The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1849: Divine Rune Tree

Endless Chaos, its existence spanning an unknown amount of time.

During these long years, although the number of top-level warriors that have emerged is not many, there have been some. These ultimate warriors, after reaching their peak, often contemplate doing things beyond just cultivating.

For example, establishing a force, like the Void Divine Hall, or the Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

Some ultimate warriors create a special place to store treasures, laying out rules for the fortunate ones in the Endless Chaos to acquire them.

Others, after encountering accidents or being severely injured and nearing death, might leave all their treasures in one place, including their legacy. Such places are later called Chaos Relics or Ancient Relics by future generations.

The place Die Dong is headed to is an Ancient Relic, the remains left behind by an ultimate warrior from the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space after his fall.

When the scene in front of Jing Yan’s eyes recovered, he confirmed that this was indeed a relic space.

In front of him stood a towering tree. The tree trunk was at least ten thousand miles wide, and its height was simply immeasurable.

Moreover, this tree was not a real plant; it seemed constructed from an extraordinarily durable type of ore. On its surface, brilliant Divine Patterns glimmered constantly, emanating pulses of breathtaking power.

Jing Yan noticed that these Divine Patterns appeared to be on the same level as the Hongmeng Dao Pattern.

”Is this... the Ancient Tree Elder’s Relic?” Ye Hai, beside Jing Yan, widened his eyes, displaying a look of shock.

Die Dong glanced at Ye Hai.

”Indeed, this is the Ancient Tree Elder’s Relic. It is one of the most renowned Ancient Relics in the Endless Chaos. Since you know of this relic, you should understand the significance I place on entering it this time.” Die Dong spoke slowly.

The Ancient Tree Elder, one of the ultimate warriors of the Primordial Chaos Tree Space, has been dead for billions of years. Yet, his name still circulates within the Endless Chaos. The Ancient Tree Elder’s Relic is among the most famous relics within the Endless Chaos.

However, only beings below the All Things Realm can enter this relic. Even those at the All Things Realm, despite having a Relic Key, cannot enter. According to reports, so far, no one has been able to decipher the relic key meant by the Ancient Tree Elder.

Die Dong spent an immense cost to obtain this key.

The Ancient Tree Elder’s Relic Key has some very peculiar characteristics. To enter the relic using the key, one must be in a specific region. Die Dong’s key apparently needs to be in the territory of Laning Country; hence he has specifically come to this region.

The Ancient Tree Elder’s Relic Key can transport up to three people. Additionally, the key has its own spirituality; once it appears, it only remains for ten years. Simply put, if a being obtains the key by chance and does not use it within ten years, the key will disappear on its own. No matter where you place it, you cannot prevent the key from vanishing.

”We can’t waste any more time, let’s begin! Go!” Die Dong waved his hand and flew forward first.

Jing Yan and Ye Hai quickly followed in Die Dong’s footsteps.

After over an hour, the trio slowed down. Only at this point did they reach the mineral tree.

Jing Yan sensed a surge of power ahead, seemingly obstructing their progress.

”Is this the Shadowless Barrier? It’s just as the rumors say.” Ye Hai remarked again.

”There’s not much time; we have to break the Shadowless Barrier within thirty minutes, or we won’t be able to enter the internal space of the tree.” Die Dong said as he struck first, with halos swirling out of his arms, crashing forward intensely.

The astounding waves of energy ceased abruptly when approaching a few dozen meters ahead.

”Quickly, attack!” Die Dong barked at Jing Yan and Ye Hai.

Ye Hai immediately attacked as well.

Jing Yan frowned for a moment before joining in the assault.

The Shadowless Barrier is the obstacle to entering the Ancient Tree Elder’s internal relic space. It must be broken within thirty minutes to proceed. If not breached in time, you will be expelled with no second chance. The relic key will vanish after a single use.

Die Dong’s power is truly terrifying. While attacking the Shadowless Barrier, Jing Yan observed Die Dong’s potent moves. Comparing in secret, Jing Yan admitted that even he might not be Die Dong’s match. This Void Son at the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm is indeed extraordinary.

After more than thirty minutes.

”Pop!”

A soft sound seemed to come from ahead, and the faint resistance vanished.

”We broke through!” Ye Hai exclaimed joyfully.

In a little over thirty minutes, they successfully broke the Shadowless Barrier.

”Let’s go in!” Die Dong’s face relaxed slightly as he rushed forward again, with Jing Yan and Ye Hai closely following.

After a few dozen meters, the scene in front of them transformed once again.

”This should be the internal space of the mineral tree.” Jing Yan observed the surroundings.

The space was vast and empty, with nothing special in sight.

After entering the internal space, Die Dong did not stop and continued to move forward swiftly.

”There’s a treasure!” Ye Hai exclaimed suddenly.

Before Ye Hai’s outburst, Jing Yan had also noticed it. Ahead, a patch of brightness appeared, starkly contrasting with the surroundings. Seeing the light, Die Dong’s mouth twitched slightly. The three figures darted forward.

”So exquisite!” Jing Yan couldn’t help but marvel upon seeing the light clearly.

The patch of brightness was actually a collection of Divine Patterns forming a tree-like image. This Divine Pattern Tree appeared almost real.

And at the center of this Divine Pattern Tree design was an ax-like weapon. From the outside, they couldn’t feel the ax’s power and, thus, couldn’t determine its grade.

”Attack! Use brute force to break open the outer Divine Pattern Tree!” Die Dong commanded the two without hesitation.

Being employed by Die Dong, Jing Yan and Ye Hai immediately complied. The three of them continuously attacked the Divine Pattern Tree. This Divine Pattern Tree had no attacking capabilities but boasted terrifying defense. Despite their relentless attacks, it appeared unchanged.

To obtain that ax weapon, breaking through the Divine Pattern Tree was the only way.

After bombarding it for two hours continuously, the Divine Pattern Tree finally showed signs of change and was breached, creating an opening. However, acquiring the ax weapon required completely destroying the Divine Pattern Tree.

The task was formidable!

It took the three of them an entire day of relentless assaults for the Divine Pattern Tree to finally disintegrate.
