When Ender saw the Beast God of Wood, he only felt as if he was seeing the infinitely profound Wood-Space Fusion Laws, which gave him a bit more insight.
"Quakebound, that human kid has woken up."
Seeing Ender look at him with a surprised gaze, the Beast God of Wood transmitted, "You still have remaining Beast God Inheritance Orders available? Do you want me to give you another one?"
Venerable Quakebound looked down at Ender, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"Aren't you trying to take that kid under your wing?"
The Beast God of Wood's gentle voice held a hint of helplessness, "Otherwise, why would you expose his identity...?"
"Haha, you still can't hide it from me."
Venerable Quakebound smiled and transmitted, "I really want to take that kid under my wing. He's only World Master Level but already has such high attainment in Wood-Space Fusion Laws. After he goes to the Ancestral God Sect to receive the Beast God Inheritance, he might even advance further to the sixth level."
The orthodox Beast God Path has a total of seven levels. Reaching the seventh level allows one to transform into a Beast God and achieve a Breakthrough to become a Universe Master through the Beast God Path.
Even a Top-tier Universe Overlord like Venerable Quakebound is still at the sixth level of Perfection in his cultivation of the Beast God Path, just one step away from fully comprehending the complete Wood-Space Fusion Laws.
This means that cultivating the Beast God Path to the sixth level makes it possible for one's strength to reach the Universe Overlord level.
And Ender's current attainment in Wood-Space Fusion Laws is already close to the sixth-level standard. If he becomes a Universe Venerable, his strength will quickly reach the Universe Overlord level.
If he has a Universe Overlord expert under his command, then when Venerable Quakebound issues tasks in the Ancestral God Sect, he won't have to personally undertake most of them; he can just let the Universe Overlord under his command handle them.
"Indeed, that kid's talent and attainment in the Wood-Space Beast God Path are very high. If Chan Li wasn't here, I would even want to take him under my wing in the future," the Beast God of Wood said with some emotion.
While he and Venerable Quakebound were communicating via transmission, Ender was once again moved by seeing him, the Beast God of Wood, and seemed to have made further progress in his comprehension of the Wood-Space Fusion Laws.
"Haha, so my lecturing on Aurora Radiance Continent wasn't a waste of time. Occasionally, I can still discover some Geniuses worth cultivating."
Venerable Quakebound said proudly, "For example, Chan Li back then, and today's Human kid."
"Aren't you afraid that kid will fall midway?"
The Beast God of Wood transmitted, "He is a Human, and with such high talent and attainment in the Beast God Path, he will inevitably be targeted by the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race for assassination bounties. Perhaps Universe Masters from the three races are already on their way."
"The conflict between Humans and the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race has long been deep. If that kid falls during his growth, it can only be said that it was his fate."
Venerable Quakebound said in a deep voice, "But if experts from the three races want to act on this Aurora Radiance Continent, then they'll have to ask if you and I agree!"
"Hey, Quakebound."
The Beast God of Wood's gentle voice held a hint of helplessness, "Don't drag me into that kind of thing. The Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race are all Pinnacle races with True God overseeing them. I don't want to stir up trouble."
Venerable Quakebound comforted him, "Don't worry, the probability of us clashing with experts from the three races is very small."
"True. Compared to Universe Masters from the three races descending, you should be more worried about whether those Universe Venerables will make a move."
The Beast God of Wood transmitted a reminder, "That kid has such talent, the bounty on him from the three races will definitely be extremely high. There's no telling if a Universe Venerable might take the risk."
"How is that possible?"
Venerable Quakebound transmitted confidently, "The entire Aurora Radiance Continent is covered by my Domain Arcana Treasure. Every move of those Universe Venerables is within my control. No one would risk offending..."
Before he finished speaking, Venerable Quakebound's face showed anger, "How dare you!"
"Hm?"
Not only did Venerable Quakebound's face show anger, but even the Beast God of Wood's face showed a hint of surprise.
...
While Venerable Quakebound and the Beast God of Wood were communicating via transmission.
Venerable Xuan Mai had already decided in his heart to go all out, willing to sacrifice his own fall to gamble on being able to kill Ender and obtain the Heavy Treasure reward.
Just then.
Venerable Xuan Mai burned his Immortal Energy, "Ah—!"
His divine body's aura and pressure surged, and the Universe space enveloped by endless prismatic radiance trembled with a "creak" under his surging aura and pressure, as if it would collapse into endless space fragments at any moment.
Buzz!
Because the space here was not sealed, Venerable Xuan Mai directly used Space Teleportation to appear beside Ender, and his black metal claws slammed out fiercely.
Rip!
A crack was torn in the Universe space, and the black claws contained incredibly terrifying power, annihilating the space fragments that fell from the crack, striking the unprepared Ender fiercely.
However, when Venerable Xuan Mai made his move, the omnipresent prismatic radiance took effect. Every wisp of prismatic radiance restrained and obstructed him, constantly weakening the attack power of the black claws.
"Bastard!"
Venerable Xuan Mai roared in his heart, "Damn Domain Type Arcana Treasure restraint!"
On the other side, the violent fluctuations caused by the tearing of space instantly woke Ender.
At the critical moment, the Dragon Awakening Spear, disguised as silver, appeared in his hand without warning, blocking the black claws that contained terrifying power.
Boom!
When the silver spear collided with the black claws, the Universe space enveloped by endless prismatic radiance collapsed, and countless spiderweb-like space cracks spread in all directions.
Invisible shockwaves carrying tiny space fragments spread around, almost instantly impacting thousands of kilometers away, striking the Immortals.
"What happened? Where did these space fragments come from?"
"Such violent space fluctuations, is someone fighting on Aurora Radiance Continent?"
"Who exactly dares to fight on Aurora Radiance Continent in front of Venerable Quakebound and the Beast God of Wood? Are they not afraid that those two great existences will get angry and blast them all to death?"
Feeling the aftermath of the battle, the Immortals felt incredible.
They truly didn't expect anyone to dare to fight on Aurora Radiance Continent, and even in front of two great existences! It was as if they didn't put those two great existences in their eyes at all!
...
Boom!
Ender was sent flying backward instantly after taking one hit, golden blood sprayed out as if it were free, and his enclosed helmet was instantly filled with blood.
Although he blocked in time with the Dragon Awakening Spear, due to the vast difference in the Rank of the secret techniques and the attack power between the two, the weapon only weakened the attack power by 40%.
The remaining attack power was transmitted through the weapon to the 'Raging Roar Frenzied Armor' on his body, and finally weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original power, affecting his entire body.
How terrifying was the attack of an Elementary Universe Venerable!
Even after multiple layers of weakening, it still turned Ender's strengthened body into a puddle of flesh, and his Vitality was extremely weak.
"I succeeded!"
After one strike, Venerable Xuan Mai was restrained by the endless prismatic radiance, but his heart was filled with joy, because his previous strike had hit Ender.
"I am an Elementary Universe Venerable. After burning my Immortal Energy, my attack power is close to that of an Intermediate Universe Venerable. Even if the battle armor refined on that Human is an Arcana Treasure, the Arcana Treasure defense he can activate is extremely limited."
"Even if the attack power has been greatly weakened, the remaining attack power is still formidable, enough to kill a World Master."
Venerable Xuan Mai was incredibly excited in his heart, "I didn't expect this surprise attack to actually succeed, and it indeed hit NO.1! The Heavy Treasure reward is not far from me!"
"Hm? That Human's Vitality hasn't dissipated yet. My Immortal Energy-burning strike didn't even kill him? No!"
Feeling Ender's extremely weak Vitality, but still a glimmer of Vitality remaining, Venerable Xuan Mai felt incredible, and prepared to attack again.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, Venerable Quakebound's furious voice came, clearly transmitted into the minds of everyone on Aurora Radiance Continent.
Buzz!
As Venerable Quakebound's furious voice spread, the restraining force of the endless prismatic radiance covering the entire Aurora Radiance Continent suddenly intensified, directly making it difficult for the Immortals to move.
Even for Universe Venerables, under the restraint and suppression of the endless prismatic radiance, both their speed and attack power were sharply reduced.
And space was also firmly sealed by the prismatic radiance, making it difficult to use Space Teleportation!
The endless prismatic radiance in the sky gathered, and suddenly transformed into colorful sharp swords, pointing directly at Venerable Xuan Mai, who was restrained by the prismatic radiance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless colorful sharp swords shot down, transforming into dazzling colorful streams of light, continuously impacting Venerable Xuan Mai's black metal body, causing his divine body to constantly disperse and reassemble.
"Roar—!" Venerable Xuan Mai roared in pain, his divine body constantly being shattered.
The attack power contained in those colorful sharp swords was extremely terrifying. Each impact could cause damage to the essence of his divine body, causing him immense pain.
Although the divine body loss caused by each sword was not high, the colorful swords were endless, and the impacts were continuous like flowing water!
The colorful stream of light attack lasted less than a second, and Venerable Xuan Mai lost nearly 20% of his divine body, with the Immortal Energy loss continuing to increase with the colorful stream of light impacts.
"Quakebound!"
The Beast God of Wood reminded him, "That kid isn't dead yet. His Awakened special ability should be Source of Life, and that ability is maintaining his bodily functions."
"Hm?"
Venerable Quakebound received the reminder and discovered it with a quick probe.
Just as the Beast God of Wood said, although Ender's body was almost turned into a puddle of flesh, his Soul core was still intact, and his bodily functions were continuously maintained by the special Source of Life.
Of course, he was still in a dying state, which didn't mean he could continue to survive afterward.
"Hm? How is this possible? That Human World Master isn't dead!"
"How did this Human survive?"
"Venerable Xuan Mai burning his Immortal Energy didn't even kill him. Could it be that the battle armor he refined on his body is an Arcana Treasure?"
"That shouldn't be! Even if the battle armor he refined on his body is an Arcana Treasure, it would be very difficult to activate the high-level material attack weakening secret patterns."
The Venerables were puzzled. An Elementary Universe Venerable burning Immortal Energy to attack actually failed to kill a World Master, which truly made them unable to understand.
Seeing that Ender still had a breath left, Venerable Quakebound took out a fruit from his world ring.
The fruit was about 30 centimeters in diameter, with a purple skin, and six circles formed by countless red Law secret patterns on it.
"That is... the Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit!"
"The Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit, a treasure comparable to a Heavy Treasure in rarity!"
"The Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit is extremely precious. It's a treasure that can increase the life gene Rank. Could it be..."
The Universe Venerables present, upon seeing that purple fruit, couldn't help but show envious and greedy expressions. They all desperately wanted to obtain that Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit.
No other reason, it was simply because it was a treasure that could increase the life gene Rank, a treasure that countless Universe Venerables coveted!
"Go."
As Venerable Quakebound moved his claw, the purple fruit instantly appeared above Ender's body, breaking down into countless tiny pieces of pulp that fell down.
When those tiny pieces of pulp landed on Ender's body, they were instantly absorbed by his body, even through his armor and clothing.
Hiss!
Like burning flames, when Ender's body was instantly integrated with those tiny fruit pieces, his body, which had almost turned into a puddle of flesh, immediately became scorching hot.
High temperature formed.
The ground around Ender became cracked, a little smoke rose, and even the air distorted.
However, that terrifying high temperature came quickly and also dissipated very quickly.
As soon as the high temperature formed, Ender's body quickly recovered, bones, meridians, flesh, etc., rapidly reorganized, and as his body reorganized, the terrifying high temperature disappeared.
Soon.
Ender's body recovered as before, even tougher and stronger than before the attack.
"Waste! What a waste!"
"Yes! No matter how serious a World Master's injury is, as long as the Soul is not harmed, ordinary treasures can also restore him to normal."
"Spending a Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit, a treasure comparable to a Heavy Treasure, just to help a World Master kid recover his body, is simply incredibly extravagant!"
"Could it be that Venerable Quakebound doesn't have any lower-end treasures to help that Human kid recover his body?"
Seeing Ender's body restored by the Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit, the Universe Venerables felt regret and excitement. If they could, they would be willing to exchange ten times the amount of low-end recovery treasures for that incredibly precious Violet Pole Six Ring Fruit.
"My body?"
He opened his eyes, looking puzzled. While his body was severely injured, he only felt an incredibly terrifying high temperature seemingly melting his body, but when that high temperature dissipated, his body had recovered as before.
"Kid, your defensive measures are good."
The Beast God of Wood's gentle voice echoed in Ender's mind, "Facing a Universe Venerable's Immortal Energy-burning attack, you actually managed to survive."
Ender asked, "You are?"
"I am the Beast God of Wood."
"Greetings, Beast God." Ender bowed.
The Beast God of Wood continued, "Your body was severely damaged earlier, and only your special ability, Source of Life, was maintaining your bodily functions. Quakebound used a precious treasure to help you recover."
"Precious treasure?"
Ender was a little surprised. Even the Beast God of Wood said it was precious, so it was undoubtedly a truly precious treasure, but...
He was a World Master. No matter how serious his injuries were, as long as his Soul wasn't harmed, then by consuming a "cheap" Life Fruit, he could immediately recover as before.
But Venerable Quakebound actually used a precious treasure on him. Wasn't that a bit of an overkill?
Ender got up and bowed to Venerable Quakebound, "Thank you, Venerable Quakebound."
"Heh, it's nothing, just a treasure equivalent to a Heavy Treasure," Venerable Quakebound said as if he didn't care at all.
"Venerable Xuan Mai violated the non-slaughter rule I set, and attacked you in front of me. His crime is heinous!!"
Venerable Quakebound's voice gradually turned cold, "This time, it won't be as simple as an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
"Venerable Xuan Mai!"
Venerable Quakebound said coldly, "You dare to attack Human King Void River in front of me, completely disregarding me!"
"Great Venerable Quakebound, please listen to my explanation!"
Venerable Xuan Mai, whose divine body was reduced to less than 20% by the countless colorful light swords, was now extremely weak in Vitality, not far from falling into slumber.
"That Human King Void River is an important figure that my Demon Race Alliance intends to assassinate. I am merely following the Demon Race's instructions."
Venerable Xuan Mai tried his best to argue, attempting to use the Demon Race as a shield.
"The Demon Race's instructions? Do you really think I'll believe that?"
Venerable Quakebound sneered, "For countless years, the Demon Race has assassinated countless individuals, but never before has an assassination occurred on Aurora Radiance Continent."
"This is entirely your own unauthorized action, and a complete disregard for me, a Top-tier Universe Overlord."
Venerable Quakebound said coldly, "Now that the Beast God of Wood is also here, you still insist on carrying out the assassination, which is a complete disregard for the Ancestral God Sect's Beast God and the Ancestral God Sect!"
"I..."
Venerable Xuan Mai was stunned. He had no idea that his actions could be twisted into disrespecting the Ancestral God Sect.
"I didn't!"
Venerable Xuan Mai vehemently argued.
The Ancestral God Sect, that was the greatest power in the Universe! How could he, a Universe Venerable from a weak ordinary race, dare to offend such a terrifying power!
Venerable Quakebound announced, "As punishment for disrespecting the Beast God and disrespecting the Ancestral God Sect, I will Soul enslaved you!"
Boom!
The Immortal Venerables were instantly shocked when they heard Venerable Quakebound's words!
