Every Supreme Realm Expert had lived for hundreds of millions of years. Not to mention that these were the old monsters of the last great cosmic epoch, some had even gone past six or seven cosmic epochs already. Both their accumulation and insight had already reached a terrifying level.

The comprehended special abilities were far beyond the imagination of the ordinary experts. What’s more, there were thirty-six of them taking planned actions.

Once they were to take their move, it would surely be horrendously terrifying, a situation where death was guaranteed.

Right there and then, a huge formation, which was cast at Jiang Ming, Pan Wang, and Hong Ying, made even Pan Wang feel trepidation. “There’re a total of nine Supreme Sacred Formations that are connected together and mutually propelling among themselves, forming an incomparably terrifying killing formation. Once they are completely evoked, I’m afraid I may not break out in a short time. They are aiming to have us dead.”

If he had faced such a situation before his breakthrough, he would have died without a doubt.

In the midst of the great formation, there were even a total of 36 pieces of the Supreme Treasures empowering the array, allowing its might to reach an unprecedented level.

“Forming time and space itself, imprisoning all orders and sealing off every power of Law, this formation disables the people trapped within it from mobilizing the energy from the outside world. A Supreme Expert indeed can’t do anything to resist the power of this formation.” Jiang Ming nodded, agreeing with Pan Wang’s remark earlier.

The void twisted as the great formation’s divine might pervaded. Everything around the place changed drastically to the point that even the order itself was rebuilt and formed into a single entity.

In front of them, dozens of experts emerged. It was apparent that they still had some questions to ask Pan Wang.

“Pan Wang, who exactly is this person beside you? Why does he have the treasured tree that nurtures three thousand Daos? Could it be that this is the legendary Tree that can give birth to another universe, the World Tree?” A white-haired old man inquired.

He looked very ordinary, except for his pair of golden cold eyes that were very intimidating.

“Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern!” Pan Wang hissed. “What does it matter to you whether it is or not? Aren’t all of you plotting to seize this treasured tree? How can you not know anything about it?”

“It’s because we don’t know, we’re asking now.” Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern was not angry at all as he continued, “Now that we have already set up this great formation, you are all cats in the bag. If you cooperate well, we might still spare your lives.”

“Can you even make the call?” Jiang Ming smiled and asked rhetorically.

“Of course I can!” The Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern turned to Jiang Ming. “Fellow Daoist, can you elaborate more on this? There aren’t any deep grudges between us and I’m sure that you have already guessed the reason for us besieging you. It’s all for the name of transcendence. If it wasn’t for us noticing the glimmer of chance for transcendence from the World’s Tree, why would we even trouble you?”

“You’re indeed a straightforward person!” Jiang Ming said, “Where did you hear of the World Tree?”

“The Valley of the End!”

“Care to tell us more about it?”

“Sure.”

Without any hesitation, the Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern told of what he knew.

Three great cosmic epochs ago, he went into the Valley of the End and was swept into a corridor. In that corridor, there were a series of murals where it depicted a seed at the beginning of the murals.

The Seed was planted within a certain universe and absorbed the universe’s nutrients to sprout and grow. When the universe was destroyed, it then began to devour Chaos.

“The last mural was of the entire Chaos disappearing into thin air, replaced by that tree. This tree had its leaves as stars and branches as the star rivers. On top of its crown was a portal which was connected to somewhere. Its roots were firmly rooted between the darkness. At the end of the mural, there was three Dao wording engraved: “The World Tree”

Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern slowly recounted the past.

“When I heard that a fellow Daoist, who is following Pan Wang around, has been taking out a Treasured Tree to devour a destroyed universe, I recalled this incident. Fellow Daoist, what you have in your hand is the World Tree, right? You’re letting it devour the destroyed universes for it to grow.”

“Alas, the World Tree. There’s nothing it can’t devour! Destroyed Universes are filled with a boundless aura of calamity, grievance, fury, and death. Even if experts such as ourselves were to enter the destroyed universe, we would be infected and will eventually die within it. However, the world tree can actually devour them as its sustenance! How incredible is that? This also means that its essence is beyond the realm of the Supreme. Beyond the realm of the Supreme is akin to transcendence.”

“Fellow Daoist, what say you take out the World Tree and we’ll help it grow together? It has to devour universes right? I know of some locations of destroyed universes. We can even help it to devour the universes’ origin as well.”

The Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern’s eyes were blazing in enthusiasm.

The origin of the universe meant the current Xinghe Galaxy. When Pan Wang heard the Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern’s remarks, he was furious and couldn’t help but become nervous.

If Jiang Ming was to agree with the Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern and devour his universe, he wouldn’t be able to stop it even if he wanted to.

“Your idea is very good indeed. It’s unfortunate that I have a few good friends back in the origin of the universe.” Jiang Ming shook his head. “Seeing that you’ve been steadfast, I’ll give you a chance. Leave and you’ll still keep the life of yours, free to enjoy the freedom through the infinite times. Otherwise, this place shall be your tomb.”

“Haha!” The Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern guffawed. “I don’t care if you aren’t willing to submit to us because you’re a Supreme yourself as well. However, you’re still thinking of killing us in return? That’s too arrogant, my fellow Daoist. With you being besieged by 36 of us Supreme Experts, coupled with several great formations, who among the Sea of Chaos could even stand against us? There’s no one!”

“Am I not an existence that transcends the Supreme?” Jiang Ming was amused. f reewe bnovel

“If you’ve transcended the Supreme, why would you still stay in the Sea of Chaos? This place is akin to a cage, a confinement. If there’s a possibility of transcendence, I would risk everything to break through into the outside world and roam around outside, let alone after successfully transcending.” Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern shook his head and continued, “Fellow Daoist, do you really plan on making pointless resistance?”

“Well, I have the World Tree. Why couldn’t I transcend?” Jiang Ming continued, “I am able to devour a whole universe. If I do not have the power to transcend, how would I be able to do so?”

Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern’s heart suddenly felt clenched as his expression changed slightly. In the end, he shook his head and said, “It’s still that same thing that I’ve mentioned earlier. If you have really transcended, why would you still be struggling within the cage? So be it. Since you’re willing to die for it, I’ll fulfill you then!”

“Hold on!” Jiang Ming interrupted and stopped him.

“Could it be that you’ve thought it through?” Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern was quite pleased.

In fact, Immortal Venerate Golden Lantern wasn’t certain if Jiang Ming had actually transcended the Supreme. All would be well if he hadn’t. However, in the chance in a million that he did, they would be in great trouble. Yet, he still thought that with so many fellow Daoists with him, they should be able to take Jiang ming down even if Jiang Ming had transcended.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “Actually, there’s something that I really don’t understand. You are all the most powerful Supremes of different universes throughout the epochs, the most talented genius throughout billions and billions of years from respective universes. Each universe has their own unique cultivation system. With your universe destroyed, you are all wandering through the Sea of Chaos. Hasn’t it crossed your mind to gather yourselves and completely reveal your cultivation techniques to others, so that you can all confer with each other and deduce the path towards transcendence together?”

“There’s so many Supremes within the Sea of Chaos. If everyone were to be organized, I won’t believe that you wouldn’t be able to deduce the path beyond the Supreme! Yet, why didn’t you guys try?”

Jiang Ming asked strangely.

One man might fall short, but when united, we would stand.

Three ordinary Supremes when banded together, would be better than a single Supreme Expert.

Although every one of these Supremes was of the most talented genius of their universe or epoch, each of them would ultimately have their own preferences. Once the wisdom of all the Supremes were gathered, just thinking about it brought chill down Jiang Ming’s spine.
