Chapter 446: 446

"What is that?"

The Guardian of the Eight stared at the space above Qin Chuan’s head with a face full of surprise.

He thought he was seeing things, but he quickly realized it wasn’t an illusion, but a real Divine Tree phantom, hovering over Qin Chuan’s head.

What shocked the Guardian of the Eight was that the Divine Tree phantom, originally only around one meter tall, was growing at a pace visible to the naked eye.

With each bit of growth of the Divine Tree phantom, Qin Chuan’s aura became stronger by the minute.

But that wasn’t the main point; the key was that the Divine Tree phantom was actively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it was channeling the absorbed spiritual energy back to Qin Chuan.

"A treasure beyond compare!"

The Guardian of the Eight didn’t hide the greed in his gaze, his eyes burning with passion. Even in the Ancient Martial World, this level of treasure was among the cream of the crop.

If one possessed this Divine Tree, it would be tantamount to possessing a cultivating holy land that followed its master.

"If I could obtain this Divine Tree, wouldn’t I be defying the heavens? Hahaha..."

The Guardian of the Eight couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

He looked up at the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation above the ninth heaven and then back at Qin Chuan, his eyes flashing with madness.

"The Divine Tree is mine!"

As his words fell, his whole being vanished from the spot, intent on stealing the Divine Tree.

Almost instantly, he rushed in front of Qin Chuan, and sure enough, within the Divine Tree phantom, he saw a young Divine Tree sapling.

"Hahaha..."

The Guardian of the Eight laughed and said, "To obtain it without any effort, hahaha..."

As he spoke, he reached out for the sapling within the phantom.

But at that moment, an incredibly fearsome heavenly might suddenly erupted, engulfing the entire world.

The Guardian of the Eight’s complexion changed drastically as he exclaimed, "The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation is descending!"

He had clearly glanced at the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation before acting. He thought he could snatch the Divine Tree sapling before it fell, only to find that it descended much faster than he expected.

His hand hadn’t even touched the Divine Tree phantom when the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation swept down with a destructive momentum.

Being only at the early stages of the Sovereign Realm, how could he withstand a Heavenly Tribulation of such terrifying power?

At that moment, he felt utterly despondent!

His heart was filled with deep regret. If he had known, he would have waited for the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation to descend before attempting to snatch the Divine Tree sapling.

But now, it was too late for regrets!

Faced with the terrifying Ninth Heavenly Tribulation, he couldn’t muster any thoughts of escape.

Because he was all too aware that he had no chance of escaping, and could only accept being obliterated by the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation.

But just then, Qin Chuan, who had his eyes closed all this while, suddenly opened them.

At the moment he opened his eyes, the Guardian of the Eight became rigid, feeling as if he was standing stark naked before Qin Chuan.

"Scram!"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan shouted furiously and waved his hand. A wild force directly blew the Guardian of the Eight away under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Still in the void, the Guardian of the Eight was completely stunned.

Why did Qin Chuan save him?

Simultaneously, he was shocked by how much Qin Chuan’s strength had increased?

The tribulation was not yet over, but Qin Chuan had swept him away with a wave of his hand, leaving him without the slightest resistance.

At that moment, numerous questions surfaced in his mind.

"Boom crackle!"

Just then, the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation struck down upon Qin Chuan. With a thunderous roar, the entire Cloud Summit Mountain shook violently, and countless rocks tumbled down the cliffs.

From afar, Cloud Summit Mountain seemed as if it had been hit by a nuclear blast, the blinding light of the Heavenly Tribulation impossible to gaze at directly.

Once the Guardian of the Eight stabilized himself, he saw that the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation had completely fallen upon Qin Chuan.

At that moment, a young figure stood atop the ruins of Cloud Summit Mountain, his body wreathed in electric light.

It was naturally Qin Chuan, who, at that time, resembled a charred corpse, motionless.

The Guardian of the Eight stared motionlessly at Qin Chuan, fearful of missing even a single moment.

"Dead?"

After a long while, the Guardian of the Eight finally spoke in astonishment.

For he sensed a trace of life amidst that charred figure.

The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation had already destroyed his entire physical body, how could he possibly still be alive?

But just then, a shadow of the Divine Tree appeared above Qin Chuan’s head.

"The Divine Tree!"

The Guardian of the Eight was overjoyed, having thought that the Divine Tree had perished along with Qin Chuan, only to find it still existed.

The shadow of the Divine Tree hovered above Qin Chuan’s head, as Spiritual Energy from all directions crazily surged into it.

"Boom!"

The spot where Qin Chuan was located, within a one-meter radius, turned directly into a sea of Spiritual Energy.

One could say that Qin Chuan was completely immersed in the Liquid Spiritual Energy, transformed from Spiritual Energy.

Madness filled the Guardian of the Eight’s eyes as he clenched his teeth and said, "The Divine Tree is mine!"

He had already crushed the Jade Token, and it wouldn’t be long before the powerhouses from the Guardian Hall arrived, at which point he would have no chance to monopolize the Divine Tree.

Therefore, he must acquire the Divine Tree before the powerhouses from the Guardian Hall arrived!

Without the slightest hesitation, he charged towards Qin Chuan.

"Ah!"

But just as he reached out into the shadow of the Divine Tree, a terrifying corrosive force instantly destroyed the hand that had touched the shadow.

The Guardian of the Eight immediately retreated in shock, staring at his now missing right hand, his face full of despair.

"What on earth is this treasure?"

The Guardian of the Eight, filled with frustration, roared, "I am a Sovereign Realm powerhouse, so why don’t I even have the qualification to touch the Divine Tree? Why? WHY?"

However, the Divine Tree paid him no attention, continuing to frantically absorb the Spiritual Energy of this world, then pouring it into the Liquid Spiritual Energy enveloping Qin Chuan.

At this moment, the entire Yandu fell silent.

The flashes of lightning in the sky had disappeared, the black clouds had receded, revealing the azure sky.

"Is it over?"

At Battle Domain Headquarters, the Great Elder looked toward the direction of Cloud Summit Mountain, almost trembling as he murmured to himself.

He didn’t know who had ultimately won, but he knew that no matter who it was, it would be a heavy loss for the Battle Domain.

He wished he could personally go to Cloud Summit Mountain to investigate, but he also knew that it was not the time yet, and he could only wait.

The Purple-robed Taoist among the people from various realms, who had already retreated thousands of meters away, glanced at Song Yan, who was still in a state of cultivation, and let out a sigh of relief.

He took a swig from his wine gourd, looked in the direction of Cloud Summit Mountain, and murmured to himself, "The rest is up to you to sort out."

After saying that, he turned and left.

At the peak of Cloud Summit Mountain, the Guardian of the Eight struggled to bear the pain of his missing right hand and glared fiercely in the direction of Qin Chuan, saying, "You’re already dead and still you caused me such grievous injury. I will avenge this loss of my hand on you; since you’re dead, I’ll just have to find someone related to you to settle the score!"

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the sound of something shattering echoed.

The Guardian of the Eight whirled around, only to see cracks forming on the charred corpse that had been immersed in the Liquid Spiritual Energy.

As the "crack" sounds continued, more and more cracks appeared on the charred corpse.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the Liquid Spiritual Energy burst out in all directions.

And in the spot where the charred corpse had been, a flawless body appeared.

An overwhelming pressure burst forth from this body, taking one’s breath away.

The Guardian of the Eight shook uncontrollably, his face filled with fear as his eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan opened his eyes, and his calm, tranquil gaze fell on the Guardian of the Eight. He asked in a cold voice, "Whom are you seeking revenge from?"
