Puff!
Along with the piercing sound, the branches of the Tree of Life exploded with dazzling light.
"No!"
In an instant, King Lu Feng's Immortal Martial Spirit became distorted. His soul light dimmed and his consciousness began to melt. A vast amount of soul power was absorbed by the Tree of Life!
Gulp!
Gulp!
Like a ferocious beast gulping down mouthful after mouthful, King Lu Feng's Immortal Martial Spirit melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Above the Tree of Life, a crystal ball of light began to shine as if it was about to be born!
Buzz buzz buzz!
However, what surprised Xiao Chen was that there was another small ball of light shining above the Tree of Life.
Chirp chirp chirp!
At this time, a series of soft chirps resounded. The little bird that he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appeared and landed on Xiao Chen's shoulder. Right now, it was no longer as ugly as it was when it was just born. Instead, it became brighter and brighter with divine light.
His small body also began to grow. His feathers were like divine crystals, and they emitted divine splendor. Feathers that looked like a crown even grew out of his head.
Its small head rubbed against Xiao Chen's cheek and looked at the small ball of light. Immediately, Xiao Chen understood that the second life form in his pocket dimension was about to be born!
Kacha!
The small ball of light didn't fall off from the Tree of Life. Instead, it cracked open and a ball of light floated out, falling towards Xiao Chen's direction.
This was a furry creature. Its appearance couldn't be made out at all. It was just too fat, looking like a meatball. Its two small eyes were moving about chaotically. Even though it had just been born, it already possessed extremely high intelligence.
Suddenly, this little guy uttered a tender cry and rolled to Xiao Chen's feet. Its two short legs hugged him.
Clearly, it knew that Xiao Chen was the ruler of this world. Xiao Chen waved his hand and the meatball appeared in front of him. Just like that, one man and one beast faced each other.
Chirp chirp chirp!
On the contrary, the little bird chirped and wanted to peck it with the corner of its beak.
"Birds and beasts?"
As his thoughts flowed, Xiao Chen obtained a wisp of enlightenment. As the world revolved, life would be born. Birds and beasts were a general term that encompassed too many types of living beings!
But that wasn't the end. On the Tree of Life, another huge ball of light fell off and flew directly to him!
The ball of light flickered and constantly changed. Finally, a humanoid figure appeared, but it had no facial features!
A doppelganger spirit body!
Xiao Chen placed the little beast in his hand back into the pocket dimension and turned his attention to the spirit body in front of him!
He didn't expect that another spiritual clone would be born on the Tree of Life. After all, including the clone he destroyed, he already had four clones!
In the Wasteland, this was already extremely heaven-defying!
There was no limit to the number of Martial Path Clones a King could create. If they had the ability, they could create a thousand or even ten thousand clones.
The Martial Path Doppelganger required Spirit Treasures of Heaven and Earth to form the body, and it also required the Martial Soul to form the will. How many Spirit Treasures of Heaven and Earth could a King obtain in his entire life?
It had to be said that Xiao Chen was heaven-defying!
Previously, he remembered that he couldn't make the Tree of Life produce another spiritual clone. Now, another clone was born.
"Is it because I absorbed the Immortal Martial Spirit?"
Divine light swirled around him as his thoughts surged. Xiao Chen kept thinking!
Buzz!
The next moment, the pocket dimension buzzed again. Whether it was because of the Immortal Martial Spirit or not, he would know once he tried!
Now, he still had three Otaku Kings in his hands.
This time, the unlucky one was the Pavilion King. He didn't even have the time to react before he was pressed onto the Tree of Life by Xiao Chen. The Tree of Life absorbed his soul power, which was equivalent to turning him into ashes and disappearing from the world!
If he was suppressed, although he couldn't see the light of day, he would still survive in another way. But now, he was completely dead!
Buzz!
As expected, after absorbing the Pavilion King's Immortal Martial Spirit, a fruit-like ball of light on one of the branches of the Tree of Life shone with a dazzling divine light!
However, it didn't fall off the Tree of Life as expected. It seemed like the nurturing process wasn't complete!
"Not enough?"
Xiao Chen soon realized that the reason why he was able to produce a new spiritual clone with just King Lufeng's Martial Spirit was because the Tree of Life had already accumulated some resources.
After absorbing the power of King Lufeng's Immortal Martial Spirit, it reached the critical point of nurturing. However, the Pavilion King's Martial Spirit's soul power was not enough to produce a complete Martial Spirit Clone!
Even so, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. This meant that as long as he had the Immortal Martial Spirit of a foreign race's King, he would be able to produce more spiritual clones!
Since one foreign race's Immortal Martial Spirit was not enough, he would hunt ten, or even a hundred of them in the future!
… …
While Xiao Chen was immersed in the increase of the number of clones, the danger of the human race had arrived in the western region far away from the Sky Lake Royal City!
The ancient Heavenly Python Clan's counterattack had begun!
The matter started with the Heavenly Python Clan's Great Elder. Previously, the Heavenly Python Clan's Great Elder followed Sky Dragon Mo Luo into the Huai River and brought the King's Destiny from the bottom of the Huai River back to the ancient Heavenly Python Clan!
However, Xiao Chen's Martial Spirit Clone followed him. It crossed the Huai River basin and headed west. Along the way, it destroyed all the spatial teleportation formations in the northern region and cut off the spatial connection between the northern region of Otaku and the other regions!
When Xiao Chen entered the Beast Tamer Race's northwestern region, he realized that he had underestimated an ancient inheritance even though he thought highly of the Emperor Bloodline Ancient Clan that had existed for a long time. When he wanted to kill the Heavenly Python Ancient Clan's Supreme Elder and take back the King's Destiny, he realized that he had underestimated an ancient inheritance again!
The long history of the Heavenly Python Clan was a symbol of strength. Although he had regained the Monarch's Mandate, he hadn't completely killed the Heavenly Python Clan's Grand Elder!
After all, although his Martial Spirit Clone was extremely powerful, there was still a gap between him and the main body. Moreover, he had underestimated the Heavenly Python Clan's Great Elder.
When he launched his killing move, the Heavenly Python Clan's Great Elder showed Xiao Chen the resources of an ancient clan!
The Void Teleportation Formation!
This was a treasure with the same function as the Void Teleportation Formation. However, the Void Teleportation Formation could be carried around and directly activated to teleport oneself to a specific location to avoid the killing move!
This kind of treasure was even more precious and rare than the Void Teleportation Formation. Even though it was only a Heaven-grade treasure, it was comparable to a King grade treasure!
The sure-kill strike had failed at the last moment!
This time, his combat strength had lost to his resources!
… …
At the border between the northern and northwestern regions of Otaku, the Borderline Mountain!
The four rulers had already reunited with Xiao Chen's Metal Clone. Although Xiao Chen's main body was not present, there was a connection between his clones and his main body!
After all, the territory of Otaku was not as vast as the mortal world. It was extremely far away, so his main body could sense the battle between the Borderline Mountain as well!
At the peak of an ancient mountain that stood thirty thousand meters tall in the Borderline Mountain!
Five figures stood with their backs to the northern region of Otaku and faced the northwestern region of the Beast Taming Realm. The western region of the Borderline Mountain was extremely flat. There were a few clans of Otaku that prospered on the boundless land!
However, they had already become empty cities. The clans had fled west, but they did not care. After all, the people of Otaku were like ants in their eyes!
"Saint, why do you think the Heavenly Python Clan hasn't attacked? Are they trying to force us back with their aura?"
On the mountain peak, the Heavenly Moon King asked. He could not blame the Saint for asking such a question!
It was just too unexpected. On the horizon in the west, experts belonging to the Heavenly Python Clan had already arrived. There was more than one ruler among them, and there was even a Level Seven expert!
However, several days had passed, and they still had no intention of attacking. On the contrary, the camp they had set up in the distance was growing larger and larger. Soldiers from various tribes of Otaku constantly gathered!
The size of the camp alone had already exceeded three million people, and this number was still increasing!
"They want to take us down in one fell swoop, and even the combat masters under our command!"
The Heavenly Blade King's eyes burned as he snorted coldly!
Although there were more than a dozen rulers in this invasion of the Beast Taming Realm, the combat masters were all from the Ancient Yuan Tribe. There were only a million of them, and they were all scattered around the Cang Lan River. Under the leadership of the rulers, they were plundering resources!
"This is troublesome. Looks like the other side has experts as well!"
The Tianhuai King nodded.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
This was indeed troublesome!
If the Heavenly Python Clan could not wait to attack, then it would be fine. But now it seemed like they were planning to tangle with the humans!
If the humans retreated, they would advance. Moreover, the combat masters would march straight into the Cang Lan River, and the human rulers would be held back by them.
Once the battle reached a stalemate, the humans would be besieged from all sides of Otaku!
"Saint, order the plundering human combat masters to retreat and return to the human world. The resources we've plundered are enough to last us for a while!"
The Tianhuai King suddenly said.
"I've already sent a voice transmission to my original body. I'm just afraid that it won't be easy for us to retreat!"
Xiao Chen said again. "The Cang Lan River is too big. Our millions of human combat masters won't be able to see anything if we spread them out. Even if there are rulers, they can't take care of everything.
"I'm afraid that the ancient Heavenly Python Clan has contacted the surviving Otaku warriors in the river. Once we retreat, they will hold us back, and the ancient Heavenly Python Clan in front of us will attack us in full force. The rulers we've placed in the south and east can't move an inch, even if the Otaku in those two directions don't make any moves!"
The humans' reaction was too fast. Even though they had killed the rulers of the Otaku in those two areas, the Otaku's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations!
