Chapter 1886: The Invincible Divine Tree
“Whoosh!”
A swift strike was launched by the nascent shoot, its tip flashing with verdant light as it began to envelop the Yin Yang Saintess.
At this precise moment, the Yin Yang Saintess seemed to grasp the precariousness of her situation. A reflexive glance behind her revealed an intricately woven branch materializing from the Void, intent on her. Instantly, a frigid smirk graced her lips.
With a mere exertion of will, a corona of Lifebound Flames of Supreme Power ignited, consuming her form.
These Lifebound Flames were exceptionally potent. Even adversaries of supreme might would need to exercise caution, as any injury inflicted by these flames would harbor a latent peril.
The Yin Yang Saintess perceived the power within the branch and shoot as unexceptional, yet she still committed her full might to the defense.
After all, the sudden appearance of this tender shoot was unsettling; even as a Supreme Expert, she couldn't fathom how this luxuriant branch had approached her undetected, lending an unnerving quality to the encounter.
With the principle of fire's dominance over wood, and bolstered by her Lifebound Flames, she was confident that any divine skill Chen Nan might employ would be instantly nullified. The moment she unleashed her Lifebound Flames, she ceased giving further thought to the fate of the branch.
Concealed by her white veil, her eyes, fixed on Chen Nan, brimmed with derision.
In less time than it takes to draw a breath, the branch from the Abyss Divine Tree made contact with the Yin Yang Saintess’s Lifebound Flames. These flames, imbued with Supreme Power and the essence of the Yin Yang Dao, possessed a terrifying capacity to annihilate all in their path.
“Sizzle, sizzle!”
A faint, subtle sound echoed around the Yin Yang Saintess, reminiscent of a minuscule worm boring into the earth, or the almost imperceptible friction of ants traversing soil under the cloak of midnight.
The placid demeanor that had previously graced the Yin Yang Saintess’s visage fractured with astonishing speed.
“Impossible, utterly impossible…”
Her exquisite eyes widened, reflecting sheer disbelief, and she promptly retaliated against the Abyss Divine Tree’s branch with the Chaos Sky Silk she wielded.
This accursed branch, of unknown origin, had unceremoniously pierced through her Lifebound Flames. Not only did it emerge unscathed, but as it entered her fiery defense, the Lifebound Flames began to wane with alarming rapidity.
The immutable law dictating fire’s conquest of wood, a cornerstone of the Five Elements, was now utterly subverted.
The Yin Yang Saintess struggled to reconcile this reality, yet the irrefutable evidence unfolded before her. Witnessing her Lifebound Flames' inadequacy against the branch, she elevated her vigilance to an unprecedented level.
The Chaos Sky Silk, an Innate Spiritual Treasure, retained its formidable divine skills even when damaged, possessing the capability to regenerate itself swiftly from catastrophic destruction. Within this very treasure resided a spirit attuned to the harmonies of Heaven and Earth.
In a flash, the Chaos Sky Silk surged forward, attempting to ensnare the branch of the Abyss Divine Tree just as it made contact with her form, aiming to thwart its relentless advance.
Although the Yin Yang Saintess harbored no illusion that the Chaos Sky Silk could wholly negate the branch’s assault, she nonetheless hoped to impede its momentum, thereby creating an opening to harness the Star Power from the Yin Yang Star Plate for a counterattack.
“Puff!”
The impact was decidedly anticlimactic, accompanied by a nearly inaudible sound, as the Chaos Sky Silk disintegrated instantaneously into a fine powder.
Even the formidable power of the Chaos Sky Silk had failed to decelerate the branch's progression in the slightest.
Shock!
Utter, profound shock!
A palpable wave of dread washed over the Yin Yang Saintess, sending an icy tremor down her spine.
“Chen Nan, what manner of treasure is this that you possess, to…”
She projected a divine thought towards Chen Nan, but before it could fully convey her query, a burst of emerald light erupted from the nascent shoot situated at Chen Nan’s brow, swiftly engulfing her transmitted thought.
As this fragment of her consciousness was consumed, she became momentarily frozen in the vast expanse of the Void.
Almost concurrently, the assault from the Abyss Divine Tree finally made solid contact with her being. The starlight that had previously surrounded the Yin Yang Saintess seemed to detonate, scattering outwards in all directions.
The tender shoot collided with the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Star Plate, unleashing an energy wave that fractured the Void of the Death Star Sea, causing the energies between them to surge. The immense power unleashed in that instant annihilated countless smaller celestial bodies, leaving a cascade of debris tumbling through the Void.
Chen Nan stood dumbfounded; while he was aware of the Abyss Divine Tree's formidable prowess, he had never conceived of it possessing such extraordinary might, exuding a supreme aura that dared to challenge Heaven, Earth, and the very air itself.
Beneath the concealing veil, the Yin Yang Saintess's perfectly sculpted features flushed crimson, seemingly on the verge of bleeding through the delicate fabric.
A soft groan escaped the Yin Yang Saintess as she coughed, expelling a small amount of blood from her lips, which stained both her veil and her unadorned garments.
“Cough…”
Her silver teeth were clenched, her Supreme Power instantly surged to its zenith, and the Yin Yang Star Plate unleashed a blinding radiance. Concurrently, the crimson powder of the Chaos Sky Silk rapidly solidified within the Void, restoring its original form in a fleeting instant. These two Innate Spiritual Treasures, one formidable and the other less so, coupled with the Yin Yang Saintess’ divine techniques, relentlessly assaulted the Abyss Divine Tree.
“Yin Yang Saintess, I had assumed your might was formidable, yet you prove surprisingly fragile. Prepare for your demise; in less than fifteen minutes, once your power wanes, I shall capture you alive. Ah, apprehending a Supreme Expert promises immense amusement.”
Chen Nan’s voice boomed, observing the Yin Yang Saintess endure such potent assaults. He discerned she was still unwilling to yield, realizing this was the opportune moment to apply psychological pressure. After all, the duration of the Abyss Divine Tree’s awakening remained an uncertainty.
Should the Yin Yang Saintess’ True Fire retaliate and the Abyss Divine Tree suddenly dissipate, dire repercussions would befall him.
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s taunts, the Yin Yang Saintess’ already taut brows knitted even more intensely. Her gaze flickered, and precisely as the two Innate Spiritual Treasures impacted the Abyss Divine Tree’s branch, a yearning for retreat finally bloomed within her heart. She acknowledged her inability to dismantle the spectral branch.
If she were to truly exhaust her reserves and fall into his grasp, she would sooner embrace death.
“Chen Nan, your transgressions against me today are profound. Mark my words, I shall exact double the vengeance for this insult. Henceforth, you, I, and the Heaven Punishment Alliance shall exist in perpetual enmity.” As the Yin Yang Saintess uttered these words, starlight flared around her form, her outline beginning to waver. The Abyss Divine Tree attempted to ensnare her anew, but with a mere thought from Chen Nan, its branch halted its assault mid-air, playfully coiling in the void.
Chen Nan let out a low chuckle and remarked, “If you earnestly desire a continuation of this confrontation, I have no objection to accompanying you. Are you not a Saintess? I shall have you stripped bare and paraded through the Panlong Star Domain for every passing cultivator to behold. Do you truly believe I lack the capacity for such an act?”
