A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2322 Destruction

However, everyone's sorrow did not last for too long.

After Ye Fan's punches and kicks, everyone was surprised to find that the towering divine tree was not damaged in the slightest.

Not even a single leaf fell.

“What... How is this possible?” Ye Fan was completely stunned.

He watched the scene before him in disbelief.

Ye Fan was fully aware of just how powerful his punch had been.

Yet, not even a single leaf moved.

The resilience of the Universe Tree undoubtedly took Ye Fan by surprise.

However, unlike the shock experienced by Ye Fan.

The Supreme from various nations behind him, upon witnessing this scene, immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness.”

“Thank goodness, everything's fine.”

“Otherwise, how are we going to utilize this divine tree for cultivation in the future?”

Many people sighed, their faces already showing a smile.

However, no sooner had they finished speaking, there came a deafening roar.

So it turned out, it was Ye Fan who launched another attack on the Universe Tree.

“Why is he trying again?”

“Gaius, you better persuade the Dragon Master!”

“Has Chu Tianfan lost his mind?”

“He has ascended to sainthood himself, yet he seeks to block our path forward?”

“Such a bad intention!”

Suddenly, the crowd was filled with outrage.

Everyone began to vehemently criticize Ye Fan.

Everyone felt that Ye Fan, being in a high position, feared being surpassed by future generations, so he wanted to destroy this Universe Tree.

Such jealousy was a behavior of a petty person!

At this moment, Gaius also had a bewildered look on his face.

He didn't know why the Dragon Master suddenly decided to strike down a tree.

The tree had been here minding its own business, not bothering anyone at all.

However, such confusion was merely voiced in the heart.

Gaius was not stupid either.

Nobody dared to question Ye Fan.

“I must urge you to understand, I am a subordinate of the Dragon Master. Whatever he does, I support him unconditionally. So, I won't be convincing him for you.”

These people sure had wicked intentions.

They didn't dare to provoke Ye Fan, so they asked Gaius to be the bad guy.

At this point, Ye Fan was truly excited. Gaius was sure that if he stepped forward and uttered even half a word of persuasion, Ye Fan would directly land a punch on his head.

For a moment, faced with Gaius's words, no one dared to speak.

Among the hundreds of people here, countless Supreme masters were there, yet not a single one dared to step forward and intervene.

All they could do was stand behind with faces filled with sorrow as they watched Ye Fan ruthlessly ravage the divine tree.

Yet, to everyone's astonishment, no matter how Ye Fan attacked aggressively, he still couldn't shake the Universe Tree in the slightest.

Not even a single leaf fell from the tree.

“D*mn it! I don't believe that I can even defeat Symborsus but not a tree!”

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and roared in anger.

Then, Ye Fan stretched out his arm, let out a loud shout, and his sword appeared.

Buzz!

At the edge of the horizon, the Sword of Yunyang, as if responding to a summon, broke through the sky.

Cutting through the vast sky, it came straight to Kransbay.

In the end, it was held in Ye Fan's palm.

In this manner, under the vast sky, Ye Fan raised his sword with both hands, slashing it down toward the Universe Tree beneath him.

Sword energy crisscrossed, nearly piercing through the sky.

The chilling sword energy swept across this desolate land.

The ancient tree shook greatly, and the earth quaked.

The patterns on the leaves and branches of the initially still Universe Tree started to emit green light.

And it was this green light spot that formed a light shield around it, blocking most of Ye Fan's sword energy on the outside.

What shocked Ye Fan even more was...

Even the sword energy that managed to break through the protective shield and rush in, causing several cracks on the body of the tree, astonishingly healed at an extremely fast speed under the entwining green light.

“What tree is this?”

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with horror.

He was becoming increasingly aware that a terrifying creature seemed to have sprouted on Earth.

“Holy moly!”

“This is a divine organism!”

In the mountains behind, the masters from various countries were also left dumbfounded.

They had always believed that Ye Fan was now the strongest master in the world.

It was likely that no life on Earth could withstand Ye Fan's sword.

But now, this divine tree, not only survived under Ye Fan's sword, but it could even heal itself.

“It is indeed the divine tree...”

“Hahaha...”

“We've found a treasure on Earth!”

Everyone immediately became excited.

Even now, they still believed that this Universe Tree was a divine tree, a gift from the heavens to Earth.

But, how could they possibly know that this tree might one day have the power to destroy the world?

“Why has it come to this? Has it become this resilient in just a short year? Am I really not strong enough to destroy it?”

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with gloom, his face painted with an expression of grave seriousness.

“No way! I must destroy it! If I allow it to grow, I'm afraid it will become even harder to deal with in the future.”

Ye Fan's brows furrowed tightly, a firm resolution forming in his heart. He was determined to destroy this tree.

In this manner, after executing a series of moves, Ye Fan did not give up. Instead, he launched a fiercer attack.

Ye Fan used all of his Qi on Celestial Cloud as well as Cloud and Mist Sword Technique.

On Mount Kransbay, countless thunder roared for seven days and seven nights.

However, despite Ye Fan's earth-shattering efforts, he was unable to inflict even the slightest damage on the Universe Tree.

In the end, Ye Fan ultimately gave up.

What Duanmu Wan'er said was right.

He was late!

It was too late!

In just a short span of a year, this Universe Tree had grown into a formidable entity, so powerful that even with all of Ye Fan's strength, he could not break it.

The Symborsus sealed beneath the ground, perhaps sensing Ye Fan's actions, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha... So you've just now realized that this Universe Tree is a massive disaster for Earth? It's way too late now. As it stands today, it is no longer something your mortal bodies can eradicate.”

The Symborsus laughed wildly.

“Chu Tianfan, perhaps I should be thanking you for helping me open the gates of heaven and guide the Universe Tree here. The day Earth meets its end, the seal planted by Chu Yunyang years ago will also naturally break apart. At that time, Symborsus will finally be free!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Beneath the ground, the Symborsus spoke in his hoarse voice.

Ever since the battle at Mount Kransbay, Ye Fan had undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to the Symborsus.

His spiritual energy had become extremely weak.

The only option was to take refuge underground, to rest and recuperate.

However, the Symborsus did not resign to its fate.

This Universe Tree was yet another support for him to regain his freedom.

The Universe Tree was still in its growth phase.

Before long, it would grow even larger, so large that the golden speck of light in Sky Gate would no longer suffice to sustain its growth. When that time came, the Universe Tree would naturally set its sights on Earth.

When the time came, all life on Earth would become its nourishment.

At this moment, only Ye Fan and a few others like the Symborsus were privy to these matters.

At this moment, the various Supremes on Mount Kransbay were still gloating over Ye Fan's inability to break the Universe Tree.

But how would these fools know that the end of the world was imminent?

Ye Fan finally gave up on destroying the Universe Tree. He turned around and descended Mount Kransbay.

The Masters from various nations turned their gaze toward Ye Fan, who seemed to be exhausted. “Hall Master Chu, this divine tree is a gift from the heavens. It is under the protection of the heavens. It's something that can't be destroyed by human effort. I hope that you won't waste your efforts in the future.”

Someone was trying to persuade Ye Fan, clearly hoping that Ye Fan would abandon the idea of destroying the divine tree.

Ye Fan looked at them with an indifferent expression, scoffed, and said, “A gift? After the incident at Dragon Gate, you people still haven't had an awakening. Do you really think the world will bestow you with gifts for no reason? You guys thought the Dragon Gate Project was a blessing, but what became of it? Truth be told, if this tree isn't destroyed, the consequences will be even more disastrous than what Symborsus is capable of.”
