Chapter 917: Stepping into the Transcendent

Zhou Huai was slightly stunned, then immediately chose to believe Rahil's judgment.

"Leave it to you." Zhou Huai transmitted his voice in his Sea of Consciousness.

Taking advantage of the recoil force from the collision, he rapidly retreated, transforming into a dark gold stream of light and instantly putting a distance of a hundred meters between himself and Mr. Duan's Clone.

The moment he retreated, a trace of deep green flickered at Zhou Huai's fingertips.

He stripped the World Tree Clone, Rahil, out of his body, and under the cover of the violent energy, concealed him in the shadow slightly behind and to the side of the origin sacred tree.

Mr. Duan's Clone stood in place, watching Zhou Huai distance himself, and let out a cold sneer.

"What? My good nephew, are you planning to run away just like that?" Mr. Duan tidied his sleeves, his tone aloof and high-and-mighty.

"I said long ago that you won't be going anywhere today. This sacred tree will be your burial ground."

"Old thing, you talk way too much!"

Zhou Huai gripped the abyssal blood dragon spear tightly with both hands, stomped the Void Realm apart beneath his feet, and charged at Mr. Duan's Clone once more.

"Boom!"

The blood-red light of the abyssal blood dragon spear surged drastically, and a sky full of spear images poured out, instantly sealing off all paths of retreat for Mr. Duan's Clone.

Zhou Huai intentionally controlled the angle of his attacks, guiding the aftermath of the collision in the opposite direction to cover Rahil in the dark as he approached the origin sacred tree.

The two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, and explosive roars constantly echoed through the underground space.

"You dare to take the initiative to attack with just this bit of capability?" Mr. Duan's Clone let out a cold snort, casually tapping with the cane in his hand, shattering the sky-full of spear images.

The moment the cane tapped out, Zhou Huai's gaze narrowed.

He had found the flaw!

"Go!"

Zhou Huai violently swung his left hand, and the dormant abyssal nether chain dashed out with a clatter, tightly entangling the cane in Mr. Duan's Clone's hand, sliding up along it to firmly bind his torso.

"With the same trick, how long do you think you can trap me?" The black High-Dimensional Law surged on the surface of Mr. Duan's Clone, attempting to force open the nether chain.

"Trapping you for one second is enough!"

Zhou Huai directly activated Victor's Law of Space.

"Tear apart!"

Zhou Huai forcibly tore open a huge spatial rift in the nothingness. Pulling on the abyssal nether chain, he used the traction to drag the bound Mr. Duan's Clone headfirst into the rift.

The scene changed abruptly.

The battlefield of the two instantly shifted from the underground sacred tree space to ten thousand meters above the holy city.

High in the sky, without the confinement of the underground space, the Law fluctuations diffused outward without any obstruction.

Zhou Huai fully unleashed the Domain of the Magic God.

"Go to hell!"

The violent violet heaven lightning, the scorching flames of the great sun, and dense spatial blades transformed into a rainstorm of Laws, pouring down toward Mr. Duan's Clone.

Facing such an offensive, Mr. Duan's Clone remained calm.

"Insignificant tricks."

His footsteps did not move, and a black Law halo rippled around his body, directly dissolving the sky-full offensive.

The lightning was devoured, the flames were extinguished, and the spatial blades shattered. The energy around the two collided crazily, and the shockwave completely scattered the clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles.

At this moment, inside the underground space.

Taking advantage of Mr. Duan's Clone being lured away, Rahil arrived directly beneath the origin sacred tree.

He looked up at this colossal entity radiating a sacred light.

An emerald-green halo rippled across Rahil's body, his feet rooted into the black Void Realm, his physique growing taller, and countless crystal-clear, transparent branches extending from his back.

The transparent branches extended upward, precisely docking with the drooping aerial roots of the origin sacred tree.

The moment of connection, two sources of life Origin of the same Origin produced a violent resonance.

Green ripples spread through the underground Void Realm, and the veins of the sacred tree leaves that had previously been suppressed and dimmed lit up one by one.

The black Law chains bound to the tree trunk emitted crisp sounds, and fine cracks appeared on their surfaces.

A low buzzing sound came from the underground space, and the origin sacred tree trembled gently, its sleeping massive consciousness being awakened by Rahil.

Above ten thousand meters in the sky.

Mr. Duan's Clone perceived the unusual fluctuations coming from underground.

"What kind of ghost are you pulling down below?!" Mr. Duan's Clone sternly demanded, the cane in his hand erupting with black light as he fiercely smashed it toward Zhou Huai.

Right at this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Huai's Sea of Consciousness.

"Zhou Huai."

Zhou Huai's spirit shook, and the abyssal blood dragon spear in his hand slowed by half a beat. The cane smashed down, grazing his shoulder and narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

It was Mom. That mother who suffered torment to protect him.

"Zhou Huai, you've finally come." The woman's voice sounded again.

"Mom! I'm here to save you!" Zhou Huai roared in his Sea of Consciousness.

"I sense that you are entangled in battle with Duan's Clone. Hold on, I will help you!"

As her voice fell, the origin sacred tree underground erupted with a blinding, sacred golden light.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The black Law chains bound to the sacred tree shattered inch by inch, turning into black smoke and dissipating. The origin sacred tree completely broke free from its shackles.

The massive life Origin poured out, surging entirely into Rahil's body along the connected transparent branches.

The consciousness and Origin of the two completely merged into one.

Rahil, after the Fusion, opened his eyes, and his aura soared violently. His entire body circulated a halo interwoven with Chaos and life, and ancient Heavenly Dao inscriptions appeared on the surface of his tree body.

His power tier leaped across several steps.

High in the sky, Mr. Duan's Clone felt the out-of-control power below, and his expression changed abruptly.

"Impossible! Who touched my sacred tree Origin!" Mr. Duan's Clone roared, turning around and preparing to tear open space to rush back underground.

"Where do you want to go?!"

Zhou Huai immediately activated Victor's Law of Space, tearing outward with both hands.

A spatial passageway directly pierced through the ten-thousand-meter high altitude and the underground sacred tree space.

"Rahil, come!"

Zhou Huai shouted loudly, instantly summoning the Fusion-completed Rahil up to the high altitude.

A green light flashed. Rahil transformed into a stream of light, directly drilling into Zhou Huai's body.

"Boom——!"

Boundless energy instantly surged through Zhou Huai's entire body.

Zhou Huai raised his head and let out a long roar.

The Fusion body of the origin sacred tree and the World Tree directly rooted and grew deep within his Dantian. The trunk extended along his Meridians to all parts of his body, and his flesh and blood were thoroughly baptized by this high-dimensional life Origin.

Following closely after.

All the Clones inside Zhou Huai's body—such as Yasuo, Gandalf, Victor, and Li Er—completely transformed into Law fruits of various colors.

The purple of lightning, the red of flames, the silver of space, the gold of Karma… These Law fruits hung on the branches of the sacred tree inside Zhou Huai.

Every single fruit continuously transmitted Origin power to Zhou Huai.

"Crack… Crack…"

In Zhou Huai's vision, the data panel that had accompanied him for so long began to crack.

Along with a shattering sound, the data panel completely shattered and dissipated.

All numerical values representing Ranks and attributes entirely transformed into the power of Laws, blending into Zhou Huai's flesh and blood.

A Law Domain automatically formed around his body. Within this Domain, space, time, and elements all moved according to his will, no longer bound by any rules.

Zhou Huai completely cast off the Rank shackles of the current world, officially stepping into the realm of the Transcendent.
