Wu Shattered Star River

“Chi la~”

The Divine Tree began to attack again. A branch ripped through the sky and disappeared, only to strike a Barbarian Great Commander in the next moment.

As expected, another Great Commander was torn to pieces and exploded into a cloud of blood.

“Withdraw!”

Gu Ji's deep voice rang out. The Barbarian Great Commanders were already terrified and retreated rapidly. Gu Ji waved his hand, leading all the Great Commanders to slowly retreat.

The Barbarian army below followed, rushing onto the warships, which quickly retreated.

“The Barbarians are retreating?”

“We won!”

Many soldiers were overjoyed, countless people wept with joy, hugging each other and cheering.

Some Divine Realm experts also showed joy, but Xuan Yuan Yijian and the others did not, instead staring at Gu Ji and his group as they slowly retreated.

Many Divine Realm experts reacted. They realized that Gu Ji and his group had not completely withdrawn, but had only retreated a hundred miles and stopped, with countless huge warships suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the three Supreme Sovereigns became extremely ugly. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bitterness.

“Hehe!”

Gu Ji, on the leading warship, sneered and said, "This wondrous tree needs to consume a great deal of its origin to manifest a battle form. It cannot maintain it for long."

“We'll continue to attack when its battle form disappears. If it manifests, we'll retreat immediately. The Divine Tree is immobile and cannot attack too far!”

Gu Ji was knowledgeable and experienced. He was not afraid of the Divine Tree at all after it appeared. The Divine Tree's attack power was indeed good, comparable to a ninth-level Peeping Dao expert.

However, the Divine Tree had a fatal flaw: it could not move, and each manifestation required a large amount of its origin.

The Divine Tree could not attack too many times, which is why the Divine Tree is the foundation of the Human race.

The Human race rarely uses this foundation because each use diminishes it.

The foundation is only for deterrence. It is not an invincible existence. Otherwise, the Human race would have swept through the three races and unified the Star Dust Realm long ago with this Divine Tree.

“It's over…”

The three Supreme Sovereigns exchanged glances, their hearts sinking to the bottom. Originally, they wanted to use the Human race's foundation to deter the Barbarians.

But they didn't expect the Barbarian commander to see through the essence of the Divine Tree at a glance. Their retreat of a hundred miles said a lot.

The Divine Tree's attack range was exactly a hundred miles!

The cheers of the soldiers below gradually disappeared as they saw the Barbarian army only retreating a hundred miles.

Many people's eyes showed apprehension, glancing at the Divine Tree in the sky from time to time, and then at the Barbarian warships in the north.

“Don't just stand there, heal yourselves! The great battle will soon begin again!”

Ma Qianjun glanced at the faces of the three Supreme Sovereigns and roared at the warriors around him.

Many Human Earth Immortals followed with deep shouts, ordering the injured warriors to heal and arranging for people to take the seriously injured warriors down.

The Human Divine Realm experts gathered behind the three Supreme Sovereigns, some casting their gazes towards the distant Divine Tree and beginning to transmit messages to inquire about the situation.

“咻!”

Three figures flew up from below: Si Wujian, the Underworld King, and Ji Fanyan.

All three flew towards Si Li. Si Wujian brought the Underworld King to check on Si Li's soul.

Ji Fanyan, seeing how strong Si Li was, wanted to get closer and continue his pursuit.

Si Li's memories had been cleansed and sealed. She didn't recognize anyone, staring blankly at Si Wujian and the Underworld King, eventually turning her gaze to Si Wujian.

“Xiao Li'er!”

Si Wujian's eyes were a little moist, filled with pride and a strange sense of sadness. He pursed his lips and said, “I am your grandfather.”

“Grand… grandfather?”

Si Li hesitated for a moment, her eyes still somewhat blank, and said nothing.

Ji Fanyan leaned over, a smile on his face, and said, “Si Li, I am Ji Fanyan. I heard that your soul has been cleansed. Do you remember me?”

Si Li glanced at Ji Fanyan indifferently, and directly ignored him.

She turned her gaze back to Si Wujian and said, “Are you really my grandfather? I don't remember you, but I feel like you should be… my family!”

“Mm!”

Si Wujian nodded. The battle was not over yet, and it was indeed not the time to restore her memories.

Seeing that Si Li ignored him, Ji Fanyan brazenly said again, “Si Li, you really don't recognize me? We were good friends before!”

Si Li finally replied, coldly looking at Ji Fanyan and saying, “I don't recognize you. Your aura makes me feel very… disgusted!”

“Uh…”

Ji Fanyan's face became extremely ugly. Many Divine Realm experts nearby cast their gazes over, and Lan Lin's lips revealed an undisguised smile.

“咻!”

Ji Fanyan had no face to stay, and his body flew down, rushing into the army below.

Half an hour later, the phantom of the Divine Tree in mid-air suddenly flashed and disappeared. Xuan Yuan Yijian shouted, “Prepare for battle!”

“咻!”

Sure enough, on the distant warship, Gu Ji waved his hand, and more than eighty Divine Realm experts flew over again.

This time, the Barbarian army did not move, only the Divine Realm experts went into battle.

“Si Wujian, Underworld King, you retreat first!”

Lan Lin waved his hand, and Si Wujian and the Underworld King hurriedly flew down. Both were only Earth Immortal Realm experts, and they could not participate in this level of battle.

“轰轰轰!”

The fierce battle began again. The Barbarians had been killed by the Divine Tree just now, and they were holding back their anger, becoming even more brutal in their attacks.

As expected, the Human Divine Realm experts were quickly at a disadvantage and were suppressed due to the disparity in numbers. Three weaker Divine Realm experts were soon seriously injured…

Because the Barbarian soldiers did not move, the Human army could only guard the mountains below, looking up at the fierce battle in the sky.

Ordinary soldiers might not be able to see anything, but those Earth Immortals and Void Breaking Realm experts could analyze the situation.

Inside a large mountain, He Ming, the Iron-Eating Beast, Gu Qingtian, the Half-Divination Immortal, and others from Heavenly Chaos City were here, nervously watching the battle in the sky, especially paying attention to Lan Lin's situation.

After watching for a while, when they saw Lan Lin being knocked back with blood several times by the Barbarian experts, and many Human Divine Realm experts were injured, Gu Qingtian's face turned pale.

He looked at He Ming and said, “Chief Steward, the situation is not good. The Human race's foundation cannot be used many times. If this continues, we will be finished sooner or later…”

He Ming's back became even more hunched. He sighed slightly, but said nothing.

The Iron-Eating Beast next to him bared his teeth, staring at the sky, as if he wanted to rush up and fight alongside Lan Lin.

Gu Qingtian watched the battle in mid-air for a moment, and seemed to remember something. He turned his gaze to the Half-Divination Immortal and asked, “Immortal, perform a divination to predict good or bad luck, and see if our Human race can survive this tribulation?”

The Half-Divination Immortal smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, “Such a great heavenly secret, related to the fate of billions of living beings, how can I calculate it?”

Having said that, the Half-Divination Immortal still took out his divination plate and casually deduced it.

After a moment, the Half-Divination Immortal's divination plate suddenly vibrated slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Then, his eyes revealed a boundless brilliance, and he shouted, “Chief Steward, Old Gu, protect me!”

“唰唰唰~”

He Ming and the others were alarmed, and all turned their gazes towards the Half-Divination Immortal.

The Half-Divination Immortal ignored everything and sat down on the spot, taking out his divination plate and beginning to perform a divination.

After a moment, his divination plate vibrated violently again, the runes on it constantly swimming, lighting up with colorful light.

Everyone nervously stared at the Half-Divination Immortal, their eyes filled with expectation. Could it be that there was an anomaly in this great tribulation of the Human race?

A full half-incense stick of time passed before the Half-Divination Immortal finally opened his eyes, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He looked at the countless pairs of eyes staring at him, stood up abruptly, turned his gaze to the north, and said with a trembling voice, “He's back, Young Master… he's back!”

“Young Master?”

A look of confusion appeared in the eyes of He Ming and the others. Then, He Ming's old body trembled, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, “Immortal, do you mean… the Young City Lord is back?”
