King Of Chaos

Chapter 404 Ch 404: The Dao Tree

?Elder Xu's head had been severed from his body, yet he remained alive. An eerie atmosphere enveloped the scene as the severed head began to speak, proclaiming, "You can't kill me. I have the protection of the Dark God. Even if you destroy my body, my soul is eternal. Only a Master of Chaos could obliterate another Master of Chaos's soul."

The headless body of Elder Xu bent down and retrieved the severed head, placing it back on his neck. Dark Energy manifested like a long and slender thread, gradually weaving the severed neck with the headless body.

Ling Xiaolong was surprised to witness this scene.

When he pierced Elder Xu's chest and severed his neck, he felt that the battle was over. He did not expect to come across a situation like this.

"Is that so!"

Hearing Elder Xu's words, Ling Xiaolong 's eyes flashed with a strange light. Looking directly into Elder Xu's eyes, he chuckled, "Then let me try again. I want to see whether I could destroy your soul or not. I want to see how the Dark God's protection will protect you from me!"

"Soul Destruction!"

Elder Xu wanted to laugh at Ling Xiaolong for thinking that he could kill someone who was under the protection of the Dark God.

Previously, he was terrified for many reasons and could not think straight. As a Master of Chaos, he was never put in a situation where his life was threatened, so he had almost forgotten that his soul was protected by the Dark God. Even if his body is destroyed, his soul will be reborn.

It was only after his head was severed by Ling Xiaolong did he remember everything, and heaved a heartfelt relief.

Now that he heard Ling Xiaolong's words, Elder Xu wanted to mock him. However, before he could do that, he felt an extremely powerful foreign Soul Force invading his soul and crushing it into smithereens.

That was all he felt before his consciousness disappeared. He died just like that.

No matter how formidable Masters of Chaos may be, and irrespective of the protection they have, if their soul is not stronger than Ling Xiaolong's, none can withstand the power of Ling Xiaolong's ability to obliterate souls.

Ling Xiaolong glanced at Elder Xu's lifeless body and emitted a cold snort. The battle was over. Having killed a Master of Chaos for the first time, he couldn't deny feeling a sense of pride.

"Is it time?"

Ling Xiaolong looked at his domain and muttered. It was time to withdraw his Celestial Domain.

However, before he could do this, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his left hand.

Glancing down, Ling Xiaolong was surprised to see the Infinity Symbol glowing on the back of his left hand.

The Infinity Symbol was a treasure on the same level as the Lotus of Chaos. It stood as the second treasure of Heavenly Mystery, born from the Lotus of Chaos that gave rise to the incomplete Chaos.

Qin Feng was the original owner of this symbol.

After the fusion with Qin Feng, Ye Xiao, now Ling Xiaolong, acquired the Infinity Symbol.

This was the first time the Infinity Symbol had exhibited such a reaction.

The burning sensation grew stronger and stronger, and in the next second, the image of a huge tree appeared behind Ling Xiaolong's back. This was not the image of the Tree of Chaos, it was a different tree. It was just an image, but when Ling Xiaolong turned, he could feel a very different, completely foreign Dao.

"Eyes of Insight!"

Initially confused, Ling Xiaolong found clarity when he subconsciously activated the Eyes of Insight. The image of the tree before him became vivid, and he could discern countless runes covering every part of the tree, exuding an otherworldly aura. Moreover, the Dao emanating from this tree bore no resemblance to the 108 Rules of Chaos; instead, it resembled the 3,000 Laws of a Source Universe.

"The Dao Tree!"

Ling Xiaolong muttered. Memories of this tree were ingrained in the recollections of Qin Feng that he acquired through fusion.

This tree had made an appearance in the second universe. Upon its discovery, it was swallowed by the Infinity Symbol. Following that, it never surfaced again.

Yet, here it was, it appeared before him once more today. contemporary romance

The question was, why did this tree appear? What is the reason?

Ling Xiaolong soon received his answer as he saw the runes on the Tree glowing resplendantly. The next moment, a few roots covered in divine runes grew out below the corpse of Elder Xu and wrapped around it.

Shua~

The roots, after completely binding Elder Xu's dead body, suddenly pulled the corpse, disappearing into the void.

"Umh?"

Ling Xiaolong frowned in confusion, but his confused state did not last long.

An instant after Elder Xu's corpse vanished, the glow on the Dao Tree diminished, and it soon disappeared along with the tree itself. The burning sensation Ling Xiaolong was experiencing also faded away.

The tree was never physically present to begin with; it appeared merely as an image, akin to a shadow. Without the Eyes of Insight, Ling Xiaolong wouldn't have been able to discern the nature of the tree's image.

Ling Xiaolong tried to feel something, hoping for changes to appear on his body. However, no changes were visible enough for him to detect. Everything was just like before.

"What is going on?"

Ling Xiaolong frowned. He could not understand the reason why the tree appeared and took away the corpse of Elder Xu. Nothing like this had happened before.

Ling Xiaolong tried to contact the Infinity Symbol, only to be disappointed. He did not obtain any satisfactory results.

Shaking his head, Ling Xiaolong diverted his mind. Looks like it was not that important matter, otherwise, he would have at least felt something.

Throwing his thoughts at the back of his mind, Ling Xiaolong finally withdrew the Celestial Domain.

.....

Outside the Celestial Domain, several people were waiting. They all want to know who the winner of this battle is.

Other than guards, Sun Qi, and Zhu Yujin, Lin Weiwei and Elder Mo were also present.

Initially, everyone presumed that Elder Xu would emerge victorious. After all, Elder Xu was a Master of Chaos, while Ling Xiaolong was merely a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos at the Seventh Stage.

They anticipated a swift conclusion in Elder Xu's favor.

However, as time passed, the Celestial Domain persisted. Neither Elder Xu nor Ling Xiaolong came out.

Doubts began to creep into their initial assumptions.

Why was the Celestial Domain still intact?

Elder Xu should have triumphed by now, shattering the Celestial Domain. Why had nothing of the sort happened?

Everyone was confused, including Sun Qi and Lin Weiwei.

None of them harbored even the tiniest bit of confidence in Ling Xiaolong. Everyone had the same perspective of thinking: 'In a battle between a Celestial Sovereign and a Master of Chaos, the winner will always be a Master of Chaos.'

Then what is the reason Elder Xu was not coming out?

Amidst their utter confusion, a crackling sound suddenly echoed through the air. They all bore witness to a sight they had been eagerly awaiting.

Several spiderweb-like cracks manifested on the Celestial Domain, as if it were on the brink of shattering.

However, that was the extent of it. No further changes occurred after the appearance of the cracks.

This yet once again puzzled everyone deeply.

"There's no need for further contemplation. Elder Xu is undoubtedly the victor. How could a Celestial Sovereign triumph against a Master of Chaos? Mark my words, Elder Xu must have been toying with that rascal. That's the only reason why so much time has passed. If Elder Xu wanted, the battle would have concluded long ago!"

Zhu Yujin snorted coldly, voicing his opinion while casting a disdainful glance at the guards. He also darted a look at Lin Weiwei.

Had it not been for Sun Qi's presence, he would have approached Lin Weiwei, seized her hand, and demanded an explanation for her association with Ling Xiaolong. What did Ling Xiaolong possess that she found appealing and he lacked?

No one spoke anything, but it doesn't mean they disagree with Zhu Yujin's words.

Indeed, that must be the case. Elder Xu must have been playing with Ling Xiaolong. Otherwise, the battle would have ended as soon as it began.

It was at this time, the Celestial Domain suddenly disappeared.

This...

Everyone's eyes widened when Ling Xiaolong appeared at the original place of the Celestial Domain. Traces of blood adorned his body, including his face and clothes, yet he did not appear severely injured.

On the other hand, Elder Xu was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Elder Xu?"

A bad feeling rose in Zhu Yujin's heart, he just did not dare to trust his gut feelings.

Others were the same when they did not see Elder Xu. They all wanted to know where Elder Xu had gone.

"Elder Xu..." Ling Xiaolong coldly smiled at Zhu Yujin, nonchalantly replying, "He is dead. I killed him. Not even his corpse is left for you to conduct the funeral."
