Chapter 204: Liu Qing’s Reappearance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[In this temporary team, other than Fifth Bodhisattva Bear, a 9th Order Sage Emperor, there were two other 8th Order Sage Emperors.

[One of them was Lord Slow, who had just spoken. He held a walking stick in his hand and looked like a hunched old man. However, his majestic life force and the green gra.s.s growing on his head made it so that even Fifth Bodhisattva Bear didn’t dare to underestimate him.

[The other person hadn’t spoken a word since he had boarded the s.p.a.ceship. He had been sitting cross-legged in a corner. Beside him was a long saber that was the size of two people.

[The saber shimmered with cold light. One could tell at a glance that it wasn’t an ordinary saber and sense a deep killing intent exuding from it. This person was extremely famous among the Human Sage Emperors. On his head was a brown scarf. It was Lord Saber Kuang of the Western Regions.

[Upon hearing the news of Fifth Bodhisattva Bear, everyone immediately turned their gazes over.

“We can confirm that he isn’t far from us. It’s about a five-day journey.”

[Fifth Bodhisattva Bear took out an astrolabe. On the astrolabe, light dots flashed one after another. It could guide one’s position in the Endless Black Hole region and determine the coordinates. With a single glance, one could tell that it wasn’t a simple treasure.

“Then why are you hesitating? It had to do with the alchemist. There’s no information about it at all. There must be something strange in that place. Let’s go and take a look.”

“Finding Alchemist Akator is worth 10,000,000 Yuan. Even if it’s our score, each of us will earn hundreds of thousands. This trip is worth more than a million. What else do we need?”

“With the three lords here, even if we face a void beast horde, we can still retreat unscathed. Let’s go and take a look.”

“…”

[The Sage Emperors said in unison. The strength of your team wasn’t weak. Even in this Endless Black Hole region, it could be considered a top-tier force.

[Especially with a 9th Order Sage Emperor and two 8th Order Sage Emperors leading the team, even if a powerful enemy appeared, they had the confidence to fight.

[In this place where no Supreme being could act, a 9th Order Sage Emperor could guarantee the team’s safety.

[Seeing that everyone was like this, Fifth Bodhisattva Bear looked at Lord Slow and Lord Saber, who were at the side. With the two of them nodding, he gave the order to turn around and head toward the place where the s.p.a.ceship had disappeared.

…

[On the 216th day, there were no accidents during the five-day journey. However, everyone discovered a problem. The closer they got to the destination, the fewer materials they obtained.

[This was especially so after they were two days away from the destination. During these two days, they did not obtain anything.

[A Sage Emperor said in puzzlement, “That’s strange. Could it be that someone was ahead of us and took away all the treasures?”

[Everyone was also secretly surprised. The treasures produced by the Endless Black Hole region were very random, and the time periods were also different.

[It was illogical that they had not encountered anything after flying for two days.

[You could feel a faint premonition in your heart as if a crisis was about to arrive.

‘How is this possible? Although I’m only at the 1st Order of the Sage Emperor realm, with the support of all the Sage Emperor weapons on my body, I have the combat strength of a 5th Order Sage Emperor. Moreover, I have the Time Hunter talent. How can I be in danger?”

[An expert’s perception of danger was the real deal. The stronger an existence was, the stronger their perception would be.

[Therefore, when faced with such a feeling, one could not help but be on guard.

“Everyone, be on guard. There’s something wrong around here.”

[Fifth Bodhisattva Bear’s expression changed instantly. Three Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceships’ remains had already appeared on your route in just a short period.

“How can this be? Normally, even after flying in the Endless Black Hole region for a few years, we might not even encounter one Star-cla.s.s s.p.a.ceship’s remains, and there are actually three here?”

“Could it be that they fought each other, their strengths were about the same, and they died together?”

“It could also be that they encountered a void beast horde, but that’s not right either. This isn’t a place where void beast hordes appear.”

…

[The Sage Emperors discussed amongst themselves.

[On the 219th day, the s.p.a.ceship traveled for three days under a tense state. Along the way, you saw the wreckage of s.p.a.ceships one after another. Clearly, many people had already died here.

[You frowned. The more you flew, the stronger your sense of danger became. Many Sage Emperors even had the thought of retreating.

[However, Fifth Bodhisattva Bear and the two 8th Order Sage Emperors didn’t have the slightest intention of retreating. In the end, they had no choice but to follow along.

[Finally, everyone’s eyes instantly widened after traveling for some time. As they continued forward, a bizarre scene flabbergasted everyone.

[A willow tree that was 1,000,000 feet tall stood in the void. Its branches swayed gently, and it didn’t seem like it was floating in the void at all. The most ridiculous thing was that its roots… had actually pierced through one black hole after another. The roots entered from a black hole and came out from another black hole not far away.

[Nearby, there were over 100 black holes entangled by its roots and connected.

“Holy sh*t! What a big tree!”

“H-How is this possible? Is this still a tree?”

“A tree turned into a spirit? Even the Treants of the ancient legends didn’t have such a big body…”

“What’s going on? Its roots seem to be shuttling through one black hole after another.”

…

[The Sage Emperors gasped at the sight.

[As for you, drops of sweat had already formed on your head. At first, you didn’t feel anything when this huge figure appeared before you. It wasn’t until you used the Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes to check it that you realized that you knew this tree.

Name: Liu Qing

Race: Plant Clan

Cultivation: Sage Emperor/9th Order

Description: Originally, it was just an ordinary willow tree. Due to the recovery of Spiritual Qi on Earth, it turned into a daemon. Due to an accident, its roots reached the planet’s core, and it obtained a miraculous ability. It can devour everything to increase its strength and suck entire planets dry.

: It was banished into the universe, but it unexpectedly entered a black hole that was connected to the Endless Black Hole region. After devouring countless black holes, it reached its current level.

: Its true body is actually hidden in the black hole. If it comes out, it will be half the size of a black hole.

[Looking at the vines casually shuttling through the various black holes without any obstacles, one could understand just how huge Liu Qing’s current body was.

[After all, even Sage Emperors didn’t dare to enter the black holes. Not only was the s.p.a.ce inside dangerous, but the energy inside was also extremely unstable.

‘Could it be that I made a mistake back then? This willow tree is a true chosen one? After being exiled by Emperor Qin into the universe, it managed to obtain an opportunity and entered the Endless Black Hole region to absorb energy.

‘I obtained my Endless Absorption talent from this willow tree, right? Why can it devour so quickly? I’ve advanced the talent to a Colorful one, yet the speed at which I devour and transform my cultivation base is not on par with the willow tree’s speed!?’
