Time flowed.
At a certain moment, at the end of the Xuanhuang Ancient Road.
Suddenly, a vast Qi circulated, and the power of Law seemed to turn into a great wave, surging from the end of the Ancient Road.
Vaguely, all the Prodigies in Heaven and Earth City could see it.
At the end of the Ancient Road, there seemed to be an infinitely vast Ancient Tree, propping up the heavens, almost like a world expanding.
"That is... the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree!"
Many Prodigies stood on the city wall of Heaven and Earth City, looking at that boundless Sacred Tree.
The Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree was the Sacred Tree of the Xuanhuang Universe.
The xuanhuang creation fruit that grew on it was a well-known great Opportunity in the Xuanhuang Universe.
This fruit was not something that could be produced easily.
It required the tempering of time and the absorption of the Origin power of the Xuanhuang Universe.
It could be said that for these Prodigies, it was an extremely precious Opportunity.
"The Two Realms' struggle is about to begin, and this will be the greatest Opportunity for the Prodigies of our realm!"
A group of Xuanhuang Universe Prodigies could no longer hold back.
Their figures directly soared into the Void Realm.
Mu Xuan and Yun Luoluo also appeared.
Mu Xuan looked left and right, and finally saw Yi Cangyue appear.
"Cangyue..."
Mu Xuan greeted her.
However, Yi Cangyue did not respond, her expression cold.
Mu Xuan gave an awkward smile.
But he didn't mind too much.
He knew Yi Cangyue's personality, and she was probably sulking now.
After a while, once she adjusted, it would be fine.
And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao also appeared.
"Young Master Yu..."
Yi Cangyue directly walked to Jun Xiaoyao's side.
Mu Xuan's eye twitched slightly when he saw this.
In addition, Huo Feng, Floating Tu Yan, and others also appeared.
"You actually made it here too?"
Floating Tu Yan looked at Huo Feng, his expression filled with cold killing intent.
The humiliation of being defeated by Huo Feng seemed vivid in his mind.
"Hmph, Floating Tu Yan, I'm surprised you could make it here too," Huo Feng sneered.
He and Floating Tu Yan had a grudge.
But he also knew from Jun Xiaoyao that Floating Tu Yan's end was already sealed.
So Huo Feng was too lazy to argue with Floating Tu Yan any further.
He didn't need to argue with a dead man.
"Hmph," Floating Tu Yan also snorted coldly.
Huo Feng sneered in his heart: "You are merely a chess piece in the Young Master's hands, destined to be discarded."
"But I am the Young Master's most loyal subordinate."
Huo Feng now completely placed himself in a subordinate position to Jun Xiaoyao.
And at this moment, Tai Xu Little Heavenly King, radiating divine light, carried an awe-inspiring majesty.
His gaze collided with Mu Xuan's in the Void Realm, seemingly sparking.
However, neither of them said much.
It was clear that in this situation, anything said would be superfluous.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many Prodigies also set off, soaring into the air, advancing towards the deepest part of the Xuanhuang Ancient Road.
...
Deep within the Xuanhuang Ancient Road.
Mist hung thick, and star trails revolved.
Space was vast and boundless, with endless star rivers.
Chaos Qi permeated, like vast clouds, spreading throughout the Universe Void Realm.
And right in the depths of this mysterious and vast Universe.
A Sacred Tree grew between heaven and earth.
It was like a pillar supporting heaven and earth, and also like a bridge connecting the Vast Expanse of the Universe.
Its branches crisscrossed like coiling Dragons, and its leaves were broad, as if supporting ancient worlds.
This didn't look like a tree at all; it looked like a silent deity, overlooking the Xuanhuang Universe.
Many Prodigies present were seeing the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree for the first time.
Their eyes were filled with unparalleled awe.
And what amazed them even more was not just the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree itself.
But the fruits growing on the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree.
Each of those fruits was golden-orange, as if cast from gold, with a mysterious Dao flowing within them.
They were precisely the xuanhuang creation fruit!
A single xuanhuang creation fruit was enough to allow a Prodigy to undergo a complete transformation and advance further.
And now, the xuanhuang creation fruit growing on the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree, roughly counted, numbered around several dozen.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly not-too-small quantity.
One must know that the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree, after absorbing the Origin power of the Xuanhuang Universe for such a long time, only produced these few dozen fruits.
Their preciousness was beyond doubt.
Jun Xiaoyao also looked at the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree, his expression indifferent.
Having the World Tree.
He felt nothing special about this Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree, or at least, no great surprise.
The World Tree was the ancestor of all trees.
Even this Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree of the Xuanhuang Universe was far from comparable to it.
However...
What Jun Xiaoyao was slightly concerned about was not the xuanhuang creation fruit, but the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree itself.
He could feel that the World Tree in his Inner Universe was slightly trembling its leaves, seemingly reacting.
"Could it be..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.
Could it be that the most essential and precious part of this Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree was not the xuanhuang creation fruit?
Jun Xiaoyao speculated in his heart, thinking it was possible.
And at this moment, the other Prodigies, impatient, began to rush towards the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree.
"Heh... a group of ignorant ants, how could the xuanhuang creation fruit be so easy to pick?" Tai Xu Little Heavenly King sneered.
And at this moment, on the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree, dense, firefly-like points of light suddenly appeared.
Upon closer inspection, humanoid figures emerged within those clusters of light.
"They are the Sacred Tree Spirits guarding the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree."
A green-dressed woman, her eyes sparkling, said.
This woman had green eyes and even green hair.
Around her, the Law of Wind circulated.
Her name was Wind Spirit Child, and like Bone Spirit Child, whom Jun Xiaoyao had killed in the Bone Land earlier, she came from the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan, one of the Five Great Holy Clans.
And now, these Sacred Tree Spirits that appeared, to some extent, bore some resemblance to the beings of the Ancestral Spirit Holy Clan.
This was also a difficult challenge.
In an instant, the Prodigies of the Xuanhuang Universe clashed with the Sacred Tree Spirits, engaging in battle.
These Sacred Tree Spirits were all extremely strong.
Most importantly, there were many of them.
It could be said that without absolute strength, it would be difficult to break out of the Sacred Tree Spirits' encirclement.
Of course, for a very small number of Prodigies, this was not a difficult task.
For example, Mu Xuan, Yun Luoluo, Tai Xu Little Heavenly King, Yi Cangyue, Huo Feng, Floating Tu Yan, and other Prodigies.
They were all rapidly breaking out of the Sacred Tree Spirits' encirclement.
As for Jun Xiaoyao...
He did not make a move, casually shifting his steps, his figure soaring into the Void Realm.
When those Sacred Tree Spirits sensed him, they all showed human-like reverence.
The reason was simple.
Because Jun Xiaoyao secretly released a wisp of the World Tree's aura.
Sacred Tree Spirits were spiritual life forms derived from the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree.
But the World Tree's Rank was higher than the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree's.
So those Sacred Tree Spirits naturally dared not attack Jun Xiaoyao, and even felt an instinctive reverence.
Other Prodigies also began to break through the encirclement.
Of course, only a very small number of Prodigies could quickly break through the Sacred Tree Spirits' blockade.
Mu Xuan, Yun Luoluo, Yi Cangyue, Tai Xu Little Heavenly King, Huo Feng, Floating Tu Yan, Wind Spirit Child, and a very small number of other Prodigies broke through first.
However, seeing the white-robed figure walking at the very front, all these people were stunned.
"What is his true identity, after all?" Tai Xu Little Heavenly King frowned.
He didn't expect Jun Xiaoyao to be the first to break through the encirclement.
A hint of coldness flashed in Floating Tu Yan's eyes.
It was this White-robed Young Master who had injured him earlier and saved Yi Cangyue from his hands.
"Young Master Yu..." Yi Cangyue's eyes were bright.
She knew that Jun Xiaoyao was fully capable of reaching this point.
Mu Xuan, however, frowned slightly.
Because of Yi Cangyue, he had no good feelings for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Everyone, coming here isn't the end yet, look..."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly, pointing a hand towards the roots of the Heaven and Earth Sacred Tree.
Everyone looked and frowned deeply.
