My gorgeous wife Chapter 2356 - 2324: The Eerie Populus Euphratica Divine Tree

Seven Divine Trees.

Their origin remains unknown, as does the era they hail from.

To most civilizations, when their own civilization emerged, the Seven Divine Trees were already present.

Throughout these eras, it’s not that no one has attempted to obtain the Seven Divine Trees, but their strength is never sufficient to make the Seven Divine Trees surrender, or rather, their status is not enough for the Seven Divine Trees to acknowledge them.

And for a divine object like the Seven Divine Trees, even force cannot seize them decisively.

Just as every era has its own supreme treasure, while the power of such treasures is limited, they are indestructible.

Even if a supreme treasure meets its extinction in a short time, as long as the era doesn’t end, it has a chance for self-repair and rebirth.

As an existence with a history even older than supreme treasures, the Seven Divine Trees naturally possess this ability.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the average person simply cannot destroy an existence like the Seven Divine Trees.

Even a Founding Realm powerhouse finds it difficult to do so!

The reason being, unlike supreme treasures that are limited by the identity of an ’instrument’, they, too, belong to a type of living being, but their form of existence is completely different from ordinary living beings.

Being inherently living beings, they possess immensely powerful might.

A Seven Divine Tree in its peak state won’t lose to a Founding Realm powerhouse at all.

In those extremely ancient Great Cosmic Eras, even among the vast worlds formed by hundreds or thousands of large and small universes, the Seven Divine Trees are significant entities.

There have even been cases where a Seven Divine Tree successfully slew a Founding Realm powerhouse.

However, in the Starry Universe, the stories about the Seven Divine Trees have mostly turned into legend.

Across the Starry Universe, only one tree remains, a tree overwhelmed for reasons unknown, hiding in the Ancient Battle Realm to heal—the Eternal World Tree.

At this moment, Li Chen clearly identifies the unique aura belonging to the grade of plant life akin to the Seven Divine Trees from the so-called ’Populus Euphratica Divine Tree’ before him.

"Not right, not a true Seven Divine Tree."

After observing for a while, Li Chen shook his head regretfully.

Indeed not a true Seven Divine Tree, for this Populus Euphratica Divine Tree, though vast and emitting a boundless aura, in comparison to a genuine Seven Divine Tree, the climate and scale are scant.

Frowning, as Li Chen deliberates, a voice from the Seven Realms Tome echoes in his mind: "It could be a remnant branch of a Seven Divine Tree, sprouted and grown to this appearance."

Li Chen contemplated and nodded; perhaps this is the only possibility.

Otherwise, there’s no clear explanation for the aura of a Seven Divine Tree emanating from the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree.

Yet, within Li Chen’s heart, greater hesitance arose.

Could the non-genuine Seven Divine Tree resolve his current predicament?

"Can you discern the source of this tree’s aura, which divine tree it stems from?" Li Chen inquired.

"Well... I am merely the origin foundation of this Starry Sky Era civilization, while the time of the Seven Divine Trees predates me by far, so I cannot make too many judgments." The Seven Realms Tome replied helplessly.

Regarding events of the Starry Sky Era, he knows nearly everything, but before the Starry Sky Era, he knows very little.

Li Chen’s brow furrowed again; without knowing the true identity of the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree, he cannot decide his course of action.

Even though his Divine Soul has reached Dao Saint level, his physical body is nearly exhausted—a slight power shock could directly obliterate his flesh.

As he hesitated, Li Chen suddenly sees a figure nearby leaping across, ready to charge toward the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree.

Seeing Yang Qingling now, her gaze is blank, seemingly losing consciousness, unaware of what she is doing with the divine tree.

"Stop!"

Li Chen’s Soul Sound resonated, shaking within Yang Qingling’s mind.

"Boom!"

A huge sound burst forth in Yang Qingling’s head; she abruptly spewed blood, and pale-faced, retreated with a terrified gaze.

This terror, not only toward the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree but also toward Li Chen.

The Populus Euphratica Divine Tree has unimaginable power; just a glance left her utterly lost.

The white-haired youth beside her is even more unfathomably strong, with just a low shout forcibly injuring her soul and awakening her from the trance.

Despite her cultivation lacking in comparison to Soul Realm, her soul is extremely resilient and half successfully condensed into the Divine Soul!

"This thing isn’t that simple. You can choose to die, but don’t die in front of me." Li Chen spoke apathetically, then withdrew his gaze from Yang Qingling and continued examining the massive Populus Euphratica Divine Tree.

Yang Qingling heard and nodded promptly, not daring to glimpse at the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree anymore, but sat and began healing.

At this moment, she finally understood, relying solely on herself, even if she broke through the Coffin of Deathly Silence’s blockade, she would likely fall here.

Fortunately... fortunately, she decisively followed alongside him.

Ignoring Yang Qingling, Li Chen continued discussing with the Seven Realms Tome.

"Your current condition is quite special; your soul remains strong, but your physical body is nearing exhaustion. To completely restore to peak state, having cultivation alone is insufficient." The Seven Realms Tome analyzed: "The issue of Black Qi must be dealt with. Even if not cleared, it must be suppressed."

"Otherwise, if Black Qi occupies half of your body, when dueling, you will only wield half your strength, rendering your return to the Starry Universe’s final battle nearly useless."

"But no matter what, resolve the body exhaustion first." Li Chen nodded; if he’s not mistaken, this Starry Sky Era’s end battle concerns not merely the true awakening of World-Destroying Beast, but also Era-Ancient Civilization will take advantage of the opportunity.

Though Era-Ancient Civilization suffered severe losses in the Seven Realms era battle, Li Chen doesn’t believe not a single Founding Realm remains now.

If Founding Realm exists, before such an entity able to create minor universes to harbor all beings; whose cultivation exceeds the sky-obscuring level, he, despite being a Dao Saint, would not be of much effect, much less as half-damaged.

Thus, regardless, to partake in the end battle, he must regain full strength.

Even... surpass!

Founding Realm! Sky-obscuring Powerhouse!

It must reach the strength of the Supreme of the Starry Sky from years past, even stronger, to seize the opportunity to reverse the mad torrent.

As it stands, he is still too weak.

Looking up, Li Chen stared at the towering Populus Euphratica Divine Tree, as a mysterious glint flickered in his eyes.
