#442 - Chapter 450: Cosmic Spiritual Root, Great Increase in Strength

With a loud shout.

A humanoid creature covered in golden hair, ten zhang tall, with a pair of golden horns on its head, and eyes as hot as two suns, appeared before Jiang Ning.

"Golden Saint Race, peak Chaos King level creature."

Based on the information he learned before coming to the Tongxuan Secret Realm, Jiang Ning recognized the humanoid creature in front of him.

Rumor has it that this lineage possesses the bloodline of the sun.

Ordinary clansmen are at the Chaos Marquis level.

Elite clansmen are at the Chaos King level.

Elders are at the Chaos Supreme level.

The Golden Saint Emperor is at the peak of the Chaos Supreme level!

Legend has it that the strongest member of the Golden Saint Race, the Golden Saint Ancestor, was a Chaos Dominator level creature.

However, he was killed by a strongman of the Jiang Kingdom a long time ago.

They are one of the most powerful races in the Tongxuan Secret Realm.

The Golden Saint Beast was enormous and had an extremely powerful aura, standing there like a blazing star, dazzling and radiant.

"Another human from the outside world, die!"

The Golden Saint Beast's eyes widened in anger, and it swung its huge fist, like a mountain, towards Jiang Ning.

Their ancestor, the Golden Saint Ancestor, had fallen at the hands of humans from the outside world.

Therefore, they deeply hated humans from the outside world.

Whenever they encountered outsiders, they showed no mercy!

"Hmph.", Jiang Ning sneered.

He also swung his fist to meet the attack.

Compared to the Golden Saint Beast's massive size, Jiang Ning's fist looked small and pitiful.

Like a small stone compared to a small hill.

But, it contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Boom!

After the exchange of fists, the Golden Saint Beast didn't even have time to scream before it was directly annihilated.

One must know that Jiang Ning had mastered the Primordial Divine Body, and his physical strength was comparable to a Chaos Controller.

After instantly killing the Golden Saint Beast, Jiang Ning began to plunder all the medicinal fields.

There were more than a dozen Tier 7 Chaos Spiritual Roots alone.

As for the Tier 5 and Tier 6 Chaos Spiritual Roots, there were even more.

As for Chaos Spiritual Roots below Tier 5, Jiang Ning was not interested and didn't bother to pick them.

Chaos Spiritual Roots all have self-awareness and possess formidable strength.

Some of the Chaos Spiritual Roots, after receiving good fortune, can all successfully transform and speak human language.

If one's strength is too low, it is impossible to subdue and refine them.

However, it was clear that even Tier 7 Chaos Spiritual Roots did not have the slightest resistance in the face of Jiang Ning's strength.

Just then, from the depths of the valley, a blazing golden holy light soared into the sky, filling the entire sky.

The light was extremely intense, as if a giant sun was dwelling there.

Jiang Ning looked towards the depths of the valley, narrowed his eyes, and smiled.

"What a powerful aura, perhaps there is some incredible treasure."

Swoosh!

Jiang Ning directly transformed into a stream of light and rushed over.

With Jiang Ning's current trump cards, he could even fight against ordinary Universe Gods.

Naturally, he was not afraid of danger.

The ancestral land of the Golden Saint Race was built with countless towering and enormous palaces.

At this time, all the members of the Golden Saint Race, led by the Golden Saint Emperor and many elders, were all sitting cross-legged in a huge square, forming a circle.

In the center of the circle, endless golden light surged out, emitting a blazing and terrifying aura.

This was also why only one Golden Saint Beast guarded the important medicinal fields.

Today was the most important Tree Festival, held once every ten thousand years by the Golden Saint Race.

All the clansmen gathered here to welcome the descent of the Golden Saint Tree.

Suddenly, the golden waves trembled even more violently.

One after another, illusory figures of Solar Golden Crows continuously emerged, as if performing a mysterious summoning ritual.

At this time, all the members of the Golden Saint Race became fiery, devout, and excited.

"Golden Saint Tree!"

"The great ancestor is about to appear."

"The true ancestor of our race, the Golden Tree, is about to appear."

The Golden Saint Emperor, whose height exceeded ordinary clansmen, reaching more than ten zhang, roared excitedly.

"Welcome the ancestor's arrival!"

The other Golden Race members followed closely, devoutly kneeling on the ground.

Entering an extremely fanatical state.

Boom!

At this moment, a towering ancient tree appeared.

Its roots were deeply embedded in the boundless void.

Its entire body was golden, emitting an incomparably blazing aura.

Each leaf was like a round of the sun, its light dazzling and blinding.

Immense, imposing, fiery, terrifying!

This was the entire Golden Saint Race's faith, the true ancestor in their hearts, the Golden Saint Tree!

"Peak Tier 9 Chaos Spiritual Root!"

Jiang Ning, who had just arrived, was extremely shocked.

A peak Tier 9 Chaos Spiritual Root was something that even someone of Jiang Lie's status would covet and desperately fight for.

It was evident how precious it was.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

"Ancestor, we are finally able to see you again!"

At this time, the entire Golden Saint Race became excited and thrilled, even weeping with joy.

"What is the origin of this Golden Saint Tree?"

"Its aura is so terrifying, it makes my soul feel like it's being burned."

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Staring intently at the Golden Saint Tree, not even blinking.

As if wanting to completely see through it.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared in Jiang Ning's mind.

[You carefully observed a remnant branch of the Universe Spiritual Root, Solar Divine Tree, triggered the Instant Learning Cheat, and comprehended the 'Great Sun Chaos Sutra'!]

"Controller-level Chaos cultivation technique!"

Jiang Ning was overjoyed.

"So, this Golden Saint Tree is a remnant branch of the Universe Spiritual Root, Solar Divine Tree, that fell into the Tongxuan Secret Realm and then grew out."

Above Chaos Spiritual Roots are Universe Spiritual Roots.

They are also divided into Tier 1 to Tier 9.

Legend has it that all Universe Spiritual Roots above Tier 5 can directly transform successfully.

As for the Solar Divine Tree, Jiang Ning had obtained some information from the records in the Scripture Depository.

It was a mysterious Tier 8 Universe Spiritual Root.

Rumor has it that it was cut down by a mysterious expert in the past, broken into countless remnant branches, and flew to all parts of the universe.

Presumably, this Golden Saint Tree was a branch of the Solar Divine Tree that had developed.

Clearly, it was not an ordinary Tier 9 Chaos Spiritual Root and had extremely strong potential.

Perhaps, it could even transform into the Solar Divine Tree again.

This was also why the Golden Saint Tree appeared once every ten thousand years.

It had been in seclusion, absorbing energy, wanting to transform into the Solar Divine Tree.

If he directly refined the Golden Saint Tree, decomposing it into energy to break through realms, it would obviously be a great pity.

Jiang Ning's mind became active.

Suddenly, he remembered a Controller-level secret technique he had comprehended in the Chaos Heavenly Tablet in the Chaos Palace.

"Moth Vine Technique!"

As the name suggests, it can refine a branch and vine-like Chaos Spiritual Root and merge it with oneself to assist in battle.

If Jiang Ning fuses with the Golden Saint Tree, his combat power will definitely greatly increase.

Moreover, in the future, he can also cultivate the Golden Saint Tree into the Solar Divine Tree.

After thinking everything through, Jiang Ning directly appeared, condensed a giant hand, and grabbed towards the Golden Saint Tree.

Controller-level divine power, Star Picking Hand!

The hand can pick stars, showing its powerful power.

"Who is it?"

"Dare to intrude into my Golden Ancestral Land, courting death!"

Seeing Jiang Ning attack the Golden Saint Tree, enraged the entire Golden Race.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this time, they all attacked Jiang Ning.

"Get out of the way!"

Jiang Ning shouted loudly, sweeping one hand towards the Golden Race.

He had Controller-level combat power, and the strongest member of the Golden Saint Race, the Golden Saint Emperor, was only at the peak of the Chaos Supreme level.

How could they be Jiang Ning's opponent? They were directly blown away by an invisible and powerful force.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

They all vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning continued to attack the Golden Saint Tree.

At this time, the Golden Saint Tree began to fight back.

Countless branches and vines shattered the void, transforming into sharp weapons, attacking Jiang Ning.

Bang!

The giant hand directly shattered, and Jiang Ning was knocked back a long distance.

"As expected of the Solar Divine Tree's bloodline, so strong!"

Boom!

Jiang Ning used the Primordial Divine Body for the first time.

Immediately, he grew to a height of a hundred zhang, his whole body completely enveloped in light, like a giant spanning across the universe.

"Kill!"

Giant Jiang Ning charged towards the Golden Saint Tree.

Controller-level physical power was incredibly astonishing.

Any random punch would actually shatter the void.

The Golden Saint Tree waved its branches and vines, like tentacles, entangling and attacking Jiang Ning.

Bang!

The branches and vines whipped Jiang Ning's body, producing bursts of sparks.

Jiang Ning's physical body was too strong, and it couldn't break his defense at all.

He then grabbed the branches and vines with his bare hands, and with a slight force, he broke the Golden Saint Tree's branches and vines.

The Golden Saint Tree became furious.

All the branches and vines intertwined, forming a huge tornado, strangling Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning sneered.

Swoosh!

He flew into the high sky, and then clenched his fist.

The entire fist began to burst out with blazing light, forming a star-like brilliance.

Exploding Star Killing Fist!

Controller-level physical divine power.

Jiang Ning descended from the sky, his fist capable of shattering a Chaos Star, smashing towards the Golden Saint Tree.

Rumble~

The entire world was shaking violently, and large areas of the void were collapsing one after another.

This scene terrified the Golden Saint Race.

Bang!

Jiang Ning shattered all the branches and vines with one punch.

The Golden Saint Tree's trunk actually cracked, flowing out golden liquid.

Clearly, under the attack of Jiang Ning's full-strength punch, the Golden Saint Tree was injured.

At this time, Jiang Ning used the Star Picking Hand again, and the Golden Saint Tree was no longer able to resist.

It was directly grabbed in Jiang Ning's palm, and then Jiang Ning cast a spell, turning it into a small sapling, placed on the palm of his hand.

Like holding a round of the sun, blazing, radiant, and dazzling.

"Directly use the Moth Vine Technique to refine the Golden Saint Tree."

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate at all and directly set up a barrier.

Afterwards, he forced out a drop of his own blood essence and merged it into the Golden Saint Tree.

"Merge for me!"

Jiang Ning cast a divine power and began to suppress the Golden Saint Tree.

Although the Golden Saint Tree was injured, it was still desperately resisting.

Making Jiang Ning's fusion not smooth.

After all, this was a Chaos Spiritual Root equivalent to a Controller-level strength.

How could it be so easy to subdue.

"Suppress!"

Jiang Ning cast countless divine powers to suppress it. At this time, half of the Golden Saint Tree's body had already merged into Jiang Ning's skin.

But, its fierce resistance still hadn't stopped.

Making Jiang Ning sweat profusely.

"This thing is resisting too fiercely, it's too difficult to completely merge it into my body."

Jiang Ning's expression was a little bad.

Suddenly, he thought of the 'Great Sun Chaos Sutra' that he had just comprehended.

"Try it!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He circulated the Great Sun Chaos Sutra.

At this time, Jiang Ning seemed to have transformed into a sun.

His whole body emitted an incomparably blazing aura.

The Golden Saint Tree sensed this blazing aura and trembled excitedly.

Not only did it no longer resist Jiang Ning's fusion, but it also desperately took the initiative to merge with Jiang Ning.

"Success!"

Jiang Ning was overjoyed and quickly used the Moth Vine Technique.

[You are in the process of fusion, triggered the Experience Cheat, fusion speed increased by one million times!]

Using the Moth Vine Technique to fuse a branch and vine-like Chaos Spiritual Root was an extremely long process.

But, with the million-fold speed bonus of the cheat, it became extremely fast.

In addition, Jiang Ning increased the flow of time by a thousand times.

It didn't take long before he successfully fused with the Golden Saint Tree and cultivated the Moth Vine Technique.

"Kill!"

Jiang Ning gently raised his hand.

From the palm of his hand, a large number of branches and vines stretched out, blasting towards the void.

Bang!

In an instant, the entire void was completely annihilated.

"What a terrifying power. After cultivating the Moth Vine Technique and fusing with the Golden Saint Tree, my strength has increased a lot."

"Moreover, the Chaos power refined by the Great Sun Chaos Sutra can allow the Golden Saint Tree to absorb and evolve."

"Attaching the power of the Great Sun Chaos Sutra to the Golden Saint Tree can enhance its attack power."

Jiang Ning secretly rejoiced.

The Golden Saint Tree was equivalent to one of his Chaos divine weapons, and also equivalent to a puppet subordinate.

Jiang Ning was extremely happy.

After all, the Golden Saint Tree could greatly increase his strength.

Moreover, it was something with the potential to grow.

He retracted the barrier.

At this time, led by the Golden Saint Emperor, a group of Golden Race members surrounded him.

"It's this hateful human who killed our ancestor, the Golden Saint Tree. We must make him pay with blood."

All the Golden Race members' eyes were red, wishing they could eat Jiang Ning's flesh and drink his blood.

Knowing that they were not Jiang Ning's opponent, but for their faith, they were not afraid of death and wanted to fight Jiang Ning.

"Your ancestor, the Golden Saint Tree, is not dead, it has merged with me."

"From now on, I am the ancestor of your race."

He spread out his palm, and the miniature version of the Golden Saint Tree bloomed on his palm.

Emitting extremely strong power.

Although the Heavens and Worlds could be converted, it was clear that the Chaos Marquis level was no longer able to convert a stronger existence.

If he wanted to subdue the Golden Saint Race, he could only rely on their faith in the Golden Saint Tree.

Because the power of faith of the Golden Saint Race was the energy source for the Golden Saint Tree to transform into the Solar Divine Tree.

Jiang Ning must subdue the Golden Saint Race.

After refining the Golden Saint Tree, Jiang Ning also obtained some useful information about it.

"This..."

The Golden race hesitated as they looked at the Golden Holy Tree in Jiang Ning's palm.

At that moment, the Golden Holy Tree actively released a pressure, enveloping the Golden race, as if conveying a message to them.

Immediately, led by the Golden Sacred Emperor, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Seeing that he had subdued the Golden Sacred race, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

He took them all into his Great World.

"This is the Great Sun Chaos Sutra. From now on, you will cultivate it."

Jiang Ning passed the Great Sun Chaos Sutra to the Golden Sacred race.

Cultivating the power of chaos transformed by the Great Sun Chaos Sutra can allow the Golden Holy Tree to grow and transform.

Moreover, the higher the realm of the Golden race, the stronger the faith power they provide, which is more conducive to the growth and transformation of the Golden Holy Tree.

Of course, it is also related to the number of Golden race members.

In the future, Jiang Ning will find ways to obtain some treasures to increase fertility, give birth to more Golden Sacred Beast cubs, and enhance the power of faith.

This time, the harvest was huge.

Moreover, submitting the Golden Sacred race's clan-guarding supernatural power, the Golden Sacred Fist, will also grant him a chance to enter the Chaos Hall.

The Golden Sacred race has been stationed in the Profound Realm for many years and has a rich heritage.

Their collection of natural treasures is vast, fully meeting Jiang Ning's needs for breaking through his realm.

"I will break through here."

Jiang Ning sat down cross-legged again, set up a barrier, and began to break through his realm.
