Chapter 1265 - 792: A Rookie Dreaming of Challenging the Ultimate Boss

The summit of Kunlun Mountain was silent, the atmosphere terrifyingly heavy.

Lin Shiwei and Master Qing stood far above in the sky, gazing down at the small Human Race below the towering giant tree.

The girl’s face rarely showed a nervous expression, her hands clasped together, her fingertips pressed against her lips, as if praying for something.

Snowflakes drifted from the sky, landing on Du Yu’s shoulder.

He moved his right hand, and an illusory axe blade appeared in it.

Of course, he wouldn’t open a spatial rift—this was all just practice... Hmm, from the reaction of the Kunlun Divine Tree, it seemed Du Yu had no chance to open a spatial rift?

The Void Axe suddenly spoke: "Master, be careful of their energy release."

Du Yu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Energy release?"

Void: "The Void can remain in a state of illusory axe shadow, avoiding branches’ strikes while tearing open a spatial rift.

However, if the opponent releases energy, it can flip the Void Axe away.

Moreover, if the opponent’s energy release is too massive, the Void Axe needs to immediately solidify, otherwise the illusory body will be torn apart by the energy."

"Hmm." Du Yu nodded heavily, gripping the Void Axe Handle tightly.

Void Axe: "If you happen to lose, there’s no need to be discouraged. Your courage to challenge the world’s divine beings surpasses all life."

Du Yu: "..."

At least wait until I’m done fighting to comfort me!

The people around all preemptively worried—is my heart really that fragile...

Do they think I can’t handle failure?

As he thought this, Du Yu realized something.

He seemed never to have failed on this journey, except for that final exam in Ancient Wilderness City.

Even though the task failed, Du Yu was the only one who passed among all examinees.

As a genuine "Invincible General," everyone concerned about him had reason to worry that Du Yu might find failure unbearable.

Hmm... this is probably care leading to chaos.

The truth is, Du Yu had always lived amidst setbacks.

That thing called life had given him countless hardships.

As small as the next meal, a bed to lay on.

As large as a desolate city, constantly reminding him that hundreds of thousands of people, countless families, were forced to accept life’s changes—all these responsibilities lay on him.

The even bigger difficulty was a world shrouded in gray mist, relentlessly crashing down on his head.

Regarding unfulfilled desires and the helplessness of failure, Du Yu understood those feelings better than anyone.

So...

Du Yu looked up, gazing at the magnificent towering ancient wood.

What Invincible General—perhaps I simply can’t bear to lose more, and desire to win more.

"Zizz~ Zzzz~"

An electric current flickered across Du Yu’s body, and the next moment, his figure vanished.

"Whoosh!"

A withered branch shot downward, with a chillingly sharp sound.

Du Yu’s eyes suddenly widened, filled with brilliant light.

Eye of Burning Sun·Hunting Moment!

In a world where the flow of time suddenly slowed, on the west side of the Kunlun Divine Tree, he strained to move his eyeballs, lifting his eyes upward.

He saw a thin withered branch, like a sharp blade, already suspended above his head.

Bear in mind, this withered branch had come down from the sky!

And at this moment, the withered branch was only about 10cm from Du Yu’s shoulder, and in the world of the Eye of Burning Sun, the branch was stabbing downward at a visible speed.

Du Yu’s eyes narrowed; he had seen this scene before, in the Ancient Pine Tower South Suburb·Bottomless Pit.

At that time, he was utterly powerless against the Cold Branch’s strike, not even having the time to activate the Mountain and Sea Bell.

But this time was different!

"Whoosh~"

Du Yu’s figure flickered again, swinging the Void Axe, and appeared directly on the east side of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

"Sizz..."

Above, a tearing sound stretched long and strange.

Du Yu was startled; his Eye of Burning Sun was still active.

And in this nearly frozen world, another Spirit Branch stabbed down from above his right shoulder.

This time, the withered branch was no longer just 10cm from his shoulder, but more like 6 or 7cm.

With Du Yu’s current physical condition, the speed of the withered branch’s descent was many times faster than his axe swing.

Continuing this way, the withered branch would inevitably pierce him completely before his axe could strike the trunk!

"Sss!"

The withered branch stabbed into the snow, while Du Yu flickered away to a hundred meters off.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, even after temporarily leaving the battlefield, the intense sense of crisis still enveloped his mind.

Void Axe: "Master."

"Huh?"

Void Axe: "This is the true divine entity of the Twin Tree Realm, the core of the Twin Trees."

Du Yu suppressed the shuddering in his heart and didn’t respond.

Void Axe: "When we previously flattened the Bottomless, regardless of whether it was the helping Divine Tree or the Youhan Tree we chopped, they were branches."

Upon hearing this, Du Yu frowned deeply.

Void Axe: "Do not apply the sensory, reactive, speed, and other abilities of a branch to the core.

Neither Youhan Tree nor Twin Trees, their branches and the core aren’t even on the same level of existence."

Du Yu remained silent, gazing at the stationary Kunlun Divine Tree.

After a long pause, he murmured, "Round two."

Void: "..."

"Whoosh~" Du Yu’s silhouette, like a phantom, disappeared once more.

When he returned to the west side of the Kunlun Divine Tree, sure enough, another withered branch stabbed from above.

Du Yu was prepared. Though he swayed the Void Axe with all his might, he did not intend to make a move here.
