But one thing stayed the same—all of them wanted Meng Lei to hand over the golden leaf.
“A bunch of fools!”
Ol’ Amos swore quietly. Then, he said, “Don’t listen to them, Meng Lei. Even if you hand over the golden leaf, the Tree of Life won’t let you off. You must understand that the leaf is a divine weapon. Once it gets its hands on it, the Tree of Life will definitely silence everyone and kill all of you.
“Why would that evil deity care about your lives when it doesn’t even care about the deaths of its countless Magical Beast worshipers? Begging for mercy?
“That’s just that bunch of fools’ wishful thinking!”
“Tree of Life!”
A hint of insanity flashed past the depths of Meng Lei’s eyes as he shouted hysterically, “Stop goddamn daydreaming! Even if we must fight it out, you can forget about taking even a strand of hair from me!”
Meng Lei had only just spoken when all the power in him erupted. Then, he smashed the Hammer of Destruction in his hand madly toward the Tree of Life.
“You foolish and ignorant human!”
The Tree of Life was enraged. “Now that you’ve rejected the final bit of a deity’s goodwill be prepared to suffer a deity’s fury!
“God’s Domain!”
A terrifying energy wave instantly came crushing down on Meng Lei. As if his acupoints had been sealed, he instantly froze on the spot, unable to move even a fingertip.
“It’s over! All over!”
Ol’ Amos heaved a sigh.
“It isn’t! It’s not over yet!”
Meng Lei, whose eyes were bloodshot and looked as if a crazed man, ordered, “System, raise the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate!
“Don’t stop! Raise it as much as possible! Until all my Wealth has been redeemed for credit!”
“Ding! Dear host, your Wealth amounts to a total of 73.2 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals. It is possible to raise the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate by 7%. May I know whether you’d like to raise it?”
“Yes!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrank by 70 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!
Boom!

Underneath the Tree of Life and inside the golden shield, everyone had lost all hope. Many of them vented their hatred on Meng Lei.
“You bastard!”
“It’s all his fault! If it hadn’t been for him, we wouldn’t have landed ourselves in such a predicament!”
“That fool screwed us over so bad!”
“It’s over! All over!”
“What a pitiful and foolish idiot. Is he actually having delusions of resistance? What a joke! How laughable! Tragic...”
Boom!
However, it was at this moment that innumerable greenish-black air currents suddenly burst forth from Meng Lei, who had been imprisoned on the spot by the Tree of Life’s God’s Domain and unable to move even a finger.
As though blazing cyan flames yet also like thick, roiling smoke signals of war rising high into the sky, they wrapped all around Meng Lei in an instant.
Boom!
As if skyrocketing, Meng Lei’s aura spiked and expanded insanely.
, 50, 98, 99...
Boom!
It instantly went off the charts.
In the time for one to take just a few short breaths, Meng Lei’s aura had been boosted by not just a hundred or a thousand times—a terrifying pressure spread and swept outward in every direction, crashing down on everyone’s spirits.
Boom!
Hardly able to breathe, everyone felt as though a great mountain that weighed a billion tons was weighing down on them. Shock and horror filled their eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“What has happened to that idiot?”
“Meng Lei has broken through again?”
Abbe’s beautiful eyes twinkled with extraordinary splendor.
“Eh?”
The Tree of Life let out a soft sound of surprise and commented, “That cunning human has actually broken through in the face of danger? Interesting!”
Screech!
A sharp, ear-piercing howl that almost pierced right through everyone’s souls suddenly rang out.
As everyone’s ears rang, to their horror, they saw the hologram of a furry creature manifest above Meng Lei.
Sleek, shiny fur!
Greenish-black, ink-like skin!
Sharp, savage-looking fangs!
And icy-cold eyes!
The Tree of Life exclaimed softly, “What’s that?”
For some reason, the hologram was actually causing a sense of fear that reached right into one’s bones and a sense of dread that could intimidate one’s soul in it.
It felt just like...
When it had faced a powerful Saint Domain Magical Beast when it was still small and weak—vulnerable, helpless, and pitiful...
“No! I’m a great half-deity! There’s nothing I fear!
“That’s right! There isn’t a single lifeform that I fear!”
Murderous intent overflowed from the Tree of Life’s speech as it dispelled its feelings of fear and dread.
“No matter who you are and no matter what kind of bloodline you carry, go to hell!”
Overwhelming divine power came fully crashing down on Meng Lei. Then, a golden branch shot toward him.
Whoosh!
In most people’s memories, tree branches were typically very light, nimble, and tender objects, but this particular golden branch from the Tree of Life was instead incredibly heavy and unbelievably quick.
A fearsome build coupled with a fearsome speed—one can easily imagine just how great the driving force contained in the branch must be.
Should one be struck by it, those weaker than half-deities would surely die on impact. As for how a half-deity would fare... No-one knew!
Slash!
The golden branch ripped through the air and reached Meng Lei in an instant. Just as it was about to lash against him...
Whoosh!
At the very last moment, Meng Lei—who had been trapped—vanished, leaving behind not even a trace of himself.
“What?!” The Tree of Life couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s actually vanished while he’s still inside my God’s Domain! This... This is impossible!”
“Nothing is impossible, you old tree demon!”
A cold, imposing voice rang out as Meng Lei abruptly
