding the Paradise against the rebellion, and who had teleported here the moment he sensed the bad news.

In terms of age, status, and ability, he is far behind the other guards.

"Chen, you're in charge of negotiations. The goods looted from the beach can be returned; also, demand that they leave our island immediately."

Knight made his decisions, and even when someone angrily objected, he shut them up.

Having received instructions, 'Chen' met Jiang Mo's gaze, bearing immense pressure, and began negotiations:

"You can return everything, but you must leave the island immediately; as for the king's fall, some guards will seek revenge on you, but of course, you can kill them now."

"?"

“I don’t think you’ve grasped the situation yet. It’s me making demands on you, not me compromising with you.”

"Now that I have killed your king, I don't mind going back to the royal city and uprooting that divine tree."

Jiang Mo's words exuded power. He looked at the black-clad sorcerer and smiled calmly: "Slaughter the island, or spare the people? Let them choose one."

"call out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blood-red figure flew through the air. Asakura Nagare fell to the ground, barely alive, coughing up blood. His bones were broken, and his katana was reduced to just the hilt. He tried to call for help from his companions.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Mo raised his hand, and a white flame instantly shot out, piercing the back of Nasen Guard's head and killing him on the spot.

“…”

Jiang Mo moved so fast that the Nasen Guards didn't even have time to react before he began reaping lives right before their eyes.

"Don't go too far!"

Some people were so enraged that they almost lost control and were about to resort to violence. The other party's actions were a complete trampling on the dignity of Nathan.

"And what can you do about it?"

A cold voice rang out from afar. Lu Jin walked through the blood-stained path and communicated with the islanders: "Your time is running out. Please consider this carefully."

The black-clad sorcerer accurately translated Jiang Mo's meaning, and the six Nasen Guards turned ashen-faced when they heard that the other party had the idea of ​​uprooting the divine tree.

For them, this was an absolute taboo that could not be crossed.

"What are we waiting for?! Lennart, are we just going to let him into the Sacred Forest?"

Edith became agitated, and her black flames suddenly exploded. Without consulting anyone else, she charged directly at Jiang Mo.

"We'll hold him back, you take action. We have enough time!"

As her attack began, the situation spiraled out of control once again, and a group of Nathan Guards were dragged into the fray.

"kill--!"

A sea of ​​fire swept in, and a black beast forged from sparks opened its blood-red maw, lunging to devour Jiang Mo.

"call out!"

Jiang Mo weaved through the sea of ​​fire, dodging the interception of the strange beasts. A silver aura emanated from his right hand. Just as he was about to approach Edith, a blurry figure arrived and blocked his path. A vortex of gray light instantly corroded Jiang Mo's aura, leaving it pitted and uneven.

"Um....?"

Jiang Mo stopped, staring in surprise at his right hand. Wisps of ash scattered, making his fair skin look a little older, yet it healed in an instant.

The flow of Qi created violent ripples, not because it was dissolved, but because it accelerated the changes in matter. In that instant, it was as if decades of time had been swept away.

This is also the enemy that has had the greatest impact on Jiang Moqi's physical body so far, even more monstrous than the divine spirit.

The woman guarding Edith had a graceful figure and pale purple hair that fell over her shoulders. At this moment, her face was covered in cold sweat, and her hands were trembling. The gray vortex she controlled was also collapsing, and the consumption of energy every second was enormous.

"I underestimated you."

Jiang Mo exhaled a breath of pure Qi, and countless bolts of lightning gathered in his left hand, striking fiercely at the two Nasen Guards.

"Boom!"

The gray vortex expanded again, devouring the lightning. As soon as one approached that mysterious domain, the lightning was weakened into dust, posing no threat whatsoever.

However, the Nathan Guard was struggling terribly, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, his eyes bloodshot, and he was on the verge of collapse.

"We can't let you continue killing like this."

An aged voice came from above, and Lylenet teleported over, his long fingers outstretched, a mysterious power spreading wildly, distorting the surrounding space.

Divine Skill - Heaven!

As long as this outsider is locked up, for a hundred years, or two hundred years, or even three hundred years? It doesn't matter...

Lyle Knight had an absolute conviction that, through a long, almost infinite period of time, she could crush the will of her opponent.

What makes you think I'm not waiting for you?

At the same moment, a fierce glint appeared in Jiang Mo's eyes, and the Qi in his left hand suddenly erupted, thunderous and turbulent, completely piercing through the gray vortex, blasting the two Nasen Guards bloodied and nearly crippled.

Just as Lylenet was about to succeed, an ancient incantation was suddenly uttered from Jiang Mo's mouth.

Even though it was only a few words, the caster's face instantly twisted, and the veins that writhed like earthworms almost pierced through his flesh. His eyes bled, and a massive amount of nerve damage poured directly into his brain, crushing his consciousness into shreds, making it impossible for his heaven to extend.

"Pfft!"

Lylenet was severely injured, her magic was interrupted, she coughed up blood and fell from the void, unable to control her body.

Jiang Mo pulled his right fist back, suddenly gathered his strength, and unleashed a powerful punch.

"boom!!!"

A powerful, overwhelming fist struck Lylenet's body, like a cannonball, blasting him through in an instant, shattering his internal organs and bones, killing him instantly.

Chapter 94 The True Form of the Divine Tree

Nine guards and one king rule the island, and ten devout followers protect the sacred tree.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Jiang Mo landed on the island, four people perished. Even the blessing of the divine tree could not save their fragile lives from the brutal power.

The shattered mountains were ablaze with black fire. Edith and Hevonne were struck by the Qi lightning and left bloodied and mangled, on the verge of death.

Their once stunning beauty was destroyed in the ravages of lightning. Their skin and bones were charred and torn, with shocking blood seeping out from time to time, and the wounds were difficult to heal.

Of the remaining four Nathan Guards, one had his arm melted, greatly reducing his combat power, while the other three were suffering terribly from the pursuit of the silver chains, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

The black-clad sorcerer stared at Jiang Mo, hesitant to act out of fear. His faith had long since crumbled. Faced with such a vast disparity, he could protect nothing; he was nothing more than a lamb whose fate was controlled by others.

"call out!!"

Lu Jin rushed forward. The two heavily injured Nasen guards, looking listless and convulsing, could not escape death. Their skulls were shattered by a single palm strike, and they both perished.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Mo caught the guy who first tried to assassinate him, used his true magic to dissolve his Qi, and his soul returned to heaven and earth.

At this point, only three Nathan Guards remained, and the situation was irreversible; they had no chance of resistance.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

After several rounds of fierce fighting, the blazing silver chains pierced through their limbs. For some unknown reason, the blessing of the divine tree seemed to have caused the tide to recede, leaving the men barely alive and covered in blood.

"Gurgle..."

Jiang Mo conjured three white flames from his fingertips, which penetrated their brows and skulls, reaching deep into their brains.

"Crackling sound!!!"

The chains came loose, and they fell to the ground, panting heavily, exhausted.

"Prepare all the supplies for me before dawn and move them to the port," Jiang Mo instructed the black-clad sorcerer.

Having survived the ordeal, he felt a sense of relief, yet his expression was filled with sorrow. His chapped lips moved weakly as he whispered, "It's alright..."

“Please don’t go to the Sacred Grove. The sacred tree is innocent. It has its own life. It is we arrogant believers who have defiled its power and caused this conflict.”

Before Jiang Mo could respond, he continued, "We can trade. Whether you want treasure or other rare resources, as long as the national treasury has them, we can give them to you."

"But please allow me to humbly beg you not to harm the sacred tree."

Gathering medical resources was the most important thing; as for other treasures, Jiang Mo had no interest in them. He simply asked casually, "What was that method that accelerated the change of matter just now?"

"Herwinie was born under the divine tree, possessing innate abilities that cannot be cultivated later in life."

"Who is the other one?" Jiang Mo recalled the spatial fluctuations from before; for a moment, it felt as if he were being dragged into an unknown dimension.

"Heavenly Kingdom... Once entered, one cannot leave without the spellcaster's permission. The time flow ratio inside is infinite: 1 compared to the outside world, making cultivation possible."

"If you want the parchment scroll that records the cultivation steps, I'll get it for you later; it's in the national treasury."

Blood dripped down the black-clad sorcerer's forehead. His face was deathly pale. He was willing to pay any price to continue the legacy of the forest kingdom and to save the lives of the islanders and believers.

"Take me to the center of the royal city; I want to see that tree."

Nathan was trembling all over as he pleaded, "Please... the sacred tree is truly innocent..."

"If I really wanted to dig, would I ask for your permission? Take me there."

Jiang Mo made his point very clear, and the black-clad sorcerer understood the meaning and dared not refuse. He then had Lu Jin and Jiang Mo put their arms around his shoulders.

Before leaving, Chen instructed his companions: "Hall, Evans, go and arrange for people to move those goods."

"I'll take them to the royal city. Don't worry about the sacred tree; we have no other choice. Please trust me."

The two heavily wounded Nathan Guards numbly agreed to his arrangements.

"Om-!"

A transparent vortex unfolded, and Jiang Mo and Lu Jin pierced through the alternate dimension, arriving at the sacred forest of the royal city in an instant. Here, the mist was thick, and an ancient tree stood tall on the ground.

"It's right here..."

Led by 'Chen', Jiang Mo arrived in front of the divine tree. The soil beneath the tree contained a vast amount of Qi, so rich and boundless that it seemed endless.

"You see..."

Jiang Mo stood before the divine tree, gazing at the withered branches, which resembled twisted hands, faintly emanating the pulse of life.

Countless intricate whispers gradually rose from his ears, seemingly drawing him to submit to the glory of the gods.

Jiang Mo raised his hand slightly forward, causing a large amount of soil to rise and the ground to shake, startling the black-clad sorcerer: "You...you said you wouldn't?!"

"Just looking."

As the soil was removed, the deep pit was revealed in its entirety. Jiang Mo looked down and saw countless twisted tree roots intertwined, with blurry faces imprinted within them, incredibly ferocious, and dazzling golden light shining from the center of the roots.

After more than a thousand years, a scene that only the dying King Nathan could witness was presented in its entirety to these few people.

"How...how could this happen...?"

The black-clad sorcerer's pupils contracted sharply. He knelt down in agony, a chill creeping over him for no apparent reason. This was more agonizing than death itself. His already crumbling faith was now utterly reduced to ruins.

"Uncle-Master...this tree is so eerie."

Lu Jin frowned. He vaguely felt that the tree roots below were like a living thing formed from countless obsessions.

"Hmm, it's not what I'm looking for."

Jiang Mo was somewhat disappointed. He had initially suspected that the divine tree that could create all the strange people on the island might be the legendary ancient Jianmu tree, but it was not.

"Boom!!!"

The soil collapsed, burying the roots, and all was calm. Only the black-clad sorcerer's lament remained in the world. He held his head in his hands, curled up on the ground, and was emotionally devastated because the divine tree was a man-made object.

"I have no interest in this tree. Whether you keep it or destroy it is up to you," Jiang said, seemingly indifferent.
