'No, that's the complete case,' thought Feng Heng as his Yin-Yang Eyes saw the truth. 'It's a projection she created by studying and imitating the World Tree. So, although she has its power, it's not the real thing.'
Feng Heng shook his head in disappointment. The World Tree and Bodhi Tree are one of the most sought-after wood-element resources in the world. So, it would benefit him immensely if he got his hands on it.
'However, this may be the given those two prying eyes.'
He continued to observe and soon realized his Absolute End Technique was useless to the tree since it was essentially an immortal species.
Then, the tree branches moved under Zhen Biyu's control and slapped Feng Heng. Every World Tree branch, flower, or fruit contains a world or dimension. As such, this attack was as if someone hit Feng Heng with thousands of worlds.
Boom!
A black and white Buddha phantom appeared around him, blocking the tree. The Buddha blocked the attack that bore the weight of a hundred thousand worlds.
Sadly, the shockwave damaged Feng Heng's internal organs. However, this damage was minor, given his fleshly body's regenerative capabilities and ability to return to his beginning.
"A hundred thousand worlds is not enough? Try a few million," said Zhen Biyu with a sneer as she controlled the tree to continue attacking. Feng Heng's Buddha raised its hand to generate a circular Yin-Yang Diagram.
And as soon as the tree's branch hit, the diagram redirected the force of this attack.
Boom!
Zhen Biyu's body exploded into a pool of blood. However, less than a second afterward, her body reappeared without a scratch.
'Is she immortal as long as the tree is here?' analyzed Feng Heng. However, his opponent did not give him much time to think or strategize.
[3800 Innate Demon Gods]
Numerous auras suddenly emanate from some of the worlds in the World Tree. Then, Feng Heng saw countless Innate Lifeforms appearing out of nowhere. These life forms included famous creatures like Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilin, Kunpeng, and many more.
'Using Five Element Dao to touch the domain of Creation,' pondered Feng Heng with squinted eyes. The World Tree can give birth to worlds, and these worlds can give birth to life. And one of the earliest lives often born between Heaven and Earth is the Innate Demon Gods.
'A world tree must be cultivated to a high level before it can give birth to live—let alone Innate Demon Gods. This person must have the real World Tree or have seen one.'
Feng Heng calmly watched as these terrifying creatures that only exist in myths and legends rushed toward him; his demeanor was calm throughout the process, and he simply closed his eyes.
When Buddha closes his eyes, the world turns from being real to nothing but his imagination; it changes from truth to illusion. And Feng Heng did the same to these Innate Demon Gods.
He used Yin-Yang Dao to control Real and Unreal, reverting these Innate Demon Gods to their unreal state.
'The tree was not affected,' he thought as he moved his hand to create a small purple disk under his hand.
[Disk of Destruction]
The disk increased its size to a diameter of about five meters. Then, it rushed toward the tree with the unfathomable power of destruction.
Zhen Biyu reacted swiftly, knowing she could not allow something to happen to the tree. As such, she controlled it to send millions of worlds toward the disk to stop.
However, the process appeared to be useless. Any worlds that approached the disk would wither as all the plants died, the sky turned dark, volcanoes erupted, tsunamis swallowed the shore, and earthquakes destroyed Heaven and Earth.
The process would take less than a second before all these worlds reached their destruction upon coming closer to the disks. Luckily, these worlds were empty and had no life. Otherwise, the number of people dying would be astronomical.
The destruction of these worlds was not random and served a purpose. Zhen Biyu knew her opponent could use the power of Destruction through his Yin-Yang Law. As such, as long as she disturbs the balance in the disk, she can stop it.
So, with each world's destruction, the purple disk would become unbalanced.
Phew!
The disk disintegrated, and Zhen Biyu almost breathed in relief. Unfortunately, she did not have the chance. Feng Heng suddenly appeared before the tree and touched it.
In an instant, this towering tree, full of life, withered as a breath of death emanated deep from its root.
The World Tree is a top species from Heaven and Earth and cannot easily be destroyed. However, with Feng Heng's use of Yin-Yang to control Death Law, adding his Absolute End Technique, the tree withered as if it had reached the end of its lifespan.
'Damn it,' cursed Zhen Biyu as she tried to fight the tree's death by injecting it with life force from her Wood and Earth Dao. Although the tree is a projection, her technique made it function the same way as the real thing.
If it is destroyed, she cannot just recreate it; she must also use these methods to save it.
Unfortunately, Feng Heng did not give her time to breathe. He used a Flesh Divine Ability called [Mind Suffering]. He projected his pain, suffering, and sadness into his opponent to break their mind or spirit.
The monk made sure he had to suffer the same pain as his opponent to ensure this technique would be even more potent. So, this technique is essentially a contest of the will, of who can bear the most tremendous pain,
And the winner was shown by Zhen Biyu's scream. Zhen Biyu's Willpower is not weak, tempered by the long years Five Heart has lived. However, living for a long time does not mean someone has suffered.
But Feng Heng spent his entire life in pain, burdened by a mission forced upon him after witnessing the death of his sect and all the people he cared for.
'It's so painful,' thought Zhen Biyu as she held her head. 'I didn't want to take risks and give Heavenly Dao the opportunity to act. But now, I have no choice.'
She learned from her experience that once she broke the bottom line of Heavenly Dao during the final battle, the latter would intervene and annihilate her clone. However, she felt this generation was weird and might not suffer any consequences for her actions.
Bang!
Zhen Biyu exploded her body before recondensing one. Then, two things appeared before her–a seal with the character for 'star' and a strange object composed of five feathers glued together.
'Emperor Artifact?' thought Feng Heng as he searched his memory for these items. He recognized them as the Innate Five Element Feather and Primal Star Seal, Emperor Artifacts from the Five Element Balance Palace.
However, Feng Heng did not have time to ponder much as he felt an immediate sense of danger.
The Innate Five Element Feather created five lights of different colors. Meanwhile, the seal made a river of stars. Then, the river of stars changed from its dark but twinkling color to the five colors of red, blue, yellow, white, and green.
'Artifact Resonance?' thought Feng Heng with an ugly expression; this method is often used by sects with more than one Emperor Artifact. However, Emperor Formations is always needed to perform such a feat.
But now, he saw someone using it with formation as a catalyst. Furthermore, the person who used it is nothing but a mortal.
Bang!
A five-colored light beam rushed from the river of stares toward Feng Heng. He evaporated instantly as if he had never existed in this world.
"He should be dead right?" muttered Zhen Biyu as she felt the aftermath of her attack. She used multiple methods to check and did not detect any signs of her opponent.
Then, her body aged in a matter of seconds. Her hair turned gray, her skin wrinkled, and her life aura was at an all-time low.
'It's unfortunate I could not capture him to get Buddhism's luck. However, it's good to eliminate such a powerful foe. Anyway, I need to heal as soon as possible.'
She could feel her vitality passing away even after using the endless life force from her Wood Dao.
Zhen Biyu took a step to move before a look of horror appeared on her face. Her body could not move as the surroundings changed to a place without any Five Elements, and the very concepts of Yin and Yang were chaotic.
Then, Feng Heng appeared with an extremely pale complexion.
'That attack reached 1-Root,' thought Feng Heng. He would have been annihilated if he did not act at the last minute and used his Yin-Yang Dao to enter a state of nonexistence, acquiring certain immunity from all matter, energy, force, or concept.
He took a deep breath to calm down. For many years, he did not fear death and even welcomed it. However, this experience showed him his true thoughts.
'All that matters is that I'm the final victor.'
