Noticing the barely perceptible glint of greed in the Barbarian King’s eyes, Yu Zi Yu could not help but smile. Only, the smile was cold.
For some reason, even someone as powerful as the Barbarian King could not help but shudder, a chill rising from his feet.
“Huh!?” Suspicious and curious, the Barbarian King looked towards the Giant Tree shrouded in the white mist not far away.
Although the mist obscured vision, the mere 200-300 meters of distance made no difference to the Barbarian King.
However, at this moment, his eyes promptly narrowed, for in his gaze, countless Roots rose from the ground.
These Roots intertwined and wove together, as a slender figure silently emerged from the mist in the blink of an eye.
“Haha…” Seeing this, the Barbarian King could not help but laugh and ask in a mocking manner, “Do beings like you also believe in the idea that the Human Form is the Dao Body mandated by Heaven?”
“Of course not.” Shaking his head slightly, the slender figure in the mist slowly approached, as Yu Zi Yu casually explained, “I just find it more convenient to converse with you in this form.”
As he spoke, the slender figure dissipated again, turning back into thousands of Roots.
At the same time, the thick trunk of Yu Zi Yu’s true form began to writhe.
In a moment, a lifelike, giant face emerged on the Tree Trunk, staring directly at the Barbarian King.
“If you prefer, I can be like this too.”
*Hmph…* Seeing Yu Zi Yu’s attitude, the Barbarian King could not help but arrogantly smile and ask, “So, you agree to come back with me and become our Clan’s Holy Relic?”
While speaking, the Barbarian King lifted the menacing club in his hand, his threat unmistakable.
However, the next second, the Barbarian King was disappointed, because at that moment, he saw only cold indifference on the giant face, a deep and profound indifference.
In that indifference, there was not even a trace of disdain.
In that fleeting moment, it seemed that the Barbarian King was not even worthy of a direct glance.
This nearly dismissive attitude made the Barbarian King tighten his grip on the toothed club.
*Crack, crack…* The Barbarian King’s veins bulged, and cracking sound echoed from the club, seemingly unable to bear his strength.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly echoed within the mist, “Do you know, I’ve always wondered if there’s a possibility for us to coexist peacefully. But now, I’ve realized… aside from using force to suppress, it seems I have no other way. Not just you, but even the Humans and Mutant Beasts look at me with such greed and disgust, as if they can’t wait to tear me apart… Sometimes, I wonder if I’m too cruel, instigating wars again and again. But now I think, if I don’t take action, and you grow stronger, won’t you all eventually unite against me?”
Listening quietly, the Barbarian King could not help but sneer and stated, “Haven’t you realized the root of the problem yet? Your greatest mistake is being a Heaven and Earth Spirit Tree… Your existence is a blatant temptation to any being. Not just us, but even your current subordinates. If one day, you’re gravely injured, how many of your current followers will still stand by you…”
Hearing this, Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. This was something he did not want to think about and something he dared not think about.
In the face of a Supreme Treasure, all emotions could be devoured by greed. Perhaps only Ling Er and Nine Tails would always stay by his side.
*Haaaaa…* Heaving a long, emotional sigh, Yu Zi Yu reaffirmed his understanding of his existence. His fate with countless strong entities in the world was already sealed.
Wealth drove people’s hearts, let alone a naturally born Spirit Tree like him.
The more he cultivated, the greater his allure to the strong.
Yu Zi Yu had no doubt that if he ever attained the Dao, he would face the onslaught of thousands, if not more, powerful experts.
[I see… as I continue to grow, I’m not much different from the Heaven-Connecting Jianmu…] Sighing in his heart, a cold gleam flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.
In the past, he might not have had a solution. But now, with the Void Clan at his disposal, how could he not have a way?
If necessary, he could lead the Void Clan to wage war against the Myriad Races.
All he needed to do was take advantage of the chaos to become Eternal. By then, whether the very Heavens collapsed, or the Earth shattered, he would remain indestructible.
*Huuuuuu…* Yu Zi Yu took a long, deep breath, feeling a sense of relief.
He had no regrets about the two invasions of the continent. It was just that he was lucky and slightly stronger.
If his luck had been worse, his body would have been chopped to pieces and displayed before various powerful experts.
Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes grew colder. A chill filled his gaze as he looked at the Barbarian King.
“Thank you for answering my questions. But now, it’s time for the game to end.” At these whispered words, the Barbarian King’s heart instinctively trembled, an indescribable terror suddenly engulfing him.
*Swoooosh…* A silver streak flashed past his eyes, leaving him no time to react or dodge.
The next moment, the Barbarian King felt a sudden sharp pain coming from his chest. When he looked down, to his horror and disbelief, he saw that a silver Willow Branch, crackling with electricity, had pierced his heart.
“You…” In a voice filled with disbelief, the Barbarian King seemed to realize something, and his face changed dramatically.
“How is it possible… you’ve already reached this stage…”
“There’s nothing impossible about it,” Yu Zi Yu suddenly interrupted in a cold voice.
But then, as if recalling something, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Hurry, use your best move. If you don’t, you’ll never have another chance.”
Yu Zi Yu’s mocking laughter echoed in the void, causing the Barbarian King’s pupils to dilate in horror.
