Chu Feng raised his head and took a glance at the Spirit King, who seemed to have completely fused with the Heart of the Netherworld.

Fear arose in his heart.

At this moment, the anxious shout of the Heavenly Tree could be heard again.

“I’m enough here! Run! If you continue to stay here, your lives might be in danger!”

Everyone looked at each other.

But they did not insist.

Everyone jumped down the city wall and retreated quickly!

On the city wall, only a slightly delicate figure was left. She raised her head and looked solemnly at the Spirit King.

At that moment…

The entire Great Emperor’s City was burning again!

Raging flames illuminated the night sky.

A light blue energy shield rose into the air again and enveloped the entire City of the Great Emperor.

But even so, the Heavenly Tree was still uncertain.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.

However, after seeing that Chu Feng and the others had left, her worried heart relaxed slightly.

But at this moment, the Spirit King’s low roar suddenly resounded through the entire world.

At this moment, the Spirit King stood in the air like a huge sun hanging in the sky.

The Heart of the Netherworld beside him seemed to be melting.

Drops of transparent liquid slowly seeped into the Spirit King’s body.

The Spirit King could not help but let out a satisfying roar. Under the nourishment of the Heart of the Netherworld, his soul seemed to have been sublimated!

Not long after, the Spirit King took a step forward and walked out of the shrunken Heart of the Netherworld.

His cold eyes suddenly opened.

Boom!

An invisible terrifying pressure swept in all directions.

The Spirit King clenched his fists excitedly and growled.

“So strong! It’s even far beyond my peak!”

“Is this the feeling of being above the Divine Lord Realm? Or am I already close?!”

“The Heart of the Netherworld is indeed a sacred item for us spiritual bodies! This is only a quarter of its energy. If I completely devour it, I might really have a chance to break through to a higher level…”

He shook his head.

The Spirit King forcefully suppressed such a crazy thought.

It was unrealistic!

He did not even have a true physical body now. How could he accept the enhancement of the divine light of heaven and earth?

Furthermore, although his strength had suddenly increased, the Spirit King knew very well that this was only because he had used the power of the Heart of the Netherworld!

It could not last!

Losing a quarter of the Heart of the Netherworld just to obtain this bit of power was a huge loss no matter how one looked at it!

Seeing the remaining half of the Heart of the Netherworld, the Spirit King’s heart was bleeding.

Chu Feng!

This bastard even stole a quarter of the Heart of the Netherworld from him!

He had not had the time to take it back previously.

The Spirit King regretted it!

After tasting the sweetness of the Heart of the Netherworld that stimulated his potential, the Spirit King’s hatred for Chu Feng could not help but increase!

A deep breath.

He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

“Chu Feng is not a spiritual life form. Even if he takes the fragment of my Heart of the Netherworld, he won’t be able to use it. When I flatten the Great Emperor’s City, I can still take it back!”

He comforted himself.

Only then did the Spirit King calm down.

He felt the destructive power in his body.

He lowered his head.

He looked at the transparent barrier that enveloped the sky above the Great Emperor’s City.

“I feel that… it’s not impossible to break it…”

Clearly, there was a limit to the defensive barrier built by burning the Great Emperor’s City. It was impossible for it to be really invincible.

The previous Spirit King was far from reaching this limit.

But now, the Spirit King was already infinitely close to the realm he had dreamed of. Perhaps it would be enough…

Boom!

There was no hesitation.

The Spirit King slashed down with all his might!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dazzling sword light erupted above the barrier.

Countless sonic booms sounded.

Sizzle…

The energy barrier, which had never been shaken before, actually emitted a crisp cracking sound like that before glass shattered.

“Impossible!”

The Second Commander, who had already fled into the distance, exclaimed in disbelief.

“This is a defensive barrier personally set up by the Great Emperor. How can…”

Even if it was only being shaken now, the Second Commander and the others would never believe it!

Only the Heavenly Tree seemed to foresee it.

Her graceful face remained calm.

She just shook her head helplessly and muttered to herself, “Isn’t the Heart of the Netherworld a little too effective on these spiritual creatures?”

“Huang Quan, you bastard, you’ve really left me a huge problem…”

She seemed to be talking to the Netherworld Emperor in the end.

The Heavenly Tree remembered that the Netherworld Emperor had once said that the Heart of the Netherworld was the key to the evolution of spiritual bodies, so he deliberately left it to the spiritual bodies.

At that time, the Netherworld Emperor wanted to nurture the spiritual bodies into a force to guard the Great Emperor’s City.

Unfortunately, before the training plan was completed, something unexpected happened in the world, causing the Netherworld Emperor to leave in a hurry.

Countless years passed!

Later on, the River of the Netherworld underwent a tremendous change.

The new Spirit King overthrew the rule of the old Spirit King and began to covet the foundation left behind by the Great Emperor.

Now, it even brought an unprecedented crisis to the Heavenly Tree.

All of this was probably unexpected by the Netherworld Emperor.

There was a long sigh.

The Heavenly Tree understood that complaining would not solve the problem.

Above his head, the Spirit King was already attacking crazily.

This time, the defensive barrier began to tremble.

She had no choice.

The Heavenly Tree suddenly formed hand seals.

She actually returned to her original form.

The towering Heavenly Tree slowly appeared.

She stood tall!

Without any hesitation, countless branches and leaves spread crazily, extending directly to the energy barrier.

Dense branches and leaves quickly filled the entire energy barrier like creepers.

They were firmly attached to it and actually acted as adhesive!

It was like a piece of glass covered in tape, which was definitely more tenacious. There was no doubt about it.

The effect was immediate.

Under the crazy bombardment of the Spirit King, the energy barrier, which was already on the verge of collapse, actually stabilized!

Even the deafening roar was much softer.

The sound and sight seemed to have been blocked.

However, everything had a price.

Boom!

Boom!

As the Spirit King continued to attack, the Heavenly Tree’s torso was also trembling crazily.

Now, after a portion of the Spirit King’s every attack was offset by the energy barrier, the rest was resisted by the Heavenly Tree.

This kind of injury was not small!

After all, the current Spirit King was infinitely close to another level!

The Heavenly Tree, as a spiritual plant life form, had an extremely tenacious life force, which was why she could persist time and time again.

But as time passed, it was inevitable that she would die.

What to do?!
