Mu Lu’s head shrank as she heard this. Although they were both Wood Spirits and were innately close to flowers and trees, if they were really transformed into a small flower or a small tree, it would be unacceptable, not to mention that Yang Kai was a living person.
Mu Zhu comforted him, “Master, don’t panic. Now that you’ve refined the Eternal Tree, you can use it as your body. As long as you cultivate diligently, you may be able to transform into a human in the future. Master must know that there are many flowers and plants in this world that have undergone a long period of cultivation to transform into their true forms. Moreover, the Eternal Tree is a supreme treasure of this world. This is a blessing in disguise. Perhaps when Master transforms into a human, not only will he be able to restore his strength, he will also be able to improve.”
“Good point!” Yang Kai wanted to nod, but he could only swing the Eternal Tree’s branches back and forth, “But you must know that cultivating plants and vegetation is much more difficult than cultivating flesh and blood. No matter how hard I try, if I want to transform into a human form, it will take me a thousand years!”
Mu Zhu was speechless, but just as she was about to speak again, Yang Kai raised his branch and stopped her, “There’s no need to say any comforting words, I’ll find a way to see if I can come out first.”
Saying so, the Eternal Tree fell silent again.
The two Wood Spirits watched from the side, and after a while, the aura of Yang Kai’s Soul came from the Eternal Tree. Immediately after, the Soul power visible to the naked eye flew out from the small tree and transformed back into Yang Kai.
However, at this moment, Yang Kai still had some lingering fear on his face, as if he was deep in thought.
This time, refining and breaking free from the Eternal Tree was unexpectedly easy, as if he hadn’t encountered any obstructions at all, unlike in the past, when he tried several times but failed to find a way in, making him think that the legend was fake.
The biggest difference between now and before was that he had lost his physical body.
In other words, if he wanted to refine the Eternal Tree, he would need to break it down and rebuild it. Only by completely breaking free from the shackles of his physical body could he truly refine the Eternal Tree. In the past, he had his own body, so he did not have the qualifications to refine it.
Thinking so, Yang Kai smiled bitterly. Regardless of whether the legend was true or not, even if someone else obtained the Eternal Tree, who would abandon their own body to refine it?
It was also because of this coincidence that his body had been smashed to pieces and he had no choice but to try it out, but in the end he had succeeded.
If that was the case… Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he sank into contemplation, his eyes gradually lighting up.
At a certain moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, “I’ll go out for a while.”
Saying so, he sent out his Divine Sense and disappeared into the Eternal Tree. A moment later, the Eternal Tree shook its branches and broke out of the medicine garden, its bare branches swaying as it flew out of the Mysterious Small World.
In the void, where the Soul Warming Lotus was, a small tree as tall as a man appeared out of thin air. This was the first time the two World Treasures had met in such a manner. The Soul Warming Lotus had always been stored in Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea, so he had never had such an opportunity before.
Stretching out a branch and wrapping it around the Soul Warming Lotus, the seven colored light enveloped the entire sapling, protecting Yang Kai’s Soul from the influence of the Void Energy.
The small tree, which was as tall as a man, emitted a strong vitality as it flew through the void. Wherever it passed, it seemed to be drawn in by this vitality, causing pieces of flesh and broken limbs to fly in all directions. In a short time, the Eternal Tree was completely wrapped up, and as far as the eye could see, the Eternal Tree quickly disappeared, leaving behind a giant meatball.
This meatball was formed from countless pieces of meat and looked extremely strange, but from the inside of this meatball, a life aura was slowly being born.
Yang Kai was ecstatic!
Unexpectedly, his sudden idea had actually worked. As time passed, the meatball became larger, gradually transforming into a giant monster several hundred meters in diameter.
From the inside of his body, a series of heavy and slow thumping sounds could be heard. As these sounds rose and fell, the entire meatball began to slowly shrink.
At some point, all of the broken pieces of flesh and blood had gathered together, and the meatball was quietly floating in the air. The sound of it hitting the ground was powerful, and from time to time, a large bulge would appear on the surface of the meatball, as if something was trying to break out.
Inside the meatball, Yang Kai felt his entire body overflowing with vitality. The richness of this vitality was unprecedented. The Eternal Tree, which was as tall as a man, seemed to be melting, transforming into pure vitality and fusing into his flesh.
Flesh and blood squirmed as broken limbs regrouped.
Yang Kai soon felt that he had a head, a hand, a body, two legs…
In less than half a day, Yang Kai once again felt his own existence. This was not the existence of his Soul, but a true resurrection. A new feeling lingered in his heart, giving him an indescribable sense of joy.
Stretching out his arms, a loud bang rang out as the giant meatball exploded, revealing a majestic figure!
Closing his eyes to inspect his body, he found that there were no hidden dangers, and his body was in unprecedented good condition. Not only had his physical body been reconstructed, but even the injuries he had suffered during his fight with the Great Demon God had disappeared. Moreover, the vitality in his body was so rich that he couldn’t believe it. He had the Dragon Race’s Source, so his vitality was much more vigorous than others, but compared to his current self, the difference was like the difference between the clouds and mud.
The Eternal Tree had disappeared without a trace and had fused into every inch of his flesh and blood. With a clench of his fist, it seems as if it could even crush space itself.
He opened his eyes and examined himself. Perhaps it was because he had experienced a rebirth, but now he was like a newborn baby. Every inch of his skin was white and translucent, and even his original white hair had disappeared. His black hair draped over his shoulders like a black waterfall.
The white hair was the result of his battle with the Wind Monarch in the Passing of Time Temple. It had been corroded by the Time Force and had taken away a lot of his lifespan. This was a fundamental injury that even if Yang Kai became a Great Emperor, he would not be able to recover from. However, this time, it was completely healed, which was quite a pleasant surprise.
Turning white hair into black meant that the lost life essence had been recovered.
However, after thinking about it, it was said that refining the Eternal Tree would allow one to obtain an undying and indestructible body, so what was the point of one’s lifespan?
Yang Kai wasn’t sure if he could become immortal or not, but after refining the Eternal Tree this time, his lifespan had definitely increased greatly, otherwise such a change would never have occurred.
Opening his mouth, Yang Kai silently smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m alive again!”
Inside the Mysterious Small World, inside the medicine garden, two little wood spirits were nervously waiting. As soon as his voice rang out, a scene of Yang Kai standing in the air appeared in front of them.
The two little people’s eyes widened, and in the next moment, Mu Zhu raised her hand and covered Mu Lu’s eyes, blushing as she said, “Clothes, clothes!”
Yang Kai slapped his forehead and quickly cut off his connection with the Mysterious Small World, taking out a piece of clothing and putting it on. After thinking about it for a moment, he put on a snow-white windbreaker, the high collar almost covering the back of his neck, and on his back was a giant ‘kill’ character, giving him a murderous look.
This was something Shan Qingluo and the others had specially asked Hou Yu to refine when the Sixth Stem Army was founded. The materials they had selected were all extremely precious materials and could be considered a good artifact. It had a certain degree of defensive ability and could also be used in conjunction with Yang Kai’s Dragon Transformation Secret Technique to expand and shrink at will. Their original intention was to allow Yang Kai to coordinate with the ‘Kill’ flag while commanding his Sixth Stem Army.
Yang Kai found it too ostentatious and never wore it.
At this moment, it was finally time to put on a show. When a newcomer appeared, they had to have some kind of style!
Yang Kai’s Divine Sense surged and spread out in all directions. Soon, Yang Kai felt an aura that was connected to his heart and reached out to grab the air, shouting, “Spear!”
With a buzz, a stream of light flew through the air and was caught in Yang Kai’s hand. It was the Azure Dragon Spear he had lost after his body exploded.
With the spear in his hand, Yang Kai’s aura suddenly became sharp as he stared forward, seemingly able to pierce through the void and see through the world of flames.
“Let’s fight the second round, Mo Sheng!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared.
…
Star Boundary, High Heaven Palace, Shan Qingluo’s eyes were red and swollen as she stared at Su Yan, “Big Sister, are you sure husband is not dead?”
Su Yan’s eyes were also red, and there were still traces of tears on her cheeks. Hearing this, she firmly said, “Yes!”
Xue Yue said, “Big Sister, don’t lie to us, we… we…”
Su Yan stretched out her hand to wipe her face and said, “He is now a Great Emperor. If he really fell, the world would definitely produce a strange phenomenon, but from half a day ago until now, there was no such phenomenon, so he didn’t die. Have you forgotten what happened when Can Ye was killed?”
Listening to her words, the women’s spirits all rose. Indeed, when Can Ye was killed, there was indeed a strange phenomenon in the world. Everyone in the entire Star Boundary, regardless of their strength, knew in that instant that the Great Emperor had fallen.
It seemed that Yang Kai was really fine, otherwise it would be impossible for this world to not react.
“But… that place is a crack in the void, if it’s because of the World Barrier…”
Su Yan said, “Don’t forget about Bright Moon Great Emperor!”
The girls were stunned for a moment before a look of realization appeared on their faces. The place where the Bright Moon Great Emperor had fallen back then was in the Demon Territory, and even his death had produced a strange phenomenon in the Star Boundary. If something really happened to Yang Kai, even if he was in a void crack, there would still be some signs.
However, even now, there was no signs in the world. This undoubtedly meant that Yang Kai was still alive and well, but for some unknown reason, he had yet to return.
If the others hadn’t been able to return, they might have been worried, but Yang Kai was a Void Great Emperor who used his Space Laws to ascend to the Great Emperor Realm. No matter how dangerous the Void Crack was, it was impossible for it to cause any harm to him. Perhaps he hadn’t returned because he was healing his injuries. After all, he had brought the severed hand into the Void Crack and was definitely injured.
However…
Su Yan looked at the battle in the distance with some worry, praying in her heart to return as soon as possible. If he didn’t return soon, the Star Boundary wouldn’t be able to hold on.
