Zhou Huai was slightly taken aback, but then immediately chose to trust Rahil's judgment.

"It's up to you now," Zhou Huai transmitted his thoughts in his mind.

Using the recoil from the collision, he retreated rapidly, transforming into a streak of dark golden light, instantly creating a hundred-meter distance between himself and Mr. Duan's clone.

As he retreated, a faint green tinge appeared on Zhou Huai's fingertips.

He separated the World Tree avatar, Rahil, from his body and, under the cover of the raging energy, hid it in the shadows behind the Origin Tree.

Mr. Duan's clone stood still, looking at Zhou Huai who had distanced himself, and sneered.

"What? My dear nephew, are you planning to run away already?" Mr. Duan straightened his sleeves, his tone condescending.

“I told you long ago, you’re not going anywhere today. This sacred tree will be your burial place.”

"Old man, you talk too much nonsense!"

Zhou Huai gripped the Abyss Blood Dragon Spear tightly with both hands, shattered the void beneath his feet, and charged towards Mr. Duan's clone once more.

"boom!"

The Blood Dragon Spear's crimson light surged, unleashing a deluge of spear shadows that instantly sealed off all of Mr. Duan's clone's escape routes.

Zhou Huai deliberately controlled the angle of his attack, guiding the aftershocks of the collision in the opposite direction to cover Rahil's approach to the Origin Tree from the shadows.

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant, and the sound of explosions echoed continuously in the underground space.

"You dare to launch an attack with such little skill?" Mr. Duan's clone sneered, casually tapping his walking stick to shatter the countless gun shadows.

The moment the walking stick touched him, Zhou Huai's gaze sharpened.

We've found the weakness!

"go!"

Zhou Huai swung his left hand violently, and the dormant Absolute Sea Chain shot out with a "whoosh," tightly binding the walking stick in Mr. Duan's clone's hand, and then rising up to firmly bind his torso.

"The same trick, how long do you think you can trap me?" The black high-dimensional laws on Mr. Duan's body surged, trying to break the Nether Chains.

"Just one second is enough to trap you!"

Zhou Huai directly activated Victor's spatial laws.

"Tear!"

Zhou Huai forcefully tore open a massive spatial rift in the void. He grabbed the Netherworld Chains and, using the pull, dragged the bound Mr. Duan clone into the rift.

The scene changed abruptly.

The battlefield between the two instantly shifted from the underground sacred tree space to ten thousand meters above the holy city.

Without the constraints of the underground space, the fluctuations of the laws spread out unimpeded in the high sky.

Zhou Huai unleashed his full power in his divine domain.

"Die!"

The raging purple lightning, the blazing sun flames, and countless spatial blades transformed into a torrential rain of laws, pouring down upon Mr. Duan's clone.

Faced with such an offensive, Mr. Duan remained calm and composed.

"A trivial skill."

Without moving an inch, a black aura of law rippled around him, directly neutralizing the overwhelming attacks.

The lightning was swallowed up, the flames were extinguished, and the spatial blade shattered. The energies around the two collided wildly, and the shockwaves dispersed all the clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles.

At this moment, inside the underground space.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Duan's clone was lured away, Rahil arrived directly beneath the Origin Tree.

He looked up at the enormous tree that radiated a holy light.

Rahil's body glowed with a verdant light, his feet plunged into the black void, his body grew taller, and countless crystal-clear branches stretched out from behind him.

Transparent branches extend upwards, precisely connecting with the drooping aerial roots of the sacred tree of origin.

The moment they connected, the two life energies of the same origin resonated intensely.

Green ripples spread through the underground void, and the veins of the sacred tree, which had been suppressed and dimmed, began to light up one by one.

The black chains of law binding the tree trunk cracked, and fine cracks appeared on their surface.

A low hum emanated from the underground space, the Origin Tree trembled slightly, and Rahil was awakening the vast consciousness that had been dormant.

10,000 meters above the ground.

Mr. Duan's clone sensed the unusual fluctuations coming from underground.

"What mischief have you been up to down there?!" Mr. Duan's clone shouted sternly, his walking stick bursting with black light as he slammed it down on Zhou Huai.

Just then, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out in Zhou Huai's mind.

"Zhou Huai".

Zhou Huai's spirits jolted, and the Abyss Blood Dragon Spear in his hand slacked off by half a beat. The walking stick grazed his shoulder, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

It was his mother. The mother who suffered so much to protect him.

"Zhou Huai, you've finally arrived." The woman's voice rang out again.

"Mom! I'm here to save you!" Zhou Huai roared in his mind.

"I can sense you're locked in combat with Duan's clone. Hold on, I'm coming to help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sacred tree of origin underground burst forth with a dazzling, holy golden light.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The black chains of law binding the sacred tree shattered inch by inch, turning into black smoke and dissipating. The Origin Sacred Tree had completely broken free of its shackles.

A vast amount of life essence poured out, flowing into Rahil's body through the connected transparent branches.

Their consciousness and origin have completely merged into one.

Rahil opened his eyes after the fusion, his aura surging. His entire body was enveloped in a halo of chaos and life, and ancient Heavenly Dao inscriptions appeared on the surface of his tree.

His power level has jumped several steps.

High in the sky, Mr. Duan's clone sensed the out-of-control force below and his expression changed drastically.

"Impossible! Who disturbed the essence of my sacred tree!" Mr. Duan's clone roared, turning around to tear through space and rush back underground.

"Where do you want to go?!"

Zhou Huai immediately activated Victor's spatial laws and tore his hands outwards.

A spatial passage directly connects the space at an altitude of ten thousand meters with the underground sacred tree space.

"Rahil, come here!"

Zhou Huai shouted, instantly lifting the fused Rahil into the sky.

A flash of green light. Rahil transformed into a streak of light and pierced straight into Zhou Huai's body.

boom--!

A surge of immense energy instantly coursed through Zhou Huai's entire body.

Zhou Huai raised his head and let out a long howl.

The fusion of the Origin Tree and the World Tree took root and grew directly deep within his dantian. The trunk extended along his meridians to every part of his body, and his flesh and blood were thoroughly cleansed by this high-dimensional life essence.

Immediately afterwards.

All the clones within Zhou Huai's body, including Yasuo, Gandalf, Viktor, and Li Er, transformed into fruits of different colors.

The purple of thunder, the red of flames, the silver of space, the gold of merit... these fruits of law hang on the branches of the sacred tree within Zhou Huai's body.

Each fruit continuously supplies Zhou Huai with its primordial power.

"Click...click..."

In Zhou Huai's view, the data panel that had been with him for so long began to crack.

With a cracking sound, the data panel shattered and disappeared completely.

All the numerical values representing levels and attributes were transformed into the power of laws, merging into Zhou Huai's flesh and blood.

A domain of laws automatically formed around him. Within this domain, space, time, and elements moved at will, no longer bound by any rules.

Zhou Huai completely broke free from the shackles of social hierarchy in the present world and officially stepped into the realm of the transcendent.
