The Luan Tree King naturally knew that he didn't have long to live.
Even if he didn't die today, his 1,000-year time limit would come in less than ten years. He still hadn't reached the late-stage of the Five Elements Reincarnation Tribulation realm, so his death was almost certain.
But as he said, he had no regrets about today's battle. All he wanted was to teach the Yakshas a painful lesson.
The Yaksha King had invited the battle ahead of time. He didn't care about his own safety and stepped out alone. He was unafraid of death. His aged figure stood tall in front of the Mountain Tree Clan and the countless ferocious Yakshas.
The old man in his twilight years was as brave and fearless as a god of war.
This scene made Long Chen feel an indescribable excitement. Although the other race didn't have much to do with him, the Luan Tree King's spirit still influenced him and the rest of the Luan Tree Race. This was a struggle for survival. Somehow, Long Chen felt like he had become the Luan Tree King himself. Facing the ferocious invaders, even a sheep would fight for survival.
Their blood was boiling.
The Luan Tree Race's hearts burned. Looking at the old but strong figure, they silently cheered for the Luan Tree King.
Battle.
Only battle could ensure the survival of the race.
From the Yakshas' point of view, an army of 400,000 could definitely crush the cowardly trash of the Luan Tree Race. The Yaksha King was full of contempt for the Luan Tree Race, but he was surprised that they still had the will to fight.
"Looks like it's all because of you, old man."
The yaksha stuck out her scarlet and sharp tongue and licked the tip of her nose, revealing a sinister smile. Although she was a woman, yakshas generally looked ferocious, and she was no better.
The Yaksha Race was born to be good at fighting, but the Mountain Tree Race was not. The Yaksha King raised a hand, her blood-red eyes staring at the Mountain Tree Race. Just as the Yakshas were shouting, she raised a blood-red wave and charged towards the Mountain Tree Race. For a moment, the sky seemed to have turned into a sea of blood. Countless Yakshas felt their blood boiling. Seeing this scene, the ferocity in their bones was aroused. All of them gripped their weapons. This was a battle team made up of Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts. Just their roars alone could blow up a large area of the ground. If the Yaksha King hadn't given the order, they would have already charged towards the weak Mountain Tree Race.
"King, the invincible King."
"From today onwards, our Yaksha Clan will rise."
They roared and laughed excitedly. Their laughter was like a thunderclap, creating a huge rumble.
This scene caused Ling Xi's beautiful brows to knit together slightly. She gazed at the boundless blood-colored sea and said, "The weak are prey to the strong. This is the rule of the world. It's just that … it's a little too cruel. Why can't they calm down and coexist peacefully?"
Long Chen did not understand this question either. He could only say, "All living beings are fighting for survival, but some races have stronger desires, such as the Yaksha Race. Therefore, such a scene is unavoidable. I think that if there is an absolute suppressor, a god, who is kind and just, but also has absolute authority, the world will be able to settle down with such a suppressor."
Lingxi looked at him curiously and asked, "Chen, do you want to be such a ruler?"
The battle between the Yaksha King and the Luan Tree King was already very intense. Everyone was watching closely. Long Chen was no exception. He took a deep breath and said, "Of course I hope so, but the world is cruel. The weak will be eliminated no matter what. The strong will become stronger, and life will evolve. Otherwise, if we encounter invaders and the ruler can't resist, the entire world will be destroyed."
At this point, the battle between the Yaksha King and the Luan Tree King had reached its climax. The Luan Tree King had turned into a towering ancient tree, and his countless branches and leaves were like steel whips. He also had the Tree Race's divine abilities. Those were his powerful weapons, but the Yaksha Race was more agile and violent.
The battle between the two could be said to affect the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people. Long Chen could hear the rapid heartbeats of countless people. It seemed that to the Luan Tree Race, the Luan Tree King's victory or defeat concerned the survival of their race.
Long Chen also gritted his teeth. He sympathized with the weak and naturally hoped that the Luan Tree King would win. The Luan Tree King was a kind race, and he didn't want to see them die.
He had already made his preparations. Regardless of whether it was for the Heart of the Progenitor Tree or not, he had to give it his all today. Long Chen did not know why he had undergone such a metamorphosis. In fact, even he himself was puzzled. Perhaps it was because he was unwilling to be invaded. This was a kind of anger that had fused with his blood, and it was slowly being stimulated. The clamoring Yakshas became extremely ugly in his eyes.
"I didn't know you had some ability." The Yaksha King weaved through the countless whips.
The Five Element Reincarnation Realm Luan Tree King could use the power of the five elements to change the structure of matter. Among the five elements, the wood element was a very strong power. The Luan Tree King's regenerative ability was very strong, even comparable to Long Chen's Dream of the Origin.
A layer of green light completely surrounded the Luan Tree King. The green light was as bright as the sun. Countless ancient tree runes flashed on the Luan Tree King's body. Hundreds of thousands of ancient tree runes gathered on the Luan Tree King's body, forming a powerful defense. The Yaksha King's pitchfork couldn't pierce through, and under the Luan Tree King's all-out attack, the Yaksha King was forced back.
"Cruel and unscrupulous Yakshas, you animals. Back then, you were almost wiped out. My Luan Tree Race gave you a way out. Today, you repay kindness with enmity. You will be punished by the heavens. My Luan Tree Race will make you die a horrible death, even if I have to sacrifice myself.
"An ugly race will never have the right to rule. You Yakshas are destined to be clowns. You have no future. This is no longer your era."
The Luan Tree King had exhausted his power. He shouldn't have been able to unleash such a violent attack, but he had faith. He carried the fate of his race on his back. He carried the hopes of countless warriors, the old, the weak, the women, and the children. Behind him were sincere eyes. They were so young, and their lives had just begun. In order to protect them, he couldn't lose.
The Luan Tree King didn't hesitate to burn his own life force to kill the Yaksha King. His huge body gave him a huge advantage. Not only was the Yaksha King forced to retreat, but the Yakshas who had gathered together were also whipped into meat paste by the Luan Tree King.
If he could, the Luan Tree King could actually kill the 400,000 Yakshas, as long as they gathered together and obediently accepted their deaths.
However, this was obviously not going to happen. After an accident, the Yakshas all fled, and the Luan Tree King missed. This scene made the Luan Tree King's blood boil. The Luan Tree King had the upper hand, and it made them realize that today's victory was possible.
At this moment, they were already prepared to fight.
Only a few people knew that the Luan Tree King was about to die.
"His life force is failing, and he has exhausted too much power. The Yaksha King is full of energy..."
As soon as Long Chen said this, something unforeseen happened, just as he had expected.
The Yaksha King's eyes were red and she was extremely furious. Her body was covered in blood light, and she controlled the Blood Sea to descend above the Luan Tree King. She also had the Five Elements Reincarnation Power and wasn't weaker than the Luan Tree King.
Source power was activated.
Source power was the foundation of the world, and it was the most terrifying power. The Five Elements were mixed together in a specific ratio, becoming the blood power of the Yaksha King.
Her face was full of viciousness, and her eyes bulged as she roared in a low voice, "Old Devil, the game is about to end. This is my first battle to dominate. I wanted to have a good time, but you're not giving me any face."
At this moment, the blood-colored whirlwind was raging beneath her. She stood on it majestically.
She stretched out a hand and clenched it in the air.
All of a sudden, a terrifying energy descended. Countless people had no choice but to lower their heads. Their faces were filled with despair. Grey energy gathered towards the Yaksha King's palm. A strong wind blew, and finally, it gathered into a two meter long halberd in his hand.
It was a grey halberd covered in Dao patterns. Countless skulls wrapped around it, shining with grey light. With the appearance of the halberd, the Yaksha King's combat strength rose to a terrifying level. The grey color infected her body. Her arms and half of her body turned from blood red to grey. Thick blood flowed from the cracks.
The halberd waved slightly, and heaven and earth shook. It was as if everyone was going to kneel before it.
"Styx River Halberd."
Countless people cried out its name in horror.
This was a weapon with even more killing intent than the God Slaying Sword. Of course, that was because the Dao patterns on the halberd far surpassed the God Slaying Sword. Other than the fact that the God Slaying Sword could devour Dao weapons, the halberd didn't have the Styx River Halberd's other attributes were similar to the God Slaying Sword.
"It looks like it's going to eat this guy."
The Little Skeleton poked its head out of the God Slaying Sword, its green eyes staring at the halberd.
Long Chen didn't have time to care. He was panicking inside. Clearly, the Luan Tree King was finished once the Styx River Halberd appeared.
It was just as he'd expected.
The Yaksha King had just taken out the Styx River Halberd when he attacked. The halberd descended from the sky and slashed towards the Luan Tree King. The Luan Tree King used the green branches to defend, but at that moment, the green tree runes collapsed and exploded. The Yaksha King laughed coldly. The Five Elements Reincarnation Power swept out, and everywhere it went, the Luan Tree King's branches broke.
In the end, all the green light was destroyed.
