Chapter 976 - 336: Forging the Divine Body into the Dao

After sealing each other’s plugin, Han Zhan and the World Tree continued their godly battle.

At the base of the World Tree’s trunk, the Divine Seal of Origin from the Ancient Divine Soldiers Kongtong Seal was not completely dispelled.

Both belonging to the Creator God Level Dao, the Chaos Dao could only disrupt the effect, unable to completely remove it.

Thus, the situation now is that the Kongtong Seal is being spread by the interference of the Chaos Dao, with a thin hazy black mist surrounding the mythic form of the World Tree that towers over everything.

The leaves that touched the black mist withered and shriveled instantly,

The originally brilliant Holy Tree suddenly became bare, like a bald head, adding a hint of humor to the otherwise tense battle.

The Chaos Dao restrained the Ancient Divine Soldiers Kongtong Seal, preventing the talent of the Divine Seal of Origin from continuing to affect the body of the divine tree.

Similarly, this layer of thin black mist, though a hindrance to the World Tree, also created certain restrictions for Han Zhan.

At least, he couldn’t easily approach the range of the World Tree now.

Otherwise, the Chaos Dao would misguide the Kongtong Seal, causing it to indiscriminately backlash against himself.

Understanding this, Han Zhan’s combat strategy became simpler.

Long-range depletion.

At first, Han Zhan used the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword to unleash a series of slashes.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Now, Han Zhan’s Dao Enlightenment rivaled the Saints, and the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword in his hand unleashed sword slashes akin to the Yellow Emperor’s.

Yet even such powerful sword slashes could not pierce the outer bark of the World Tree.

This scene made Han Zhan raise his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

His keen gaze noticed that at the moment the sword light struck the World Tree body, an extremely complex, ancient, distinctive pattern appeared at the point of impact of the Xuanyuan Sword’s slash.

It was the appearance of that special pattern that offset the terrifying power of the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword’s slash.

That pattern was completely different from the tree patterns of the World Tree.

What could that be?

Han Zhan didn’t know, but he understood that if he continued to use the Xuanyuan Sword for long-range sword slashes, he might deplete his Spiritual Power first, losing his ability to counterattack.

Thus, he decisively changed his attack strategy.

Only to see the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword in his hand disappear, replaced by two pistols.

Yes, pistols.

In addition to the pistols, the shattered Spiritual Power that overflowed into the heavens and earth continually re-converged, forming golden "bullets" behind him.

"Nuwa Stone."

Understanding Han Zhan, the World Tree immediately recognized the real identity of what he held.

Ancient Divine Soldiers, Nuwa Stone!

The ability of the Nuwa Stone of Heavenly Origin allows the residual Spiritual Power in the heavens and earth to be reused.

Without consuming one’s own Spiritual Power, yet able to inflict damage on the enemy, it’s the perfect choice for a battle of attrition.

Nuwa Saint used these means to eventually defeat Yahweh among the Radiant Black Creator Gods, demonstrating the formidable and mystical power of the Creation Dao.

Transforming the Nuwa Stone into pistols for long-range attacks on the World Tree is not difficult.

As for why pistols.

Probably, just convenient.

Han Zhan didn’t answer the World Tree’s words. He raised his hands, the pistol muzzles aimed at the World Tree, and Spiritual Energy Bullets automatically filled them.

Boom!

Bam bam bam!

The Spiritual Energy Bullets, empowered by the Nuwa Stone pistols, shot towards the body of the World Tree.

The World Tree, trapped in the thin black mist, suddenly lost means of ranged combat, and could only be passively beaten.

It was expected,

Even the defense that the Xuanyuan Sword’s slash couldn’t break, the effects would be worse with these Heaven’s Origin-reformed Spiritual Energy Bullets.

Han Zhan wasn’t discouraged.

His main purpose was just to use these worthless "bullets" to uncover the secrets hidden in the mysterious, yet strangely familiar, special divine patterns on the surface of the World Tree.

...

"During the stalemate phase, the World Tree is temporarily suppressed, but Han Zhan cannot break the World Tree body’s defense."

On the Human Race’s stand, the Fu Xi Saint spoke upon seeing this scene.

The Yellow Emperor frowned deeply, pondering something.

Beside him, the Nuwa Saint continued: "I just don’t know what means can actually block even the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword’s slash."

"With this, wanting to defeat Radiant Black becomes much harder."

Indeed.

Upon hearing this, the Saints nodded lightly.

"If it’s just about attrition, there might be a chance for the World Tree’s Divine Power to be exhausted, at which point any defense means would be unusable and useless."

Theoretically, this is true.

However...

"The World Tree might not allow the situation to drag on."

As soon as the Fu Xi Saint finished speaking,

In the arena, the World Tree finally made a move.

It was a target in the arena, shot by Han Zhan’s dual guns with hundreds of Spiritual Energy Bullets.

At the moment Han Zhan reloaded the energy clip, the giant mythic form of the World Tree suddenly disappeared.

"Interstellar Wanderer."

Seeing the World Tree vanish, Han Zhan felt a chilling sensation behind him, without any hesitation, he attempted to escape as starlight.

But he failed.

A simple unremarkable fist suddenly pierced through his body.

The next second, Han Zhan felt as if he’d been hit by a giant planet, his blood and divine body instantly dissolved.

Just one punch.

Han Zhan was slain in a second!

Points of starlight re-converged far away, and Han Zhan’s body was reshaped by the Shennong Cauldron.

He looked at where he had just stood, a figure stood there, emerging from the shadows.

Upon seeing "himself," Han Zhan’s eyebrows furrowed.

That was, himself!

"Creator Gods always believe the mythic form is the ultimate form, but in truth, it is not so."

"Han Zhan" transformed by the World Tree spoke calmly.

"Concentration is essence."

Upon hearing these words, Han Zhan understood the World Tree’s meaning.

Although the mythic form is strong and terrifying, maintaining such a form consumes too much unnecessary Spiritual Power.

And imagine if the mythic form were transformed into a human shape, what level of enhancement would its power, defense, and speed receive?

"This, is my second form."

"Come, let me see how many resurrection chances you still have!"

As soon as the World Tree finished speaking, its figure disappeared again.

The Interstellar Wanderer’s ability, coupled with the World Tree’s current human form, with the inclusion of two mythic forms—World Tree and Giant Ancestor—provided an unprecedented strength.

The strongest close-combat Creator God ever,

That description is not an exaggeration.

Another punch.

After the World Tree swung this punch, no expected kill followed, instead its pupils suddenly widened.

Because—the punch was blocked!

Opposite it, Han Zhan hung his head low, his facial expression unclear.

Only his voice echoed in the arena:

"With my divine body, I forge the Heaven-Reaching Dao!"
