God Emperor

In the past, Xianji Mountain only had a single main peak, and the blue palace was built upon that peak.

Now, however, Xianji Mountain had five peaks about the same height, and the Saint Qi of heaven and earth were abundant. The divinity on its grounds had clearly been awakened.

“The Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk should not have been taken away that easily.” Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

Immediately, he used his spiritual power and entered the Qiankun realm as he said. “Senior Tree, can you perceive where the tree trunk is at?”

The Divine Sky-connecting Trees branches gently shook as it released a strange energy out of the Qiankun Realm.

This energy was so subtle than even a Supreme Saint may not be able to detect it.

A moment a later, that power returned to the Qiankun Realm and the Divine Sky-connecting Tree spoke. “The tree trunk is underground and there is a power that is isolating it, so much so that I can only vaguely perceive it.”

“Underground?”

A surprised look appeared on Zhang Ruochens face.

However, he was relieved that the trunk had not been taken away by the Deathkin.

Legend has it that there is a treasure being bred inside the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk, which may involve the mystery of godhood, thus it must no be allowed to fall into the hands of the Deathkin.

Using the Dimensional Shift, Zhang Ruochen quietly dove underground.

The underground of Xianji Mountain was vast, empty space. Inside it was filled with an incomparably potent evil Qi of death, and was very suffocating.

Guided by the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, Zhang Ruochen very quickly locked onto the tree trunks location.

An altar entered Zhang Ruochens sight. It was massive with its diameter spanning more than three hundred feet. The altar was engraved with countless of arcane runes, unleashing a mysterious power as it absorb the Qi of the land.

There was a five hundred-foot-tall Shadow of Death that could be clearly seen at the center of the altar. It held a death scythe, with a shiny bracelet on its wrist. All twelve beads were as solid as it could be.

As more and more Qi of the land was absorbed, the Shadow of Death became more and more solid, and there was still signs of it growing.

In contrast, the Shadow of Death the Blackflame General had conjured was too weak, and was less than a percent of its strength.
