Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 485: Chapter 363: The First Confrontation with Emperor Merciless (Revised)_1

(I made some changes to the last chapter. Everyone felt that the protagonist was too suppressed, so I decided to give him a little boost! The main plot remains unchanged, though!)

…

…

Without a second thought,

Jiang Hui immediately chose to retreat, wanting to escape from this antique ship as quickly as possible.

Although he doesn’t possess the Kun Peng Treasure Technique, his speed was not slow. As he moved, the Earth rapidly receded beneath his feet, with the peaks’ shadows appearing and the stars whirling around him,

But at the same time, the distance that was once at arm’s length seemed to infinitely elongate; no matter how much he retreated, the sight before his eyes still clung on, like a shadow.

Especially that vibrant, unrivaled slender figure, which seemed glued to him as tightly as a plaster.

The other party seemed to be motionless, but the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Jiang Hui was anxious inside.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a haze,

A streak of white appeared.

It was a delicate jade hand, white and gleaming, exquisite like a lotus flower. It looked like an intricately carved jade artifact, but in Jiang Hui’s view, it was more like a life-stealing demon claw.

Although the speed of this jade hand was evidently slow, you could even trace its path with the naked eye, but the terrifying fact was that you had no choice but to watch it, unable to hide!

Jiang Hui’s face turned pale.

Because he sensed an immortal and terrifying force from it, nothing could withstand it. If he was caught by it, he had no doubt that there would be a bloody hole in his chest.

As he had thought,

The other party had suspicions about his identity and did not intend to ask questions. Instead, they aimed to suppress him outright.

This was the worst outcome, but also the most likely one.

In myriads of years, nobody had ever walked out of this ancient ship. Apart from the strange ominous curse, there was also the will of the ship itself.

The eerie darkness was ubiquitous and unyielding. Once on the ship, nine out of ten would be invaded by the eerie, turning in walking cursed forbidden areas upon return.

“Do you really think you’re invincible? There is no Emperor’s Era left, and I exist in this world. Whoever it is, they must submit!!”

Jiang Hui also hardened his heart. All he wanted was to survive.

All along this way, his temperament had changed a long time ago. He was no longer the insignificant young sapling he used to be.

As he competed in the worldly struggles and fought in the starry sky, it was not the power that was the most important, but the invincible belief and confidence. Building monuments across the galaxy and crowning them into an ocean, only in this way can one carry on unremittingly.

His body flashed a white light, like a rolling sun in action, swiftly retreating from the fatal blow.

But that wasn’t the end. Almost immediately, Jiang Hui took out a multicolored bone fragment with his hand.

This was the treasure he had recently obtained from the dragon egg, which could be used to save his life at the most critical moment.

After using it, it could instantly enhance his realm to the Supreme Immortal King, with effects lasting for an hour. However, once the time was up, the rainbow bone fragment would shatter instantly. It was a rare item, quite valuable, but sadly, only meant for one-time use.

Originally, he planned to use it when facing something devious. It was extremely rare and could offer a surprise advantage at crucial moments. But at this point, he was utterly sick of the old woman in front of him. She wanted to kill him at the slightest provocation. He wasn’t some kind-hearted soul!!!

If she wanted a fight, he would happily oblige!

Jiang Hui’s expression was as frosty as the winter cold, his eyes blazing like torches. Looking at the rainbow bone fragment, he didn’t hesitate and chose to use it immediately.

“Hum!!!”

Almost at the same time,

A mysterious force gushed into his mind. A complicated flow of knowledge enveloped him.

This feeling was indescribable, immense and complex, filling his entire being in an instant, transforming every inch of his body, every single cell.

He no longer felt like a singular life form, but more like an independent universe, embodying rules and principles. An aura of chaos pervaded in his vicinity, exuding an Immortal aura. Every word he uttered could make everything bloom with life or wither into ruin.

This was the Immortal King, the King among Immortals, taking life evolution to an ultimate level.

A singular entity was a realm in itself, a world of sentient beings. Immortal and eternal, residing through the ages, overlooking the mortal world. Even the grandest history of empires seemed like fleeting moments before him.

At that moment,

Jiang Hui’s perception was crystal clear, as if he had understood the true meaning of life and everything else, bearing witness to the Dao at its most fundamental level.

The Dao gave birth to one entity, which gave birth to two. Two created three, and three gave birth to everything!

Following this, all the scenes morphed into a grand river, rushing towards him, surging past, with waves crashing and countless colossal ancient stars floating, each pulsating with vibrant life.

The vast universe, the infinite starry sky seemed to lie under his feet at that moment.

With just one step, the void shattered and a terrifying aura circulated. Each time it flowed it was as heavy as a mountain and could easily shatter any star.

Sensing the overwhelming aura suddenly erupting from Jiang Hui, astonishment flashed across the face that hadn’t changed across countless eons.

Jiang Hui remained silent, his body nestled between heaven and earth, ensnared by the galaxies, towering and upright, with his hair scattered behind him. He looked like an ancient demon mountain, or an eternal devil god, emanating a power that made the earth tremble.
