Millions of miles away, there is a completely scarlet land.

In other words, it is no longer the earth at all.

Instead, it is a place where thick and tangled roots, one after another, roll around like a candle dragon.

The thinnest of these rhizomes are as thick as a tiger's waist, while the largest ones are as big as a city.

The rolling scarlet roots turned the entire space scarlet.

Here, the sun can no longer be seen.

In the deeper haze, the scarlet fog was like a wall, and a towering tree could be vaguely seen reaching into the sky.

The sky was obscured by huge scarlet branches and leaves, and was also shrouded in a layer of scarlet air. Anyone standing anywhere would find it difficult to see anything a hundred feet away.

These branches, which are thicker than the big rivers, support leaves that are as big as the sea or lake.

Just one horse is enough to cover the whole world.

If you could look up from where the branches intersect and penetrate the scarlet mist, you would see branches that are even larger and more boundless, as if they were supporting the world.

In this scarlet land, there are no croaking frogs, no singing birds, and no chirping cicadas.

But it's not that there is no life.

Even from every root, every branch, and every leaf, it emanates vigorous vitality.

It seems that this tree, the tree of heaven and earth, is the source of vitality of this world.

Looking to the right, I see an unknown number of thousands of miles away.

In the void tens of thousands of feet high, a dazzling flame streaked across like a meteor.

The flaming meteor seemed slow, but it seemed to be able to travel through space. It traveled thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, crashed into the scarlet fog, and stopped after a tremor.

Then, a somewhat hunched figure appeared, exhaling bloody air.

It was the Yan Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, Xiao Xuaner's brother, Xiao Yan.

At this moment, the clarity in his eyes was extremely rare.

The entire pupil turned completely scarlet.

He looked at the looming tree trunk that reached up to the sky.

In his eyes, madness and hatred.

But the scarlet mist was like a barrier between two worlds, and it was impossible to penetrate it.

He could only let out a long roar toward the sky, and turned into a pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky, rushing upwards diagonally.

It flew from tens of thousands of feet to a hundred thousand feet, then to a few hundred thousand feet, and then to more than two hundred thousand feet.

When they rushed upward diagonally for two hundred thousand feet, the fog was no longer so thick and they could vaguely see, in the light mist, a huge tree trunk that reached from the sky to the ground, its outstretched branches, and leaves that were as big as the world, as well as holes on the leaves that looked like they were eaten by insects.

Each hole is big or small, some are as small as a worm, and some are bigger than a mountain.

Sometimes there was a smell of ape air coming in and out of the cave, as if woodworms were digging and absorbing nutrients from the leaves, or as if they were growing from the leaves themselves.

Xiao Yan looked at those holes, and suddenly strong disgust and hatred appeared in his eyes. He raised his hands to the sky, and suddenly a scorching sun appeared in the void, falling on the leaf as if covering the sky and the earth.

The scorching sun spread over an area of ​​countless miles, burning the leaves that were countless times larger than the city, causing charred smoke to rise everywhere.

Countless horrifying roars were heard in that leaf, but they were all turned into nothingness under Xiao Yan's Great Sun Annihilation Seal.

The world in the leaves was turned into magma and burned through, but the branches that supported the leaves were not burned to nothingness except for being charred. Many of the strange creatures that survived the attack, as big as a small mountain, followed the trunk and drilled deeper into the tree.

The hatred in Xiao Yan's eyes did not diminish at all.

He madly used the Great Sun Annihilation Seal, and huge suns appeared in the void one after another, burning leaf after leaf.

Countless terrifying and roaring monsters turned into nothingness in the sea of ​​fire.

At this time, the Tongtianyuan Tree in the fog began to shake.

A feeling of anger emanated from the source tree.

"Swoosh~!".

A branch thicker than a mountain stretched out and lashed towards Xiao Yan with an aura that made the heaven and earth tremble.

Xiao Yan raised a ray of scorching sun and smashed it towards the branch.

Compared to the scorching sun, the scarlet branches were extremely small.

But it exuded a faint aura that seemed to transcend the gods, and it was indestructible. When it came into contact with something, it was like steel hitting a balloon, shattering the scorching sun within a radius of thousands of miles.

The branches pierced through the exploding sparks and lashed towards Xiao Yan in the air.

Xiao Yan let out a howl like a monster, and the flames flashed for thousands of miles in an instant, avoiding the attack of the branch.

But after that branch was pulled out, countless branches flew out with a "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~", like a dense electric net, tearing through the void and pulling towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had no way to dodge and could only take it head-on.

Thick branches whipped at him, tearing his body apart, breaking bones and tendons, and splashing blood all over his body.

Xiao Yan, coughing up blood, dragged his injured body and flew upwards another ten thousand feet before he avoided the beatings from the branches.

At this moment, blood exploded all over his body, and he coughed violently, even imperial power was coughed out of his mouth.

The powerful emperor's body almost collapsed under the attack of these branches.

The madness in Xiao Yan's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the roars coming out of his mouth became more and more like a monster.

He let out a strange roar, and lifted up a dazzling sun, just about to burn the thinner branches at the top.

There were three cuts on the tree trunk.

A spooky voice was heard:

"Xiao Yan, don't waste your energy. This is a life form that transcends the gods. With your power, you can't destroy it at all."

As the eerie voice was heard, three figures wearing imperial crowns, colorful jade robes, dragon-head belts around their waists, and cloud boots stepped out from the opening on the tree trunk.

Among these three people, one had a ghostly aura, with green netherworld fire in his eyes. One wore a golden robe, and his pupils were like a sharp sword, piercing the sky. In terms of momentum, he was much stronger than Xie Feng. Another one had a face like ice, eyebrows like a clear lake, and a high nose bridge. He was a man with a feminine and beautiful temperament, but there was a rotten scar on his face that ruined his temperament.

The three of them were all frowning at this moment, looking at the mad Xiao Yan, with even confusion in their eyes.

The man with a feminine temperament shouted angrily:
"Xiao Yan! What on earth are you going to do?
You look more like a monster than us now, and you still want to destroy the source tree?
Once this source tree collapses, you, me, and all the descendants of the source tree will be annihilated together. Don't you know this?"

Another emperor with a sword-like aura also advised:

"Xiao Yan, if you really want to save the people, why don't you join us in entering this source tree and digging downwards to absorb the purer spiritual power of the source tree.

If we obtain the spirit of this source tree, we will surely gain power beyond this world and break through the shackles of the Dou Emperor. It is still unknown whether we can reshape our bodies and restore our human bodies in the future!" (End of this chapter)
