Thus, one shouldn’t be fooled by the Tree of Life’s thick and sturdy trunk and incredible height and size. It really didn’t possess that many drops of power of divinity.
To put it bluntly, not only was it the weakest half-deity, but it was also the poorest half-deity.
Precisely because it was poor, how the Tree of Life wished it could use every drop of power of divinity as if it had the capacity of three. How would it possibly have extra power of divinity lying around to squander and waste?
After all, its father was no Li Gang1 or Little Big Brother Ma2, much less the Heavenly Emperor or the Creator.
Therefore, how could the Tree of Life possibly not be filled with fear when faced with a weapon that could consume one’s power of divinity?
“What kind of weapon is it, exactly? To think it can actually consume the power of divinity? Could it be a divine weapon?
“And that hammer, too. It’s even sturdier than my body! It has to be at least a half-divine weapon!
“That bastard! Why does a Saint Domain like him have that many divine weapons? Is there even any justice in this world?!”
The Tree of Life felt terribly frustrated. How venerable and how powerful was a great half-deity like it?
Yet, it was still an impoverished pauper even to this day. On the other hand, Meng Lei instead had divine weapon after divine weapon. How infuriating!
“What is he trying to do? That location...! Could he be...”
The Tree of Life’s countenance changed greatly. It had suddenly realized what Meng Lei wanted to do.
“Damn! His goal isn’t the life essence but my vitality core! I have to stop him! I have to!
“Not only does he hold two divine weapons in his possession, but he’s even ridiculously strong. Once I allow him to go near my vitality core, I’ll be in great danger!
“Divinity Personification!”
Upon realizing the severity of the situation, the Tree of Life was no longer miserly with its power of divinity. It created an even stronger divinity personification and charged toward Meng Lei at all costs!
“Here to deliver food again?”
At the sight of the divinity personification that’d appeared once more, Meng Lei threw the Gods-Slaying Spear over again without any hesitation.
The divinity personification had come prepared this time. It easily dodged the Gods-Slaying Spear, and then it unleashed its skill.
“God’s Domain!”
A terrifying energy wave descended and froze Meng Lei to the ground.
“Divine Technique: Deprivation of Life!”
Meng Lei gave an icy chuckle. Then, a great force erupted from all over him, and he knocked away the shackles of God’s Domain. The Hammer of Destruction appeared in his hand, and he smashed it ruthlessly at the divinity personification!
“Hmph! This is home ground for me here. How can I possibly let you attack me?”
The divinity personification snorted and evaded the Hammer of Destruction’s attacks. To its surprise, however, the Gods-Slaying Spear actually ambushed it from the back and, with a splurt, pierced through its head.
“So what even if it’s your home ground?” Meng Lei sneered, “I can kill you insidiously with a pincer attack all the same!”
Buzz!
Lightning dazzled brightly on the Gods-Slaying Spear’s surface. Then, as though drinking sweet dew, it began to absorb the divinity personification once more.
“You bastard!”
The divinity personification roared furiously. Nevertheless, amid utmost indignation, it was ultimately still cleanly and totally absorbed by the Gods-Slaying Spear, leaving behind not even a trace of itself.
“Let’s continue forward!”
Meng Lei pushed on continuously.
Boom!
The third divinity personification descended. It was obviously an even more solid manifestation than the previous two. Its aura was also more ferocious, and its divine power even more fearsome. The Tree of Life had clearly invested heavily in it.
However, this time round, without even needing Meng Lei’s command, the Gods-Slaying Spear that had gotten addicted to the taste shot forward by itself, chasing after the divinity personification and chomping down on it.
“What the hell!”
The Tree of Life was so frightened that it darted about everywhere. It didn’t have the leisure to attack Meng Lei anymore.
“Here’s my chance!”
It wasn’t attacking Meng Lei, but that didn’t mean that he was going to let it off. Upon finding an opportune moment, Meng Lei smashed the hammer over.
Bam!
The divinity personification was utterly stunned by the blow.
“Ahhh!”
The Gods-Slaying Spear took advantage of the opportunity and impaled the divinity personification’s buttocks in one strike.
“Third divinity personification down!”
Meng Lei chuckled, and then he darted swiftly toward the vitality core.
“Almost there! The life essence is becoming richer and richer! The vitality core must be nearby! Hurry! C’mon! Find it!”
Ol’ Amos was incredibly agitated, so much so that even his voice was somewhat shaking.
Meng Lei broke into another mad dash.
Boom!
Dazzling light suddenly erupted ahead. The light was so piercing that Meng Lei couldn’t even really open his eyes. He had actually arrived at a massive hollow zone.
It was hollowed out.
The area ahead was straight up hollowed out.
And in the center of the hollowed-out zone, a golden sun-like bead hung suspended.
Spanning 100-meters-wide, the surface was covered in mysterious magic runes. It gave off a surging, gushing sense of vigor as if one would extend their lifespan by a thousand years just by taking a breath of it.
Root-like strands extended from the golden bead, connecting to every area of the Tree of Life.
They led everywhere, crisscrossing and intertwining as though one’s neural networks, yet also like a sheep’s intestinal tracts.
Dense and packed, innumerable, and infinite!
“The vitality core! That’s
