Chapter 757 499: True Word of Halting
The towering ancient tree stretched up to the sky, shading an entire street, with each leaf resembling a rooftop, immense in size.
Chen Ku immediately recognized the origin of this ancient tree.
It was the very Flat Peach Ancient Tree once guarded by the Water Ape he had summoned with the Evil Summoning Banner in the Five Elements Land, and later obtained by Hua Yuexian after being defeated by Li Shentong.
Later, Hua Yuexian even acquired an Ancient Sword within that Five Elements Land.
Though it was unclear why Hua Yuexian didn't wield that sword this time; perhaps something happened to it after the last battle with the Destruction Tower Master.
Nevertheless, this Flat Peach Ancient Tree, which Hua Yuexian hadn't previously displayed, was now revealed at this critical moment, directly resisting Chen Ku's hand with its towering posture.
"My Huntian Overlord Body has already been achieved, uninvadable by all techniques, and can also command all techniques. Back then, I could tempt the Yin God Fruit with the Wood Emperor True Qi, let alone now..."
Chen Ku, using the stature of his giant body, recognized the origin of this Flat Peach Tree, covering it with his palm. In his palm, the mighty thunder first suppressed the frenzied growth of the Flat Peach Tree, then a greenish glow emerged on the skin of the gigantic hand.
From the viewpoint of others, his hand—almost a hundred meters in size—had its meridians and blood vessels turned into tree-root-like green, and the entire arm became wood-like, displaying woody textures.
It appeared as though he was being assimilated by the Flat Peach Tree.
However, in reality, Chen Ku was operating the Power of Wood Emperor with his Tyrant Body's divine power, assimilating the Flat Peach Tree. Different from the past temptation with Wood Emperor's Qi on the Yin God Fruit, now, with his tyrant body formed, Chen Ku's power of the Wood Emperor was exceptionally overbearing!
Like a domineering king, a true emperor of all woods, his force's operation was like a holy decree that must not be violated, exuding extraordinary majesty!
As his power penetrated into this enormous Flat Peach Ancient Tree, instantly, his Martial Path Sigil formed within it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
In an instant, the towering branches and leaves of the Flat Peach Ancient Tree began to shake, emitting a scent of submission towards Chen Ku.
Visibly, the ancient tree in Chen Ku's palm continued to shrink, uprooted from the ground and ultimately reduced into a tree-shaped mark, merging into the palm of Chen Ku.
It was absorbed into his body!
But as Chen Ku took the Flat Peach Tree, Hua Yuexian's figure had already vanished from the Martial Arts Sky Street.
"Gone!"
Chen Ku's gaze flickered, yet his sights locked onto another person, the very Li Wanzhao whom he had previously defeated with two punches.
Without hesitation, he swung a massive hand towards Li Wanzhao.
Boom!
This palm descended, faceless dust over hundreds of miles in the sky was smashed into powder instantly, leaving a massive palm-printed pit on the street, with the five-finger texture distinctly deepened by dozens of feet!
Bam!
Li Wanzhao's figure was directly smashed into oblivion by Chen Ku's hit.
Yet, to Chen Ku's surprise, after his palm stroke, there wasn't the scene of Li Wanzhao's body being smashed into flesh paste.
Instead, with one strike, Li Wanzhao was turned into a wisp of white smoke, disappearing into thin air.
Vaguely, amidst the white mist, a strand of hair drifted outward.
"That's the Life-saving Feather from the Fighting God Palace, from a fourteen realm Divine Ape of Fighting God Palace, able to block a lethal strike at critical moments. That young man is also from the Fighting God Palace."
Beside him, the voice of Young Marquis Yang Pan emerged.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ku couldn't help but recall that after he killed Hua Yuexian's disciple Hua Qingyun earlier, there was also a strand of Monkey Hair, but it hadn't had the chance to act before Hua Qingyun died under his power before Taiyuan.
This time, clearly Li Wanzhao and Hua Yuexian were well-prepared.
Even though Hua Yuexian escaped, the acquisition of an Innate Spirit Root, the Flat Peach Ancient Tree, wasn't an unpleasant result for Chen Ku.
Though he still felt some discontent, at this moment, noticing the hundreds of Thunderbolt Flying Boats from the Great Fortune side, realizing that their attacks on him were futile, were rapidly fleeing away to avoid the Martial Arts Giant.
Boom!
Chen Ku swung his arm, his massive hand cutting across like a mountain range, unleashing a terrifying gale akin to a natural disaster, ravaging everything in its path.
Rumbling!
The countless Thunderbolt Flying Boats, without managing to escape Chen Ku's arm span's tempestuous attack range, exploded into pieces of thunderous fireworks in the sky, plunging towards the ground below.
In the central royal city of Great Fortune, within the primary Conquest Department responsible for attacking Daji, a red-robed official's eyes sparked with cold light:
"Martial Arts Dominator Body! The physique of the 'Overlord' Ji Zhanchi back in those days, has reappeared in this world, within the Ji Country camp, no less, and appears to be not yet in the Fourteen Realms, still in the youth phase, having not reached the peak of maturity. Since he appeared in Yujing City, he must be eradicated immediately to prevent endless future troubles!"
With those words, an immediate order was issued:
"Deploy eighteen Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships, target, kill this Tyrant Body!"
The internal members of the royal city, upon receiving the order, were all in slight awe; deploying the Kunpeng Swallowing Cloud Ships, originally the main fleet for assaulting the Daji Palace, extracting eighteen crafts to deal with a single person.
