Capítulo 2001: Chapter 2000: Old Tree’s Secret, Divine Retribution

This blade is a substantial one.

It’s neither a flash of light nor a surge of Blade Qi, Tyrant Shadow sweeps down amid wind and thunder, chopping down.

“Boom, boom.”

One blade cleaves half the sky, and between heaven and earth, only this blade emerges.

The sea beast still wants to block with its arms.

But the sharpness of this blade takes it by surprise, or rather, it’s lethal enough.

“Boom” roared a sound.

The ultimate wave-splitting crashed over.

One blade heavily landed on the sea beast’s arms.

Immediately, blood spurted, flesh flew.

Those arms were slashed off abruptly.

The sea beast’s painful roar came.

Xu Zimei seized the opportunity to gather the blood.

After the blade severed the arms, its momentum continued, falling onto the sea beast’s chest.

The sea beast’s roar grew louder.

The blade cleaved the chest, the immense force changing everyone’s complexion.

Soon after, when the blade reached halfway, it exhausted all its strength.

The blade was left within the body of the sea beast.

The opponent started to howl in agony.

Xu Zimei kicked the sea beast, directly flipping it to the ground, heavily pulling out Tyrant Shadow.

At this moment, the sea beast was already in a half-dead state.

One could say.

Blood flowed all over its body.

Especially in the chest area, the blade wound was nearly impossible to heal.

The sea beast lay on the ground, surrounding kilometers of seawater turning blood red.

The sea beast struggled to stand, but it’s futile.

Due to the injuries being too severe.

Xu Zimei holding the blade step by step approached, the blade stood in front of the sea beast, only then did the sea beast begin to panic.

“Kid, which faction do you belong to?” the sea beast asked.

Before this moment, they would not speak, or rather, they disdain to speak with humans.

Only now, on the brink of death, the sea beast spoke.

“Why does a dying beast need to know so much?” Xu Zimei smiled cruelly.

“You’re right, you shouldn’t be from Immortal Island,” the sea beast replied.

“I cannot sense the blood in your body, so you’re not a descendant of the Old Tree.”

“Are Immortal Island’s natives really descendants of the Old Tree?” Xu Zimei was surprised.

Though someone had told him this before.

But it was said to be a legend, nobody dared to be 100% certain.

Now hearing it from the sea beast’s mouth, it seemed somewhat credible.

“How did you know Immortal Island’s natives are descendants of the Old Tree?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Because our sea beast clan is,” the sea beast replied leisurely.

They are also descendants of the Old Tree.

Xu Zimei suddenly understood, hence these sea beasts could move freely through Immortal Island’s barrier.

The barrier only blocks outsiders, not descendants with the bloodline.

“No wonder,” Xu Zimei laughed.

“Tell me about the Old Tree, I’m quite curious.”

“Are you sure you want me to tell you like this?” the sea beast asked.

At this moment, it was covered in blood and already half-dead, yet Xu Zimei still wanted to hear a story.

“If what you tell is useful, I might not kill you, and let you leave,” Xu Zimei replied.

“As for these injuries, I think they should not be a problem, your sea beast clan has a very robust vitality.”

“You really will let me go?” the sea beast asked.

Originally already in a certain death scenario, suddenly having hope, the sea beast naturally didn’t believe it.

“There’s no issue, Immortal Island is irrelevant to me, your life or death doesn’t matter, you leaving poses no loss to me,” Xu Zimei spoke straightforwardly.

“Of course, this is all based on the condition that what you’ll say next is useful to me.”

“What do you want to hear?” the sea beast asked after thinking.

“Why did you want to attack Immortal Island?” Xu Zimei asked.

“As far as I know, there’s no enmity between you; your sea beast clan’s attack seems premeditated.”

Upon hearing the question, the sea beast was silent for a moment.

Xu Zimei hit the nail on the head, directly pointing to the core issue.

Why attack Immortal Island?

“We don’t want to occupy here, rather we wish to kill the Old Tree,” the sea beast thought for a moment, then replied.

“Kill the Old Tree?” Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei felt he seemed to uncover some great secret.

“Are you saying the Old Tree is not dead?”

“But that’s impossible; it’s said the Old Tree died under divine punishment, did Heaven open its eyes?”

Heaven is emotionless.

To some extent, Heaven does not interfere with the world’s operation, only acting to eradicate anomalies appearing in the world.

This anomaly is referring to people like Xu Zimei.

Too strong, so strong that the world cannot contain them.

The world’s soil can no longer nurture them.

They must break free from the world, which Heavenly Dao does not permit.

Could it be the Old Tree was like him?

Xu Zimei couldn’t help but think.

“Rather than divine punishment, call it divine wrath,” the sea beast replied.

“What I know is indeed limited.

But as far as I know, the Old Tree was once the overlord of Robbery Immortal Domain.”

Xu Zimei acknowledged this.

Merely the Old Tree’s body became one of the four territories of Robbery Immortal Domain after its death.

Such massive form, naturally it couldn’t be a bluff.

“Back then, the Old Tree was arrogant, dominating the entire Robbery Immortal Domain.

Even the Holy Court sometimes suffered attacks from the Old Tree.”

“Ironically, at that time, the Old Tree was at its peak, even able to rival the Holy Ancestor.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei had a general understanding of the Old Tree’s strength.

Heaven Challengers should be the highest echelon of combat power in this world.

They are nearly invincible, only Heavenly Dao can fight against them.

And below Heaven Challengers are beings like the Holy Ancestor, those with the deepest Enlightenment.

The Old Tree was probably at this critical point.

Though not as strong as Heaven Challengers, able to match them prior.

“Continue,” Xu Zimei replied.

“The Old Tree after antagonizing the Holy Court fought many battles, each having wins and losses.

Originally, everyone was onlookers, some even betting on who might win.”

“Until one autumn afternoon, a Heavenly Thunder descended, and a majestic heavenly eye appeared in the sky.”

Xu Zimei knew the Holy Court had no way dealing with the Old Tree, thus directly summoning help.

Behind them naturally is Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao acts for Holy Court, what they can’t resolve, naturally Heavenly Dao would.

“Divine wrath descended, even with Heaven Challenge technique, the Old Tree was doomed.”

The sea beast said.

“But the Old Tree had a backup plan.”

“In its dying moments, it turned its body into a dwelling place, activated its bloodline creating a race.”

“That is the current natives of Immortal Island.”

“Immortal Island’s natives aren’t human?” Xu Zimei asked surprised.
